Manhattan Bridge Capital reported modestly softer results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Total revenue was about $2.07 million, down from roughly $2.27 million a year earlier, as interest income and origination fees both declined. Net income slipped to approximately $1.27 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared with about $1.37 million, or $0.12 per share, in the prior-year quarter.
Loans receivable, net, increased to roughly $61.9 million from $60.2 million at year-end 2025, while total assets reached about $64.3 million. Borrowings on credit lines rose to approximately $19.4 million, supporting continued lending activity. The company extended its primary $32.5 million Webster revolving credit facility to February 28, 2029 and remained in covenant compliance. It also continued returning cash to shareholders, declaring and paying quarterly cash dividends of $0.11 per share, and repurchasing a small number of shares under its authorized buyback program. Management reported no loan impairments and continues to operate as a single real estate lending segment.

Forward Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate” and similar expressions. Those statements appear in a number of places in this report and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations or those of our directors or officers with respect to, among other things, trends affecting our financial condition and results of operations and our business and growth strategies. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those projected, expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors (such factors are referred to herein as “Cautionary Statements”), including but not limited to the following: (i) our loan origination activities, revenues and profits are limited by available funds; (ii) we operate in a highly competitive market and competition may limit our ability to originate loans with favorable interest rates; (iii) our Chief Executive Officer is critical to our business and our future success may depend on our ability to retain him; (iv) if we overestimate the yields on our loans or incorrectly value the collateral securing the loan, we may experience losses; (v) we may be subject to “lender liability” claims; (vi) our due diligence may not uncover all of a borrower’s liabilities or other risks to its business; (vii) borrower concentration could lead to significant losses; (viii) we may choose to make distributions in our own stock, in which case you may be required to pay income taxes in excess of the cash dividends you receive; and (ix) an increase in interest rates may impact our profitability. The accompanying information contained in this report, including the information set forth under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” identifies important factors that could cause such differences. Further information on potential factors that could affect our business is described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and we caution potential investors not to place undue reliance on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.

MANHATTAN BRIDGE CAPITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (“MBC”), a New York corporation founded in 1989, and its consolidated subsidiary, MBC Funding II Corp. (“MBC Funding II”), a New York corporation formed in December 2015 (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual audited financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of consolidated operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be attained in the entire fiscal year.
The Company offers short-term, secured, non–banking loans to real estate investors (also known as hard money loans) to fund their acquisition, renovation, rehabilitation or development of residential or commercial properties located in the New York metropolitan area, including New Jersey and Connecticut, and in Florida.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MBC and MBC Funding II. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interest income from commercial loans is recognized, as earned, over the loan period.
Loans receivable are presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements at cost, net of deferred origination and other fees, which are amortized over the term of the respective loan.
Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for March 31, 2025 have been reclassified to align with the presentation for March 31, 2026.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED TECHNICAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. CASH – RESTRICTED
Restricted cash mainly represents collections received, pending clearance, from the Company’s commercial loans and is primarily dedicated to the reduction of the Webster Credit Line (as defined below), established pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below, see Note 5).

6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed similarly, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the potential dilutive effect of stock options and warrants, if any, using the treasury stock method. The numerator used in calculating both basic and diluted earnings per common share is net income for each period.

9. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company reports segment information based on the management approach which designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company operates as a single reportable segment, originating, servicing, and managing short-term secured commercial loans to real estate investors. Management evaluates performance on a consolidated basis, as all loans share similar risk profiles, underwriting standards, and operational processes. Key performance metrics include interest income, origination fees, loan performance, and operating expenses. Significant expenses reviewed by management include interest and amortization of deferred financing costs and general and administrative expenses, which remain consistent across loan types. There are no material differences between segment-level information and consolidated financial reporting. The Company will continue to evaluate its segment reporting disclosures and make adjustments if there are material changes in business operations or financial reporting requirements.
Net income from the Company’s reportable segment is as follows:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from those projected in such forward-looking statements.
We are a New York-based real estate finance company that specializes in originating, servicing and managing a portfolio of first mortgage loans. We offer short-term, secured, non-banking loans (sometimes referred to as “hard money” loans), which we may renew or extend on, before or after their initial term expires, to real estate investors to fund their acquisition, renovation, rehabilitation or development of residential or commercial properties located in the New York metropolitan area, including New Jersey and Connecticut, and in Florida.
The properties securing the loans are generally classified as residential or commercial real estate and, typically, are not income producing. All loans, except for one loan with a current outstanding principal balance of approximately $20,000, are secured by a first mortgage lien on real estate. In addition, each loan is personally guaranteed by the principal(s) of the borrower, which guarantee may be collaterally secured by a pledge of the guarantor’s interest in the borrower. The face amount of the loans we originated in the past seven years ranged from $40,000 to a maximum of $3.6 million. Our lending policy limits the maximum amount of any loan to the lower of (i) 9.9% of the aggregate amount of our loan portfolio (not including the loan under consideration) and (ii) $4 million. Our loans typically have a maximum initial term of 12 months bearing interest at a fixed rate of 9% to 12.5% per year, except for one loan issued in June 2024, which initially bore interest at 11.5% per annum and, effective January 2, 2025, was modified to bear interest at 7.25% per annum for an extension term of up to one year, which term was subsequently extended for an additional year. In addition, we usually receive origination fees or “points” ranging from 0% to 2% of the original principal amount of the loan as well as other fees relating to underwriting and funding the loan. Interest is always payable monthly, in arrears. In the case of acquisition financing, the principal amount of the loan usually does not exceed 75% of the value of the property (as determined by an independent appraiser) and in the case of construction financing, it is typically up to 80% of construction costs.
Since commencing our business in 2007, except as set forth below, we have never foreclosed on a property, although sometimes we have renewed or extended the term of a loan to enable the borrower to avoid premature sale or refinancing of the property. When we renew or extend a loan, we generally receive additional “points” and other fees. In June 2023, we filed a foreclosure lawsuit relating to one property, as a result of a deed transfer from the borrower to a buyer without our consent. In that instance, the buyer of the property on which we had a valid mortgage suffered a data breach which resulted in the failure of the buyer to remit the funds needed for the loan payoff. In October 2023, we received the entire payoff amount for the loan receivable, including all unpaid fees, to rectify the situation.
Our primary business objective is to grow our loan portfolio while protecting and preserving capital in a manner that provides for attractive risk-adjusted returns to our shareholders over the long term through dividends. We intend to achieve this objective by continuing to selectively originate, fund loans secured by first mortgages on residential and commercial real estate held for investment located in the New York metropolitan area, including New Jersey and Connecticut, and in Florida, and to carefully manage and service our portfolio in a manner designed to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns across a variety of market conditions and economic cycles. We believe that current market dynamics specifically the demand/supply imbalance for relatively small real estate loans, presents opportunities for us to selectively originate high-quality first mortgage loans and we believe that these market conditions should persist for a number of years. We have built our business on a foundation of intimate knowledge of the New York metropolitan area real estate market combined with a disciplined credit and due diligence culture that is designed to protect and preserve capital. We believe that our flexibility and ability to structure loans that address the needs of our borrowers without compromising our standards on credit risk, our expertise, our intimate knowledge of the New York metropolitan area real estate market and our focus on newly originated first mortgage loans, has defined our success until now and should enable us to continue to achieve our objectives.
A principal source of new transactions has been repeat business from prior customers and their referral of new business. We also receive leads for new business from banks, brokers and a limited amount of advertising. Finally, our Chief Executive Officer also spends a significant portion of his time on new business development. We rely on our own employees, independent legal counsel, and other independent professionals to verify titles and ownership, to file liens and to consummate the transactions. Outside appraisers are used to assist us in evaluating the worth of collateral, when deemed necessary by management. We also use construction inspectors.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the total amounts of $14,246,800 and $10,940,040, respectively, have been lent, offset by collections received from borrowers, under our commercial loans of $12,388,029 and $12,698,051, respectively.
At March 31, 2026, we were committed to $4,360,756 in construction loans that can be drawn by our borrowers when certain conditions are met.
| 11 |
To date, none of the loans previously made have been non-collectable, although no assurances can be given that existing or future loans may not prove to be non-collectible or foreclosed in the future.
We satisfied all of the requirements to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. In order to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT and avoid any excise tax on our net taxable income, we are required to distribute each year at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. If we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income (but more than 90%), the undistributed portion will be taxed at the regular corporate income tax rates. As a REIT, we may also be subject to federal excise taxes and minimum state taxes.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to three months ended March 31, 2025
Revenue
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were approximately $2,068,000, compared to approximately $2,274,000 for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of $206,000, or 9.1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest income, driven by a period-over-period decline in loans receivable, as well as lower origination fees reflecting reduced loan origination activity. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately $1,699,000 of our revenue represents interest income on secured commercial loans that we offer to real estate investors, compared to approximately $1,834,000 for the same period in 2025, and approximately $368,000 and $440,000, respectively, represent origination fees on such loans. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers.
Interest and amortization of deferred financing costs
Interest and amortization of deferred financing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were approximately $363,000, compared to approximately $451,000 for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of $88,000, or 19.5%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest expense resulting from reduced average borrowings under the Webster Credit Line and lower prevailing SOFR rates (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were approximately $431,000, compared to approximately $454,000 for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of $23,000, or 5.1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower advertising and appraisal expenses, as well as the absence of a NYSE American listing fee related to the MBC Funding II 6.00% Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) incurred in the prior year period.
Net income
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was approximately $1,274,000 compared to approximately $1,373,000 for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of $99,000, or 7.2%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower revenue, partially offset by reduced interest expense.

