BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY Comprehensive Care Corporation(R) (the "Company") is a Delaware Corporation organized in 1969. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include the Company's principal operating subsidiary, Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc.SM (1) ("CompCare"SM (2) or "CBC") and subsidiary corporations. Prior to Fiscal 1993, the Company principally engaged in the ownership, operation and management of psychiatric and substance abuse programs in Company owned, leased, or unaffiliated hospitals. During Fiscal 1999, the Company completed its plan to dispose of its hospital business segment. Commencing in Fiscal 1993, the Company transitioned its business focus to managed behavioral healthcare products and services through its wholly owned subsidiary, CompCare. In addition to its managed care products, CompCare provides contract services through its subsidiary, Comprehensive Care Integration, Inc. ("CCI"). The Company's chief focus is its managed care business. As of May 31, 2000, the Company had the following active subsidiaries:

------------- (1) The Company has provided managed care products since the acquisition of AccessCare, Inc. in December 1992. On August 1, 1995, the Company renamed this subsidiary to Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc.(SM) -------------- (1) Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. is a registered service mark of the Company. (2) CompCare is a registered service mark of Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. 2 3 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RECENT DEVELOPMENTS - During the first quarter of Fiscal 2001, the Company's Florida region implemented two new contracts to provide behavioral healthcare benefits to approximately 200,000 new members. - The Company has successfully retained two contracts with one HMO in Texas, which were previously reported as expected cancellations. These two contracts have accounted for approximately 6.3% and 3.7% of operating revenue from continuing operations for Fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. - As more fully described in Item 3, Legal Proceedings, effective July 11, 2000, the Company submitted an Offer in Compromise (the "Offer") to the Appeals Office of the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to resolve a controversy with respect to $12 million of refunds received on the carryback of certain losses under Section 172(f) of the Internal Revenue Code at a substantially reduced amount. There can be no assurance that the IRS will accept the Offer. - Effective June 30, 2000, Humana, Inc. ("Humana") completed the sale of its North Florida Medicaid business to HealthEase of Florida, Inc. Effective July 1, 2000, the Company has contracted with HealthEase of Florida, Inc. to continue to provide behavioral healthcare services to approximately 100,000 of 160,000 Florida members that were managed by the Company under contracts with Humana. Additionally, Humana's contracts with the Company, which cover specific commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare populations of approximately 60,000 members, will terminate September 30, 2000. - As more fully described in Note 18 to the audited, consolidated financial statements, the Company has recently reached agreements, which fully settled two prior legal claims. - The Company had two major contracts that terminated on December 31, 1999. Following the termination of these contracts, the Company underwent a restructuring that included the elimination of the Company's California administrative office and related executive and staff positions and, additionally, the centralization of certain contract management and clinical functions, which was completed during February, 2000. Approximately 50 positions were eliminated during Fiscal 2000. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $5.8 million, which is primarily attributable to the loss of two major contracts during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999 and two major contracts during the third quarter of Fiscal 2000. Additionally, this loss included approximately $0.9 million of restructuring expenses in connection with the elimination of the Company's California office and affiliated employees, approximately $0.6 million of increased marketing and other costs specific to the Company's efforts to regain business in Puerto Rico, and in other regions, approximately $0.1 million of operating costs incurred to manage the Company's Year 2000 readiness program and approximately $0.1 million of costs in connection with the NCQA accreditation. These expenses were offset in part by $0.3 million of revenue related to favorable cost report settlements completed during the year and $0.2 million of non-operating gains recognized during Fiscal 2000, primarily related to property tax refunds received specific to assets disposed of during Fiscal 1999 or earlier. This compares to the net loss from continuing operations of $3.0 million for the same period of 1999, which included approximately $0.9 million of bad debt expense specific to two major contracts that terminated during Fiscal 1999, $0.3 million of bad debt expense specific to hospital accounts receivable that were written off after the March 11, 1999 disposal date, and $0.2 million of bad debt expense specific to CCI contracts that terminated prior to May 31, 1999. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.8 million of expense in its unsuccessful bid for a managed care contract in Argentina and approximately $0.6 million of restructuring costs related to the loss of the PCA contract in Puerto Rico during Fiscal 1999. These expenses were offset by an extraordinary gain of $0.1 million related to the debenture exchange that took place during Fiscal 1999. Stockholders' deficit increased to $10.7 million in Fiscal 2000 from $4.9 million as of May 31, 1999. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $2.5 million as of May 31, 2000, from $7.8 million as of May 31, 1999. Managed care 3 4 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES operations accounted for approximately 98% of the Company's operating revenues with discontinued and other operations accounting for 2% of the Company's operating revenues for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000. BUSINESS GENERAL The Company manages the delivery of a continuum of psychiatric and substance abuse services to commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid members on behalf of employers, health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), preferred provider organizations ("PPOs"), government organizations, third-party claims administrators, and commercial and other group purchasers of behavioral healthcare services. The services provided by the Company are delivered through management service agreements, administrative service agreements, and capitated contracts. Under capitated contracts, the primary payor of healthcare services pre-pays a fixed, per member per month ("PMPM") fee for covered psychiatric and substance abuse services to the Company regardless of actual member utilization. Current services include a broad spectrum of inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance abuse therapy, counseling, and supportive interventions. Programs are contracted through inpatient facilities as well as through experienced outpatient practitioners. The Company currently provides services to contracted members in seven states and provides managed behavioral healthcare services to recipients through subcontracts with HMOs. The programs and services currently offered by the Company include fully integrated, capitated behavioral healthcare services, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), case management/utilization review services, administrative services management (ASOs), provider sponsored health plan development, preferred provider network development, management and physician advisor reviews, and overall care management services. The Company also manages behavioral healthcare services in correctional settings or for parolees and probationers in three states. Fully integrated capitated lives totaled approximately 369,000 and 571,000 at May 31, 2000, and 1999, respectively. ASO lives were approximately 185,000 and 217,000 at May 31, 2000, and 1999, respectively. EAP lives were approximately 60,000 at May 31, 2000 and 1999. The Company manages its clinical service programs using proven treatment technologies and trains its providers to use effective, science-based treatment. The Company has an incentive to keep its members healthy and to manage its costs through measures such as the monitoring of hospital inpatient admissions and the review of authorizations for various types of outpatient therapy. The goal is to combine access to quality behavioral healthcare services with effective management controls in order to ensure the most cost-effective use of healthcare resources. SOURCES OF REVENUE The Company provides managed behavioral healthcare and substance abuse services to its members under contract. Generally, the Company receives a negotiated amount on a PMPM or capitated basis to provide these services. The Company then contracts directly with providers who receive a pre-determined fee-for-service rate, case rate, or, alternatively, the Company may contract with an integrated provider company on a sub-capitated basis. Behavioral healthcare providers include psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and other licensed healthcare professionals. Under full-risk capitation arrangements, the Company is responsible for the development and management of service networks, including physicians, therapists and hospitalization services and all claims are managed and paid by the Company. In cases where the Company has made sub-capitation arrangements, the outside company manages service delivery through a Company approved and credentialed network that is guided by stringent quality standards. In most cases, claims are paid by the Company and deducted from the capitation payment. DELIVERY OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES Members are usually directed to the Company by their employer, HMO, or physician and, if deemed appropriate, receive an initial authorization for a consultation. Based upon the initial consultation, a treatment plan is established for the member. The Company attempts to control its healthcare expense risk by entering into contractual relationships with healthcare providers, including hospitals, physician groups and other managed care organizations, either on a sub-capitated, discounted fee-for-service, or per-case basis. During Fiscal 2000, the Company provided services under capitated arrangements for commercial, Medicare and Medicaid patients in Florida and Texas, commercial and Medicaid patients in Michigan, and commercial patients in California, Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. 4 5 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The new business in fiscal year 2000 included capitated arrangements under ASO contracts, in which the client reimburses the Company for the costs of overall behavioral healthcare services rendered through contracted providers. Additionally, the Company has recently been awarded ASO, commercial, and Medicaid contracts in Florida and Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program contracts in Texas that have effective dates beginning in Fiscal 2001. The Company performs periodic reviews of its current contracts with payors and may amend or review the terms of unprofitable contracts. OVERVIEW OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY Behavioral healthcare involves the treatment of a variety of behavioral health conditions such as emotional and mental health problems, substance abuse, and other personal concerns that require outpatient and inpatient therapy. The complexity of these conditions has required expanded services to address social issues that exacerbate illness. There is a growing emphasis on the correlation between physical and mental illness, with resultant expansion of joint HMO and managed behavioral healthcare organization ("MBHO") programs. As new psychotropic medications have become available, HMOs have expressed to MBHOs their interest in the expansion of pharmacy management. Industry sources estimate that approximately $83 billion was spent on behavioral healthcare services in the United States in 1998. In response to escalating costs, behavioral healthcare companies, such as CompCare, have expanded their focus on member care and arranging for the appropriate level of service in a cost-effective manner. As a result of the transition to managed behavioral healthcare, occupancy rates and average length of stay for inpatient facilities have declined, while outpatient treatment and alternative care services have increased. GROWTH STRATEGY The Company's objective is to expand its presence in both existing and new managed behavioral healthcare markets by obtaining