PART I ITEM

Item 1. BUSINESS.BUSINESS

Organizational History

     Comprehensive Care Corporation (the "Company"® (referred to herein as the “Company”, “CompCare"®(1), “we”, “our” or “us”) is a Delaware corporationCorporation organized in January 1969. TheUnless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company is transitioning from predominantly ainclude the Company’s principal operating subsidiary, Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc.SM(2) (“CBC”) and subsidiary corporations.

     CompCare, through its operating subsidiaries, manages the delivery of psychiatric and substance abuse services to commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid members on behalf of employers, health plans, including health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”) and preferred provider organizations (“PPOs”), government organizations, third-party claims administrators, and commercial and other group purchasers of treatment programs for psychiatric disorders and chemical dependency (including alcohol and drug) to a managed care behavioral health care company providing a continuum ofhealthcare services. SuchCurrent services include risk based contract capitation of behavioral health expenses for specific populations and a broad spectrum of inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance abuse therapy, counseling, and counseling.supportive interventions.

Recent Developments

During June 2003, we implemented one new client contract to provide behavioral healthcare benefits to approximately 97,000 members in Michigan. We estimate that annual revenues from this contract will be $1.5 million.
The State of Texas has passed legislation that will reduce the amount of funds allocated to our clients to cover behavioral healthcare services to Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) recipients in the State of Texas. Such legislation is subject to pending bills that, if passed, could restore some of the benefits to these programs. Under the recently passed legislation, the outpatient behavioral healthcare benefits available to adult Medicaid and CHIP recipients will be provided by the HMOs and their subcontractors, including the Company, on a very limited basis while the inpatient benefits for CHIP recipients may not be covered by the HMOs and their subcontractors. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, we had operating revenue of $3.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, specific to contracts covering Texas CHIP and Texas Medicaid recipients. These changes to Texas Medicaid and CHIP programs could have a material, adverse impact on our operations. However, we believe certain of our clients will continue to require the types of services we provide to mitigate their exposure to treat serious medical conditions that may result from the lack of adequate behavioral healthcare benefits. We are closely monitoring developments in Texas, but currently cannot predict what financial impact, if any, these changes may have on our business.

Business General

     The services we provide are delivered through management service agreements (“MSOs”), administrative service agreements (“ASOs”), and capitated contracts. MSOs and ASOs are contractual obligations under which the Company does not assume any financial risk or responsibility for the member’s behavioral health care costs. We may provide various managed care functions under MSO and ASO arrangements, including clinical care management, provider network development, customer service, claims processing, and information systems reporting. The scope of services under MSO arrangements is slightly narrower in comparison to those services we perform under ASO arrangements. Under capitated contracts, the primary payer of healthcare services prepays us a fixed, per member per month (“PMPM”) fee for covered psychiatric and substance abuse services regardless of actual member utilization and the Company assumes the financial risk for the member’s health care costs. Programs are contracted through inpatient facilities as well as through experienced outpatient practitioners.

     We currently manage programs through which services are provided to recipients in fourteen states. Current programs and services 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, behavioral corrections programs, preferred provider network development, management and physician advisor reviews and overall care management services. We also provide prior and concurrent authorization for physician-prescribed psychotropic medications for a major Medicaid HMO in

Michigan under that state’s mandated pharmacy management program. Members are generally directed to CompCare by their employer, health plan, or physician and receive an initial authorization for an assessment. Based upon the initial assessment, a treatment plan is established for the member. Fully integrated capitated lives (i.e. where the company has contractual, financial risk) totaled approximately 789,000 and 805,000 at freestanding facilities operated byMay 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. ASO lives were approximately 337,000 and 375,000 at May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. EAP lives were approximately 2,000 at May 31, 2003 and 2002.

     Our objective is to provide easily accessible, high quality behavioral healthcare services and products and to manage 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

     We provide managed behavioral healthcare and substance abuse services to recipients, primarily through subcontracts with HMOs who have historically carved out these functions to managed behavioral healthcare organizations (“MBHOs”) like CompCare. We generally receive a negotiated amount on a per member per month (“PMPM”) or capitated basis in exchange for providing these services. We then contract directly with behavioral healthcare providers who receive a pre-determined, fee-for-service rate or case rate. Behavioral healthcare providers include psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, therapists, other licensed healthcare professionals, and hospitals. As of May 31, 2003, we have approximately 12,000 behavioral healthcare practitioners in our network who are primarily located in the five states in which the Company has its principal contracts. Under such full-risk capitation arrangements, profit is a function of utilization and at independent general hospitalsthe amount of claims payments made to our network providers. Alternatively, we may subcontract with a provider company on a sub-capitated basis. In cases where we have made sub-capitation arrangements, the outside company manages service delivery through CompCare’s approved and credentialed network that is guided by stringent quality standards.

     During Fiscal 2003, we provided services under capitated arrangements for commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program patients in Florida and Texas, commercial and Medicaid patients in Michigan, Medicaid patients in Connecticut, and commercial patients in Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.

     In Fiscal 2003, our new business included two commercial contracts in Indiana, two new Medicaid contracts in Michigan, one new Medicare contract in Texas, and contracts with one new client in Florida that cover individuals under both commercial and Medicaid plans. Additionally, we added one new EAP client with membership in eight states. We perform periodic reviews of our current client contracts to determine profitability. In the Company. A wholly-owned subsidiary, CareUnit, Inc., develops, markets and managesevent a contract is not profitable, we may seek to revise the Company's contract programs. During fiscal 1994, psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment programs accounted for approximately 86%terms of the Company's operating revenues. AccessCare, Inc. ("AccessCare") a wholly-owned subsidiary primarily engaged incontract or to terminate the development and delivery of managed care services for behavioral medicine, accounted for approximately 10% of the Company's operating revenues. The remaining 4% of fiscal 1994 revenues were derived from other activities. The following table sets forth for each of the years in the five-year period ended May 31, 1994, the contribution to operating revenues of the Company's freestanding operations, CareUnit, Inc. contracts, AccessCare operations, RehabCare programs, and other activities.

________________________________ (1) The Company formerly owned a company known as RehabCare Corporation ("RehabCare"), which developed, marketed and managed the delivery of comprehensive medical rehabilitation services for functionally disabled persons. The Company offered RehabCare common stock to the public in fiscal 1992, maintaining a minority interest, and during fiscal 1993, sold its remaining 48% stake in RehabCare. Accordingly, revenues from RehabCare were not material to the Company during fiscal 1993. 2 3 FREESTANDING OPERATIONS The Company currently operates six owned or leased facilities representing 347 available beds.

This agreement was mutually dissolved on February 28, 1993. (13) Includes Brea Hospital Neuropsychiatric Center, CareUnit Hospital of Orange, CareUnit Hospital of St. Louis, CareUnit of DuPage, Sutter Center for Psychiatry and Golden Valley Health Center. These facilities were closed or sold in fiscal 1989 through 1991. (14) A facility may have appropriate licensure for more beds than are in use for a number of reasons, including lack of demand, anticipation of future need, renovation and practical limitations in assigning patients to multiple-bed rooms. Available beds is defined as the number of beds which are available for use at any given time. 3 4 (15) Average occupancy rate is calculated by dividing total patient days by the average number of available bed-days during the relevant period. FREESTANDING FACILITY PROGRAMS The services offered at a freestanding facility are determined by the licensure of the facility, the needs of the patient community and reimbursement considerations including working relationships with managed care companies. A program within the facility represents a separately staffed unit dedicated to the treatment of patients whose primary diagnosis suggests that their treatment needs will best be met within the unit. Patients whose diagnosis suggests the need for supplemental services are accommodated throughout their stay as dictated by the individual treatment plan developed for each patient. Psychiatric. Psychiatric programs are offered in most of the Company's freestanding facilities. Admission to the programs offered by the Company is typically voluntary although certain facilities provide emergency psychiatric services and accept involuntary patients who are suffering an acute episodic psychiatric incident. Each patient admitted to a psychiatric program undergoes a complete assessment including an initial evaluation by a psychiatrist, a medical history, physical examination, a laboratory work-up, a nursing assessment, a psychological evaluation, and social and family assessments. The assessments are utilized to develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient. The treatment programs are undertaken by an interdisciplinary team of professionals experienced in the treatment of psychiatric problems. Length of stay varies in accordance with the severityspecific contract terms.

Growth Strategy

     Our objective is to expand our presence in both existing and new managed behavioral healthcare markets by obtaining new contracts with health plans, corporations, government agencies, and other payers through CompCare’s reputation of providing quality managed behavioral healthcare services with the most cost-effective use of healthcare resources. Our principal means for pursuing public sector business is through the submission of proposals in response to formal, competitive bidding proceedings that are initiated by health plans or government agencies. We intend, where feasible, to expand our commercial business during the upcoming fiscal year through new marketing initiatives directed at employer groups and, also, HMOs that contract directly with employers. Additionally, we continue to develop products that will bring our core competencies to new market areas such as child welfare, behavioral pharmacy management and preferred provider organization product management for health plans and self-insured employers. The success of our growth strategy is dependent upon our ability to competitively bid on new contracts, comply with conditions contained in requests for proposals, obtain required licenses, if any, in new markets, establish provider networks in new markets and negotiate favorable agreements with our providers.

Competition

     The behavioral healthcare industry is very competitive and provides products and services that are price sensitive. We believe that there are approximately 150 managed behavioral healthcare companies providing service

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

for an estimated 227 million covered lives in the United States. Several competitors have revenues, financial resources, and membership substantially larger than ours. We also compete with small local and regional companies at times. Competition is built around pricing, the overall quality of service provided, the extent and quality of the patient's condition. A comprehensive discharge plan which may include outpatient psychiatric or psychological treatment, or referral to an alternate treatment facility is prepared for each patient. Psychiatric programs are also available on an inpatient, day treatmentprovider network, and outpatient basis and form a continuum of care. Chemical Dependency. Chemical dependency programs, offered in all freestanding facilities, are delivered under the names CareUnit(SM), Starting Point and Aurora Behavioral Health and include programs for adults and adolescents. Facilities offer a comprehensive treatment program based on therapy and education. The medically based programs utilize a team approach to treatment, with a supervising physician, psychologists, counselors, therapists and specially trained nurses. This multi-disciplinary team approach means that the medical, emotional, psychological, social and physical needstechnical capacity of the patient are all addressed in treatment. Facilities offer levels of care that can form a continuum, including detoxification, inpatient, residential, day treatmentbehavioral healthcare organization.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Regulatory Monitoring and outpatient programs which meetCompliance

     CompCare is subject to extensive and evolving state and federal regulations relating to the evolving needs of patients and their families. Based on an initial assessment, each patient is placed into the level of care that is most appropriate for his or her needs. Following assessment, each patient admitted into treatment receives a full medical and social historynation’s mental health system as well as a physical examinationchanges in Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement that includes those diagnostic studies ordered bycould have an effect on the patient's attending physician. Throughout the courseprofitability of treatment, each plan is reviewed frequently to ensure that it continues to meet the changing needs of the patient. The length of time spent in treatment is dependent on an individual's needs and canour contracts. These regulations range from several weekslicensure and compliance with regulations related to several months. SOURCES OF REVENUES During fiscal 1994, approximately 57%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, CompCare may be subject to the specific regulatory approach adopted by each state for regulation of the Company's operating revenues from freestanding operations were received from private sources (private health insurers, managed care companies and directly from patients)for providers of behavioral healthcare treatment services. The Company holds licenses or certificates to perform utilization review and third party administrator (“TPA”) services in certain states. Certain of the balance from Medicare, Medicaid andservices provided by our managed behavioral healthcare subsidiaries may be subject to such licensing requirements in other governmental programs. Private health insurers offer plansstates. There can be no assurance that typically include coverage for psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment.additional utilization review or TPA licenses will not be required or, if required, that CompCare will qualify to obtain such licenses. In many instances,states, entities that assume risk under contract with licensed insurance companies or health plans who retain ultimate financial responsibility have not been considered by state regulators to be conducting an insurance or HMO business. As a result, we have not sought licensure as either an insurer or HMO in certain states. If the levelregulatory positions of coverage for psychiatric and chemical dependency benefits is less than that provided for medical/surgical services. Lower coverage levels result in higher co-payments bythese states were to change, our business could be materially affected until such time as CompCare meets the patient, who is often unable to meet his or her commitment in its entirety or is unable to pay as rapidly asregulatory requirements. Currently, we cannot quantify the insurance company. This pattern tends to increase bad debts and days outstanding in receivables. Private insurance plans vary significantly in their methodspotential effects of payment, including cost, cost plus, prospective rate, negotiated rate, percentageadditional regulation of charges, and billed charges. Health insurersthe managed care industry, but such costs will have adopted a number of payment mechanisms for the primary purpose of decreasing the amounts paid to hospitals (including the Company's operations) for services rendered. These mechanisms include various forms of utilization review, preferred provider 4 5 arrangements where use of participating hospitals is encouraged in exchange for a discount, and payment limitations or negotiated rates based on community standards. Without program changes that offer a continuum of care ranging from outpatient to intensive inpatient services, the Company believes these changing payment mechanisms will continue to have a negativean adverse effect on its revenues. Employers, union trusts and other major purchasers of health care services have become increasingly aggressive in pursuing cost containment. Tofuture operations to the extent that major purchasersthey are self-insured, they actively negotiatenot able to be recouped in future managed care contracts.

