FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CreditRiskMonitor Revenues Up 28%VALLEY COTTAGE, NY-April 30, 2009-CreditRiskMonitor (Symbol: CRMZ) reported revenues of $1.74 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.37 million for the first quarter of 2008. Cash and marketable securities of $4.28 million at the end of the quarter increased $400,000 from the 2008 year-end balance. Jerry Flum, CEO, said, "Client retention and satisfaction are stronger than ever, as worries driven by the recession have driven usage of our service to new highs. New business bookings for the first quarter actually grew at a much quicker rate than overall revenue since we take bookings into revenue spread over the term of the subscription. Our operating income for the quarter was negatively impacted by a change in our commission rates on new sales that was implemented at the beginning of the second quarter of 2008, coupled with the Company's very conservative approach of recognizing the full commission expense when paid."
