PART I
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Chameleon Gems, Inc.
Chameleon Gems, Inc. (“Chameleon or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 30, 2006 to explore mining claims in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. We are an exploration stage company and we have not realized any revenues to date.
Chameleon Gems, Inc. was formed to engage in the exploration of mineral properties for Red Jasper and other metals. Chameleon Gems, Inc has acquired a Red Jasper property that is located approximately about 35 minutes drive south of the town of Port McNeill on northern Vancouver Island. Chameleon Gems’ Red Streak property comprises one MTO (Mineral Titles Online – an Internet–based administration system used to register, maintain and manage tenure) cell claim totaling 412.508 hectares.
We are an exploration stage company. An exploration stage company is one that is engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves, which are not in either the development or production stage. We have no revenues and no operations, and we have incurred losses from our inception on March 30, 2006. We will not be able to determine whether or not our mineral claim contains a commercially exploitable mineral deposit or reserve until appropriate exploratory work is completed and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic feasibility.
We do not have sufficient capital to enable us to commence and complete our exploration program. We will require financing in order to conduct the exploration program described in the section entitled, "Proposed Program of Exploration." Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, raising substantial doubt about our financial prospects and our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our offices are located at502 East John Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89706

RISK FACTORS
INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN EVALUATING THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS.
THE SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING THROUGH THIS PROSPECTUS ARE SPECULATIVE BY NATURE AND INVOLVE AN EXTREMELY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND SHOULD BE PURCHASED ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. WE ALSO CAUTION PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS THAT THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, AMONG OTHERS, COULD CAUSE OUR ACTUAL FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED IN ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF US. IN ASSESSING THESE RISKS, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU ALSO REFER TO OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES.
IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMEDAND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
Risks related to our company and our industry
OUR COMPANY WAS RECENTLY FORMED. THE COMPANY HAS NO REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS. WE MAY NEVERL EVER EARN REVENUE ANDMAY OPERATE AT A LOSS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE COMPANY WILL HAVE MINING OPERATIONS OF ANY KIND IS REMOTE. IF WE FAIL TO GENERATE REVENUE, WE MAY HAVE TO SUSPEND OR CEASE OPERATIONS. IF THIS OCCURS, AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES MAY BE WORTHLESS
From our inception on March 30, 2006 to year ended on December 31, 2006, the Company has not generated any revenue. The Company does not currently have any revenue producing operations. Rather, the Company generated a net loss of $(10,855). It is highly unlikely that production will ever be achieved. Accordingly, it should be anticipated that the Company will not generate revenue and will continue to operate at a loss for the foreseeable future.
We have no history of operations or production from which we have earned revenue and we have not proved we can operate successfully. In addition, the possibility that the Company will have ongoing mining operations of any kind is remote. The purchase of the securities offered hereby must therefore be regarded as the placing of funds at a high risk in a new or "start-up" venture with all the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject. If we fail to generate revenue, we may have to cease operations. If this occurs, an investment in our securities may be worthless.
WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY. WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES FOR RED JASPER. THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE COMPANY WILL FIND A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE MINERAL DEPOSIT OF ANY KIND IS REMOTE. OUR INABILITY TO DISCOVER ECONOMIC MINERALIZATION AND TO LOCATE ADDITIONAL EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITIES COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
6
We may not be successful exploring for Red Jasper. Our future performance and success is dependent upon finding a commercially viable mineral deposit. Exploration for minerals is an inherently risky business. The Company may not be successful because the possibility that the Company will find economic mineralization of any kind is remote. Our inability to discover a commercially viable mineral deposit, or to locate additional exploration opportunities, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, and you could lose your entire investment.
WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY. WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN GROWING OUR RED JASPER AND OTHER MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.
