PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Comprehensive Care Corporation (the "Company") is a Delaware
corporation organized in January 1969. The Company is transitioning from
predominantly a provider of treatment programs for psychiatric disorders and
chemical dependency (including alcohol and drug) to a managed care behavioral
health care company providing a continuum of services. Such 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 and counseling. Programs are provided at freestanding
facilities operated by the Company and at independent general hospitals under
contracts with the Company. A wholly-owned subsidiary, CareUnit, Inc.,
develops, markets and manages the Company's contract programs. During fiscal
1994, psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment programs accounted for
approximately 86% of the Company's operating revenues. AccessCare, Inc.
("AccessCare") a wholly-owned subsidiary primarily engaged in 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.

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.

(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 severity 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 treatment 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 needs of the patient
are all addressed in treatment.
Facilities offer levels of care that can form a continuum, including
detoxification, inpatient, residential, day treatment and outpatient programs
which meet 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 history as well as a physical
examination that includes those diagnostic studies ordered by the patient's
attending physician. Throughout the course 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 can range from several weeks to several months.
SOURCES OF REVENUES
During fiscal 1994, approximately 57% of the Company's operating
revenues from freestanding operations were received from private sources
(private health insurers, managed care companies and directly from patients)
and the balance from Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental programs.
Private health insurers offer plans that typically include coverage for
psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment. In many instances, the level 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 by the patient, who is often unable to meet his or her commitment
in its entirety or is unable to pay as rapidly as the insurance company. This
pattern tends to increase bad debts and days outstanding in receivables.
Private insurance plans vary significantly in their methods of payment,
including cost, cost plus, prospective rate, negotiated rate, percentage of
charges, and billed charges. Health insurers 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
<PAGE> 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 negative effect on its revenues.
Employers, union trusts and other major purchasers of health care
services have become increasingly aggressive in pursuing cost containment. To
the extent that major purchasers are self-insured, they actively negotiate with
hospitals, Health Maintenance Organizations ("HMOs") and Preferred Provider
Organizations ("PPOs") for lower rates. Those major purchasers that are
insured or use a third-party administrator expect the insurer or administrator
to control claims costs. In addition, many major purchasers of health care
services are reconsidering the benefits 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 of the amount of services
provided to the patient or the length 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 applicable to
these facilities). Medicare utilization at those facilities participating in
the Medicare program averaged approximately 34% in fiscal 1994. The Company
does not believe that 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 due 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, appropriateness and quality of care given
Medicare program patients. In instances where the medical necessity of an
admission or procedure is challenged by the PRO, payment may be delayed,
reduced or denied in its entirety. Amounts denied because of medical review
may not be charged to the service recipient, and are absorbed by the hospital.
In non-emergency admissions (which encompass most of the Company's admissions)
review is performed prior to the patient's arrival at the hospital. In the
event that the PRO does not approve inpatient admission, the patient may be
admitted for outpatient treatment, referred 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.
The 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 to have
a material adverse impact on the Company's business.

<PAGE> 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
to those of the Company. The Company has faced generally increasing
competition in the last few years. Some of the hospitals that compete 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.

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 conjunction 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
<PAGE> 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 providers
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 under
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.

