Looking forward to announcement tomorrow - should be positive, page-7

My thought was that maybe a deal was being done somewhere re this announcement. The only reason i say that is that the idea of a trading halt is to stop an unfair advantage for people in the know.
So if it's a straight out directional announcement with a couple of results then why not just announce as no one would get an advantage.
I could be wrong but it gave them a couple of days to get something done.
