ITEM 1. BUSINESS ------ --------
GENERAL -------
Cover-All Technologies Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation formed in 1971, is a provider of state-of-the-art software products for the property/casualty insurance industry through its wholly-owned subsidiary, COVER-ALL Systems, Inc. ("COVER-ALL").
Historically, the Company (formerly Warner Insurance Services, Inc.) also provided services to the automobile insurance industry including underwriting, policy maintenance and claims adjustment which was carried out by its Insurance Services Division ("ISD"). However, in March 1996, the ISD business was transferred to a subsidiary of The Robert Plan Corporation, in connection with the settlement of two lawsuits between the Company and The Robert Plan Corporation and the release of the Company from its obligations under long-term processing contracts with the customers of ISD, and therefore the activities of the ISD are reflected as discontinued operations as more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
During March 1997, the Company announced several major changes as part of its overall strategy. Mr. Brian Magowan was named Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Mark Johnston was named Chief Financial Officer. Four of the existing Board members resigned and two additional Board members, Messrs. Earl Gallegos and Ian Meredith, were added. Further, the Company raised $3 million of financing through the sale of 12 1/2% Convertible Debentures ("Debentures"), due March 2002. The Debentures are convertible into shares of Common Stock at $1.25 per share and carry certain restrictive covenants. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
OVERVIEW
COVER-ALL offers standard as well as customized software application products together with implementation support services to the property/casualty insurance industry. The Company derives revenue from Software Contract Licenses to new and existing customers and from continuing Maintenance Fees for servicing the product. The Company also provides Professional Consulting Services to customize the software for specific uses.
In December 1989, the Company purchased, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, the assets related to the exclusive proprietary rights to a PC-based software application for policy rating and issuance for property/casualty insurance companies. This acquired software has been enhanced and is the Company's "Classic" product line which is one of two current product lines.
The Classic product line is a self-contained rating, issuance and transaction management application system utilized in the property/casualty insurance industry. This software was developed using the Microfocus COBOL language, and the Company has upgraded this product line for use in the Windows 95 operating system. The Company believes that this software product provides cost-effectiveness and flexibility for self-contained Local Area Network ("LAN") systems. The Classic product is in use in over 45 property/casualty insurance companies. Total Classic revenues were $3,654,587 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $2,752,055 and $1,926,822 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Since 1993, COVER-ALL has been developing its second product line entitled the Total Administrative Solution ("TAS 2000") and, as of December 31, 1996, COVER-ALL completed several modules. TAS 2000 comprises an architecture and a suite of application development tools for property/casualty insurers designed to enable a client-driven re- engineering of an insurer's business processes. TAS 2000 applications run on commodity priced open computer systems and use state-of-the-art client/server software technology provided by Oracle Corporation. Total TAS 2000 revenues were $1,814,085 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
$1,366,699 for the year ended December 31, 1995. There were no TAS 2000 revenues for the year ended December 31, 1994.
In 1996, the Company was granted by Care Corporation Limited ("Care") the exclusive license for the Care software systems for use in the workers' compensation and group health claims administration markets in Canada, Mexico and Central and South America. The Care software is an integrated suite of computer applications for the administration of claims processing of workers' compensation. The software utilizes the "Open System" environment and, in particular, relational database technology. The product has been successfully deployed in Australia and the United States in Third Party Administration ("TPA") and self insured environments, including city and state government operations as well as with major private corporations. A feature of the software is the integration of advanced managed care algorithms and databases.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION -------------------
CLASSIC PRODUCT LINE --------------------
The Classic product line is a set of LAN based PC software packages designed to automate the rating and issuance tasks in the property and casualty insurance industry. Functionality includes rating and issuance for quoting new business, mid-term changes, cancellations, reinstatements and renewals. Multiple recipient copies of all relevant documentation for each of these transactions, including quote summaries, declaration pages and mandatory and optional manuscript forms, are printed by the system's print engine. This product life cycle functionality is supported for property and casualty lines of business in a user friendly system.
The Company believes that the Classic product line brings to the customer many useful functions, features and capabilities. Some are line of business specific and some are line of business independent. These include:
- Clear and comprehensive data collection - On-line system level, screen level, and field level help - On-line ISO Commercial Lines Manual Tables and Footnotes - Easy and direct system navigation - Standard Bureau coverages and rates support - Company customized coverages and rates support - Fully automated recipient driven issuance of declaration pages, worksheets, ID card, etc. - Help Desk assistance - Remote diagnostic and fix capabilities
The Classic products were originally brought to the marketplace in the mid 1980's and subsequently have been enhanced to provide greater functionality and to better utilize newer technology. The Classic product line is based upon several specific proprietary design features. COVER-ALL has upgraded the Classic product line for use in the Windows 95 operating system. This makes it a Graphical User Interface ("GUI") application. This enhancement increases user friendliness and provides customers with an easier integration of peripheral support applications (e.g., imaging, work flow management, etc.).
TAS 2000 PRODUCT LINE ---------------------
The TAS 2000 product line was developed to be used for client/server Wide Area Network ("WAN") applications in the property/casualty industry. COVER-ALL created the TAS 2000 product line to better position itself to penetrate the larger customer market segment. The client/server architectural concept allows companies to take advantage of the power of distributed processing. The TAS 2000 product line currently includes the following application modules:
- Client Management - End User Tools - Agency Profile Management - Product Developer - Policy Administration
The TAS 2000 has Windows compliant GUI to enhance its user friendliness. The TAS 2000 can be used on many different client/server hardware platforms and offers capability to process the voluminous transactions that are common to large scale insurance operations. The TAS 2000 is an architecture of open LAN and WAN based modules possessing varying elements of interdependence.
The changing of the century is an issue which has never been faced in the computer industry and poses a massive problem for automation systems previously designed and currently being used. Companies must modify their systems to accommodate a four-digit year in order to properly affect the calculations and sorting routines which provide the core of their data processing accuracy. Although seemingly minor, this change requires finding, analyzing, implementing and testing tens of thousands of isolated incidents within millions of lines of source code. The cost for the industry can reach into the millions of dollars to affect proper change. The TAS 2000 product line already accommodates the advent of the new century. All of a customer's "date affected" programs must be fully tested for interoperatibility, as must any programs which transfer date sensitive data, to a customer's system, whether by Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") or other means. Any such program, which has not been correctly changed to address the millennium issue, has the potential to corrupt the customer's database and cause a system failure.
