NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq:LOAN) announced today that total revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 were approximately $491,000 compared to approximately $351,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $140,000 or 39.9%. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations. For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, $402,000 of our revenue represents interest income on the secured commercial loans that we offer to small businesses compared to $284,000 for the same period in 2011, and $89,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to $67,000 for the same period in 2011.
Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $0.04 per basic and diluted share (based on 4.324 million shares and 4.327 million shares, respectively), or $161,600, versus net income of $0.03 per basic and diluted share (based on 3.553 million shares and 3.561 million shares, respectively) or $97,062 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of approximately $65,000. 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 and a decrease in other income.
As of September 30, 2012 total shareholders' equity was $8,461,000 compared to $8,291,000 as of June 30, 2012 and $8,088,000 as of December 31, 2011.
Total revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 were approximately $1,298,000 compared to approximately $1,031,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $267,000, or 25.9%. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations. Revenue of approximately $1,042,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to approximately $842,000 for the same period in 2011, represents interest income on the secured commercial loans that we offer to small businesses, and $256,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to $189,000 for the same period in 2011.
Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $0.08 per basic and diluted share (based on 4.324 million shares and 4.330 million shares, respectively), or $356,647, versus net income of $0.08 per basic share and diluted share (based on 3.401 million shares and 3.416 million shares, respectively) or $264,979 for the same period in 2011, an increase of approximately $92,000. 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 and a decrease in other income.
Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and CEO stated, "Once again we have demonstrated that our model works. This time, with the support of the line of credit from Sterling National Bank, we presented a very impressive increase in revenue and net earnings.
