As a result of the Sarbannes Oxley Law of 2002 most companies send a 10K report to all shareholder combining it with their annual report. Recent annual reports/10K reports are available from the web sites of most publicly-held companies.
- Mergent Archives Annual report section contains PDF’s of annual reports for US companies some going back as far as the 1920’s. | Since 1909 Moody’s and its successor Mergent, have produced reports on publicly traded companies, derived from various sources. These reports are valuable for their consistency and duration and may be the sole source in the Library of financial information in the absence of shareholder’s reports. Images of these reports are available on the Mergent Archives platform, arranged according to the very broad industry segments represented by the published Manuals, i.e. Industrial, Transportation, Bank & Finance, etc. These continue to be added to the Archives platform.

- Alternative Sources, especially pre-1952 | A scarcer source of financial information about public companies is the microfilm set of Listing Statements of the New York Stock Exchange (Call number *ZAN-T646). Beginning in 1884 these statements publish financial and other information required prior to a company’s listing on the NYSE, a little like an IPO statement. The Library subscribed to this compilation until 1968. Identification of the reel containing your company requires the use of the Index, a copy of which appears here: http://libguides.mit.edu/ld.php?content_id=6600288.
- The Securities Exchange Commission (http://www.sec.gov/) | All publicly held companies are required to file annual financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All current reports are available at SEC's EDGAR Database - http://edgar.sec.gov/. Earlier 10-K reports are available in microform from 1978 to 1996 in the call number *XLF-456. They are available on Mergent Online (EIC) from 1996 to date; and through the SEC's EDGAR database. Complete retrospective 10-K reports are only available from the Security and Exchange Commission in Washington, DC, Telephone: 202-942-8090.

Transfer Agents
Companies that have publicly traded securities typically use transfer agents to keep track of the individuals and entities that own their stocks and bonds. Most transfer agents are banks or trust companies, but sometimes a company acts as its own transfer agent.
Transfer agents perform three main functions:
- Issue and cancel certificates to reflect changes in ownership. For example, when a company declares a stock dividend or stock split, the transfer agent issues new shares.
- Act as an intermediary for the company. A transfer agent may also serve as the company’s paying agent to pay out interest, cash and stock dividends, or other distributions to stock- and bondholders.
- Handle lost, destroyed, or stolen certificates. Transfer agents help shareholders and bondholders when a stock or bond certificate has been lost, destroyed, or stolen.
