Registrant, International Monetary Systems, Ltd., a Wisconsin corporation,
and its subsidiaries.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Introduction

   International Monetary Systems, Ltd. was incorporated in 1989 under the laws
of the State of Wisconsin. The Company acquires, owns, manages and operates
trade exchanges and other related businesses.

   Trade exchanges, or barter networks, are financial service firms which permit
companies and individuals to exchange goods and services utilizing an electronic
currency known as "trade dollars", the use of which is described below.
Currently, IMS services more than 6,000 barter customers. We have continually
expanded our customer base, principally through enrolling new members in our
existing markets, acquiring other barter exchanges, and by encouraging our
members to increase their trade volume.

   Our corporate headquarters mailing address is 16901 West Glendale Drive,
P.O. Box 510305, New Berlin, Wisconsin 53151, and our telephone numbers are
(800) 559-8515 and (262) 780-3640; the telephone number for our primary
facsimile line is (262) 780-3655. Our Internet addresses are
www.internationalmonetary.com and www.ctebarter.com.

The Modern Barter Industry

   The modern barter industry took shape in its current form in 1969 with the
creation of the first retail barter exchange. Currently there are an estimated
250 barter system firms - including several with multiple licensees - operating
in the United States and Canada. These exchanges provide services that involve
an estimated 200,000 member companies.

   Retail trade exchanges range in size from those operated by a single person
from a small office to large firms operating out of multiple offices located
over a wide area. The 35 largest commercial exchange firms handle approximately
50% of the estimated $700 million in transactions that flow through the barter
system annually. Most trade exchanges are private companies that make extensive
use of computers to track their members, match transactions, and provide
necessary accounting.

   The National Association of Trade Exchanges and the International Reciprocal
Trade Association are the two professional associations most active in the
industry.

How Barter Works

   In a typical barter transaction, a member offers to sell products or
services in return for the exchange's trade dollars, typically referenced as
"T$", which are paid to the member by the purchaser in the transaction. For
example, T$100 refers to $100 worth of trade dollars that are used to acquire
a product or service priced at $100 in U.S. currency. If the purchase price is
greater than the amount of earned trade dollars in the buyer's account, the
exchange may grant a trade dollar line of credit to the buyer. Periodically,
each member has to account for any deficit in its trade account just as it
would with a conventional loan or other credit facility.

   As compensation for providing its services, the trade exchange generally
charges a one-time membership fee, monthly maintenance fees and/or a percentage
of the price of each transaction (usually 10% to 12%). These fees are typically
paid by the member to the trade exchange in cash.

   Barter transactions which represent sales revenue are taxable as ordinary
income to the recipient of the trade dollars in the conventional dollar amount
of the trade dollars received, and conversely are deductible as ordinary expense
by a purchaser in the conventional dollar amount of the trade dollars paid.
Members' barter sales are reportable by the trade exchange to the Internal
Revenue Service on Form 1099B.

Advantages and Disadvantages

   Barter offers a number of advantages to those who utilize it. A principle
advantage to trade exchange members is referred to as "barter leverage".
This refers to the fact that the typical barter exchange member is purchasing
a product or service in exchange for its own product or service. Consequently,
each purchase results in a probable sale. And since the actual cash cost of
producing the product or service is typically less than its retail sale price,
a person utilizing barter is actually purchasing for a real cash cost that is
only a fraction of the price of the product or service purchased. In effect,
the barter exchange member buys at wholesale, but sells its own goods or
services at retail. Frequently, the member will charge a higher price for barter
than for cash to cover the charges due to the trade exchange. However, the
benefit to the person bartering for the product or service is still significant
as a result of the purchase being accomplished through barter.

