REASONS FOR THE ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice, and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the Authority that KMLM is failing
to satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not satisfied
that KMLM is a fit and proper person having regard to all the circumstances,
including whether KMLM managed its business in such a way as to ensure that its
affairs were conducted in a sound and prudent manner.


7.
KMLM has failed to pay the Overdue Balance and it has not been open and co-
operative in all its dealings with the Authority, in that KMLM has failed to respond
to the Authority’s repeated requests for it to pay the Overdue Balance, and has
thereby failed to comply with Principle 11 of the Principles and to satisfy the
Authority that it is ready, willing and organised to comply with the requirements
and standards under the regulatory system.


8.
These failures, which are significant in the context of KMLM’s suitability, lead the
Authority to conclude that KMLM has failed to manage its business in such a way
as to ensure that its affairs are conducted in a sound and prudent manner, that it
is not a fit and proper person, and that it is therefore failing to satisfy the
Threshold Conditions in relation to the regulated activities for which it has had a
permission.
