International Marketing & Sales Group PLC

• Share buy-back

The Directors of International Marketing & Sales Group Plc ('IMSG'), the
emerging markets focused sales and marketing company, consider that IMSG shares
are currently trading at an undervalued level, particularly in view of the
Directors confidence for the Group's second half trading performance. The
Directors therefore announce their intention to seek a general authority from
shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting ('EGM') to be held on 30
October 2006 to buy-back IMSG shares.

IMSG intends to purchase shares representing up to 5 per cent of the Group's
current issued share capital. These shares will be held in treasury for use in
connection with future acquisitions and an employee share scheme which IMSG
intends to put in place later this year.

Any share purchases will be effected within certain pre-set parameters, and, in
accordance with the proposed general authority of shareholders, the maximum
price paid shall be limited to no more than 5 per cent above the average middle
market closing price of IMSG shares for the 5 business days preceding the date
of purchase. The buy-back will not be limited to definitive blocks of shares
nor to a fixed period of time.

IMSG confirms that it currently has no inside information.

[scottie01] 05/10/2006 07:54

just bought some had to pay 114p,looks good mid term;-)

[siwel100] 05/10/2006 07:29

Very nice RNS. First stop 160p. Seems the full year is going to be better than expected. Nice to have the share buy backs to support this illiquid stock. 5% is a lot of underpinning.

quantitative consumer research. Acquired a 70% stake for a total
consideration of US$1.4 million in March.

* Notable client wins during the period include Xerox, Baltika brewery,
Tesco and BAT in Hungary, Microsoft and American Express.

* During the period IMSG has strengthened its management team and a
structure has been put in place capable of managing a much larger group
which will increasingly benefit operational gearing going forward as the
Group continues its expansion.

CHAIRMAN STATEMENT

Commenting on the results, Greg Thain, Chairman of the Group said:

"During the first half of the year the focus was on expanding the Group's
infrastructure and management team to support a business turning over in excess
of US$100 million across six countries, which we expect to grow significantly
during in 2007. This expansion resulted in higher than anticipated operational
costs, which was compounded by problems in Russia due to the introduction of new legislation. Therefore the results in the first half of the year, traditionally
the slower period, were disappointing. However, we now have a strong management team in place capable of supporting a significantly expanded group, growth is still strong at 66% and five acquisitions have been successfully completed.

"Trading in the second half is much stronger and the Board believes there will
be a satisfactory outcome at the full year. This is demonstrated by the fact
that 86% of Group turnover for the second half of 2006 is either booked or in
the form of firm orders.

"We continue to negotiate further acquisitions, in the emerging markets,
together with exploring synergies across the existing and new businesses."

Good luck, hamida, and I hope you're right. Trouble is, the directors have not proved very reliable sources of information in the past (although you would have done well to have followed their share sales).