   For example, a trade exchange member may incur a $1,000 cash cost to produce
a product or to purchase it at wholesale. If the member then barters this
product for a good or service priced at $1,500, representing the retail price at
which it is normally sold, the member has effectively bought the good or service
for a cost of only $1,000 in cash. Barter leverage is particularly effective in
the case of products that have become hard to sell. Rather than write down their
value, the producer may be able to secure full value by bartering them through
the trade exchange. Barter leverage works most effectively when trading for
something that is perishable, such as hotel rooms or airline tickets. Once the
hotel room lies vacant or the airline seat is unfilled for a flight, its value
is lost forever. In those cases, exchange of the room or seat in barter offers


                                      4

<PAGE>   5

an effective way to gain value from something that would otherwise have been
rendered worthless. Due to barter leverage, the value of barter to exchange
members will more than likely offset the fees charged by the barter exchange.

   Barter also provides an effective means by which a member may enter new
markets, gain trial usage by potential customers, or increase market share. The
member may well find that he can reach a customer who would not otherwise have
tried his product or service if the full price had to be paid in cash, but who
will try his goods or services, sometimes in large amounts or on extended
terms, when the price is being paid in goods or services of the purchaser in
the form of trade dollars. Because of the need to clear trade dollars over
time, barter exchanges become affinity marketing networks, in which members
seek out opportunities to do business with one another.

   The principal disadvantage of barter is that, in comparison to the general
cash-based economy, a more limited supply of products and services is available.


International Monetary Systems, Ltd.

   International Monetary Systems, Ltd. (IMS) is a holding company that
currently has one operating subsidiary: Continental Trade Exchange, Ltd.,
the CTE barter system which operates in the United States.

The Continental Trade Exchange Barter Network

   As a leader in the barter industry, Continental Trade Exchange has created a
network of more than 6,000 businesses who regularly trade their goods and
services with each other. Through their participation in our barter program,
these companies are provided with an effective revenue management tool which
enables them to identify and capture incremental income, move surplus
inventories and profitably capitalize on their excess capacity. CTE functions
as a third-party record keeper - a status granted by the Internal Revenue
Service - and also manages the barter system.  In addition, we act as a
principal in certain transactions in which we acquire products, fine art, real
estate and other commodities that are either held as investments or sold at a
profit. This allows us to fulfill one of the Company's objectives which is
long-term equity building.

   To provide clients with a flexible and effective means of trading,
Continental Trade Exchange has created an alternative monetary system with its
own unique currency. Upon enrolling in the program, each member is assigned a
barter account (much like a traditional bank account) through which it receives
CTE trade dollars - the medium of exchange for the barter system. Under the
T.E.F.R.A. act of 1982, we are required to report all barter sales to the IRS.
For accounting and tax purposes, the IRS has ruled that trade dollars are
treated the same as cash. Accordingly, the Company may in any period report
significant revenue, profits and increases in net assets from transactions
denominated in CTE trade dollars or other non-cash consideration.

   The CTE barter system began operations in July of 1985 and has had a record
of consistent and steady growth. This growth has been generated both internally
and through the acquisition of other barter networks. As we have continued to
add new members to the system, we have witnessed a compounded annual growth rate
of approximately 15% per year for the past decade. During that same period, we
have also acquired ten independent trade exchange operations. We believe that
the barter industry, much like the banking industry, is ready for a period of
substantial consolidation and, therefore, we intend to continue acquiring
strategically located trade exchanges that we believe will enable us to achieve
and maintain a dominant market position. We believe that a dominant position
within a market gives us better visibility within that market, allows us to
offer a wider range of customer products and services for the benefit of our
clients, and ensures that we will achieve greater economies of scale.

   Two of those acquisitions were consummated during 2003.  In March 2003,
IMS acquired the membership list and assets of Barternet, an independent
barter network located in Brentwood, California. Barternet has been servicing
businesses and professional people in Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, Fresno
and the East Bay area near Oakland. In June of 2003, IMS acquired the membership
list of Trademasters of Louisville, Inc., an independent barter network located
in Kentucky. With the addition of these two client bases, the Continental Trade
Exchange barter network now boasts a membership roster totaling more than 6,000
businesses.


Other Related Businesses

   In addition to expanding our Continental Trade Exchange, we intend to
acquire other related businesses that synergize with and enhance the barter
network.