new contracts with HMOs, corporations, government agencies, and other payors through its reputation of providing quality managed behavioral healthcare services with the most cost-effective use of healthcare resources. New products for existing and potential clients include psychotropic pharmacy benefit management, violence prevention and intervention, and catastrophic care management for medical and psychiatric illness. CompCare is actively pursuing the expansion of its Criminal Justice programs. CompCare has developed its Behavioral Corrections Program and is currently under contract with the state of Idaho to provide behavioral healthcare services to inmates and parolees. In addition to the full range of corrections healthcare services in the state of Idaho, CompCare is now providing services in Florida and in Michigan under contracts with the Department of Corrections ("DOC") in each of these two states. The Michigan DOC contract has provided a unique opportunity for the Company to apply managed care principles to the management of residential beds. The Company believes that the privatization of corrections healthcare services will continue to provide opportunities for the Company to expand the number and scope of its contracts with state and federal correctional facilities. Additionally, the Company is developing products that will bring its core competencies to new service areas such as behavioral pharmacy management, juvenile justice, and public school systems. COMPETITION The behavioral healthcare industry is highly competitive, with approximately two dozen managed behavioral healthcare companies providing service for more than 176 million lives in the United States. Additionally, there are numerous local and regional group practices, community mental health centers and behavioral healthcare hospitals that manage behavioral healthcare on behalf of HMOs, PPOs and local governments. In the last several years, most markets have seen greater migration to fully capitated HMO products, which is the Company's primary niche. As a consequence of these changes, marketplace spending on managed behavioral healthcare services is expected to grow. The Company is subject to numerous state and federal regulations, as well as changes in Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement. As of May 31, 2000, the Company managed approximately 228,000 lives in connection with behavioral and substance abuse services covered through Medicaid in Florida and Texas. In addition, the Company manages approximately 16,000 lives covered through Medicare in Florida. At this time, the Company is unable to predict what effect, if any, changes in Medicaid and Medicare legislation may have on its business (see "Business - Government Regulation"). 5 6 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES GOVERNMENT REGULATION REGULATORY MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE The Company is subject to extensive and evolving state and federal regulations. These regulations range from licensure and compliance with regulations related to insurance companies and other risk-assuming entities, to licensure and compliance with regulations related to healthcare providers. These laws and regulations may vary considerably among states. As a result, the Company may be subject to the specific regulatory approach adopted by each state for regulation of managed care companies and for providers of behavioral healthcare treatment services. The Company is licensed to operate in Michigan as a Limited Health Service Organization ("LHSO") and is required to comply with certain laws and regulations that, among other things, may require the Company to maintain certain types of assets and minimum levels of deposits, capital, surplus, reserves, or net worth. In many states, entities that assume risk under contract with licensed insurance companies or HMOs have not been considered by state regulators to be conducting an insurance or HMO business. As a result, the Company has not sought licensure as either an insurer or HMO in certain states. Currently, management cannot quantify the potential effects of additional regulation of the managed care industry, but such costs will have an adverse effect on further operations to the extent that they are not able to be recouped in future managed care contracts. Management believes that the Company is currently in material compliance with the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates. ACCREDITATION To develop standards that effectively evaluate the structure and function of medical and quality management systems in managed care organizations, the National Committee on Quality Assurance, ("NCQA") has developed an extensive review and development process in conjunction with the managed care industry, healthcare purchasers, state regulators, and consumers. The Standards for Accreditation of Managed Behavioral Healthcare Organizations used by NCQA reviewers to evaluate a managed behavioral healthcare organization address the following areas: quality improvement; utilization management; credentialing; members' rights and responsibilities; access, availability, referral and triage; preventative care guidelines; and medical records. These standards validate that a managed behavioral healthcare organization is founded on principles of quality and is continuously improving the clinical care and services it provides. In 2001, NCQA will introduce these standards to health plan accreditations and require more behavioral healthcare expertise to maintain accreditation status. NCQA also utilizes Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set ("HEDIS"), which is a core set of performance measurements developed to respond to complex but clearly defined employer needs as standards for patient care and customer satisfaction. CompCare's Southeast Region operation was awarded NCQA accreditation in August 1999. ADMINISTRATION AND EMPLOYEES The Company's executive and administrative offices are located in Tampa, Florida, where management maintains operations, business development, accounting, and governmental and statistical reporting functions. The Company currently employs a total of 101 employees who are assigned to its operations as follows: TOTAL EMPLOYEES ------------- Managed care operations................... 97 Corporate or other operations............. 4 --- Total.................................. 101 === MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS The Company utilizes a fully integrated information system designed as a complete managed care, three-tier application. The system, known as Nichols TXEN ("TXEN"), was developed by Nichols Research, and the Company is a licensed user of the TXEN system. The Company has implemented this system as a focused 6 7 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES managed behavioral healthcare system in its three regions that are active in providing managed behavioral healthcare services. The Company views the system to be adequate for its current and future needs. All locations are strategically connected to the Company's frame relay telecommunications network, allowing automated call-path routing to overlap coverage for peak call times. Electronic access is provided and encouraged between the Company and all provider groups wishing to participate in e-mail, electronic billing, and electronic forms. Major care functions such as assessment information, service plans, initial authorizations, extension requests, termination summaries, appeals, credentialing, billing, and claim/encounter processing are backed by decision aids to correctly adjudicate patient-specific transactions. MARKETING AND SALES The Company's business development staff is responsible for generating new sales leads and for preparing proposals and responses to formal commercial and public sector Requests for Proposals ("RFPs"). The Company's marketing initiatives are managed by the Chief Executive Officer. The regional sales personnel strengthen the Company's marketing efforts by providing a local presence and accountability. Sales expectations are integrated into the performance requirements for executive staff and local sales personnel. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The following table sets forth certain information regarding the properties owned or leased by the Company at May 31, 2000.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (1) In July 2000, Steiner Corporation, a Colorado linen service company, commenced an action against the Company seeking damages in the amount of, approximately, $145,000 by reason of an alleged early termination of a laundry service contract. While this claim has only recently been asserted, the Company intends to deny liability. Additionally, the Company does not believe that this claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. (2) A collection proceeding has been filed against the Company in connection with the previously active managed care operation in Puerto Rico. This collection effort was filed by a Puerto Rico provider, Hato Rey Psychiatric Hospital d/b/a Mepsi Center ("MEPSI"). MEPSI claims that the Company owes MEPSI a total of $681,000, plus interest and legal fees, for services rendered to patients managed by the Company under the prior Puerto Rico Reforma Program contract, which was held by Humana, Inc. The Company is conducting an audit to determine the final amount, if any, it believes is owed to MEPSI. Such payment would be applied against the Company's existing reserve for Puerto Rico claims and disbursed from the provider funds that are held in escrow (see Note 2 to the audited, consolidated financial statements - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", "Restricted Cash"). The Company does not believe that this claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 7 8 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (3) The Company's subsidiary, Careunit Hospital of Ohio, Inc. ("Careunit") has been named as a third party defendant in the principal action entitled "Vencor, Inc. v. Empe, Inc." The principal action arises out of the sale by Careunit of its Ohio hospital facility to Vencor, Inc. ("Vencor") and relates to an alleged asbestos condition at the Ohio facility. Empe, Inc. ("Empe") apparently was Vencor's environmental expert in connection with this transaction. In making Careunit a third party defendant, Empe claims that it was misled and that Careunit allegedly failed to disclose the asbestos condition in the facility when Vencor conducted its environmental assessment. No specific amount of damages is claimed, but rather, the third party complaint seeks apportionment, indemnity and compensatory damages as may be determined at trial. The Company's insurance carrier has provided a defense of this action, which is only in its formative stages. The Company does not believe that this claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. (4) In May, 1999, the Company commenced an action against Richard Powers, a former Executive Vice President of the Company, and his current employer, American Psych Systems ("APS"), in the Circuit Court in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. The Company claims that Mr. Powers breached his agreements with the Company by attempting to divert customers to APS. The Company further claims that APS tortuously interfered with the Company's business relationships by directing Powers to solicit these customers in violation of his agreements. The suit is still in its early stages. The Court has denied a motion to dismiss filed by Powers and APS, and the parties have begun the discovery process. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. (5) Although no formal claim has been made or asserted, Humana Health Plans of Puerto Rico, Inc. ("Humana") has claimed that the Company owes $3.0 million to Humana in connection with the contract that was terminated by Humana on March 31, 1999. Humana's claim relates to the pharmacy and laboratory costs incurred by Humana throughout the contract period. The Company has expressed to Humana its total disagreement with Humana's position. The Company believes that Humana owes the Company in excess of $3.0 million in relation to this same issue; however, the Company has not formally asserted such claim. The Company does not believe that Humana's claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. (6) On February 19, 1999, the California Superior Court denied the Company's Petition for Writ of Mandate of an adverse administrative appeal decision regarding application of the Maximum Inpatient Reimbursement Limitation ("MIRL") to Medi-Cal reimbursement paid to Brea Neuropsychiatric Hospital for its fiscal periods 1983 through 1986. The Company owned this facility until its disposal in fiscal year 1991. The subject matter of the Superior Court action involved the refusal of the administrative law judge to order further reductions in the liability for costs associated with treating high cost, long stay Medi-Cal patients, which are commonly referred to as "outliers". The Company does not plan to appeal the California Superior Court decision for which the Notice of Entry of Judgment was entered on February 26, 1999. As of May 31, 2000, the Company has $1.2 million accrued relating to this matter. (7) In connection with the filing of its Federal income tax returns for fiscal years 1995 and 1996, the Company filed a tentative refund claim to carry back losses described in Section 172(f) of the IRC, requesting a refund to the Company of $9.