     As of May 31, 2003, we managed approximately 813,000 lives in connection with hospitals,behavioral and substance abuse services covered through Medicaid and/or Children’s Health Maintenance Organizations ("HMOs"Insurance Programs (“CHIPS”) in Connecticut, Florida, Michigan and Preferred Provider Organizations ("PPOs") for lower rates.

In addition, many major purchasersState of health care services are reconsidering the benefitsTexas has passed legislation that they provide and in many cases reducing the level of coverage, thereby shifting more of the burden to their employees or members. Such reductions in benefits have had a negative impact on the Company's business. Under the Social Security Amendments Act of 1983, a prospective payment system ("PPS") was adopted to cover routine and ancillary operating costs of most Medicare inpatient hospital services. Under this system, the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") established fixed payment amounts per discharge based on diagnostic-related groups ("DRG's"). In general, a hospital's payment for Medicare inpatients is limited to the DRG rate and capital costs, regardless ofwill reduce the amount of funds allocated to our clients to cover behavioral healthcare services provided to CHIP recipients in the patient or the lengthState of Texas. Such legislation is subject to pending bills that, if passed, could restore some of the patient's hospital stay. Under PPS, a hospital may keep any difference between its prospective payment rate and its operating costs incurred in furnishing inpatient services, but is at risk for any operating costs that exceed its payment rate. Qualified providers of alcohol and drug treatment services are paid under PPS. Psychiatric hospitals, freestanding inpatient rehabilitation facilities and outpatient rehabilitation services are exempt from PPS. Inpatient psychiatric and rehabilitation units within acute care hospitals are eligible to obtain an exemption from PPS upon satisfaction of specified federal criteria. Exempt hospitals and exempt units within acute care hospitals are subject to limitations on the level of cost or the permissible increase in cost subject to reimbursement under the Medicare program, including those limitations imposed under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA"). No assurance can be given that psychiatric services will continue to be eligible for exemption from PPS or that other regulatory or legislative changes will not adversely affect the Company's business. Five of the Company's facilities participate in the Medicare program. Of these, three are currently excluded from PPS (TEFRA limits are applicablebenefits to these facilities). Medicare utilization at those facilities participating inprograms. Under the Medicare program averaged approximately 34% in fiscal 1994. The Company does not believe thatrecently passed legislation, the imposition of TEFRA limits or PPS has had a material adverse impact on its business at its freestanding facilities or that loss of exclusion from PPS at freestanding facilities would materially impact the Company's business. During fiscal 1994, three of the Company's facilities reflected an increase in Medicare utilization primarily dueoutpatient behavioral healthcare benefits available to their partial hospitalization programs. In addition, two of the Company's facilities' first full year in the Medicare program was fiscal 1994. Hospitals participating in the Medicare program are required to retain the services of a peer review organization ("PRO"). The PRO is responsible for determining the medical necessity, appropriatenessadult Medicaid and quality of care given Medicare program patients. In instances where the medical necessity of an admission or procedure is challengedCHIP recipients will be provided by the PRO, payment may be delayed, reduced or denied in its entirety.

In the event that the PRO does not approve inpatient admission, the patient may be admitted for outpatient treatment, referredcontracts covering Texas CHIP and Texas Medicaid recipients. These changes to an alternative treatment provider or sent home. The Company believes that the existence of PROs has reduced inpatient admissions in its facilities serving Medicare patients. TheTexas Medicaid program is a combined federal and state program providing coverage for low income persons. The specific services offered and reimbursement methods vary from state to state. Less than 9% of the Company's freestanding facility revenues are derived from the Medicaid program. Accordingly, changes in Medicaid program reimbursement are not expected toCHIP programs could have a material, adverse impact on our operations. However, we believe certain of our clients will continue to require the Company'stypes of services we provide to mitigate their exposure to treat serious medical conditions that may result from the lack of adequate behavioral healthcare benefits. We are closely monitoring developments in Texas, but currently cannot predict what financial impact, if any, these changes may have on our business. 5 6 COMPETITION AND PROMOTION The Company's primary competitors are hospitals and hospital management companies (both not-for-profit and investor-owned) that offer programs similar

     CompCare is subject to thosethe requirements of the Company.Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). The purpose of the HIPAA provisions is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system through standardization of the electronic data interchange of certain administrative and financial transactions and, also, to protect the security and privacy of protected health information. Entities subject to HIPAA include some healthcare providers and all healthcare plans. To meet the specific requirements of HIPAA, we will incur costs to insure the adequacy and security of our healthcare information system and communication networks. Additionally, we will incur costs to implement a new clinical information system that will process the specific transaction codes required by HIPAA for claims, payment, enrollment, eligibility, or to become compliant with security and privacy rules, which may be more stringent for providers of certain behavioral healthcare services (see “Management Information Systems” below). The expected timetable for us to be compliant is currently October 2003 for transaction code changes due to our October 2002 filing of a formal compliance plan. The Company has faced generally increasing competition inmet the last few years. Some of the hospitals that competedeadline for compliance with the Company are either owned or supported by governmental agencies or are owned by not-for-profit corporations supported by endowments and charitable contributions enabling some of these hospitals to provide a wide range of services regardless of cost-effectiveness. Most patients are directed to a specific facility by their employer (or their agent), the employer's insurance company (i.e. managed care companies), a physician, a social services agency or another health care provider. The Company markets its services by contracting with these referral sources. The primary competitive factors in attracting referral sources and patients are reputation, success record, cost and quality of care, location and scope of services offered at a facility. The Company believes it is competitive in factors necessary for patient attraction. The Company and its competitors also compete to attract qualified physicians and psychiatrists and other licensed mental health providers. The Company maintains a public relations program designed to increase public awareness of its treatment programs. During fiscal 1994, the Company spent approximately $0.4 million for media advertising (television, radio and print) in support of its freestanding operations. The forms of media used are specifically tailored to the geographic area in which the public relations efforts are directed. CONTRACT OPERATIONS CareUnit, Inc. operates contract programs for behavioral medicine services in dedicated units of independent hospitals. The programs offered are similar to the behavioral medicine services offered in the Company's freestanding facilities. Under a contract, the hospital furnishes patients with all hospital facilities and services necessary for their generalized medical care, including nursing, dietary and housekeeping. CareUnit, Inc. is obligated to provide a multi-disciplinary team consisting of a physician (who serves as medical director for the program), a program manager, a social worker, a therapist and other appropriate supporting personnel. CareUnit, Inc. also typically provides support in the areas of program implementation and management, staff recruiting, continuing education, treatment team training, community education, advertising, public relations, insurance and ongoing program quality assurance. As a result of reimbursement changes and competitive pressures, the contractual obligations of CareUnit, Inc. have been subject to intense evaluation. In general, some prospective client hospitals have expressed a desire for more control over the services provided by CareUnit, Inc. and, in response, CareUnit, Inc. is providing a more flexible approach to contract management. During fiscal 1994 and 1993, CareUnit, Inc. through CareInstitute, a wholly owned non-profit subsidiary, managed two contracts for the State of Idaho. These programs provide behavioral medicine services in a residential and outpatient setting. During fiscal 1994, CareUnit, Inc. continued to experience a decline in the number of contracts and beds although three new contracts were opened. The Company believes that the decline in the number of contracts and beds under contract is a result of managed care intervention and reduction in available reimbursement from third parties, which have had the effect of making CareUnit, Inc.'s contracts less profitable to hospitals. In addition, CareUnit, Inc. terminated one unprofitable contract during the fiscal year and four were terminated by the contracting hospital. Responding to market demands, CareUnit, Inc. has implemented, in the majority of its contracts, a program of levels of care, offering a wide range of treatment options including detoxification, inpatient, residential, day-treatment and outpatient. As a result, inpatient occupancy rates have declined as patients are moved to a more appropriate level of care. 6 7 The following table sets forth selected operating data regarding behavioral medicine programs managed under contract:

