In Jun 30, 2019, the debt-to-assets ratio was 0.01, suggesting that only 1% of the company's assets were financed by debt. This indicates a conservative approach to leverage, with a majority of the assets being financed through equity.

However, by Jun 30, 2022, there was a substantial decrease in the ratio to 0.19.
