• Your purchases are recorded when you use your Member Number
• Your purchases are totalled at year end (October 31)
• A portion of your purchases will be added to your Share Account, based on the Co-op's profits
• A percentage of your total Shares get paid out every year
• The balance gets carried forward to the next year and the process is repeated
