"So ECOS will need to tell their shareholders all about the JV with LRS."
I agree 100%, my point was that neiher the JV nor LRS have any obligation to report anything directly to ECOS shareholders. I forgot to include the word 'directly'.
While I have you on the line...check out this interesting Fife/ECOS/CRQE/Akuo connection? Appears the entire CRQE float may have quietly changed hands on Monday and Tuesday? Good possible mesh of equipment tech IMO.
