FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CreditRiskMonitor Reports 2010 Operating Results

VALLEY COTTAGE, NY—February 23, 2011—CreditRiskMonitor (Symbol: CRMZ) announced that for the year ended December 31, 2010 revenues increased 19% to $9.34 million and income from operations was $1.68 million versus $813,000 last year.

Jerry Flum, CEO, said, “We had strong cash flow, resulting in a record year-end cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities balance of $6.85 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $4.68 million at December 31, 2009, and we continue to operate the Company without debt. However, we were unable to maintain the pace of revenue growth that we achieved during the credit crisis years of 2008/9. Year-over-year net income and net income per share declined, due to the Company’s nonrecurring reversal of its tax valuation allowance during the fourth quarter of 2009.” The tax expense recorded in 2010 does not result in any cash liability because of the availability of unexpired net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards. This expense reduces the recorded deferred tax asset and at December 31, 2010, the Company had NOL carryforwards aggregating approximately $2.1 million, expiring in varying amounts over the next sixteen (16) years.

** Denotes non-GAAP financial measure. Because of the Company’s reversal of its valuation allowance during the fourth quarter of 2009, as the Company had sufficient evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration, the calculation of the Company’s benefit (provision) for income taxes is not comparable between years. Accordingly, we feel that reporting pre-tax earnings per share is a better measure in this instance even though this is a non-GAAP financial measure.
