Recent Developments
On October 4, 2011, Continucare merged with and into CAB Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Metropolitan”), with Continucare continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the merger, Continucare became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metropolitan.
As of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Continucare, other than any shares owned by Continucare or Metropolitan or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive $6.25 in cash, without interest, and 0.0414 of a share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Metropolitan (the “Merger Consideration”). In addition, each issued and outstanding option to purchase Continucare common stock became fully vested and was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an amount of cash equal to $6.45 less the per share exercise price of the option, subject to withholding taxes (the “Option Consideration”). Metropolitan paid an aggregate of $405 million in cash and issued an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of its common stock to Continucare’s stockholders and option holders in consideration for their shares of Continucare common stock and options to purchase shares of Continucare common stock.
In connection with the completion of the Merger, Continucare has notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that each outstanding share of Continucare common stock was converted in the Merger into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and has requested that the NYSE file a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the SEC with respect to Continucare’s common stock. The NYSE filed the Form 25 with the SEC on October 5, 2011. Trading of Continucare’s common stock on the NYSE was suspended as of the opening of trading on October 5, 2011.

ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview of Compensation Program
Our Compensation Committee administers the compensation program for our executive officers and also determines compensation for our non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee reviews and determines all executive officer compensation, administers our equity incentive plans (including reviewing and approving grants to our executive officers), makes recommendations to shareholders with respect to proposals related to compensation matters and generally consults with management regarding employee compensation programs. Based upon the Compensation Committee’s annual review of the Company’s compensation policies and practices, the Compensation Committee determined that the risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Compensation Committee’s charter reflects these responsibilities, and the Compensation Committee and the Board periodically review and, if appropriate, revise the charter. The Board determines the Compensation Committee’s membership. During Fiscal 2011 and through the Effective Time, Robert J. Cresci, (Chairman) Neil Flanzraich, Marvin A. Sackner, M.D., and A. Marvin Strait, C.P.A., each of whom are non-employee independent directors, comprised the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee meets at regularly scheduled times during the year, and it may also hold specially scheduled meetings and take action by written consent. At Board meetings, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee reports on Compensation Committee actions and recommendations, with all discussions of executive compensation occurring in executive sessions of the Board.
Our executive officers, each of whom are included in the Summary Compensation Table below, are Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr., Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, Fernando L. Fernandez, Senior Vice President — Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, Luis H. Izquierdo, Senior Vice President — Marketing and Business Development, and Gemma Rosello, Executive Vice President — Operations. Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, these individuals are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Named Executive Officers.”
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The core objectives of our compensation programs are to secure and retain the services of high quality executives and to provide compensation to our executives that are commensurate and aligned with our performance and advances both short and long-term interests of ours and our shareholders. We seek to achieve these objectives through three principal compensation programs: a base salary, long-term equity incentives, in the form of periodic grants of stock options, and an annual cash incentive bonus. Base salaries are designed primarily to attract and retain talented executives. Periodic grants of stock options are designed to provide a strong incentive for achieving long-term results by aligning interests of our executives with those of our shareholders, while at the same time encouraging our executives to remain with us. Annual cash incentives are designed to motivate and reward the achievement of selected financial goals, generally tied to profitability. The Compensation Committee does not use benchmarking against peer groups to establish the compensation levels of the Named Executive Officers nor does it retain a compensation consultant to advise them on compensation issues. The Compensation Committee believes that our compensation program for the Named Executive Officers is appropriately based upon our performance and the individual performance and level of responsibility of the executive officer.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
The Compensation Committee makes all compensation decisions for the Named Executive Officers. Our Chief Executive Officer works closely with the Compensation Committee on compensation matters. The Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of each of the Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President of Operations, whose performance is reviewed by the Compensation Committee) and the compensation paid to those individuals during the past fiscal year, and makes recommendations regarding compensation to be paid to those individuals during the next fiscal year. The conclusions reached and recommendations based on these reviews, including those with respect to setting and adjusting base salary, annual cash incentive awards and stock option awards, are presented to the Compensation Committee. Following a review of these conclusions and recommendations, the Compensation Committee will make compensation decisions for these executives as it deems appropriate, including approving the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations or modifying upward or downward any recommended amounts or awards to the Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee meets with the Chief Executive Officer annually to discuss his performance, but ultimately decisions regarding his compensation are made solely by the Compensation Committee based on its deliberations.