(5) During fiscal 1994, CareUnit, Inc. opened 3 contracts and closed 5 contracts, 1 ofprivacy rules, which was terminated by CareUnit, Inc.April 14, 2003. Additionally, we have filed our Electronic Health Care Transactions and 4 by the contracting hospitals. SOURCES OF REVENUES Patients are admitted to a behavioral medicine program under the contracting hospital's standard admission policies and procedures. The hospital submits to the patient, the patient's insurance company, or other responsible party a bill that covers the services of the hospital. Generally, CareUnit, Inc. receives a negotiated fee for each patient day of service provided and in many cases also receives a fixed monthly management fee or a percentage of net revenue. Fees paid by the hospital are subject to annual adjustments to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index. CareUnit, Inc. and the hospital share the risk of nonpayment by patients based on a predetermined percentage participation by CareUnit, Inc. in bad debts. CareUnit, Inc. may also participate with a contracting hospital in charity care and certain contractual allowances and discounts. Hospitals contracting for programs generally suffer from the same reimbursement pressures as the Company's freestanding facilities. Management contracts are generally entered into for a period of two to five years and thereafter are automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless either party gives notice of termination at least 90 days prior to the end of such periods. Contracts are also terminable for material defaults. A significant number of contracts are terminable by either party on their anniversary dates. DEVELOPMENT, COMPETITION AND PROMOTION CareUnit, Inc. directs its development activities toward increasing the number of management contracts with hospitals. The primary competitors of CareUnit, Inc. are hospitals and hospital management companies that offer programs similar to those offered by CareUnit, Inc. A major development effort will be made in conjunctionCode Sets Standards Model Compliance Plan with the Company's managed care subsidiary, AccessCare, Inc., to expand the contract operations in general hospitals and develop the continuum of care. PUBLISHING ACTIVITIES Since 1976, the Company (under the name CompCare Publishers) has been engaged in the publication, distribution and sale of books, pamphlets and brochures generally relating to the Company's health care activities. Literature distributed by the Company is sold to the general public and educational institutions. Such literature is also sold to patients participating in programs managed by the Company. The Company does not own or operate the printing facilities used in the publication of its literature. 7 8 In April 1994, certain assets and rights representing a material portion of the publishing business were sold. CompCare Publishers is currently operating and distributing the books and material remaining after the sale via a distribution agreement with the buyer that expires on April 30, 1995. The Company will determine on or before April 30, 1995 as to whether it will liquidate the remaining assets and rights or continue to operate via a distribution agreement. Publishing activities accounted for less than 3% of the Company's operating revenues in fiscal 1994. MANAGED CARE OPERATIONS The Company has provided a managed care product since the acquisition of AccessCare, Inc's predecessor in December 1992. AccessCare provides managed behavioral health care and substance abuse service for employers, HMO's, PPO's, government organizations, third party claim administrators and other group purchasers of health care. AccessCare currently provides service to contracted members in 29 states. The programs and services currently offered by AccessCare include fully integrated capitated behavioral health care services, employee assistance programs, case management/utilization review services, provider sponsored health plan development, preferred provider network development and management and physician advisor reviews. AccessCare distinguishes itself from other providers by furnishing superior clinical management systems, total quality management and supervision, mutual respect for both providers and clients and responsive and appropriate care that includes quality and cost effectiveness. AccessCare distinguishes itself from the competition by being the "science-based" provider of care. AccessCare manages its clinical service programs on proven treatment technologies and is a leader in training its providers to use science-based efficacious treatment. AccessCare accounted for approximately 10% of the Company's operating revenues in fiscal 1994. AccessCare, in concert with a network of providers (i.e., CareUnit, Inc.), will assist the Company in developing an integrated service model to provide high quality, cost effective care. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION The development and operations of health care facilities are subject to compliance with various federal, state and local laws and regulations. Health care facilities operated by the Company as well as by hospitals under contract with CareUnit, Inc. must comply with the licensing requirements of federal, state and local health agencies, with state-mandated rate control initiatives, with state certificate of need and similar laws regulating various aspects of the operation of health facilities (including construction of facilities and initiation of new services), and with the requirements of municipal building codes, health codes and local fire departments. State licensing of facilities is a prerequisite to participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Legislative, regulatory and policy changes by governmental agencies (including reduction of budgets for payments under the Medicare, Medicaid and other state and federal governmental health care reimbursement programs) may impact the Company's ability to generate revenue and the utilization of its health care facilities. Certain facilities operated by the Company are certified as providersCenters for Medicare and Medicaid services. Both the Medicare and Medicaid programs contain specific physical plant, safety, patient care and other requirements that must be satisfied by health care facilities in order to qualify under those programs. The Company believes that the facilities it owns or leases are in substantial compliance with the various Medicare and Medicaid regulatory requirements applicable to them. The requirements for certification underServices. While these governmental reimbursement programs are subject to change, and in order to remain qualified for the program, it may be necessary for the Company to effect changes from time to time in its facilities, equipment, personnel and services. Under the Social Security Act, the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") has the authority to impose civil monetary penalties against any participant in the Medicare program that makes claims for payment for services that were not rendered as claimed or were rendered by a person or entity not properly licensed under state law or other false billing practices. The Social Security Act also contains provisions making it a felony for a hospital to make false statements relating to claims for payments under the Medicare program or to make false statements relating to compliance with the Medicare conditions of participation. In addition, the making of false claims for payment by providers participating in the Medicare program is subject to criminal penalty under federal laws relating generally to claims for payment made to the federal government or any agency. 8 9 Various federal and state laws regulate the relationship between providers of health care services and physicians. These laws include the "fraud and abuse" provisions of the Social Security Act, under which civil and criminal penalties can be imposed upon persons who pay or receive remuneration in return for inducement of referrals of patients who are eligible for reimbursement under the Medicare or Medicaid programs. Violations of the law may result in civil and criminal penalties. Civil penalties range from monetary fines that may be levied on a per-violation basis to temporary or permanent exclusion from the Medicare program. The prohibitions on inducements for referrals are so broadly drafted that they may create liability in connection with a wide variety of business transactions and other hospital-physician relations that have been traditional or commonplace in the health care industry. Courts, HHS and officials of the Office of Inspector General have construed broadly the fraud and abuse provisions of the Social Security Act concerning illegal remuneration arrangements and, in so doing, have created uncertainty as to the legality of numerous types of common business and financial relationships between health care providers and practitioners. Such relationships often are created to respond to competitive pressures. Limiting "safe harbor" regulations define a narrow scope of practices thatefforts will be exempted from prosecution or other enforcement action under the illegal remuneration provisions of the fraudongoing, we expect to meet all compliance rules and abuse law. These clarifying regulations may be followed by more aggressive enforcement of these provisions with respect to relationships that do not fit within the specified safe harbor rules. Activities that fall outside of the safe harbor rules include a wide range of activities frequently engaged in between hospitals, physicians and other third parties. These regulations identifying business practices that do not constitute illegal remuneration do not eliminate this uncertainty, and may cause providers and practitioners alike to abandon certain mutually beneficial relationships. The Company does not believe that any such claims or relationships existtimetables with respect to the Company. In April 1989, the Inspector General of the Department of HHS issuedHIPAA regulations. Failure to do so may result in penalties and have a report on financial arrangements between physicians and health care businesses. The report contained a number of recommendations, including a prohibition of physician referrals to any facilities in which the physician has a financial interest. Congress adopted legislation in 1989 (effective January 1992, the "Stark Amendment"), that unless an exemption is otherwise available, prohibits or restricts a physician from making a referral for which Medicare reimbursement may be made to a clinical laboratory with which such physician has a financial relationship, and prohibits such clinical laboratory from billing for or receiving reimbursement on account of such referral. On March 11, 1992, proposed regulations implementing the Stark Amendment were issued, but have not been adopted. The Company believes that it is in compliance with the proposed regulations in all material respects. Additional legislation expanding the Stark Amendment to other physician and health care business relationships has been passed as part of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA 1993"). OBRA 1993 broadens the services included within the referral prohibition of the Stark Amendment: a physician having a financial relationship with an entity may not make referrals to that entity for "designated health services," which include, in addition to clinical laboratory services, physician therapy services; occupational therapy services; radiology or other diagnostic services; radiation therapy services; durable medical equipment; parenteral and enteral nutrients, equipment and supplies; prosthetics, orthotics and prosthetic devices; home health services; outpatient prescription drugs; and inpatient and outpatient hospital services. This law, applicable to services covered by Medicaid as well as Medicare, takes effect after December 31, 1994 with respect to referrals for the expanded list of designated health services. Numerous exceptions are allowed under the OBRA 1993 revisions to the Stark Amendment for financial arrangements that would otherwise trigger the referral prohibition. These provide, under certain conditions, exceptions for relationships involving rental of office space and equipment, employment relationships, personal service arrangements, payments unrelated to designated services, physician recruitment and certain isolated transactions. HHS may adopt regulations in the future which expand upon the conditions attached to qualification for these exceptions. Certain of the Company's relationships with physicians in its contract operations, as well as the Company's development of relationships with physicians, will need to be structured in compliance with the law and its exceptions, including any future regulations, by the January 1, 1995 effective date. The Company is unable to predict at this time what effect, if any, the expanded Stark Amendment and any future regulations implementing its provisions, will have upon its business. Proposals for health care reform on a national basis have been introduced in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The goals of these health care proposals may include, but would not necessarily be 9 10 limited to, proposals which would impose short-term governmental price controls, create a national health care budget limiting the amount to be spent on health care coverage, and give federal and state governments new powers with respect to medical fees and health insurance premiums. At this time, it is not possible to determine the exact nature of the proposals, or their legislative outcome, or their likely impact upon institutional providers. In addition, several states are undertaking analysis and legislation designed to modify the financing and delivery of health care at the state level. A wide variety of bills and regulations are pending in several states proposing to regulate, control or alter the financing of health care costs; however, it is not possible at this time to predict with assurance theadverse effect on the business of the Company, if any, of such bills or regulatory actions. ACCREDITATION The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO") is an independent commission that conducts voluntary accreditation programs with the goal of improving the quality of care provided in health care facilities. Generally, hospitals including dedicated units, long-term care facilities and certain other health care facilities may apply for JCAHO accreditation. If a hospital under contract with CareUnit, Inc. requests a JCAHO survey of its entire facility, the contract program, if a psychiatric or chemical dependency program, will be separately surveyed. After conducting on-site surveys, JCAHO awards accreditation for up to three years to facilities found to be in substantial compliance with JCAHO standards. Accredited facilities are periodically resurveyed. Loss of JCAHO accreditation could adversely affect the hospital's reputation and itsCompany’s ability to obtain third-party reimbursement. All of the Company's freestanding facilities are accredited and the hospitals under contract with CareUnit, Inc. have receivedretain its customers or have applied for such accreditation.to gain new business.

ACCREDITATION

     To develop standards that effectively evaluate the structure and function of medical and quality management systems in managed care organizations, the National Committee foron Quality Assurance, ("NCQA"(“NCQA”) has developed an extensive review and development process in conjunction with the managed care industry, health carehealthcare purchasers, state regulators, and consumers, an extensive review and development process.consumers. The Standards for Accreditation of Managed CareBehavioral Healthcare Organizations used by NCQA reviewers to evaluate a managed carebehavioral healthcare organization address the following areas: quality improvement,improvement; utilization management, credentialing, members'management; credentialing; members’ rights and responsibilities, preventative care services guidelinesresponsibilities; preventative-care guidelines; and medical records. These standards validate that a managed carebehavioral healthcare organization is founded on principalsprinciples of quality and is continuously improving the clinical care and services provided.it provides. NCQA also utilizes Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set ("HEDIS"(“HEDIS”), which is a core set of performance measurements developed to respond to complex but simplyclearly defined employer needs as standards for patient care and customer satisfaction. AccessCareCompCare’s Southeast Region operation was awarded a one-year NCQA accreditation in July 1999 and Full Accreditation in December 2001. Effective July 22, 2002, CompCare’s Full Accreditation award extends the NCQA accreditation to July 22, 2005 and covers membership in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, and Michigan. Full Accreditation is accreditedgranted for a period of three years to those plans that have excellent programs for continuous quality improvement and that meet NCQA’s rigorous standards.

     We believe our NCQA accreditation is beneficial to our clients and their members we serve. Additionally, NCQA accreditation may be an important consideration to our prospective clients.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

     We currently use a fully integrated, three-tier, managed care information system. During recent months, we determined that a significant investment would be required to upgrade our current version of this software to comply with HIPAA regulations. As a result, during Fiscal 2003, we requested and reviewed several proposals from various vendors and subsequently entered into a Letter of Intent with a new vendor to design a new, customized management information system at a cost below the current vendor’s estimate that will enable us to meet HIPAA compliance. Additionally, the new software is expected to streamline the Company’s entire clinical and claims functions and offer service improvements to our participating providers. The new vendor will also assist CompCare staff in developing an interim solution to meet the HIPAA compliance rules that become effective in October 2003, before the expected “go-live” date for the new system of February 1, 2004. We expect to incur approximately $0.4 million of one-time costs to customize the new system and activate the licenses needed for this and other, related third-party software. We believe the system currently being designed will readily support continued growth and meet our future business needs.

     As is the case with our current system, the new system will allow all CompCare locations to connect to the Company’s frame relay telecommunications network, allowing automated call-path routing for overlap coverage at peak call times. Major care management functions such as information assessment, service plans, initial authorizations, extension requests, termination summaries, appeals, credentialing, billing, and claim/encounter processing are supported by NCQA and has adopted HEDIS. built-in decision aids to correctly adjudicate patient-specific transactions.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. On October 30, 1992,PROCEEDINGS

     We had previously reported that the Company had filed a complaintan “Offer in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri against RehabCare Corporation ("RehabCare"Compromise” (“Offer”) seeking damages for violations by RehabCare of the securities laws of the United States, for common law fraud and for breach of contract (Case No. 4-92CV002194-SNL). The Company seeks relief of damages in the lost benefit of certain stockholder appreciation rights in an amount in excess of $3.6 million and punitive damages. On May 18, 1993, the District Court denied a motion for summary judgement filed by RehabCare. On June 16, 1993, RehabCare filed a counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgement with respect to the rights of both parties under the stock redemption agreement, an injunction enjoining the Company from taking action under stock redemption or restated shareholders agreements and damages. The Company has filed a motion with the court to strike RehabCare's request for damages for attorney's fees and costs on the grounds that such relief is not permitted by law nor authorized by the agreements between the parties. This case was scheduled for trial on May 9, 1994, but has been continued on the court's own initiative and the new trial date has not been set. Management believes that the Company's allegations have merit and intends to vigorously pursue this suit. Management further believes that should RehabCare prevail at trial on its request for such attorneys fees and costs, such fees and costs would not materially affect the financial statements of the Company. In connection with the proposed sale of hospitals to CMP Properties, Inc. (see Note 5-- "Property and Equipment for Sale"), the Company advanced $1.1 million to a former consultant which was to be returned in the event the transaction was terminated. These advances were to be secured by the common stock of an unrelated company. The shares of common stock pledged were purported to be in the possession of the Company's former legal firm as collateral for the advances, but were not provided to the Company when the transaction was terminated. The Company is currently in litigation with the former consultant and legal firm to recover the advances. Other Litigation The Company is currently undergoing a payroll tax audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"(“IRS”) for calendar years 1983 through 1991. Theto settle a tax dispute that began in August 1998 when the IRS agent conductingnotified the audit has assertedCompany that certain physicians and psychologists and other staff engaged as independent contractorsit was disallowing $12.4 million of tax refunds previously received by the Company should have been treatedspecific to its Fiscal 1985 and 1986 income tax returns as employees for payroll tax purposes.

