Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.4M to $1.7M (+24%).

78% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
