Long Island, N.Y. October 30, 2013 / GLOBE Newswire / -- Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOAN)

 

Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. announced today that total revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 were approximately $585,000 compared to approximately $491,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $94,000 or 19.1%. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately $479,000 and $402,000, respectively, of our revenues were attributable to interest income on the secured commercial loans that we offer to small businesses, and approximately $106,000 and $89,000, respectively, of our revenues were attributable to origination fees on such loans. 
Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 was $0.05 per basic and diluted share (based on 4.263 million shares and 4.288 million shares, respectively), or $193,921, versus net income of $0.04 per basic and diluted share (based on 4.324 million shares and 4.327 million shares, respectively) or $161,600 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $32,000. This increase in net income was mainly due to an increase in revenue and a decrease in general and administrative expenses, offset by an increase in interest and amortization of debt service costs.

 

As of September 30, 2013 total shareholders' equity was $8,864,000 compared to $8,722,000 as of June 30, 2013 and $8,479,000 as of December 31, 2012.

 

Total revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 were approximately $1,673,000 compared to approximately $1,298,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $375,000, or 28.9%. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, revenues of approximately $1,371,000 and $1,042,000, respectively, were attributable to interest income on the secured commercial loans that we offer to small businesses, and approximately $302,000 and $256,000, respectively, were attributable to origination fees on such loans.   

 

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was $0.12 per basic and diluted share (based on 4.274 million shares and 4.289 million shares, respectively), or $524,991, versus net income of $0.08 per basic share and diluted share (based on 4.324 million shares and 4.330 million shares, respectively) or $356,647 for the same period in 2012, an increase of approximately $168,000. This increase in net income was mainly due to an increase in revenue, offset by an increase in interest and amortization of debt service costs.

 

Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and CEO stated, “The results of the third quarter demonstrate an all-time record of revenue and net earnings for our lending operations, while we maintain a portfolio of performing loans which had never experienced a default.”

 

“As the marketplace recovers and in some cases even exceeds the pre-2008 crisis levels, we enhance our risk control measures even more.” added Mr. Ran.