   In 2003 we discontinued the operations of JM Graphics and International
Corporate Services, our 4-color printing company. We also sold the assets of
our Canadian barter network office.


ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

   Our company's executive offices and principal operating facilities occupy
11,000 square feet of leased space located at 16901 West Glendale Drive, New
Berlin, Wisconsin, under a lease from Glendale Investments, LLC., a Wisconsin
limited liability company owned by Donald F. Mardak, Dale L. Mardak and
John E. Strabley, officers and directors of IMS. Rent and other terms of our
lease, which expires September 30, 2004, are believed by us to be comparable
to those available for similar space from unaffiliated, third-party lessors
in the same area. We also lease (1) 1,600 square feet of office space at 2300
Green Bay Road, North Chicago, Illinois, (2) 400 square feet of office space
at 1545 University Avenue, Green Bay, Wisconsin, (3) 1,700 square feet of
office space at 5350 Commerce Blvd., Rohnert Park, CA, (4) 200 square feet of
office space at 1008 4th Street, Sacramento, CA, (5) 4,200 square feet at
8938 Cotter Street, Lewis Center, Ohio, (6) 700 square feet of office space

                                        6

<PAGE>   7

at 8385 Brentwood Blvd, Brentwood, CA, and (7) 18,000 square feet of office
and warehouse space at W136 N5239 Campbell Court, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.
This last lease, which was for the International Corporate Services printing
company, expires on March 1st 2004. The leases on all other properties aside
from the New Berlin, Wisconsin facility are from unaffiliated parties and,
are each on a month-to-month basis or a short term lease of less than 3
years. Upon the expiration of our current leases, we expect that, in each
case, we will be able to obtain either a renewal lease, if desired, or a new
lease at an equivalent or better location.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

   There are no material pending legal proceedings involving IMS or any of its
properties.


ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

   No matter was submitted to a vote of our security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.


                                    PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR IMS COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

   In 2002 there was a limited trading market for our Common Stock. Our initial
public offering was concluded on December 31, 2001, and our Common Stock began
being quoted on the NASD's Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the
symbol INLM on June 25, 2002. Because of the weak stock market and other
factors, our stock had a relatively small amount of volume through December
31, 2002.

   The following table sets forth, for the fiscal quarters of 2003, the high
and low close price quotations for IMS common stock as reported on the OTCBB.
The quotations reflect inter-dealer quotations without retail markup, markdown
or commission, and may not represent actual transactions.

                                                     High          Low
                                                   --------      --------

   First Quarter                                   $    .35      $    .31
   Second Quarter                                  $    .60      $    .52
   Third Quarter                                   $    .47      $    .40
   Fourth Quarter                                  $    .35      $    .30


   As of December 31, 2003, the approximate number of holders of record of our
Common Stock was 260.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

   The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this report.

   Results of Operations

   Gross Revenue. Our consolidated gross revenues consist of income from the
Continental Trade Exchange division in the form of: (a) transaction fees on
all client barter sales; (b) monthly maintenance fees; (c) membership setup
fees; (d) proceeds from the sale of merchandise from our own inventory and of
dining or gift certificates, also known as "scrip"; and (e) other miscellaneous
revenue;  Clients are billed monthly for the fees in the CTE barter system, and
we have an excellent record of collections on our receivables.

   During the calendar year ending on December 31, 2003, CTE processed
$32,100,000 in barter transactions which generated revenues of $3,971,142.
International Monetary Systems, Ltd. had an additional $1,244 in miscellaneous
income for a grand total of $3,972,386. This compared to the year 2002 figures
of $24,250,000 in barter transactions that produced revenues of $2,792,784.
Total barter transactions for 2003 showed an increase of 32.3% over those for
year 2002. In the same comparable period, revenues increased by 42%.

   Most of the increased revenue was a result of the two acquisitions of the
trade exchanges in Brentwood, CA and Louisville, KY, plus a higher volume of
transactions in the barter network.

   Operating Expenses. For 2003, operating expenses increased by $1,257,532
or 49% over 2002.

