AMENDMENT TO

ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST

ORDER TO MAKE RESTITUTION

NOTICE OF INTENT TO FINE

AND

NOTICE OF RIGHT TO HEARING

DOCKET NO. CRF-13-8014-S

AMENDMENT

1. On January 9, 2014, the Banking Commissioner, acting pursuant to Chapter 672a of the General Statues of Connecticut and Section 36b-27 of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act, issued an Order to Cease and Desist, Order to Make Restitution, Notice of Intent to Fine and Notice of Right to Hearing (collectively “Order”).
  
2. Paragraph 11 of the Order is amended as follows:

 11.    From approximately November 2005 through approximately September 2011, in order to finance Ulysses’ business expenses, Neilsen, individually and/or on behalf of Ulysses, offered and sold approximately $10 million of securities to at least ten Connecticut investors, the majority of whom were Neilsen’s CPA clients.  Such securities took the form of promissory notes and investment agreements (“Ulysses Investments”), which securities were not registered in Connecticut under Section 36b-16 of the Act, nor were they exempt from registration under Section 36b 21 of the Act, nor were they the subject of a filed exemption claim or claim of covered security status.  Although Neilsen, on behalf of Ulysses, has partially repaid some of the investors, there is still an outstanding balance owed to investors of approximately $7 million dollars.

Dated at Hartford, Connecticut,       _______/s/__________ 
this 18th day of February 2014. Howard F. Pitkin 
Banking Commissioner