COVER-ALL intends to continue to enhance both of its product lines based on customer needs and changes in technology. COVER-ALL is also committed to maintaining a quality support service program for its customers.
COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS --------------------
The Company believes that its products offer customers certain advantages not available from COVER-ALL's competitors. The Classic product line has significant functionality and can accommodate specific customer requirements while retaining a single source integrated core system, thus making the system cost effective. TAS 2000's architecture is distinguished from competitive offerings by the integrated use of Oracle's relational database and the Designer 2000 and Developer 2000 tool sets. The underlying database and language used for the TAS 2000 products are the Oracle Relational Database Management System and the Oracle Cooperative Development Environment products. These products provide an integrated application environment. Through Oracle's tools, these new products take advantage of the power of Oracle Version 7 on over 90 different server platforms. This software allows processing to be centralized, dedicated to specific server(s) or clients or distributed across the network. The TAS 2000 product line was developed with an emphasis on quality from the conceptual design stage using Oracle CASE tools through to the physical coding and testing phases.
COVER-ALL's competitors for both of its product lines are in most instances larger and financially stronger than the Company. The Classic product line competes primarily with three competitors who are also actively selling LAN based policy rating and issuance software used by property/casualty insurance companies. The TAS 2000 primary competitors are two systems' suppliers who are also larger and financially stronger than the Company.
MARKETING ---------
The Company maintains a sales staff at its principal executive offices in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. The Company also utilizes distributors and outside consultants to market its products. The Company also participates in and displays its software products at trade shows organized by industry trade groups.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ------------------------
COVER-ALL's business is characterized by rapid technological change. The Company's success will depend, in part, on its ability to keep its products current based on new technologies. Accordingly, the Company must maintain ongoing research and development programs to continually add value to its suite of products, as well as any possible expansion of its product lines. The Company believes that research and development expenditures will continue to constitute a significant percentage of revenues.
Research and development expenses for COVER-ALL were $1,846,410, $1,932,920 and $2,499,436 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
BACKLOG -------
Backlog is not applicable to the business of the Company.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS ---------------
The Classic product line is in use in over forty-five property/casualty insurance companies while the TAS 2000 product line is currently in use in one property/casualty insurance company. The Company's revenues from major customers (more than 10 percent of total revenues) for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 as a percentage of total revenue were as follows:
YEAR YEAR YEAR ENDED ENDED ENDED DECEMBER DECEMBER DECEMBER CUSTOMER 31, 1996 31, 1995 31, 1994 -------- -------- --------- --------
Sun Alliance Management 27% 16% Services Glatfelter Insurance Group 13% Millers Insurance Group 13% 13% New Jersey State Medical 18% Underwriters Secura, Inc. 11% Empire Insurance Company 17%
In 1996 and 1995 export sales were made to a U.K. customer of approximately $1,465,000 and $640,000, respectively.
EMPLOYEES ---------
The Company had over 80 employees during 1996 and 52 employees at year-end. None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union, and the Company has not experienced any work stoppages. The Company believes that relations with its employees are good.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS -----------------------
INSURANCE SERVICES DIVISION ---------------------------
ISD revenues decreased substantially in 1994 and 1995 because of lower fees attributable to the reduced number of policies and claims being handled on contracts that were winding down or were completed. As a result, ISD suffered losses and operated under considerable uncertainty as a result of the pendency of lawsuits with certain affiliates of The Robert Plan Corporation. In March 1996, the Company entered into a series of agreements which
provided for the transfer and discontinuance of its ISD operations and the issuance of the Company's Common Stock and Warrants to certain customers of the ISD business in exchange for the release of the Company from its obligations to provide insurance services to ISD customers and to The Robert Plan Corporation in exchange for the settlement and dismissal of two lawsuits with The Robert Plan Corporation. Effective March 1, 1996 the Company discontinued providing insurance processing services to the automobile insurance industry and reflected those activities as discontinued operations in its Financial Statements. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of the restructuring transactions (the "Restructuring"), the Company transferred certain assets, employees, contracts and leased premises relating to its ISD business to a subsidiary of The Robert Plan Corporation, which replaced the Company as the provider of insurance services to the ISD customers. In exchange for settling the lawsuits, releasing the Company's obligations to provide insurance services under its contracts and executing mutual releases, the Company issued to certain of the ISD customers and certain parties to the litigation: (a) a total of 3,256,201 shares of the Company's Common Stock, (b) five-year Warrants to purchase up to an additional aggregate of 1,553,125 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $2.00 per share and (c) cash of $2.5 million. The Company had the option, exercisable for a period of six months, to (i) purchase 50% of the aforementioned 3,256,201 shares at a cash price equal to the greater of $3.00 or 50% of the then market price of a share of the Company's Common Stock and (ii) acquire 50% of the 1,553,125 Warrants at a cash price equal to $1.00 per Warrant. On March 31, 1996, the Company assigned its aforementioned repurchase option applicable to the Company's Common Stock and Warrants to Software Investments Limited ("SIL"). SIL subsequently exercised all of the options to purchase the Company's Common Stock and Warrants as discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result of the issuance of shares described in Note 9, the antidilution provisions of the Warrants required an adjustment of shares to 1,725,694 from 1,553,125 and a price adjustment to $1.80 from $2.00 per share. As a result of the issuance of the 12 1/2% Convertible Debentures discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Warrants may require a further adjustment to the number of shares purchasable and the exercise price.
In late 1993, the Company established Alerion, a wholly-owned property/casualty insurance subsidiary. By early 1994, the Company had funded Alerion with approximately $10 million of cash and securities and Alerion entered into a reinsurance agreement with Clarendon National Insurance Company ("Clarendon") to reinsure a portion of the risk on certain insurance policies written by a primary insurer. In late 1994, the Company decided to discontinue assuming any underlying insurance risk. This was accomplished by Alerion commuting all its rights and obligations under the reinsurance contract back to Clarendon and paying to Clarendon all amounts received in excess of payments made since the inception. In 1996, Alerion surrendered its Certificate of Authority to transact insurance business in New Jersey.
