Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results


NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq:LOAN) announced today that its total revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $342,000 compared to approximately $315,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 9%. For the three month period ended June 30, 2011, $276,000 of the Company's revenue represented interest income on the short term secured commercial loans that the Company offers to small businesses compared to $260,000 for the same period in 2010, and $66,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to $55,000 for the same period in 2010. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations.

Income from operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $110,000 compared to approximately $123,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 11%. This decrease in income from operations resulted mainly from an increase in operating costs and expenses of $40,000, primarily attributable to an increase in payroll expenses due to restoration of our CEO's salary in June 2010 and an increase in interest expense on loans and line of credit, offset by a decrease in equity-based compensation expense.

Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 was $0.03 per basic and diluted share (based on 3.324 million shares and 3.398 million shares), or $87,000, versus net income of $0.05 per basic and diluted share (based on 3.324 million shares and 3.370 million shares) or $155,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010. This decrease in net income is mainly due to a decrease in other income due to the realized gains on the sale of marketable securities that were previously marked down which were recorded in the period ended June 30, 2010, in the amount of $96,000 and increases in operating costs and expenses, offset by the increase in revenue.

Total revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $680,000 compared to approximately $606,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 12%. For the six month period ended June 30, 2011, $558,000 of the Company's revenue represented interest income on the short term secured commercial loans that the Company offers to small businesses compared to $496,000 for the same period in 2010, and $122,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to $110,000 for the same period in 2010.

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was $0.05 per basic and diluted share (based on 3.324 million shares and 3.397 million shares,), or $168,000, versus net income of $0.09 per basic and diluted share (based on 3.324 million shares and 3.368 million shares,) or $296,000 for the same period in 2010, a decrease of approximately $128,000. This decrease in net income is mainly due to a decrease in other income due to the realized gains on the sale of marketable securities that were previously marked down which were recorded in the period ended June 30, 2010, in the amount of $151,000 and increases in operating costs and expenses, offset by the increase in revenue.

As of June 30, 2011 total shareholders' equity was $7,962,000 compared to $7,763,000 as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $199,000.

Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and CEO stated, "During the second quarter we increased our leverage position and revenue and steadily kept the growth of our shareholders' equity. Our recent relocation to an office outside of NYC and additional saving measures will help reduce operating expenses.
