Operating expenses totaled $1,975,875 for the year, down from $3,718,633 in 2023. The decrease was attributed to reduced legal, accounting, payroll, and director fees, as well as the absence of stock-based compensation expenses.
Net investment gain for 2024 was $1,325,244, compared to a net investment loss of $419,998 in 2023. The improvement was primarily due to the absence of stock-based compensation expenses in 2024.
The company's net assets increased by $1,167,726 as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to the reduction in operating expenses.
Mill City Ventures' investment portfolio at the end of 2024 was valued at $13,453,561, with $13,006,231 in short-term non-banking loans and $447,330 in common stock.

The company terminated its $5 million revolving line of credit in January 2024 and expects its cash and cash equivalents to be sufficient to fund operations through 2025.
Mill City Ventures identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting, related to the proper accounting for transactions in accordance with GAAP, and plans to remediate this by retaining an accounting expert.
