Any budding accountants?

As the title - would anyone care to try and fathom out some figures for me?
I am puzzled as to the figures in this link http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/speedmanageme... do not appear to balance.
Towards the bottom of the page, it states (line 29) the number of notices of intended prosecuton issued, then below the number of fixed penalty notices issued.
One tends to lead to the other, and I am prepared to believe that sometimes one NIP might lead to two penalties - perhaps a number plate offence as well as the speeding... but a difference of thousands???
What am I missing here? A business case with a 5631% conversion into profit (qtr 1)??
There are another set of figures here:

Who says speed cameras are not a lucrative business!

NIPs will be more costly as they'll need to check the case and get is through the CPS presumably, whereas an FPN is just a letter the generates them £60 and you 3 points.
What would be a better stat is that NIPs constitute 1.8% of folk pinged. But then that would highlight what a small percentage of cases have adequate evidence to secure a prosecution.
Effectively it's saying that 98% of speeding tickets are based on evidence that would fail in court.
