since i'm not currently buying or selling it's striclty an academic matter for me.
one possiblity is that what fasc brought to the table for the JV was the %50 of exclusive marketing rights in the area. in exchange for which they got a piece of the company.
of course if they are a part owner of the purchaing company and they are also the supplier of the KDS the fee srtucture/ discounts on equip and distribution of profits can take on any number of possible permutations, some of which are likely quite complex. since we are not privvy to those JV and purchase aggreements it is unlikely we'll be able to come up with a definative picture of the relationship.
it does seem quite clear that the parties are fully in bed with each other.....let's hope the honeymoon is a long and profitable one.
