Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| 1. | Description of the Company |
Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (“MBC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MBC Funding II Corp. (“MBC Funding II”) (collectively, the “Company”), offer short-term, secured, non–banking loans (sometimes referred to as “hard money” loans) 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.
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in compliance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
*Principles of Consolidation *
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MBC Funding II. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management will base the use of estimates on (a) a preset number of assumptions that consider past experience, (b) future projections, and (c) general financial market conditions. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and short-term commercial loans.
The Company maintains its cash with major financial institutions. Accounts at the financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per depositor.
Credit risks associated with short-term commercial loans the Company makes to real estate investors and related interest and other fees receivable are described in Note 4.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company complies with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326).” The CECL methodology utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” methodology for the recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses.
The Company estimates its CECL reserve primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method, which has been identified as an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves in the FASB Staff Q&A ASC Topic 326, No.1. The WARM method requires reference to historic loss data taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the relevant timeframe. The Company applies the WARM method for the majority of its loan portfolio, which loans share similar risk characteristics.
Application of the WARM method to estimate a CECL reserve requires judgment, including (i) the appropriate historical loan loss reference data, (ii) the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, and (iii) the current credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio and expectations of performance and market conditions over the relevant time period. To estimate the historic loan losses relevant to the Company’s portfolio, the Company reviews its historical loan performance, which includes zero realized principal losses since the inception of the Company’s business. In addition, the Company reviews each loan on a quarterly basis and evaluates the borrower’s ability to pay the monthly interest, the borrower’s likelihood of executing the original exit strategy, as well as the loan-to-value ratio. Based on these analyses, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no allowance for credit losses is required. Failure to properly measure an allowance for credit losses could result in the overstatement of earnings and the carrying value of the loans receivable. Actual losses, if any, could differ significantly from estimated amounts.
*Income Taxes *
The Company follows ASC Sub-Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has no material uncertain tax positions to be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of income tax expense.
The Company is organized and conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014. A REIT calculates taxable income similar to other domestic corporations, with the major difference being a REIT is entitled to a deduction for dividends paid. A REIT is generally required to distribute each year at least 90% of its REIT taxable income. If it chooses to retain the remaining 10% of taxable income, it may do so, but it will be subject to a corporate income tax on such income. The Company may be subject to federal excise tax and minimum state taxes.
Revenue Recognition
Interest income from commercial loans is recognized, as earned, over the loan period.
Origination fee revenue on commercial loans is amortized over the term of the respective note.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs related to the Company’s former 6% senior secured notes (the “Notes”) were presented as a direct reduction of the related debt liability in accordance with ASU 2015-03 (ASC Sub-Topic 835-30) and were amortized over the term of the Notes. The remaining unamortized balance of costs was fully recognized upon redemption of the Notes in December 2025.
Deferred financing costs related to the Company’s credit facilities, including (i) the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, as amended (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Webster Bank, N.A. (as successor to Webster Business Credit Corporation) (“Webster”), Flushing Bank (“Flushing”) and Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd. (“Mizrahi”) (the “Webster Credit Line”), and (ii) the letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Valley National Bank (“Valley”) that established a line of credit for MBC Funding II (the “Valley Credit Line”), are presented as an asset on the balance sheet in accordance with ASU 2015-15 (ASC Sub-Topic 835-30) and are amortized over the term of the respective agreements using the straight-line method.
Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest and amortization of deferred financing costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic and diluted EPS are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Under ASC Topic 260, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and warrants for common shares using the treasury shares method. The numerator in calculating both basic and diluted EPS for each year is the reported net income. There were no outstanding stock options or warrants at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measured and recognized compensation awards for all stock option grants made to employees and directors, based on their fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC Topic 718”), which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. A key provision of this statement is to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (including stock options) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized over the service period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (i.e., the requisite service period or vesting period). The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718 and ASC Sub-Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payment to Non-Employees.” All transactions with non-employees in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more appropriately measurable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s lines of credit and interest-bearing commercial loans approximate fair value due to the short-term and/or variable-rate nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Notes (when outstanding) was determined using quoted market prices.
