Filings are on the OTC Markets page for Conrad. Here is the Q3 press release:

Odd timing. He wrote it and then the stock rallied 20% and then they announced the dividend he was predicting.

BTW, he neglected to mention or cite Credit Bubble Stocks which is by far and away the best source of information on Conrad.
