Hirose UK Reports Loss of £66,046 in 2019 Fiscal Year

Hirose Financial UK Ltd., an online provider of retail foreign exchange (forex) trading, has published its financial results for its latest fiscal year, ended March 31, 2019, through the UK’s Companies House.

During the 12 months ended March 31, 2019, the firm, which is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) reported a total loss for the year of £66,046. Although still a loss, it is considerably lower than the loss the company reported in its 2018 fiscal year, which was £204,616.

Despite the fact that the UK-based company is still operating at a loss, it is managing to consistently reduce that loss. As Finance Magnates reported previously, in the 2017 fiscal year, the firm lost a total of £611,078. This represents an approximately 67 percent reduction to the £204,616 loss reported in 2018.