In February 2003, the Company concluded the IRS settlement by making a cash payment of approximately $19.4$2.2 million for calendar years 1983 through 1988. The Company filed a protestto the IRS to fully settle the previously accrued tax liability of $12.1 million. Coincident with the IRS and contestedsettlement, the proposed assessmentCompany reached an agreement with its former tax advisor requiring the Appeals Officetax advisor to refund $525,000 of the Internal Revenue Serviceoriginal $2.5 million of fees previously paid by the Company. The Company received the $525,000 refund in St. Louis, Missouri. The Appeals Office issuedFebruary 2003.

     As a reduced assessmentresult of the resolution of this matter, the Company extinguished the $12.1 million liability and recorded a non-operating gain in the amountquarter ended February 28, 2003 of approximately $6,300,000, plus penalties$7.7 million. The gain is net of settlement expenses consisting primarily of professional fees and interest of $6,500,000. The IRS is also examining the Company's employment tax returns for the years 1989 through 1991, and the agent conducting the examination proposed the assessment of additional taxes for those years in the approximate amount of $1,600,000, plus penalties and interest in an undetermined amount. While management believes the Company has strong arguments to support its treatment$2.0 million of the payments to independent contractors to whom substantially allaforementioned, unrecovered tax advisor fees. The gain represented $1.97 earnings per share ($1.77 diluted earnings per share). No taxable income resulted from the settlement of the assessment relates, the Company has submitted an offer in compromise toliability. Additionally, the IRS forsettlement requires that the calendar years 1983 through 1991 for $5 million. A reserve has been established with respect to this matter to cover expenses the Company expects to incur; however, there can be no assurance that such reserves are adequate until a formal settlement is reached with the IRS. The Company and RehabCare, in May 1991, entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement providing for the Company to indemnify RehabCare for any claims of income or payroll taxes due for all periods through February 28, 1991. The Company has established a reserve with respect to covering expenses the Company expects RehabCare to incur under the Tax Sharing Agreement. The federal income tax returns of the Company for its fiscal years ended 1984 and 1987 through 1991, have been examined by the IRS. The Company has provided the IRS with satisfactory documentary support for the majority of items questioned and those items have been deleted from the proposed assessment and accepted as originally filed. The remaining items have been agreed to and resulted in a disallowanceFederal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $229,000$42.0 million resulting from losses incurred in deductions which will be offset against the Company's net operating losses available for carryover. The examination also included the review of the Company's claim for refund of approximately $205,000 relating to an amended return for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1992. During completion of the audit, the IRS noted that the Company had received excess refunds representing its alternative minimum tax ("AMT") liability of approximately $666,000 in 1990 and 1991 from the carryback of net operating losses to the fiscal years ended May 31, 19881995 through May 31, 2001, and 1989, respectively. On March 29, 1994, the Company agreeda minimum tax credit carryover of approximately $0.7 million, are no longer available to the assessment of $666,000 plus 12 13 interest and received the final bill of $821,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994. The Company has accrued for this liability, net of refunds, in income taxes payable.Company.

15 16 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FISCAL 1994 (COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1993) The Company incurred aan operating loss of approximately $7.9 million$608,000, for the year ended May 31, 2003 compared to the net loss of $770,000, or $0.36$0.20 loss per share (basic and diluted), and an operating loss of $774,000, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1994, which was an improvement2002. Excluding the $8.2 million of $3.7 million or $0.17 per share more than the $11.6 million or $0.53 per share loss incurred in the prior fiscal year. The fiscal 1994 fourth quarter loss of $4.0 million or $0.19 per share reflected an improvementnon-operating gains from the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year by $0.3 million or $0.01 per share. Results for fiscal 1993 were impacted by a gain of approximately $13.1 million recorded during the second quarter of the fiscal year as a result of the sale by the Company of 2,300,000 shares of its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary RehabCare. Prior to the sale the Company owned a 48% interest in RehabCare which was accounted for on the equity method. Subsequent to the sale, the Company no longer has an interest in RehabCare and no longer reports a portion of RehabCare's earnings in its statement of operations. Included in the loss for fiscal 1993 is a charge of approximately $6.7 million, attributable to restructuring the organization, of which $1.2 million was reclassified as asset writedowns during the fourth quarter. In fiscal 1993, the Company recorded pretax charges of approximately $4.4 million primarily associated with the write-down of property and equipment held for sale. Of this amount, $3.4 million was a result of revaluing certain underperforming assets that the Company had designated for disposition and the remaining $1.0 million was attributable to the write-down of other property and equipment to net realizable value. Operating revenues declined $17.6 million or 34% from fiscal 1993, primarily as the result of the closure of four facilities during fiscal 1993, the sale of a fifth facility and the decline in both admissions and length of stay. Operating expenses decreased by approximately $19.0 million or 37%, primarily as a result of the closure of four facilities during fiscal 1993 and the sale of a fifth. General and administrative expenses declined by approximately $0.3 million or 5% in fiscal 1994 primarily as a result of management's continued effort to reduce corporate overhead expenses. Interest expense was reduced by $0.5 million or 30%, primarily as the result of the paydown of senior secured debt by approximately $1.9 million with the proceeds of asset sales. In addition, general and administrative expenses reflect a credit of $0.8 million for fiscal 1993. This credit is the result of the reduction of provisions for general and administrative expenses. Equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was approximately $0.4 million during fiscal 1993. No equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was included in the Company's financial statements for fiscal 1994 (see Note 7-- "Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates"). The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Effective June 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement No. 109 which changed the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the asset and liability method. The change to Statement No. 109 had no cumulative effect on the financial statements of the Company. Freestanding Operations Admissions in fiscal 1994 declined overall by 3,131 to 3,916 from 7,047 in fiscal 1993, an overall decline of 44%. Of this decline, 2,843 fewer admissions were attributable to facilities which were closed or under contract to be sold as of May 31, 1994. The remaining facilities ("same store", i.e., those operational during both fiscal years) experienced a 7% decrease in admissions and a 11% decline in length of stay to 10.0 days, resulting in 21% fewer patient days than the prior fiscal year. The decrease in "same store" patient days was primarily due to Aurora Behavioral Health Hospital which experienced a 16% decrease in admissions and a 53% decline in length of stay whichwould have resulted in 60% fewer patient days in fiscal 1994 compared to the prior fiscal year. This decline was primarily attributable to the termination during fiscal 1993 of an acute psychiatric program specializing in dissociative disorders. Patients in the dissociative disorder program traditionally have a higher acuity requiring additional care$729,000 net loss ($0.19 loss per basic and a longer length of stay. The following table sets forth selected quarterly utilization data on a "same store" basis: 16 17

Overall operating revenue per patient day increased by 20% to $618 in fiscal 1994 from fiscal 1993 and overall patient days declined 53% to 38,685, resulting in a decrease of approximately $18.0 million, or 43%, in operating revenues. In addition to the decrease caused by the sale and/or closure of hospitals, the Company believes that the increasing role of HMOs, reduced benefits from employers and indemnity companies, a greater number of competitive beds and a shifting to outpatient programs are responsible for this decline in patient days. In response to these factors the Company accelerated the development of effective, lower cost outpatient, daycare, and partial hospitalization programs in conjunction with its freestanding facilities, and shifted its marketing activities toward developing relationships and contracts with managed care and other organizations which pay for or broker such services. The following table illustrates the revenues in outpatient and daycare programs offered by the freestanding facilities on a "same store" basis:

The Company recorded no asset write-downs during fiscal 1994 and $4.4 million in asset write-downs during fiscal 1993 primarily related to the recognition of losses on facilities to be sold and revaluation of facilities designated for disposition. These amounts include the estimated future operating losses, selling costs and carrying costs of such facilities until disposition at an assumed future point in time. To the extent that actual costs and time required to dispose of the facilities differ from these estimates, adjustments to the amount written-down may be required. Future operating losses and carrying costs of such facilities will be charged back directly to the carrying value of the respective assets held for sale. Because chemical dependency treatment facilities are special purpose structures, their resale value is negatively affected by the oversupply of beds resulting from the diminished demand for inpatient treatment currently being experienced throughout the industry. In the first quarter of 1993, one facility previously designated for disposition was redesignated as continuing due to improved operating performance. In the second quarter of fiscal 1993, eight facilities previously designated for disposition were redesignated as continuing operations. These facilities were redesignated upon the termination of the sale/leaseback of properties to CMP Properties, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary (see Note 5-- "Property and Equipment Held for Sale"). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company closed four facilities which were listed for sale and sold another one. Additionally, three facilities closed in the fourth quarter of 1993, were sold during fiscal 1994. The Company currently has four facilities listed for sale, of which one was closed in fiscal 1993, and the other three in prior fiscal years. These facilities have been designated for disposition because of their weak market positions relative to competitors and limited prospects for generating an acceptable return on investment as an operating property. The Company will continue to evaluate the performance of all of these facilities in their respective markets, and, if circumstances warrant, may increase or reduce the number of facilities designated for disposition. 17 18 Contract Operations During fiscal 1994, patient days of service under CareUnit, Inc. contracts declined by approximately 33% from 51,524 patient days to 34,464 patient days. This decline is attributable to the 5 units which were closed during fiscal 1994, a decline in length of stay and managed care intervention. Of the units closed, 1 contract was terminated by CareUnit, Inc. for poor operating performance. The remaining 4 closures were terminated by the contracting hospitals upon expiration of their term. The Company believes that these non-renewals were influenced primarily by increased competition and changes in reimbursement patterns by third-party payers. During fiscal 1994, CareUnit, Inc. opened 3 new contracts. The following table sets forth quarterly utilization data on a "same store" basis:
Same Store Utilization ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fiscal 1994 Fiscal 1993 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 4th 3rd 2nd 1st 4th 3rd 2nd 1st Qtr.

Units which were operational for both fiscal years experienced a 7% increase in admissions which combined with the decrease in length of stay resulted in an 11% decline in utilization to 21,654 patient days. Since average net revenue per patient day at these units increased by $19, net inpatient operating revenues increased by 10% to $2.1 million. An additional $0.6 million was generated by units closed during the fiscal year. Outpatient revenues increased 11% in fiscal 1994. The following table illustrates the revenues in outpatient and daycare programs offered by eight contract units on a "same store" basis:
Net Outpatient/Daycare Revenues ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Dollars in thousands) Fiscal 1994 Fiscal 1993 ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- 4th 3rd 2nd 1st 4th 3rd 2nd 1st Qtr.

For units operational in both fiscal years, operating expenses decreased less than 1%, which, combined with the increase in inpatient and outpatient operating revenues, caused operating income at the unit level to increase 10% from fiscal 1993. Consequently, overall unit operating income increased to $0.8 million in fiscal 1994 from $0.7 million in fiscal 1993. Managed Care Operations During fiscal 1994, the number of covered lives increased by 33%. This increase is attributable to new contracts added during fiscal 1994. AccessCare distinguishes itself from its competition by being the "science-based" provider of care and manages all clinical programs based upon proven treatment technologies. 18 19 In fiscal 1994, operating revenue increased 191% from fiscal 1993 due to the fact that fiscal 1993 consisted of only five months. In addition, AccessCare is a start-up venture and is in its growth stage. Operating expenses increased 134% in fiscal 1994 also as a result that fiscal 1993 consisted of only five months and the expenses related to AccessCare's expansion and development. Although AccessCare experienced an increase in operating revenue during fiscal 1994, it was more than offset by the increase in total operating expenses resulting in an increase in AccessCare's net operating loss of 70% or $0.7 million from fiscal 1993. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FISCAL 1993 (COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1992) The Company incurred a loss of approximately $11.6 million or $0.53 per sharediluted share) for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1993, which2003.

