CreditRiskMonitor Announces Continued Victory In Court Case

VALLEY COTTAGE, NY-January 13, 2005-The Supreme Court of the State of New York, Nassau County ruled in favor of CreditRiskMonitor.com, Inc. (Symbol: CRMZ) and denied two separate Motions to Reargue filed by Samuel Fensterstock and Global Credit Services, Inc. (collectively the "Defendants") in the previously reported Contempt Proceedings. On August 9, 2004, the Court issued a Decision finding that the Defendants were in contempt of court for the breach of a so-ordered Settlement Agreement and awarded compensatory and punitive damages against the Defendants aggregating $821,044, plus attorneys' fees and legal costs in an amount to be determined. Thereafter, the Court assigned a Referee to conduct a hearing concerning the amount of attorneys' fees and costs to be awarded. CRM will request an award of attorneys' fees and costs in excess of one million dollars. The Defendants have filed a Notice of Appeal to the Decision, which remains pending, and posted a $900,000 bond to secure the compensatory and punitive damages awarded in the Judgment.

These rulings confirm the Court's findings, after ten weeks of hearings and extensive discovery, of the egregious violation of the Settlement Agreement by Fensterstock and Global, in which the Court previously stated that:

"America's capitalistic system has prospered by strong competition but the manner in which Global acted in this case was not ethical, even in the cutthroat world of business, and in turn they willfully and with reckless indifference violated the Order of the Court." (emphasis added)
