It's common for large businesses to creat parent and subsidiary companies.That statement would make perfect sense of Planet Calypso would have been sold as was the intention outlined in the last financial statement. However, evidently FPC is still running the joint. FPC is just a name. Developed by MindArk to be used as financial security.
A friend of mine has got a Numbered company for his building, and a numbered company for the business inside it. The business inside it has NOTHING to do with the building other than the fact that it rents space from the building. But... guess what.... they are both owned by the same person. And even though on paper one is separate from the other, they are physically the same business. Only difference is... when a tenant in the apartments up-stairs has a plumbing problem and goes down to the storefront below to speak to the owner, the store employee's don't kick them out and tell them the owner answers all his mail!

In my country a company called Nestle is known for producing chocolate drink and other eatable products.
They also own L'oreal cosmetics (among other things)
If I wanted to know where I could buy chocolate, I wouldn't go barging in to my local cosmetic store and demand answers and whine and howl because they didn't have any in the cosmetic store. Yes the staff in this cosmetic store could probably tell me where I could buy chocolate products, and they would probably be wondering why in the hell a crazy person associates chcoclate and cosmetics.
Certainly I wouldn't go and stalk one of the people on Nestle's board of directors until their cosmetic stores stocked chocolate.