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
that will be exempted from prosecution or other enforcement action under the
illegal remuneration provisions of the fraud 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 exist with respect to the Company.
In April 1989, the Inspector General of the Department of HHS issued 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
<PAGE> 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 the 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 its ability to obtain
third-party reimbursement. All of the Company's freestanding facilities are
accredited and the hospitals under contract with CareUnit, Inc. have received
or have applied for such accreditation.
To develop standards that effectively evaluate the structure and
function of medical and quality management systems in managed care
organizations, the National Committee for Quality Assurance ("NCQA") has
developed in conjunction with the managed care industry, health care
purchasers, state regulators and consumers, an extensive review and development
process. The Standards for Accreditation of Managed Care Organizations used by
NCQA reviewers to evaluate a managed care organization address the following
areas: quality improvement, utilization management, credentialing, members'
rights and responsibilities, preventative care services guidelines and medical
records. These standards validate that a managed care organization is founded
on principals of quality and is continuously improving the clinical care and
services provided. NCQA also utilizes Health Plan Data and Information Set
("HEDIS") which is a core set of performance measurements developed to respond
to complex but simply defined employer needs as standards for patient and
customer satisfaction. AccessCare is accredited by NCQA and has adopted HEDIS.
ADMINISTRATION AND EMPLOYEES
The Company's executive and administrative offices are located in
Chesterfield, Missouri, where management controls operations, business
development, legal and accounting functions, governmental and statistical
reporting, research and treatment program evaluation.
At August 3, 1994, the Company employed approximately 32 persons in its
corporate and administrative offices, 326 persons in its freestanding
facilities, 104 persons assigned to CareUnit, Inc., 37 persons assigned to
AccessCare, Inc. and 2 persons in other operations. Many of the physicians and
psychiatrists who are the medical directors of the Company's contract units,
the psychologists serving on treatment teams and the physicians utilizing the
facilities operated by the Company are not employed by the Company and are
treated as independent contractors. The Company is in the process of reviewing
the treatment of these individuals as part of its settlement with the Internal
Revenue Service (See Note 15-- "Commitments and Contingencies"). The Company
has not encountered any work stoppages due to labor disputes with its
employees.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On October 30, 1992, the Company filed a complaint in the United States
District Court 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.
Other Litigation
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 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 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, 1988 and 1989, respectively.
On March 29, 1994, the Company agreed to the assessment of $666,000 plus
12
<PAGE> 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.
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, claims exceed insurance policy limits
and the Company or a subsidiary may have exposure to liability that is not
covered by insurance. Management believes that the outcome of such lawsuits
will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial statements.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
On March 7, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and
recommended to the Stockholders an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock
proportionate to the range of two- (2) through ten- (10) for-one, while
reducing the par value of the Company's Common Stock to one (1) cent ($0.01)
per share. In addition, the number of Common Shares authorized would be
reduced to five (5) times the number of shares outstanding, reserved or
otherwise committed for future issuance but not less than 12,500,000. On May
16, 1994, the shareholders approved each proposal by written consent with the
following vote:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

--- ---------- -------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
1. Amendment to effect reverse stock split . . . . 18,378,536 1,219,079 106,856

3. Reduction of the par value per share . . . . . . 18,455,658 1,009,317 247,489
</TABLE>
There were no broker non-votes. The reverse stock split would become effective
on any date selected by the Board of Directors occurring within nine months
after the end of the consent solicitation period (May 16, 1994). If no reverse
stock split is effected by February 16, 1995, the Board of Directors will take
action to abandon the reverse stock split. On August 25, 1994, the Board of
Directors authorized management to file an application with the New York Stock
Exchange for the reverse stock split.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
The following tables summarize selected consolidated financial data and
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Effective June 1, 1990, the
Company adopted the new accounting and reporting methods approved by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") in its health care
industry audit guide (the "AICPA guide") dated July 15, 1990. Accordingly,
provision for losses on accounts receivable is included as an expense rather
than as a reduction of operating revenues beginning in fiscal 1991.
Reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform with the
current year's presentation. See Item 7, "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" for a discussion of recent

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 a loss of approximately $7.9 million or $0.36 per
share for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1994, which was an improvement 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 improvement 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
which 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 and a longer length of stay. The
following table sets forth selected quarterly utilization data on a "same
store" basis:

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:

</TABLE>
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.

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.

store" basis:

</TABLE>
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.

programs offered by eight contract units on a "same store" basis:

</TABLE>
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
<PAGE> 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
share for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1993, which was a loss of $7.0 million
or $0.32 per share more than the $4.6 million or $0.21 per share loss incurred
in the prior fiscal year. The fiscal 1993 fourth quarter loss of $4.3 million
or $0.20 per share reflected a deterioration from the fourth quarter of the
prior fiscal year by $5.0 million or $0.23 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. 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,
primarily 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, and the reduction of interest expense attributable 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").
LIQUIDITY 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Comprehensive Care Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Comprehensive Care Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of
May 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These
consolidated financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the
responsibility of the Company'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 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 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.

