LOAN Manhattan Bridge Capital Inc

Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOAN) announced today that its total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $1,779,000 compared to approximately $1,668,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $111,000, or 6.7%. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, approximately $1,487,000 of the Company's revenue represents interest income on the secured, commercial loans that the Company offers to small businesses compared to approximately $1,423,000 for the same period in 2018, and approximately $292,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to approximately $244,000 for the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $1,084,000, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 9.7 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $949,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 8.1 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue, and a decrease in interest costs resulting from lower outstanding amounts under a revolving credit facility following the Company’s public offering in July 2018.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $3,567,000 compared to approximately $3,332,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $235,000, or 7.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, approximately $2,990,000 of the Company's revenue represents interest income on the secured, commercial loans that the Company offers to small businesses compared to approximately $2,853,000 for the same period in 2018, and approximately $577,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to approximately $480,000 for the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $2,205,000, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 9.7 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $1,930,000, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 8.1 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue, and a decrease in interest costs resulting from lower outstanding amounts under a revolving credit facility following the Company’s public offering in July 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, total stockholders' equity was approximately $33,125,000.

Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, “The real estate market in the geographical areas in which we operate is slow and uncertain. In addition, we still face a high level of competition. Therefore, the interest rate we are able to charge has dropped by approximately 2%. These factors generate a challenging working environment for us, but we still managed to increase net earnings and maintain our default-free track record. In addition, we recently announced a geographical expansion to New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida. Rest assured that our high loan quality standards will not be compromised.”
