"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.

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.