ITEM 2.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES ------ ----------
The Company's headquarters is located in Fair Lawn, New Jersey where it occupies approximately 36,000 square feet under a lease which expires in 2000 at a current annual rental expense of approximately $400,000.
In addition, the Company also leased a facility with approximately 22,000 square feet in Somerset, New Jersey. This lease was to expire in 2002 but was terminated in December 1996 at a cost of $371,408. This facility was previously used by ISD and the Company did not anticipate utilizing this facility in the near future.
Pursuant to the Restructuring entered into in March 1996 (See Discontinued Operations) the Company's lease for its former principal headquarters has been transferred to The Robert Plan Corporation.
The Company believes that its headquarters is well maintained and adequate to meet its needs in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ------- -----------------
In March 1994, Material Damage Adjustment Corporation ("MDA"), a subsidiary of The Robert Plan Corporation and a subcontractor for the Company performing claims processing work, instituted an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey seeking injunctive relief requiring that the Company turn over to MDA in excess of $1 million that the Company had withheld from certain claims fees allegedly owed to MDA. This action arose out of the Company's servicing contract with the Market Transition Facility of New Jersey ("MTF"). The Company had withheld the funds as a set off to cover unpaid invoices for data processing services rendered by the Company for MDA. MDA also added a claim for approximately $2.5 million of surcharge fees paid to the Company by the MTF. The MTF was brought into the case to resolve disputes between MTF and MDA over refunds of claims fees paid on claims later closed without payment ("CWP's"). The Company vigorously contested MDA's claims and asserted counterclaims against MDA to establish the Company's entitlement to the disputed sums.
In May 1994, the Company filed an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey against Lion Insurance Company, National Consumer Insurance Corporation and The Robert Plan Corporation seeking payment of unsatisfied invoices under an April 1991 agreement totalling approximately $2.7 million. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to provide data processing services for a three-year term in support of Lion Insurance Company's "depopulation pool" automobile insurance business in New Jersey. Lion Insurance Company is a subsidiary of The Robert Plan Corporation whose affiliate, National Consumer Insurance Corporation, has taken over the "depopulation pool" business. The Robert Plan Corporation guaranteed Lion's performance and payment.
On March 1, 1996, the two lawsuits described above were settled as part of the overall settlement with certain of the Company's insurance services customers. The settlement and restructuring transactions are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On February 2, 1995, Sol M. Seltzer commenced an action in the Supreme Court of New York against Mr. Krieger, the then Chairman of the Board and former President of the Company, and each of the other then members of the Board of Directors. The plaintiff, Sol M. Seltzer, who purported to sue derivatively on behalf of the Company and COVER-ALL, sought among other things, compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial and punitive damages in an aggregate amount of $12 million. Sol M. Seltzer was a vice president of the Company and a director of COVER-ALL until he resigned from such positions in late 1994. The plaintiff alleged, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, waste and mismanagement, as well as alleged wrongful acts by the Board and the former President, including among other things, self-dealing and misuse of corporate funds by the former President. The Company, and the other defendants, contested Mr. Seltzer's claims and on July 23, 1996 won a motion to dismiss the case. Mr. Seltzer attempted to file a notice of appeal from the order of dismissal, but failed to do so in a timely manner. He has since motioned the court to recognize his notice of appeal and it is anticipated that the court will rule on such motion in the near future.
On February 6, 1995, the Company commenced an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey against Sol M. Seltzer, a former vice president of the Company and a director of COVER-ALL, alleging fraud, mismanagement, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the development and implementation of COVER-ALL's TAS 2000 software product. The Company claimed compensatory and punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial. The case was largely inactive pending the motion to dismiss Seltzer's New York action. After the dismissal of the New York case brought by Seltzer, the Company voluntarily dismissed the New Jersey case without prejudice.
In addition to the above lawsuits, the Company is named as defendant in a number of legal actions arising from its operations. All of these actions have been considered in establishing liabilities. Management and its legal counsel are of the opinion that these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND ------- --------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ---------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ---------------------
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS -----------------------
During the years 1994 and 1995, the Company derived most of its revenues from providing full service automobile insurance services (policy processing, policy administration and claims administration) through its ISD business. The Company has also provided state-of-the-art computer products for the property casualty insurance industry through its wholly-owned subsidiary, COVER-ALL.
ISD revenues in 1994 and 1995 primarily consisted of policy administration and claims servicing fees from customers such as Atlantic/Pacific Employers Insurance Company and to a lesser extent, Clarendon National Insurance Company ("Clarendon"), for servicing policies in the New Jersey voluntary and assigned risk markets. The contract with Atlantic/Pacific Employers Insurance Company reached its peak level of activity in 1994 and policy volumes declined sharply in 1995. During 1995 and 1996, Atlantic/Pacific Employers Insurance Company planned to non-renew all of their auto insurance policies in New Jersey in accordance with the accelerated withdrawal order entered into with the New Jersey Department of Insurance in August 1994. In addition, the MTF program had been phasing out since 1994 and, as of March 1, 1996, the Company's contracted activity for the MTF ended.
Revenues earned under the contract with Clarendon involved full service policy administration and claims services for approximately 18 percent of the assigned risk drivers in New Jersey. This activity started in 1993 with the commencement of the New Jersey Personal Automobile Insurance Plan ("PAIP") following the end of New Jersey's direct insurance program provided by its MTF. The Company's service for Clarendon was performed under New Jersey's Limited Assignment Distribution Program ("LAD") which required that servicing carriers such as the Company bear some of the underlying insurance risk of the policies being handled. For this reason, the Company formed a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Alerion, and effective January 1, 1994, Alerion reinsured a portion of Clarendon's insurance risk under the PAIP program.
