FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CreditRiskMonitor's Revenue Grows 37% for Second Quarter of 2009VALLEY COTTAGE, NY-August 6, 2009-CreditRiskMonitor (OTCBB: CRMZ) reported that revenues increased 37% and 32% to $1.92 million and $3.67 million for the 3 and 6 months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the six-month period increased $870,000 from the 2008 year-end balance to a total of $4.74 million. Jerry Flum, CEO said, "Our revenue during the economic turbulence of the 1st half of 2009 confirms that the demand for corporate credit analysis and monitoring has a counter-cyclical component. "Because we expense the entire sales commission when we are paid for a subscription, and recognize the revenue ratably over the entire subscription period, the current high revenue growth creates a timing mis-match that negatively affects our operating profit. Additional ways to evaluate our performance include looking at the cash return on net worth or the cash return on tangible net worth, as shown in the table below. We are generating significant cash returns, and continue to have no debt on our balance sheet." 6 Months Ended June 30, 2009 2008 ---------- ---------- Net increase in cash, cash equivalents & marketable securities $ 869,996 $ 263,349 Net worth at beginning of period $2,389,514 $1,958,777 Return on net worth 36% 13% Tangible net worth at beginning of period $ 435,054 $ 4,317 Return on tangible net worth 200% --N/M-- CREDITRISKMONITOR.COM, INC.
