Other Events - Response to NASDAQ Requirement Covol received a letter from Nasdaq requiring, as a condition for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market, that the Company file with the SEC a public document containing a pro forma balance sheet and income statement demonstrating i) a minimum of $5,000,000 in net tangible assets, and ii) positive earnings from operations. The financial statements included in Item 7 are filed in response to this requirement. These financial statements are as of and for the two months ended February 29, 2000 and give effect on a pro forma basis to the following transactions consummated in March 2000: 1) A private placement of common stock was completed on March 23, 2000, which resulted in net cash proceeds of approximately $4,688,000. 2) Conversions by the holder of approximately $130,000 of redeemable preferred stock to common stock. 3) Reclassification of the unconverted redeemable preferred stock (approximately $2,712,000) to equity, as a result of elimination of the provisions that in certain situations allowed the holder of the preferred stock to require the Company to redeem the preferred stock. This transaction was completed on March 15, 2000. While Covol has not received written confirmation that the attached financial information will satisfy Nasdaq's requirements, Covol believes that the financial information demonstrates compliance with the requirements outlined in the letter Covol received from Nasdaq.