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 results of Comprehensive Care
Corporation's operations and their cash flows for the year ended May 31, 1992,
in conformity with 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.
As discussed in Note 15 to 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 anticipated
working capital requirements during fiscal 1993 raises substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
NOTE 1-- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Comprehensive Care Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are presented on the
basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities 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 properties that the Company intends to sell,
and is carried at estimated net realizable value. Net realizable value has
been reduced by the 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 sold 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 $536,000 at May 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less. Such investments
are deemed to be cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated statements
of cash flows. Included in cash are short-term investments of $1,294,000 and
$228,000 at May 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Income Taxes
Effective June 1, 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" on a
prospective basis. Prior to this date, the Company accounted for income taxes
under APB 11. Statement No. 109 changed the Company's method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method required under APB 11 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. The objective of the asset and liability
method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect
when such amounts are realized or settled. The change to Statement No. 109 had
no cumulative effect on the financial statements of the Company as a result of
recording a valuation allowance.
Charity Care
The Company provides charity care to patients who meet certain criteria
under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than its
established rates. Corporate policy allows for charity when appropriate which
must be prearranged and the patient must meet applicable federal and/or state
poverty guidelines. The Company will not pursue collection of charity
accounts. Charity charges foregone, based upon established rates, were less
than 1% of the Company's operating revenues for fiscal 1994 and 1993.
Loss Per Share
Primary and fully diluted loss per common and common equivalent share
have been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. During fiscal 1994, 1993 and
1992, the convertible subordinated debentures had an antidilutive impact on
loss per share and, accordingly, were excluded from the computation.
The weighted average number 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, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

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

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
to the Company totaled $18.8 million which were used for the paydown of a
portion of senior secured debt, short-term borrowings, and to fund working
capital.
In November 1991, the Company sold its CareUnit Hospital of Orange
which closed in February 1991. In February 1992, the Company sold its
long-term care facility in Tustin, California as an operating facility.
In December 1992, the Company purchased Mental Health Programs, Inc.
based in Tampa, Florida, from the former owner. The Company has changed the
name to AccessCare, Inc. The terms of the purchase included a payment of
$75,000, issuance of 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock, an employment
agreement, a stock option agreement and the assumption of bank debt from the
former owner. Both the stock option and employment agreements and the release
of the former owner as guarantor of the bank debt are contingent upon the
continued employment of the former owner with the Company. In July 1993, the
Company terminated the employment agreement and is currently in litigation with
the former owner. 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. A pretax loss of
approximately $0.1 million and $1.1 million, net of minority interest, was
included in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended May 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively.
On April 5, 1993, the Company sold its CareUnit Hospital of Nevada.
Proceeds from the sale were utilized to reduce the Company's senior secured
debt and the remainder was used for working capital purposes. On July 1, 1993,
the Company sold its CareUnit Hospital of Albuquerque and on October 1, 1993,
sold its CareUnit Hospital of South Florida/Tampa. Proceeds from both of these
sales were utilized to reduce the Company's senior secured debt and the
remainder was utilized for working capital purposes. On December 10, 1993, the
Company sold its CareUnit Hospital of Coral Springs. Proceeds from the sale
were utilized for working capital purposes. In April 1994, the Company sold a
material portion of its publishing business. Proceeds from the sale will be
used for working capital purposes.
NOTE 4-- ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
There were no current notes receivable as of May 31, 1994. Current
notes receivable were $215,000 at May 31, 1993. The following table summarizes
changes in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual

During fiscal 1993, the Company fully implemented its current write-off
and reserve policy whereby all accounts past a certain aging category or
otherwise deemed by management to be uncollectible are written-off and recorded
as bad debt expense. Any recoveries are netted against expense. Other
represents the effect of the write-off of accounts net of the change in the
allowance for contractual adjustments.
NOTE 5-- PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT HELD FOR SALE
The Company has decided to dispose of certain freestanding facilities
and other assets (see Note 2-- "Operating Losses and Liquidity"). Property and
equipment held for sale, consisting of land, building, equipment and other
fixed assets with an historical net book value of approximately $23.3 million
and $38.2 million at May 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, is carried at
estimated net realizable value of approximately $6.9 million and $15.4 million
at May 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In fiscal 1993 and 1992, aggregate
losses were recorded totaling approximately $3.7 million and $15.2 million,
respectively, to reflect these assets at estimated net realizable value and
are included in loss on sale/write-down of assets in the consolidated
statements of operations. Operating revenues and operating expenses of the
facilities designated for disposition were approximately $0.1 million and $1.3
million, respectively, for the year ended May 31, 1994, and $0.8 million and
$2.1 million, respectively, for the year ended May 31, 1993. In addition,
$1,000,000 was reclassified to property and equipment during fiscal 1994 to
adjust property to its estimated fair market value.
A summary of the transactions affecting the carrying value of property
and equipment held for sale is as follows:

