Investment Management commissions increased by 13%.

Against this, other operating income, the Group’s share of interest receivable on client deposits, decreased by 42%, in line with falling interest rates and expectations.

The Group strengthened its capital position by £13.8 million through a well supported placing of its shares in late December 2009. Following this, the Group currently has a consolidated capital adequacy surplus of £26 million. Under FSA rules this surplus will reduce by approximately £8m on the conclusion of the negotiations with the Brewin Dolphin pension trustees.

The improved trading conditions seen in the first quarter continue.