Recent 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 consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts included in the December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2025 presentation.
| 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 Company’s Webster Credit Line established pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (see Note 5).
| 4. | Commercial Loans |
Loans Receivable
The Company offers short-term secured non–banking loans to real estate investors (also known as hard money loans) to fund their acquisition and construction of properties located in the New York metropolitan area, including New Jersey and Connecticut, and in Florida. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers. The loans are generally for a term ofone year. The short-term loans are initially recorded, and carried thereafter, in the consolidated financial statements at cost. Most of the loans provide for receipt of interest only during the term of the loan and a balloon payment at the end of the term.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total amounts of $35,336,316 and $41,965,844, respectively, have been lent, offset by collections received from borrowers, under the commercial loans in the amount of $40,636,706 and $49,089,982, respectively. The face amounts of the loans the Company originated in the past seven years have ranged from a minimum of $40,000 to a maximum of $3,600,000. The Company’s board of directors established a policy limiting the maximum amount of any loan to the lower of(i) 9.9% of the aggregate amount of the Company’s loan portfolio (not including the loan under consideration) and (ii) $4 million. The Company’s loans typically have a maximum initial term of 12 months and bear interest at a fixed rate of 9% to 12.5% per year. In addition, the Company usually receives 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, funding and managing 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, up to 80% of construction costs.
At December 31, 2025, the Company was committed to $4,402,556 in construction loans that can be drawn by the borrowers when certain conditions are met.
At December 31, 2024, the Company has made loans to four different entities in the aggregate amount of $7,225,000, or 11.0% of its loan portfolio. One individual holds at least a fifty percent interest in each of the different entities. This individual is not affiliated with any officers or directors of the Company. At December 31, 2025, the Company has made loans to three different entities in the aggregate amount of $6,245,000, or 10.3% of its loan portfolio. One individual holds at least a fifty percent interest in each of the different entities. This individual is not affiliated with any officers or directors of the Company.
The Company generally grants loans for a term of one year. When a performing loan reaches its maturity and the borrower requests an extension, the Company may extend the term of the loan beyond one year. Prior to granting an extension of any loan, the Company reevaluates the underlying collateral.

Generally, borrowers are paying their interest, and the Company receives a fee in connection with the extension of the loans. In all instances, the borrowers have either signed an extension agreement or are in the process of signing an extension. Accordingly, at December 31, 2025, no loan impairments exist and there are no provisions for impairment credit losses of loans or recoveries thereof.
In September 2025, the Company sold one of its loans receivable at its face value of $250,000.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, approximately $10,931,000 of the loans receivable at December 31, 2025 were paid down or paid off, including approximately $6,353,000 originally due on or before December 31, 2025.
| 5. | Lines of Credit |
As of December 31, 2025, the Company was party to an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement with Webster, Flushing, and Mizrahi (the “Lenders”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides the Company with an aggregate revolving credit line of $32.5 million, secured by assignments of mortgages and other collateral. As of December 31, 2025, the Webster Credit Line was scheduled to mature on February 28, 2026.
Borrowings under the Webster Credit Line bear interest, at the Company’s election for each drawdown, at either (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable premium, including a 0.5% agency fee, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 2.00%, plus a 0.5% agency fee. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings fluctuates daily.
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 the Company makes to its 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 the Company or its subsidiary, MBC Funding II, may constitute a default under the Webster Credit Line. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company may repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire its equity securities in an amount not to exceed ten percent of the Company’s 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 committed credit facility with Valley, providing for maximum borrowings of up to $10.0 million. The Valley Credit Line is secured by substantially all of the assets of MBC Funding II and is guaranteed by the Company and includes a limited guaranty from Mr. Ran capped at $500,000. Amounts available for borrowing under the Valley Credit Line are subject to a borrowing base based on eligible mortgage loans, as reflected in periodic borrowing base certificates and related schedules delivered to Valley pursuant to the Letter Agreement. Borrowings under the Valley Credit Line bear interest at a floating rate equal to the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for the applicable interest period (“Term SOFR”), subject to a floor, plus an applicable margin, and are subject to customary fees. The Valley Credit Line matures on December 12, 2027, unless earlier accelerated in accordance with its terms. Borrowings under the Valley Credit Line were used, in part, to fund the redemption of MBC Funding II’s 6.0% Notes in December 2025 (see Note 6).
Deferred financing costs incurred to establish and amend the lines of credit are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective agreements. Amortization expense related to these costs was $15,915 and $13,578 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Webster Credit Line, as amended, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. MBC Funding II was in compliance with all covenants under the Valley Credit Line as of December 31, 2025.

On February 24, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that, among other things, (i) extended the term through March 31, 2026, (ii) provided for the departure of Mizrahi as a lender, and (iii) reallocated revolving commitments among the remaining lenders.