Property and equipment held for sale at May 31, 1992 included certain
hospitals which were proposed for inclusion in sale/leaseback transactions and
were carried at estimated net realizable value totaling $27.8 million. In
early fiscal 1993, the Company had expected to sell certain freestanding
facilities to CMP Properties, Inc. and lease them back. The facilities
expected to be sold and leased back were carried at estimated net realizable
value which had been reduced for estimated selling costs for these facilities.
On October 28, 1992, the board of directors of the Company terminated its plans
for the public offering of shares of common stock of its wholly owned
subsidiary CMP Properties, Inc. As a result, the proposed sale of hospitals to
CMP Properties subject to leaseback to the Company was not completed, and the
properties which were to be part of the transaction and were designated as
assets held for sale were reclassified during the second quarter as property
and equipment. In connection with this proposed transaction, 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 and were classified as accounts receivable
at May 31, 1993. The shares of common stock pledged were

NOTE 7-- INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture partnership with
another corporation for the purpose of operating two hospitals. Under the
terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company managed Crossroads Hospital
and its partner managed Woodview-Calabasas Hospital. Each of the partners in
the joint venture received a management fee for the hospital it managed. The
Company is currently in negotiation to dissolve this joint venture retroactive
to December 1991. The Company retained the hospital it managed and its partner
retained the other. The results of operations of the hospital retained have
been included in the consolidated financial statements beginning January 1,
1992. Crossroads Hospital continued to be managed by the Company although it
was closed in August 1992, and was subleased through the remaining term of the
lease which expired in September 1993. Woodview-Calabasas Hospital continues
to be managed by its joint-venture partner although it was closed in April
1993.
The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture agreement with a
subsidiary of HealthOne Corporation (formerly The Health Central System). The
joint venture owned and operated Golden Valley Health Center, a behavioral
medicine facility located in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota, which was sold
in fiscal 1989. The Company serves as managing partner of the joint venture,
which holds a promissory note from the purchaser of the facility in the amount
of $2.5 million. The purchaser was forced into receivership in January 1992
and was dissolved during fiscal 1994. The Company did not receive any proceeds
from this dissolution. In fiscal 1991, the Company recorded its respective
loss as a result of the uncollectability of the promissory note.
As of May 31, 1993, the Company no longer had any interest in the
outstanding common stock of RehabCare (a wholly-owned subsidiary prior to its
initial public offering which was completed on July 3, 1991) which was
previously carried on the equity method (see Note 3-- "Acquisitions and
Dispositions"). Earnings related to the Company's ownership in RehabCare
amounted to $384,000 and $1,224,000 for the years ended May 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Carrying value, cost and market value of the Company's remaining
investment in RehabCare was $4.0, $3.1 and $19.6 million, respectively, at May
31, 1992. The condensed combined operating

