Market activity was generally subdued in the first quarter and this is reflected in the Group's results by a 24.4% drop in commission income (13 week basis). This trend has continued into January 2012, but other income has held up well benefiting from the scale of the business and our focus on the individual requirements of our clients.
Our strategic initiatives continue to be implemented to plan and the benefits of moving to the new company-wide charging structure will now start to come through.
The Group's cash balances, excluding client balances, as at 31 December 2011 were £36.2 million. The capital adequacy surplus was £18.7million.
The value of clients' funds under the Group's management was as follows at 31 December 2011:
