 Joe,  I am thinking about this this afternoon with more fresh mind than I had when I was working at it yesterday.  I am wondering if the phrase:

But according to statistical calculation, the Bank will always net a profit to cover costs up to the government limit - again we are in that sense not-for-profit, but in the sense of not-for-unlimited-profit.

Still doesn't make sense to me.  It still seems to me like the sentence reads that the bank is in not-for-profit AND not-for-unlimited profit (even though "but" is used.  I wonder what you think about this:

But according to statistical calculation, the Bank will always net a profit to cover costs up to the government limit - again we are in that sense not-for-profit, but not in the sense of unlimited profit.

I changed the wording avert "but" What do you think?
