TAMPA, FL – (BUSINESSWIRE) – April 7, 2005 – Comprehensive Care Corporation (OTCBB:CHCR) (CompCare), a company specializing in managed behavioral healthcare and employee assistance services through its operating subsidiaries, today reported results for the third quarter of Fiscal 2005 ended February 28, 2005 and for the nine months ended February 28, 2005. Net income for the quarter ended February 28, 2005 was $212,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to the net loss of $78,000, or $0.02 loss per diluted share, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the nine months ended February 28, 2005, net income was $406,000, or $0.08 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $636,000, or $0.15 diluted loss per share, for the nine months ended February 29, 2004, which included a $387,000 loss, or $0.09 diluted loss per share, from discontinued operations.

Operating revenues were $6.2 million and $18.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2005 compared to operating revenues of $6.3 million and $21.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004. The decrease in operating revenues during Fiscal 2005 is primarily attributable to the previously announced loss of one major customer during the second half of Fiscal 2004 who made the decision to internally manage their behavioral health benefit.

Robert J. Landis, Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of CompCare, said, “We have reported net income for the third consecutive quarter. This consistent progress, along with our recent private placement, significantly improves our financial position. We are very pleased to report a profit once again and remain diligent in our efforts for continued growth.”