The Company has no history of operations. We may not be successful in our exploration activities. In addition, our mineral exploration activities will place significant demands on our executive officers. Our proposed exploration plan will present challenges due to our current limited management resources. Our future performance will depend upon managements’ ability to successfully manage, locate and negotiate any exploration opportunities in which we participate. However, we may not be successful in these efforts. Our inability to locate additional opportunities, to hire additional management and other personnel, or to enhance our management systems, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. The Company's operations may never be profitable.
THERE IS A HIGHER RISK OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL BECAUSE MS. ESTHER BRINER, OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR DOES NOT HAVE FORMAL TRAINING SPECIFIC TO THE TECHNICALITIES OF MINERAL EXPLORATION.
Esther Briner, our President and a Director of the Company, does not have formal training as a geologist or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral exploration company. She lacks technical training and experience with exploring for, starting, and operating a mine. With no direct training or experience in these areas, she may not be fully aware of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Her decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry.
WE ARE SOLELY GOVERNED BY ESTHER BRINER, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, AND, AS SUCH, THERE MAY BE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE COMPANY OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Esther Briner, our sole Executive Officer and Director makes decisions such as the approval of related party transactions, the compensation of Executive Officers, and the oversight of the accounting function. There will be no segregation of executive duties and there may not be effective disclosure and accounting controls to comply with applicable laws and regulations, which could result in fines, penalties and assessments against us. Accordingly, the inherent controls that arise from the segregation of executive duties may not prevail. In addition, Ms. Briner will exercise full control over all matters that typically require the approval of a Board of Directors. Ms. Briner’s actions are not subject to the review and approval of a Board of Directors and, as such, there may be significant risk to the Company of a conflict of interest.
Our sole Executive Officer and Director exercises control over all matters requiring shareholder approval including the election of Directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. Insofar as Ms. Briner makes all decisions as to which projects the Company undertakes, there is a risk of a conflict of interest arising between the duties of Ms. Briner in her role as our sole Executive Officer and her own personal financial and business interests. We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited
7
protections against the transactions implemented by Ms. Briner, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees as we presently only have one independent director. Shareholders should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
WE ARE CONTROLLED BY ESTHER BRINER, OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, AND, AS SUCH, THE COMPANY MAY LACK THE ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT ITS GROWTH PLANS.
Esther Briner, our sole Executive Officer and Director, has no career experience related to mining and mineral exploration. Accordingly, Ms. Briner may be unable to successfully operate and develop our business. We may not be able to overcome this obstacle. There may be additional risk to the Company in that Ms. Briner may lack the ability to successfully implement growth plans given the absence of an executive management team, and that all plans rely exclusively on the ability and management of Ms. Briner, our Executive Officer and Director.
SINCE ESTHER BRINER, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, IS NOT A RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE ANY LIABILITIES AGAINST HER.
Shareholders may have difficulty enforcing any claims against the Company because Ms. Briner, our sole Executive Officer and Director, resides outside the United States. If a shareholder desired to sue, shareholders would have to serve a summons and complaint. Even if personal service is accomplished and a judgment is entered against that person, the shareholder would then have to locate assets of that person, and register the judgment in the foreign jurisdiction where the assets are located.
BECAUSE ESTHER BRINER, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, HAS OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, SHE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
It is possible that the demands on Esther Briner, our sole Executive Officer and Director, from other obligations could increase with the result that she would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. Ms. Briner devotes 3-5 hours per week, or fewer than 20 hours per month, on Company business. In addition, Ms. Briner may not possess sufficient time to manage our business if the demands of managing our business increased substantially.
THE IMPRECISION OF MINERAL DEPOSIT ESTIMATES MAY PROVE ANY RESOURCE CALCULATIONS THAT WE MAKE TO BE UNRELIABLE.
Mineral deposit estimates and related databases are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, and analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. By their nature, mineral deposit estimates are imprecise and depend upon statistical inferences, which may ultimately prove unreliable. Furthermore, none of the Company's claims are know to hold mineral deposits, and these none of these claims may be classified as deposits or reserves at this time. Mineral deposit estimates included here, if any, have not been adjusted in consideration of these risks and, may not, ultimately, be classified as reserves.
