INSTRUCTIONS : QUARTERLY REPORT OF A PUBLIC COMPANY'S PERFORMANCE (Form 10-Q)

Form 10-Q is a United States Securities and Exchange commission form used for filing the mandatory quarterly report of a public company's performance. The form is a required quarterly filing which must provide investors with a yearly update of the companies financial standing.

The Form 10-Q can be obtained through the Securities and Exchange commission's website or by obtaining the documents through an SEC local office.
The first step is to fill out page 4 of the Form 10-Q, supplying the general information about the report and the company that is filing it.

1. List the quarterly period or transitional period for which the report is being filed.

2. Provide the place of incorporation, IRS employer identification number, and the address of principle executive offices.

3. Next, check the boxes indicating whether you are compliant with all other required filings and whether you have filed electronically for past reports.

4. On the next page, you will be required to go through each question, selecting yes or no in each corresponding box. Ensure that you answer each and every question in these sections.

5. The rest of the Form 10-Q provides detailed instructions on what is required for your quarterly report and specifically what needs to be included.

6. Ensure that your report includes all information stated in items 1 through 6. If your report lacks any of this information, your annual Form 10-Q will not be accepted by the SEC.

7. The final page of the form requires the signatures of all authorizing agents of the company. You must have the preparers of the report list their names and certify the report.

8. Before submission, double check that all requirements have been met in the report. Once complete, file the Form 10-Q with the SEC and provide access to the report for all shareholders to access.