By the end of 1994, the Company decided that risk taking, even as a reinsurer, was not an attractive business strategy, particularly because of the substantial capital required by its insurance subsidiary relative to other Company capital commitments. The Company and Clarendon agreed, therefore, to end the reinsurance arrangement in the fourth quarter of 1994 and "commute" all reinsurance interests and liabilities back to the inception of the agreement, thus eliminating all reinsurance activity of Alerion. This had the effect of reducing revenues by $6.1 million and operating income by $.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1994. Since the Company was no longer willing to share in the underlying insurance risk of PAIP policies, it could not, by law, continue to provide policy administration and claims servicing to Clarendon under the LAD program after 1994.
Most of the Company's insurance services contracts included a variable fee structure based on the loss ratios of the underlying insurance policies which could increase or decrease fee revenues. The Company obtained periodic independent actuarial evaluations of the loss ratios for these programs and adjusted the amount of its revenue when required. Subsequent to December 31, 1994, the Company obtained independent actuarial projections of loss adjustment expenses expected to be incurred in 1995 and beyond with respect to the Company's contractual obligations under its insurance services contracts. As a result of this review, the Company determined that its deferred contract revenues at the end of 1994 should be increased by $4.1 million to adequately cover contract costs and profit margins in 1995 and beyond. This change in accounting estimate was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1994 as a reduction of insurance services revenue.
In the fourth quarter of 1994, ISD wrote off $2.3 million of unamortized capitalized software development costs previously incurred to develop a version of the COVER-ALL system for use in-house to process policies and claims.
As a result of the developments discussed above, ISD was suffering losses and, in addition, was operating under considerable uncertainty because of the pendency of lawsuits with certain affiliates of The Robert Plan Corporation, a customer and subcontractor for the Company. In March 1996, the Company entered into a series of agreements resulting in the settlement and dismissal of the lawsuits and the release of the Company from continuing obligations under contracts for the provision of insurance services to ISD customers. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the various financial elements of those agreements. In essence, the Company no longer offers full service automobile insurance services, and its ISD operations have been transferred to a subsidiary of The Robert Plan Corporation which has replaced the Company as a service provider to such customers.
These agreements have resulted in a net loss for 1996 and 1995 of $392,872 and $749,758, respectively. The additional net loss for 1996 relates to additional loss adjustment expenses (mostly legal fees), pertaining to the discontinued operations, in excess of the amount accrued in 1995. The 1995 net loss includes a provision for estimated ISD losses in 1996 prior to the March 1, 1996 effective date of the Restructuring.
Accordingly, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated for all periods to reflect ISD operations as "discontinued operations."
CONTINUING OPERATIONS ---------------------
Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 1995 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total revenues were $5,468,672 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $4,118,754 for the year ended December 31, 1995, an increase of 33%. License fees were $1,044,460 for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to $1,421,866 in the same period in 1995 due to the sale of one additional contract in 1995. For the year ended December 31, 1996, maintenance revenues were $2,252,378 compared to $1,174,150 in the same period of the prior year due to an increased customer base and renegotiations of all contracts resulting in higher fees to customers. Professional services revenue contributed $2,171,834 for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to $1,522,738 for the year 1995 as a result of new contracts signed and customers requesting additional modifications to the existing systems.
Cost of sales increased to $4,585,727 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $1,329,693 for 1995. Significant increases in capitalized software and license fees amortization, and salary and benefit costs relating to dedication of resources to maintenance and professional services, accounted for the bulk of the increase. In addition, the Company wrote off approximately $500,000 of unamortized capitalized software costs representing certain modules of the TAS 2000 product line not expected to be completed in the near future due to reprioritizing of marketing and development efforts.
Research and development expenses in 1996 decreased slightly to $1,846,410 compared to $1,932,920 for the year ended December 31, 1995 due to personnel reductions in the Engineering Department and the decision to focus the Company's Engineering resources on completing several TAS 2000 modules for the marketplace. In the future, the Company will continue to dedicate significant resources to its ongoing research and development efforts since its success depends on its ability to keep products current based on new technologies.
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $1,124,884 in 1996 compared to $465,045 as of December 31, 1995 due mostly to increased salary and benefit costs. The Company allocated additional resources to its sales and marketing group to work on a proposal for a major contract.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately 27% to $3,519,973 in 1996 from $2,770,186 for the year ended December 31, 1995 due to costs incurred in connection with the procurement of the SIL and CARE contracts and additional staffing. In addition, the Company terminated the lease at the Somerset facility for a cost of $371,408 since the anticipated utilization of this facility to house a significant number of new employees to work on a joint venture project with a new customer did not occur.
A loss from discontinued operations of $392,872 was recorded in the year ended December 31, 1996 as a result of additional loss adjustment expenses in excess of the amount anticipated at December 31, 1995.
The Company is working toward fulfilling long-term objectives. In the Classic line, COVER-ALL has been positioned to increase market share in 1997 as a result of the successful completion of the project making it Windows 95 compliant and maintaining the strengths upon which its current market acceptance is based.
In 1996, COVER-ALL formed an alliance with ORACLE Corporation related to the TAS 2000 product to facilitate the advance of both organizations in the property and casualty insurance marketplace. ORACLE will provide technical assistance, consultative services as well as sales direction and support to the TAS 2000 market entry. The Company has completed some of the major components of the TAS 2000 product. Future development of additional modules will be customer driven.
COVER-ALL has commenced marketing efforts in the United Kingdom. A contract for the TAS 2000 product successfully installed in a large insurer in the United Kingdom is expected to expand in the next year. This successful installation has increased customer awareness of the TAS 2000 product in the United Kingdom and Europe.
A marketing campaign for the Care software is presently under way in Canada.
The preceding forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act) are subject to the occurrence of certain contingencies which may not occur in the time frames anticipated or otherwise, and, as a result, could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These contingencies include the successful completion of continuing developmental efforts under existing software contracts within anticipated time frames or otherwise, the successful negotiation, execution and implementation of anticipated new software contracts, the successful utilization of additional personnel in the marketing and technical areas, the continuing favorable responses to the Company's products from existing and potential new customers, and the Company's ability to complete development and sell and license its products at prices which result in sufficient revenues to realize profits.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total revenues were $4,118,754 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared with $1,926,822 for the year ended December 31, 1994, reflecting increasing progress on initial installations of TAS 2000 and increased fee arrangements for professional support to most customers.
