Overall the Group is well capitalised and as at 30 June 2014 had net cash resources and amounts due from brokers amounting to £17.7m.

Commenting on the results, Kevin Ashby, Chief Executive, said:

"The results for the half year reflect the Company's current concentration on the competitive UK market and a period of low market volatility. During the period, the company completed the deployment of its new trading platform and is undertaking a restructuring programme to align the cost base with the current level of trading."

"As announced earlier this month, we look forward to the active involvement of Charles-Henri Sabet and deploying the substantial additional resources, to build out the Company's capabilities and product offerings, ‎strengthen our brand, develop a broader product and services offering, and attract a more diversified client base, both within the UK market and internationally."
