CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of CreditRiskMonitor.com, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosure required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all material adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, and have been prepared in a manner consistent with the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full fiscal year.

The December 31, 2009 balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”). This standard is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and do not believe there are any material subsequent events which would require further disclosure.

(2) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company applies ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) to account for stock-based compensation.
 
The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense for stock options that was recorded in the Company’s results of operations in accordance with ASC 718 for the three and six months ended June 30:

    $ 12,797     $ 13,474     $ 25,680     $ 26,949  

(3) Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC had issued certain accounting pronouncements as of June 30, 2010 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those pronouncements would have significantly affected our financial accounting measurements or disclosures had they been in effect during the interim periods for which financial statements are included in this quarterly report. Management also believes those pronouncements will not have a significant effect on our future financial position or results of operations.

(4) Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial instruments that are accounted for under ASC 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities” at fair value. The determination of fair value is based upon the fair value framework established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows: (a) Level 1 – valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; (b) Level 2 – valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable; either directly or indirectly; and (c) Level 3 – valuations based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable; thus, reflecting assumptions about the market participants.

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are stated at fair value. The carrying value of accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximates fair market value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

The Company’s cash equivalents and short term investments are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. These instruments include U.S. government and money market securities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

The continuing uncertainty in the worldwide financial system has negatively impacted general business conditions. It is possible that a weakening economy could adversely affect our clients’ need for credit information, or even their solvency, but we cannot predict whether or to what extent this will occur.

Our strategic priorities and plans for 2010 are to continue to build on the improvement initiatives underway to achieve sustainable, profitable growth. Global market conditions, however, may affect the level and timing of resources deployed in pursuit of these initiatives in 2010.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table presents selected financial information and statistics as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (dollars in thousands):

   
June 30,
   
December 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
  $ 6,043     $ 4,679  
Accounts receivable, net
  $ 1,230     $ 1,371  
Working capital
  $ 943     $ 241  
Cash ratio
    0.94       0.77  
Quick ratio
    1.13       1.00  
Current ratio
    1.15       1.04  

The Company has invested some of its excess cash in debt instruments of the United States Government. All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents, while those with maturities in excess of three months when purchased are reflected as marketable securities.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $6.04 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, an increase of $1.36 million from December 31, 2009. The principal component of this net increase for the last six months was the cash generated by operating activities of $1.40 million.

The Company’s cash generated by operating activities significantly exceeded its net income due primarily to the increase in deferred revenue. Additionally, the main component of current liabilities at June 30, 2010 is deferred revenue of $5.90 million, which should not require significant future cash outlay other than the cost of preparation and delivery of the applicable commercial credit reports which cost much less than the deferred revenue shown. The deferred revenue is recognized as income over the subscription term, which approximates twelve months. The Company has no bank lines of credit or other currently available credit sources.

The Company believes that its existing balances of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. Moreover, the Company has been cash flow positive for the last 5 fiscal years and has no long-term debt. However, the Company’s liquidity could be negatively affected if it were to make an acquisition or license products or technologies, which may necessitate the need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing. Additional financing may not be available at all or on terms favorable to the Company.

Operating revenues increased $382,436, or 20%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This overall revenue growth resulted from a $393,550, or 21%, increase in Internet subscription service revenue, attributable to increased sales to existing subscribers, offset partially by an $11,114, or 16%, decrease in the Company’s third-party international credit report subscription service, attributable to less usage by existing subscribers together with a decrease in the number of subscribers to that service.

Data and product costs increased $8,218, or 1%, for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. This increase was primarily due to higher salary and related employee benefits, including the additional quality control personnel, partially offset by lower third-party content, due to the decision not to renew a contract, as well as lower consulting fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $42,482, or 3%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. This increase was primarily due to higher professional and recruiting fees, partially offset by lower marketing expenses.

Depreciation and amortization increased $6,211, or 25%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. This increase is due to a higher depreciable asset base reflecting the replacement of computer equipment that had been in operation past its depreciable life.

Other income, net increased $26,070 for second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period last year. This increase was due to a positive mark-to-market adjustment recorded in 2010 versus a corresponding loss recorded in the comparable period last year.

 
10

 
Provision for income taxes increased $146,381 due to the Company’s reversal of its valuation allowance during the fourth quarter of 2009, as it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2009, any provision/benefit for income taxes was offset by a corresponding change in the valuation allowance. The current period’s provision does not result in any cash liability because of the availability of unexpired net operating loss carryforwards, thus the provision reduces the recorded deferred tax asset until unexpired NOL’s are fully utilized.

