ITEM 1.  CHANGE OF CONTROL

         On August 3, 2001, Continucare Corporation (the "Company") announced
the restructuring of its outstanding Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2002
(the "Notes"). Frost Nevada Limited Partnership ("Frost Nevada"), an entity
controlled by Dr. Phillip Frost, a director of the Company, purchased in a
private transaction with certain holders of the Notes $6,219,511 principal
amount of Notes (the "Purchased Debt") and 9,640,244 shares of common stock of
the Company (the "Purchased Shares"). Frost Nevada immediately exchanged the
Purchased Debt for (i) 6,219,511 shares of common stock of the Company and (ii)
a new convertible note (the "New Note") in the principal amount of $912,195,
with an October 2005 maturity date. At such time Dr. Phillip Frost was deemed to
beneficially own 55.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock, assuming
conversion of the New Note. The parties have agreed that the effective date of
the transaction is June 30, 2001. The foregoing summary of the New Note is
qualified in its entirety by a copy of the New Note attached hereto as Exhibit
4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

         Frost Nevada subsequently sold approximately 13% of the Purchased
Shares, 13% of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Purchased Debt and transferred 13% of the New Note in a private transaction to a
group of six investors. As a result of the foregoing, Dr. Phillip Frost
beneficially owns 50% of the Company's outstanding common stock, assuming
conversion of the New Note, or 49% of the Company's outstanding common stock,
prior to giving effect to the conversion of the New Note.
