As far as their financing, and employment situation, STS is a private company and isn't required to release any financial statements to the public, and I doubt that releasing their quarterly statements would benifet them in any positive way either.
If the company netted over a million in 2012 (they probably did) and the average forumer had access to that information it'd be a safe bet to say you'd see an influx of 'STS is greedy' complaints, and pointless arguments.
Having said that I wouldn't mind a little transparency; I've been fairly critical of some recent decisions and would like to have an idea of where their heads are at. After all I am a paying customer.
