MANHATTAN BRIDGE CAPITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
 
1. 
THE COMPANY

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc., a New York corporation, (referred to herein as “Manhattan Bridge Capital” “we”, “MBC”, “us” or “our”) have been prepared by  the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. generally accepted accounting principles for complete 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 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.
 
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
 
The Company provides short term secured non–banking commercial loans, to real estate investors (also known as hard money) to fund their acquisition and construction of properties located in the New York Metropolitan area.
 
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC 605, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 605 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery of the product has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the sales price charged is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Interest income from commercial loans is recognized, as earned, over the loan period.
 
Origination fee revenue on short term commercial loans is amortized over the term of the respective note.
 
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s senior secured notes are being amortized over the term of the notes using the straight-line method.
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets.
 
 
- 5 -

 
 
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
 
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
Cash equivalents and investment instruments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The Company’s Level 1 investments are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.  As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company’s Level 1 investments consisted of cash and money market accounts in the amount of approximately $1,263,000 and $386,000, respectively, and were recorded as cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
 
2. 
RECENT TECHNICAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In July 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-20, entitled “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which is effective for public entities interim and annual financial statements ending after December 15, 2010. The objective of this amended guidance is for an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of; the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables; how risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses; and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. Existing guidance has been amended to provide enhanced disaggregated disclosures in situations involving impairments or troubled loan restructurings, with the guidance for trouble debt restructuring disclosures delayed pursuant to ASU 2011-01. Company disclosures herein are based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2010-20, and providing disclosures there under that apply to its loan portfolio in the current circumstances.
 
In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 provides amendments to Topic 310 to clarify which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU No. 2011-02 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. This guidance requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The option to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity is eliminated. This guidance also requires reclassification adjustments between net income and other comprehensive income to be shown on the face of the financial statements. The updated guidance is effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within the fiscal year, with full retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financials statements.
 
 
- 6 -

 
 
 Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effected, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
3. 
SHORT TERM COMMERCIAL LOANS
 
At September 30, 2011, we were committed to an additional $1,495,000 in construction loans that can be drawn by the borrower when certain conditions are met.
 
At September 30, 2011, the Company has made loans to four borrowers in the aggregate amount of $1,205,000. One individual holds at least a fifty percent interest in each of the borrowers. The Company also has made loans to six borrowers in the aggregate amount of $1,310,000. One individual holds a fifty percent interest in each of the borrowers. The Company also has made loans to four borrowers in the aggregate amount of $1,400,000. One individual holds at least a fifty percent interest in each of the borrowers. All individuals have no relationship to any of the officers or directors of the Company.
 
The Company generally grants loans for a term of one year.  In certain situations the Company and its borrowers have mutually agreed to the extension of the loans as a result of the downturn in the economy and the real estate industry in the New York metropolitan area. Potential buyers of the real estate serving as collateral for the short-term loans may have difficulty securing financing due to restrictions imposed by financial institutions resulting from the recent mortgage crisis. In addition, the Company’s borrowers may be having difficulty securing permanent financing.  Prior to the Company granting an extension of any loan, it reevaluates the underlying collateral. At September 30, 2011, the Company’s short-term and long term loans include loans in the amount of $524,700 and $1,750,200, originally due in 2009 and 2010, respectively. In all instances the borrowers are currently paying their interest and, generally, the Company receives a fee in connection with the extension of the loans.  Accordingly, at September 30, 2011, no loan impairments exist and there are no provisions for impairments of loans or recoveries thereof included in operations.

INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE
 
On March 21, 2011, the Company purchased three 2-family buildings located in the Bronx, New York for $675,000, including related costs, and sold to the seller a one year option to buy back the properties for the same price. The buy back option was sold for $3,900, plus a monthly fee of $10,530 payable to the Company by the option holder for the life of the option. On September 28, 2011, the option holder exercised the option to buy back one of the properties for $380,679.  The Company had received an aggregate of $70,590 from the sale of the option prior to the partial exercise and, on October 1, 2011, has issued a new one year option for the two remaining properties at an exercise price of $294,321 with a monthly option fee of $4,591 (the “New Option”.)  The New Option supersedes the buy back option issued in March 2011.