In December 1994, management adopted a plan to reduce the COVER-ALL marketing and product development costs until revenues increased to significantly higher levels. The total cash outlay had grown to a level of approximately $1 million per month but the revenues from customers continued to lag expectations. The total head count, including employees and technical consultants, was reduced by approximately one half in the first quarter of 1995 and a business plan was adopted for 1995 which would match slowly growing revenues with reduced costs. In addition, the sales offices in most cities were closed and sales staffing reduced by over 50 percent.
As a result of this reorganization plan for COVER-ALL, special charges were reported in the fourth quarter of 1994 to write down a substantial portion of the unamortized capitalized software development costs (approximately $2.7 million) and accrue for excess facilities and other costs ($.6 million). Additional costs were
incurred in the first quarter of 1995 for executive severance, employee severance, and write-off of software development costs as the COVER-ALL reorganization was completed. These 1995 provisions and write-offs, aggregating $1,165,000, were reflected as special charges in the Statement of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
As described in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, no net income tax benefit is available to the Company with respect to the loss it incurred in 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES -------------------------------
At December 31, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,293,128 compared to a working capital deficit of $8,716,643 in 1995. The improvement in working capital was due to the discharging of liabilities relating to the discontinued operations through the issuance of the Company's common stock and warrants with a fair value of approximately $7 million.
In March 1996, the Company received $3,022,391 from the sale of Common Stock and Warrants and another $1,553,124 in May 1996 from the sale of additional Common Stock pursuant to a series of transactions with Software Investments Limited and Care Corporation Limited that are described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On March 31, 1997, the Company sold $3,000,000 of 12 1/2% Convertible Debentures due March 2002 (the "Debentures") to an institutional investor. The Debentures were sold at face value, pay interest quarterly and are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock of the Company at $1.25 per share, subject to adjustment. The Debentures contain certain covenants which restrict the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, pay dividends or other defined restricted payments and make investments and acquisitions. The Company cannot redeem the Debentures for two years and thereafter may only call the Debentures if the closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the twenty business days preceding the redemption date exceeds $1.50. The net proceeds from this financing will be used for working capital purposes.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995 the Company had approximately $14,000,000 and $7,000,000 of operating tax loss carryforwards expiring in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules which limit a company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in periods following an ownership change. These rules define an ownership change as a greater than 50 percent point change in stock ownership within a defined testing period which is generally a three-year period. As a result of stock issued relative to the Restructuring and other stock which may be issued related to the Debentures (see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) the Company may experience an ownership change and consequently the Company's utilization of its net operating losses could be significantly limited.
At this time the Company does not anticipate having to make any significant investment in software development. The Company believes that the proceeds from the sale of the Debentures, its current cash balances and anticipated cash flows from continuing operations will be sufficient to meet normal operating needs for the continuing COVER-ALL business in 1997.

COVER-ALL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES --------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS -----------------------
COVER-ALL Technologies Inc. (formerly Warner Insurance Services, Inc.), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, COVER-ALL Systems, Inc. ("COVER-ALL"), licenses and maintains its software products to the property/casualty insurance industry throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom. COVER-ALL also provides professional consulting services to its customers interested in customizing their software. In 1996, COVER-ALL was granted by Care Corporation Limited ("Care") the exclusive license for the Care software systems for use in the workers' compensation and group health claims administration markets in Canada, Mexico and Central and South America.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION ---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of Cover-All Technologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Company"). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES ----------------
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION -------------------
Revenue from the sale of software licenses is recognized as modules and modifications are provided and accepted by the customer. Revenue from software maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the life of the contract. Revenue from professional consulting services is recognized when the service is provided.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK -----------------------------
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable.
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions to limit its credit exposure. The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these investments. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the wide variety of customers, principally major insurance companies, who are dispersed across many geographic regions. Three major customers accounted for a significant portion of the Company's trade accounts receivable portfolio. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers but does not require collateral. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses.
INSURANCE COMPANY -----------------
In late 1993, the Company obtained approval from the New Jersey Department of Insurance to form Alerion Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Alerion"). Alerion entered into a reinsurance agreement with Clarendon National Insurance Company ("Clarendon") to assume a portion of Clarendon's risk in the New Jersey Assigned Risk Program. The subsidiary was initially capitalized with $10 million. During the fourth quarter of
COVER-ALL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
1994, the Company decided to discontinue assuming any underlying insurance risk. This was accomplished by Alerion commuting all its rights and obligations under the reinsurance contract back to Clarendon and paying to Clarendon all amounts received in excess of payments made since the inception of the reinsurance contract in January 1994. In 1996, Alerion surrendered its Certificate of Authority to transact insurance business in New Jersey.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES ---------------------
As of January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). SFAS No. 115 requires that investments in fixed maturity securities and those equity securities with readily determinable market values be classified into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available- for-sale. Classification of investments is based upon management's current intent. The impact of adoption was not material to the Company. All of the Company's fixed maturity securities, which consist of municipal, state, and mortgage-backed securities with original maturities in excess of three months, have been categorized as available-for-sale and recorded at their fair value at December 31, 1994. Unrealized depreciation of the securities available for sale at December 31, 1994 ($237,737) was recorded as a realized loss in 1994 because the securities, which were held by the Company's insurance subsidiary, were either sold, or expected to be sold in early 1995 in connection with the liquidation or sale of the insurance subsidiary.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT ----------------------
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line method over three to ten years, which approximates the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Routine maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred and renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reported as income or expense.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE --------------------
Certain software development costs are being capitalized and amortized over a three-year period. The software license (see Note 9) is being amortized over a five-year period. In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company wrote down the unamortized capitalized software costs by approximately $2.7 million (see Note 3). In addition, during the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company wrote off approximately $500,000 of unamortized software development costs representing certain modules of the TAS 2000 product line not expected to be completed in the near future due to reprioritizing of marketing and development efforts. This write off is reflected in cost of sales in 1996.