THE PRICE OF RED JASPER IS VOLATILE AND PRICE CHANGES ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. WE ARE SENSITIVE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF RED JASPER. IF THE PRICE OF RED
8
JASPER IS TOO LOW, IT COULD BECOME TOO EXPENSIVE TO PURSUE OUR EXPLORATION PLANS. PRICE VOLATILITY AND DOWNWARD PRICE PRESSURE COULD CAUSE US TO CANCEL OUR EXPLORATION PLANS.
The price of Red Jasper can fluctuate. The price of Red Jasper has been and will continue to be affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control. Factors that affect the price of Red Jasper include the demand from consumers for products that use Red Jasper, economic conditions, over supply from secondary sources and costs of production. If the price of Red Jasper is too low, it could become too expensive to pursue our exploration plans. Price volatility and downward price pressure, which can lead to lower prices, could have a material adverse effect on the costs or the viability of our project and cause us to postpone or cancel our exploration plans altogether.
MINERAL EXPLORATION AND PROSPECTING IS A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND SPECULATIVE BUSINESS AND WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN SEEKING AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITIES.
The process of mineral exploration and prospecting is a highly competitive and speculative business. In seeking available opportunities, the Company will compete with a number of other companies, including established, multi-national companies that have more experience and resources than the Company. We compete with other exploration companies looking for Red Jasper and other mineral deposits. Because we may not have the financial and managerial resources to compete with other companies, we may not be successful in our efforts to acquire projects of value, which, ultimately, become productive. However, while we compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of mineral from our claims.
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND PERMITTING COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COSTS OR THE VIABILITY OF OUR PROJECTS. THE HISTORICAL TREND TOWARD STRICTER ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION MAY CONTINUE, AND, AS SUCH, REPRESENTS AN UNKNOWN FACTOR IN OUR PLANNING PROCESSES.
Our exploration activities are subject to the extensive regulation of the Mining Act of British Columbia, which is administered by the Ministry of Energy and Mines of the Provincial Government of British Columbia. Compliance with such regulation has a material effect on the economics of our operations. Our primary regulatory costs have been related to obtaining licenses and permits from government agencies before the commencement of mining activities. An environmental impact study that must be obtained on each property in order to obtain governmental approval to mine on the properties is also a part of the overall operating costs of a mining company.
The possibility of more stringent regulations exists in the areas of worker health and safety, the dispositions of wastes, the decommissioning and reclamation of mining and milling sites and other environmental matters, each of which could have an adverse material effect on the costs or the viability of a particular project.
We have not yet applied to the Ministry of Energy and Mines of the Province of British Columbia for permits for the initial exploration work on the Red Streak Property.
OUR EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE REGULATION BY THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. FUTURE CHANGES IN GOVERNMENTS, REGULATIONS AND POLICIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND THE COMPANY’S LONG-TERM BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Our exploration activities are subject to extensive regulation by the Ministry of Energy and Mines of the Provincial Government of British Columbia. We will be subject to the Mining Act of British Columbia as
9
we carry out our planned exploration programs. The Mining Act of British Columbia relates to exploration, development, production, exports, taxes and royalties, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, mine and mill reclamation, mine and mill safety, toxic substances and other matters. Compliance with such laws and regulations has increased the costs of exploring, drilling, developing, constructing, operating mines and other facilities. Accordingly, we may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these regulations. There is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. Compliance with and future changes in governments, regulations and policies, could adversely affect the Company's results of operations in a particular period and its long-term business prospects.
Risks Related To Our Financial Condition And Business Model
THE COMPANY HAS NOT PAID ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON ITS SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND DOES NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING ANY SUCH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Payment of future dividends, if any, will depend on earnings and capital requirements of the Company, the Company’s debt facilities and other factors considered appropriate by the Company��s Board of Directors. To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends on its shares of Common Stock and does not anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan because we currently do not have any operations and we have no income. We do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of mineral claims and investor sentiment. These factors may adversely affect the timing, amount, terms, or conditions of any financing that we may obtain or make any additional financing unavailable to us.