5. 
LONG TERM LOANS RECEIVABLE
 
During the three month period ended September 30, 2011, management determined to reclassify a portion of the Company’s short term loans to long term loans receivable. Long term loans receivable comprise the loans that were extended beyond the original maturity dates, unless it is clear that the loan will be paid back by September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2011, the Company’s loan portfolio consists of approximately $6,274,000 short term loans and approximately $2,174,000 loan term loans receivable.
 
6. 
EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”. Under ASC 260, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and warrants for common shares using the treasury stock method. The numerator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings per common share for each period is the reported net income.
 
The denominator is based on the following weighted average number of common shares:

   
Three Months Ended
 September 30,
   
Nine Months Ended
September 30,
 
   
2011
   
2010

Basic
    3,552,720       3,324,459       3,401,382       3,324,459  
Incremental shares for assumed conversion of options
    8,666       55,947       14,807       47,512  
Diluted
    3,561,386       3,380,406       3,416,189       3,371,971  

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, 334,334 and 328,193, stock options were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, respectively, either because their effect would have been anti-dilutive, or because they are in escrow (See note 8).
 
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, 553,720 and 562,155, stock options were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
 
7. 
STOCK – BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company measures and recognizes compensation awards for all stock option grants made to employees and directors, based on their fair value in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation- Stock Compensation”, 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 718 and ASC 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.

Share based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $17,107 and $47,862, respectively. Share based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $13,344 and $59,099, respectively.
 
The share based compensation expense for the three month and nine months ended September 30, 2011 also included the amortization of the fair value of the restricted shares granted on September 9, 2011, after adjusting for the effect on the fair value of the stock options related to this transaction. The fair value will be amortized over 15 years (See note 8).
 
The exercise price of options granted under our stock option plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant.  The options may vest over a period not to exceed ten years.  Stock options under our stock option plan may be awarded to officers, key-employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company.  Under our stock option plan, every non-employee director of the Company is granted 7,000 options upon first taking office, and then 7,000 upon each additional year in office. The objectives of our stock option plan include attracting and retaining key personnel, providing for additional performance incentives and promoting the success of the Company by increasing the efforts of such officers, employees, consultants and directors.  Our stock option plan is the only plan that the Company has adopted with stock options available for grant.
 
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average share assumptions used for grants in 2011 and 2010: (1) expected life of 5 years; (2) no annual dividend yield; (3) expected volatility 72.5% to 73.2%; and (4) risk free interest rate of 0.81% to 2.37%.

The weighted-average fair value of each option granted during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, was $0.83 per option and $0.78 per option, respectively.
 
210,000 out of the 343,000 outstanding options at September 30, 2011 are currently in escrow (See note 8).

RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT
 
On September 9, 2011, upon shareholders approval, the Company granted 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock (the “Restricted Shares”) to Mr. Assaf Ran, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  Under the terms of the restricted shares agreement (the “Restricted Shares Agreement”), Mr. Ran agreed to forfeit options exercisable for an aggregate of 280,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices above $1.21 per share that were held by him and agreed not to exercise additional options for an aggregate of 210,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices below $1.21 per share (the “Remaining Options”.)  Until their expiration, Mr. Ran will be required to forfeit approximately 4.76 Restricted Shares for each share of common stock issued upon any exercise of the Remaining Options.  In addition, Mr. Ran may not sell, convey, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Shares until the earliest to occur of the following:  (i) September 9, 2026, with respect to 1/3 of the Restricted Shares, September 9, 2027 with respect to an additional 1/3 of the Restricted Shares and September 9, 2028 with respect to the final 1/3 of the Restricted Shares; (ii) the date on which Mr. Ran’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for “Cause” (i.e., misconduct that is materially injurious to the Company monetarily or otherwise, including engaging in any conduct that constitutes a felony under federal, state or local law);or (iii) the date on which Mr. Ran’s employment is terminated on account of (A) his death; (B) his disability, which, in the opinion of his personal physician and a physician selected by the Company, prevents him from being employed by the Company on a full-time basis (each such date being referred to as a “Risk Termination Date”).  If at any time prior to a Risk Termination Date either the Company terminates Mr. Ran’s employment for Cause or Mr. Ran voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company for any reason other than death or disability, Mr. Ran will forfeit that portion of the Restricted Shares which have not previously vested.  Mr. Ran will have the power to vote the Restricted Shares and will be entitled to all dividends payable with respect to the Restricted Shares from the date the Restricted Shares are issued.
 
