required ofering circular, provides alternative formats, of which the
issuer must choose one. General informa- tion regarding the preparation,
format, content, and submission or fling of the ofering statement is
contained in Rule 252. Information regarding non-public submission of the
ofering statement is contained in Rule 252(d).

232) for such submission or fling.
III. Incorporation by Reference and Cross-Referencing.

submitted or fled on EDGAR. Cross-referencing within the ofering statement
is also encouraged to avoid repetition of information. For exam- ple, you
may respond to an item of this Form by providing a cross-reference to the
location of the information in the fnancial statements, instead of

referencing are subject to the following additional conditions:

disclosure contents of ofering circulars are specifed as follows:
(1) Te information required by:
(i) the Ofering Circular format described below; or
(ii) Te information required by Part I of Form S-1 (17 CFR
239.11) or Part I of Form S-11 (17 CFR 239.18), except for the fnancial
statements, selected fnancial data, and supplementary fnancial infor-
mation called for by those forms. An issuer choosing to follow the Form
S-1 or Form S-11 format may follow the requirements for smaller reporting
companies if it meets the defnition of that term in Rule 405 (17 CFR
230.405). An issuer may only use the Form S-11 format if the ofering is
eligible to be registered on that form;
Te cover page of the ofering circular must identify which disclosure
format is being followed.
(2) Te ofering circular must describe any matters that would have
triggered disqualifcation under Rule 262(a)(3) or (a)(5) but for the
provisions set forth in Rule 262(b)(1);
(3) Te legend required by Rule 253(f) of Regulation A must be
included on the ofering circular cover page (for issuers following the S-
1 or S-11 disclosure models this legend must be included instead of the
legend required by Item 501(b)(7) of Regulation S-K);
(4) For preliminary ofering circulars, the legend required by Rule
254(a) must be included on the of- fer- ing circular cover page (for
issuers following the S-1 or S-11 disclosure models, this legend must be
included instead of the legend required by Item 501(b)(10) of Regulation
S-K); and
(5) For Tier 2 oferings where the securities will not be listed on
a registered national securities ex- change upon qualifcation, the
ofering circular cover page must include the following legend
highlighted by prominent type or in another manner:
Generally, no sale may be made to you in this ofering if the
aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your
annual income or net worth. Diferent rules apply to accredited investors
and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your
invest- ment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to

invest- ing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.
(b) Te Commission encourages the use of management?s projections of

(c) Ofering circulars need not follow the order of the items or the order
of other requirements of the dis- closure form except to the extent
otherwise specifcally provided. Such information may not, however, be set
forth in such a fashion as to obscure any of the required information or
any information necessary to keep the required information from being
incomplete or misleading. Information requested to be presented in a
specifed tabular format must be given in substantially the tabular format
specifed. For incorporation by reference, please refer to General
Instruction III of this Form.

the detailed information in the ofering circular.
(b) Immediately following the Table of Contents required by Item 2 or the
Summary, there must be set forth under an appropriate caption, a carefully
organized series of short, concise paragraphs, summarizing the most

obligation is whether the underwriters are or will be committed to take and
to pay for all of the securities if any are taken, or whether it is merely an
agency or the type of best eforts arrangement under which the underwriters
are required to take and to pay for only such securi- ties as they may sell
to the public. Conditions precedent to the underwriters' taking the
securities, including market outs, need not be described except in the case

securityholder is an entity, disclosure of the persons who have sole or
shared voting or investment power must be included.
(e) Describe any arrangements for the return of funds to subscribers if
all of the securities to be ofered are not
sold. If there are no such arrangements, so state.

