1. Chapter 171 Laws of 1973 (N.J.S.A. 14A:13-14, et seq.) provides that every foreign corporation except corporations exempt pursuant
      to paragraph 2, must file a Notice of Business Activities Report on Form CBA-1 if:

      (a) Such corporation has not obtained a certificate of authority to do business in New Jersey and is not "doing business" in this
                 State in the traditional franchise tax sense, but, nevertheless, is deriving income from sources within this State; or is engaged
                 in any type of activity or interrelationships within this State.
      (b) Such corporation disclaims liability for the Corporation Business Tax and any obligation to obtain a certificate of authority to
                 do business in this State.

2. A foreign corporation is exempt from the requirement of filing a Notice of Business Activities Report if:

      (a) By the end of its accounting period for the preceding calendar or fiscal year it had received a certificate of authority to do
                 business in New Jersey issued by the Division of Revenue;
                 or
      (b) Files a timely return under the Corporation Business Tax Act for such calendar or fiscal year.

      NOTE:    The failure of a foreign corporation to file a timely report may prevent the use of the courts in this State for all contracts 
                   executed and all causes of action that arose at any time prior to the end of the last accounting period for which the 
                   corporation failed to file a required timely report.
