ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         Continucare Corporation ("Continucare" or the "Company") will not make
the April 30, 1999 semi-annual payment of interest on its 8% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2002 (the "Debentures"). Should the Company not make
such payment for a period of 30 days after such payment has become due and
payable, such failure would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture
dated as of October 30, 1997 between the Company and American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, as Trustee. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then
the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding securities under the Indenture may declare the principal of all the
securities to be due and payable immediately, including premium, if any, and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Company has $45,000,000 principal
amount of outstanding Debentures. The amount of interest due as of April 30,
1999 was $1,800,000.

         There can be no assurance that the Company will make the payment during
the grace period, that if an Event of Default were to occur on or after May 30,
1999 that the payments due under the Indenture would not be accelerated or that
the Company would be able to refinance the outstanding obligations under the
Indenture.

         Also, in April 1999, the Company entered into an amendment to its
senior credit facility, which provided, among other things, for repayment of the
outstanding principal balance of $1.0 million to such lender by December 31,
1999. The Company continues to not be in compliance with certain non-monetary
covenants under such credit facility as previously disclosed in the Company's
Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 1998.

         Statements in this document that are not historical facts are hereby
identified as "forward looking statements" for the purpose of the safe harbor
provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company cautions that such "forward looking
statements," wherever they occur in this document or in other statements
attributable to the Company are necessarily estimates reflecting the best
judgment of the Company's senior management and involve a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
suggested by the "forward looking statements." Such "forward looking statements"
should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors set forth
from time to time in the Company's reports and registration statements filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any intent or
obligation to update "forward looking statements."