Operating revenues increased $851,012, or 23%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2009. This overall revenue growth resulted from a $859,454, or 24%, increase in Internet subscription service revenue, including $140,993 attributable to an increase in the number of subscribers and $718,461 attributable to increased sales to existing subscribers, offset partially by an $8,442, or 6%, decrease in the Company’s third-party international credit report subscription service, attributable to less usage by existing subscribers together with a decrease in the number of subscribers to that service. 

Data and product costs increased $105,543, or 10%, for the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. This increase was primarily due to higher salary and related employee benefits, including the additional quality control personnel, and the higher cost of third-party content due to the addition of new sources, partially offset by lower consulting fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $81,739, or 3%, for the first six months of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. This increase was primarily due to higher professional and recruiting fees.

Depreciation and amortization increased $10,263, or 21%, for the first six months of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. This increase is due to a higher depreciable asset base reflecting the replacement of computer equipment that had been in operation past its depreciable life.

Other income, net increased $4,248 for first six months of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period last year. This increase was due to a positive mark-to-market adjustment recorded in 2010 versus a corresponding loss recorded in the comparable period last year, partially offset by lower dividends received in 2010 compared to 2009.

Provision for income taxes increased $274,249 due to the Company’s reversal of its valuation allowance during the fourth quarter of 2009, as it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2009, any provision/benefit for income taxes was offset by a corresponding change in the valuation allowance. The current period’s provision does not result in any cash liability because of the availability of unexpired net operating loss carryforwards, thus the provision reduces the recorded deferred tax asset until unexpired NOL’s are fully utilized.   

FUTURE OPERATIONS

The Company over time intends to expand its operations by expanding the breadth and depth of its product and service offerings and introducing new and complementary products. Gross margins attributable to new business areas may be lower than those associated with the Company’s existing business activities.

As a result of the evolving nature of the markets in which it competes, the Company’s ability to accurately forecast its revenues, gross profits and operating expenses as a percentage of net sales is limited. The Company’s current and future expense levels are based largely on its investment plans and estimates of future revenues. To a large extent these costs do not vary with revenue. Sales and operating results generally depend on the Company’s ability to attract and retain customers and the volume of and timing of customer subscriptions for the Company’s services, which are difficult to forecast. The Company may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to the Company’s planned expenditures would have an immediate adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, the Company may from time to time make certain pricing, service, marketing or acquisition decisions that could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Achieving greater profitability depends on the Company’s ability to generate and sustain increased revenue levels. The Company believes that its success will depend in large part on its ability to (i) increase its brand awareness, (ii) provide its customers with outstanding value, thus encouraging customer renewals, and (iii) achieve sufficient sales volume to realize economies of scale. Accordingly, the Company intends to continue to increase the size of its sales force, invest in product development, operating infrastructure, marketing and promotion. The Company believes that these expenditures will help it to sustain the revenue growth it has experienced over the last several years. We anticipate that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenues during the remainder of 2010 and future periods as the Company continues to expand its business on a worldwide basis. Further, the Company expects that product development expenses will also continue to increase in dollar amount and may increase as a percentage of revenues during the remainder of 2010 and future periods because it expects to employ more development personnel on average compared to prior periods and build the infrastructure required to support the development of new and improved products and services. However, as these expenditures are discretionary in nature, the Company expects that the actual amounts incurred will be in line with its projections of future cash flows in order not to negatively impact its future liquidity and capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives within a meaningful time frame.

The Company expects to experience significant fluctuations in its future quarterly operating results due to a variety of factors, some of which are outside the Company’s control. Factors that may adversely affect the Company’s quarterly operating results include, among others, (i) the Company’s ability to retain existing customers, attract new customers at a steady rate and maintain customer satisfaction, (ii) the Company’s ability to maintain gross margins in its existing business and in future product lines and markets, (iii) the development of new services and products by the Company and its competitors, (iv) price competition, (v) the level of use of the Internet and online services and increasing acceptance of the Internet and other online services for the purchase of products such as those offered by the Company, (vi) the Company’s ability to upgrade and develop its systems and infrastructure, (vii) the Company’s ability to attract new personnel in a timely and effective manner, (viii) the level of traffic on the Company’s website, (ix) the Company’s ability to manage effectively its development of new business segments and markets, (x) the Company’s ability to successfully manage the integration of operations and technology of acquisitions or other business combinations, (xi) technical difficulties, system downtime or Internet brownouts, (xii) the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of the Company’s business, operations and infrastructure, (xiii) governmental regulation and taxation policies, (xiv) disruptions in service by common carriers due to strikes or otherwise, (xv) risks of fire or other casualty, (xvi) litigation costs or other unanticipated expenses, (xvii) interest rate risks and inflationary pressures, and (xviii) general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the Internet and online commerce.

Due to the foregoing factors, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as an indication of future performance.
