They're a private company, any information they disclose if of their own free will. This means they probably won't share any information.

All companies in the UK have to file their financial statements (The balance sheet, the profit and loss and a statement of cash flow) within 6 months of the businesses financial year or face fines.

These reports are filled to Companies House which can be viewed by the public for a small fee, I think it's £0.99 to download them. The reports have to be externally audited before filing to ensure accuracy, which is why it can take time to file them and hence why companies are given 6 months to submit them.

Jagex's year end is 31st March I believe so they have until the end of September to file them, last year they were late in filing them and they did get fined but the fine is actually really small. I'd have to pull out my books to find the actual price but it's like £750 for a month late and up to £8,000 for over 6 months late so while avoiding that fine would be nice it's not exactly going to break the bank if they do submit it late.

Don't expect them to be released to the public until around October time.

The previous 2 full years now shown as well as this latest report. I have not included year end 31.12.2011 as Jagex changed their year end date this period and it is a 9 month period which includes some one off exceptional loss items so will be of poor use in comparison purposes. And yes the gross profit is down from 24 to 12m. The post tax is almost wiped out.
