(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Continucare Corporation (“Continucare” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 2004. Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the terms the “Company” or “Continucare” mean Continucare Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The balance sheet at June 30, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 — GENERAL

Continucare, which was incorporated on February 1, 1996 as a Florida corporation, is a provider of outpatient healthcare in Florida.

In Fiscal 2003, the Company continued to review its operations and institute measures intended to operate profitably and reduce a significant working capital deficiency that resulted from losses in prior years. In an effort to streamline the cost structure and stem anticipated operating losses, effective January 1, 2003, the Company terminated the Medicare and Medicaid lines of business for all of the physician contracts associated with one of its independent practice associations (the “Terminated IPA”). The Terminated IPA, which consisted of 29 physicians at the time of the termination and is shown as discontinued operations, contributed $2.0 million and $4.5 million in revenue and generated an operating loss of $98,000 and $0.2 million during the three- month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2002, respectively. Severance costs and other exit costs resulting from the termination of the IPA totaled less than $10,000 and were paid prior to June 30, 2003. The Terminated IPA did not contribute any revenue or generate any operating income during the three-month period ended December 31, 2003. The Terminated IPA also did not contribute any revenue but did generate operating income of $73,000 during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003. The operating income was primarily the result of a settlement with the HMO which eliminated all amounts due to and amounts due from the HMO incurred prior to the termination of the contracts on January 1, 2003. At December 31, 2003, the remaining liabilities related to the discontinued operations of the Terminated IPA of $37,000 consisted primarily of payables which arose during the ordinary course of business. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve any financial benefits as a result of terminating these IPA contracts.

In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2003 and continuing into the first quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company began to reorganize its home health operations in an effort to reduce their overhead costs and explore new payor sources to increase patient referrals. While improvements did occur during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003, the improvements were less than anticipated. On December 16, 2003, the Company announced that it would dispose of its home health agencies. The disposition occurred in transactions with three entities that acquired substantially all

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003
(UNAUDITED)

of the existing home health operations in separate transactions that concluded on or prior to February 7, 2004. As a result of this disposition, the home health operations are shown as discontinued operations. (See Note 4.)

In Fiscal 2003, the claims loss ratio (calculated as medical claims expense as a percentage of medical services revenue) for the Company’s managed care operations stabilized and has improved in the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2004. The claims loss ratio for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was 75.2% and 76.7%, respectively. The claims loss ratio for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 was 76.5%. The Company continues to focus on strengthening its managed care operations by enhancing its physician network, streamlining its operations and implementing measures to contain the rising costs of providing health services to its members. Such measures include, among other things, emphasizing preventive care, encouraging frequent health check–ups, monitoring compliance with drug therapies, entering into contracts with health care providers such as medical specialists and recommending that its members utilize hospitals and outpatient facilities that have favorable rate structures. However, there can be no assurances that in the future the Company will not experience a negative change in its claims loss ratio. Negative changes in the claims loss ratio, which result from increases in the utilization of health care services as well as increases in medical costs without counterbalancing increases in premium revenues from the Company’s contracts with Health Maintenance Organizations (“HMOs”), would reduce the profitability and cash flows of our managed care operations.

Although the financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to fund its obligations and satisfy its debt obligations as they become due in Fiscal 2004. At December 31, 2003, the working capital deficit was $3.9 million, total indebtedness accounted for 68.3% of the Company’s total capitalization and the Company had principal and interest of $2.2 million outstanding under its credit facility. The credit facility matures on March 31, 2004, is personally guaranteed by Dr. Phillip Frost, a principal shareholder and member of the Company’s board of directors, and contains, among other things, a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.05 to 1.00 beginning December 31, 2003 and measured quarterly thereafter (See Note 6). While the Company has complied with this financial covenant at December 31, 2003, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the financial covenant as required by the credit facility. Based on the Company’s current cash flow projections, it is unlikely that the Company will have sufficient funds available to fully repay the credit facility on or before March 31, 2004. Uncertainty exists as to whether the Company will be able to extend or replace the credit facility without either extending the personal guarantee of Dr. Frost or finding replacement guarantees, and there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such guarantees. Additionally, if the Company is not in compliance with the financial covenant at March 31, 2004, it could adversely impact our ability to extend or replace the credit facility or obtain any personal guarantees that might be required. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our attempts to either repay, extend or replace the credit facility and, if so, if this will occur on terms acceptable to the Company.

On October 31, 2004, $1.1 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s Convertible Subordinated Notes Payable (the “Notes”) is due. Based on the Company’s current cash flow projections, it appears unlikely that the Company will have sufficient funds available to make this principal payment. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its attempts to either pay this principal payment, negotiate a revised maturity schedule, or obtain new financing to replace these Notes and, if so, if this will occur on terms acceptable to the Company.

The Company plans to fund its capital commitments, operating cash requirements and satisfy its obligations from a combination of cash on hand and operating cash flow improvements realized from decreased utilization, HMO premium increases and elimination of the losses associated with the home health operations. With the limited availability of additional financing through the credit facility, if the Company is unable to maintain the current claims loss ratio for the managed care operations, the Company could experience a severe strain on its cash flow. There can be no assurances that the measures discussed above will provide sufficient cash flow to fund the Company’s cash requirements for Fiscal 2004.

NOTE 3 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation–Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”). SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for their employee stock-based awards using the fair value method. However, the disclosure provisions are required for all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they utilize the fair value method of accounting described in SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method described in Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company granted 1,200,000 options with an exercise price of $0.66 per share. (See Note 12.) If stock-based compensation had been recorded under the fair value method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 as reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations would have decreased (increased) by approximately $63,200. The Company’s net income (loss) for the other periods presented would not have been materially different from the net income (loss) as reported had its stock-based compensation plans had been recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 148.