In connection with the Compensation Committee’s approval of the foregoing grant of Restrict Shares, Mr. Ran had advised the Compensation Committee that he would not seek future stock option grants and the Committee indicated that it had no present intention of continuing its prior practice of annually awarding stock options to Mr. Ran as CEO.

The grant of Restricted Shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The stock certificates for the Restricted Shares were imprinted with restrictive legends and are held in escrow until vesting occurs.

LOANS AND LINE OF CREDIT
 
In September 2009 the Company established a secured line of credit with Valley National Bank. The line of credit provides for maximum borrowings in the amount of up to $300,000, which may be prepaid by the Company at any time without penalty. The line requires monthly payments of interest only at the rate of 9%, per annum, with borrowings still outstanding due in October, 2012. Pursuant to a security agreement, the line of credit is secured by the Company’s short term loans. As of both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $300,000 is outstanding under this line.
 
 
- 10 -

 
 
In March 2011, the Company received three separate short-term loans from three different entities, in the aggregate amount of $603,845, bearing interest at rates ranging from 8% to 14%, per annum. On April 18, 2011, one of the loans in the amount of $170,000 was repaid in full by the Company. In June 2011, the Company received two additional short-term loans from two different entities, in the aggregate amount of $525,620, bearing interest at rates ranging from 8% to 10%, per annum. In July 2011, the Company received another short-term loan in the amount of $200,000, bearing interest at rate of 10%, per annum. Five of the short-term loans payable are secured by the Company’s short term loans, pursuant to a security agreement and three of the loans are also personally guaranteed by our CEO.
 
10. 
SENIOR SECURED NOTES
 
On December 28, 2010, MBC Funding completed a $500,000 private placement of three-year 6.63% senior secured notes. In connection therewith, MBC assigned approximately $750,000 of its short-term loans to MBC Funding to use as collateral for the notes. Pursuant to the agreement, MBC has also guaranteed the repayment of the notes. The notes require quarterly payments of interest only through the expiration date in December, 2013, at which time the notes become due. The private placement was the initial tranche of a $5,000,000 offering which expired on March 31, 2011.
 
Financing costs incurred in connection with the agreement totaled $109,183, including five year warrants (the “warrants”) to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to the underwriter at $2.50 per share, which were valued at $11,683. These costs are amortized over the life of the senior secured notes. The amortization costs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 were $9,099 and $27,296, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Office Space
 
On June 9, 2011, the Company entered into a new lease agreement (the “Lease’) to relocate its corporate headquarters to 60 Cutter Mill Road, Great Neck, New York.  The Lease is for a term of 5 years and two months commencing June 2011 and ending August 2016.  The rent increases annually during the term and ranges from approximately $2,800 per month during the first year to $3,200 per month during the fifth year.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The discussion and analysis contains 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 offer short-term, secured, non–banking loans to real estate investors (also known as hard money) to fund their acquisition and construction of properties located in the New York Metropolitan area. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and, generally, accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the businesses. The loans are generally for a term of one year. 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2011 the total amounts of $6,504,036 have been lent, offset by collections received from borrowers, under the short term commercial loans in the amount of $6,212,018. Loans ranging in size from $50,000 to $1,000,000 were concluded at stated interest rates of 12% to 16%, but often at higher effective rates based upon points or other up-front fees.  We use our own employees, outside lawyers and other independent professionals to verify titles and ownership, to file liens and to consummate the transactions.   Outside appraisers are also employed to assist us in evaluating the worth of collateral.
 
