Income from operations during fiscal 2007 increased 24% to $9.9 million compared to $7.9 million for fiscal 2006.

Balance Sheet

Continucare's cash and cash equivalents were $7.3 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $10.7 million at June 30, 2006, while working capital was $16.6 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $15.6 million at June 30, 2006.

"We are very pleased with the financial results for both our fourth fiscal quarter and our full fiscal year," said Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr., Continucare's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our revenues, profits and cash flow from operations increased significantly, and at fiscal year-end our balance sheet remained virtually free of long-term indebtedness. We are also pleased that while achieving these results we took actions to support future growth. These actions include the acquisition of the Miami Dade Health Centers, which significantly expanded the breadth and scope of our operations. In addition, during fiscal 2007 we conceived of and began the effort to launch Continucare ValuClinic™, a new line of retail-based convenient care clinics. We currently expect to open our first ValuClinic locations this Fall. Overall, this is a very exciting period for Continucare and we are optimistic about our prospects."

Stock Repurchase Program

Under our previously announced stock repurchase program, our Board authorized the buy back of up to 2.5 million shares of our common stock. Approximately 1.34 million shares remain available for repurchase under this program and management intends to repurchase shares under the program based on its assessment of market conditions from time to time. Purchases will be reported on a quarterly basis in Continucare's periodic reports filed with the SEC.
