The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $525k to $473k (−10%).
How it's funded, over time

Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.
