One big reason for Tinto to want more TRQ

One big reason for Tinto to want more TRQ
One reason for Tinto to want more of TRQ has a lot to do with accounting. At 51%, they can not fully intigrate TRQ's numbers with Tinto's. From an accounting perspective, this makes a big difference for Tinto - everything from being able to right off TRQ' debet going forward to righting off losses in the company's other divisions against TRQ profit and a bunch of other bean counting issues. They need to get at least 76% of TRQ in order to fully intigrate them accounting wise or some how take TRQ completly private (no puplicly listed share holders). I am not an accountant and my knowledge on the matters comes from reasons given by other companies in similar situations. My understanding is that this can be a big factor. Perhaps if we have some accounting types out their, they can expand on this.
