CreditRiskMonitor 2015 Operating Results

VALLEY COTTAGE, NY—March 21, 2016—CreditRiskMonitor (OTCQX: CRMZ) reported that revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased 2% to $12.49 million compared to fiscal 2014. Net income for fiscal 2015 was approximately $493,200 compared to $370,600 in the prior year. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of 2015 increased to $8.96 million from the 2014 year-end balance of $8.89 million.

Jerry Flum, CEO, said, “Reported earnings for 2015 is the highest since 2012. In 2015 we began investing in new marketing programs and are continuing to do so in 2016. We believe these programs should start positively impacting operating results in late 2016 and 2017. At the same time, we continue to be debt-free and our strong balance sheet provides us with financial flexibility to manage for the long-term.”