NOTE 4 – DISPOSAL OF HOME HEALTH OPERATIONS

On December 16, 2003, the Company announced that it would dispose of its home health agencies. The disposition occurred in transactions with three entities that acquired substantially all of the existing home health operations in separate transactions that concluded on or prior to February 7, 2004. In two of the transactions, the employees and patients of the Company’s Medicare certified home health agencies in Broward and Miami-Dade counties were transferred to the acquirer and no assets or liabilities were transferred. In the third transaction, the Company sold the stock of its private duty home health agency subsidiary for a cash purchase price of $9,000. The Company retained all of the related accounts receivable, as well as all obligations for payables which existed as of the date of the sale. Accordingly, the home health operations are shown as discontinued operations. As a result of the decision to dispose of its home health operations, the Company assessed the recoverability of the long-lived assets associated with the home health operations and recorded a disposal charge of $0.5 million during the second quarter of Fiscal 2004, which consisted of the following:

The home health operations contributed $1.4 million and $1.0 million in revenue and generated an operating loss of $0.4 million (prior to recording the disposal charge) and $0.5 million during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, before any corporate overhead allocation or interest expense. The home health operations contributed $2.6 million and $1.9 million in revenue and generated an operating loss of $0.8 million (prior to recording the disposal charge) and $1.0 million during the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, before any corporate overhead allocation or interest expense. Approximately 10 employees have been or will be terminated as a result of these transactions. In accordance with Statement of

(UNAUDITED)

Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, “Accounting for costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”), the Company estimates that it will record approximately $0.2 million to $0.3 million of additional disposal costs for severance payments and to accrue for lease obligations in the third quarter of Fiscal 2004. The Company also estimates that the cost of operating the private home health subsidiary prior to its February 7, 2004 sale and the cost of winding up all of its home health agencies activities, including billing and collection of outstanding accounts receivables, will result in a further loss in the third quarter of Fiscal 2004 of approximately $150,000 to $250,000, for a total estimated loss from discontinued operations in the range of $0.4 million to $0.5 million.

NOTE 5 – DEFERRED GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

In April 2003, the Company executed a Physician Group Participation Agreement (the “PGP Agreement”) with one of its HMO partners. Pursuant to the PGP Agreement, the Company agreed to assume certain management responsibilities on a non-risk basis for the HMO’s Medicare, Commercial and Medicaid members assigned to selected primary care physicians in Miami-Dade and Broward counties of Florida. Revenue from this contract consists of a monthly management fee designed to cover the costs of providing these services. Simultaneously with the execution of the PGP Agreement, the Company restructured the terms of a $3.9 million contract modification note with the HMO. Pursuant to the restructuring, the contract modification note was cancelled. The PGP Agreement is for a period of two years and contains a provision for liquidated damages in the amount of $4.0 million (the “Liquidated Damages”), which can be asserted by the HMO in the event that (i) continued participation by the Company under this PGP Agreement may affect adversely the health, safety or welfare of a member or bring the HMO or its provider networks into disrepute; (ii) the Company engages in or acquiesces to any act of bankruptcy, receivership or reorganization; (iii) the Company is excluded from participation in any federal healthcare program; (iv) the HMO determines that the Company has not used its best efforts to perform under the PGP Agreement; or (v) the Company materially breaches the PGP Agreement. Because there are contingent circumstances under which future payments to the HMO for the Liquidated Damages could exceed the amount of debt forgiven, the $3.9 million gain to be recognized from the extinguishment of debt was deferred and will be recognized when the Liquidated Damages are less than the debt forgiven. If the Company remains in compliance with the terms of the PGP Agreement, the HMO, at its option, may reduce the Liquidated Damages by one-fourth on each of the following dates: October 10, 2003, April 10, 2004; October 9, 2004 and April 10, 2005. If the Company obtains these reductions, the deferred gain will be recognized in a manner consistent with the reduction in the Liquidated Damages. On November 7, 2003, the Company was notified that the Liquidated Damages had been reduced to $3.5 million. Accordingly, the Company recognized $0.4 million of the deferred gain on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES PAYABLE AND RELATED PARTY NOTES PAYABLE

On October 30, 1997, the Company issued $46.0 million of 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes originally due on October 31, 2002 (the “Original Notes”). The Company completed a series of repurchases and troubled debt restructurings in Fiscal 2000 and 2001, including a restructuring effective June 30, 2001 whereby the Company issued a new convertible note (the “New Note’) with a principal balance of $912,195 to Frost Nevada Limited Partnership (“Frost Nevada”), an entity that is a principal shareholder of the Company and is controlled by Dr. Phillip Frost who is a director of the Company. The New Note was issued on modified terms negotiated between the Company and Frost Nevada in exchange for Notes that were purchased by Frost Nevada from certain of the holders of the Original Notes in a private transaction between the parties. In July 2001, Frost Nevada transferred approximately 13% of the New Note in a private transaction to a group of six investors (the “Investor Group”). The notes issued to Frost Nevada and the Investor Group, or their successors, are collectively referred to as the “Related Party Notes.” Also effective June 30, 2001, new notes (collectively, the “Notes”) were issued to the remaining holders of the Original Notes, on modified terms negotiated between the Company and such holders, in exchange for their Original Notes, as amended.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003
(UNAUDITED)

Effective March 31, 2003, the Company further modified the terms of the Notes (the “Fiscal 2003 Note Modification”) to, among other things, extend the principal payment of $1.1 million, which was originally due on October 31, 2003, to October 31, 2006. As a result, the first principal payment on the Notes will be due on October 31, 2004. In consideration for the Fiscal 2003 Note Modification, the Company issued an aggregate of 344,400 shares of restricted stock to the noteholders and increased the annual interest rate on the deferred principal payment of $1.1 million from 7% to 9%. The shares issued, which were valued at $120,540 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2003, have been recorded as a deferred financing cost and will be amortized over the remaining term of the Notes. The additional interest expense resulting from the Fiscal 2003 Note Modification on the deferred principal payment is recorded as the interest becomes due and payable.

The outstanding principal balance of the Notes at December 31, 2003 was approximately $3.9 million. The balance of the outstanding Notes on the balance sheet of $4.2 million includes interest accrued through December 31, 2003 of $32,000 and interest of approximately $0.3 million which is payable in quarterly payments through October 31, 2005.

Also, effective March 31, 2003, Dr. Frost extended his personal guarantee on the Company’s credit facility. (See Note 6.) As part of the consideration given to Dr. Frost for his personal guarantee, the interest rate on the Related Party Note to Frost Nevada, with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $0.8 million at December 31, 2003, was increased from 7% to 9%. This additional interest expense is recorded as the interest becomes due and payable.