Named Executive Officer Compensation Components
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, base salary, an annual cash incentive bonus opportunity and long-term equity incentive compensation were the principal components of compensation for the Named Executive Officers.
A significant portion of total compensation is comprised of base salary, which enables us to attract and retain talented executive management through the payment of reasonable current income. Long-term equity incentives, in the form of stock options, which generally vest over a period of four years, also form a meaningful percentage of overall compensation which is tied directly to increases in the price of our common stock and also serves the goal of retaining key management. Finally, the annual cash incentive bonus, which historically has been a smaller portion of total cash compensation, provides additional current income to encourage the attainment of annual profitability goals. In making decisions with respect to any element of a Named Executive Officer’s compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the total compensation that may be awarded to the executive. There is no pre-established target or formula for allocating among these three elements of compensation. Rather, the Compensation Committee strives to apportion a mix between cash and equity compensation to provide meaningful current income and to motivate the attainment of long-term value for our shareholders.
The Compensation Committee generally makes determinations regarding Named Executive Officer compensation at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee following completion of each fiscal year, which typically occurs in September. At this meeting, the Compensation Committee will typically determine base salaries for the upcoming fiscal year, the amount of any cash incentive bonus payable to the Named Executive Officers under the annual cash incentive plan for the preceding fiscal year, the terms of the annual cash incentive plan for the upcoming fiscal year and the grant of any equity incentive awards.
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee approves each Named Executive Officer’s base salary by considering the individual’s duties and responsibilities. In setting base salaries for the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee undertakes an annual review in consultation with and based upon recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee’s review includes, among other things, the functional and decision-making responsibilities of each position, the significance of the Named Executive Officer’s specific area of individual responsibility to our financial performance and achievement of overall goals and the experience and past performance and expected future contribution of each executive officer. Decisions regarding increases in base salary also take into account the executive’s current salary. With respect to base salary decisions for the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee makes an assessment of Mr. Pfenniger’s past performance as Chief Executive Officer and its expectations as to his future contributions, as well as the factors described above for the other Named Executive Officers, including evaluating his individual performance and our financial condition, operating results and attainment of strategic objectives.

Table of Contents
When setting or approving base salary determinations, the Committee does not use any specific formula, factors, or particular criteria that must be met by each executive officer and does not assign any relative weight to any factors or criteria it considers. Rather, the Committee exercises its judgment and discretion by considering all factors that it deems relevant at the time of such determination. For example, in determining base salary increases for Fiscal 2011, the Committee considered improvements in the Company’s results of operations and financial position. In Fiscal 2010 revenue increased by 10%, income from operations increased by 46%, operating margins increased to 12% from 9% and net income increased by 45%. Additionally, the Company’s financial position strengthened as cash and cash equivalents increased by 170%, working capital increased and the Company continued to operate with virtually no long-term debt. The Committee further noted that the Company continued a multi-year trend of year-over-year improved financial performance. The Committee believes these improvements were a result of the efforts of Mr. Pfenniger and the Company’s other executive officers in executing the Company’s strategic growth plan. However, the Committee believes that it is more appropriate to acknowledge recognition of these achievements in determining stock option awards and bonus payments and generally does not approve a material increase in base salary, absent a significant promotion or other significant change in responsibility of the executive officer. As a result, for Fiscal 2011, the Committee granted our executive officers modest base salary increases which were, in the Committee’s judgment, appropriate, given the general economic and market conditions.
The Chief Executive Officer’s Fiscal 2011 base salary increased 5.6% from Fiscal 2010 and the other Named Executive Officers’ Fiscal 2011 base salaries increased in the range of 2.9% to 6.2% from Fiscal 2010. Effective September 2010, the Named Executive Officers’ Fiscal 2011 base salaries were as follows: Mr. Pfenniger — $475,000; Mr. Fernandez — $256,000; Mr. Izquierdo — $250,000 and Ms. Rosello — $270,000.
