Ann: Completes Investment in US Battery Technology Group C4V, page-41

that's your slant on it and I disagree with it - the buy in allows MNS to not only participate in profits in respect of other projects C4V is into (ie India proposal for one) but also ensures that MNS protects its interests in the IP that it has obviously had input into. It further strengthens the working relationship between the two entities and if there is any disagreement places a hurdle to prevent the aggrieved party in some ways in taking up with the opposition.

always two ways at looking at things - your blind freddy way or the steve jobs bigger picture way - and that depends on which side of the fence you sit on - anyhow I had considered all aspects of the deal including what you are saying and yet I still saw it all as a complete positive and beneficial for all parties concerned.