The outstanding principal balance of the Related Party Notes at December 31, 2003 was $0.9 million. The balance of the outstanding Related Party Notes on the balance sheet at December 31, 2003 of $1.0 million includes interest of $0.1 million which is payable in quarterly payments through the current maturity date of October 31, 2005.

NOTE 7 – CREDIT FACILITY

The Company has entered into a credit facility agreement (“Credit Facility”), which provides a revolving loan of $3.0 million. On March 31, 2003, the Credit Facility matured. In order to secure an extension until March 31, 2004, Dr. Frost, a principal shareholder and a member of the Company’s board of directors, was required to extend his personal guarantee of the Credit Facility through March 31, 2004. In addition to Dr. Frost’s guarantee, a financial covenant was added to the Credit Facility which requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.05 to 1.00 beginning on December 31, 2003 and measured quarterly thereafter. The Company is in compliance with this financial covenant as of December 31, 2003. Interest under the Credit Facility is payable monthly at 2.9% plus the 30-day Dealer Commercial Paper Rate which was 0.98% on December 31, 2003. In addition to Dr. Frost’s personal guarantee, all assets of the Company serve as collateral for the Credit Facility. At December 31, 2003, the outstanding principal and interest balance of the Credit Facility was $2.2 million.

In consideration of Dr. Frost’s personal guarantee, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of restricted stock to an entity related to Dr. Frost and increased the annual interest rate on a currently outstanding note payable to an entity related to Dr. Frost from 7% to 9% (See Note 6). The shares of restricted common stock issued, which were valued at $525,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2003 when the guarantee was granted, have been recorded as a deferred financing cost which will be amortized over the term of the guarantee which expires March 31, 2004.

NOTE 9 – DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

As compensation for their service on the Board of Directors, Board members who served during calendar years 2001 and 2002 were entitled to receive for each year of service, at their election, either 100,000 shares of restricted common stock or fully vested options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock. Also, two newly elected Board members were entitled to receive, at their election, either an additional 100,000 shares of restricted common stock or fully vested options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock. On September 23, 2002, five of the Board members elected to receive their award in the form of restricted common stock, which represented a combined total of 800,000 shares of restricted common stock. The value of the restricted stock award of $112,000 (based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 23, 2002) has been recorded as director compensation in the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. Also on September 23, 2002, two of the Board members elected to receive their award in the form of stock options, which represented a combined total of 400,000 stock options. The fully vested stock options have an exercise price of $.36 per share and are valid for a ten-year period.

During October 2002, the Board appointed Dr. Jack Nudel as a new member of the Board. At the time of his appointment, the Board granted to Dr. Nudel to receive, at his election, either 100,000 shares of restricted common stock or fully vested options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock. On October 30, 2002, Dr. Nudel elected to receive this award in the form of restricted stock. The value of the 100,000 shares of restricted stock awarded of $11,000 (based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on October 30, 2002) was recorded as director compensation in the second quarter of Fiscal 2003.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

Although the Company had income from operations and net income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003, a provision for income taxes has not been recorded as the Company believes it will be able to utilize certain of its net operating loss carryforwards to offset any income tax liability.

The Company is a party to the case of ELBA GONZALEZ AND EFRAIN PELLOT AS PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ESTATE OF NICHOLAS PELLOT, DECEASED, AND ELBA GONZALEZ AND EFRAIN PELLOT, INDIVIDUALLY AND JOINTLY AS SURVIVING PARENTS v. CONTINUCARE CORPORATION; MICHAEL J. CAVANAUGH, M.D.; GUYLENE KERNISANT, A.R.N.P.; DIAGNOSTIC TESTING GROUP, INC. AND JOHN H. SOKOLOWICZ, M.D. This case was filed on March 12, 2002 in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Dade County, Florida and served on the companies and individuals in March 2002. The complaint alleges vicarious liability for medical malpractice and seeks damages in excess of $15,000. Trial has been set for the week of March 8, 2004. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.

The Company was a party to the case of VICTORIA FINN AND RONALD FINN, HER HUSBAND, v. ARACELI QUEVEDO, M.D., CONTINUCARE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT, INC., F/K/A CONTINUCARE HEALTH CENTERS, INC., D/B/A CONTINUCARE MEDICAL GROUP AT MARGATE AND FIRST MEDICAL CORPORATION OF DELAWARE, F/K/A FIRST MEDICAL, INC., OF DELAWARE, D/B/A FIRST MEDICAL CORPORATION, A FOREIGN CORPORATION. This case was filed on August 29, 2003, in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, and served on the companies in October 2003. The Company settled this case in December 2003 and the case has been dismissed.

The Company is also involved in other legal proceedings incidental to its business that arise from time to time out of the ordinary course of business including, but not limited to, claims related to the alleged malpractice of employed and contracted medical professionals, workers’ compensation claims and other employee-related matters, and minor disputes with equipment lessors and other vendors.

On February 13, 1998, the Company acquired the stock of Rehab Management Systems, Inc., Integracare, Inc. and J.R. Rehab Associates, Inc. (collectively referred to as “RMS”) from Integrated Health Services, Inc (“IHS”). RMS operated numerous rehabilitation clinics in the States of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina as a Medicare and Medicaid provider of outpatient services. On April 8, 1999, the Company sold substantially all the assets of RMS and the assumption of certain liabilities to Kessler Rehabilitation of Florida, Inc (“Kessler”). On August 13, 1999, RMS was formally dissolved as a corporation with the State of Florida. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, the Company became aware that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) were pursuing IHS, Kessler and RMS for collection of principal and interest for certain alleged Medicare overpayments made to providers purchased from IHS or linked to the purchased entities through the use of a common provider number (the “Providers”) for services rendered during calendar years 1996, 1997 and 1998 (collectively the “Alleged Overpayments”.) The Company was aware of its obligation to CMS for any overpayments for services rendered by the Providers during calendar years 1997 and 1998. At the time the cost reports were completed and submitted to CMS for services rendered by the Providers during calendar years 1997 and 1998, the Company recorded an estimate for the overpayments indicated on those cost reports as part of its continuing operations. When the Company purchased RMS, the purchase agreement included indemnification from IHS for any overpayments prior to calendar year 1997. Subsequent to the purchase of RMS, IHS sought protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and, as such, is protected from CMS’ and RMS’ efforts to collect on the Alleged Overpayments that relate to calendar year 1996.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2002, it became clear that the Company was being pursued by CMS as the primary obligor for all of the Alleged Overpayments, including calendar year 1996. While the Company disputed the validity of these claims, in an effort to expedite the resolution of these matters and halt CMS’ aggressive collection procedures which included the threat of withholding payments to the Company’s home health agencies, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding for the 1996 and 1997 cost report years (the “1996 Repayment Memorandum” and the “1997 Repayment Memorandum”.) Under both the 1996 Repayment Memorandum and the 1997 Repayment Memorandum, the Company agreed to make monthly payments of $10,000 for 24 months for each of the 1996 and 1997 cost report years with the balance due at the end of the respective terms. Although the Company began making payments under these Memorandums, the Company retained the right to dispute the Alleged

