SEC rule may nudge Google toward IPO | CNET News.com

That ruling I mentioned...
SEC rule may nudge Google toward IPO | CNET News.com: "A private company must report its finances once it has more than 500 common shareholders--or stock-option holders--and $10 million in assets, according to section XII(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. That means a private company must file quarterly forms with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that disclose operating expenses, profits, partnerships, shareholders and many other details--a laborious process that can cost as much as $2 million annually."
