The federal securities laws require publicly reporting companies to disclose information on an ongoing basis. For example, domestic issuers must submit annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K for a number of specified events and must comply with a variety of other disclosure requirements.

The Form 10-Q includes unaudited financial statements and provides a continuing view of the company's financial position during the year. The report must be filed for each of the first three fiscal quarters of the company's fiscal year.

You'll find a company's Form 10-Q filings in the SEC's EDGAR database. To filter your results, simply enter “10-Q” in the Filing Type box. To see a blank version of the form (with instructions), you can download this PDF version.
