Certain  statements in this Report constitute  forward looking statements within
the meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995. As such,
actual results may vary materially from current  expectations.  For a discussion
of certain  of the  factors  that  could  cause  actual  results to differ  from
expectations,  please see the information  set forth under the caption  entitled
"Forward  Looking  Statements" in PART I, ITEM 2 of Covol's  Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter  ended  December 31,  1999.  There can be no assurance
that  Covol's  results of  operations  will not be  adversely  affected  by such
factors.  Covol  undertakes  no  obligation  to revise or  publicly  release the
results  of any  revision  to  these  forward-looking  statements.  Readers  are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements, which
reflect management's opinion only as of the date hereof.

Item 5. 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.

Notes to Proforma Financial Statements

(a)      Consists of a private  placement of common stock completed on March 23,
         2000.

(b)      Consists of  conversions of the  redeemable  preferred  stock to common
         stock  totalling  $130,000  and  reclassification  of  the  unconverted
         preferred stock  ($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.
         Both of these transactions were finalized on or before March 15, 2000.
