REASONS FOR ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice issued to PTUL and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the Authority that
PTUL is failing to satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority
is not satisfied that PTUL is a fit and proper person having regard to all the
circumstances, including whether PTUL 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 PTUL has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement to
submit the Returns. PTUL has not been open and co-operative in all PTUL’s
dealings with the Authority, in that PTUL has failed to respond adequately to the
Authority's repeated requests for it to submit the Returns, 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 PTUL’s suitability, lead the
Authority to conclude that PTUL 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 PTUL has had
a permission.
