EDGAR is the official database of the Securities and Exchange Commission where public company filings can be found.  This is the original information that forms the basis of the data offered by the other databases mentioned here.  Use this site if you want to dig into the data as it was submitted by the company to the SEC.

Search by company name or ticker symbol to see a list of filings, most recent first.  For annual financial statements, use the 10-K; for quarterly statements, use the 10-Q.