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
Our long-term equity incentive compensation program provides an opportunity for the Named Executive Officers to increase their stake in our Company through grants of options to purchase shares of our common stock and encourages the Named Executive Officers to manage our Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. Each grant allows the executive to acquire shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date over a specified period of time not to exceed 10 years. Generally, the options become exercisable in a series of installments over a four-year period, contingent upon the executive officer’s continued employment with us. Accordingly, the option grant will provide a positive return to the executive officer only if he or she remains employed by us during the vesting period, and then only if the market price of the shares appreciates over the option term.
The Compensation Committee’s grant of stock options to the Named Executive Officers is entirely discretionary, subject to any limitations set by our Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, and is generally made on a once-a-year basis. Decisions by the Compensation Committee regarding grants of stock options to the Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President of Operations) are generally made based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, and includes the consideration of the executive officer’s current position with us, the executive officer’s past and expected future performance and the other factors discussed in the determination of base salaries. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers the number of outstanding and previously granted options of the executive, as well as the other components of his or her total compensation in determining the appropriate grant. As with base salary determinations, the Committee does not use any specific formula, factors, or particular criteria that must be met by each executive officer and does not assign any relative weight to any factors or criteria it considers when granting stock options. Rather, the Committee exercises its judgment and discretion by considering all factors that it deems relevant at the time of such grants. For example, in determining grants of stock options made in Fiscal 2011, the Committee considered the most significant factors driving our shareholder value, including: (i) our Fiscal 2010 results of operations and financial position, including our growth in revenue, income from operations, operating margins and net income, as described above in connection with base salary determinations, (ii) each executive officer’s position with the Company, and (iii) each executive officer’s past and expected future contribution to matters that drive long-term shareholder value. In evaluating each executive officer’s past and expected future contribution to matters that drive long-term shareholder value, the Committee reviewed the following factors: (i) the achievement of strategic and operating objectives, (ii) the execution, implementation, and integration of our acquisition strategy, and (iii) our history of revenue and profit growth and improvement in financial position. Moreover, these factors were not quantified or given any particular weighting in determining grants of stock options.

Table of Contents
Rather, the Committee relied on its own business experience and judgment in determining the grants. After reviewing the factors set forth above, the Committee determined the amounts of grants to be awarded based on the Committee’s view of the relative responsibility of each executive officer’s position with the Company. As a result, our Chief Executive Officer received a significantly larger grant of stock options than our other executive officers. Our Senior Vice President — Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, and Executive Vice President — Operations received the same grant of stock options in Fiscal 2011, as the Committee viewed these positions as having a similar amount of relative responsibility in contributing to the factors driving long-term shareholder value during Fiscal 2011. Our Senior Vice President — Marketing and Business Development received a smaller grant of stock options in Fiscal 2011 than our other executive officers, as the Committee viewed this position as having less impact on the factors driving long-term shareholder value than the positions of Senior Vice President — Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, and Executive Vice President — Operations during Fiscal 2011.
In September 2010, the following grants of options were made to our Named Executive Officers in connection with their services for Fiscal 2010: Mr. Pfenniger — option to purchase 250,000 shares; Ms. Rosello — option to purchase 150,000 shares; Mr. Fernandez — option to purchase 150,000 shares; and Mr. Izquierdo — option to purchase 50,000 shares. Each of the options has an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and which vest in equal annual amounts over a four-year period.
We have generally approved grants of stock options in specific amounts as part of an executive officer’s initial employment with us. We do not have any program or practice to time annual or other grants of stock options in coordination with the release of material non-public information or otherwise.
