Apple to delay annual SEC filings

Apple-SECIt’s the end of the year, and that can only mean one thing: 10-K annual reports for the Securities and Exchange Commission! If you’re reaching for the scroll wheel with a yawn, well, allow me to express my pity for you. There’s little more fascinating than a company’s fiscal record of the past year; it’s the kind of reading that makes War & Peace look dull. Why, there’s nothing better than sitting myself down by a cozy fire and thumbing—holy crap, I just lost my own attention.

Yes, 10-K annual reports are pretty boring—ceiling-tile-counting boring, actually. But it’s our sworn duty to fill you in on the pertinent Apple news, so somewhere I have to fit in this little nugget: Apple has delayed filing their annual report because of the stock options irregularities relating to past option grants. Don’t panic! The report will be missing the December 14th deadline, but they’re hoping to have it in by December 29th. Whew. Close one.

And to those who didn’t think that annual fiscal reports could be interesting, did you or did you not just read everything I wrote above? Sucka.

Dan, I had to write to let you know that, at least somebody read your story. That bit about losing your own attention was hilarious.
