CreditRiskMonitor Announces 2Q Results


VALLEY COTTAGE, NY--(Marketwired - Aug 14, 2017) - CreditRiskMonitor (OTCQX: CRMZ) reported that revenues increased 5% for both the 3 and 6 months ended June 30, 2017, to $3.34 million and $6.58 million, respectively. Net loss in the periods was approximately ($83,700) and ($328,000), respectively, compared to net losses of ($20,700) and ($111,000) for the comparable 2016 periods. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the six-month period decreased approximately $23,800 to $9.20 million from the 2016 year-end balance of $9.22 million.

Jerry Flum, CEO said, "Our operating results reflect the negative impact on earnings of our continuing investment in our marketing infrastructure and programs as this effort was slowed by employee turnover in late 2016 and early 2017. We expect to see traction for these efforts in 2018. We remain debt free and will continue to invest in these marketing programs, as well as enhancements to our product offering."
