4th Quarter: the fourth Quarter ending September 30th,
is our year-end and the annual report is published in about
90 days after the end of the quarter.
Annual Meeting:
Shortly after the filing of our Form 10-K, we will prepare
an annual report to our shareholders. This annual report and
a proxy statement will then be mailed to shareholders inviting
shareholders to attend the annual meeting. The meeting is
generally held in February or March. The exact date is set
by the board of directors. The board can also call special
meetings of the shareholders to ask them to approve other
initiatives that it believes should be heard before the next
annual shareholders meeting.
Dividends:
The board of directors determines if the company should pay
a monthly dividend. They look at the prospects of declaring
a dividend every quarter. The board usually meets in the first
or second week of the end of each calendar quarter, that is
the first or second week of March, June, September and December.
At that meeting the board of directors determines if the company
should pay a dividend and if so, how much that dividend should
be. It is usual for the board to use the last business day
of the following three months, to set the record date for
the monthly dividends that are declared. And if a record date
is the last business day in the month, then the payment date
is a business day that is about 5 to 10 days after the record
date. For example, if the record date for a dividend were
the last business day of September, then the payment date
would usually be the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th of October.
Of course the board can change any of this general procedure.