IF WE DO NOT CONDUCT MINERAL EXPLORATION ON OUR MINERAL CLAIMS AND KEEP THE CLAIMS IN GOOD STANDING, THEN OUR RIGHT TO THE MINERAL CLAIMS WILL LAPSE AND WE WILL LOSE EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE INVESTED AND EXPENDED TOWARDS THESE CLAIMS.
We must complete mineral exploration work on our mineral claims or pay a fee in lieu of work to keep the claims in good standing. If we do not fulfill our work commitment requirements on our claims or pay the fee to keep the claims in good standing, then our right to the claims will lapse and we will lose all interest that we have in these mineral claims. We are obligated to pay CAD $1,815.03 in lieu of work to the British Columbia Provincial government on an annual basis to keep our claims valid. The fee is calculated at a rate of CAD $4.00 per hectare plus a 10% submission fee: Chameleon Gems has 412.508 hectares which is multiplied by CAD $4.00 to equal CAD $1650.03, to which the submission fee of CAD $165.00 is added for a total of CAD $1815.03.
BECAUSE OF OUR LIMITED RESOURCES AND THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS, THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, IT IS LIKELY INVESTORS WILL LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
The report of our independent auditors, on our audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2006, indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our
10
ability to continue as a going concern. Our continued operations are dependent on our ability to obtain financing and upon our ability to achieve future profitable operations from the development of our mineral properties. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investment.
Risks Related To This Offering and our Stock
ALL OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING WILL BE GOING TO ESTHER BRINER, OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, AND NONE OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING WILL BE GOING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, IN ADDITION TO THE FINANCING AS REPORTED IN THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT. IN SO DOING, WE WILL FURTHER DILUTE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING.THIS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR ACCESSIBLE BY US.
All of the proceeds from this offering will be going to Esther Briner, our sole Officer and Director, and none of the proceeds from this offering will be going to the development of the Company. Chameleon Gems will need to raise additional capital, in addition to the financing as reported in this registration statement, by issuing additional shares of common stock and will, thereby, increase the number of common shares outstanding. This additional capital may not be available to meet these continuing exploration costs or, if the capital is available, it may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the business and future success of the Company will almost certainly be adversely affected. If we are able to raise additional capital, it may not be on terms that enhance the value of our common shares.
IF WE COMPLETE A FINANCING THROUGH THE SALE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE FUTURE THEN SHAREHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION.
The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the sale of shares of our common stock. Any sale of common stock will result in dilution of equity ownership to existing shareholders. This means that if we sell shares of our common stock, more shares will be outstanding and each existing shareholder will own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding.
THERE IS NO MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH LIMITS OUR SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO RESELL THEIR SHARES OR PLEDGE THEM AS COLLATERAL.
There is currently no public market for our shares, and we cannot assure you that a market for our stock will develop. Consequently, investors may not be able to use their shares for collateral or loans and may not be able to liquidate at a suitable price in the event of an emergency. In addition, investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the price they paid for them or may not be able to sell their shares at all.
IF A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR STOCK IS DEVELOPED, FUTURE SALES OF SHARES COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
If a public market for our stock is developed, then sales of Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. There are at present 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND THE NASD’S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.
11
The Company’s common shares may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Regulation Section “240.3a51 -1” of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than U.S. $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than U.S. $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or U.S. $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than U.S. $6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section “15(g)” of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation Section “240.15g(c)2” of the SEC require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential investors in the Company’s common shares are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any common shares that are deemed to be “penny stock”.