ofering to a seller.
Item 6. Use of Proceeds to Issuer

together with a statement of the amount of proceeds not so allocated.
2. State whether or not the proceeds will be used to compensate or
otherwise make payments to ofcers or directors of the issuer or any of its
subsidiaries.
3. For best eforts oferings, describe any anticipated material
changes in the use of proceeds if all of the securities being qualifed on
the ofering statement are not sold.
4. If an issuer must provide the disclosure described in Item 9(c)
the use of proceeds and plan of opera- tions should be consistent.
5. If any material amounts of other funds are to be used in
conjunction with the proceeds, state the amounts and sources of such

from whom they are to be acquired and set forth the basis used in
determining the purchase price to the issuer.
8. Te issuer may reserve the right to change the use of proceeds, so long
as the reservation is promi- nently disclosed in the section where the use
of proceeds is discussed. It is not necessary to describe the pos- sible
alternative
uses of proceeds unless the issuer believes that a change in circumstances
leading to an alter- native use of proceeds is likely to occur.
Item 7. Description of Business
(a) Narrative description of business.
(1) Describe the business done and intended to be done by the

suppliers of raw materials or fnancing), efect of existing or probable
governmental regulation (including environmental regulation), material
terms of and/or expiration of material labor contracts or patents,
trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions or royalty agreements,
unusual competitive conditions in the indus- try, cyclicality of the
industry and anticipated raw material or energy shortages to the extent
management may not be able to secure a continuing source of supply.
(b) [Reserved]

Item 9. Management?s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Discuss the issuer?s fnancial condition, changes in fnancial condition and
results of operations for each year and interim period for which fnancial
statements are required, including the causes of material changes from year
to year or period to period in fnancial statement line items, to the
extent necessary for an understanding of the issuer?s business as a whole.
Information provided also must relate to the segment information of the
issuer. Pro- vide the information specifed below as well as such other
information that is necessary for an investor?s under- standing of the
issuer?s fnancial condition, changes in fnancial condition and results of
operations.
(a) Operating results. Provide information regarding signifcant factors,
including unusual or infrequent events or transactions or new
developments, materially afecting the issuer?s income from operations,
and, in each case, indicating the extent to which income was so afected.
Describe any other signifcant component of rev- enue or expenses
necessary to understand the issuer?s results of operations. To the extent
that the fnancial state- ments disclose material changes in net sales or
revenues, provide a narrative discussion of the extent to which such
changes are attributable to changes in prices or to changes in the volume
or amount of products or services being sold or to the introduction of
new products or services.
Instruction to Item 9(a):
1. Te discussion and analysis shall focus specifcally on material events
and uncertainties known to manage- ment that would cause reported fnancial
information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results
or of future fnancial condition. Tis would include descriptions and amounts
of (A) matters that would have an impact on future operations that have not
had an impact in the past, and (B) matters that have had an impact on
reported operations that are not expected to have an impact upon future
operations.
2. Where the consolidated fnancial statements reveal material changes
from year to year in one or more line items, the causes for the changes
shall be described to the extent necessary to an understanding of the
issuer?s busi- nesses as a whole. If the causes for a change in one line
item also relate to other line items, no repetition is required and a
line-by-line analysis of the fnancial statements as a whole is not required
or generally appropriate. Issuers need not recite the amounts of changes
from year to year which are readily computable from the fnancial state-
ments. Te discussion must not merely repeat numerical data contained in
the consoli- dated fnancial statements.
3. When interim period fnancial statements are included, discuss any
material changes in fnancial condition from the end of the preceding fscal
year to the date of the most recent interim balance sheet provided. Discuss
any material changes in the issuer?s results of operations with respect to
the most recent fscal year-to-date period for
which a statement of comprehensive income (or statement of net income if
comprehensive income is presented in two separate but consecutive fnancial
statements or if no other comprehensive income) is provided and the
correspond- ing year-to-date period of the preceding fscal year.
(b) Liquidity and capital resources. Provide information regarding the
following:
(1) the issuer?s liquidity (both short and long term), including a
description and evaluation of the internal and external sources of
liquidity and a brief discussion of any material unused sources of
liquidity. If a material defciency in liquidity is identifed, indicate the
course of action that the issuer has taken or proposes to take to remedy
the defciency.
(2) the issuer?s material commitments for capital expenditures as of
the end of the latest fscal year and any subsequent interim period and an
indication of the general purpose of such commitments and the antic- ipat-
ed sources of funds needed to fulfll such commitments.
(c) Plan of Operations. Issuers (including predecessors) that have not
received revenue from operations during each of the three fscal years
immediately before the fling of the ofering statement (or since inception,
which- ever is shorter) must describe, if formulated, their plan of
operation for the 12 months following the commence- ment of the proposed
ofering. If such information is not available, the reasons for its
unavailability must be stated. Disclosure relating to any plan must
include, among other things, a statement indicating whether, in the
issuer?s opinion, the proceeds from the ofering will satisfy its cash
requirements or whether it anticipates it will be necessary to raise
additional funds in the next six months to implement the plan of
operations.
(d) Trend information. Te issuer must identify the most signifcant recent
trends in production, sales and inventory, the state of the order book and
costs and selling prices since the latest fnancial year. Te issuer also must
discuss, for at least the current fnancial year, any known trends,
uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely
to have a material efect on the issuer?s net sales or revenues, income
from con- tinuing operations, proftability, liquidity or capital
resources, or that would cause reported fnancial information not
necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or fnancial
condition.

