Neither any such fact nor the fact that an exemption is available for a transaction means that the commissioner has passed in any way upon the merits or qualifications of, or recommended or given approval to, any person, franchise or transaction.

(b) It is unlawful to make or cause to be made to any prospective purchaser or offeree any representation inconsistent with subdivision (a) of this section.