Moreover, Regulation Section “240.15g -9” of the SEC requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in the Company’s common shares to resell their common shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
(i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer
(ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases
(iii) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons
(iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers
(v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

The selling shareholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by him and, if he defaults in the performance of his secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling shareholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors-in-interest as selling shareholder under this prospectus. The selling shareholder also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholder also may sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholder also may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions for the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to the broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares the broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect the transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholder from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. A selling shareholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The selling shareholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. A selling shareholder that is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling shareholder, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

Sales Pursuant to Rule 144
Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The following information is excerpted from the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/rule144.htm and describes in plain English the significance of Rule 144 for investors,
The shares of common stock covered under this prospectus are restricted securities. When you acquire restricted securities or hold control securities, you must find an exemption from the SEC's registration requirements to sell them in the marketplace. Rule 144 allows public resale of restricted and control securities if a number of conditions are met, as described below,
1. | Holding Period. Before you may sell restricted securities in the marketplace, you must hold them for at least one year. The one-year period holding period begins when the securities were bought and fully paid for. The holding period only applies to restricted securities. |
| |
2. | Adequate Current Information. There must be adequate current information about the issuer of the securities before the sale can be made. This generally means the issuer has complied with the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. |
| |
3. | Trading Volume Formula. After the one-year holding period, the number of shares you may sell during any three-month period can't exceed the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of the same class being sold, or if the class is listed on a stock exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, the greater of 1% or the average reported weekly trading volume during the four weeks preceding the filing a notice of the sale on Form 144. Over-the-counter stocks, including those quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets, can only be sold using the 1% measurement. |
4. | Ordinary Brokerage Transactions. The sales must be handled in all respects as routine trading transactions, and brokers may not receive more than a normal commission. Neither the seller nor the broker can solicit orders to buy the securities. |
5. | Filing Notice With the SEC. At the time you place your order, you must file a notice with the SEC on Form 144 if the sale involves more than 500 shares or the aggregate dollar amount is greater than $10,000 in any three-month period. The sale must take place within three months of filing the Form and, if the securities have not been sold, you must file an amended notice. |
Even if you have met the conditions of Rule 144, you can't sell your restricted securities to the public until you've gotten the legend removed from the certificate. Only a transfer agent can remove a restrictive legend. But the transfer agent won't remove the legend unless you've obtained the consent of the issuer—usually in the form of an opinion letter from the issuer's counsel—that the restricted legend can be removed. Unless this happens, the transfer agent doesn't have the authority to remove the legend and execute the trade in the marketplace.
Regulation M
We plan to advise the selling shareholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security holders and their affiliates. Regulation M under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for, or purchasing for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Accordingly, the selling
15
shareholder is not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling security holder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
State Securities Laws
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Expenses of Registration
We are bearing substantially all costs relating to the registration of the shares of common stock offered hereby. These expenses are estimated to be $10,000, including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees. The selling shareholder, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of such shares common stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling shareholder.

General Overview
Chameleon Gems, Inc. was incorporated on March 30, 2006 by filing Articles of Incorporation under the Nevada Secretary of State. Chameleon Gems was formed to engage in the exploration of mineral properties for Red Jasper and other metals. Chameleon Gems, Inc. has acquired a Red Jasper property, the Red Streak Property, located near Nimpkish Lake, BC, about 35 minutes drive south of the town of Port McNeill on northern Vancouver Island.
We are an exploration stage company. An exploration stage company is one that is engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves, which are not in either the development or production stage. We have no revenues and no operations, and we have achieved losses since inception on March 30, 2006.
Our mineral claims may not contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve. We will know that our claims host a mineral deposit only when appropriate exploratory work is completed and an economic evaluation based on such work concludes economic feasibility. We will not be able to determine whether or not our mineral claim contains a commercially exploitable mineral deposit or reserve until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability.
We do not have sufficient capital to enable us to commence and complete our exploration program. We will require financing in order to conduct the exploration program described in the section entitled, "Proposed Program of Exploration." Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, raising substantial doubt about Chameleon Gem’s financial prospects and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Property Acquisitions Details
On October 10, 2006, Chameleon Gems purchased the Red Streak Property for USD $10,000. Gregory R. Thomson P. Geo and James W. Laird, of Laird Exploration Ltd., prepared the report on the Red Jasper property.