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003
(UNAUDITED)

Overpayments. During September 2002, the Company requested a reopening of the 1996 and 1997 cost reports and supplied various documentation to demonstrate that the Alleged Overpayments were incorrect.

In September 2003, the Company was notified by the Medicare Fiscal Intermediary that they had completed the reopening of the 1997 cost report. As a result of this cost report settlement, the original liability recorded of approximately $0.4 million was reduced to approximately $40,000 and an adjustment of approximately $0.4 million was recorded as a Medicare cost report settlement in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2003. As of December 31, 2003, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes a receivable of $0.2 million due from Medicare for the 1997 RMS cost report.

In October 2003, the Company was notified by the Medicare Fiscal Intermediary that they had completed the reopening of the 1996 cost report. As a result of this cost report settlement, the original liability recorded of $2.4 million was reduced to approximately $0.2 million and the Company recorded $2.2 million as a Medicare Settlement Related to Terminated Operations during the three-month period ended September 30, 2003. As of December 31, 2003, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects a liability due to Medicare of approximately $33,000 for the 1996 RMS cost report.

The Company has recorded an accrual for medical malpractice claims, which includes amounts for insurance deductibles and legal fees, based on management’s estimate of the ultimate outcome of such claims. No liabilities other than those discussed above have been recorded for the above matters as it is not possible to estimate the liability, if any, that will result from the resolution of these matters.

NOTE 12 – CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT

In October 2003, Spencer Angel resigned as the Company’s President and CEO. In accordance with the terms of Mr. Angel’s severance agreement, he will receive $250,000, payable through September 2004 in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, and a lump-sum cash severance payment of $17,500. The Company also repurchased 800,000 stock options held by Mr. Angel for $68,000. The Company recorded a liability in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 of $250,000 for amounts due under the severance agreement. The lump-sum severance payment, repurchase of the stock options and the accrual for amounts due under the severance agreement were included in general and administrative expenses during the second quarter of Fiscal 2004.

In October 2003, the Company appointed Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr., currently the chairman of the Board of Directors, as its Chief Executive Officer and President. At the time of his appointment, Mr. Pfenniger was awarded options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock. The options vest in increments of 400,000 on each of the following dates: September 30, 2004; September 30, 2005; and September 30, 2006. The options have an exercise price of $.66 per share (based on the price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date) and are valid for a ten-year term.

NOTE 13 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) finalized EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. This pronouncement addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, this issue addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. This pronouncement is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Adoption of the provisions of EITF 00-21 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

General

We are a provider of outpatient healthcare services in Florida. Our managed care operations, through various capitated or percentage of premium arrangements, are responsible for providing primary care medical services (the “Primary Care Services”) or overseeing the provision of these Primary Care Services by affiliated physicians to approximately 16,100 patients on a full-risk basis and approximately 13,300 patients on a limited or non-risk basis at December 31, 2003. Full-risk managed care agreements represent the majority of our managed care revenues and require that in exchange for a percentage of premium we assume responsibility to provide and pay for all of our patients’ medical needs. Prior to their disposition in January and February of 2004, which is discussed below, our home health operations provided home health care services to recovering, disabled, chronically ill and terminally ill patients in their homes.

Effective January 1, 2003, we terminated the Medicare and Medicaid lines of business for all of the physician contracts associated with one of our independent practice associations (the “Terminated IPA”). The Terminated IPA, which consisted of 29 physicians at the time of the termination and is shown as discontinued operations, contributed $4.5 million in revenue and generated an operating loss of $0.2 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2002. Severance costs and other exit costs resulting from the termination of the IPA totaled less than $10,000 and were paid prior to June 30, 2003. The Terminated IPA did not contribute any revenue but generated operating income of approximately $73,000 during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003. The operating income was primarily the result of a settlement with the HMO which eliminated all amounts due to and amounts due from the HMO incurred prior to the termination of the contracts on January 1, 2003. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve any financial benefits as a result of terminating these IPA contracts.

On December 16, 2003, we announced the disposal of our home health operations. The disposition occurred in transactions with three entities that acquired substantially all of the existing home health operations in separate transactions that concluded on or prior to February 7, 2004. (See Note 4 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.) As a result, the home health operations are shown as discontinued operations. The home health operations contributed $2.6 million and $1.9 million in revenue and generated an operating loss of $1.3 million, which includes a charge in connection with the disposition in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 of $0.5 million, and $1.0 million during the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, before any corporate overhead allocation or interest expense. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, “Accounting for costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”), we estimate that we will record approximately $0.2 million to $0.3 million of additional disposal costs for severance payments and to accrue for lease obligations in the third quarter of Fiscal 2004. We also estimate that the cost of operating the

private home health subsidiary prior to its February 7, 2004 sale and the cost of winding up all of our home health agencies activities, including billing and collection of outstanding accounts receivables, will result in a further loss in the third quarter of Fiscal 2004 of approximately $150,000 to $250,000, for a total estimated loss from discontinued operations in the range of $0.4 million to $0.5 million.

Medicare Considerations

A substantial portion of our net medical services revenue from continuing operations is based upon Medicare reimbursable rates. Any changes that would limit or reduce Medicare reimbursement levels could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, if significant changes were made to the Medicare program or the Congress of the United States were to enact unfavorable legislation, such as reducing Medicare reimbursable rates, these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, prospects, financial results, financial condition or cash flows.