   All additional operating expenses were a result of the acquisitions made
during 2003 along with higher-than-expected investor relations expenses for
promoting our stock. And though IMS now has more employees than it had in the
past, the personnel needed to operate the acquired offices has been reduced
from the number of employees that were there under previous management. The
result of these economies of scale was a substantially increased profit for
the year in the trade exchange. In Calendar 2003, the Continental Trade
Exchange operation had a net profit of $524,738 compared to a profit of
$414,215 in 2002, an increase of 27%. These profits were diluted somewhat by
investor relations and other expenses in the International Monetary Systems
holding company of $352,036. This left a pretax net income for ongoing
operations of $172,702. After deducting income tax expense, our net income
from continuing operations was $103,902.

   The loss from discontinued operations of $346,161 (net of tax benefit of
$192,000) was largely a result of the liquidation and one-time write off of
all the assets of the printing divisions.




                                        8


<PAGE>   9


   In 2003, payroll expenses increased by $693,699 or 47% over 2002. Occupancy
expenses increased from $195,187 in 2002 to $432,176 in 2003 or 121%. These
increases were primarily a result of the rents paid at the new Ohio and
Brentwood barter offices, along with the rents for the vacated printing
facility. (Note: As of March 1, 2004, our landlord has sold the printing
operation's building and those rents will cease at that time.) Selling and
other expenses decreased by $58,754 or 24%.

   General and administrative expenses increased by 50% from $547,214 in 2002
to $818,126 in 2003.

   Net Income. For the calendar year ending December 31, 2003, IMS had a loss
of $242,259 (because of the one-time write-off of the printing divisions)
compared to earnings of $27,968 for the same period in 2002.

   Effects of Acquisitions.  During fiscal 2003, we incurred additional
charges associated with the acquisition of Barternet of Brentwood, CA and
Trademasters of Louisville, KY. These charges, which resulted from the
integration of the operations of those firms into our business, were not
itemized separately. In the future, as we continue to acquire additional trade
exchanges or other businesses, we expect to incur additional, higher charges in
connection with the integration of those acquired operations.


Financial Condition

   Liquidity; Commitments for Capital Resources; and Sources of Funds

   Our principal source of liquidity from operations has been cash earnings from
membership charges, monthly service fees, transaction processing charges, and
profits from our own trading activities. We anticipate that our principal source
of liquidity during the next year will be cash from operations. We believe that
cash from operations alone will be adequate to provide for our liquidity needs
for the next year and on a continuing basis thereafter.

   We do not currently have any major capital commitments. However, we are in
the final stages of acquiring another barter exchange located in California.
The financing of this acquisition will be done with the seller. We also intend
to continue to seek opportunities to acquire other exchanges in the near future.

   Changes in Assets and Liabilities

   During 2003, our cash on hand increased from $22,667 at the end of year 2002
to $113,023 as of December 31, 2003. The increase in cash was due in part to
several private placements and other stock issuances in which we raised
$573,284.






                                       9

<PAGE>  10


   Our total current assets increased from $893,578 in 2002 to $1,215,397 in
2003. This represents an increase of 36%. Net property and equipment decreased
by $496,125 or 55% from 2002 to 2003,primarily because of the liquidation of
the printing division's equipment. From 2002 to 2003, our total assets increased
$631,075 or 18% from $3,492,032 at December 31, 2002 to $4,123,107 at December
31, 2003. Our current ratio improved from 1.3 to 1 in 2002 to 1.8 to 1 in 2003.

   Current liabilities decreased by $3,452 from 2002 to 2003. Long-term debt
increased by $42,797 during the same period. As a result, the debt to equity
ratio was reduced from 77% in 2002 to 61% in 2003.

