1 Aug 2005director officer appointment▲ GoodMajor
Sky met its $5 million Mubarek instalment on time and hired its first proper chief executive, Donald Cameron, on a consulting contract at $11,000 a month plus 1.5 million options - a shell acquiring both an asset and a management team in the same quarter.
21 July 2005capital raising announcement▼ BadMajor
A further $2.45 million of demand loans plus $1.37 million of shares sold at $0.80 kept the Mubarek payments current. Sky was funding a $25 million obligation hand-to-mouth.
6 July 2005debt financing▼ BadMajor
Sky could not meet the first $5 million instalment on the Mubarek deal, so half of it was deferred by two weeks and $1.5 million was borrowed on demand notes at 8% to cover the rest - the funding strain on this commitment shows up within six weeks of signing it.
25 May 2005capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Sky bought its way into the oil business: subsidiary Sastaro agreed to fund $25 million of drilling on two wells in the Mubarek field offshore the UAE, operated by Buttes Gas and Oil International, a Crescent Petroleum company. Note what Sky did not get - no interest in the concession itself, only a share of whatever those wells produce.
12 May 2005capital raising announcement▲ Good
The $2.5 million subscribed in April was actually received, giving Sky the cash it had promised investors it would deploy.
8 Apr 2005capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Six days after the name change, four offshore investors signed up for 5 million shares at $0.50 to put $2.5 million into the newly renamed company - the first real money behind Meyer's plan to buy into oil and gas.
What it means for a shareholder
5.0m new shares at US$0.500 to raise about US$2.5m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.

A dormant Nevada shell called Seaside Exploration changed hands: its majority holder sold a 54% stake to Daniel Meyer for $7,000, and the company was renamed Sky Petroleum, split its shares 4-for-1 and announced it would look for oil and gas deals. Everything that follows starts here - the company had no petroleum assets at all on this date.
