(Unaudited)
(1) Overview and Basis of Presentation
CreditRiskMonitor.com, Inc. (the “Company” or “CreditRiskMonitor.com”) provides interactive business-to-business Software-as-a-Service (“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 (“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, 2024.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for an entire fiscal year.
The December 31, 2024 condensed balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 (“CODM”) 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. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024 (see Note 9).
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which provides for improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on its financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), to improve disclosures about a public entity’s expenses by requiring disclosure of additional information about the types of expenses commonly presented in the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this update on its financial statements.
(3) Revenue Recognition
The Company applies FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts 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.
(4) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“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 months ended March 31:

(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, accounts payable, and accrued expenses 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were U.S. 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company did not hold financial assets and liabilities which were recorded at fair value in the Level 2 or 3 categories as of March 31, 2025.
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.
(6) Marketable Securities
Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its U.S. Treasury securities to maturity, such securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Maturities on these U.S. Treasury security holdings range from 12 to 25 months from the date of purchase. Accrued bond interest receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is $65,279 and $79,497 , respectively.
The tables below summarize the Company’s cost and fair value of marketable securities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist of investments in U.S. 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 March 31, 2025.
(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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the computation of diluted net income per share excludes the effects of the assumed exercise of 611,850 stock options, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive as their exercise prices were above average market value.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the computation of diluted net income per share excludes the effects of the assumed exercise of 529,900 stock options, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive as their exercise prices were above average 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) Segment Reporting
The Company has a operating and reportable segment: SaaS subscription products. This segment includes add-ons and enhancements that can only be accessed with an active base subscription to its SaaS subscription products. The products are used mainly by subscribers to analyze commercial financial risk for the purpose of extending trade credit and managing the counterparty risk associated with these relationships.
The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer and President. The CODM makes operating decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources using the entity-wide revenue and expense information reported on the Condensed Statements of Operations and the more detailed significant expense categories disclosed in the table below. The primary measure of segment profit is net income as reported on the Condensed Statements 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 the Company cannot predict whether or to what extent this may occur.
Our strategic priorities and plans for 2025 are to continue to build on the improvement initiatives underway to enhance our value proposition to subscribers while continuing to achieve sustainable, profitable growth.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $5.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of approximately $837 thousand from December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily the result of net cash used by operating activities. The Company had approximately $9.8 million in non-current held-to-maturity assets comprised of U.S. Treasury securities, an increase of approximately $1.0 million from December 31, 2024.
The main component of current liabilities at March 31, 2025 was unexpired subscription revenue of approximately $11.0 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 debt. However, the Company’s liquidity could be negatively affected if it were to make an acquisition or license products or technologies, which may require the need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing. Additional financing may not be available 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 $63 thousand, or 1%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the same period of fiscal 2024. 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 $86 thousand, or 4%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the same period of fiscal 2024. This increase was due primarily to (i) higher salary and related employee expenses from new hires, pay raises to existing staff, and expansion of the expert network and (ii) higher costs of third-party content due to price increases instituted by some of the Company’s major suppliers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $77 thousand, or 3%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the same period of fiscal 2024. This decrease was due primarily to (i) lower customer acquisition costs during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and (ii) lower professional fees due to a non-recurring technology consultant expense that was incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Other income decreased approximately $21 thousand for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the same period of fiscal 2024. This decrease was due to a shift in cash management strategy from institutional money market funds towards longer duration U.S. Treasury securities in anticipation of a reduction in rates. Short-term interest rate levels on institutional money market funds are lower in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, relative to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Accordingly, management believes the decision to invest in U.S. Treasury security holdings with maturities ranging from 12 to 25 months reflected prudent risk management.
Future Operations
The Company over time intends to expand its operations by expanding the breadth and depth of its product and service offerings and by 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 customer 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. The Company anticipates 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 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 operating revenues and results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as an indication of future performance.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein, are forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our results of operations; financial position and performance; liquidity and our ability to fund business operations and initiatives; capital expenditure; business strategies, plans and goals, including those related to marketing, expansion of our business; industry trends; general economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates and other pricing pressures that could impact our operating margins; expectations regarding consumer behaviors and trends; our culture and operating philosophy; human resource management; legal proceedings; and our objectives for future operations. The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “target,” “likely,” “opportunity,” “may,” “could,” “outlook,” “can,” “trend,” “might,” “drives,” “hope,” “potential,” “project,” “predict,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial or other trends that the Company believes may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date it is made. These forward-looking statements are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, changes in circumstances and other important factors that are difficult to predict. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment in which new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can the Company assess the impact of all important factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of such factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements the Company may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed may not occur and our financial condition and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. In other words, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and inherently involve a wide range of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. The Company cautions you therefore against relying on these forward-looking statements. Some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include regional, national, or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and the other important factors included in this report under sections captioned “Results of Operations,” and “Future Operations,” among others, as well as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 in “Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. The Company qualifies all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
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 are 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.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
In response to Item 402(x)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Company does not grant new awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments in anticipation of material nonpublic information. Accordingly, the Company has no specific policy or practice on the timing of awards of such options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information by the Company.
