REASONS FOR ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in its Warning
Notice issued to Edge Performance dated 11 May 2016 and in the Decision Notice,
it appears to the Authority that Edge Performance is failing to satisfy the
suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not satisfied that Edge
Performance is a fit and proper person having regard to all the circumstances,
including whether Edge Performance 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 Edge Performance has failed to comply with the regulatory
requirement to submit the Return. Edge Performance has not been open and co-
operative in all its dealings with the Authority, in that Edge Performance 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 Edge Performance’s
suitability, lead the Authority to conclude that Edge Performance 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 Edge Performance has had a permission.