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, of which refunds of $9.4 million and $5.4 million were received. In addition, the Company also filed amended Federal income tax returns for fiscal years prior to 1995, requesting similar refunds of losses carried back under Section 172(f) of $6.2 million for 1986; $0.4 million for 1985; $0.7 million for 1983; and $0.4 million for 1982, a total of $7.7 million. During fiscal years 1997 and 1996, the Company recognized a portion of the refunds received as a tax benefit of $0.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The balance of the refunds received, $12.1 million, is recorded as a deferred liability, "Unbenefitted tax refunds received" pending resolution by the IRS of the appropriateness of the Section 172(f) carryback. The additional refunds requested under Section 172(f) for prior years of $7.7 million have not been received, nor has the Company recognized any tax benefit related to these potential refunds. Section 172(f) of the IRC provides for a ten-year net operating loss carryback for specific losses attributable to (1) a product liability or (2) a liability arising under a federal or state law or out of any tort if the act giving rise to such liability occurs at least three years before the beginning of the taxable year. The applicability of Section 172(f) to the type of business in which the Company operates is unclear. No assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to retain the refunds received to date or that the additional refunds requested will be received. 8 9 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES As a result of the Section 172(f) carryback claims filed by the Company, and the tentative refunds received, the Company came under audit with respect to the tax years previously mentioned. On August 21, 1998, the Company received an examination report, dated August 6, 1998, from the IRS advising the Company that it was disallowing $12.4 million of the $14.8 million of refunds previously received, and the additional refunds requested of $7.7 million. If the position of the IRS were to be upheld, the Company would be required to repay $12.4 million in refunds previously received, plus accrued interest of approximately $5.2 million through May 31, 2000. Accordingly, the Company would be entitled to a repayment of the fees advanced to its tax advisor relating to these refund claims of approximately $2.5 million, which is reported as "other receivable" in the accompanying balance sheet. This report commenced the administrative appeals process. The Company filed a protest letter with the IRS on November 6, 1998. The Company's tax advisor relating to these refund claims has advised management that the administrative appeals process could take twelve to eighteen months. In the event the Company wishes to further protest the results of its administrative appeal, it may further appeal to the United States Tax Court following the final determination of the administrative appeal. The Company has been advised that a determination by the United States Tax Court could take up to an additional twelve months from commencement of the appeals process in the United States Tax Court. Additionally, the IRS reserves the right to assess and collect the tax previously refunded to the Company at any time during the appeals process. Effective July 11, 2000, the Company submitted an Offer in Compromise (the "Offer") to the Appeals Office of the IRS to resolve the controversy with respect to the refunds at a substantially reduced amount. There can be no assurance that the IRS will accept the Offer. From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are also parties to and their property is subject to ordinary, routine litigation incidental to their business. In some pending cases, claims may exceed insurance policy limits and the Company or any one of its subsidiaries may have exposure to liability that is not covered by insurance. Management believes that the outcome of such lawsuits will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial statements. ITEM 4.

11 12 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements, the realization of which may be impacted by certain important factors discussed below under "Risk Factors -- Important Factors Related to Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks". GENERAL The following table summarizes the Company's financial data for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):
CONSOLIDATED CORPORATE AND CONTINUING DISCONTINUED 2000 MANAGED CARE OTHER OPERATIONS OPERATIONS OPERATIONS ----- -------------- ------------------ -------------- -------------- Operating revenues $ 17,355 $ 364 $ 17,719 $ -- Healthcare operating expenses 15,474 327 15,801 -- General/administrative expenses 3,753 3,221 6,974 -- Other operating expenses 2,917 (1,898) 1,019 -- -------- -------- -------- ------- 22,144 1,650 23,794 -- -------- -------- -------- ------- Operating loss $ (4,789) $ (1,286) $ (6,075) $ -- ======== ======== ======== ======= 1999 ------- Operating revenues $ 37,691 $ 1,338 $ 39,029 $ 4,187 Healthcare operating expenses 29,250 526 29,776 3,082 General/administrative expenses 5,140 4,010 9,150 16 Other operating expenses 2,622 656 3,278 1,705 -------- -------- -------- ------- 37,012 5,192 42,204 4,803 -------- -------- -------- ------- Operating income (loss) $ 679 $ (3,854) $ (3,175) $ (616) ======== ======== ======== =======
During Fiscal 2000, the Company's operating revenues from continuing operations declined by 54.6%, or $21.3 million. Managed care operations accounted for 98.0%, or $17.4 million of the Company's overall operating revenues. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THE YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 2000, COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 1999. The Company reported an operating loss of approximately $6.1 million from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, which is primarily attributable to the loss of two major, managed care contracts during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999. Additionally, this loss included approximately $0.9 million of restructuring expenses in connection with the elimination of the Company's California office and affiliated employees, approximately $0.6 million of increased marketing and other costs specific to the Company's efforts to regain business in Puerto Rico and in other regions, approximately $0.1 million of operating costs incurred to manage the Company's Year 2000 readiness program, and approximately $0.1 million of costs in connection with the NCQA accreditation. These expenses were offset in part by $0.3 million of revenue related to favorable cost report settlements that took place during the year. This is compared to an operating loss of $3.2 million from continuing operations reported for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999, which included approximately $0.9 million of bad debt expense specific to two major contracts that terminated during Fiscal 1999, $0.3 million of bad debt expense specific to hospital accounts receivable that were written off after the March 11, 1999 disposal date, and $0.2 million of bad debt expense specific to CCI contracts that terminated prior to May 31, 1999. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.8 million of expense in its unsuccessful bid for a managed care contract in Argentina and approximately $0.6 million of restructuring costs related to the loss of the PCA contract in Puerto Rico during Fiscal 1999. Operating revenues from continuing operations decreased by approximately 54.6%, or $21.3 million, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily 12 13 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES attributable to the loss of two major contracts during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999 and two major contracts during the third quarter of Fiscal 2000. Healthcare operating expenses from continuing operations decreased by 46.9%, or $14.0 million, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999. This decrease is attributable to the loss of revenue specific to two major contracts that terminated in Fiscal 1999 and two major contracts that terminated in Fiscal 2000. Healthcare operating expense as a percentage of net revenue from continuing operations increased from 76.3% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999 to 89.2% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000. This percentage increase is attributable to $0.3 million of claims expense recorded during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 specific to the Puerto Rico contract, which terminated in Fiscal 1999. Additionally, this percentage increase is attributable to continuing fixed costs that cannot be tied to the specific contracts that were terminated during Fiscal 1999. Efforts are being made to reduce the overall costs to manage the Company's existing contracts, including cost reductions related to managing the Company's healthcare information systems and, also, the centralization of certain contract management and clinical functions, which was completed during February 2000. General and administrative expenses from continuing operations decreased by approximately 23.8%, or $2.2 million, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily attributable to $1.5 million of savings in legal and accounting fees, a $0.5 million reduction in building lease costs, a $0.2 million savings in directors fees, $0.2 million of savings in corporate salaries, and a $0.1 million reduction in shareholder reporting costs in comparison to costs incurred for the same period during Fiscal 1999. These savings were offset by $0.3 million of fees paid to marketing consultants during Fiscal 2000. General and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue increased from 23.4% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999 to 39.4% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000. This percentage increase is attributable to the continuing fixed costs that cannot be tied to the specific contracts that were terminated during Fiscal 1999. The Company has taken steps to reduce its general and administrative costs by making significant staff reductions, including certain executive and staff positions that were eliminated as a result of the decision to close the Company's California office effective January 31, 2000. Other operating expenses from continuing operations decreased by $2.3 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily attributable to the $0.9 million of bad debt expense recognized during the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999 specific to the two major, managed care contracts that terminated during Fiscal 1999, $0.3 million of bad debt expense specific to hospital accounts receivable that were written off after the March 11, 1999 disposal date, and $0.2 million of bad debt expense specific to CCI contracts that were terminated prior to May 31, 1999. In contrast to the $1.6 million of bad debt expense recognized in Fiscal 1999, the Company recognized recoveries totaling $0.6 million during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000. Additionally, expense for depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.2 million during Fiscal 2000 in comparison to the prior year. These gains were offset by a restructuring charge related to the elimination of the Company's California administrative office and related executive staff during Fiscal 2000. Such costs exceeded the prior year restructuring charge, which pertained to the loss of the Puerto Rico contract, by approximately $0.2 million. The Company is taking steps designed to increase revenues primarily through its managed care operations and continued development of its behavioral medicine products in criminal justice and other markets. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 1998 The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $3.0 million, which included approximately $0.9 million of bad debt expense specific to two major contracts that terminated during Fiscal 1999, $0.3 million of bad debt expense specific to hospital accounts receivable that were written off after the March 11, 1999 disposal date, and $0.2 million of bad debt expense specific to CCI contracts that were terminated prior to May 31, 1999. