Operating only within one state does not automatically make a public offering exempt from registration.

Registration by coordination is used when the same securities offering is also being registered with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933. The state registration is coordinated with the federal registration and generally becomes effective at the same time as the federal registration.

Why the Other Answers Are Incorrect

Registration by qualification generally involves active review by the Administrator and becomes effective when ordered by the Administrator.

Registration by coordination may involve some state review, even though it is coordinated with a federal registration statement.