     No tax provision for federal income taxes was recorded during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, as the $7.7 million non-operating gain specific to the IRS settlement is non-taxable. Additionally, management has determined that a valuation allowance at May 31, 2003 and 2002, was necessary to fully offset any deferred tax assets based on the likelihood of future realization.

Results of Operations –Year Ended May 31, 2003 Compared to the Year Ended May 31, 2002.

     We reported net income of approximately $7.5 million and an operating loss of $7.0$608,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 compared to a net loss of $770,000 and an operating loss of $774,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002. Results for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 include a $7.7 million or $0.32non-operating gain in connection with the IRS settlement (see Note 13 – “Income Taxes” to the audited, consolidated financial statements) and a $470,000, non-operating gain related to the Medi-cal settlement (see Note 16 – “Commitments and Contingencies” to the audited, consolidated financial statements). For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, excluding the $8.2 million non-operating gains from net income would have resulted in a $729,000 net loss ($0.19 loss per share more thanbasic and diluted share). Additionally, results include $88,000 of revenue related to a favorable settlement of one hospital cost report and the elimination of a $75,000 reserve for another cost report, both pertaining to our hospital business segment that was discontinued in Fiscal 1999. Operating revenues increased by 16.8%, or $4.6 million, or $0.21 per share loss incurred into approximately $32.3 million for the prior fiscal year. Theyear ended May 31, 2003 compared to $27.6 million for the fiscal 1993 fourth quarter loss of $4.3 million or $0.20 per share reflected a deteriorationyear ended May 31, 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to membership growth from existing business, one new contract implemented during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2002, and new Indiana business that was implemented during January 2003. These increases were offset by the priorloss of business from two major customers during Fiscal 2003 (see Note 4(1 and 3) – “Major Customers/Contracts” to the audited, consolidated financial statements).

     Healthcare operating expenses increased by approximately $4.6 million, or 18.6%, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 as compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002. This increase is directly attributable to revenue growth as described above. Healthcare operating expense as a percentage of operating revenue increased by $5.01.4%

10


COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

from 89.1% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 to 90.5% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to a change in revenue mix resulting in increased Medicaid membership during Fiscal 2003 compared to Fiscal 2002.

     General and administrative expenses decreased by $85,000, or 2.4%, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 as compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002. This decrease is primarily attributable to net reductions in outside professional service fees offset by staffing additions necessary to support new revenue. General and administrative expense as a percentage of operating revenue decreased from 12.8% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 to 10.7% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003.

     Other operating expenses decreased by $15,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in depreciation expense offset by an increase in bad debt expense in Fiscal 2003 compared to Fiscal 2002. The increase in bad debt expense is primarily due to a $66,000 bad debt recovery in Fiscal 2002.

Results of Operations – Year Ended May 31, 2002 Compared to the Year Ended May 31, 2001.

     We reported a net loss of $770,000 and an operating loss of $774,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 compared to the operating loss of $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. Operating revenues increased by 51.9%, or $9.4 million, to $27.6 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 compared to $18.2 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. This increase was attributable to two major contracts implemented during Fiscal 2001 and membership growth from state sponsored children’s health insurance programs.

     Healthcare operating expenses increased by approximately $9.3 million, or $0.23 per share. Results60.7%, for the fiscal 1993 were impactedyear ended May 31, 2002 as compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. This increase is directly attributable to revenue growth as described above. Healthcare operating expense as a percentage of operating revenue increased by 4.8%, from 84.3% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001 to 89.1% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to a change in revenue mix resulting in increased Medicaid and Medicare membership during Fiscal 2002 compared to Fiscal 2001.

     General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 7.8%, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 as compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. This decrease was attributable to our continuing efforts to reduce general and administrative costs. General and administrative expense as a percentage of operating revenue decreased from 21.1% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001 to 12.8% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002.

     Other operating expenses increased $43,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to the $327,000 reduction in the amount of recovery of doubtful accounts year over year, offset by a gain$242,000 decrease in depreciation expense, which results from assets being fully depreciated and, also, from decreases in capital spending. Additionally, Fiscal 2002 results do not include any amortization expense compared to $72,000 of approximately $13.1 millionamortization expense recorded during the secondfiscal year ended May 31, 2001 (see Note 10 to the audited, consolidated financial statements – “Goodwill”).

Seasonality of Business

     Historically and during Fiscal 2003, we have experienced consistently low utilization during our first fiscal quarter, which comprises the months of June, July, and August, and increased utilization during our fourth fiscal quarter, which comprises the months of March, April and May. Such variations in utilization impact our costs of care during these months, generally having a positive impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the first fiscal quarter and a negative impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the fourth quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, we completed a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service and reached an agreement with our former tax advisor with respect to the related tax advisor fees. Having concluded these settlements, we recorded a non-operating gain of $7.7 million during the quarter ended February 28, 2003, significantly reducing our working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficit (see Note 13 – “Income Taxes” to the audited, consolidated financial statements), which amount to $4.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, as of May 31, 2003. The IRS settlement required us to make a cash payment in February 2003 of approximately $2.2 million,

11


COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

which was offset in part by $525,000 collected from our former tax advisor. As a result, cash and cash equivalents have decreased by approximately $1.8 million during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003.

     Our 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. Any significant increase in member utilization that falls outside of our estimations would increase healthcare operating expenses and may impact our ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, we believe that the unpaid claims liability is adequate. However, actual results could differ from the $4.1 million claims payable amount reported as of May 31, 2003.

     During Fiscal 2003, net cash used in operations amounted to $1.7 million, which approximates the net amount paid by the Company to complete its settlement with the Internal Revenue Service. Having concluded this settlement, the Company recorded a non-operating gain of $7.7 million during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, significantly reducing its working capital deficiency and stockholder’s deficit, which amount to $4.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, as of May 31, 2003. Our capital needs during Fiscal 2004 will include a portion of the $0.4 million required to implement a new, customized management information system that will enable us to meet HIPAA requirements, streamline our entire clinical and claims functions, and offer service improvements to our participating providers (see “Management Information Systems” above). We are currently pursuing sources of financing on terms that would support our future capital needs and provide available funds for working capital in Fiscal 2004. We cannot state with any degree of certainty whether any required additional equity or debt financing will be available to us during Fiscal 2004 and, if available, that the source of financing would be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon our ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, obtaining additional financing as may be required and, ultimately, attaining an operating profit.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments to develop the amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the appropriateness of our estimates and we maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following significant accounting policies involve our most significant judgments and estimates that are material to our consolidated financial statements:

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, including estimated amounts for claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”) to the Company. The unpaid claims liability is estimated using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and other statistical analyses and is continually reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect any change in the estimated liability. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in utilization and other factors. However, actual claims incurred could differ from the estimated claims payable amount reported as of May 31, 2003. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, we believe that the unpaid claims liability is adequate.

Revenue Recognition— Our managed care activities are performed under the terms of agreements with health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, and other health plans or payers to provide contracted behavioral healthcare services to subscribing participants. Revenue under a substantial portion of these agreements is earned monthly based on the number of qualified participants regardless of services actually provided (generally referred to as capitation arrangements). The information regarding qualified participants is supplied by our clients and we rely extensively on the accuracy of the client remittance and other reported information to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. Such agreements accounted for 87.4%, or $28.2 million, of revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003. The balance of our revenues is earned on a fee-for-service basis and is recognized as services are rendered.

Goodwill— As a result of the adoption of SFAS 142, effective June 1, 2001, no amortization expense was recorded during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2003 or 2002 compared to approximately $72,000 of amortization expense recorded during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. SFAS 141 requires the elimination of any unamortized

12


COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

deferred credits related to an excess of fair value of acquired assets over cost from a business combination for which the acquisition date was before July 1, 2001 immediately upon adoption of SFAS 142. As of June 1, 2001, the Company had an unamortized deferred credit of $55,000 that related to an acquisition in 1996. As a result, the Company recognized $55,000 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle during the quarter ended August 31, 2001.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

             
  Fiscal Year ended May 31,
  
  2003 2002 2001
  
 
 
Balance as of the beginning of the fiscal year $991,000  $936,000  $1,008,000

Balance as of the end of the fiscal year $991,000  $991,000  $936,000 
   
   
   
 

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142, we amortized goodwill on a straight-line basis over estimated lives up to 20 years. Had we accounted for goodwill consistent with the provisions of SFAS 142 in prior years, the Company’s net loss would have been affected as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

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, our success in (i) expanding the managed behavioral healthcare operations, (ii) effective management in the delivery of services, and (iii) risk and utilization in context of capitated payouts.

13


COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Concentration of Risk

     We currently have contracts with four health plans to provide behavioral healthcare services under commercial, Medicaid, and CHIP plans to contracted members in Connecticut, Florida, and Texas. These combined contracts represent approximately 56.7% and 63.6% of our operating revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002, respectively, and include contracts that terminated effective January 1, 2003, which accounted for a combined 11.7% and 17.0% of our operating revenue for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively (see Note 4(1) to the audited, consolidated financial statements – “Major Customers/Contracts”) and agreements that terminated effective February 28, 2003, which accounted for 4.8% and 3.6% of our operating revenues during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively (see Note 4(3) to the audited, consolidated financial statements – “Major Customers/Contracts”). One HMO, whose contract with the Company accounted for approximately $2.8 million, or 8.5%, of our operating revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 and is scheduled to renew in January 2004, has verbally advised us that it is evaluating whether to manage its members’ behavioral healthcare benefits “in house” (see Note 4(3) to the audited, consolidated financial statements – “Major Customers/Contracts”). We have not received a formal termination notice, nor has the customer advised the Company of a date by which it will make known its decision. However, at this point in time, we believe there exists a greater risk of non-renewal of this contract, the realization of which rests solely with our customer. Although the loss of this customer could have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and future results of operations, we believe the Company will be able to reduce its internal cost of servicing this account to minimize any effect on future results of operations. In general, the terms of each contract are generally for one-year periods and are automatically renewable for additional one-year periods unless terminated by either party. The loss of any one of these customers or changes in any of these State’s Medicaid reimbursement rules could have a material, adverse effect on our working capital and future results of operations (see “Medicaid and Other State Funded Programs” below).

History of Operating Losses – Uncertainty of Future Profitability

     For each of the fiscal years ending May 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, we had operating losses of approximately $608,000, $774,000 and $1,163,000, respectively. The report of the Company’s independent auditors with respect to their examination of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002 contains an explanatory paragraph relating to the preparation of the Company’s financial statements on a “going concern” basis and states that the Company’s working capital deficiency and stockholder’s deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. At May 31, 2003, the Company’s total current liabilities exceeded its total current assets by approximately $4.4 million and it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $56.9 million, with a total stockholders deficit of approximately $5.0 million. While our management has addressed the conditions giving rise to the going concern uncertainty, there is no certainty that we will be successful in implementing any of the plans of management to restore us to profitability, to achieve and maintain positive cash flow on an ongoing basis, or otherwise to ensure that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Costs of Care — Estimated Claims Incurred But Not Reported

     Our costs of care include estimated amounts for claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”) to CompCare. The IBNR is estimated using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and other statistical analyses that we continually review and adjust, if necessary, to reflect any change in the estimated liability. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in utilization and other factors. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, we believe that our unpaid claims liability is adequate. However, actual results may differ materially from the estimated amounts reported.

Need for Additional Funds; Uncertainty of Future Funding

     We believe that our ability to increase business is dependent on our ability to have available working capital and, therefore, we will require additional funding. We are currently pursuing sources of financing on terms that would support our capital needs and provide available funds for working capital in Fiscal 2004. We cannot state with any degree of certainty whether any required additional equity or debt financing will be available to us during Fiscal 2004 and, if available, that the source of financing would be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 CompCare to the additional risk that contracts negotiated and entered into may ultimately be determined to be unprofitable if utilization levels require us to deliver and provide services at capitation rates which do not account for or factor in such utilization levels.