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.8 million of expense in its unsuccessful bid for a managed care contract in Argentina and approximately $0.6 million of restructuring costs related to the loss of the PCA contract in Puerto Rico. These expenses were offset by an extraordinary gain of $0.1 million related to the debenture exchange. This compares to net income of $1.5 million from continuing operations for the same period of 1998, which included $1.3 million of income relating to an adjustment made in the Company's estimated claims payable reserve. Operating revenues from continuing operations decreased by 1.9% or $0.8 million for the year ended May 31, 1999, compared to the year ended May 31, 1998. The decrease in operating revenues is attributable to decreases in 13 14 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES operating revenues of $0.7 million and $0.1 million for managed care and corporate and other operations, respectively. Managed care revenues decreased due to the loss of two major contracts during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999 (see Note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements -- "Major Contracts/Customers"). The decline in operating revenue from corporate and other operations is primarily due to the cancellation or termination of several unprofitable CCI contracts during Fiscal 1999. Healthcare operating expenses from continuing operations decreased by $1.0 million for the year ended May 31, 1999, as compared to the year ended May 31, 1998. The decrease in healthcare operating expenses is primarily attributable to the decrease in managed care and CCI revenues during Fiscal 1999. Healthcare operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for managed care operations decreased slightly from 77.4% for the year ended May 31, 1998, to 76.3% for the year ended May 31, 1999. General and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased by 29.1%, or $2.1 million, for the year ended May 31, 1999, as compared to the year ended May 31, 1998. This increase is primarily due to approximately $1.7 million of increased costs for professional and consulting fees and other administrative costs, including $0.2 million attributable to one legal settlement and $0.7 million of increased costs to manage the Company's information systems. These increases were offset by savings over the prior year of approximately $0.2 million, resulting from the restructuring that was completed during the quarter ended February 28, 1998. Other operating costs from continuing operations increased by approximately $2.4 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999, compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 1998. This increase is directly attributable to the $1.5 million of expense for the Company's provision for doubtful accounts, a $0.3 million increase in depreciation expense and $0.6 million of restructuring costs related to the loss of the Company's Puerto Rico contract. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At May 31, 2000, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, the Company used $5.3 million in its continuing operations. Additionally, $0.1 million was provided by its investing activities. The Company reported a loss of $5.8 million from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, compared to a loss of $3.1 million from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $62.5 million and total stockholders' deficit of $10.7 million as of May 31, 2000. Additionally, the Company's current assets at May 31, 2000, amounted to approximately $17.4 million and current liabilities were approximately $29.6 million, resulting in a working capital deficiency of approximately $12.2 million. The Company's primary use of available cash resources is to expand its managed care business and fund operations. The Company's available sources of cash during the next fiscal year will be derived from operations. In recent months, the Company has taken steps necessary to reduce its operating costs by instituting staff reductions and cost control measures. At this time, the Company cannot state with any degree of certainty whether additional equity or debt financing will be available to it and, if available, that the source of financing would be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company. Any potential sources of additional financing may be subject to business and economic conditions outside the Company's control. The working capital and stockholders' deficits may raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUES The Year 2000 problem exists because many computer programs were designed and developed without considering the upcoming change in century. Historically, certain computerized systems have been designed to have two-digit rather than four-digit fields to define the applicable year and this could mean that many computer programs are unable to distinguish between the year 1900 and 14 15 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES the year 2000 when a date of "00" is used for the applicable year. Potential problems could exist for both information technology systems ("IT") and non-IT systems. Non-IT systems typically include embedded technology, such as micro-controllers, and may include equipment ranging from telephone switches and fax machines to copy machines. Any failure to correct a Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in certain normal business activities or operations due to errors or system failures. The Company developed a compliance program ("Plan") which used an enterprise wide, phased approach for assessing, remediating or replacing, testing, and implementing each of its mission-critical systems. The Plan covers many diverse systems and components of systems and, as such, each system was treated separately in the Plan. Additionally, since the Company's Plan addresses the Year 2000 problem from an enterprise wide approach, the Plan covers both information technology ("IT") systems and non-IT systems. The Plan also includes reviews of external vendors, EDI exchange partners, and environmental infrastructure, including utilities and security systems. The Company completed the Remediation, Testing, and Implementation phases of its project for Mission Critical systems in September 1999, with ongoing project management and, also, maintenance of the vendor compliance process. The Company also completed implementation for all regional offices to its new clinical operating system (TXEN). The system was purchased from Nichols Research Corporation and has been certified Year 2000 compliant. The implementation occurred ahead of the scheduled implementation date of September 30, 1999. The Company has also completed full remediation and testing of its main financial and accounting system. Additionally, the Company has also completed assessment of its mission critical systems, equipment and infrastructure. As of August 25, 2000, there has been no disruption of normal business activities or system failures experienced by the Company. The Company is continuing to address the potential impact of Year 2000 on its non-essential information systems, its other equipment that may be affected by the Year 2000, and the impact of transacting business with parties who do not have Year 2000 compliant systems. The Company has completed mailing of its Year 2000 survey to all business partners, manufacturers of the Company's non-essential business equipment, and other trade vendors. The Company has continued its vendor compliance program by mailing surveys to all health providers that are utilized by the Company. The Company cannot state with any certainty whether their suppliers, vendors and data exchange partners will remain compliant even if they have stated compliance in previous communications. Even though the Company will observe `On-going Vigilance' for Year 2000 problems, they cannot ensure that their vendors, providers, and manufacturers will be as vigilant. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million in expense specific to its Year 2000 compliance program which has been paid to consultants or vendors providing services or equipment for the Company's compliance program. Additionally, the Company paid approximately $0.1 million that was recorded as capital expenditures during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000. The following chart provides a summary of the Company's actual expenditures to date related to its Year 2000 Plan. As of May 31, 2000, there are no future expected costs related to the Company's Year 2000 Plan. ACTUAL COSTS INCURRED AT MAY 31, 2000 ------------ Capital expenditures................................. $ 825,000 Operating expense.................................... 238,000 ----------- Total................................................ $ 1,063,000 =========== CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995: Except for historical information, the matters discussed that may be considered forward-looking statements may be subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected, including uncertainties in the market, pricing, competition, procurement efficiencies, uncertainties inherent in the Year 2000 problem, other matters discussed in this annual report on Form 10-K, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports. 15 16 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RISK FACTORS IMPORTANT FACTORS RELATED TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that may materially affect revenues, expenses and operating results include, without limitation, the Company's success in (i) expanding the managed behavioral healthcare operations, (ii) effective management in the delivery of services, (iii) risk and utilization in context of capitated payouts, and (iv) retaining certain refunds from the IRS (see Note 13 to the audited consolidated financial statements -- "Income Taxes"). Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments that are difficult to predict accurately and are subject to many factors that can materially affect results. Budgeting and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause the Company to alter its budgets which may in turn affect the Company's results. In light of the factors that can materially affect the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved. CONCENTRATION OF RISK The Company currently has contracts with Humana, Inc. ("Humana") to provide behavioral healthcare services under commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare plans, to contracted members in Florida. These combined contracts represent approximately 33.8% and 17.4% of the Company's operating revenue from continuing operations for Fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. As of June 2000, the Company provides services to approximately 160,000 Humana members in Florida. Effective June 30, 2000, Humana completed the sale of its North Florida Medicaid business to HealthEase of Florida, Inc. Effective July 1, 2000, the Company has contracted with HealthEase of Florida, Inc. to continue to provide behavioral healthcare services to approximately 100,000 of 160,000 Florida members that were managed by the Company under contracts with Humana. Additionally, Humana's contracts with the Company, which cover specific commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare populations of approximately 60,000 members will terminate September 30, 2000. UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY As of May 31, 2000, the Company had stockholders' deficit of $10.7 million and a working capital deficiency of approximately $12.2 million. The Company had a loss from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, of $5.8 million. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve and sustain profitability or that the Company can achieve and maintain positive cash flow on an ongoing basis. Present results of operations are not necessarily indicative of anticipated future results of operations. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS; UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE FUNDING During prior fiscal years, a principal source of liquidity has been the private sale of equity securities and debt securities convertible into equity. Issuance of additional equity securities by the Company could result in substantial dilution to stockholders. The Company may be required to repay a portion of the tax refunds received from the Internal Revenue Service for Fiscal 1996 and 1995, which amounted to $9.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively (see "Taxes" below and Note 13 to the audited, consolidated financial statements - "Income Taxes"). Further, the Company may be required to repay some amount to Medi-Cal in connection with the judgment entered on February 26, 1999, which is more fully described under Item 3, Legal Proceedings, above. TAXES In connection with the filing of its Federal income tax returns for fiscal years 1995 and 1996, the Company filed a tentative refund claim to carry back losses described in Section 172(f) of the IRC, requesting a refund to the Company of $9.