COVER-ALL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES ------------
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Such differences relate primarily to: the application of different depreciation methods for tax versus financial reporting purposes; the amortization of capitalized software costs for financial statement purposes and the current write-off for tax purposes; revenue recognition and the alternative minimum tax credit carryover. Cash (received) paid for income taxes was: 1996 -($2,375,000), 1995 -($2,600,000), and 1994 - $1,375,000.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ------------------------
For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, $1,846,410, $1,932,920 and $2,499,436, respectively, was expensed for research and development of new software products. These expenses are in addition to software development costs which are capitalized and then amortized over their expected useful lives.
NET LOSS PER SHARE ------------------
Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and, where applicable, common share equivalents outstanding during the periods.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ------------------------
The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25") with regard to the accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized only when the exercise price of options is below the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.
RECLASSIFICATIONS -----------------
Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1994 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation.
NOTE 2--DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS -------------------------------
Insurance Services Division ("ISD") revenues decreased substantially in 1994 and 1995 because of lower fees attributable to the reduced number of policies and claims being handled on contracts that were winding down or were completed. As a result, ISD had been suffering losses and operating under considerable uncertainty as a result of the pendency of lawsuits with certain affiliates of The Robert Plan Corporation ("The Robert Plan Corporation") as described in Note 4. In March 1996, the Company entered into a series of agreements which provided for the transfer and discontinuance of its ISD operations and the issuance of the Company's Common Stock and Warrants to certain customers of the ISD business in exchange for the release of the Company from its obligations to provide insurance services to ISD customers and to The Robert Plan Corporation in exchange for the settlement and dismissal of lawsuits with The Robert Plan Corporation. Effective March 1, 1996 the Company has discontinued providing insurance processing services to the automobile insurance industry and has reflected those activities as discontinued operations in its Financial Statements.
COVER-ALL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
As part of the restructuring transactions (the "Restructuring"), the Company transferred certain assets, employees, contracts and leased premises relating to its ISD business to a subsidiary of The Robert Plan Corporation, which has replaced the Company as the provider of insurance services to the ISD customers. In exchange for settling the lawsuits, releasing the Company's obligations to provide insurance services under its contracts and executing the mutual releases, the Company issued to certain of the ISD customers and certain parties to the litigation: (a) a total of 3,256,201 shares of the Company's Common Stock, (b) five-year Warrants to purchase up to an additional aggregate of 1,553,125 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $2.00 per share and (c) cash of $2.5 million. The holders of these securities can request the Company to register these securities with such registration costs to be paid by the Company. The Company had the option, exercisable for a period of six months (from March 1, 1996), to (i) purchase 50% of the aforementioned 3,256,201 shares at a cash price equal to the greater of $3.00 or 50% of the then market price of a share of the Company's Common Stock and (ii) acquire 50% of the 1,553,125 Warrants at a cash price equal to $1.00 per Warrant. On March 31, 1996, the Company assigned its aforementioned repurchase option applicable to the Company's Common Stock and Warrants to Software Investment Limited ("SIL"), which SIL subsequently exercised, as discussed in Note 9. As a result of the issuance of shares described in Note 9, the antidilution provisions of the Warrants required an adjustment of shares to 1,725,694 from 1,553,125 and a price adjustment to $1.80 from $2.00 per share.
Assets and liabilities of the discontinued ISD operations, classified separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are summarized as follows:
December 31, ---------- Cash $ 2,487,500 Accounts receivable 18,722,178 Other current assets 155,370 Property and equipment, net 1,674,639 Capitalized software, net 81,494 Other assets 21,017 Accounts payable (459,111) Accrued expenses (10,771,406) Unearned contract revenue (20,560,049) ---------- Net liabilities $ (8,648,368) ==========
The discontinuance of ISD resulted in a $392,872 loss in 1996 and a $749,758 loss in 1995.
The Consolidated Statements of Operations have been restated for all periods to report the net results of the ISD operations as loss from discontinued operations. The results of ISD are summarized as follows:

NOTE 3--SPECIAL CHARGES
In March 1994, the Company adopted a plan to implement a tax-free spin-off of 100% of the stock of COVER-ALL on a pro rata basis to the Company's stockholders. On November 11, 1994, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had voted to retain COVER-ALL, thereby canceling the spin-off plan. Prior to 1995 COVER-ALL revenues came from licensing of its Classic software product line and services. Since 1993 COVER-ALL has been developing a suite of computer applications for property and casualty insurers entitled the Total Administration Solution ("TAS 2000"). TAS 2000 is designed to enable a client-driven re-engineering of the insurer's business programs. TAS 2000 applications run on commodity priced open computer systems and use state-of-the-art client/server technology provided by Oracle Corporation.
In December 1994, management instituted a plan to down-size the COVER-ALL organization and reduce the rate of product development to a level consistent with the reduced level of customer installations planned for 1995. As a result, unamortized software development costs related to modules of the TAS 2000 application for which the development process had been curtailed were written down by $2,733,000 and provision of $640,000 was made at December 31, 1994 for excess facilities and equipment appropriate for the smaller organization. Costs of $1,165,000 were incurred and written off in the first quarter of 1995 for executive and other severance costs as well as additional software development costs.
These write-offs and provisions were reflected as special charges in the 1995 and 1994 Statements of Operations.
NOTE 4--LITIGATION
In March 1994, Material Damage Adjustment Corporation ("MDA"), a subsidiary of The Robert Plan Corporation and a subcontractor for the Company performing claims processing work, instituted an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey seeking injunctive relief requiring that the Company turn over to MDA in excess of $1 million that the Company had withheld from certain claims fees allegedly owed to MDA. This action arose out of the Company's servicing contract with the Market Transition Facility of New Jersey ("MTF"). The Company had withheld the funds as a set off to cover unpaid invoices for data processing services rendered by the Company for MDA. MDA also added a claim for approximately $2.5 million of surcharge fees paid to the Company by the MTF. The MTF was brought into the case to resolve disputes between MTF and MDA over refunds of claims fees paid on claims later closed without payment ("CWP's"). The Company vigorously contested MDA's claims and asserted counterclaims against MDA to establish the Company's entitlement to the disputed sums.