   Common stock and paid in capital increased 41% from 2002 to 2003, from
$2,235,754 to $3,154,636, principally as a result of the acquisitions made
during 2003, along with funds raised in our private placements. Because of the
write-off of the printing division's assets, our retained earnings decreased
from 2002 to 2003, from $4,700 to a deficit of $237,559.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors,
executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered
class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in
ownership of our Common Stock and other IMS equity securities. Officers,
directors and beneficial owners of more than ten percent of such equity
securities are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all
Section 16(a) reports filed by them.

   Based solely upon review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and
written representations that no other reports were required, IMS believes that
there was compliance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 with all
Section 16(a) reports filed by them.


ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

   Summary Compensation Table. The following table provides information
concerning compensation earned by our Chief Executive Officer for services
rendered to us in all capacities during the fiscal years ended December 31,
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. We are required to disclose in the table
the compensation we paid to our Chief Executive Officer and to any other
executive officer of our company who was paid in excess of $100,000. These
persons are referred to in this report as "named executive officers". Because
no other executive officer of our company was paid more than $100,000 for any
of our last three fiscal years, only the compensation paid by us to our Chief
Executive Officer is included in the table,

stock, exercisable for five years commencing April 1, 2006 at $.30 per share,

   Option Exercises in 2003 and Aggregate Option Values at December 31, 2003.
No options were exercised by our chief Executive Officer, our only named

Employment Agreements

   As of October 19, 2000, we entered into employment agreements with Donald F.
Mardak, our president, and Dale L. Mardak and John E. Strabley, Jr., our vice
presidents, pursuant to which these employees will receive annual base salaries
of $120,000, $70,000 and $75,000, respectively, plus commissions and bonuses,
if any, to be determined by our chief executive officer at his discretion.
Current base salaries are $130,000, $86,000 and $94,000 respectively. On April
1, 2001, Danny W. Weibling, our Treasurer and chief Financial Officer also
entered into an employment agreement, pursuant to which he will receive an
annual base salary of $70,000 plus bonuses and increases for additional company
acquisitions. Current base salary is $90,000. Each such contract is for an
initial term of three years, commencing as of November 1, 2000 for Messrs.
Mardak, Mardak and Strabley and as of April 1, 2001 for Mr. Weibling. Each of
these contracts will be automatically extended for additional one-year periods
thereafter, unless terminated by either IMS or the employee. Each agreement
further provides that, for eighteen months after the termination thereof, the
employee will not, either directly or indirectly, compete with the businesses of
International Monetary Systems, Ltd. Each employee also agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of trade secrets and other information concerning IMS.

   Each of the agreements entitle them to receive stock options at the
discretion of Management. All agreements contain a change of control provision.
In the event of a merger, acquisition of IMS or sale of substantially all of its
assets, Donald Mardak's contract provides for compensation equal to two years'
salary plus a lump sum payment of $100,000, John Strabley's and Dale Mardak's
contracts provide for compensation equal to one year's salary plus a lump sum
payment of $75,000, and Danny Weibling's contract provides for compensation
equal to one year's salary.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

   Our bylaws provide for the elimination, to the fullest extent permissible
under Wisconsin law, of the liability of our directors to us for monetary
damages. This limitation of liability does not affect the availability of
equitable remedies such as injunctive relief. Our bylaws also provide that we
shall indemnify our directors and officers against certain liabilities that may
arise by reason of their status for service as directors or officers, other than
liabilities arising from certain specified misconduct. We are required to
advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them for
which they could be indemnified, including in circumstances in which
indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Wisconsin law. At the present
time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director,
officer, employee or other agent of our company in which indemnification would
be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or
proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.


ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

   The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of December 31, 2003, by:

   -  each person known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common
      stock;

   -  each of our directors and our sole named executive officer; and

   -  all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

   We believe that, subject to applicable community and marital property laws,
the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and
dispositive power with respect to such shares.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

   Certain Transactions

   We currently lease our executive offices and principal operating facilities,
consisting of 11,000 square feet of space located at 16901 West Glendale Drive,
New Berlin, Wisconsin, from Glendale Investments, LLC., a Wisconsin limited
liability company owned by Donald F. Mardak, Dale L. Mardak and John E.
Strabley, Jr., officers and directors of our company, under a triple net lease
which commenced in October, 2002 and expires September 30, 2004. For the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2002, we made rental payments of $91,000 and in the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, we made rental payments of $72,000 to
Glendale Investments, LLC. We believe that the rental payments required and
other terms of our lease are comparable to those available for similar space
from unaffiliated, third-party lessors in the area.