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, of which refunds of $9.4 million and $5.4 million were received. In addition, the Company also filed 16 17 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES amended Federal income tax returns for fiscal years prior to 1995, requesting similar refunds of losses carried back under Section 172(f) of $6.2 million for 1986; $0.4 million for 1985; $0.7 million for 1983; and $0.4 million for 1982, a total of $7.7 million. During fiscal years 1997 and 1996, the Company recognized a portion of the refunds received as a tax benefit of $0.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The balance of the refunds received, $12.1 million, are recorded as a deferred liability, "Unbenefitted tax refunds received" pending resolution by the IRS of the appropriateness of the Section 172(f) carryback. The additional refunds requested under Section 172(f) for prior years of $7.7 million have not been received, nor has the Company recognized any tax benefit related to these potential refunds. Section 172(f) of the IRC provides for a ten-year net operating loss carryback for specific losses attributable to (1) a product liability or (2) a liability arising under a federal or state law or out of any tort if the act giving rise to such liability occurs at least three years before the beginning of the taxable year. The applicability of Section 172(f) to the type of business in which the Company operates is unclear. No assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to retain the refunds received to date or that the other refunds requested will be received. As a result of the Section 172(f) carryback claims filed by the Company, and the tentative refunds received, the Company came under audit with respect to the tax years previously mentioned. On August 21, 1998, the Company received an examination report, dated August 6, 1998, from the IRS advising the Company that it was disallowing $12.4 million of the $14.8 million of refunds previously received, and the additional refunds requested of $7.7 million. If the position of the IRS were to be upheld, the Company would be required to repay $12.4 million in refunds previously received, plus accrued interest of approximately $5.2 million through May 31, 2000. Accordingly, the Company would be entitled to a repayment of the fees advanced to its tax advisor relating to these refund claims of approximately $2.5 million, which is reported as "other receivable" in the accompanying balance sheet. This report commenced the administrative appeals process. The Company filed a protest letter with the IRS on November 6, 1998. The Company's tax advisor relating to these refund claims has advised management that the administrative appeals process could take twelve to eighteen months. In the event the Company wishes to further protest the results of its administrative appeal, it may further appeal to the United States Tax Court following the final determination of the administrative appeal. The Company has been advised that a determination by the United States Tax Court could take up to an additional twelve months from commencement of the appeals process in the United States Tax Court. Additionally, the IRS reserves the right to assess and collect the tax previously refunded to the Company at any time during the appeals process. Effective July 11, 2000, the Company submitted an Offer in Compromise ("Offer") to the Appeals Office of the IRS to resolve the controversy with respect to the refunds at a substantially reduced amount. There can be no assurance that the IRS will accept the Offer. UNCERTAINTY OF PRICING; HEALTHCARE REFORM AND RELATED MATTERS Managed care operations are at risk for costs incurred to supply agreed upon levels of service. Failure to anticipate or control costs could have material, adverse effects on the Company. Additionally, the business of providing services on a full-risk capitation basis exposes the Company to the additional risk that contracts negotiated and entered into may ultimately be determined to be unprofitable if utilization levels require the Company to deliver and provide services at capitation rates which do not account for or factor in such utilization levels. The levels of revenues and profitability of healthcare companies may be affected by the continuing efforts of governmental and third party payors to contain or reduce the costs of healthcare through various means. In the United States, there have been, and the Company expects that there will continue to be, a number of federal and state proposals to implement governmental controls on the price of healthcare. It is uncertain what legislative proposals will be adopted or what actions federal, state or private payors for healthcare goods and services may take in response to any healthcare reform proposals or legislation. The Company cannot predict the effect healthcare reforms may have on its business and no assurance can be given that any such reforms will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL The Company depends and will continue to depend upon the services of its senior management and skilled personnel. 17 18 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE The Company has issued or committed to issue 9,000 shares related to the 7 1/2% convertible subordinated debentures due April 15, 2010, and options or other rights to purchase approximately 1,120,000 shares. The Company may contemplate issuing additional amounts of debt, equity or convertible securities in public or private transactions for use in fulfilling its future capital needs (see "Need for Additional Funds; Uncertainty of Future Funding"). Issuance of additional equity could adversely affect the trading price of the Company's Common Stock. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for 60,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock, the rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of which may be fixed by the Board of Directors without any vote or action by the stockholders that could have the effect of diluting the Common Stock or reducing working capital that would otherwise be available to the Company. As of May 31, 2000, there are no outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (see Note 17 to the audited consolidated financial statements -- "Preferred Stock, Common Stock, and Stock Option Plans"). The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides for a classified board of directors with directors divided into three classes serving staggered terms. The Company's stock option plans generally provide for the acceleration of vesting of options granted under such plans in the event of certain transactions which result in a change of control of the Company. Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware prohibits the Company from engaging in certain business combinations with interested stockholders. In addition, each share of the Company's Common Stock includes one right on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Rights Agreement between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. These provisions may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without action by the stockholders and therefore could adversely affect the price of the Company's Common Stock or the possibility of sale of shares to an acquiring person. LIMITATIONS ON THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF COMPENSATION UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES Pursuant to the 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, a portion of annual compensation payable after 1993 to any of the Company's five highest paid executive officers would not be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes to the extent such officers' overall compensation exceeds $1.0 million per executive officer. Qualifying performance-based incentive compensation, however, would be both deductible and excluded for purposes of calculating the $1.0 million base. The Board of Directors has determined that no portion of anticipated compensation payable to any executive officer in 2000 would be non-deductible. 18 19 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 8.

19 20 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Board of Directors and Stockholders Comprehensive Care Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Comprehensive Care Corporation and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Comprehensive Care Corporation and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 3, the Company's working capital deficiency and stockholders' deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters are also described in Notes 3 and 13. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Richard A.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended May 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 3, the Company's net working capital deficiency and stockholders' deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters are also described in Note 3. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As more fully described in Note 10, the Company changed its method of estimating its claim liability in 1998, which has been accounted for as a change in accounting principle inseparable from a change in estimate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP --------------------- Ernst & Young LLP Tampa, Florida August 26, 1998 21 22 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

See accompanying notes 25 26 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 NOTE 1 -- DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS Comprehensive Care Corporation (the "Company") is a Delaware Corporation organized in 1969. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the "Company" include Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. ("CompCare" or "CBC") and subsidiary corporations. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CompCare, primarily provides managed care services in the behavioral health and psychiatric fields. The managed care operations include administrative service agreements, fee-for-service agreements, and capitation contracts. The customer base for its services includes both corporate and governmental entities. The Company's services are provided by employees or by unrelated vendors on a subcontract or subcapitated basis. NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Comprehensive Care Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations of the hospital business segment, which was disposed of during Fiscal 1999, are shown in discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations. RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts for 1999 and 1998 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported results of operations or stockholders' deficit. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's managed care activities are performed under the terms of agreements with HMOs, PPOs and other payors to provide contracted medical services to subscribing participants. Under these agreements, revenue arises from agreements to provide contracted services to qualified beneficiaries and is earned monthly based on the number of qualified participants regardless of services actually provided (generally referred to as capitation arrangements). The Company's revenues from providing other behavioral healthcare services are earned on a fee-for-service basis and are recognized as services are rendered. HEALTHCARE EXPENSE RECOGNITION The Company attempts to control its costs and risk by entering into contractual relationships with healthcare providers including hospitals, physician groups and other managed care organizations either on a sub-capitated, a discounted fee-for-services, or a per-case basis. The Company's capitation contracts typically exclude risk for chronic care patients. The cost of healthcare services is recognized in the period that the Company is obligated to provide such services. Certain contracted healthcare providers assume the financial risk for participant care rendered by them and they are compensated on a sub-capitated basis. In cases where the Company retains the financial responsibility for authorizations, hospital utilization, and the cost of other behavioral healthcare services, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated claims payable (see Note 10 -- "Accrued Claims Payable"). PREMIUM DEFICIENCIES Estimated future healthcare costs and expenses in excess of estimated future premiums are recorded as a loss when determinable. No such deficiencies existed at May 31, 2000 or May 31, 1999. 26 27 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. These investments aggregated $1.8 million and $7.7 million at May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These investments are included in cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. RESTRICTED CASH Restricted accounts classified as current assets are required under capitated contracts, primarily the Puerto Rico contract that expired March 31, 1999 (see Note 18 -- "Commitments and Contingencies", Item 4). Non-current restricted accounts include $0.3 million of cash held in trust in connection with the Company's Directors and Officers liability insurance policy. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 12 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the related lease. GOODWILL Goodwill includes costs in excess of the fair value of net assets of businesses purchased. Costs in excess of net assets purchased are amortized on a straight-line basis up to 21 years. The Company evaluates the recoverability and the amortization period of goodwill by determining whether the amount of goodwill recorded can be recovered through undiscounted cash flows of the business acquired excluding interest expense and amortization over the remaining amortization period. The Company believes that the remaining $1.0 million of net recorded goodwill at May 31, 2000 is recoverable from future estimated undiscounted cash flows. The amounts of goodwill reported in the consolidated balance sheets are net of accumulated amortization of $422,000 and $351,000 at May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. ACCRUED CLAIMS PAYABLE The accrued claims payable liability represents the estimated ultimate net amounts owed for all behavioral healthcare services provided through the respective balance sheet dates. The unpaid claims liability is estimated using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and other statistical analyses. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in utilization and other factors. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes that the unpaid claims liability is adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as experience develops or new information becomes known with adjustments included in current operations. INCOME TAXES The Company calculates deferred taxes and related income tax expense using the liability method. This method determines deferred taxes by applying the current tax rate to the cumulative temporary differences between the recorded carrying amounts and the corresponding tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets unless their realization is considered more likely than not. The Company's provision for income taxes is the sum of the change in the balance of deferred taxes between the beginning and the end of the period and income taxes currently payable or receivable. STOCK OPTIONS The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No.123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" (SFAS 123) requires the use of option 27 28 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, in the event that the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options is less than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, compensation expense is recognized. Compensation expense recognized in 1998 included $83,000 for taxes paid on behalf of employees in connection with stock options exercised. In Fiscal 2000, the Company recognized deferred compensation totaling $18,000 in relation to options that were issued to non-employee consultants during Fiscal 2000. Such amount, which is based on the fair value of the options granted in accordance with SFAS 123, is being amortized to expense over the two-year vesting period of the options. Amortization for Fiscal 2000 amounted to $8,000. EARNINGS PER SHARE In calculating basic earnings (loss) per share, net income (loss) adjusted for dividends on preferred stock, is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities, such as options and convertible preferred stock. No such exercise or conversion is assumed where the effect is antidilutive, such as when there is a loss from continuing operations. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FASB Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments whether or not recognized in the balance sheet for which it is practical to estimate that value. For cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, and restricted cash, the carrying amount approximates fair value. For long-term debt, the fair value is based on the estimated market price for the Debentures on the last day of the fiscal year. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments at May 31, 2000, and 1999, are as follows:
2000 1999 ----------------- ------------------ CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE ------ ----- ------ ----- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS) ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents............................ $ 2,518 $ 2,518 $ 7,776 $ 7,776 Notes receivable..................................... 1,172 1,172 1,198 1,198 Restricted cash...................................... 1,930 1,930 2,173 2,173 LIABILITIES Long-term debt....................................... $ 2,244 $ 978 $ 2,244 $ 1,346
SEGMENT INFORMATION During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131). SFAS 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available, that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated the effects of this pronouncement and determined that its only operating segment relating to continuing operations is its managed care business. NOTE 3 -- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the years ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred losses from continuing operations of $5.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively. As of May 31, 2000, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $12.2 million and a stockholders' deficit of approximately $10.7 million. In addition, for the years ended May 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, continuing operations used cash of approximately $5.3 million, $1.4 million, and $1.6 million, respectively. Further, a contract that generated approximately 44% of 28 29 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 operating revenues from continuing operations during Fiscal 1999 expired in March 1999 and was not renewed (see Note 4 -- "Major Contracts/Customers"). The working capital deficiency referred to above results primarily from a $12.1 million liability related to Federal income tax refunds received in prior years. The ultimate outcome of the Internal Revenue Service audit whereby it is seeking recovery of the refunds from the Company, including the amount to be repaid, if any, and the timing thereof, is not determinable (see Note 13 -"Income Taxes"). The Company cannot state with any degree of certainty whether any required additional equity or debt financing to meet its obligations will be available to it during Fiscal 2001 and, if available, that the source of financing would be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company. The above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. During Fiscal 2000, management has taken steps to trim costs and save cash, including making significant staff reductions, centralizing certain contract management and clinical functions, and eliminating the Company's California administrative office and related executive staff positions. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required and, ultimately, to attain profitability. NOTE 4 -- MAJOR CONTRACTS/CUSTOMERS (1) During Fiscal 1999, the Company provided services to members of Humana Health Plans of Puerto Rico, Inc. ["Humana of Puerto Rico" (successor in interest to PCA Health Plans of Puerto Rico, Inc.)] under the terms of management service agreements entered into pursuant to healthcare contracts awarded to Humana of Puerto Rico by the Puerto Rico Insurance Administration. These contracts expired on March 31, 1999, with an extension period that ended April 30, 1999. For the fiscal years ended May 31, 1999 and 1998, these agreements accounted for approximately 44%, or $17.1 million, and 47%, or $18.8 million, of the Company's operating revenues from continuing operations, respectively. Additionally, the contract with Humana established an amount that was withheld from Humana's monthly remittances to the Company to cover pharmacy and laboratory costs that are the financial responsibility of the Company, but were administered by Humana. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the determination of the actual pharmacy and laboratory costs incurred, the Company has reported the contract at a 100% loss ratio for the contract to date pending clarification of the actual costs incurred. As a result, the Company has reported $10.5 million as accounts receivable and accrued claims payable in the accompanying balance sheets at May 31, 2000 and 1999. During Fiscal 1999, Humana sent written notice to the Company that the Company owed $3.0 million to Humana in connection with these pharmacy and laboratory costs. The Company has expressed to Humana its total disagreement with Humana's position. The Company believes that Humana owes the Company in excess of $3.0 million in relation to this same issue. Efforts are being made to work with Humana to resolve the uncertainty. The Company also has contracts with Humana Health Plans ("Humana") under which it provides services to members in Florida. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, such contracts accounted for 33.8%, or $6.0 million, of the Company's operating revenues from continuing operations compared to 17.4%, or $6.8 million, and 18.1%, or $7.2 million, for the fiscal years ended May 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Effective June 30, 2000, Humana, Inc. ("Humana") completed the sale of its North Florida Medicaid business to HealthEase of Florida, Inc. Effective July 1, 2000, the Company has entered into a one-year contract with HealthEase of Florida, Inc. to continue to provide behavioral healthcare services to approximately 100,000 of 160,000 Florida members that were managed by the Company under contracts with Humana as of June 2000. Additionally, Humana's contracts with the Company, which cover specific commercial, Medicaid and Medicare populations of approximately 60,000 members will terminate September 30, 2000. Further, although the Company has received no formal notice from Humana, Humana has verbally alleged that 29 30 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 there is a payment discrepancy and that payment for at least a portion of the July and August capitation amounts is being withheld by Humana until Humana completes an eligibility reconciliation. The Company does not believe that there will be any material adverse impact on the Company's financial position resulting from the alleged discrepancy. (2) The Company has two contracts with one HMO to provide behavioral healthcare services to contracted members in Texas. These combined contracts represented approximately 11.8%, 6.0%, and 1.4% of the Company's operating revenue from continuing operations for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The Company recently renewed these contracts for two years, with effective dates of February 8, 2000. (3) The Company has two contracts with one HMO to provide behavioral healthcare services to contracted members in Texas. These combined contracts represented approximately 6.3%, 3.7%, and 2.1% of the Company's operating revenue from continuing operations for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The Company continues to provide behavioral healthcare services to members covered under these contracts, which were previously reported as expected cancellations. (4) The Company has one contract with one HMO to provide behavioral healthcare services to contracted members in Texas. This contract represented 5.2%, 2.2%, and 0.8% of the Company's operating revenues from continuing operations for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. (5) During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, the Company had one contract with one HMO to provide behavioral healthcare services to contracted members in Indiana. This contract, which represented approximately 6.4%, 4.5%, and 3.6% of operating revenue from continuing operations for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, was terminated effective December 31, 1999. (6) During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, the Company had contracts with one HMO to provide behavioral healthcare services to contracted members in Texas. These contracts represented approximately 5.3%, 1.9%, and 0.5% of operating revenue from continuing operations for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. These contracts were not renewed by the HMO and, as a result, terminated December 31, 1999. 30 31 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 NOTE 5 -- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable consist of the following:

NOTE 6 -- OTHER RECEIVABLE Other receivable at May 31, 2000 and 1999 represents $2.5 million paid to a vendor to prepare a federal income tax refund that is more fully described in Note 13. The costs incurred will be refunded to the Company should the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") disallow the refund and require its repayment. To the extent that all or some portion of the refund is allowed by the IRS, a portion of the fees paid will be recognized as expense in proportion to the amount of refund allowed.

