Revenue increased by 30 percent to $24.9 million from $19.1 million recorded in the previous year.

Other major shareholders of CFI group as at June 27,2017 were Messina investment , EFE Securities Nominees and Willoughby’s consolidated limited with 18.7 percent, 11.6 percent and 3.9 percent respectively. –The Source
