Morning Check, thanks for the NR update on TMK. One item scares the hell out of me...

<<< • The Company is considering the acquisition of production in the United States. It is hoped this will provide the Company with immediate on-going cash flow until the California projects are ready to come on-stream. The Company will only consider projects that can be purchased using bank financing. >>>

Reading between the lines, and remembering that HTP just stated in their latest NR that they will sell up to 50% of their Texas gas properties, I foresee another asset/cash swap between TMK and HTP.
Perhaps such a swap will be for the common good, but little inside dealings like this always scare me, when the two companies have common directorship.
HTP has $14MM debt, which is quite manageable. It is a great idea to sell some recently proved properties and balance the company ledgers.
The thing is, TMK is going to need to raise yet more cash to do so, if I am not mistaken. I foresee another PP around the corner.

Then again, my reading between the lines could be totally wrong.
Any thoughts?
