Wiki says they are still required to file with the SEC and provided this link. There is a PDF there of the quarterly and also the annual financial position:
Access Denied As far as I can tell from the annual report, they haven't had a profitable year since 2012. However, after a staggering $1 billion loss in 2013, their losses have gotten much less bad every year since. Last year's loss was only 36 million on 11 billion in sales.

I personally love TRU its a sad truth that brick and mortar stores are becoming obsolete. A semi local chain of Stores named Benny's announced they were closing their doors after 93 years & I just finished watching a Colin Hanks documentary on Tower Records and was reminiscing on the good old days of record shops. All I know is that as more and more brick and mortar shops close I am forced to turn to online purchasing as it becomes harder and harder to find the things I want to buy. TRU is one of very few stores that is still around from my childhood and that I love bringing my Son to every week. I have some great memories of roaming the vast Isles Child palace, Kay bee toys, TRU and more. If we loose TRU all kids will have is 3 isles at Target or Wal-Mart etc that sucks.

Online is crushing a lot of B&M stores like TRU and Barnes and Nobles. I was in a B&N last weekend and nearly half the store was toys and games. They are trying to find revenue anywhere they can.
I still enjoy going to TRU with my kids but I rarely bought Joes there even when they were available. The 25th line destroyed the thrill of the hunt for me. When you drive around for hours burning gas only to come up empty handed again and again, then BBTS, where they charge a small premium, becomes increasingly attractive. |

Across the board on various items, Amazon has things in stock with free shipping that ToysRUs fails to keep in stock or only offer in store pick-up. It's simple, your biggest competitor is beating you at your own game and you've failed to remedy the situation.

Hope they survive. Come on Hasbro, revive GI Joe with a cartoon and a big wall of cool Joe/Cobra merch and help give kids more reasons to drag the folks in to TRU!

Well, TRU also has free shipping and it's the same thing that Amazon also has. You buy one to quite a few items to a certain amount of money to qualify for free shipping. TRU has 2 online outlets, theirs and the one on eBay. Granted that what they sell on eBay is just about half of what they sell on their website.

"In the filing made with the court Wednesday the company argues the bonuses are necessary to get executives to perform at a high level during its bankruptcy." You need a sh*t-ton of extra money to "perform at a high level" to save the company you run from bankruptcy? How about pride in your work? How about gratitude for the already obscene amount of money you're already being paid?? How about f*cking loyalty to the 65,000 employees who may lose their jobs if you f*ck up??? No pride, no loyalty, no concern for your fellow American or fellow man, all greed, greed, greed.
