The receipts from membership fees are not included in this table, which presents the results of the trading operations of the Society. In the years prior to 1902-03 the receipts from interest and from discount for cash payments are deducted from the cost of merchandise, and included in calculating the percentages of profit. As such receipts are not strictly receipts from trading operations, this is not done in 1902-03.
