17 Feb 2023material agreement termination▼ BadMajor

Both 2021 ventures ended together and quietly: the helicopter joint venture with Unity Accipiter and the South African fuels arrangement with Himmelhoch were mutually terminated before either began any activity. Neither produced anything, which is the pattern for every venture Sky announced after Albania.

12 July 2021material agreement▼ BadMajor

Sastaro - the subsidiary created in 2005 to hold the UAE oil interest - was repurposed to enter a joint venture supplying refurbished Black Hawk helicopters to Indonesia's defence ministry, a contract valued at $400-480 million. A company with no revenue announcing a deal larger than anything in its history, in an industry it has never worked in.

27 May 2021material agreement● Neutral

Sky agreed to form a joint venture with South African firm Himmelhoch Petroleum & Gas to trade fuels off Himmelhoch's wholesale licence - a third business direction in four years, and still nothing operating.

7 Mar 2019material agreement● NeutralMajor

Sky signed a second and far bigger Libyan crude contract - 3 million barrels a month for two years from the same Benghazi authority. Nothing in the filings shows the first contract ever produced a cargo, and a company that could not raise $2 million had no plausible way to pay for this.

27 Apr 2017material agreement● NeutralMajor

After two silent years Sky reappeared with something entirely different: a contract to buy 5 million barrels of crude from the Benghazi-based National Oil Corporation in Libya. This is oil trading, not exploration, with no disclosed funding, no Albanian follow-through, and a counterparty that was the rival of the internationally recognised Libyan oil authority.

11 May 2015capital raising announcement▼ BadMajor

A $500,000 two-year convertible note at $0.08 was Sky's last real financing, and on this evidence the company was worth less each time it asked. Its regular reporting stops shortly after this.
