Re: SEC Filings

Here is my understanding of the SEC 10-Q/10-K filing rules:

Reporting after end of last quarter of fiscal year: The company has 75 days in which to file its 10-K (For calendar year companies, roughly the Ides of March). No 10-Q is required.

Reporting after end of any other quarter: The company has 45 days in which to file its 10-Q.

A company that cannot make an SEC 10 filing must file the appropriate form "NT" no later than the original due date. An explanation for the delay must be provided. The two primary authors of explanation texts appear to the Stephen King and Tommy Finagle ("...yeah, that's the ticket!"). I rank NT filings between reverse splits and disconnected phones in my olfactory warning system.

These are the SEC minimum requirements. Many companies present a fourth quarter report to their shareholders (if they have anything worth reporting).

Contradictions welcome, but this understanding corresponds to what I have seen cruising the Edgar database for years.