The Company generally grants loans for a term of one year.  In certain situations the Company and its borrowers have mutually agreed to the extension of the loans as a result of the downturn in the economy and the real estate industry in the New York metropolitan area. Potential buyers of the real estate serving as collateral for the short-term loans may have difficulty securing financing due to restrictions imposed by financial institutions resulting from the recent mortgage crisis. In addition, the Company’s borrowers may be having difficulty securing permanent financing.  Prior to the Company granting an extension of any loan, it reevaluates the underlying collateral.
 
To date, we have not experienced any defaults and none of the loans previously made have been non-collectable, although no assurances can be given that existing or future loans may not go into default or prove to be non-collectable in the future.
 
At September 30, 2011, we were committed to an additional $1,495,000 in construction loans that can be drawn by the borrower when certain conditions are met.

Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2010
 
Revenue
 
Total revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $351,000 compared to approximately $306,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $45,000 or 14.7%. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations. For the three month period ended September 30, 2011, $284,000 of our revenue represents interest income on the secured commercial loans that we offer to small businesses compared to $256,000 for the same period in 2010, and $67,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to $51,000 for the same period in 2010. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and, generally, accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the businesses.
 
Interest expense
 
Interest expense on loans, the line of credit and senior secured notes for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 was $39,000 compared to $7,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the issuance of senior secured notes, the line of credit and short term loans in order to increase our ability to make loans. (See notes 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report).
 
General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $205,000 compared to approximately $183,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to the amortization of the deferred financing costs, the increases in professional fees and in public relations expense, offset by the decrease in equity-based compensation expense and in office rent.
 
Other income
 
For the three month period ended September 30, 2011 we had other income in the amount of approximately $32,000, which represents fees from the sale of a buy back option to the seller of certain real property we purchased in March 2011 (See note 4 to the consolidated financial statements which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report), compared to net other income in the amount of $177, consisting of dividend and interest income, for the three month period ended September 30, 2010.
 
Income tax expense
 
For the three month period ended September 30, 2011 we had income tax expense of approximately $41,000 compared to approximately $60,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in income tax expense reflects the fact that the Company moved its headquarters out of the New York City at the end of June, 2011, thereby reducing the New York City tax liability. In addition, during 2011 the Company has certain capital gains included in income, which are eligible to be offset by the Company’s capital loss carry forwards.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
 
Revenue
 
Total revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $1,031,000 compared to approximately $913,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $118,000, or 12.9%. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations. Revenue of approximately $842,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to approximately $752,000 for the same period in 2010, represents interest income on the secured commercial loans that we offer to small businesses, and $189,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to $161,000 for the same period in 2010.  The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and, generally, accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the businesses.
 
Interest expense
 
Interest expense on loans, the line of credit and senior secured notes for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $84,000 compared to $22,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the issuance of senior secured notes, the line of credit and short term loans in order to increase our ability to make loans. (See notes 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report).
 
General and administrative expense
 
General and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $596,000 compared to approximately $507,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $89,000, or 17.6%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in payroll expenses due to restoration of our CEO’s salary in June 2010, the amortization of the deferred financing costs, and increases in professional fees and board member fees, offset by the decrease in equity-based compensation expense and in office rent.
 
Other income
 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 we had other income in the amount of approximately $71,000, which represents fees from the sale of a buy back option to the seller of certain real property we purchased in March 2011 (See note 4 to the consolidated financial statements which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report), compared to other income of approximately $156,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, consisting mainly of the realized gain on the sale of marketable securities that were previously marked down of $151,000 and dividend and interest income of approximately $4,000.
 
