AmBase Corporation reported its financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2025, revealing a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This marks an improvement from a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.02 per share, in the same period of 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the company recorded a net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a loss of $5.3 million, or $0.08 per share, for the corresponding period in the previous year. The reduction in losses is attributed to decreased operating expenses, particularly in professional and outside services, which fell to $2.5 million from $4.0 million year-over-year.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $985,000, down from $1.5 million in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower compensation and benefits expenses, which amounted to $324,000 compared to $345,000 in the prior year. The company also reported a significant reduction in professional and outside services expenses, which were $588,000 for the quarter, down from $1.1 million in 2024. Despite these reductions, the company continues to face challenges, including a substantial accumulated deficit of $560.3 million as of September 30, 2025.
AmBase's total assets decreased to $239,000 as of September 30, 2025, from $314,000 at the end of 2024, primarily due to a decline in cash and cash equivalents. The company's liabilities increased to $8.1 million, up from $4.4 million at the end of the previous year, largely due to increased loans payable to related parties. Notably, loans payable to R.A. Bianco, the company's CEO, rose to $3.2 million from $1.5 million, reflecting ongoing financial support for working capital needs.
The company continues to engage in litigation related to its investment in the 111 West 57th Property, which has been a significant source of its financial challenges. AmBase has recorded an impairment of its equity investment in this property, which was valued at $63.7 million in 2017. The ongoing legal disputes have led to increased legal expenses, although these have decreased in 2025 compared to the previous year. The company is exploring options for litigation funding to cover ongoing legal costs, with potential funding of up to $5 million.
Looking ahead, AmBase management has expressed concerns about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, citing substantial doubt regarding its financial viability over the next twelve months. The company plans to manage its cash flow through various strategies, including potential capital raises and cost reductions. However, there is no assurance that these measures will be successful, and the company remains focused on recovering value from its legal proceedings related to the 111 West 57th Property.
