Authority to Limited2Art pursuant to Part 4A of the Act;

REASONS FOR 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 Limited2Art is
failing to satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not
satisfied that Limited2Art is a fit and proper person having regard to all the
circumstances, including whether Limited2Art managed its business in such a way
as to ensure that its affairs were conducted in a sound and prudent manner.

7.
This is because Limited2Art has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement
to submit the Return. Limited2Art has not been open and co-operative in all its
dealings with the Authority, in that Limited2Art has failed to respond adequately
to the Authority's repeated requests for it to submit the Return, and has thereby
failed to comply with Principle 11 of the Authority's Principles for Businesses 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 Limited2Art’s suitability,
lead the Authority to conclude that Limited2Art 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
Limited2Art has had a permission.