   Conflicts of Interest

   Certain potential conflicts of interest are inherent in the relationships
between our affiliates and us. From time to time, one or more of our affiliates
may form or hold an ownership interest in and/or manage other businesses both
related and unrelated to the type of business that we own and operate. These
persons expect to continue to form, hold an ownership interest in and/or manage
additional other businesses which may compete with ours with respect to
operations, including financing and marketing, management time and services and
potential customers. These activities may give rise to conflicts between or
among the interests of IMS and other businesses with which our affiliates are
associated. Our affiliates are in no way prohibited from undertaking such
activities, and neither we nor our shareholders will have any right to require
participation in such other activities.

   Further, because we intend to transact business with some of our officers,
directors and affiliates, as well as with firms in which some of our officers,
directors or affiliates have a material interest, including for example the
lease agreement described above under "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions - Certain Transactions", potential conflicts may arise between the
respective interests of IMS and these related persons or entities. We believe
that such transactions will be effected on terms at least as favorable to us as
those available from unrelated third parties.

   With respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of
interest, we have adopted policies and procedures which require that (1) the
fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be
disclosed or known to the directors who authorize or approve the transaction
prior to such authorization or approval, (2) the transaction be approved by a
majority of our disinterested outside directors and (3) the transaction be fair
and reasonable to IMS at the time it is authorized or approved by our directors.

ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

   (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. An evaluation was
performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial
Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days before the filing
date of this Form 10-KSB. Based on their evaluation, the Company's principal
executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c)
and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"))
are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the C
company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. (b) Changes in internal
controls. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
International Monetary Systems, Ltd.
New Berlin, Wisconsin


   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of International
Monetary Systems, Ltd., and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and
the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholder equity,
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly
the consolidated financial position of International Monetary Systems, Ltd.,
and subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

               United States.  Continental Trade Exchange of Canada, Ltd.
               (CTE-Canada) operates a barter trade exchange business primarily
               in Ontario, Canada.  JM Graphics, Inc. (JMG) operates a pre-press
               company in New Berlin, Wisconsin and International Corporate
               Services, Inc. (ICS) operates a printing company, doing business
               as Imagers Ink in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.  During 2003, the
               operations of CTE-Canada, JMG and ICS were discontinued.


          B.   ACQUISITIONS

               In April 2002, IMS purchased the assets of Imagers Ink, LLC, a
               four-color printing company.  The acquisition was made through
               a new IMS subsidiary, International Corporate Services, Inc.
               Assets acquired approximated liabilities assumed, plus 90,000
               shares of IMS stock, cash of $5,000, and trade dollars of
               $30,000. ICS's operations were discontinued in 2003.

               Also in April 2002, IMS purchased the client list of a Chicago
               based trade exchange for $51,700 (cash of $5,700 and trade
               dollars of $46,000).

               On September 1, 2002, IMS acquired all the outstanding stock of
               Tradecard, Inc., an Ohio corporation, in exchange for 1,050,000
               shares of IMS stock valued at $1,050,000.  Tradecard, Inc.
               operated a barter exchange in Ohio with approximately 1,200
               active accounts. IMS guaranteed that Tradecard shareholders
               would receive a minimum of $800,000 cash and $250,000 trade
               dollars.

               To facilitate this guarantee, IMS agreed to deposit $20,000 per
               month into an escrow account for the first thirty-five months
               following closing.  If during the thirty-six months following
               closing, the sellers shall have received a total of $1,050,000
               through a combination of deposits to the escrow account and sale
               of any of their stock, the agreement for deposits will end.
               During this thirty-six month period, sellers have the right to
               sell back at a price of $1.00 per share, 20,000 shares per month
               for the first thirty-five months, starting in September 2002,
               which right shall be cumulative.  If sellers are unable to sell
               any shares into the market for at least $1.00 per share, IMS will
               be obligated to pay the guarantee of $800,000 cash and $250,000
               trade dollars.

