Integrated Management Information, Inc. (IMI Global) (OTCBB: INMG), a

leading provider of verification and Internet solutions for the

agricultural/livestock industry, today announced it transitioned to

profitability in the second quarter on the strength of strong revenue

growth and a stable expense base.

“We are very pleased to report our first profitable quarter as a public

company,” said John Saunders, president and CEO. “Employees at all levels

of our organization have worked very hard to create a culture of profitable

growth, and our second quarter performance validates our strategy of

focusing on driving consistent top-line growth while maintaining a lean

operating environment. As always, our USVerified™ verification and

identification solutions led the way, both in terms of revenue growth and

profit contribution. With our new long-term strategic marketing agreement

with Vance Publishing, we are now more focused than ever on expanding our

USVerified and Born & Raised in the USA® offerings and increasing our

marketing efforts to support continued growth.”

The Company reported net income of $42,700, or less than one cent per basic

and diluted share, in the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared with

a net loss of $209,600, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, in the same

quarter last year. It was IMI Global’s first profitable quarter as a

public company — the result of significantly higher revenue combined with

a stable cost structure.

Revenue in the second quarter increased 53% to $808,200 from $530,000 in

the second quarter a year ago. Demand for the Company’s USVerified

solutions remained strong in the period, resulting in a 84% increase in

revenue in that category — to $611,500, or 76% of total revenue, from

$333,000 in the second quarter last year. The Company continued to add new

customers for its third party food verification services during the second

quarter and believes prospects for continued growth are good in light of

the reopening of key export markets, the impending deadline for Country of

Origin Labeling (COOL) in September of 2008, and growing consumer sentiment

to better understand where food comes from.

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter the Company entered into a

long-term marketing and support agreement with Vance Publishing in which

IMI Global sold three of its online assets — CattleNetwork.com,

CattleStore.com and AgNetwork. Vance Publishing is a leader in

agriculture-related magazine publications, web offerings and newsletters,

including Drover’s, Pork, Bovine Veterinarian, and Dairy Herd Management.

While the now-divested online businesses contributed approximately

$197,000, or 24% of total revenue in the second quarter, these assets are

much better utilized by Vance and their divestiture will allow IMI Global

to sharpen its focus on its core solutions and a lean operating

environment. Additionally, the transaction enables IMI Global to

significantly strengthen its balance sheet, improve its working capital

balance, and collaborate with the industry leader, Vance Publishing, on an

aggressive advertising and promotion program in support of IMI Global’s

USVerified and Born & Raised in the USA® solution offerings. The Born &

Raised in the USA labeling solution, marketed exclusively by IMI Global,

gives retailers a proven, streamlined third-party verification program to

comply with the country of origin labeling (COOL) mandate under the 2002

Farm Bill, set to go into effect in the Fall of 2008.

Saunders added, “This new partnership has been structured to leverage the

respective strengths of Vance Publishing and IMI Global, and we are very

excited about our prospects for success. In addition to more effectively

delivering the IMI Global message to a broader potential customer base in

our traditional livestock markets, we have enhanced our ability to reach

out to new food sectors, including fruits and vegetables, where Vance also

has a strong presence. We couldn’t be more excited about the future.”

The Company’s strong second quarter performance contributed to a $518,000

positive swing on the bottom line through six months. Net loss for the

year-to-date period was just $18,000, or less than one cent per basic and

diluted share, compared with a net loss of $500,200, or $0.03 per basic and

diluted share, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.

Revenue through six months increased 53% to $1,533,300 from $1,001,300 in

the same period a year ago. Again, the key driver was the Company’s

fast-growing verification solutions offerings.
