USAT - September 9, 2019 - That's the last date USAT can file BDO's revised financial statements.

When we see them we'll have a pretty good indication as to whether or not USAT will be able to continue as an independent company or if it will need to seek merger or buyout partners.

That's the Monday following the first full slate of NFL Sunday season opening games.

I hope the Giants win and I wake up to great 10K's and 10Q's.