Income tax expense
 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 we had income tax expense of approximately $157,000 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 we had income tax expense of approximately $187,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,263,000 and working capital of approximately $5,918,000 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $386,000 and working capital of $8,034,000 at December 31, 2010. The increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects a higher rate of loan collections and the issuance of short term loans we took in the amount of approximately $1,159,000, offset by an increase in lending operations and our investment in real estate in the amount of $675,000, which was offset by the proceeds of approximately $381,000 upon the partial exercise of option by the option holder (See note 4 to the consolidated financial statements which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report). The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to the reclassification of certain short term loans to long term loans receivable.
 
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net cash provided by operating activities were approximately $304,000 and $110,000, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 consisted primarily of net income of approximately $265,000, amortization of the deferred financing costs of approximately $27,000, non cash compensation expenses of approximately $48,000, an increase in deferred origination fees of approximately $28,000, and a decrease in interest receivable on short term loans of approximately $28,000, offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $40,000 and in income taxes payable of approximately $47,000. In the period ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of net income of approximately $352,000, and non cash compensation expenses of approximately $59,000, offset by a realized gain on marketable securities that were previously marked down of approximately $151,000, an increase in other current and non current assets of approximately $47,000, and a decrease in deferred origination fees of approximately $62,000.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $586,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $158,000 for the period ended September 30, 2010. Net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of the issuance of the our short term commercial loans in the amount of approximately $6,504,000, offset by collection of these loans in the amount of $6,212,000 and the investment in real estate in the amount of approximately $675,000, which was offset by the proceeds of approximately $381,000 upon the partial exercise of option by the option holder. In the period ended September 30, 2010 net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of the issuance of the our short term commercial loans in the amount of approximately $3,912,000, offset by collection of these loans in the amount of $3,323,000 and proceeds from sale of marketable securities in the amount of approximately 432,000.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $1,159,000 as compared to $300,000 for the period ended September 30, 2010. This increase reflects the issuance of senior secured notes and short term loans. (See notes 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report).
 
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect liquidity or the availability of our requirements for capital resources.
 
We anticipate that our current cash balances will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months.  However, we expect our working capital requirements to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to strive for growth.

Item 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On September 9, 2011, upon shareholders approval, we granted 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock (the “Restricted Shares”) to Mr. Assaf Ran, our President and Chief Executive Officer.  Under the terms of the Restricted Shares agreement (the “Restricted Shares Agreement”), Mr. Ran forfeited options for 280,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices above $1.21 per share that were previously granted to him and agreed that he will not exercise options for an additional 210,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices below $1.21 per share (the “Remaining Options”).  Until their expiration, Mr. Ran will be required to forfeit approximately 4.76 Restricted Shares for each share issued to him upon any exercise of the Remaining Options.  In addition, Mr. Ran may not sell, convey, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Shares until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) September 9, 2026, with respect to 1/3 of the Restricted Shares, September 9, 2027 with respect to an additional 1/3 of the Restricted Shares and September 9, 2028 with respect to the final 1/3 of the Restricted Shares; (ii) the date on which Mr. Ran’s employment with us is terminated for any reason other than for “Cause” (as defined in the Restricted Shares Agreement);or (iii) the date on which Mr. Ran’s employment is terminated on account of his death or disability (each such date being referred to as a “Risk Termination Date”).  If at any time prior to a Risk Termination Date either we terminate Mr. Ran’s employment for Cause or Mr. Ran voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason other than death or disability, Mr. Ran will forfeit that portion of the Restricted Shares which have not previously vested.  Mr. Ran will have the power to vote the Restricted Shares and will be entitled to all dividends payable with respect to the Restricted Shares from the date the Restricted Shares are issued.

In connection with the Compensation Committee’s approval of the foregoing grant of Restrict Shares, Mr. Ran had advised the Compensation Committee that he would not seek future stock option grants and the Committee indicated that it had no present intention of continuing its prior practice of annually awarding stock options to Mr. Ran as CEO.

The grant of Restricted Shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The stock certificates for the Restricted Shares were imprinted with restrictive legends and are held in escrow until vesting occurs.
