Re: Private company stockholder rights
You have the right to receive financial statements from the corporation. Noramlly these are done quarterly, bi-annually or anually and distributed to all shareholders.
Additionally, you should read the by-laws of the corporation to find out about voting rights; check and see if there are more than one class of stock.
I am certain we can assist you at contacting the corporation and seeing where to go from there. Please feel free to contact me at the email provided by Lawguru or through our firm's site at RulesOfEmployment.com.

If you do not know what is going on with the company financially, do you know if there may be other things wrong. Let me know if you want help.

Re: Private company stockholder rights
You have the right to receive financial information from the company regarding how it's doing. This, and other stockholder rights, should be detailed in the by-laws of the company and should have been explained to you when you purchased the stock. I think the by-laws are a good place to start.
