A Form 10-K report is an annual report of all public companies in the United States. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEE) requires it each year and must be filed within 90 days after fiscal year-end. The report contains a thorough review of company performance. A similar report, but filed quarterly, is a form 10-Q report.
