They aren’t required to disclose their profits, but I think it’s good to know about it for the public, it’s simply a matter of transparency.

@Lenny
They haven’t CPM – most revenues come from the search deals where they earn a portion of the clicked ads on Google’s search page (or Yahoo’s in Asian area, where Yahoo! is the default search engine).
But, given that they disclosed the revenues for 2005 at the beginning of 2007, don’t expect the 2006-revenues to be disclosed very soon.

Can anybody direct me to their data usage and CPM? I can’t wait to see what they are going to disclose for 2006!

A non-profit should remain non-profit – they can repay back the donations, and still keep enough money as “reserve”.
