Knowing how much money is made, you may be able to get an idea of how much seigniorage, or profit, they are making. If some concerned citizens think they are making too much money, it could cause problems and calls to restrict their budget. Given that they said it would &quot;reveal their income statement,&quot; there are probably some politics around the budget that they want to avoid. Either that, or that&#039;s the line they&#039;ve been told to give you.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re dealing with politics and money, and government bureaucrats.