Accounting Policies

General–The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to our HMO agreements, accounts receivable, intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Please refer to the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003, particularly Note 2, for a more detailed description of such policies.

Revenue recognition–Revenue is recorded in the period services are rendered as determined by the respective contract.

Under our full risk contracts with HMOs, we receive a percentage of premium (“POP”) for each patient that chooses one of our physicians as their primary care physician and we assume responsibility for the cost of all medical services. To the extent that patients require more frequent or expensive care, our revenue under a contract may be insufficient to cover the costs of care provided. When it is probable that expected future health care costs and maintenance costs under a contract or group of existing contracts will exceed anticipated POP revenue on those contracts, we recognize losses on our prepaid healthcare services with HMOs. No contracts are considered loss contracts at December 31, 2003 because we have the right to terminate unprofitable physicians and close unprofitable centers under our managed care contracts.

Under our limited risk and non-risk contracts with HMOs, we receive a management fee based on the number of patients for which we are providing services on a monthly basis. The management fee is recorded as revenue in the period in which services are provided.

Recording the cost of health care services–The cost of health care services provided or contracted for is accrued in the period in which the services are provided. Management estimates medical claims expense and the related liability for medical claims incurred but not reported each month based on historical claims incurred per member per month. We adjust our estimate if we have unusually high or low inpatient utilization. We compare the estimated expense recorded in prior months to actual claims expense as claims are paid by the HMO and reported to us and

adjust our estimates accordingly. Our estimate also considers annual changes in the benefits covered by the HMO plans. If benefit changes are expected to significantly increase or reduce our claims exposure, we apply a trend factor to the historical claims experience. This monthly calculation produces what we believe is the best estimate of medical claims expense and the related liability for medical claims incurred but not reported.

To further corroborate our estimate of medical claims, an independent actuarial calculation is performed on a quarterly basis. This independent actuarial calculation indicates that medical claims incurred but not reported as of December 31, 2003 are between $11.2 million and $12.4 million. As of December 31, 2003, we had recorded a liability of $11.9 million for medical claims incurred but not reported based on our monthly calculation process. As the amount recorded was within the actuarial range, no further analysis was necessary.

Consideration of impairment of costs in excess of net tangible assets–Our balance sheet includes intangible assets, including goodwill and separately identifiable intangible assets. Effective July 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if certain impairment indicators arise. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their respective useful lives to their estimated residual values and also reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain impairment indicators arise. Indicators of an impairment include, among other things, significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate, loss of a key HMO contract, an adverse action by a regulator, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel or allocation of goodwill to a portion of business that is to be sold.

As we operate in a single segment of business, that of managing the provision of outpatient health care and health care related services in the State of Florida, management has determined that we have a single reporting unit and perform our impairment test for goodwill on an enterprise level. In performing the impairment test, we compare our fair value, as determined by the current market value of our common stock, to the current carrying value of the total net assets, including goodwill and intangible assets. We perform our annual impairment test on May 1st of each year. Should we determine that an indicator of impairment has occurred, such as those noted above, we would be required to perform an additional impairment test which could result in the determination that a portion of our intangible assets are impaired and must be written-off. Depending on the market value of our common stock at the time that an impairment test is required, there is a risk that a portion of our intangible assets would be considered impaired and must be written-off during that period.

In connection with the disposition of our home health operations, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2004, we wrote off $321,000 of goodwill that had originated from the purchase of one of our home health subsidiaries.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

THE FINANCIAL RESULTS DISCUSSED BELOW RELATE TO THE OPERATION OF CONTINUCARE FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE- MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002.

Revenue from Continuing Operations

Medical services revenues increased 0.8% to $24.2 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2003 from $24.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002. The increase is primarily due to a 2% increase in Medicare premiums offset by a 1% decrease in Medicare membership.

Revenue from continuing operations generated by our managed care entities under contracts with Humana Medical Plans, Inc. (“Humana”) was 73.7% and 78.8% of medical services revenue for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Revenue from continuing operations generated by our managed care entities under contracts with Vista Healthplan of South Florida, Inc. and its related affiliated companies (“Vista”) was 26.3% and 21.2% of medical services revenue for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Management fee income of $0.2 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2003 relates to revenue we receive under our limited risk and non-risk contracts with HMOs. The management fee income primarily relates to the Physician Group Participation Agreement that we executed in April 2003. (See Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.) No such agreements existed during the three-month period ended December 31, 2002.

Expenses from Continuing Operations

Medical services expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2003 were $21.0 million or 86.3% of total revenues compared to $21.1 million or 87.9% of total revenues for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002. Medical services expense includes medical claims expense as well as other direct costs associated with providing medical services.

Medical claims represent the costs of medical services provided to our members in our managed care operations by providers other than us but for which we are financially responsible for under the terms of our full risk contracts with HMOs. Claims expense was $18.1 million and $18.4 million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, or 75.1% and 76.7% of medical services revenues from continuing operations. The claims loss ratio for continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 was 76.5%. Our claim loss ratio varies due to fluctuations in utilization, medical costs and premium revenues.

Other direct costs include the salaries and benefits of health professionals providing primary care services, capitation payments to our contracted primary care IPA physicians, and other costs necessary to provide medical care to our patients. Other direct costs were $2.9 million and $2.7 million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, or 11.9% and 11.2% of total revenues.

Professional fees were $0.2 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2003 as compared to approximately $60,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002. In December 2002, we recorded a recovery of professional fees of $135,000 for litigation covered under our directors and officers insurance policy. No similar recovery was recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004.

General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2003 were $1.6 million or 6.5% of total revenues compared to $1.3 million or 5.3% of total revenues for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002. The increase is primarily due to separation costs of $0.3 million to our former president which were recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004.

The $0.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt recognized during the three-month period ended December 31, 2003 relates to the $3.9 million contract modification note with one of our HMO partners that was cancelled in April 2003. Simultaneously with the note cancellation, we executed a Physician Group Participation Agreement (the “PGP Agreement”) with the HMO to assume management responsibilities on a non-risk basis for certain of the HMO’s members. The PGP Agreement is for a period of two years and contains a provision for liquidated damages in the amount of $4.0 million (the “Liquidated Damages”), which can be asserted by the HMO under certain circumstances. Because there are contingent circumstances under which future payments to the HMO for the Liquidated Damages could exceed the amount of debt forgiven, the $3.9 million gain to be recognized from the extinguishment of debt was deferred and will be recognized when the Liquidated Damages are less than the debt forgiven. On November 7, 2003, the HMO notified us that the Liquidated Damages had been reduced to $3.9 million. Accordingly, we recognized $0.4 million of the deferred gain on extinguishment of debt during the three-month period ended December 31, 2003. No similar transaction occurred during the three-month period ended December 31, 2002.