Gregory R. Thomson is a graduate Geologist from the University of British Columbia (1970) and has more than 25 years of mineral exploration experience in the Province of British Columbia.
Jim Laird is a Professional Geoscientist registered in the Province of British Columbia. Mr. Laird is a prospector and mining exploration contractor who has more than 20 years experience. Mr. Laird has completed the BC EMPR course “Advanced Mineral Exploration for Prospectors, 1980.”

Land Status, Topography, Location and Access
The Red Streak Property is located near Nimpkish Lake, BC, about 35 minutes drive south of the town of Port McNeill on northern Vancouver Island. The property covers a recently logged area in the vicinity of Kinman Creek, which flows westward into Nimpkish Lake. The property is accessible to 4 wheel drive vehicles from the Island Highway via Canfor’s Kinman Creek logging road and by recent spurs, which cross most of the claims. The property contains strong attributes toward cost-effective property development, including easy access to road, rail, and deep-water transportation facilities.
The climate of the Nimpkish area is mild and wet, with about 400 cm of precipitation falling annually, mostly as rain. Snowfall covers the higher areas from November to April, but seldom persists at lower elevations for more than a few weeks in mid-winter. First-growth conifer forest formerly covered all of the claims, but recent clear-cut logging has exposed more than half the ground covered by the claims. Karst topography and cave systems are commonly developed in the limestone near watercourses.
Mining Claims
The Red Streak Property currently consists of 412.508 hectares of mineral title, in good standing until August 7, 2007. The original 2-post Red Streak claim (#395892) was staked on August 14, 2002.
BC Tenure # | Work Due Date | Staking Date | Total Area (Ha.) |

Geology of the Red Streak Mine Property
The main rock units exposed on the Red Streak Property are Parson’s Bay Formation sediments and volcaniclastics, granodiorite of the Island Intrusions Plutonic Suite, and a limited area of Karmutsen Formation Basalt along the eastern edge of the property.
The Parson’s Bay Formation is a complex limestone and volcaniclastic sediment package with rapid vertical and lateral changes in facies. Rock types include black limestone, thin-bedded cherty tuffaceous limestone, agglomeratic limestone, grey coralline limestone reefs, thin-bedded calcareous argillite, and quartzite. Marine fossils are common in some units and are usually well preserved. Andesite flows, sills, breccias and dikes representing the earliest stages of the Bonanza Volcanics are locally present. The Parson’s Bay Formation is generally fractured and faulted near the numerous intrusives of the Island Intrusions, and is very rusty due to abundant pyritization. Minor mineral deposits containing pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and tetrahedrite are common in shear zones near the intrusives.
The intrusive plutonic suite regionally known as the Island Intrusions includes stocks, sills, and dikes of granodiorite, with some diorite, quartz diorite, greenstone, hornblende-feldspar porphyry, felsite and quartz-feldspar porphyry. The contact-altered granitic rocks can host minor occurrences of pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite in endoskarn zones, vein systems, shears, breccias and disseminations.
22
The limited area of Karmutsen basalt on the eastern boundary was found to contain minor amounts of pyrite, magnetite and chalcopyrite.
The original mineral deposit located on the Red Streak Property is a lapidary-quality red jasper deposit located close to a major logging road. Three separate jasper-bearing shear zones cross an andesite flow or sill. The jasper has been hand-trenched and test sampled, removing about one tonne of material for test-marketing. The jasper is a striking bright red colour with patches of pyrite and green epidote. It has been successfully fashioned into cabochons, polished slabs and tumbled stones by various lapidary shops and mineral clubs.

Geology of the Area
The Nimpkish map-area is underlain by a 5 to 7 km thick stratigraphic sequence of Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Vancouver Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Mineralization in this stratigraphy generally occurs as skarn-type metal deposits forming in limestone or marble at or near the contact with younger intrusive granitic bodies.
