Fellow Shareholders, When I founded Manhattan Bridge Capital in 1989, immediately after arriving in NYC from Israel, I didn’t imagine that the company would grow to become a leading Hard Money Lender in the New York Metropolitan area and in Florida, and operate as a mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT). We went a long way from starting in a basement in Flushing, Queens. I was 24 years old then and the company’s sole owner. Through the years I maintained my position as the largest shareholder of the company. Yet, I always strive to put your interests before my own. Here are a few examples that demonstrate that: I have bought shares in the open market frequently since we started trading on Nasdaq in 1999, I have asked our compensation committee to halt my salary and bonuses on several occasions when I sensed that the company would need additional liquidity, I continue to extend my personal guarantee to the company's line of credit and when we issue new shares to the market, I only support the transaction when the price is higher than the previous offering.

December 2021

Fellow Shareholders, I hope that you and your loved ones are well and safe. Who would have imagined that this crisis will still be dominating our lives in 2021? The scale of challenges in 2020 was unprecedented and it was a reality test for our mechanisms and system; yet, due to our conservative underwriting and disciplined loan policies, we prevailed and continued delivering an impressive performance, on-time cash dividends and increased shareholders’ value.

December 2019

Dear Shareholders, I hope that this letter finds you and your loved ones healthy and well. From the intensity of the current events and market conditions, 2019 seems like the distant past, and the challenges we dealt with last year seemlike a piece of cake versus what we are dealing with today. As you may recall, I anticipated a recession for some time. Money was too easy and too available in recent years, and our competition kept loosening underwriting standards and lowering interest rates.

December 2018

Dear Valued Shareholder, Our challenge for 2018 was to continue to grow further while avoiding the new loose standards set by some of our competitors. Thanks to our solid position in the market-place as well as our strong reputation, we managed to achieve that goal. I am proud to present to you another year of record high revenue, record high net earnings of $0.48 per share and no loan defaults.

December 2017

Dear Valued Shareholders, 2017 was an important year for Manhattan Bridge Capital. We successfully continued growing even in the face of intense competition in a market-place saturated with cash.

Due to our solid loan portfolio, and lack of collection issues, our existing bank was willing to increase the size of our credit line.

December 2007

Dear Shareholders, In 2007 Dag Media Inc. established Dag Funding Solutions, a short-term, secured commercial lender to small businesses, and commenced limited lending operations. We also substantially reduced our losses from continuing operations from approximately $812,000 in 2006 to $39,000 in 2007 through making tough business decisions such as terminating operations and then dissolving Shoipila, our e-commerce subsidiary, and suspending operations and further development work on Next Yellow.

We believe that this business puts us on the path to sustained growth and future profitability...
