Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. Reports First Quarter Results
April 16 2018 - 7:05AM
Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ:LOAN) announced today that
total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 was
approximately $1,664,000 compared to approximately $1,330,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 2017, an increase of
$334,000, or 25.1%. The increase in revenue represents an increase
in lending operations. In 2018, approximately $1,429,000 of the
Company’s revenue represents interest income on secured, commercial
loans that it offers to small businesses compared to approximately
$1,106,000 for the same period in 2017, and approximately $235,000
represents origination fees on such loans compared to approximately
$223,000 for the same period in 2017. The loans are principally
secured by collateral consisting of real estate and, generally,
accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the
businesses.
Net income for the three month period ended
March 31, 2018 was approximately $981,000, or $0.12 per basic and
diluted share (based on approximately 8.1 million weighted-average
outstanding common shares), versus approximately $791,000, or $0.10
per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 8.1 million and
8.2 million weighted-average outstanding common shares,
respectively), an increase of $190,000, or 24.0%. This
increase is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue,
offset by an increase in interest expense.
As of March 31, 2018, total assets were
approximately $46,856,000 compared to approximately $45,897,000 as
of December 31, 2017, an increase of $959,000, or 2.1%.
Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and CEO,
stated, “We’ve had another successful quarter. During the first
quarter the amount of paid loans was higher than usual. We believe
that this is another indication of our portfolio’s strength and
liquidity. Thanks to our robust sales and marketing network, we
managed to redeploy the funds promptly. As with prior quarters, we
had yet another quarter of no defaults,” added Mr. Ran.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release and the statements of our
representatives related thereto contain or may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not
statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words
such as “plan,” “project,” “potential,” “seek,” “may,” “will,”
“expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,”
or “continue” are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
For example, when we discuss the portfolio’s strength and liquidity
we are using forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that
certain important factors may affect the Company’s actual results
and could cause such results to differ materially from any
forward-looking statements that may be made in this news release.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance
and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ
materially from those projected, expressed or implied in the
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors,
including but not limited to the following: (i) our loan
origination activities, revenues and profits are limited by
available funds; (ii) we operate in a highly competitive market and
competition may limit our ability to originate loans with favorable
interest rates; (iii) our Chief Executive Officer is critical to
our business and our future success may depend on our ability to
retain him; (iv) if we overestimate the yields on our loans or
incorrectly value the collateral securing the loan, we may
experience losses; (v) we may be subject to “lender liability”
claims; (vi) our due diligence may not uncover all of a borrower’s
liabilities or other risks to its business; (vii) borrower
concentration could lead to significant losses; and (viii) we may
choose to make distributions in our own stock, in which case you
may be required to pay income taxes in excess of the cash dividends
you receive. The risk factors contained in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission identify important factors
that could cause such differences. These forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date of this press release, and we caution
potential investors not to place undue reliance on such statements.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