Annual Cash Incentive Program
We maintain an annual cash incentive bonus plan which provides for the payment of cash bonuses to eligible members of our management team, including the Named Executive Officers. The purpose of the cash incentive bonus plan is to provide incentives to those employees who have the ability to impact operating performance, to address and achieve annual performance goals and to participate in our growth and profitability. Under the terms of the plan for Fiscal 2011, a pool was established from which bonuses would be paid in an amount equal to 20% of the amount by which our pre-tax earnings for Fiscal 2011 exceeded a pre-determined threshold of $36 million, which approximated our pre-tax income for Fiscal 2010. Distributions of awards from the bonus pool to eligible employees, including the Named Executive Officers are determined by the Compensation Committee, which considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer for all participants other than himself and the Executive Vice President of Operations. The bonus payable from the pool to the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President of Operations are based solely upon Compensation Committee deliberations. As with the determination of base salary and grants of stock options, the Committee does not follow any specific formula, factors, or particular criteria that must be met by each executive officer and does not assign any relative weight to any factors or criteria it considers in determining amounts to distribute from the bonus pool to each executive officer. For example, in making distributions from the bonus pool in October 2011, the Committee considered the most significant factors driving our shareholder value, including: (i) our Fiscal 2011 results of operations and financial position, including our growth in revenue, income from operations, operating margins and net income, as described above in connection with base salary determinations and (ii) each executive officer’s position, responsibilities, and relative contribution to the achievement of our business plan. Moreover, these factors were not quantified nor given any particular weighting in determining amounts to distribute from the bonus pool to each executive officer. Rather the Committee relied on its own business experience and judgment in determining distributions from the bonus pool. After reviewing the factors set forth above, the Committee determined the distributions to be awarded based on the Committee’s view of the relative responsibility of each executive officer’s position with the Company. As a result, our Chief Executive Officer received a larger distribution than our other executive officers. Our Senior Vice President — Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary and Executive Vice President — Operations received the same distribution in October 2011, as the Committee viewed these positions as having a similar amount of relative responsibility in contributing to the achievement of our business plan during Fiscal 2011. Our Senior Vice President — Marketing and Business Development received a smaller distribution in October 2011 than our other executive officers, as the Committee viewed this position as having less impact on the factors driving the achievement of our business plan than the positions of Senior Vice President — Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary and Executive Vice President — Operations during Fiscal 2011.

In August 2011, the Compensation Committee met to determine awards under the plan for Fiscal 2011 to the Named Executive Officers. Based on the Committee’s consideration of the factors noted above, and based upon Mr. Pfenniger’s recommendations with respect to the Named Executive Officers other than himself and the Executive Vice President of Operations, the Compensation Committee awarded annual cash incentive program compensation to the Named Executive Officers as follows: Mr. Pfenniger — $130,000; Mr. Fernandez — $90,000; Ms. Rosello — $90,000 and Mr. Izquierdo — $70,000.
Other Compensation and Benefits
Named Executive Officers receive additional compensation in the form of vacation, medical, 401(k), and other benefits generally available to all of our full time employees. While we generally do not provide perquisites to our executive officers, certain Named Executive Officers received modest automobile allowances and we paid medical and life insurance premiums on behalf of all of the Named Executive Officers which exceed the premiums paid by us on behalf of our non-executive employees.
As a result of the Merger, the Company did not consider the results of the shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation presented at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on February 24, 2011 in determining compensation policies and decisions.
Internal Revenue Code Limits on Deductibility of Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any fiscal year to the corporation’s chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated executive officers as of the end of any fiscal year. However, the statute exempts qualifying performance-based compensation from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met.
The Compensation Committee believes that it is generally in our best interest to attempt to structure performance-based compensation, including stock option grants and annual bonuses, to the Named Executive Officers, each of whom are subject to Section 162(m), in a manner that satisfies the statute’s requirements for full tax deductibility for the compensation. However, the Compensation Committee also recognizes the need to retain flexibility to make compensation decisions that may not meet Section 162(m) standards when necessary to enable us to meet our overall objectives, even if we may not deduct all of the compensation. However, because of ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder, no assurance can be given, notwithstanding our efforts, that compensation intended by us to satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) will in fact do so.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested — Fiscal 2011
No stock options were exercised by the Named Executive Officers in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Also, there were no outstanding stock awards during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control
The Named Executive Officers do not have employment agreements with us and are all employed on an “at will” basis. We do not have arrangements with any of our Named Executive Officers providing for additional benefits or payments in connection with a termination of employment, change in job responsibility or change-in-control. Grants of stock options to all employees eligible to receive such grants under our Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan vest immediately in the event of a change in control; therefore, no separate disclosure is presented herein with respect to the acceleration of stock options held by the Named Executive Officers upon a change of control under the terms of this stock incentive plan.