               If at the end of the thirty-six month period sellers have sold
               all of their shares either into the public market or to IMS, all
               funds remaining in the escrow account and sellers trade accounts,
               less accumulated interest, shall be the property of IMS.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 -  INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
               ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

               A portion of the purchase price has been allocated to assets
               acquired (including $600,000 for membership lists) and
               liabilities assumed (including a negative trade dollar balance
               of $304,756) based on estimated fair market value at the date
               of acquisition, while the balance was recorded as goodwill in
               the amount of $492,540.

               In March 2003, CTEL purchased the assets of BarterNet; a barter
               trade exchange located in Brentwood, California for $720,000
               payable $22,000 in cash, $370,400 in notes, and $327,600 in
               stock. The acquisition included $545,000 for membership lists.

               In June 2003, CTEL purchased the assets of TradeMaster; a barter
               trade exchange located in Louisville, Kentucky for $40,000
               payable $2,000 in cash, $20,000 in trade, and $18,000 in stock.
               The acquisition included $31,000 for membership lists.


          C.   RESTRICTED CASH

               The cash balance in the escrow account related to the purchase
               of Tradecard, Inc. discussed above is shown as restricted cash
               included in other assets.


          D.   OPERATIONS OF BARTER EXCHANGES

               Barter exchanges not only operate with traditional cash currency,
               but they can also issue trade credits, which constitute their own
               unique currency. Trade exchanges permit members/clients to barter
               their goods and services with other clients in several ways. Some
               sell their products to the barter network directly, others issue
               trade certificates that are redeemable for their goods or
               services, and the balance transact their barter business through
               electronic data transmission as authorizations are provided
               through a twenty-four hour authorization system. In return, the
               selling clients receive trade credits from the exchange, which
               may be used to purchase services or products from other members
               in the exchange.

NOTE 1 -  INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
               ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

          E.   REVENUE SOURCES

               The company and its subsidiaries earn revenues in both
               traditional dollars (cash income) and in trade dollars.  Cash
               income is earned through membership set-up fees assessed when a
               member joins, through service fees generated when clients spend
               and/or generate their trade dollars to purchase and/or sell
               goods and services through the exchange to/from other members,
               through monthly maintenance fees, and through sales for cash of
               products originally purchased by IMS with its own trade dollars.

               Trade profits are generated in various ways.  Monthly maintenance
               fees are assessed in trade dollars as well as in cash.
               Transaction fees are assessed in trade dollars rather than cash
               for clients in certain industries such as radio and TV stations.
               Occasionally the company will accept a favorable trade ratio in
               lieu of a cash service fee. The company also has an opportunity
               to create additional trade profits by purchasing wholesale,
               closeout, and liquidation merchandise for cash, and the
               liquidating of such products through the trade program.

               Earned trade dollars are used by the company to purchase various
               goods and services required in its operations.  All barter
               transactions are reported at the estimated fair value of the
               products or services received.

          F.   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

               The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
               company and its subsidiaries.  Significant intercompany accounts
               and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

          G.   USE OF ESTIMATES

               The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
               generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
               make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
               in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual
               results could differ from those estimates.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 -  INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
               ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

          H.   RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS

               Accounts receivable are stated at face value, net of the
               allowance for bad debts.  Finance charges on receivables are
               calculated using the simple interest method on daily balances of
               the principal amount outstanding.

               The allowance for bad debts is maintained at a level that is
               management's best estimate of probable bad debts incurred as of
               the balance sheet date.  Management's determination of the
               adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the
               receivables, past collection experience, current economic
               conditions, volume, growth and composition of the receivables,
               and other relevant factors.  The allowance is increased by
               provisions for bad debts charged against income.

