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 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, 2012.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full fiscal year.

The December 31, 2012 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, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification (“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) Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC had issued certain accounting pronouncements as of June 30, 2013 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 marketable securities are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. Marketable securities include U.S. government bonds.

The table below sets forth the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.

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 2013 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 2013.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents selected financial information and statistics as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

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 June 30, 2013, the Company had $8.96 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, an increase of approximately $809,000 from December 31, 2012. The principal component of this net increase for the last six months was the cash generated by operating activities of approximately $971,000.

Additionally, the main component of current liabilities at June 30, 2013 is deferred revenue of $7.20 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 8 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Operating revenues increased $193,525, or 7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012. This overall revenue growth resulted from an increase in Internet subscription service revenue, attributable to increased sales to new and existing subscribers.

Data and product costs increased $199,827, or 21%, for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. This increase was due primarily to higher salary and related employee benefits, including additional quality control personnel, the higher cost of third-party content due to the purchase of additional data elements, as well as the higher cost associated with the outsourcing of certain data entry tasks, as more tasks have been outsourced.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $86,469, or 6%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. This increase was due to higher salary and related employee benefits, as the result of increased headcount, and legal fees incurred in 2013 for foreign trademark registration.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $3,298, or 9%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. This decrease was due to a lower depreciable asset base reflecting the continued use of certain items that have been fully depreciated.

Other income (expense), net decreased $51,497 for second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period last year. This decrease was due to a negative mark-to-market adjustment recorded in this year’s second quarter.

Provision for income taxes decreased $68,442 for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. This decrease was due to the Company having lower pre-tax income because of the reasons enumerated above.

Operating revenues increased $413,777, or 8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the first half of fiscal 2012. This overall revenue growth is due to an increase in Internet subscription service revenue, attributable to increased sales to new and existing subscribers, partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s third-party international credit report subscription service, attributable to lower usage by subscribers.

Data and product costs increased $309,810, or 17%, for the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. This increase was due primarily to higher salary and related employee benefits, including additional quality control personnel, the higher cost associated with the outsourcing of certain data entry tasks, as more tasks have been outsourced, as well as the higher cost of third-party content due to the purchase of additional data elements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $223,838, or 7%, for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher salary and related employee benefits, and legal fees incurred in 2013 for foreign trademark registration.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $6,003, or 8%, for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. This decrease was due to a lower depreciable asset base reflecting the continued use of certain items that have been fully depreciated.

Other income (expense), net decreased $55,046 for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period last year. This decrease was due to the greater negative mark-to-market adjustment recorded in 2013.

Provision for income taxes decreased $79,935 for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. This decrease was due to the Company having lower pre-tax income because of the reasons enumerated above.

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.
10

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 and service staff, and to 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 2013 and future periods as the Company continues to expand its business on a worldwide basis. Further, the Company expects that product development expenses and data costs will also continue to increase in dollar amount and may increase as a percentage of revenues during the remainder of 2013 and future periods because it expects to employ more development personnel on average compared to prior periods, obtain additional data and build the infrastructure required to support the development of new and improved products and services. However, as these expenditures are largely 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 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 or Internet brownouts, (xi) the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to 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.