COVER-ALL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
In May 1994, the Company filed an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey against Lion Insurance Company, National Consumer Insurance Corporation, and The Robert Plan Corporation seeking payment of unsatisfied invoices under an April 1991 agreement totalling approximately $2.7 million. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to provide data processing services for a three-year term in support of Lion Insurance Company's "depopulation pool" automobile insurance business in New Jersey. Lion Insurance Company is a subsidiary of The Robert Plan Corporation whose affiliate, National Consumer Insurance Corporation, has taken over the "depopulation pool" business. The Robert Plan Corporation guaranteed Lion's performance and payment.
On March 1, 1996, the two lawsuits described above were settled as part of the overall settlement with certain of the Company's insurance services customers. The settlement and restructuring transactions are described in Note 2.
On February 2, 1995, Sol M. Seltzer commenced an action in the Supreme Court of New York against Mr. Krieger, the then Chairman of the Board and former President of the Company, and each of the other then members of the Board of Directors. The plaintiff, Sol M. Seltzer, who purported to sue derivatively on behalf of the Company and COVER-ALL, sought among other things, compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial and punitive damages in an aggregate amount of $12 million. Sol M. Seltzer was a vice president of the Company and a director of COVER-ALL until he resigned from such positions in late 1994. The plaintiff alleged, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, waste and mismanagement, as well as alleged wrongful acts by the Board and the former President, including among other things, self-dealing and misuse of corporate funds by the former President. The Company, and the other defendants, contested Mr. Seltzer's claims and on July 23, 1996 won a motion to dismiss the case. Mr. Seltzer attempted to file a notice of appeal from the order of dismissal, but failed to do so in a timely manner. He has since motioned the court to recognize his notice of appeal and it is anticipated that the court will rule on such motion in the near future.
On February 6, 1995, the Company commenced an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey against Sol M. Seltzer, a former vice president of the Company and a director of COVER-ALL, alleging fraud, mismanagement, negligence, misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the development and implementation of COVER-ALL's TAS 2000 software product. The Company claimed compensatory and punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial. The case was largely inactive pending the motion to dismiss Seltzer's New York action. After the dismissal of the New York case brought by Seltzer, the Company voluntarily dismissed the New Jersey case without prejudice.
In addition to the above lawsuits, the Company is named as defendant in a number of legal actions arising from its operations. All of these actions have been considered in establishing liabilities. Management and its legal counsel are of the opinion that these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 5--COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER
OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases office space in Fair Lawn, NJ, where it occupies approximately 36,000 square feet, under a lease which expires in 2000. The current annual rental expense is approximately $400,000. The lease includes escalation clauses for increased real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses. The lease provides for a renewal period of five years.
COVER-ALL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Rent expense for COVER-ALL office space was $334,170, $174,710, and $265,363, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company's future minimum rental commitments under its noncancellable operating lease in effect at December 31, 1996 follows: years ending December 31, 1997 -$400,000; 1998 -$400,000; 1999 -$400,000; 2000 -$170,000; thereafter -NONE.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
The Company has employment contracts with certain of its executives with various dates of expiration through the year ending December 31, 1998.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A director of the Company is a partner in a law firm with which the Company incurred legal expenses of approximately $600,000, $360,000 and $500,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
LETTER OF CREDIT
At December 31, 1994, the Company had an outstanding letter of credit for $1,000,000 with First Fidelity Bank, N.A., NJ, which guaranteed a performance bond issued in connection with the Company's contract with the JUA/MTF, an ISD customer. In February 1995, this letter of credit was replaced by a $1,000,000 letter of credit issued by Chase Manhattan Bank N.A. which was collateralized by $1,000,000 that was placed in a restricted account. The letter of credit expired in February 1996 and the $1,000,000 of cash collateral was returned to the Company.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS
COVER-ALL had a substantial portion of its revenues from three customers in 1996 and 1995 and two customers in 1994 as follows:

COVER-ALL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1996 and 1995 the Company had approximately $14,000,000 and $7,000,000 of operating tax loss carryforwards expiring in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules which limit a company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in periods following an ownership change. These rules define an ownership change as a greater than 50 percent point change in stock ownership within a defined testing period which is generally a three-year period. As a result of stock issued relative to the Restructuring and other stock which may be issued related to the Debentures (see Note 12) the Company may experience an ownership change and consequently the Company's utilization of its net operating losses could be significantly limited.
NOTE 7--STOCK OPTION AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS
In March 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan. Options for the purchase of up to 600,000 shares may be granted by of the Board of Directors to employees of the Company at an exercise price determined by the Board of Directors or the date of grant. Options may be granted as incentive or non-qualified stock options with a term of not more than ten years. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, 210,175 and 482,325 shares, respectively, were available for grant.
On November 15, 1994 the Company adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan for Independent Directors. Options for the purchase of up to 300,000 shares may be granted to directors of the Company who are not employees ("non-employee director"). Each non-employee director who is serving on "Date of Grant" shall automatically be granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at the fair market value of Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Dates of Grant are November 15, 1994, 1999, 2004, and 2009 for non-employee directors serving on November 15, 1994. For individuals who become non-employee directors after November 15, 1994, such directors' Dates of Grant will be the date such individual becomes a director and the fifth, tenth and fifteenth anniversaries of such date. Options are exercisable in full 6 months after the applicable date of grant and expire 5 years after the date of grant. At December 31, 1996, and 1995, 240,000 and 260,000 shares, respectively, were available for grant.
In October 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Consultants. Options for the purchase of up to 200,000 shares may be granted by the Board of Directors to any individual who has entered into a written consulting contract with the Company. The non- qualified stock options will have a 5 year term from date of grant and will be exercisable at a price and time as determined by the Board of Directors on the date of grant. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, 105,000 shares were available for grant.