Income from Operations

Income from operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2003 was $0.7 million or 3.0% of total revenues, compared to $0.5 million or 1.9% of total revenues for the three-month period ended December 30, 2002.

Loss from Discontinued Operations-Terminated IPA

Effective January 1, 2003, we terminated the Medicare and Medicaid lines of business for all of the physician contracts associated with one of our independent practice associations (the “Terminated IPA.”) The Terminated IPA, which consisted of 29 physicians at the time of the termination and is considered discontinued operations, contributed $2.0 million in medical services revenue and generated an operating loss of $98,000 during the three-month period ended December 31, 2002. The Terminated IPA did not contribute any revenue or operating income during the three-month period ended December 31, 2003. While this termination was intended to streamline our cost structure and stem anticipated operating losses, we may not achieve any financial benefits as a result of terminating these IPA contracts.

Loss from Discontinued Operations-Home Health Operations

Net Loss

The net loss was $0.4 million for both of the three-month periods ended December 30 2003 and 2002.

THE FINANCIAL RESULTS DISCUSSED BELOW RELATE TO THE OPERATION OF CONTINUCARE FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AS COMPARED TO THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002.

Revenue from Continuing Operations

Medical services revenues increased 3.5% to $49.1 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 from $47.5 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002. This increase is primarily due to an increase in Medicare member months and premium increases.

Revenue from continuing operations generated by our managed care entities under contracts with Humana Medical Plans, Inc. (“Humana”) was 73.5% and 78.9% of medical services revenue for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Revenue from continuing operations generated by our managed care entities under contracts with Vista Healthplan of South Florida, Inc. and its related affiliated companies (“Vista”) was 26.5% and 21.1% of medical services revenue for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Management fee income of $0.3 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2003 relates to revenue we receive under our limited risk and non-risk contracts with HMOs. The management fee income primarily relates to the Physician Group Participation Agreement that we executed in April 2003. (See Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.) No such agreements existed during the six-month period ended December 31, 2002.

Expenses from Continuing Operations

Medical services expenses for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 were $42.7 million or 86.4% of total revenues compared to $41.8 million or 88.0% of total revenues for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002. Medical services expense includes medical claims expense as well as other direct costs associated with providing medical services.

Medical claims represent the costs of medical services provided to our members in our managed care operations by providers other than us but for which we are financially responsible for under the terms of our full risk contracts with HMOs. Claims expense was $36.9 million and $36.4 million for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, or 75.2% and 76.7% of medical services revenues from continuing operations. The claims loss ratio for continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 was 76.5%. Our claim loss ratio varies due to fluctuations in utilization, medical costs and premium revenues.

Other direct costs include the salaries and benefits of health professionals providing primary care services, capitation payments to our contracted primary care IPA physicians, and other costs necessary to provide medical care to our patients. Other direct costs were $5.8 million and $5.4 million for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, or 11.6% and 11.3% of total revenues.

Professional fees were $0.4 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $0.3 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002. In December 2002, we recorded a recovery of professional fees of $135,000 for litigation covered under our directors and officers insurance policy. No similar recovery was recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004.

General and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 were $2.9 million or 5.8% of total revenues compared to $2.4 million or 5.0% of total revenues for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002. The increase is primarily due to separation costs of $0.3 million to our former president which was recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004.

The $0.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt recognized during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 relates to the $3.9 million contract modification note with one of our HMO partners that was cancelled in April 2003. Simultaneously with the note cancellation, we executed a Physician Group Participation Agreement with the HMO to assume management responsibilities on a non-risk basis for certain of the HMO’s members. The PGP Agreement is for a period of two years and contains a provision for liquidated damages in the amount of $4.0 million, which can be asserted by the HMO under certain circumstances. Because there are contingent circumstances under which future payments to the HMO for the Liquidated Damages could exceed the amount of debt forgiven, the $3.9 million gain to be recognized from the extinguishment of debt was deferred and will be recognized when the Liquidated Damages are less than the debt forgiven. On November 7, 2003, the HMO notified us that the Liquidated Damages had been reduced to $3.5 million. Accordingly, we recognized $0.4 million of the deferred gain on extinguishment of debt during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003. No similar transaction occurred during the six-month period ended December 31, 2002.

Income from Operations

Income from operations for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 was $1.6 million, or 3.3% of total revenues, compared to $0.8 million or 1.6% of total revenues for the six-month period ended December 30, 2002.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.5 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $0.6 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002. The decrease is primarily due to lower annual deferred financing costs for the credit facility guarantee obtained in March 2003 compared with the guarantee in place the prior year.

