"Investors have taken some comfort from the statement by the eurozone last week but, as evident this week, there are many stages to go through before the package of measures is fully implemented.
"We therefore anticipate uncertain and volatile market conditions for at least the remainder of this year. However, as we saw post 2008/2009, once volatility subsides, investor demand for equities should return."
At the end of the period the firm had total assets of £736.4m (30 June: £727.4m) including cash of £166.5m (30 June: £156.0m).
The share price fell 3.58% to 110.3p by 13:13.
