NEW BERLIN, Wis.--April 22, 2003-- International Monetary Systems, Ltd., a worldwide leader in corporate and consumer barter services, today reported the sale of a majority interest in its printing and prepress subsidiaries to Colorcraft Graphics, Inc. of Menomonee Falls, Wis. The company said divestiture of the printing divisions, which had a combined loss in excess of $200,000 last year, should have a positive impact on International Monetary Systems' future earnings. Don Mardak, President and CEO of the barter company, stated: "We are pleased to have this opportunity to turn over the management of the printing divisions to a group of veterans in that field. This, in turn, will free up our management team to devote its time to our core barter business which is growing in profitability."
