I doubt that it's a typo. The Oct. 30 date is probably the most recent estimate. If I remember the release regarding the letter of intent, there were no contingencies announced if the target date were not met. So, I doubt that a delay would affect any component of the agreement. These agreements can get quite complicated. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if it's taking a little longer to finalize it than initially anticipated.

Just a hypothetical: *In this scenario shareholders get paid not Mgt.*

Cistron closes its doors.

Cistron buys back the current float of 16 million shares at .23 cents. Cost is $3.68 million.

That leaves 7 million shares in the hands of current shareholders.

Also leaves roughly $8.3 million in cash to distribute to the current shareholders holding those 7 million shares or $1.18 a share.

No premium is given in the above hypothetical for IL-1.