be included as to the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by the
individual in prior positions to provide adequate disclosure of this prior
business experience. What is required is informa- tion relating to the
level of the employee?s professional competence, which may include,
depending upon the circumstances, such specifc information as the size of
the operation supervised.

paid persons who were executive ofcers or directors and the aggregate
annual compensation of the issuer?s directors may be provided as a group,
rather than as specifed in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this item. In such
case, issuers must specify the total number of persons in the group.
(d) Briefy describe all proposed compensation to be made in the future
pursuant to any ongoing plan or

interests in transactions. A per- son who has a position or relationship
with a frm, corporation, or other entity which engages in a transaction with
the issuer or its subsidiaries may have an indirect interest in such
transaction by reason of the position or relationship. How- ever, a person
is deemed not to have a material indirect interest in a transaction within
the meaning of this item where:
(a) the interest arises only (i) from the person?s position as a
director of another corporation or organization (other than a
partnership) that is a party to the transaction, or (ii) from the direct
or indirect
ownership by the person and all other persons specifed in paragraphs (1)

partner in a partnership in which the person and all other persons
specifed in paragraphs (1) through (5) of this item had an interest of

equity interest (unless the equity interest confers management rights
similar to a general partner interest) or a creditor interest in another
person that is a party to the transaction with the issuer or any of its
subsidiaries and the transaction is not material to the other person.
4. Include the name of each person whose interest in any transaction is
described and the nature of the rela- tionships by reason of which such
interest is required to be described. Te amount of the interest of any
specifed person must be computed without regard to the amount of the proft
or loss involved in the transaction. Where it is not practicable to state
the approximate amount of the interest, the approximate amount involved in
the transaction must be disclosed.
5. Information must be included as to any material underwriting discounts
and commissions upon the sale of
securities by the issuer where any of the specifed persons was or is to be
a principal underwriter or is a controlling person, or member, of a frm
which was or is to be a principal underwriter. Information need not
be given concerning ordinary management fees paid by underwriters to a
managing underwriter pursuant to an agreement among underwriters, the
parties to which do not include the issuer or its subsidiaries.

seller.
7. Information must be included in answer to this item with respect to
transactions not excluded above which involve compensation from the issuer
or its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to any of the specifed per-
sons for services in any capacity unless the interest of such persons
arises solely from the ownership individu- ally and in the aggregate of
less than 10 percent of any class of equity securities of another
corporation furnish- ing the services to the issuer or its subsidiaries.
(b) If any expert named in the ofering statement as having prepared or
certifed any part of the ofering state- ment was employed for such
purpose on a contingent basis or, at the time of such preparation or
certif- cation or at any time thereafer, had a material interest in the
issuer or any of its parents or subsidiaries or was connected with the
issuer or any of its subsidiaries as a promoter, underwriter, voting
trustee, director, ofcer or employee, describe the nature of such
contingent basis, interest or connection.