On March 24, 2026, the Company 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. In connection with the amendment, the Company paid a non-refundable amendment fee of $20,000. Except as amended, all other material terms of the credit facility remain in full force and effect.
| 6. | Senior Secured Notes |
On April 25, 2016, in an initial public offering, MBC Funding II issued the Notes, due April 22, 2026, in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000 under the Indenture, dated April 25, 2016, among MBC Funding II, as issuer, the Company, as guarantor, and Worldwide Stock Transfer LLC, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture”). The Notes, with a principal amount of $1,000 each, were listed on the NYSE American and traded under the symbol “LOAN/26.” Interest on the Notes accrued commencing May 16, 2016 and was payable monthly in arrears on the 15th day of each calendar month. The Company guaranteed MBC Funding’s obligations under the Notes, which were secured by its pledge of 100% of the outstanding common shares of MBC Funding that it owns.
Pursuant to a notice of redemption delivered on November 26, 2025, MBC Funding II redeemed all outstanding Notes on December 15, 2025 at a redemption price equal to 100% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Following the redemption, no Notes remained outstanding and trading of the Notes was suspended prior to market open on the redemption date.
| 7. | Simple IRA Plan |
On October 26, 2000, the Board of Directors approved a Simple IRA Plan (the “IRA Plan”) to attract and retain valuable executives. The IRA Plan allows for participation by up to 100 eligible employees of the Company. Under the IRA Plan, eligible employees may contribute a portion of their pre-tax yearly salary, up to the maximum contribution limit for Simple IRA Plans as set forth under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with the Company matching on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to 3% of the employees’ annual pre-tax compensation. Contribution limits and other plan parameters are subject to change in accordance with applicable law and plan administration. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company made matching contributions of $22,716 and $21,255, respectively, to the IRA Plan.

| 9. | Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC Topic 718 of $13,065 for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 reflects the amortization of the fair value of 1,000,000 restricted shares granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on September 9, 2011 of $195,968, after adjusting for the effect on the fair value of the stock options related to this transaction. The fair value is being amortized over 15 years. At December 31, 2025, all 1,000,000 shares remain restricted, and the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation amounted to $8,710. One third of such restricted shares shall vest on each of September 9, 2026, September 9, 2027, and September 9, 2028.
| 10. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Operating Leases
On October 27, 2020, the Company amended its existing lease (the “Lease Amendment”) for its corporate headquarters located at 60 Cutter Mill Road, Great Neck, New York, to expand the office premises and toextend the term of the non-cancelable lease through November 30, 2027. Among other things, the Lease Amendment provides for gradual rent increases from approximately $4,500 per month during the first three years to $5,100 per month during the last year of the extension term, and requires payments for electricity and future escalation increases, as defined. The Company also leased office equipment under a non-cancelable lease that expired in March 2024.
At December 31, 2025, approximate future minimum lease payments, including mandatory fixed electricity charges, are as follows:
| 2026 | $60,926 |
| 2027 | 55,848 |
| Total minimum lease payments | 116,774 |
| Less: amount representing interest | (4,698) |
| Present Value of Net Minimum Lease Payments | $112,076 |
At December 31, 2025, the Company’s operating lease had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 1.92 years, and the weighted-average discount rate used was 4.14%, which was based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the inception of the lease.
Rent expense, including fixed electricity charges and variable real estate taxes, in the years 2025 and 2024 was approximately $64,000 and $63,000, respectively.
Employment Agreements
In March 1999, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ran, pursuant to which: (i) Mr. Ran’s employment term renews automatically on June 30 th of each year for successive one-year periods unless either party gives to the other written notice at least 180 days prior to June 30 th of its intention to terminate the agreement; (ii) Mr. Ran receives a current annual base salary of $380,000 and annual bonuses as determined by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, and is eligible to participate in all executive benefit plans established and maintained by the Company; and (iii) Mr. Ran agreed to a one-year non-competition period following the termination of his employment.
In June 2024, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in Mr. Ran’s annual base salary from $350,000 to $380,000. In December 2025, Mr. Ran voluntarily agreed to forgo $14,615 of base salary for the period from December 18, 2025 through December 31, 2025. As a result, Mr. Ran’s base salary actually earned for 2025 and 2024 was $365,385 and $365,000, respectively. The Compensation Committee also approved a $30,000 annual bonus for Mr. Ran in 2024.
| 11. | 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:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Lending revenue: | $8,666,307 | $9,688,641 |
| Less: | ||
| Interest expense | 1,642,453 | 2,248,368 |
| Amortization of deferred financing costs | 112,900 | 88,664 |
| Referral fees | 3,257 | 1,847 |
| General and administrative expenses | 1,813,510 | 1,776,176 |
| Other income | (18,000) | (18,000) |
| Income tax expense | 1,210 | 650 |
| Net income | $5,110,977 | $5,590,936 |
| 12. | Subsequent Events |
