Form 10Q

There is so much paperwork involved in running a business that sometimes it is difficult to focus on the day-to-day needs of managing your company. Your SEC paperwork tends to be one of those little hassles, yet it's a necessary one. Form 10Q is one of the most important SEC documents.

Form 10Q is similar to Form 10K in the information it contains; however, Form 10Q needs to be filed quarterly as opposed to Form 10K, which needs to be filed annually. Typically, Form 10Q is filed at the end of the months January, June, September, and December. Changes to company rules, regulations, and policies need to be reported on this form. This form will also be accessible to investors seeking to determine if the potential offered by your company is where they wish to park their capital.

Form 10Q will have much the same information as your company's annual report, and it is a more detailed evaluation than Form 10K. The annual report discusses such things as branch offices, employees, products or services, and the financial information which paints the picture of the business' overall health and structure.

The 10Q report also gives an indication of how many shares of common stock are outstanding, the par value of that stock, shares held in treasury, and convertible preferred stock.

Your company's web site should include this information as it is important to your shareholders and future investors. While investors may look to your site, most will turn to EDGAR. The EDGAR (electronic, data gathering, analysis, and retrieval) database is an electronic filing system fashioned by the SEC to increase efficiency in filing these SEC forms and also to give greater accessibility to a company's information. This system and database are used by all publicly traded companies.
