Form 10-Q

What is it: Form 10-Q is filed by publicly traded companies (except foreign private issuers, which file Form 6-K instead) quarterly (1st to 3rd quarter, the 4th quarter result is included in annual report) to disclose their financial conditions. Form 10-Q requires companies to provide financial statement, manager's discussion of financial condition, disclose mark risk, etc. Usually the form is unaudited, as compared with Form 10-K.

Filing Time: Within 40 days for large accelerated filers and accelerated filers or 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter for all other registrants
