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 PML is failing to
satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not satisfied
that PML is a fit and proper person having regard to all the circumstances,
including whether PML 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 PML has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement to
submit the Return and pay the Overdue Balance. PML has not been open and co-
operative in all its dealings with the Authority, in that it has failed to respond
adequately to the Authority's repeated requests for it to submit the Return and
pay the Overdue Balance, 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 PML’s suitability, lead the
Authority to conclude that PML has failed to manage it 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 PML has had a
permission.
