FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CreditRiskMonitor Announces 2012 Operating Results

VALLEY COTTAGE, NY—March 14, 2013—CreditRiskMonitor (OTCQX: CRMZ) reported that for the year ended December 31, 2012 revenues increased 9% to $11.06 million compared to fiscal 2011, while income from operations was $0.97 million versus $1.21 million in the prior year. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of 2012 decreased $0.14 million, after the payment of a cash dividend of $1.59 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, to $8.15 million from the 2011 year-end balance of $8.28 million.

Jerry Flum, CEO, said, “Our profits are down despite growing sales as the Company continues to invest in an enhanced infrastructure and additional content, which is in addition to strengthening our sales and customer service staffs. These strategic investments adversely impact our short-term results, but we strongly believe they will enhance our long-term prospects. We continue to be debt-free and our strong balance sheet provides us with financial flexibility to manage our company to achieve our long-term goals.”
