Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 87% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
