Operational Highlights:
- First quarter 2010 revenue was $3.8 million compared to $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2009, an increase of 22.9%.
- Continuing revenue (maintenance and ASP revenue from contracts) for the first quarter of 2010 was $2.0 million, up 7.3% sequentially compared to $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 and up 12.6% compared to the $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2009.

- Operating Income for the first quarter 2010 was $792,000, inclusive of the $285,000 in acquisition expense, up 87.5% compared to $422,000 in the first quarter last year, as operating income grew nearly four times as fast as total revenue, demonstrating the leverage in the Company’s business model.
- The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with stockholders’ equity at a record $12.4 million as of March 31, 2010. The Company completed the first quarter of 2010 with $6.7 million in cash, $7.7 million in working capital and no debt.
- On April 12, 2010, Cover-All acquired Moore Stephens Business Solutions, LLC (MSBS) for $2.45 million in a combination of cash, eighteen month notes and equity with no assumed indebtedness. As previously disclosed, on a trailing 12 months basis, MSBS generated over $6 million in revenue and the acquisition is expected to be accretive to Cover-All’s 2010 earnings.
John Roblin, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “The first quarter represented a strong start to 2010, and in our core business our operating income increased significantly faster than our revenues reflecting the leverage of our business model and control over expenses.
“In early April, we expanded into the Business Intelligence marketplace with the acquisition of MSBS, a well regarded company in the property and casualty business intelligence space, adding approximately $6 million in annualized revenue,” Mr. Roblin continued. “This acquisition is not only expected to add revenue and profits, but, in addition, the new combined Cover-All now has more sales and marketing resources, 20 new customers and new capabilities to offer our existing customer base. We can also further leverage our existing infrastructure, business/technology expertise and our innovative offshore development model. Lastly, we anticipate exciting new offerings as we combine our My Insurance Center platform with our business intelligence capabilities and build upon this combination to deliver powerful new capabilities to our customers. We also continue to expand our My Insurance Center offering with exciting new capabilities that will further accelerate our growth.”

“We continue to benefit from our investment during 2009 in our sales and marketing infrastructure, and our growing base of satisfied customers is delivering consistent, recurring revenue,” concluded Mr. Roblin, “Our variable business model has enabled us to accelerate profitability as we layer on additional revenue, and this has given us the resources to make the important acquisition which will contribute to an even stronger 2010. We are hard at work to integrate the MSBS acquisition, and that effort is progressing as planned. We will continue to sell our expanded services to our installed base, reach new potential customers with our increasingly comprehensive business solutions and focus on growing our recurring revenue base. By the end of this year, we expect to launch several major enhancements to our My Insurance Center™ platform, and these new solutions will help us to accelerate our growth.”
