The company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 4.17, indicating robust short-term financial health.

The company reported $94.5 million in cash and securities as of June 30. Its board approved a one-time dividend of approximately $0.22 per common share, totaling about $4.1 million.

The company also reported making seven senior strategic hires to strengthen leadership across key practice areas and expand sector coverage in areas including Real Estate, Healthcare, Digital Assets, and several other industries.
"We have refocused on our strengths as a mid-market merchant bank, stabilized and strengthened key teams, and begun to recapture meaningful momentum in our core business lines," Baker added.