NOTE 10 -- ACCRUED CLAIMS PAYABLE During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended May 31, 1998, the Company changed its methodology for estimating accrued claims payable. Prior to Fiscal 1998, the Company based its estimates on open authorizations. The revised method uses a traditional actuarial completion factor methodology. This change in methodology, which is inseparable from a change in estimate, provides a better estimate of the ultimate liability that will be incurred. As a result of the change, the Company reduced the accrued claims payable by $1.3 million which increased basic and diluted earnings per common share applicable to continuing operations and net income for Fiscal 1998 by $.38 and $.34, respectively. Accrued claims payable consist of the following:
MAY 31, ------------------------ 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- (Amounts in Thousands) Actuarially estimated claims payable.................................. $ 2,809 $ 4,093 Subcapitation payable................................................. 205 276 ------- -------- Total accrued claims payable.......................................... $ 3,014 $ 4,369 ======= ========
The Company recognized approximately $1.0 million, $1.6 million, and $2.6 million in subcapitation expense for the years ended May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company would remain liable to perform the services covered under the subcapitation agreements if the parties with which the Company subcapitates were unable to fulfill their responsibilities under the subcapitation agreement. NOTE 11 - RESTRUCTURING During Fiscal 2000, following the termination of two major contracts on December 31, 1999, the Company underwent a restructuring that included the closing of the Company's California administrative office, terminating related executive and staff positions, and centralizing certain contract management and 32 33 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 clinical functions. The Company incurred restructuring charges of $881,000 in connection therewith, including a separation payment of $760,000 to the Company's former Chairman and CEO. Rentals under the lease for the California office were assumed by an entity affiliated with the Company's former Chairman and CEO. In addition, during Fiscal 1999, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $600,000 related to the loss of a major contract in Puerto Rico. Following is an analysis of the restructuring charges together with related payments reflected in a reserve for restructuring charges:

NOTE 12 -- LONG-TERM DEBT AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Long-term debt consists of the following:
MAY 31, -------------------------- 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- (Amounts in Thousands) 7 1/2% convertible subordinated debentures due April, 2010, interest payable semi-annually in April and October .......................... $ 2,244 $ 2,244 Other long-term debt ................................................... -- 12 ------- ------- Total long-term debt ................................................... 2,244 2,256 Less current maturities of long-term debt .............................. -- (3) ------- ------- Long-term debt, excluding current maturities ........................... $ 2,244 $ 2,253 ======= =======
As of May 31, 2000, the Company has no annual maturities of long-term debt until 2010. On July 24, 1998, the Company completed a debenture exchange offer with its debentureholders. An aggregate of $0.4 million of principal amount of Debentures, representing approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding 33 34 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 Debentures, were tendered for exchange to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer and a total of 33,185 shares of Common Stock were issued by the Company. The resulting gain on the Debenture Exchange of $0.1 million after related costs and expenses was recorded as an extraordinary gain in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 1999. NOTE 13 -- INCOME TAXES Provision for income taxes consists of the following:

34 35 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 At May 31, 2000, the Company had Federal accumulated net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $40 million, which expires in 2010 through 2020. In addition, the Company has a minimum tax credit carryover of approximately $0.7 million against regular tax in the event that regular tax expense exceeds the alternative minimum tax expense. The Company may be unable to utilize some or all of its allowable tax deductions or losses, which depends upon factors including the availability of sufficient taxable income from which to deduct such losses during limited carryover periods. Further, the Company's ability to use any net operating losses may be subject to limitation in the event that the Company issues or agrees to issue substantial amounts of additional equity. The Company monitors the potential for "change of ownership" and believes that its financing plans as contemplated will not cause a "change of ownership"; however, no assurances can be made that future events will not act to limit the Company's tax benefits. SFAS 109 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a valuation allowance at May 31, 2000, and 1999, was necessary to offset the deferred tax assets based on the likelihood of future realization. UNBENEFITTED TAX REFUNDS RECEIVED In connection with the filing of its Federal income tax returns for fiscal year 1995 and 1996, the Company filed a tentative refund claim to carry back losses described in Section 172(f) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), requesting a refund of $9.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, of which refunds of $9.4 million and $5.4 million were received. In addition, the Company also filed amended Federal income tax returns for fiscal years prior to 1995, requesting similar refunds for losses carried back under Section 172(f) of $6.2 million for 1986; $0.4 million for 1985; $0.7 million for 1983; and $0.4 million for 1982, a total of $7.7 million. Section 172(f) of the IRC provides for a ten year net operating loss carryback for specific losses attributable to (1) a product liability or (2) a liability arising under a federal or state law or out of any tort if the act giving rise to such liability occurs at least three years before the beginning of the taxable year. The applicability of Section 172(f) to the type of business in which the Company operates is unclear. No assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to retain the refunds received to date or that the other refunds requested will be received. During fiscal years 1997 and 1996, the Company recognized a portion of the refunds received as a tax benefit of $0.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The balance of the refunds received, $12.1 million, is recorded as a deferred liability, "Unbenefitted tax refunds received", pending resolution by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") of the appropriateness of the 172(f) carryback. The other refunds requested under Section 172(f) for prior years of $7.7 million have not been received nor has the Company recognized any tax benefit related to these potential refunds. On August 21, 1998, the Company received an examination report, dated August 6, 1998, from the IRS advising the Company that it was disallowing $12.4 million of the $14.8 million of refunds previously received, and the additional refunds requested of $7.7 million. If the position of the IRS were to be upheld the Company would be required to repay $12.4 million in refunds previously received, plus accrued interest of approximately $5.2 million through May 31, 2000. Accordingly, the Company would be entitled to a repayment of the fees advanced to its tax advisor relating to these refunds of approximately $2.5 million, which is reported as "other receivable" in the accompanying balance sheets. This report commenced the administrative appeals process. The Company filed a protest letter with the IRS on November 6, 1998 and believes that its position with respect to its right to the tax refunds will be upheld. The Company's tax advisor relating to these refund claims has advised management that the administrative appeals process could take twelve to eighteen months. In the event the Company wishes to further protest the results of its administrative appeal, it may further appeal to the United States Tax Court following the final determination of the administrative appeal. The Company has been advised that a determination by the United States Tax Court could take up to an additional twelve months from the commencement of the appeals process in the United States Tax Court. The IRS reserves the right to assess and collect the tax previously refunded to the Company at any time during the appeals process. 35 36 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 Effective July 11, 2000, the Company submitted an Offer in Compromise (the "Offer") to the Appeals Office of the IRS to resolve the controversy with respect to the refunds at a substantially reduced amount. There can be no assurance that the IRS will accept the Offer. If the IRS were to disallow the refunds claimed, or the terms of the Offer in Compromise as presented or modified are not adhered to, the Company will have additional loss carry forwards of approximately $50 million, which will expire if unused by the year 2010. NOTE 14 -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On March 11, 1999, the Company sold its Aurora, Colorado hospital for $3.3 million of cash plus a $1.2 million note receivable, and recognized a loss on sale of $416,000. This sale completed the Company's plan to dispose of its hospital business segment. Financial information relating to the operation of the discontinued hospital business follows:

37 38 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 NOTE 16 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company offers a 401(k) Plan (the "Plan"), which is a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for the benefit of its eligible employees. All full-time and part-time employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed six consecutive months of employment are eligible to participate in the Plan. Effective June 1, 1995, eligibility was modified to six months of employment and a minimum of twenty (20) regularly scheduled hours per week. Each participant may contribute from 2% to 15% of his or her compensation to the Plan subject to limitations on the highly compensated employees to ensure the Plan is non-discriminatory. Company contributions are discretionary and are determined by the Company's Board of Directors or the Plan Committee. The Company's employer matching contributions were $17,000, $22,000, and $31,000 to the Plan in Fiscal 2000, 1999, and 1998 respectively. NOTE 17 -- PREFERRED STOCK, COMMON STOCK, AND STOCK OPTION PLANS PREFERRED STOCK The Company is authorized to issue up to 60,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $50.00 par value, in one or more series, each series to have such designation and number of shares as the Board of Directors may fix prior to the issuance of any shares of such series. Each series may have such preferences and relative participation, optional or special rights with such qualifications, limitations or restrictions stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any such series. The Board of Directors had designated 41,260 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Non-Voting 4% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $50 par value (the "Preferred Stock). On January 17, 1997, the Preferred Stock was issued in exchange for the secured convertible note due January 9, 1997, in the principal amount of $2.0 million and bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum and $63,000 of interest accrued thereon. The Preferred Stock had a cumulative quarterly dividend of 4% per annum which was payable when and as declared by the Board of Directors. However, no dividends were to be paid on the Preferred Stock until the Company had positive stockholder's equity. The Preferred Stock was preferred to the extent of $50 per share plus accrued dividends; was convertible into shares of Common Stock at $6 per share, which was the same price at which the principal of the note was exchangeable; and had no voting privileges. During February 1999, the 41,260 outstanding shares of Preferred Stock were converted into 343,833 shares of Common Stock. COMMON STOCK On April 19, 1988, the Company declared a dividend of one common share purchase right ("Right") for each share of Common Stock outstanding at May 6, 1988. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $300 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The Rights are not exercisable and are transferable only with the Common Stock until the earlier of ten days following a public announcement that a person has acquired ownership of 25% or more of the Company's Common Stock or the commencement or announcement of a tender or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in the ownership by a person of 30% or more of the Company's Common Stock. In the event that a person acquires 25% or more of the Company's Common Stock or if the Company is the surviving corporation in a merger and its Common Stock is not changed or exchanged, each holder of a Right, other than the 25% stockholder (whose Rights will be void), will thereafter have the right to receive on exercise that number of shares of Common Stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. If the Company is acquired in a merger or more than 50% of its assets are sold, proper provision shall be made so that each Right holder shall have the right to receive or exercise, at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of Common Stock of the acquiring company that, at the time of the transaction, would have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. The Rights are redeemable at a price of $.20 per Right at any time prior to ten days after a person has acquired 25% or more of the Company's Common Stock. 38 39 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company has a 1995 Incentive Plan (the "1995 Plan"). The 1995 Plan provides for the granting of options to eligible employees and consultants to the Company. Options granted as incentive stock options, stock rights, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights and restricted stock grants under the 1995 Plan may qualify as Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs") under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code. Options for ISOs may be granted for terms of up to ten years and are generally exercisable in cumulative increments of either 33% each year or 50% each six months. Options for Non-statutory Stock Options ("NSOs") may be granted for terms of up to 13 years. The exercise price for ISOs must equal or exceed the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, and 65% in the case of other options. The 1995 Plan also provides for the full vesting of all outstanding options under certain change of control events. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the 1995 Plan is 1,000,000. As of May 31, 2000, there were 867,175 options outstanding, and of these options, 224,525 options were exercisable under the 1995 Plan. In September 1995, the Board of Directors granted and issued to its former President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), 100,000 Restricted Shares of its Common Stock, $0.01 par value. Such grant of Restricted Shares was issued from the Company's 1995 Incentive Plan and was ratified by the stockholders at the 1995 Annual Meeting. On December 19, 1997, the Company, with the consent of the CEO, terminated a grant of the 50,500 remaining unvested shares of Company common stock originally granted in September 1995. Coincident with this transaction, the Company implemented a new program to grant the CEO 120,000 options of common stock at a price of $6.6875 (fair value on the date of grant). These options are fully vested, non-incentive stock options, exercisable on and after June 17, 1998 and through December 19, 2002, regardless of whether the CEO's employment with the Company continues through that date. In accordance with the terms of the CEO's separation agreement, these options were cancelled effective January 14, 2000. On November 17, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved the re-pricing of stock option grants to employees below the level of Executive Officers, subject to each employee returning his or her old options for cancellation. The cancelled options were replaced by an equivalent number of new options at an exercise price equal to the November 30, 1998 closing price of $3.5625. On December 14, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved the re-pricing of stock option grants for Executive Officers, subject to each Executive Officer returning his or her old options for cancellation. For every two options cancelled under the 1988 Incentive Stock Option and Non-statutory Stock Option Plans, one option was reissued under the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan. For every four options cancelled under the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan, three new options were reissued. All reissued options are subject to the provisions of the 1995 Plan, including vesting in accordance with the Company's vesting policy. The exercise price of the reissued options equals the December 14, 1998 closing price of $4.00. The Company has a non-qualified stock option plan for its outside directors (the "Directors' Plan"). Each non-qualified stock option is exercisable at a price equal to the Common Stock's fair market value as of the date of grant. Initial grants vest annually in 25% increments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided the individual is still a director on those dates. Annual grants will become 100% vested as of the first annual meeting of the Company's stockholders following the date of grant, provided the individual is still a director as of that date. An optionee who ceases to be a director shall forfeit that portion of the option attributable to such vesting dates on or after the date he or she ceases to be a director. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the Directors' Plan is 250,000. As of May 31, 2000, the Company had no outside directors and there were no options outstanding to former directors. The Company also has a 1988 ISO Plan and a 1988 NSO Plan. Effective February 3, 1998, the 1988 Plans expired and no new grants will be issued. As of May 31, 2000, there were 17,500 options outstanding and exercisable under the 1988 Plans. 39 40 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 Adjusted pro forma information regarding net income or loss and earnings or loss per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of these options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
YEAR ENDED MAY 31, -------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ----------- ------------ ----------- Volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's Common Stock............................. 65.0% 63.0% 52.6% Expected life (in years) of the options............... 6, 5, and 4 5 and 4 6, 5, and 4 Risk-free interest rate............................... 6.5% 5.5% 5.5% Dividend yield........................................ 0% 0% 0%
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair market value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected 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 market value estimate, it is management's opinion that the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. Pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123 include the effects of all stock option awards that were granted by the Company from June 1, 1995 through May 31, 2000. During the phase-in period, the effects of applying this statement for generating pro forma disclosures are not likely to be representative of the effects on pro forma net income (loss) for future years. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information is as follows (in thousands except for earnings (loss) per share information):
YEAR ENDED MAY 31, ----------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 -------------- --------------- -------------- Pro forma net income (loss) attributed to common stockholders........ $(6,461) $ (4,773) $ 1,212 Pro forma net earnings (loss) per common share: Basic............................................................. $ (1.69) $ (1.34) $ 0.36 Diluted........................................................... $ (1.69) $ (1.34) $ 0.36

NOTE 18 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company leases certain facilities, furniture and equipment. The facility leases contain escalation clauses based on the Consumer Price Index and provisions for payment of real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repair expenses. Total rental expense for all operating leases applicable to continuing operations was $0.8 million, $1.3 million, and $1.0 million for fiscal years 2000, 1999, and 1998 respectively. During Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999, the Company received rental income of $84,000 and $106,000, respectively, in connection with the sublease of a portion of its California facilities (which were closed in Fiscal 2000) to entities operated by the Company's former Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). As of February 1, 2000, the Company has no future obligation under the California lease, having completed a transfer of this lease to an entity managed by the Company's former CEO. 41 42 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 Future minimum payments, by year and in the aggregate, under non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more, consist of the following at May 31, 2000: FISCAL YEAR OPERATING LEASES ----------- ---------------------- (Amounts in thousands) 2001........................................ $ 432 2002........................................ 51 2003........................................ 12 2004........................................ 1 2005........................................ 0 Later Years................................. 0 ----- Total minimum lease payments................ $ 496 ===== OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (1) During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, the Company renewed one contract, which included a requirement that the Company maintains a $550,000 performance bond throughout the two-year renewal term of the contract. This bond was secured by a $150,000 cash deposit, which is included in the non-current, restricted cash balance at May 31, 2000. The term of the bond is for one year and the bond is automatically renewable as long as the contract remains in force. (2) In June 2000, the Company submitted a bid to provide substance abuse treatment services to a specific population covered through the Department of Justice in Puerto Rico. The bid included a $300,000 bid bond requirement, which is to be maintained until the bid has been awarded. The Company secured this bond with a $300,000 cash deposit made on June 6, 2000. (3) In July 2000, Steiner Corporation, a Colorado linen service company, commenced an action against the Company seeking damages in the amount of, approximately, $145,000 by reason of an alleged early termination of a laundry service contract. While this claim has only recently been asserted, the Company intends to deny liability. Additionally, the Company does not believe that this claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. (4) A collection proceeding has been filed against the Company in connection with the previously active managed care operation in Puerto Rico. This collection effort was filed by a Puerto Rico provider, Hato Rey Psychiatric Hospital d/b/a Mepsi Center ("MEPSI"). MEPSI claims that the Company owes MEPSI a total of $681,000, plus interest and legal fees, for services rendered to patients managed by the Company under the prior Puerto Rico Reforma Program contract, which was held by Humana, Inc. The Company is conducting an audit to determine the final amount, if any, it believes is owed to MEPSI. Such payment would be applied against the Company's existing reserve for Puerto Rico claims and disbursed from the provider funds that are held in escrow (see Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", "Restricted Cash"). The Company does not believe that this claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. (5) The Company's subsidiary, Careunit Hospital of Ohio, Inc. ("Careunit") has been named as a third party defendant in the principal action entitled "Vencor, Inc. v. Empe, Inc." The principal action arises out of the sale by Careunit of its Ohio hospital facility to Vencor, Inc. ("Vencor") and relates to an alleged asbestos condition at the Ohio facility. Empe, Inc. ("Empe") apparently was Vencor's environmental expert in connection with this transaction. In making Careunit a third party defendant, Empe claims that it was misled and that Careunit allegedly failed to disclose the asbestos condition in the facility when Vencor conducted its environmental assessment. No specific amount of damages is claimed, but rather, the third party complaint seeks apportionment, indemnity and compensatory damages as may be determined at trial. The Company's insurance carrier has provided a defense of this action, which is only in its formative stages. The Company does not believe that this claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 42 43 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (6) On February 19, 1999, the California Superior Court denied the Company's Petition for Writ of Mandate of an adverse administrative appeal decision regarding application of the Maximum Inpatient Reimbursement Limitation ("MIRL") to Medi-Cal reimbursement paid to Brea Neuropsychiatric Hospital for its fiscal periods 1983 through 1986. This facility was owned by the Company until its disposal in fiscal year 1991. The subject matter of the Superior Court action involved the refusal of the administrative law judge to order further reductions in the liability for costs associated with treating high cost, long stay Medi-Cal patients, which are commonly referred to as "outliers". The Company does not plan to appeal the California Superior Court decision for which the Notice of Entry of Judgment was entered on February 26, 1999. As of May 31, 2000, the Company has $1.2 million accrued relating to this matter. (7) With respect to the contingency related to prior years' income taxes, see Note 13, "Income Taxes". (8) With respect to the contingency related to the Humana claim, see Note 4, "Major Contracts/Customers". (9) The legal matter involving the Company's former Chief Financial Officer was fully settled effective May 31, 2000. (10) The legal matter involving PMR Corporation was fully settled effective May 5, 2000. From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are also parties and their property is subject to ordinary, routine litigation incidental to their business. In some pending cases, claims may exceed insurance policy limits and the Company or any one of its subsidiaries may have exposure to a liability that is not covered by insurance. Management believes that the outcome of such lawsuits will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial statements. REGULATORY MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE The Company is subject to extensive and evolving state and federal regulations, including licensure and compliance with regulations related to healthcare providers, insurance companies, and other risk assuming entities. These laws and regulations may vary considerably among states and, as a result, the Company may be subject to the specific regulatory approach adopted by each state for the regulation of managed care companies and for providers of behavioral healthcare treatment services. Currently, management cannot quantify the potential effects of additional regulation of the managed care industry, but such costs could have an adverse effect on future operations to the extent that they are not able to be recouped in future managed care contracts. Management believes that the Company is currently in material compliance with the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates. NOTE 19 -- FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS FOR FISCAL 2000 AND 1999 - UNAUDITED The loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2000 was $0.7 million, or $0.18 loss per share, compared to the loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million, or $0.66 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended May 31, 1999. Included in the fourth quarter results from Fiscal 1999 was a non-recurring restructuring charge totaling $0.6 million, related to the loss of the Company's Puerto Rico contract, $0.5 million of bad debt expense, and $0.5 million of operating expense incurred after the termination dates specific to the two major contracts that ended during the fourth quarter. The remaining loss was primarily attributable to the loss of revenue following the termination of the Puerto Rico contract. 43 44 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART III ITEM 9.
