The industrial assets division saw an increase in operating income to $1 million, up from $800,000 in the prior year, driven by enhanced inventory and faster sales at stronger price points.

Consolidated operating income decreased to $1.4 million in Q1 2025 from $2.6 million in Q1 2024.
The financial assets division reported a decline in operating income to $1.7 million from $2.9 million in the previous year, partly due to decreased revenue recognition related to loans in non-accrual status.
The appraisal business had a slow start, generating $300,000 to $400,000 less than anticipated, impacting segment comparisons negatively.
Net income decreased to $1.1 million or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $1.8 million or $0.05 per diluted share in Q1 2024.
The specialty lending segment was a primary driver of decreased operating income due to structural changes and efforts to improve collection rates.