In June 1991, the Company adopted the Key Employee Stock Option Plan (the "KESO Plan"). Options for the purchase of up to 721,875 shares may be granted by the Board of Directors to key employees of the Company at an exercise price determined by the type of option granted. Options may be granted as incentive or non-qualified stock options with a term of not more than ten years from the date of grant. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, 279,938 and 229,938 shares, respectively, were available for grant.

A summary of the changes in outstanding Common Stock options for all outstanding plans is as follows:

Balance, December 31, 1996 668,825 $1.13 - 5.25 2.6 years $2.49
At December 31, 1996 under the above plans, 351,909 shares were exercisable.
In 1985, the Board of Directors authorized, and the stockholders approved, the adoption of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"). An aggregate of 344,531 shares of the Company's Common Stock could be issued under the Purchase Plan. As of December 31, 1995, 207,681 shares were issued under the Purchase Plan which was terminated in March 1995.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, for stock options issued to employees in accounting for its stock option plans. The exercise price for all stock options issued during 1996 and 1995 was equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the Company's stock-based compensation plans.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The weighted average fair value of stock options granted to employees used in determining pro forma amounts is estimated at $1.95 and $.94 during 1996 and 1995, respectively.
COVER-ALL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method prescribed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the pro forma amounts with the following weighted average assumptions:
December 31, December 31, 1996 1995 ---------- ---------- Risk-free interest rate . . 6.29% 6.74% Expected life . . . . . . . 3.3 years 3.6 years Expected volatility . . . . 89% 70% Expected dividends . . . . None None

Pro forma loss per share . $( .41) $(1.36)
NOTE 8--COMMON STOCK
The Company made a series of loans in 1994, 1993 and 1992 aggregating $635,757 at December 31, 1994, to its former President in exchange for a demand note receivable with interest at 1% over the bank's prime rate. Effective January 6, 1995, the Board of Directors approved the receipt of 268,111 shares of the Company's Common Stock, which were added to treasury shares, in full satisfaction for the repayment of these loans by the former President. The cost of $2.37 per common share for this treasury stock was $.37 per share less than the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock on January 6, 1995. This receivable at December 31, 1994 was reflected in treasury stock as a reduction of stockholders' equity.
On November 17, 1989, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock. Under certain conditions, each Right shall initially entitle the registered holder thereof to purchase one-fifth of one share of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00, subject to adjustment. The Rights will be exercisable only if (i) a person or group has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a person that acquires the stock directly from the Company in a transaction that the Company's independent Directors determine to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders) or (ii) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer for 15% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each Right will entitle its holder to receive, upon exercise, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property, or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the purchase price of the Right under certain circumstances, including the acquisition of 20% of the outstanding Common Stock.

Plan) divided by 50% of the market price of the Company's Common Stock on the date which is ten days after a public announcement by the Company that a person or group has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In the event that the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, the rights holders may purchase the acquiror's shares at the similar discount.
The Company may redeem the Rights at $.01 each until ten days following the date on which a person or group of affiliated persons has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, the beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Rights will expire on December 4, 1999 unless earlier redeemed by the Company.
NOTE 9--SALE OF STOCK AND WARRANTS
On March 31, 1996, the Company entered into a series of transactions with Software Investments Limited ("SIL") and Care Corporation Limited ("Care") whereby the Company:
(A) sold to SIL for total proceeds of $3,022,391: (i) 1,412,758 shares of the Company's Common Stock for $2.00 per share and (ii) five- year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 196,875 shares of the Company's Common Stock exercisable at $2.00 per share for $1.00 per warrant ($196,875).
(B) assigned to SIL the rights it retained in the Restructuring (see Note 2) to repurchase within six months 1,628,100 shares of the Company's Common Stock for the greater of $3.00 per share or 50 percent of the then market price of the Company's Common Stock and its rights to purchase from the warrant holders for $1.00 per share five-year warrants to acquire 776,562 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $2.00 per share. As a result of the issuance of the above mentioned shares, the antidilution provisions of the Warrants required an adjustment from 776,562 shares at $2.00 per share to 862,847 shares at $1.80 per share. As a result of the issuance of the 12 1/2% Convertible Debentures discussed in Note 12, the Warrants may require a further adjustment to the number of shares purchasable and the exercise price.
On May 1, 1996, SIL acquired 1,628,100 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $3.00 per share, and at $1.00 per Warrant, 862,847 Warrants to acquire 862,847 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $1.80 per share. SIL exercised these Warrants on May 6, 1996, resulting in the Company receiving $1,553,124 in additional equity.
In addition, on March 31, 1996, the Company was granted by Care the exclusive license for the Care software systems for use in the workers' compensation and group health claims administration markets in Canada, Mexico and Central and South America. In exchange for this license, the Company issued to Care 2,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The agreement was revised on March 14, 1997 and the Company engaged Care as its exclusive sales agent for a monthly fee of $10,000 against commissions of 20%. Depending upon the level of revenue reached, the Company will have the right to repurchase portions of the shares issued to Care at $.01 per share based upon the level of revenues actually achieved. Under certain circumstances, based upon aggregate net sales in excess of $10 million from a maximum of two separate sales during such three-year period, the Company may be required to grant Care five-year warrants to buy an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $2.00 per share.

NOTE 12--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 14, 1997, the Company obtained $750,000 in bridge financing through the sale of 12 1/2% Convertible Notes to three major stockholders. The principal and accrued interest on the bridge financing was repaid in full on March 31, 1997 out of the proceeds from the financing discussed below.
On March 31, 1997, the Company sold $3,000,000 of 12 1/2% Convertible Debentures due March 2002 (the "Debentures") to an institutional investor. The Debentures were sold at face value, pay interest quarterly and are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock of the Company at $1.25 per share, subject to adjustment. The Debentures contain certain covenants which restrict the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, pay dividends or other defined restricted payments and make investments and acquisitions. The Company cannot redeem the Debentures for two years and thereafter may only call the Debentures if the closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the twenty business days preceding the redemption date exceeds $1.50. The net proceeds from the permanent financing were used to repay the bridge financing and the remainder will be used for working capital purposes.
