Using Report Options:

Display / Show table
will give you the text you want

General / [Start|End] Date = Today
or whatever date is appropriate for you will give you Net Worth at a point
in time (i.e. a balance sheet view so the graph doesn't have an x-axis over
time)

If you really, really don't want any graphs at all then you can try
reducing the
Display / Plot [Width|Height]
settings to their minimum values but I get jumbled output if I try that
here.

May I gently conclude that rather than a new report we could all do with
exploring those we have?  I found something new today too.
