The organization over time

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $142k to $88k (−38%).

Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
