Total assets were $1.146 million, consisting mainly of investments in money market mutual funds of $1.076 million and cash and cash equivalents of $13,000, with stockholders’ equity of $1.046 million. Interest and other income, net declined to $10,000 from $31,000, while operating expenses edged down to $271,000 from $287,000.

The company reports no director or equity compensation for 2025 because it previously terminated compensation for non-employee directors while it remains a shell company.
