The question: has Item 7 (Financial Statements and Exhibits) of Form 8-K
(current reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the 34 Act) always been Item
7, Financial Statements and Exhibits? Was item 7 added subsequent to the
creation/adoption of Form 8-K? Was Item 7 at one time something else?
Sources I have checked:
every bloomin SEC release ever listed in connection with the adoption and
amendments to Form 8-K or Rules 13a or 15d
every bloomin Federal Register notice related to 17 CFR 249.308,
240.13a-11, or 240.15d-11
old SEC forms books and treatises
old CCH FSLR transfer binders

The folks at LiveEdgar were unable to help. And pulling an old Form 8-K
won't do it either cos A) you have to file a request to get such copies
(with someone, I don't remember whom) and B) prior to Edgar, companies
frequently filed reports incorrectly
I also have a phone call in to the SEC.
Is this truly as difficult as I'm finding it? Surely I'm missing something
simple? I know that Form 8-K has been referred to as the forgotten stepchild
of SEC reporting (that's from Bloomenthal and Wolff's Securities and Federal
Corporate Law, BTW), but isn't there any way to trace the development of
reporting forms? Not the reporting requirements, or rules and regs of
reporting, but the forms themselves?
As far as I know there is no source that offers annotations to the contents
of reporting forms.
Anyone?
