Apple Files 2011 Annual Report With SEC

Apple filed it’s 2011 annual report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange commission today, reports MacRumors. The filing is extensive, and reveals several interesting bits of information about the company and its future decisions.

The company reveals that it now has over 60,000 full time employees, 36,000 of which are in the retail devision, has added 40 new retail stores, spent $242 million more than last year, and notable, that Apple will not be offering dividends or stock buybacks to its investors any time soon, and will be retaining all of its earnings to further Apple’s operations.

The document also goes on to list patent disputes as a potential risk factor for investors, and details the company’s shipment and revenue details, which were revealed in their recent Q4 2011 earnings call, as well as sales numbers by product area, all of which showed a significant decrease (except for the iPod, which reflected decreased sales).

The full report can be found at the SEC.gov archives. Apple closed at $400.60 today, up 0.71% from yesterday’s close.
