LONG ISLAND, N.Y., July 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. LOAN announced today that its total revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $1,401,000 compared to approximately $1,166,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $235,000, or 20.2%. For the three month period ended June 30, 2017, approximately $1,189,000 of the Company's revenue represents interest income on the secured, commercial loans that the Company offers to small businesses compared to approximately $974,000 for the same period in 2016, and approximately $212,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to approximately $192,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations.
Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $840,000, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 8.1 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $710,000, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 7.3 million weighted-average outstanding common shares) for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue, offset by an increase in operating expenses.
Total revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $2,731,000 compared to approximately $2,270,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $461,000, or 20.3%. For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, approximately $2,295,000 of the Company's revenue represents interest income on the secured, commercial loans that the Company offers to small businesses compared to approximately $1,888,000 for the same period in 2016, and approximately $436,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to approximately $382,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations.
Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $1,631,000, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 8.1 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $1,405,000, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 7.3 million weighted-average outstanding common shares) for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue, offset by an increase in operating expenses.
As of June 30, 2017, total shareholders' equity was approximately $22,966,000 compared to approximately $22,314,000 as of December 31, 2016, an increase of $652,000.
Effective July 7, 2017, the Company amended certain terms of the existing credit line agreement with Webster Business Credit Corporation, whereby Webster increased the Company's existing credit line from $14 million to $15 million, with an option, at the discretion of Webster, to further increase the credit line to $20 million. In addition, the credit line interest rate was reduced by 0.5%, and the term of the credit line was extended until February 28, 2022.
Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and CEO stated, "I'm pleased to present another good quarter and new record revenue and net earnings. Our goal is to continue with our responsible lending approach in order to continue to maintain a default free loan portfolio and track record. We've recently announced that our line of credit from our bank was increased, which we believe will allow us to keep growing the company in the future."

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties.
