Quite right. Some people can't see the wood for the trees. I know on the MXO/GE asset swap deal and payment, NCT were fully expecting that MXO owed them 20% of the cash. The most likely outcome was that MXO would not pay out the $380,000 to NCT but carry them for an amount equivalent to the $380,000 on Tecolutla. As always these things are not under NCT's or Randy's control. I know he knew nothing about MXO pulling out of the four licences because I am the one who told him they had done so. So he was expecting that NCT would have 20% of MXO's stake in Tecolutla and to be carried for $380k. NCT's stake would have been around 13% and so NCT would have been carried until the capex topped circa $2.9mil ie., more than enough to get the production going on two closed in wells and a new drill or two. I am still not certain we know the full truth behind what happened on that deal. MXO is also going to be about 2 years behind schedule on getting MX assets; Randy was obviously expecting that he would have been able to sell the warrants by now and make decent money for NCT: again, it has not happened, yet.