          I.   INVENTORY

               Inventory consists primarily of fine art and other merchandise
               which the company intends to sell.  Inventory is carried at the
               lower of actual cost of acquisition or fair value.

          J.   EARNED TRADE ACCOUNT

               As part of the operations of the subsidiaries, trade dollars are
               earned which can be and are used to purchase goods and services.
               This account is increased principally for service, membership and
               transaction fees, and is decreased by the company's purchase of
               goods and services for trade dollars.  An impairment loss is
               recognized if it becomes apparent that the fair value of the
               trade dollars in the account is less than the carrying amount or
               if it is probable that the company will not use all of its trade
               dollars.

          K.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

               Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
               depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using accelerated methods
               over the estimated useful lives of five to thirty-nine years.

NOTE 1 -  INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
               ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

          L.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL, AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

               Goodwill and membership lists are stated at cost and were
               incurred when the additional exchanges were purchased.
               Membership lists are being amortized over their estimated
               life of fifteen years.

               During 2002, the company adopted Statement of Financial
               Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
               Intangibles," which requires that goodwill and intangible assets
               with indefinite lives no longer be amortized but, instead, be
               tested annually for impairment.  There was no impairment of
               goodwill in 2003 or 2002. Prior to 2002 goodwill was being
               amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

          M.   INCOME TAXES

               Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
               reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes
               currently due plus deferred taxes related to differences between
               the financial and income tax basis of assets and liabilities, and
               to the tax benefit of net operating loss carryovers.

               The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax
               return consequences of those differences, which will either be
               taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are
               recovered or settled.

          N.   CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

               The company grants credit to its customers, substantially all of
               whom are members of the Continental Trade Exchange barter network
               located in eastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, California,
               and Ohio. The company routinely assesses the financial strength
               of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade
               accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

          O.   ADVERTISING

               Advertising costs, which are principally included in selling
               expenses, are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expense was
               $71,422 and $70,160 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and
               2002, respectively.

          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123),
          "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" establishes financial
          accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee
          compensation plans.

          SFAS 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for employee
          stock option or similar equity instruments.  Under the fair value
          based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on
          the fair value of the award using an option-pricing model that takes
          into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price,
          the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying
          stock, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate over the
          expected life of the option.  The resulting compensation cost is
          recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting
          period.

          Compensation cost can also be measured and accounted for using the
          intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed in Accounting
          Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued
          to Employees."  Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation
          cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at
          grant date or other measurement date over the amount paid to acquire
          the stock.  Under APB 25, no compensation cost is recognized for the
          stock option plan because the exercise price is at least equal to the
          quoted market price at the date of grant and therefore there is no
          intrinsic value.

          As permitted by SAFS 123, the company continues to measure
          compensation cost for the stock option plan using the accounting
          method prescribed by APB 25.  Compensation cost based on SFAS 123 is
          not estimable.  Accordingly, proforma net income and earnings per
          share data based on SFAS 123 is not presented.

NOTE 12 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

          Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares
          outstanding for the year, restated for the six-for-one stock split on
          January 2, 2002.  Weighted average shares outstanding were 16,863,074
          and 15,141,659 for 2003 and 2002, respectively.  Common stock option
          shares have not been included due to their antidilutive effect.


NOTE 13 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

          The company had two business segments for which discrete financial
          information was available:  the barter trade exchange business and
          the printing business, until the printing business was discontinued
          in early 2003.

          The barter trade exchange business is operated in the United States
          by Continental Trade Exchange, Ltd. and was in Canada by Continental
          Trade Exchange of Canada, Ltd until that location was discontinued in
          2003.  The Canadian operation is aggregated with the United States
          business because it is significantly less than 10 percent of company
          revenue, profit, and assets.  Barter trade exchanges permit members
          to barter their goods and services with other members in a variety
          of different ways.

          The printing business was operated in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area
          by JM Graphics, Inc., which operated a pre-press company and by
          International Corporate Services, Inc., which operated a four-color
          printing company, until operations were discontinued in 2003.
