I don't really know, but my best guess is that the money they have made from the ads and such up till now has let them expand into other areas like browsing on small media devices.  So maybe they can now charge companies for the use of their browser on those devices and so make profit in that fashion.  This is all purely guesswork on my part, but its the best theory I can come up with at the moment.

Desktop sales were never Opera's main source of income :)

They make most of their money from partnerships on the mobile platform, as well as the sale of Opera for mobile devices. On the desktop, most of their income comes from partnerships with search engines, such as Google. Every time you do a Google search from Opera's built-in search bar or through the "g <subject>" shortcut in the address bar, Google is happy with Opera.