ofering circular that is distributed to investors.
(2) Unless the issuer is a Canadian company, fnancial statements must be
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States (US GAAP). If the issuer is a Canadian com- pany, such
fnancial statements must be prepared in accordance with either US GAAP or
International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB). If the fnancial statements comply with IFRS, such
compliance must be explicitly and unreservedly stated in the notes to the
fnancial statements and if the fnancial statements are audited, the
auditor?s report must include an opinion on whether the fnancial
statements comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
(3) Te issuer may elect to delay complying with any new or revised
fnancial accounting standard until the date that a company that is not an
issuer (as defned under section 2(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(15
U.S.C. 7201(a)) is required to comply with such new or revised accounting
standard, if such standard also applies to companies that are not issuers.
Issuers electing such extension of time accommodation must disclose it at
the time the issuer fles its ofering statement and apply the election to
all standards. Issuers electing not to use this accommodation must forgo
this accommodation for all fnancial accounting standards and may not elect
to rely on this accommodation in any future flings.

including (b)(7), need not be pre- pared in accordance with Regulation
S-X.

(b)(7), need not be audited. If the fnancial statements are not audited,
they shall be labeled as ?unaudited?. However, if an audit of these
fnancial statements is obtained for other purposes and that audit was
performed in accordance with either U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards or the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board by an auditor that is independent pursuant to either the
independence standards of the American Institute of Certi- fed Public
Accountants (AICPA) or Rule 2 01 of Regulation S-X, those audited fnancial
statements must be fled, and an audit opinion complying with Rule 2-02 of
Regulation S-X must be fled along with such fnancial
statements. Te auditor may, but need not, be registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board.
(3) Consolidated Balance Sheets. Age of balance sheets at fling and at
qualifcation:
(A) If the fling is made, or the ofering statement is qualifed, more than
three months but no more than nine months afer the most recently completed
fscal year end, include a balance sheet as of the two most recently
completed fscal year ends.
(B) If the fling is made, or the ofering statement is qualifed, more than
nine months afer the most recently completed fscal year end, include a
balance sheet as of the two most recently completed fscal year ends and an
interim balance sheet as of a date no earlier than six months afer the
most recently completed fscal year end.
(C) If the fling is made, or the ofering statement is qualifed, within
three months afer the most recent- ly completed fscal year end, include
a balance sheet as of the two fscal year ends preceding the most
recently
completed fscal year end and an interim balance sheet as of a date no
earlier than six months afer the date of the most recent fscal year end
balance sheet that is required.
(D) If the fling is made, or the ofering statement is qualifed, during
the period from inception until three months afer reaching the annual

stockholders? equity. File consoli- dated statements of comprehensive
income (either in a single continuous fnancial statement or in two
separate but consecutive fnancial statements; or a statement of net income
if there was no other comprehensive income), cash fows, and changes in
stockholders? equity for each of the two fscal years preceding the date of
the most recent balance sheet being fled or such shorter period as the
issuer has been in existence.
(5) Interim fnancial statements.
(i) If a consolidated interim balance sheet is required by (b)(3) of
Part F/S, consolidated interim state- ments of comprehensive income
(either in a single continuous fnancial statement or in two separate but
consec- utive fnancial statements; or a statement of net income if there was
no other comprehensive income) and cash fows shall be provided and must
cover at least the frst six months of the issuer?s fscal year and the
corre- spond- ing period of the preceding fscal year. An analysis of the
changes in each caption of stockholders? equity present- ed in the balance
sheets must be provided in a note or separate statement. Tis analysis
shall be pre- sented in the form of a reconciliation of the beginning
balance to the ending balance for each period for which

rules below. Te fnancial statements of other entities shall follow the
same audit requirement as paragraph (b)(2) of this Part F/S:

of Guaranteed Securities. Te requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X
are applicable to fnancial statements of a subsidiary that issues se-
curities guaranteed by the parent company or guarantees securities issued
by the parent company. However, the reference in Rule 3-10(a) of
Regulation S-X to ?an issuer or guarantor of a guaranteed security that is
registered or being registered is required to fle fnancial statements
required by Regulation S-X with respect to the guaran- tee or guaranteed
security? instead refers to ?an issuer or guarantor of a guaranteed
security that is qualifed or being qualifed pursuant to Regulation A is
required to fle fnancial statements required by Part F/S of Form 1-A with
respect to the guarantee or guaranteed security.? Te defnition of ?parent
company? is the same as in Rule 3-10(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, except that
Rule 3-10(b)(1)(ii) instead reads as follows: ?Is, or as a result of the
subject ofering statement will be, required to fle reports with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 257(b) of Regu- lation A (?? 230.251-230.263),
or is an Exchange Act reporting company.? Te parent company must also pro-
vide the disclosures required by Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X. Te parent
company may elect to provide these disclosures in a footnote to its
consolidated fnancial statements or alternatively, in management?s
discussion and analysis of fnancial condition and results of operations
described in Item 9 of Form 1-A in its ofering statement on Form 1-A fled
in connection with the ofer and sale of the subject securities.
(ii) Financial Statements of and Disclosures About Afliates Whose
Securities Collateralize an Issuance. Te requirements of Rules 3-16 or 13-
02 of Regulation S-X are applicable if an issuer?s securities that are
qualifed or being qualifed pursuant to Regulation A are collateralized by
the securities of the issuer?s afliates. Rule 13-02
of Regulation S-X must be followed unless Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X
applies. Te issuer may elect to provide the disclosures specifed in Rule
13-02 of Regulation S-X in a footnote to its consolidated fnancial
statements or alternatively, in management?s discussion and analysis of
fnancial condition and results of operations described in Item 9 of Form 1-
A in its ofering statement on Form 1-A fled in connection with the ofer and
sale of the subject securities.
(iii) Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired or to be Acquired.

information as described in Rule 8-05 of Regulation S-X.

fnancial statements required by para- graph (b) of this Part F/S, except
the following rules should be followed in the preparation of the fnancial
state- ments:

other entities for which fnan- cial statements are required, must comply
with Article 8 of Regulation S-X, as if they were conducting a regis-
tered ofering on Form S-1, except the age of fnancial statements may
follow paragraphs (b)(3)-(4) of this Part F/S.
(ii) Audited fnancial statements are required for Tier 2
oferings for the issuer and, when appli- cable, for fnancial statements
of other entities. However, interim fnancial statements may be unaudited.

Instruction to Item 17:
Te issuer may redact information from exhibits required to
be fled by this Item if disclosure of such information
would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy (e.g., disclosure of bank account numbers, social
security numbers, home addresses, and similar information). In
addition, the issuer may redact specifc provisions or terms of
exhibits required to be fled by paragraph 6 or 7 of this Item,
if the issuer customarily and actually treats that information
as private or confdential and if the omitted information is
not material. If it does so, the issuer should mark the exhibit
index to indicate that portions of the exhibit have been
omitted and include a prominent statement on the frst page of
the redacted exhibit that
certain identifed information has been excluded from the
exhibit because it is both not material and is the type that
the registrant treats as private or confdential. Te issuer also
must include brackets indicating where the information is
omitted from the fled version of the exhibit. If requested by
the Commission or its staf, the issuer must promptly provide on
a supplemental basis an unredacted copy of the exhibit and its
materiality and privacy or confdentiality analyses. Upon
evaluation of the issuer?s supplemental materials, the
Commission or its staf may require the issuer to amend its
fling to include in the exhibit any previously redacted
information that is not adequately supported by the issuer?s
analyses. Te issuer may request confdential treatment of the
supplemental material submitted under paragraphs 6 or 7
pursuant to Rule 83 (? 200.83 of this chapter) while it is in
the possession of the Commission or its staf.
Afer completing its review of the supplemental information, the
Commission or its staf will
return or destroy it if the registrant complies with the procedures
outlined in Rule 418 (?230.418 of this chap ter).