As of May 31, 1994, aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt for
the next five years (in accordance with stated maturities of the respective
loan agreements) are approximately $154,000 in 1995, $614,000 in 1996, $578,000
in 1997, $488,000 in 1998 and $449,000 in 1999.
In March 1992, to fund operations, the Company obtained approximately
$1.3 million in short-term borrowings secured by accounts and notes receivable
of CareUnit, Inc., bearing interest at 12% per annum, and due August 31, 1992.
The Company paid the principal and interest with the proceeds from the sale of
RehabCare stock.
The Company had no revolving loan or short-term borrowings during
fiscal 1994. The maximum amount outstanding on the revolving loan and
short-term borrowings was approximately $4.2 million during the years ended May
31, 1993 and 1992. The average amount outstanding of such borrowings, based
upon an average of month-end balances for periods when the Company had such
debt outstanding, was $2.2 million and $3.2 million during the years ended May
31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Weighted average interest rates for
short-term borrowings were 7.54% and 8.63% for the years ended May 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
(a) In April 1985, the Company issued $46 million in convertible
subordinated debentures. These debentures require that the Company make semi-
annual interest payments in April and October at an interest rate of 7.5%. The
debentures are due in 2010 but may be converted to common stock of the Company
at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $25.97 per share, subject
to adjustment in certain events. The debentures are also redeemable at the
option of the Company in certain circumstances. Mandatory annual sinking fund
payments sufficient to retire 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the
debentures are required to be made on each April 15 commencing in April 1996 to
and including April 15, 2009. During fiscal 1991, holders of approximately
34

$36.5 million debentures voluntarily converted their debentures into 11,667,200
shares of common stock at a temporarily reduced conversion price.
(b) In July 1988, the Company and two subsidiaries of the Company
issued $20 million in senior secured notes to a group of insurance companies.
The notes were originally secured by three of the Company's freestanding
facilities. See also note (c) below. Performance of the subsidiaries'
obligations under the notes is guaranteed by the Company. The notes originally
provided for the payment of interest at a fixed rate of 10.5% per annum. The
notes require principal payments in five equal annual installments beginning on
August 1, 1991, the first of which was prepaid in July 1990. Interest on the
unpaid balance was payable semi-annually commencing February 1, 1989. From May
1990 to July 1992, the Company entered into several amendments to the trust
indenture which changed certain restrictive covenants, collateral provisions,
maturity dates and interest rates. The Company paid $5.5 million and $1.3
million with the proceeds of the sale of RehabCare stock on September 30, 1992
and November 13, 1992, respectively. The remaining balance at May 31, 1993
totaled $1.9 million, of which $0.6 million was paid on July 1, 1993, $0.6
million was paid on August 1, 1993 and the remaining balance was paid on
October 1, 1993.
(c) On May 3, 1990, the Company entered into a Collateral Trust
Agreement for the benefit of the holders of the Company's senior secured debt,
that is, the banks, the insurance companies and the revenue bondholder. Under
this agreement, substantially all the Company's assets not previously pledged
were pledged as additional collateral to secure the senior indebtedness.
Substantially all the proceeds resulting from a sale of any of the pledged
assets was used to repay senior indebtedness.
(d) On December 30, 1992, the Company assumed approximately $456,000
in bank debt with the purchase of Mental Health Programs, Inc. (see Note
3--"Acquisition and Dispositions"). The note is secured and guaranteed by the
trust of the former owner of Mental Health Programs, Inc. The release of
collateral and guarantee are contingent upon continued employment of the former
owner with the Company. The note is payable at $8,000 per month with the
balance due on August 31, 1997. Interest is at prime plus 1.5%.
NOTE 11-- LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company is subject to alternative minimum tax ("AMT") at a 20% rate
on alternative minimum taxable income which is determined by making statutory
adjustments to the Company's regular taxable income. Net operating loss
carryforwards may be used to offset only 90% of the Company's alternative
minimum taxable income. The Company expensed federal income tax of $139,000 in
1992 and this amount is expected to be offset against another federal income
tax liability relating to an AMT liability on earlier years (see Note 15--
"Commitments and Contingencies"). The Company will be allowed a credit
carryover of $666,000 against regular tax in the event that regular tax
expense exceeds the alternative minimum tax expense (see Note 15-- "Commitments
and Contingencies").
At May 31, 1994, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $67 million for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes,
the Company has operating loss carryforwards of approximately $39 million
which expire in 2006 through 2009. All benefits from recoverable Federal
income taxes paid in prior years (tax carrybacks) were recognized as of May 31,
1990. No further tax carrybacks are available.
NOTE 13-- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
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 has a 401(k) Plan, which is a defined contribution plan
qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for the benefit of
its eligible employees. All full-time and part-time employees who have
attained the age of 21 and have completed six consecutive months of employment
are eligible to participate in the plan. Effective June 1, 1994, eligibility
was modified to one year of employment and a minimum of twenty

