The distribution of the revenue segment is also noteworthy as out of the total revenue earned, the UK-based AFX group generated £1.71 million in revenue, which is more than four-fold increase from £410,000 the previous fiscal. The Cypriot brokerage has earned a total revenue of £2.04 million, compared to £1.24 million in the previous fiscal.
