Exempt Customer Purchased by Non-exempt Company

Question: 
We have a customer that is a Phase I exemption, however, we just found out during our annual review that they have been purchased by another company that does not fall under Phase I. What steps do we need to take?
Answer: 

Answer by Randy Carey:You should revoke the Phase I exemption and start filing CTRs. If they qualify for a Phase II exemption, you can file a Phase II exemption after 12 months.

Answer: 

Answer by John Burnett:You can use the customer's cash activity during the most recent twelve months (assuming they've been with you at least one year) in a decision whether to file a Phase II Designation of Exempt Person now. When you do so, however, make sure you don't include non-exemptible transactions (if there were any), such as currency exchanges, loan payments, etc.