23
The sequence is composed of Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation marine mafic volcanics, overlain by Quatsino Formation limestone/marble, and Parson’s Bay Formation calcareous sediments and tuffs, succeeded by the dominantly andesitic Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group Volcanics. All of these units have been intruded and metamorphosed by a large Jurassic granodiorite pluton called the Nimpkish Batholith. Major uplift, folding and faulting preceded and accompanied emplacement of the multi-phase granitic rocks and related skarn mineralization. Marble development is common in the Quatsino limestone proximal to intrusions.
Skarn-hosted mineralization in the Nimpkish area is most often found along the contact of limestone and intrusive rocks (exoskarn); in limestone-hosted sulphide-rich mantos and replacements; and at the “triple point” contact between the Karmutsen and Quatsino formations and intrusives. Numerous greenstone dikes and small intrusive stocks are found in the limestone adjacent to the major contact zones, and commonly have a “rind” or contact metasomatic zone of skarn minerals and sulphides.
The common skarn minerals present include; green grossularite and red-brown andradite garnet, epidote, diopside, manganese alteration (bustamite), calcite and quartz; with magnetite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, limonite and occasionally marcasite, hematite, bornite, covellite, tetrahedrite, galena, molybdenite, malachite, azurite, and greenockite. Other minerals noted in the altered zones include; sericite, biotite, k-feldspar and chlorite and occasionally red jasper, jade-green serpentine, blue to lavender dumortierite, lemon-yellow vesuvianite, and green to black tourmaline.
Exploration History and Previous Operations
The Nimpkish Lake area has been explored for mineral deposits since the early 1800’s. The Nimpkish Iron Mine on the Nimpkish River was discovered in the late 1800’s, followed by the Kinman Creek Copper and Storey Creek or Smith Copper deposits in the 1920’s. After an initial flurry of development including short underground workings, numerous surface trenches, and diamond drilling in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s, activity in the area slowed greatly. Exploration for magnetite in the 1950’s and 1960’s brought about a resurgence of exploration.
Exploration in the 1980’s and 1990’s concentrated on copper and gold skarns. Prospecting by James Laird in 1988 - 1990 located several promising skarn deposits and a large resource of high-grade white marble on what is now the CBL Property. Initial prospecting was also done over parts the ground covered by the Red Streak Property. A large area of highly altered rusty sediments intruded by granitic rocks in the lower Kinman Creek valley was found to contain widespread small deposits of pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena (BC AR#20092, 1990).
Proposed Program of Exploration
A proposed work program includes reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling, construction of a control grid, EM and magnetometer geophysical surveys, and soil geochemical sampling. The anticipated costs of this development are presented in three results-contingent stages.

Compliance With Government Regulation
We will be required to conduct all mineral exploration activities in accordance with government regulations. Such operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, well safety and other matters. Unfavorable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of operations.
Employees
At present, we have no employees. We anticipate that we will be conducting most of our business through agreements with consultants and third parties.
Management Discussion and Analysis Or Plan of Operation
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to the historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
25
actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Plan of Operations
Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of the Red Streak mineral property to determine whether there is any potential for gold or other metals located on the property comprising the mineral claims. We have decided to proceed with the three phases of a staged exploration program recommended by the geological report. We anticipate that these phases of the recommended geological exploration program will cost approximately $18,550, $90,000 and $170,000 respectively. We had $NIL in cash reserves as of December 31, 2006. The lack of cash has kept us from conducting any exploration work on the property.
We will commence Phase 1 of the exploration program once we receiving funding. Phase 2 and 3 will commence after completion of the Phase 1 program. As such, we anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:
- $1,815.03 to be paid to the British Columbia Provincial government to keep the claims valid;
- $18,550 in connection with the completion of Phase 1 of our recommended geological work program;
- $90,000 in connection with the completion of Phase 2 of our recommended geological work program;
- $170,000 for Phase 3 of our recommended geological work program; and
- $10,000 for operating expenses, including professional legal and accounting expenses associated with compliance with the periodic reporting requirements after we become a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding expenses of the offering.