     We typically contract with small to medium sized HMO’s who may be adversely affected by the continuing efforts of governmental and third party payers to contain or reduce the costs of healthcare through various means. Our clients may fall under state supervision or otherwise be subject to state discipline placing them at risk of losing membership to their competitors in which case we may be unable to contract with any succeeding HMOs. They may also determine to manage the behavioral healthcare benefits “in house” and, as a result, discontinue contracting with the Company. Additionally, our clients may be acquired by larger HMO’s, in which case there can be no assurance that the acquiring company would renew our contract.

Medicaid and Other State funded Programs

     As of May 31, 2003, we managed approximately 627,000 lives in connection with behavioral and substance abuse services covered through Medicaid in Connecticut, Florida, Michigan and Texas. The aggregate number of Medicaid lives was reduced by approximately 166,000 effective January 1, 2003 due to the termination of the contracts described under Note 4(1) — “Major Contracts/Customers” to the audited, consolidated financial statements. Any changes in Medicaid reimbursement could ultimately affect the Company through contract bidding and cost structures with the health plans first impacted by such changes. The State of Texas has passed legislation that will reduce the amount of funds allocated to our clients to cover behavioral healthcare services to Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) recipients in the State of Texas. Such legislation is subject to pending bills that, if passed, could restore some of the benefits to these programs. Under the recently passed legislation, the outpatient behavioral healthcare benefits available to adult Medicaid and CHIP recipients will be provided by the HMOs and their subcontractors, including the Company, on a very limited basis while the inpatient benefits for CHIP recipients may not be covered by the HMOs and their subcontractors. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, we had operating revenue of $3.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, specific to contracts covering Texas CHIP and Texas Medicaid recipients. These changes to Texas Medicaid and CHIP programs could have a material, adverse impact on our operations. However, we believe certain of our clients will continue to require the types of services we provide to mitigate their exposure to treat serious medical conditions that may result from the lack of adequate behavioral healthcare benefits. We are closely monitoring developments in Texas, but currently cannot predict what financial impact, if any, these changes may have on our business. Additionally, we cannot predict whether other states in which we operate may pass legislation that would reduce our revenue through changes in the reimbursement rates or in the number of eligible participants. In either case, we may be unable to reduce our costs to a level that would allow us to maintain current gross margins specific to our Medicaid and CHIPS programs.

Seasonality of Business

     Historically and during Fiscal 2003, we have experienced consistently low utilization during our first fiscal quarter, which comprises the months of June, July, and August, and increased utilization during our fourth fiscal quarter, which comprises the months of March, April and May. Such variations in utilization impact our costs of care during these months, generally having a positive impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the first fiscal quarter and a negative impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the fourth quarter.

Regulatory compliance

     CompCare is subject to extensive and evolving state and federal regulations relating to the nation’s mental health system as well as changes in Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement that could have an effect on the profitability of our contracts. 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, CompCare 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.

15


COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

     CompCare holds licenses or certificates to perform utilization review and third party administrator (“TPA”) services in certain states. Certain of the services provided by our managed behavioral healthcare subsidiaries may be subject to such licensing requirements in other states. There can be no assurance that additional utilization review or TPA licenses will not be required or, if required, that CompCare will qualify to obtain such licenses. In many states, entities that assume risk under contract with licensed insurance companies or health plans have not been considered by state regulators to be conducting an insurance or HMO business. As a result, we have not sought licensure as either an insurer or HMO in any state. If the regulatory positions of these states were to change, our business could be materially affected until such time as we are able to meet the regulatory requirements. Currently, we cannot quantify the potential effects of additional regulation of the managed care industry, but such costs will have an adverse effect on future operations to the extent that they are not able to be recouped in future managed care contracts.

     CompCare is subject to the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). The purpose of the HIPAA provisions is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system through standardization of the electronic data interchange of certain administrative and financial transactions and, also, to protect the security and privacy of protected health information. Entities subject to HIPAA include some healthcare providers and all healthcare plans. To meet the specific requirements of HIPAA, we will incur costs to insure the adequacy and security of our healthcare information system and communication networks. Additionally, we will incur costs to implement a new clinical information system that will process the specific transaction codes required by HIPAA for claims, payment, enrollment, eligibility, or to become compliant with security and privacy rules, which may be more stringent for providers of certain behavioral healthcare services (see “Management Information Systems” above). The expected timetable for us to be compliant is currently October 2003 for transaction code changes due to our October 2002 filing of a formal compliance plan. The Company has met the deadline for compliance with the privacy rules, which was April 14, 2003. Additionally, we have filed our Electronic Health Care Transactions and Code Sets Standards Model Compliance Plan with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. While these efforts will be ongoing, we expect to meet all compliance rules and timetables with respect to the HIPAA regulations. Failure to do so may result in penalties and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to retain its customers or to gain new business.

Dependence on Key Personnel

     We currently rely heavily on several key executives and other management, clinical and technical personnel for our business performance and development. Recent new hires have included senior management personnel and other essential employees that are assisting executive management with marketing efforts and enhancements to our clinical system designs. Our future success will depend in large part upon our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees.

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

     As of September 3, 2003, the Company has issued 1,105,724 options, with exercise prices ranging from $0.25 to $4.00. A total of 867,083 options are exercisable and “in the money” as of September 3, 2003 and, accordingly, could be exercised and resold by optionees.

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 our 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, 2003, there are 18,740 remaining shares authorized and available to issue, and no outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. 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 that result in a change of control of the Company. Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware prohibits us from engaging in certain business combinations with interested stockholders. 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 our Common Stock or the possibility of sale of shares to an acquiring person.

     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 us to alter our 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 of 2,300,000 shares of its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary RehabCare.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     While we currently have market risk sensitive instruments, we have no significant exposure to the sale the Company owned a 48%changing interest in RehabCare which was accounted for on the equity method. Subsequent to the sale, the Company no longer has an interest in RehabCare and no longer reports a portion of RehabCare's earnings in its statement of operations. Included in the loss for fiscal 1993 is a charge of approximately $6.7 million, attributable to restructuring the organization, of which $1.2 million was reclassified as asset writedowns during the fourth quarter. In fiscal 1993, the Company recorded pretax charges of approximately $4.4 million primarily associated with the write-down of property and equipment held for sale. Of this amount, $3.4 million was a result of revaluing certain underperforming assets that the Company had designated for disposition and the remaining $1.0 million was attributable to the write-down of other property and equipment to net realizable value. During fiscal 1992, the Company recorded pretax charges of approximately $16.0 million primarily associated with the write-down of property and equipment held for sale. Of this amount, approximately $9.3 million was a result of revaluing certain underperforming assets that the Company had designated for disposition. The remaining $6.7 million was attributable to the write-down to net realizable value of certain hospitals. Operating revenues declined $8.1 million or 14% from fiscal 1992, primarilyrates as the result of the closure of four facilities during fiscal 1993, sale of a fifth facility, the decline in both admissions and length of stay and the redesignation of facilities as continuing operations. Operating expenses increased by approximately $12.1 million or 31%, primarily as a result of the redesignation of facilities as continuing operations, the expenses incurred in the development of psychiatric services at the company's freestanding facilities and the start- up costs associated with the development of its behavioral medicine managed care business. General and administrative expenses declined by approximately $7.2 million or 56% in fiscal 1993 primarily as a result of management's continued effort to reduce corporate overhead expenses. Interest expense was reduced by $2.1 million or 55%, primarily as the result of the paydown of senior secured debt by approximately $11.8 million with the proceeds of asset sales, the lowering of the prime interest rate on our long-term debt is fixed. Additionally, we do not use derivative financial instruments for investment or trading purposes and the reduction of interest expense attributableour investments are generally limited to the Financial Security Plan (see Note 13-- "Employee Benefit Plans"). Equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates improved by approximately $.2 million during fiscal 1993, primarily as a result of the termination of a joint venture from which the company reported losses of $1.1 million in fiscal 1992 (see Note 7-- "Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates"). LIQUIDITYcash deposits.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's current assets at May 31, 1994 amounted to approximately $15.1 million and current liabilities were approximately $14.7 million, resulting in working capital of approximately $0.4 million and a current ratio of 1:1. Included in current assets are four hospital facilities designated as property and equipment held for sale with a total carrying value of $6.9 million. Should the Company be unable to complete the sales transactions during fiscal 1995, the Company's working capital would be materially adversely affected. The Company is seeking to sell these four hospital facilities during fiscal 1995. The Company's primary use of working capital is to fund operating losses while it seeks to restore profitability to certain of its freestanding facilities and expand its behavioral medicine managed care business. The Company had no senior secured debt at May 31, 1994. 19 20 ITEMSUBSIDIARIES

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To AUDITORS’ REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Comprehensive Care Corporation:Corporation

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Comprehensive Care Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of May 31, 19942003 and 1993,2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equitystockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the three years then ended.in the period ended May 31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Company'sCompany’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted auditing standards.in the United States of America. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Comprehensive Care Corporation and subsidiaries as of May 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As further discussed in Note 15, the Company is negotiating a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding assessments of payroll taxes. Management believes that adequate reserves have been provided for the additional taxes to be assessed by the IRS. There can be no assurance, however, that such reserves will be sufficient until a formal settlement is reached. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The financial statement schedules V, VI and X for the years ended May 31, 1994 and 1993, are presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO. St. Louis, Missouri August 22, 1994 21 22 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Comprehensive Care Corporation: We have audited the accompanying statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of Comprehensive Care Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") for the year ended May 31, 1992. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the related financial statement schedules as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and related financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the resultsconsolidated financial position of Comprehensive Care Corporation'sCorporation and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the yearthree years in the period ended May 31, 1992,2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.United States of America.

     As discussed in Note 15 to3, the consolidated financial statements, the Company is currently undergoing a payroll tax audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for calendar years 1983 through 1991. The IRS asserted that certain physicians and psychologists engaged as independent contractors by the Company should have been treated as employees for payroll tax purposes and has issued an assessment claiming additional taxes due on that basis. Management believes that its treatment of the independent contractors is consistent with IRS guidelines and established industry practice. Management has filed a protest to the assessment and intends to defend vigorously the claims made by the IRS related to this issue. Also, as discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, on August 15, 1991 the Company, along with others, were named in a stockholder complaint filed in District Court related to the terminated reorganization with First Hospital Corporation. Management intends to defend vigorously the claims related to this issue. The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result upon resolution of these matters has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred significant recurring losses and has a substantial portion of its senior secured debt due on November 15, 1992. The potential need for additional financing to repay debt as it comes due and finance the Company's anticipatedCompany’s working capital requirements during fiscal 1993 raisesdeficiency, stockholders’ deficit, and continued losses from operations raise substantial doubt about the Company'sits ability to continue as a going concern. Management'sManagement’s plans in regardas to these matters are also described in Note 2.3. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. KPMG Peat Marwick

     As discussed in Note 2, effective June 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 and changed its method of accounting for goodwill.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992 NOTE 1-- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESSUBSIDIARIES

Note 1 — Description of the Company’s Business

     Comprehensive Care Corporation (the “Company” or “CompCare”) is a Delaware Corporation organized in 1969. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company” include Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. (“CBC”) and subsidiary corporations. The Company, primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, CBC, provides managed care services in the behavioral health and psychiatric fields, which is its only operating segment. 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 plans, government organizations, third-party claims administrators, and commercial and other group purchasers of behavioral healthcare services. 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 primarily 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 (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompanySignificant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use Of Estimates

     The Company's consolidatedpreparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 presentedperformed under the terms of agreements with health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), preferred provider organizations (“PPOs”), and other health plans or payers to provide contracted behavioral healthcare services to subscribing participants. Revenue under a substantial portion of these agreements is earned monthly based on the basis that itnumber of qualified participants regardless of services actually provided (generally referred to as capitation arrangements). The information regarding qualified participants is a going concern, which contemplatessupplied by the realization of assetsCompany’s clients and the satisfactionCompany relies extensively on the accuracy of liabilitiesthe client remittance and other reported information to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. Such agreements accounted for 87.4%, or $28.2 million, of revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, 84.7%, or $23.4 million, of revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002, and 79.2%, or $14.4 million, of revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. The balance of the Company’s revenues is earned on a fee-for-service basis and is 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 normal course of business. The continuation of the Company's business is dependent upon the resolution of operating and short-term liquidity problems (see Note 2-- "Operating Losses and Liquidity"). Revenue Recognition Approximately 66%, 88% and 91% of the Company's operating revenues were received from private sources in fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The remainder is received from Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental programs. The latter are programs which provide for payments at rates generally less than established billing rates. Payments are subject to audit by intermediaries administering these programs. Revenues from these programs are recorded under reimbursement principles applicable to each of the programs. Although management believes estimated provisions currently recorded properly reflect these revenues, any differences between final settlement and these estimated provisions are reflected in operating revenues in the year finalized. Property and Equipment Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, principally: buildings and improvements -- 5 to 40 years; furniture and equipment -- 3 to 12 years; leasehold improvements -- life of lease or life of asset, whichever is less. Property and equipment is carried at estimated net realizable value. Property and Equipment Held for Sale Property and equipment held for sale represents net assets of certain freestanding facilities and other propertiesperiod that the Company intendsis obligated to sell,provide such services. Certain contracted healthcare providers assume the financial risk for participant care rendered by them and is carried atthey 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 net realizable value. Net realizable value has been reduced by theclaims payable (see “Accrued Claims Payable” below).

