CMIC Holdings (2309 JP) decided to "change its business model" this past spring, transferring control of a consolidated JV and other subs to DNP. 
The result changed the accounting, and the business model, capitalising future cashflow and net income in a "hidden" asset which may or may not be in the Financial Advisor's valuation.
My read is this is being done too cheaply, and the price should be 30-60% higher. But, it would be tough to block this.
