NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Overview and Basis of Presentation

CreditRiskMonitor.com, Inc. (the “Company”) provides interactive business-to-business SaaS subscription products designed specifically for credit and supply chain managers. These products are sold predominantly to corporations located in the United States.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures 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 condensed 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, 2023.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for an entire fiscal year.

The December 31, 2023 condensed balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides for improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and the adoption of this standard is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than adding new disclosures, which the Company is currently evaluating.

(3) Revenue Recognition

The Company applies FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers (“ASC 606”), to recognize revenue. ASC 606 requires an entity to apply the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify each performance obligation in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation; and (5) recognize revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s primary source of revenue is subscription income which is recognized ratably over the subscription term.

8

(4) 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:

	3 Months Ended June 30,				6 Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Data and product costs	$	7,956	$	10,213	$	15,551	$	20,486
Selling, general and administrative expenses		14,664		15,410		32,062		33,038
	$	22,620	$	25,623	$	47,613	$	53,524

(5) Fair Value Measurements

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

The Company’s cash equivalents are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

All held-to-maturity securities as of June 30, 2024 were US Treasury securities. Investments in these government securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy.

The tables below set forth the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, as well as marketable securities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.

	June 30, 2024
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	12,357,343	$	-	$	-	$	12,357,343
Held-to-maturity securities		4,293,803		-		-		4,293,803
	$	16,651,146	$	-	$	-	$	16,651,146

	December 31, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	11,004,937	$	-	$	-	$	11,004,937
Held-to-maturity securities		4,194,958		-		-		4,194,958
	$	15,199,895	$	-	$	-	$	15,199,895

The Company did not hold financial assets and liabilities which were recorded at fair value in the Level 2 or 3 categories as of June 30, 2024.

The preceding methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

9

(6) Marketable Securities

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its US Treasury securities to maturity (which maturities range up to 22 months at purchase), such securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Accrued bond interest receivable as of June 30, 2024 is $11,699.

The following table summarizes the cost and fair value of marketable securities at June 30, 2024 as follows:

	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gain (Loss)		Fair Value
Held-to-maturity securities
US Treasury securities	$	4,293,803	$	83,197	$	4,377,000

Maturities of marketable securities were as follows at June 30, 2024:

Held-to-maturity securities:
Due in one year or less	$	3,593,803
Due in 12 – 24 months		700,000
	$	4,293,803

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in US Treasury securities. Market values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on an annual basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment exists as of June 30, 2024.

(7) Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.

	3 Months Ended June 30,						6 Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – basic		10,722,401			10,722,401			10,722,401			10,722,401
Potential shares exercisable under stock option plans		227,357			335,137			257,679			305,236
LESS: Shares which could be repurchased under treasury stock method		(192,697	)		(250,220	)		(218,358	)		(225,461	)
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – diluted		10,757,061			10,807,318			10,761,722			10,802,176

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the computation of diluted net income per share excludes the effects of the assumed exercise of 645,050 and 615,050 options, respectively, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive as their exercise prices were above market value.

10

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the computation of diluted net income per share excludes the effects of the assumed exercise of 392,600 and 423,900 options, respectively, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive as their exercise prices were above market value.

(8) Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes that a loss will be incurred and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on the currently available information, the Company does not believe that there are claims or legal proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on the business, or the condensed financial statements of the Company.

(9) Related Party Transactions

On May 1, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Michael Flum, age 36, to serve as Chief Executive Officer and President. Michael Flum joined the Company in June 2018 as Vice President of Operations & Alternative Data. He was appointed Chief Operating Officer in October 2019 and subsequently President in October 2020. Mr. Flum is the son of Jerome S. Flum, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the brother of Joshua Flum, a Director of the Company.

(10) Supplemental Disclosures of Noncash Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there was a noncash transfer of deposits from operating activities to property and equipment in the amount of $155,700.

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 weakened economy could adversely affect our subscribers’ discretionary spending for financial risk information, or even their solvency, but we cannot predict whether or to what extent this will occur.