Premium Deficiencies

     Estimated future healthcare costs and expenses in excess of estimated operating and selling costs of these facilities through their expected disposal dates. Property and equipment held for sale, which are expected to be sold in the next fiscal year, are shown as current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses on facilities soldfuture premiums are recorded as an adjustment to the remaining property values until all facilities are sold. Intangible Assets Intangible assets include costs in excess of fair value of net assets of businesses purchased (goodwill), licenses, and similar rights. Costs in excess of net assets purchased are amortized over 20 to 25 years. The costs of other intangible assets are amortized over the period of benefit. The amounts in the consolidated balance sheets are net of accumulated amortization of goodwill of $652,000 and $536,000a loss when determinable. No such deficiencies existed at May 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 27 28 2003 or May 31, 2002.

24


COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992 Deferred Contract Costs The Company has entered into contracts with independent general hospitals whereby it will provide services in excess of the standard agreement. In recognition of the hospitals' long-term commitment, the Company has paid certain amounts to them. These amounts may be used by the hospitals for capital improvements or as otherwise determined by the hospital. The Company is entitled to a prorata refund in the event that the hospital terminates the contract before its scheduled termination date; accordingly, these amounts are charged to expense over the life of the contract. SUBSIDIARIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. SuchThese investments are deemed to be cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Included in cash are short-term investments of $1,294,000aggregated $2.4 million and $228,000$2.6 million at May 31, 19942003 and 1993,2002, respectively. Income Taxes Effective June 1, 1993,These investments are included in cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Restricted Cash

     As of May 31, 2003 and 2002, 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. During Fiscal 2003, the Company adoptedsurrendered one license held by an inactive Michigan subsidiary and, as a result, approximately $100,000 of previously restricted cash was released to the Company.

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 fair value of the net assets acquired in purchase transactions, less amortization.

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which establishes new standards for the treatment of goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2001 and permits early adoption for companies with a fiscal year beginning after March 15, 2001. SFAS 142 prescribes that amortization of goodwill will cease as of the adoption date. The Company elected to adopt SFAS 142 effective June 1, 2001 and, as a result, there has been no amortization expense recorded during Fiscal 2003 or 2002 (see Note 10 – “Goodwill”). In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company had performed an impairment test within six months of the adoption date and determined that no impairment of goodwill had occurred as of such date. In addition, the Company performs an impairment test at least annually and whenever events and circumstances occur that might affect the carrying value of goodwill. The Company performed an annual impairment test as of May 31, 2003 and 2002 and determined that no impairment of goodwill had occurred as of such dates.

Extinguishment of Debt

     In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 109, "Accounting145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” This Statement eliminates the automatic classification of gain or loss on extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item and requires that such gain or loss be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the criteria of Accounting Principles Board No. 30, “Reporting Results of Operations.” The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 145 effective for its fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 and has reflected gains on settlement of debt as other income instead of as extraordinary items.

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, including estimated amounts for claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”) to the Company. The unpaid claims liability is estimated using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and other statistical analyses and is continually reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect any change in the estimated liability. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in utilization and other factors. However, actual claims incurred could differ from the estimated claims payable amount reported as of May 31, 2003. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes that the unpaid claims liability is adequate.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Income Taxes" on a prospective basis. PriorTaxes

     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 this date,net operating loss carryforwards and to the Company accountedcumulative 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 under APB 11. Statementis 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

     In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 changed148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” which amends the Company'sdisclosure requirements of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. As permitted by SFAS 148, 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. 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. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, taxes fromas all options granted under the deferred method required under APB 11Company’s employee stock options plans had an exercise price equal to the asset and liability method. Under the deferred method, annual income tax expense is matched with pretax accounting income by providing deferred taxes at current tax rates for timing differences between the determination of net earnings for financial reporting and tax purposes.

Note 3 — Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. During the quarter ended February 28, 2003, the Company completed a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and reached an agreement with its former tax advisor with respect to the related tax advisor fees (see Note 13 – “Income Taxes”). Having concluded these settlements, the Company recorded a non-operating gain of $7.7 million during the period. Duringquarter ended February 28, 2003, significantly reducing its working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficit, which amount to $4.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, as of May 31, 2003. The IRS settlement required the Company to make a cash payment in February 2003 of approximately $2.2 million, which was offset in part by $525,000 collected from its former tax advisor. As a result, net cash used in operations during the year ended May 31, 2003 amounted to $1.7 million, which approximates the decrease in cash and cash equivalents during such fiscal 1994, 1993year.

     The Company is currently pursuing sources of financing on terms that would support the Company’s capital needs and 1992,provide available funds for working capital. Management cannot state with any degree of certainty whether any required additional equity or debt financing will be available to it during Fiscal 2004 and, if available, that the convertible subordinated debentures had an antidilutive impactsource of financing would be available on loss per shareterms and accordingly, were excluded fromconditions acceptable to the computation. The weighted average numberCompany. Further, the Company has incurred operating losses during each of common and common equivalent shares used to calculate loss per share was 21,987,000, 21,957,000 and 21,900,000 for the years ended May 31, 1994, 19932003, 2002 and 1992,2001. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, obtaining additional financing as may be required and, ultimately, attaining an operating profit. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 4 — Major Contracts/Customers

(1)During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, the Company had three contracts with one HMO to provide behavioral healthcare services to Florida members. The combined revenue from these contracts accounted for 11.7%, or $3.8 million, of the Company’s operating revenues during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 compared to 17.0%, or $4.7 million, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 and 17.6%, or $3.2 million, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. This HMO has been our customer since November 1998. On September 24, 2002, the Company received a written, 90-day termination notice, dated September 20, 2002, from this client. As such, these contracts covering Florida members terminated effective January 1, 2003. Additionally, the Company has one major contract with an affiliate of this HMO (see Item 2 below).
(2)The Company has one contract to provide behavioral healthcare services to Connecticut members under contract with one HMO. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, this contract represented approximately 9.0%, or $2.9 million, of the Company’s operating revenue compared to 12.7%, or $3.5 million and 3.2%, or $.6 million for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Additionally, this contract provides that the Company, through its contract with this HMO, receives additional funds directly from a state reinsurance program. During the fiscal years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company filed reinsurance claims totaling approximately $3.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Such claims represent cost reimbursements and, as such, are not included in the reported operating revenues and are accounted for as reductions of healthcare operating expenses. As of May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, the Company has reported $0.4 million and $0.6 million as accounts receivable–managed care reinsurance contracts, with $3.1 million and $2.0 million reported as accrued reinsurance claims payable, in the accompanying balance sheet. In the event that the Company does not collect the amounts receivable related to reinsurance amounts, the Company could remain liable for the costs of the specific services provided to members that qualify for such reimbursements.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992 Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. NOTE 2-- OPERATING LOSSES AND LIQUIDITY The Company incurred losses before income taxes totaling approximately $7.6 million for the year ended May 31, 1994, which was principally a result of poor utilization of its freestanding facilities and behavioral medicine contracts and the development and expansion of its behavioral medicine managed care business. In response to these continuing losses, the Company has taken steps to bring expenses in line with revenues by reducing staff, closure and disposition of various freestanding facilities and other cost cutting measures. If utilization at particular facilities continues to deteriorate such that anticipated reductions in operating losses are not achieved, those facilities will also be considered for closure and disposition. The Company recorded no asset writedowns during fiscal 1994 and $4.4 million in asset write-downs during fiscal 1993 primarily related to the recognition of losses on facilities to be sold and revaluation of facilities designated for disposition. These amounts include the estimated future operating losses, selling costs and carrying costs of such facilities until disposition at an assumed future point in time. To the extent that actual costs and time required to dispose of the facilities differ from these estimates, adjustments to the amount written-down may be required. Future operating losses and carrying costs of such facilities will be charged back directly to the carrying value of the respective assets held for sale. Because chemical dependency treatment facilities are special purpose structures, their resale value is negatively affected by the oversupply of beds resulting from the diminished demand for inpatient treatment currently being experienced throughout the industry. In the second quarter of 1993, the Company redesignated various facilities as continuing operations and in the fourth quarter of 1993, closed four facilities, incurring significant operating losses. During fiscal 1994, none of the Company's remaining six operating facilities were designated for disposition. The Company's current assets at May 31, 1994, amounted to approximately $15.1 million and current liabilities were approximately $14.7 million, resulting in working capital of approximately $0.4 million and a current ratio of 1:1. Included in current assets are four hospital facilities and two other properties designated as property and equipment held for sale with a total carrying value of $6.9 million. The Company sold three facilities during fiscal 1994 and is seeking to sell the remaining facilities and properties during fiscal 1995. Should the Company be unable to complete the sale transactions during fiscal 1995, the Company's working capital would be materially adversely affected. The Company's primary use of working capital is to fund operating losses while it seeks to restore profitability to certain of its freestanding facilities and expand its behavioral medicine managed care business. NOTE 3-- ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS On July 3, 1991, RehabCare, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as of May 31, 1991, and the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,500,000 shares of RehabCare common stock. Of the total shares sold to the public, 1,700,000 shares were sold by the Company and 800,000 shares were new shares issued by RehabCare. Net proceeds to the Company totaled approximately $20.6 million, of which approximately $11.3 million was used to pay a portion of the Company's senior secured debt. A gain of approximately $18 million on the sale of the RehabCare shares was recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 1992. The Company's remaining 48% interest (2,300,000 shares) in RehabCare was accounted for on the equity method (see Note 7-- "Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates"). The Company sold its remaining 48% interest in RehabCare to RehabCare during fiscal 1993 and a gain of approximately $13.1 million was recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the second quarter of 1993. Net proceeds SUBSIDIARIES

payable amount is related to timing differences between the authorization date, the date the money is received by the Company, and the date the money is paid to the provider. In certain cases, providers have submitted claims for authorized services having incorrect service codes or otherwise incorrect information that has caused payment to be denied by the Company. In such cases, there are contractual and statutory provisions that allow the provider to appeal a denied claim. If no appeal is received by the Company within the prescribed amount of time, the Company may be required to remit the reinsurance funds back to the appropriate party. For non-reinsurance claims incurred but not reported under this contract, the Company estimates its claims payable using a similar method as that used for other existing contracts. This HMO has been a customer since March 2001. The original contract term ended December 31, 2002 and, in accordance with its terms, was automatically renewed for a one-year period ending December 31, 2003.
(3)During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, the Company had one contract with one HMO, covering Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial business, to provide behavioral healthcare services to Florida members. This agreement represented approximately 15.6%, or $5.0 million, 21.4%, or $5.9 million, and 19.5%, or $3.5 million, of the Company’s operating revenue for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This HMO has been a customer since July 2000. On December 24, 2002, the Company entered into a contract with another HMO that acquired the existing client’s Medicaid business. As a result, the Company continues service to the Medicaid members through its new contract with the acquiring HMO that was effective January 1, 2003. Medicaid business from the new HMO client accounted for 8.5%, or $2.8 million, of the Company’s operating revenues during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003. On December 31, 2002, the Company received a formal termination, effective February 28, 2003, from the existing HMO client with respect to the Medicare and commercial business. In addition, the acquiring HMO, whose contract with the Company is scheduled to renew in January 2004, has verbally advised the Company that it is evaluating whether to manage its members’ behavioral healthcare benefits “in house.”
(4)The Company has contracts with one HMO to provide behavioral healthcare services to contracted commercial, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program members in Texas. This business accounted for approximately 7.5%, or $2.4 million, 7.3%, or $2.0 million, and 3.7%, or $0.7 million, of the Company’s operating revenues during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This HMO has been a customer of the Company since November 1998. The original contract term was for one year and the contract provides for automatic one-year renewal terms. During Fiscal 2003, this HMO customer added Medicaid members that had been covered by another of the Company’s HMO customers that had been placed under conservatorship by the State of Texas. The combined contracts of both HMO customers, including the business transferred to the Company’s current Texas client during Fiscal 2003, represented approximately 11.9%, or $3.9 million, 12.2%, or $3.4 million, and 9.1%, or $1.7 million, of the Company’s operating revenues during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $829,000. In October 1992, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Starting Point, Inc., entered into a joint operating agreement with Century HealthCare of California to manage Newport Harbor Psychiatric Hospital, a 68-bed adolescent psychiatric facility and Starting Point, Orange County, a 70-bed adult psychiatric facility. The Company has an 80% interest in this venture. This agreement was mutually dissolved on February 28, 1993.

