Great Point...there is still some unknown but don't make it wishful thinking. If the stock was to move closer to the dollar by chance they could have that option. Could be a insurance policy to announce today and get it priced in. Remember they should have a small idea on future PR and it might be enough to get her rolling. Great example is the last PR that is awesome news that gives a distinct advantage everyone want metrics. This becomes big data cloud stuff for empirical evidence that the bloody thing works.
If the company is doing well and it is not a life line it makes sense to not file for an extension. The stock, if the company is legit and profiting can really benefit from a reverse split. It doesn't happen often because it is usually a trick to just stay out of the OTC for longer. We will find out after hours tomorrow after the financials are posted.