At March 31, 2026, we had cash of approximately $184,000, compared to cash of approximately $205,000 at December 31, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1,259,000, compared to approximately $1,181,000 for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher deferred origination and other fees, partially offset by lower net income and an increase in interest and other fees receivable on loans.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1,859,000, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $1,758,000 for the same period in 2025. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted of the issuance of commercial loans of approximately $14,247,000, offset by the collection of our commercial loans of approximately $12,388,000. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of the collection of our commercial loans of approximately $12,698,000, offset by the issuance of commercial loans of approximately $10,940,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $577,000, compared to net cash used in financing activities of approximately $2,918,000 for the same period in 2025. Financing cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflected net proceeds from Webster Credit Line of approximately $1,835,000 and proceeds from borrower escrow deposits of approximately $115,000, partially offset by a dividend payment of approximately $1,315,000, deferred financing costs of approximately $44,000, and the repurchase of treasury shares of approximately $14,000. Financing cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflected net repayments of the Webster Credit Line of approximately $1,602,000 and a dividend payment of approximately $1,315,000.
Our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Webster and Flushing provides for the Webster Credit Line. On March 24, 2026, we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that, among other things, (i) extended the maturity of the credit facility to February 28, 2029, (ii) modified certain portfolio composition requirements, including limiting mortgage loans outstanding for more than 30 months to 17.5% of the total portfolio, (iii) updated applicable interest margins, and (iv) revised certain mortgage loan eligibility criteria. Except as amended, all other material terms of the credit facility remain in full force and effect. The Webster Credit Line provides an aggregate borrowing capacity of $32.5 million, secured by assignments of mortgages and other collateral. As of March 31, 2026, borrowings under the Webster Credit Line bore interest, at our election for each drawdown, at either (i) SOFR plus an applicable premium, which was approximately 6.9%, inclusive of a 0.5% agency fee, or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 2.00%, plus a 0.5% agency fee.
The Webster Credit Line contains customary covenants and restrictions, including, among others, limitations on borrowings relative to collateral value, requirements to maintain specified financial ratios, limitations on the terms of loans we make to our customers, and restrictions, under certain circumstances, on dividends and share repurchases, asset dispositions, mergers or consolidations, the granting of liens, and transactions with affiliates. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains a cross-default provision pursuant to which a default under certain indebtedness of us or our subsidiary, MBC Funding II, may constitute a default under the Webster Credit Line. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we may repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire our equity securities in an amount not to exceed ten percent of our annual net income from the prior fiscal year. The Webster Credit Line also includes restrictions, subject to negotiated exceptions, on additional indebtedness and other restricted payments. In addition, Mr. Ran has provided a personal guaranty of up to $1.0 million, plus enforcement costs, with respect to amounts that may be owed under the Webster Credit Line.
On December 12, 2025, MBC Funding II entered into a letter agreement with Valley pursuant to which Valley agreed to provide MBC Funding II with a revolving line of credit of up to $10.0 million. In connection with the credit facility, MBC Funding II executed a Line of Credit Note evidencing the advances available under the facility and entered into an all-assets Security Agreement in favor of Valley. In addition, we and Mr. Ran provided guarantees of the obligations under the credit facility, including a limited guaranty from Mr. Ran capped at $500,000. The Valley Credit Line is secured by substantially all of the assets of MBC Funding II and is guaranteed by us. The Credit Facility matures on the earlier of December 12, 2027 or the acceleration of the obligations following an event of default. Borrowings under the Valley Credit Line are subject to a borrowing base based on eligible mortgage loans. The Valley Credit Line contains customary covenants and restrictions, including financial covenants and limitations on borrowings based on collateral values.
Outstanding borrowings under the Valley Credit Line bear interest at a floating rate equal to Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 3.00%, plus 2.95% per annum, and are subject to standard benchmark replacement provisions. The facility also requires the payment of an upfront fee equal to 0.20% of the total commitment and an unused line fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the facility. As of March 31, 2026, borrowings under the Valley Credit Line bore interest at a floating rate equal to Term SOFR, subject to a floor, plus an applicable margin and customary fees, which rate was approximately 6.6%.
We were in compliance with all covenants under the Webster Credit Line and the Valley Credit Line as of March 31, 2026. As of that date, outstanding borrowings under the Webster Credit Line were $13,393,777 and outstanding borrowings under the Valley Credit Line were $6,042,500.

On November 20, 2025, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of our common stock over the following 12 months. As of March 31, 2026, we had repurchased an aggregate of 9,300 shares under the program at a total cost of approximately $42,000. Of these amounts, 3,100 shares were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 at an aggregate cost of approximately $14,000.
We believe that our current cash balances, available borrowings under the Webster Credit Line and the Valley Credit Line, and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. From time to time, we also obtain short-term unsecured loans from our executive officers and others, which provide us with additional flexibility to support the ongoing deployment of capital. We expect, however, that our working capital requirements will increase over the next 12 months as we continue to pursue growth opportunities under favorable market conditions.