Our strategic priorities and plans for 2024 are to continue to build on the improvement initiatives underway to achieve sustainable, profitable growth.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents selected financial information and statistics as June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

	June 30,		December 31,
	2024		2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	12,357	$	11,005
Held-to-maturity securities	$	3,594	$	3,495
Accounts receivable, net	$	3,557	$	3,941
Working capital	$	6,913	$	6,499
Cash ratio		0.91		0.86
Quick ratio		1.43		1.45
Current ratio		1.51		1.51

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $12.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of approximately $1.4 million from December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily the result of cash provided by operating activities of approximately $1.6 million offset by the net cash used in investing activities totaling approximately $0.2 million.

The main component of current liabilities at June 30, 2024 was unexpired subscription revenue of approximately $11.4 million, which should not require significant future cash outlay, as this is annual reoccurring revenue, other than the cost of preparation and delivery of the applicable commercial credit reports, which cost much less than the unexpired subscription revenue shown. Unexpired subscription revenue is recognized as income over the subscription term, which approximates 12 months.

The Company has no bank lines of credit or other currently available credit sources.

The Company believes that its existing balances of cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. Moreover, the Company 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Operating revenues increased approximately $251 thousand, or 5%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. This overall revenue growth resulted from an increase in SaaS subscription product revenue, attributable to increased sales to new and existing subscribers, as well as related price increases for subscriptions.

Data and product costs increased approximately $239 thousand, or 12%, for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. This increase was due primarily to (1) higher salary and related employee benefits due to new hires and pay raises to staff, (2) additional data subscriptions for new service offerings including the SupplyChainMonitor™ product, and (3) higher costs of third-party content, due to price increases instituted by some of the Company’s major suppliers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $433 thousand, or 19%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. This increase was due to higher salary expenses from new hires, higher commissions being paid out in 2024 due to sales of newer product offerings, pay raises, and sales enablement software.

Other income increased approximately $3 thousand for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. This increase was minimal due to limited changes in interest rate policy and a continuation of the strategy comprised of money market funds and held-to-maturity holdings as compared to fiscal 2023.

Operating revenues increased approximately $469 thousand, or 5%, for the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. This overall revenue growth resulted from price increases, and an increase in subscription service revenue from sales to new and existing subscribers.

Data and product costs increased approximately $506 thousand, or 13%, for the first half of 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. This increase was due primarily to: (1) higher salary and related employee benefits due to new hires and pay raises to staff, (2) additional or expanded data coverage costs, and (3) higher costs of third-party content, due to inflationary increases instituted by some of the Company’s suppliers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $637 thousand, or 14%, for the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. This increase was primarily due to higher salary and related employee benefits to new hires and staff, higher commissions on newer product offerings, and sales enablement software.

Other income increased approximately $64 thousand for the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on a higher cash and marketable security balance.

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.

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 subscribers as well as the volume and timing of the subscriptions for the Company’s products, 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 subscribers with outstanding value, thus encouraging 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 and service staff as well as 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 into 2025 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 into 2025 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 some of 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 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 subscribers, attract new subscribers 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 Company’s ability to obtain products and services from its vendors, including information suppliers, on commercially reasonable terms, (vi) the Company’s ability to upgrade and develop its systems and infrastructure, and adapt to technological change, (vii) the Company’s ability to attract and retain personnel in a timely and effective manner, (viii) the Company’s ability to manage effectively its development of new business segments and markets, (ix) the Company’s ability to successfully manage the integration of operations and technology of acquisitions or other business combinations, (x) technical difficulties, system downtime, cybersecurity breaches, or Internet brownouts, (xi) the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating the Company’s business, operations and infrastructure, (xii) governmental regulation and taxation policies, (xiii) disruptions in service by common carriers due to strikes or otherwise, (xiv) risks of fire or other casualty, (xv) litigation costs or other unanticipated expenses, (xvi) interest rate risks and inflationary pressures, and (xvii) 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that all such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.
