Note:
In the year 1937, October 1st was adopted as the start of the fiscal year instead of April 1st. This change led to closing the accounts
of this year up to April 30, 1937 at the end of September 1937, so that they could be opened on October 1st. Thus, the year 1937 appears in the
attached statistics table in a semi-annual format only.
