FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CreditRiskMonitor Reports 2011 Operating Results
VALLEY COTTAGE, NY—February 23, 2012—CreditRiskMonitor (Symbol: CRMZ) announced that for the year ended December 31, 2011 revenues increased 9% to $10.15 million compared to fiscal 2010, while income from operations was $1.21 million versus $1.68 million last year. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of 2011 increased $1.44 million, after the payment of a cash dividend of $396,000 in the third quarter of 2011, to $8.28 million from the 2010 year-end balance of $6.85 million.
Jerry Flum, CEO, said, “Due to the Company’s continuing investment in sales and service staff, new data for subscribers and enhanced infrastructure, our profit was reduced despite the higher sales we achieved in 2011 over 2010. We continue to strongly believe that these expenditures will enhance our long-term prospects and we will be rewarded by this current investment. We remain debt-free and our strong balance sheet provides us with financial flexibility should investment opportunities present themselves.”
