Hello again David, and thanks for being patient.
As I mentioned earlier, ownership in American Mobile Dental would NOT
have to be reported to the SEC as long as the company continues its
listing on the Pink Sheets.
Here are the various information sources I used in compiling this answer.
=====
In case you haven't come across it, American Mobile Dental has a website at:
http://www.americanmobiledental.com/
and even has an Investor Relations page, though there's not a great
deal of information there.
However, you can call the company directly at 914-835-6004. I did,
and I found them quite willing to discuss their operations and
reporting status, within the constraints, of course, of not providing
insider information or otherwise offering investment advice.
The principals of American Mobile Dental do not have to file any
reports with the SEC, and neither would shareholders, no matter the
size of their holdings.
=====
American Mobile Dental is listed as pink sheet stock under the symbol
AMBD.PK. You can see a summary sheet of their company information at
Yahoo Finance:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AMBD.PK
There are a number of news articles and press releases highlighted on
the above page, and you can click on any one of them for additional
information.
On the left hand side of the page is the "More On AMBD.PK" column,
with a series of links, most of which are greyed-out, indicating there
is no information for the company in these categories. One of the
greyed-out links is the "SEC Filings" category:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/sec?s=AMBD.PK
which simply says: "SEC Filings -- There is no data available for AMBD.PK".
The reason there is no data is that there are no reports (which you
confirmed yourself when you searched the SEC site for the company
name). There are no reports because a small, pink sheet company like
AMBD.PK is exempt from SEC reporting requirements.
As a shareholder in the company, you would be covered by the same
exemptions -- if the company doesn't have to report, neither do you
(but again, please bear in mind the disclaimer -- you should get some
professional financial/legal advice before basing any decisions on the
information I've presented here).

Some basic information on the pink sheet exemptions can be found at pinksheets.com:

How do the Pink Sheets differ from the OTCBB?
The Pink Sheets and the OTCBB are competing quotation services for OTC
securities. The Pink Sheets is a privately owned company, while NASDAQ
operates the OTCBB. Unlike the OTCBB, issuers do not have to be fully
reporting companies with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
to be quoted on the Pink Sheets...
Who regulates the Pink Sheets?
Pink Sheets is neither a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Registered Stock Exchange nor a NASD broker/dealer. Pink Sheets is
considered a Non-exclusive Securities Information Processor and an
Interdealer Quotation System, for which registration is not required
under current securities laws...
Are there any filing requirements with the Pink Sheets for the issuers?
Issuers are not required to register securities with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), or be current in their reporting
requirements to be quoted on the Pink Sheets. Nor are issuers required
to file financial or other company information with the Pink Sheets...
==========
As you can see from the above, Pink Sheet companies are not covered by
SEC regulations, and by extension, shareholders of Pink Sheet stock
are exempted from any SEC reporting requirements as well.
I trust this is the information you were looking for.
However, before rating this answer, please let me know if you need any
additional information. Just post a Request for Clarification, and
I'll be happy to assist you further.
All the best in the new year...