If we determine not to proceed with further exploration of our mineral claims due to a determination that the results of our initial geological program do not warrant further exploration or due to an inability to finance further exploration, we plan to pursue the acquisition of an interest in other mineral claims. We anticipate that any future acquisition would involve the acquisition of an option to earn an interest in a mineral claim as we anticipate that we would not have sufficient cash to purchase a mineral claim of sufficient merit to warrant exploration. This means that we might offer shares of our stock to obtain an option on a property. Once we obtain an option, we would then pursue finding the funds necessary to explore the mineral claim by one or more of the following means: engaging in an offering of our stock; engaging in borrowing; or locating a joint venture partner or partners.
Results Of Operations
We have not yet earned any revenues. We anticipate that we will not earn revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production, if any, of our mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we may not be able to discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, we may not be able to enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
At December 31, 2006, our total cash on hand at the end of the period was $NIL. Since our inception on March 30, 2006, to the end of the period December 31, 2006, we incurred a loss of $(10,855). We attribute our net loss to having no revenues to offset our operating expenses. At December 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $10,855.
26
From our inception on March 30, 2006 to the end of the period December 31, 2006, net cash provided by investing activities was $10,000. Net cash after operating and financial activities was a deficit of $10,855. For the period ended December 31, 2006, net cash used in the purchase of Red Streak property was $10,000. At the end of the period December 31, 2006 the Company had outstanding accounts payable of $855.
Based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our operations for at least the next twelve months. We will need to obtain additional financing to operate our business for the next twelve months. We will raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a private placement and public offering of our common stock. Additional financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with stockholders or other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital. If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing stockholders would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. Debt incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability of debt holders to make claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short or long-term capital requirements, our operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.
We are paying the expenses of the offering because we seek to (i) become a reporting company with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"); and (ii) enable our common stock to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. We believe that the registration of the resale of shares on behalf of our existing shareholder may facilitate the development of a public market in our common stock if our common stock is approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. We have not yet determined whether we will separately register our securities under Section 12 of the 1934 Act.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock, which are estimated at $10,000. The selling shareholder, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.

Common Stock
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. We do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors, and accordingly, holders of a majority of the voting shares are able to elect all of the directors.
Subject to preferences that may be granted, any holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefore as well as any distributions to the stockholders. We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and do not expect to pay such dividends in the foreseeable future.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets remaining after payment of liabilities. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

SEC POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
29
Our bylaws provide that each officer and director of our company shall be indemnified by us against all costs and expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which he or she may be involved or to which he or she may be made a party by reason of his or her being or having been such director or officer, except in relation to matters as to which he or she has been finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty.
The indemnification provisions of our bylaws diminish the potential rights of action, which might otherwise be available to shareholders by affording indemnification against most damages and settlement amounts paid by a director in connection with any shareholders derivative action. However, there are no provisions limiting the right of a shareholder to enjoin a director from taking actions in breach of his fiduciary duty, or to cause the Company to rescind actions already taken, although as a practical matter courts may be unwilling to grant such equitable remedies in circumstances in which such actions have already been taken. Also, because the Company does not presently have directors' liability insurance and because we may not be able to procure such insurance or that if such insurance is procured it may not provide coverage to the extent directors would be indemnified under the provisions, we may be forced to bear a portion or all of the cost of the director's claims for indemnification under such provisions. If we are forced to bear the costs for indemnification, the value of our stock may be adversely affected.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

To the Board of Directors
Chameleon Gems Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company)
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Chameleon Gems Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of December 31 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows from inception March 23, 2006, through December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chameleon Gems Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows from inception March 23, 2006, through December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a net (loss) of ($10,855) for the period from March 23, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2006 and has not generated any revenues, this raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

See our Articles of Incorporation filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this registration statement.

ITEM 3. UNDERTAKINGS.
The Company hereby undertakes to:
38
1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; and
ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 of Regulation C of the Securities Act;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
39
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 4. UNREGISTERED SECURITIES ISSUED OR SOLD WITHIN ONE YEAR.
