The law targets emerging growth companies and defines them as an issuer with “total annual gross revenues of less than $1,000,000,000 (one billion dollars)..during its most recently completed fiscal year.” These firms are now exempt from certain reporting requirements. Firms that issued stock on or before a certain date are still covered by the 34 Act, however.
Emerging growth companies do not need to file certain information or comply with certain financial accounting standards.
Broker/Dealers are exempt from certain restrictions concerning research. The “Quiet Period” for these issuers has changed.
The SEC is limited in several important aspects.
By providing a platform for the sale of emerging company securities, one does not need to register as a Broker/Dealer, provided you meet the qualifications to receive an exemption.

1. $1,000,000 in funding in a 12 month period.
