NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CreditRiskMonitor 2020 Operating Results

VALLEY COTTAGE, NY—April 5, 2021—CreditRiskMonitor (OTCQX: CRMZ) reported that revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased to $15.7 million up 8% from $14.5 million in 2019. The Company reported a pre-tax loss of approximately $211,000 for 2020 compared to pre-tax income of approximately $343,000 in the prior year. Net loss for 2020 was approximately $47,000 compared to net income of approximately $218,000 in the prior year.

Jerry Flum, CEO, said, “While our revenue is growing at 8%, our net income has not matched that pace since the Company retained, and even increased, its payroll levels and employees throughout the year.  We have stayed committed to investing in improving the value proposition of our service and expanding our staff to ensure that we meet our customers’ financial risk analysis needs during these uncertain times.  We are looking to introduce a new platform in the near future as well as important additions to our private company coverage.  The significant costs to develop these two initiatives have and will continue to be borne by our company before we begin booking revenue; however, we believe these investments will, over time, produce meaningful returns.”