Medicare Settlement Related to Terminated Operations

The Medicare Settlement Related to Terminated Operations relates to alleged overpayments by CMS to a former subsidiary. On February 13, 1998, we acquired the stock of Rehab Management Systems, Inc., Integracare, Inc. and J.R. Rehab Associates, Inc. (collectively referred to as “RMS”) from Integrated Health Services, Inc. (“IHS”). RMS operated numerous rehabilitation clinics in the States of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina as a Medicare and Medicaid provider of outpatient services. On April 8, 1999, we sold substantially all the assets of RMS and the assumption of certain liabilities to Kessler Rehabilitation of Florida, Inc. (“Kessler”). On August 13, 1999, RMS was formally dissolved as a corporation with the State of Florida. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, we became aware that CMS was pursuing IHS, Kessler and RMS for collection of principal and interest for certain alleged Medicare overpayments made to providers purchased from IHS or linked to the purchased entities through the use of a common provider number (the “Providers”) for services rendered during calendar years 1996, 1997 and 1998 (collectively the “Alleged Overpayments”). We were aware of our obligation to CMS for any overpayments for services rendered by the Providers during calendar years 1997 and 1998. At the time the cost reports were completed and submitted to CMS for services rendered by the Providers during calendar years 1997 and 1998, we recorded an estimate for the overpayments indicated on those cost reports as part of our continuing operations. When we purchased RMS, the purchase agreement included indemnification from IHS for any overpayments prior to calendar year 1997. Subsequent to our purchase of RMS, IHS sought protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and, as such, is protected from CMS’ and RMS’ efforts to collect on the Alleged Overpayments that relate to calendar year 1996.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2002, it became clear that we were being pursued by CMS as the primary obligor for all of the Alleged Overpayments, including calendar year 1996. While we disputed the validity of these claims, in an effort to expedite the resolution of these matters and halt CMS’ aggressive collection procedures which included the threat of withholding payments to our home health agencies, we entered into a memorandum of understanding for the 1996 and 1997 cost report years (the “1996 Repayment Memorandum” and the “1997 Repayment Memorandum.”) Under both the 1996 Repayment Memorandum and the 1997 Repayment Memorandum, we agreed to make monthly payments of $10,000 for 24 months for each of the 1996 and 1997 cost report years with the balance due at the end of the respective terms. Although we began making payments under these Memorandums, we retained the right to dispute the Alleged Overpayments. While a liability for the 1997 cost report had previously been recorded, no amounts had been recorded for the 1996 cost report liability primarily due to (i) the indemnification we had received from IHS for any overpayments prior to calendar year 1997; (ii) the cost report including providers which we never owned or operated; and (iii) lack of knowledge of a balance owed to CMS for the 1996 cost report and CMS’ ability to demand payment from us. As such, during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 we recorded a $2.4 million Provision for Medicare Settlement Related to Terminated Operations.

During September 2002, we requested a reopening of the 1996 and 1997 cost reports and supplied various documentation to demonstrate that the Alleged Overpayments are incorrect. In September 2003, the Medicare Fiscal Intermediary notified us that they had completed the reopening of the 1997 cost report. As a result in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2003 we recorded an adjustment of $0.4 million for the settlement of the 1997 cost report. In October 2003, we were notified that the Medicare Fiscal Intermediary had completed the reopening of the 1996 cost report. As a result of this cost report settlement, the original liability recorded of $2.4 million was reduced to $0.2 million and we recorded $2.2 million as a Medicare Settlement Related to Terminated Operations during the six-month period ended September 30, 2003. (See Note 11 in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003.)

Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations-Terminated IPA

operating income of $73,000 during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003. Income generated by discontinued operations during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 resulted from a settlement with the HMO which eliminated all amounts due to and amounts due from the HMO incurred prior to the termination of the contracts on January 1, 2003. While this termination was intended to streamline our cost structure and stem anticipated operating losses, we may not achieve any financial benefits as a result of terminating these IPA contracts.

Loss from Discontinued Operations-Home Health Operations

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 was $2.2 million compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the six-month period ended December 30 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Although our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, there is significant uncertainty as to whether we will be able to fund our obligations and satisfy our debt obligations as they become due in Fiscal 2004. At December 31, 2003, the working capital deficit was $3.9 million, total indebtedness accounted for approximately 68.3% of our total capitalization and we had principal and interest of approximately $2.2 million outstanding under our credit facility.

Our credit facility matures on March 31, 2004, is personally guaranteed by our principal shareholder and a member of our board, contains, among other things, a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.05 to 1.00 beginning December 31, 2003 and measured quarterly thereafter and is collateralized by all of our assets. While we were in compliance with the financial covenant at December 31, 2003, there can be no assurances that we will be able to remain in compliance with this financial covenant as required by the credit facility. Our failure to satisfy this financial covenant could result in a default under our credit facility. Based on our current cash flow projections, it is unlikely that we will have sufficient funds available to fully repay the credit facility on or before March 31, 2004. Uncertainty exists as to whether we will be able to extend or replace the credit facility without extending the personal guarantee of our principal shareholder or finding replacement guarantees, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such guarantees. Additionally, if we are not in compliance with the financial covenant at March 31, 2004, it could adversely impact our ability to extend or replace the credit facility or obtain any personal guarantees that might be required. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our attempts to either repay, extend or replace the credit facility and, if so, if this will occur on terms acceptable to us.

On October 31, 2004, $1.1 million of the outstanding principal balance of our Convertible Subordinated Notes Payable (the “Notes”) is due. Based on our current cash flow projections, it appears unlikely that we will have sufficient funds available to make this principal payment. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in our attempts to either pay this principal payment, negotiate a revised maturity schedule, or obtain new financing to replace these Notes and, if so, if this will occur on terms acceptable to us.

In April 2003, we executed a Physician Group Participation Agreement (the “PGP Agreement”) with one of our HMO partners. Pursuant to the PGP Agreement, we will assume certain management responsibilities on a non-risk basis for the HMO’s Medicare, Commercial and Medicaid members assigned to selected primary care physicians in Miami-Dade and Broward counties of Florida. Revenue from this contract will consist of a monthly management fee designed to cover our costs for providing these services. Simultaneously with the execution of the PGP Agreement, we restructured the terms of a $3.9 million contract modification note with the HMO. Pursuant to

the restructuring, the contract modification note was cancelled. The PGP Agreement is for a period of two years and contains a provision for liquidated damages in the amount of $4 million (the “Liquidated Damages”) which can be asserted by the HMO in the event that one of the following occurs: (i) continued participation by us under the PGP Agreement may affect adversely the health, safety or welfare of a member or bring the HMO or its provider networks into disrepute; (ii) we engage in or acquiesce to any act of bankruptcy, receivership or reorganization; (iii) we are excluded from participation in any federal healthcare program; (iv) the HMO determines that we have not used our best efforts to perform under the PGP Agreement; or (v) we materially breach the PGP Agreement. Because there are contingent circumstances under which future payments to the HMO for Liquidated Damages could exceed the amount of debt forgiven, the gain to be recognized from the extinguishments of debt was deferred and will be recognized when the Liquidated Damages are less than the debt forgiven. If we remain in compliance with the terms of the PGP Agreement, the HMO, at its option, may reduce the Liquidated Damages by one-fourth on each of the following dates: October 10, 2003, April 10, 2004; October 9, 2004 and April 10, 2005. If we obtain these reductions, the deferred revenue will be recognized in a manner consistent with the reduction in the Liquidated Damages. On November 7, 2003, we were notified that the Liquidated Damages had been reduced to $3.5 million. Accordingly, we recognized $0.4 million of the deferred gain on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004.

