"I'm wondering how tough it would be now to get a loan using the ARS as collateral."

Doe PTSC even need a loan? I doubt it.,

"Could that be the reason for a request to expand share count?"

Nope... that is not the reason to expand the share count, people that are forward looking, have come to the conclusion that it is IMO enevitable that the MMP will prevail. With that in mind what do you think is going to happen.... a huge DEMAND for shares, especially at these cheap prices.

What are the chances of a favorable USPTO ruling? IMO abut 97 : 1

For the 148, and the 336.

I suspect that before this month is over, will have have to wins with the USPTO.... the rest will fall in place later.

IMO the future investors are watching this stock for the right signal from the USPTO and will pounce on it once we have some kind of approval either the 148 or the 336 or both.