Note 14 — Employee Benefit Plan

     The Company had deferred compensation plans ("Financial Security Plans") for its key executives and medical directors. Under provisions of these plans, participants elected to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation to future periods. Upon separation from the Company, participants received payouts of their deferred compensation balances over periods from five to fifteen years. Effective January 1, 1989, participants were not offered the opportunity to defer compensation to future periods. In June 1992, the Company terminated the plan and placed the remaining participants on 5-year payments. The consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 1994 reflects the present value of the obligation to the participants under the plan of $924,000. The Company hasoffers 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.

Nonstatutory options to purchase 160,000 and 280,000 shares were exercisable as of May 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The per share exercise price of options issued under the plans is determined by the Board of Directors, but in no event is the option exercise price so determined less than the then fair market value (as defined in the plans) of the shares at the date of grant. In the case of an ISO, if, on the date of the grant of such option, the optionee is a restricted stockholder (as defined in the plans), the option exercise price cannot be less than 110% offor ISOs must equal or exceed the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, and 65% in the grant.

As of May 31, 2003, there were 128,335 options available for grant and there were 57,499 options outstanding, of which an option or installment thereof may be exercised. In July 1992, options not under any plan were issued to the former Vice Chairman. Options for 1,000,000 shares were granted at an exercise price ranging from $1.50 to $3.00. These10,833 options were exercisable, 25 percent at grant date and each year thereafter. Options for 250,000 shares are currently exercisable at $1.50 and expire in February 1995. The remaining 750,000 options were forfeited. In December 1992, options not under any plan were issued to the former owner of Mental Health Programs, Inc., as an inducement essential to the purchase of Mental Health Programs, Inc. (see Note 3-- "Acquisitions and Dispositions"). Options for 100,000 shares were granted at an exercise price ranging from $1.50 to $3.00. These options are exercisable 25 percent after one year from the grant date and each year thereafter and were contingent upon the continued employment with the Company. In July 1993, the Company terminated the employment agreement, and as a result, the 100,000 options were forfeited. In February 1993, options not under any plan were issued to the Company's Chief Financial Officer. Options for 500,000 shares were granted at an exercise price ranging from $1.00 to $2.00. These options become exercisable 25 percent after one year from the grant date and each year thereafter. 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 $30 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 moreDirectors’ Plan.

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 mergeroption activity 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 $.02 per Right at any time prior to ten days after a person has acquired 25% or more of the Company's common stock. NOTE 15-- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On October 30, 1992, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Courtrelated information for the Eastern District of Missouri against RehabCare Corporation ("RehabCare") seeking damages for violations by RehabCare of the securities laws of the United States, for common law fraud and for breach of contract (Case No. 4-92CV002194-SNL). The Company seeks relief of damages in the lost benefit of certain stockholder appreciation rights in an amount in excess of $3.6 million and punitive damages. On May 18, 1993, the District Court denied a motion for summary judgement filed by RehabCare. On June 16, 1993, RehabCare filed a counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgement with respect to the rights of both parties under the stock redemption agreement, an injunction enjoining the Company from taking action under stock redemption or restated shareholders agreements and damages. The Company has filed a motion with the court to strike RehabCare's request for damages for attorney's fees and costs on the grounds that such relief is not permitted by law nor authorized by the agreements between the parties. This case was scheduled for trial on May 9, 1994, but has been continued on the court's own initiative and the new trial date has not been set. Management believes that the Company's allegations have merit and intends to vigorously pursue this suit. Management further believes that should RehabCare prevail at trial on its request for such attorneys fees and costs, such fees and costs would not materially affect the financial statements of the Company. In connection with the proposed sale of hospitals to CMP Properties, Inc. (see Note 5-- "Property and Equipment for Sale"), the Company advanced $1.1 million to a former consultant which was to be returned in the event the transaction was terminated. These advances were to be secured by the common stock of an unrelated company. The shares of common stock pledged were purported to be in the possession of the Company's former legal firm as collateral for the advances, but were not provided to the Company when the transaction was terminated. The Company is currently in litigation with the former consultant and legal firm to recover the advances. The Company is currently undergoing a payroll tax audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for calendar years 1983 through 1991. The IRS agent conducting the audit has asserted that certain physicians and psychologists and other staff engaged as independent contractors by the Company should have been treated as employees for payroll tax purposes. On April 8, 1991, the Company received a proposed assessment related to this assertion claiming additional taxes and penalties due totaling approximately $19.4 million for calendar years 1983 through 1988. The Company filed a protest with the IRS and contested the proposed assessment with the Appeals Office of the Internal Revenue Service in St. Louis, Missouri. The Appeals Office issued a reduced assessment in the amount of approximately $6,300,000, plus penalties and interest of $6,500,000. The IRS is also examining the Company's employment tax returns for the years 1989 through 1991, and the agent conducting the examination proposed the assessment of additional taxes for those years in the approximate amount of $1,600,000, plus penalties and interest in an undetermined amount. While management believes the Company has strong arguments to support 40 41 COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992 its treatment of the payments to independent contractors to whom substantially all of the assessment relates, the Company has submitted an offer in compromise to the IRS for the calendar years 1983 through 1991 for $5 million. A reserve has been established with respect to this matter to cover expenses the Company expects to incur; however, there can be no assurance that such reserves are adequate until a formal settlement is reached with the IRS. The Company and RehabCare, in May 1991, entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement providing for the Company to indemnify RehabCare for any claims of income or payroll taxes due for all periods through February 28, 1991. The Company has established a reserve with respect to covering expenses the Company expects RehabCare to incur under the Tax Sharing Agreement. The federal income tax returns of the Company for its fiscal years ended 1984 and 1987 through 1991, have been examined by the IRS. The Company has provided the IRS with satisfactory documentary support for the majority of items questioned and those items have been deleted from the proposed assessment and accepted as originally filed. The remaining items have been agreed to and resulted in a disallowance of approximately $229,000 in deductions which will be offset against the Company's net operating losses available for carryover. The examination also included the review of the Company's claim for refund of approximately $205,000 relating to an amended return for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1992. During completion of the audit, the IRS noted that the Company had received excess refunds representing its AMT liability of approximately $666,000 in 1990 and 1991 from the carryback of net operating losses to the fiscal years ended May 31 1988is as follows:

Other Commitments and Contingencies

(1)Contracts with two existing clients require the Company to maintain performance bonds throughout the contract terms. At May 31, 2003, the Company maintained performance bonds of $1,200,000 and $600,000 in compliance with these requirements.
(2)The Company would remain liable to perform the services covered under subcapitation agreements if the parties with which the Company subcapitates were unable to fulfill their responsibilities under such agreements.
(3)The Company is subject to the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). The purpose of the HIPAA provisions is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system through standardization of the electronic data interchange of certain administrative and financial transactions and, also, to protect the security and privacy of protected health information. Entities subject to HIPAA include some healthcare providers and all healthcare plans. To meet the specific requirements of HIPAA, the Company recently determined it would need to make a significant investment in its current information system or in a new information system that would better meet the future needs of the Company. As a result, the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent with Qualifacts Systems, Inc. (“Qualifacts) to design a new, customized management information system that will enable the Company to meet HIPAA requirements. The Company expects to incur approximately $0.4 million of costs to customize the Qualifacts system and activate the licenses needed for Qualifacts and other, related third-party software.

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.”
In July 2002, the Company entered into a Repayment Agreement with the Department to resolve this liability, recorded at $950,000 at May 31, 2002, at a substantially reduced amount. The terms of the Repayment Agreement required the Company to either 1) pay one lump sum of $450,000 to the Department on or before September 1, 2002 or 2) beginning September 1, 2002, the Company would be required to make three monthly installment payments of $160,000 each, with the last payment being due on or before November 1, 2002, for a total of $480,000 as full and complete satisfaction of the outstanding liability. As of November 30, 2002, after making three installment payments to the Department of $160,000 each, the Company had fully satisfied its obligations under the terms of the settlement agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a non-operating gain of $470,000 on settlement of the liability during the quarter ended November 30, 2002.

     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,business, in which case claims may exceed insurance policy limits and the Company or a subsidiaryany one of its subsidiaries may have exposure to a liability that is not covered by insurance. Management believes that the outcomeis not aware of any such lawsuits will notthat could have a material adverse impact on the Company'sCompany’s financial statements. 41 42

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. Information required is set forthTRANSACTIONS

     For information relating to the employment agreements with executive officers, stock options, stay bonuses, stock grants, and other compensation, see the information included in Item 11 above. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, two executive officers served on the Board of Directors of the Company and, also, on the Board of Directors for each of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary corporations.

Item 14. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of the Company’s Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls.Within the 90 days prior to filing this report on Form 10-K, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), and its “internal controls and procedures for financial reporting” (“Internal Controls”). This evaluation (the “Controls Evaluation”) was done under the caption "Compensation Committee Interlockssupervision and Insider Participation"with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that in this section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K we present the conclusions of the CEO and the CFO about the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls based on and as of the date of the Controls Evaluation.

Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls.As provided in Rule 13a-14 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Disclosure Controls are defined as meaning controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of insuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, designed and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls include, within the definition under the Exchange Act, and without limitation, controls and procedures designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is accumulated and communicated to our management including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Scope of the Controls Evaluation.The evaluation made by our CEO and CFO of our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the controls’ implementation by the Company and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Form 10-K. In the course of the Controls Evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation will be done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning controls effectiveness can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls and to make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls and the Internal Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.

Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” in the proxy statement forCompany’s Internal Controls, or whether the 1994 annual meetingCompany had identified any acts of shareholdersfraud involving personnel who have a significant role in the Company’s Internal Controls. In the professional auditing literature, “significant deficiencies” are referred to as “reportable conditions”; these are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A “material weakness” is incorporated hereindefined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by reference. 42 43 PART IV ITEM 14. EXHIBITS, FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULESerror or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other controls matters in the Controls Evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accordance with our on-going procedures.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K. (A) 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IncludedSUBSIDIARIES

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in Part IIall control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with its policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

In accordance with SEC requirements, our CEO and CFO each have confirmed that, since the date of the Controls Evaluation to the date of this report:Annual Report of Independent Public Accountants Independent Auditors' Report Consolidated Balance Sheets, May 31, 1994on Form 10-K, there have been no significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that could significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and 1993 Consolidated Statements of Operations, Years Ended May 31, 1994, 1993material weaknesses.

Conclusion.Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and 1992 Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, Years Ended May 31, 1994, 1993CFO have each concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and 1992 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Years Ended May 31, 1994, 1993its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and 1992 NotesCFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared, and that our Internal Controls are effective to Consolidatedprovide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