On December 16, 2003, we announced the disposal of our home health operations. The disposition occurred in transactions with three entities that acquired substantially all of the existing home health operations in separate transactions that concluded on or prior to February 7, 2004. As a result, the home health operations are shown as discontinued operations. The home health operations contributed $2.6 million and $1.9 million in revenue and generated an operating loss of $1.3 million, which includes a charge in connection with the disposition of $0.5 million, and $1.0 million during the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, “Accounting for costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”), we estimate that we will record approximately $0.2 million to $0.3 million of additional disposal costs for severance payments and to accrue for lease obligations in the third quarter of Fiscal 2004. We also estimate that the cost of operating the private home health subsidiary prior to its February 7, 2004 sale and the cost of winding up all of our home health agencies activities, including billing and collection of outstanding accounts receivables, will result in a further loss in the third quarter of Fiscal 2004 of approximately $150,000 to $250,000, for a total estimated loss from discontinued operations in the range of $0.4 million to $0.5 million.

In Fiscal 2003, the claims loss ratio for our managed care operations stabilized and improved in the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2004. However, negative changes in the claims loss ratio, due to increases in the utilization of heath care services as well as increases in medical costs without counterbalancing increases in premium revenues from our contracts with HMOs, would reduce the profitability and cash flows from our managed care operations. Historically, we have been able to realize advantageous HMO benefit changes and premium increases in our managed care operations in the third quarter of our fiscal year, which have a positive impact on profitability and cash flow. However, there can be no assurances that any benefit changes will occur or be realized in the third quarter of Fiscal 2004 or that premium increases, if any, will be able to offset any negative health cost trends. With the limited availability of additional financing through the credit facility, if we are unable to maintain the current claims loss ratio for the managed care operations, we could experience a severe strain on our cash flow. There can be no assurances that any potential benefit changes or premium increases in our managed care operations will allow us to meet our cash requirements in Fiscal 2004.

We plan to fund our capital commitments, operating cash requirements and satisfy our obligations from a combination of cash on hand and operating cash flow improvements realized from decreased utilization, HMO premium increases and elimination of the losses associated with the home health operations. We continue to focus on strengthening our managed care operations by enhancing our physician network, streamlining our operations and

implementing measures to contain the rising costs of providing health services to our members. Such measures include, among other things, emphasizing preventive care, encouraging frequent health check-ups, monitoring compliance with drug therapies, entering into our own contracts with health care providers such as medical specialists and recommending that our members utilize hospitals and outpatient facilities that have favorable rate structures. If we can not maintain our current claims loss ratio for our managed care operations, our business, results of operations, and cash flow may be materially adversely affected and we may be unable to meet our financial obligations as they become due.

If we are unable to satisfy our cash requirements, we may be required to take certain steps, such as borrowing additional funds, restructuring our indebtedness, selling assets, selling equity, reducing or delaying capital expenditures or payments to trade creditors and forgoing certain business opportunities. If we need additional capital to repay our obligations or fund operations, there can be no assurances that such capital can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. The incurring or assumption of additional indebtedness could result in the issuance of additional equity and/or debt which can have a dilutive effect on current shareholders and a significant effect on our operations.

Our income from continuing operations was $3.4 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003. Cash provided by continuing operations for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 was $1.4 million. The following were the most significant items which are reflected in the income from continuing operations but did not impact our cash flows from operations during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003:

	•		The net decrease in due to/from Medicare of $2.4 million is primarily due to the settlement with Medicare regarding the 1996 RMS cost report. (See Note 11 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003.) This settlement increased income from continuing operations without impacting our cash flow.

	•		Depreciation and amortization, including the amortization of deferred financing costs, reduced income from continuing operations by $0.6 million, without reducing cash from operations.

	•		Increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses reduced income from continuing operations by $0.6 million, without reducing cash from operations.

	•		Our net receivable from HMOs increased by $0.6 million and impacted our income from continuing operations but did not provide cash during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003.

	•		Our net income increased by $0.4 million as a result of the gain on extinguishment of debt without impacting our cash flows.

Our cash used in investing activities by continuing operations of $23,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 includes $30,000 in proceeds from maturities of restricted cash offset by $54,000 for the purchase of equipment. Cash used in investing activities by discontinued operations of $10,000 primarily related to the purchase of equipment. Our cash used in financing activities for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 was $0.5 million, primarily due to payments on our credit facility and other various notes payable.

Prior to October 1, 2000, our Medicare HHAs, whose operating results are currently classified in discontinued operations, were reimbursed for services provided based on a reasonable cost methodology. We were reimbursed for cost reimbursable items at a tentative rate with final settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports and subsequent audits by CMS. Changes in the estimated settlements we recorded may be adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined and may have a material adverse affect on our results of operations and cash flow. See Note 11 in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 and Note 12 in our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003 regarding amounts currently due to CMS.

One of our HMO contracts requires that we fund a claims reserve out of operating profits of certain of our staff model clinics. At December 31, 2003, the reserve was fully funded. The HMO can only draw upon this reserve in the event that the staff model clinics in question have incurred an account deficit and that we are unable or

unwilling to satisfy the HMOs’ demand to fund the deficit. At no time during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 were the staff model clinics in question in an account deficit position.

Other factors that could affect our liquidity and cash flow which are also discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003 include: (i) increasing costs of health care services; (ii) loss of a material contract; (iii) decreases in reimbursement rates by third-party payors; (iv) retroactive cost report adjustments; (v) adverse governmental regulation, (vi) damage awards under pending or future litigation; and (vii) increased insurance costs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At December 31, 2003, we had only cash equivalents, invested in high grade, very short-term securities, which are not typically subject to material market risk. We have loans outstanding at fixed rates. For loans with fixed interest rates, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would have no impact on our future earnings and cash flows related to these instruments and would have an immaterial impact on the fair value of these instruments. Our Credit Facility is interest rate sensitive. A 100 basis point adverse movement (increase) in interest rates would have immaterially increased our net loss for both of the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 by approximately $13,000.
