Latour President and CEO Tel: 781-994-4800 MICROFINANCIAL INCORPORATED - Company Satisfies NYSE Continued Listing Compliance Plan - Woburn, MA-- July 7, 2004-- MicroFinancial Incorporated (NYSE-MFI) announced today that the Company has been notified by the New York Stock Exchange {NYSE} that the Company has been removed from the NYSE's "Watch List" and is now considered a "Company in Good Standing" in accordance with the NYSE's continued listing standards currently in effect. The NYSE's decision comes as a result of MicroFinancial Incorporated's consistent positive performance with respect to the achievement of the goals and objectives outlined in its continued listing plan, the previous cure of its share price non compliance, and the achievement of a minimum of $15 million of market capitalization based upon a 30 day trading average over the NYSE's past four quarterly monitoring periods. The Company has been preliminarily notified by the NYSE of a pending rule change on eligibility for continued listing. The Company will continue to monitor the status of this proposed change and any effect it might have on the Company's compliance with continued listing standards going forward. In accordance with the NYSE's guidelines, the Company will be subject to a 12-month follow-up period to ensure that it remains in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards and will continue to be subject to its routine continued listing monitoring process.
