they were more or less a shell company as staff had already left to other studios (e.g studio trigger)

Until a week and change ago, apparently they have ceased all operations... Anything animation related is kind of still going on under Gaina Studios which split from Gainax years ago. I think it just kept existing to manage the royalties and licensing of Evangelion and anything else they didn't sell to friends of people who managed to get on the board. And getting sued, mostly for dodging royalty payments.
