Affirmed

“While there is work underway to develop ECW's functions under Local Authority control, ECW remains in a financially strong position and has shown over past years it's ability to adjust and flex resources according to the funding it receives. The combination of reserves from operating and investing activities amount to approximately £8.4M and the directors are assured of ECW's solvency for the foreseeable future.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
