The one-time $625 million credit union, which ran afoul of a big portfolio of troubled member business loans, reported assets of just $301 million at the end of the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter Telesis had just $3.8 million in reserves and zero of undivided earnings, the two components of net worth for a credit union.

Telesis, taken under conservatorship by NCUA last month, has lost money for five straight years—a total of more than $64 million.