In connection with the Merger, Richard Pfenniger and Fernando Fernandez each entered into a Change in Control and Separation Agreement with Metropolitan, pursuant to which, upon completion of the Merger (a) Metropolitan will pay to Mr. Pfenniger $475,000 (less applicable taxes) over a twelve month period beginning no later than 30 days after completion of the Merger in accordance with Metropolitan’s normal payroll policies and a lump sum payment of $20,262, which is the value of one year of welfare benefits and (b) Metropolitan will pay to Mr. Fernandez $256,000 (less applicable taxes) over a twelve month period beginning no later than 90 days after completion of the Merger in accordance with Metropolitan’s normal payroll policies and a lump sum payment of $32,886, which is the value of one year of welfare benefits. In addition, Mr. Pfenniger’s employment terminated at the Effective Time and Mr. Fernandez’ employment will terminate on February 15, 2012 (or prior to that date on 30 days’ written notice from one party to the other), and both Mr. Pfenniger and Mr. Fernandez will be paid in one single payment on Metropolitan’s first payroll date after termination of employment an amount equal to: (i) any accrued but unpaid base salary and any bonus payments as of the termination of employment, (ii) any payments with respect to vacations earned but unused through the termination of employment, and (iii) any amount due as reimbursement of expenses incurred before the termination of employment. The Change in Control and Separation Agreements also contain certain covenants regarding confidentiality of information, non-competition and non-solicitation of Continucare employees by each of Mr. Pfenniger and Mr. Fernandez applicable until the first anniversary of the termination of his employment.
Compensation of Directors
Our Compensation Committee determines director compensation. The Compensation Committee strives to set a mix of cash and equity-based compensation in amounts which fairly compensate the directors for their expected time commitments and responsibilities in serving on the Board and which aligns the directors interests with the long term interests of shareholders. Each of our non-employee directors received a cash retainer of $50,000 for their service on the Board in Fiscal 2011. In addition, for Fiscal 2011, the Chairman of each of the Nominating Committee and the Compensation Committee received an additional cash retainer of $10,000 and the Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional cash retainer of $15,000. Also, each of our non-employee directors were granted fully vested options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock during Fiscal 2011.

ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE |
The Board of Directors considered transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his immediate family and Continucare and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Board of Directors also examined transactions and relationships between directors or their known affiliates and members of our senior management or their known affiliates. The purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent under the listing standards of the NYSE or NYSE Amex and applicable law. The Board of Directors affirmatively determined that a majority of our directors, including Mr. Cresci, Mr. Flanzraich, Dr. Frost, Dr. Sackner, Ms. Simkin and Mr. Strait, are “independent” directors within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE and NYSE Amex and applicable law.
The Audit Committee reviews and approves transactions in which Continucare was or is to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 annually and any of our directors, executive officers or their immediate family members had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We have a written policy stating that the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and, if appropriate, approving or ratifying any related party transactions. The related party transaction will not be approved unless at a minimum it is for our benefit and is upon terms no less favorable to us than if the related party transaction was with an unrelated third party. In Fiscal 2011, no related party transaction occurred where this process was not followed.
ITEM 14. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES |
The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, for the audit of our annual financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, fees for audit-related services, tax services and all other services.
Fiscal 2011 | Fiscal 2010 | |||||||
Audit fees (a) | $ | 826,307 | $ | 804,076 | ||||
Audit related fees (b) | — | — | ||||||
Tax fees (c) | 33,000 | 24,000 | ||||||
All other fees (d) | — | — | ||||||
|
|
|
| |||||
$ | 859,307 | $ | 828,076 |
(a) | Audit fees consist of fees and expenses associated with the fiscal year audit and the audit of internal control over financial reporting, and the reviews of the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. |
(b) | No audit related fees were incurred in Fiscal 2011 and 2010. |
(c) | Tax fees consist of services provided for tax compliance. |
(d) | No other fees were incurred in Fiscal 2011 and 2010. |
All audit related services, tax services and other services were pre-approved by our Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by Ernst & Young LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. Our Audit Committee must review and pre-approve both audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and shall not engage the independent registered public accounting firm to perform any non-audit services prohibited by law or regulation. At each Audit Committee meeting, our Audit Committee receives updates on the services actually provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, and management may present additional services for pre-approval. Our Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to evaluate and approve engagements on behalf of the Audit Committee in the event that a need arises for pre-approval between regular Audit Committee meetings. If the Chairman so approves any such engagements, he will report that approval to the full Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.

Each year, the independent registered public accounting firm’s retention to audit our financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, including the associated fee, is approved by our Audit Committee before the filing of the preceding year’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
