| Financial statements of the target are required.
A non-reporting target may provide only 2 years + interims if it would otherwise meet the definition of a Smaller Reporting Company.
Financial statements of the acquirer are not required in the proxy statement unless they are material to an informed voting decision (e.g., acquirer financing is not assured) [Instruction 2(a) to Item 14 of Schedule 14A], since shareholders are presumed to have access to information about their company. This presumption is based on the acquirer being current with its 1934 Act reports. If otherwise, consult with CF-OCA.

NOTE: S-X 3-06 permits a registrant to file financial statements covering a period of nine to twelve months to satisfy a requirement for filing financial statements for a period of one year in the following circumstances:
Target company financial statements required to be provided in a proxy statement or Form S-4 are not provided pursuant to S-X 3-05. This is true even though the proxy statement and Form S-4 reference S-X 3-05 in some circumstances to determine the number of periods of target company financial statements to provide in the proxy statement or Form S-4. Because target company financial statements are not provided pursuant to S-X 3-05, the exception permitted in S-X 3-06(b) is not available for purposes of providing target company financial statements in a proxy statement or Form S-4. However, the exception in S-X 3-06(a) is available and companies may also make requests under S-X 3-06(c).
