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 $7.0M to $15M (+113%).

91% 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.