(20) regular scheduled hours per week. Each participant may contribute from 2%
to 15% of his or her compensation to the plan subject to limitations on the
highly compensated employees to ensure the plan is non-discriminatory. The
Company made approximately $20,000 and $9,000 in contributions to the Plan in
fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company did not make any matching
contributions to the plan in fiscal year 1992.
NOTE 14-- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue 60,000 shares of preferred stock
with a par value of $50 per share. No preferred shares have been issued.
The Company has a 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan and a 1988
Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Plans"). Options granted under the
1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan are intended to qualify as incentive stock
options ("ISOs") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. In fiscal
1992, the 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan and 1988 Nonstatutory Stock Option
Plan were amended to increase the total number of shares reserved for issuance
under the plans and to expand the class of eligible persons under the
nonstatutory plan to include advisors and consultants. Options granted under
the 1988 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan do not qualify as ISOs. The maximum
number of shares subject to options are 1,500,000 and 400,000 for the ISOs and
nonstatutory options, respectively. The following table sets forth the
activity related to ISOs for the years ended May 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992:

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% of
the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.
Options vest and become exercisable at such times and in such
installments as the Board of Directors provides for in the individual option
agreement, except that an option granted to a director may not be exercised
until the expiration of one year from the date such option is granted. Subject
to the limitation with respect to the vesting of options granted to directors,
the Board of Directors may in its sole discretion accelerate the time at 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. These 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 more of the Company's common stock or the
commencement or announcement of a tender or exchange offer, the consummation of
which would result in the
39

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
ownership by a person of 30% or more of the Company's common stock. 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 merger 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 Court 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

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, 1988 and 1989, respectively. On March 29, 1994, the
Company agreed to the assessment of $666,000 plus 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.
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, claims exceed insurance policy limits
and the Company or a subsidiary may have exposure to liability that is not
covered by insurance. Management believes that the outcome of such lawsuits
will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial statements.

written consent, or the stockholder's proxy holders, or a transferee of the
shares or a personal representative of the stockholder or their respective
proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the Secretary

provision and Article FOURTH, Section 1 of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation) he would be entitled to cast for the election
of directors with respect to his shares of stock multiplied by the number of
vacancies and/or newly created directorships in the Board of Directors to be

director or may distribute them among the number of directors to be voted for,
or any two or more of them, as he may see fit. For purposes of this Section
2.11, when action relating to the election of directors is taken by

consent shall be referred to as having "cast vote(s)" for the election of such
director(s).

action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the
date on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Corporation of a written consent or consents purporting to authorize or take
corporate action and/or related revocations (each such written consent or
related revocation is referred to in this Section 2.12 as a "Consent"), the
Secretary of the Corporation shall provide for safekeeping of such Consent and
shall immediately appoint duly qualified and objective inspectors to conduct,
as promptly as practical, such reasonable ministerial review as they deem
necessary or appropriate for the purpose of ascertaining the sufficiency and
validity of such Consent and all matters incident thereto, including, without
limitation, whether holders of shares having the requisite voting power to
authorize or take the action specified in the Consent have given consent. if
after such investigation the Secretary shall determine that the Consent is
valid, that fact shall be certified on the records of the Corporation kept for
the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of stockholders, and the
Consent shall be filed in such records, at which time the Consent shall become
effective as stockholder action.

Chairman, President, any Vice President or the Treasurer (or any other officer
or officers, assistant or assistants, agent or agents, or attorney or attorneys
of the Corporation who shall from time to time be determined by the Board) may
endorse, assign and deliver checks, drafts and other orders for the payment of
money which are payable to the order of the Corporation.
Section 5.04 General and Special Bank Accounts. The Board may
from time to time authorize the opening and keeping of general and special bank
accounts with such banks, trust companies or other depositories as the Board
may select or as may be selected by any officer or officers, assistant or
assistants, agent or agents, or attorney or attorneys of the Corporation to
whom such power shall have been delegated by the Board. The Board may make
such special rules and regulations with respect to such bank accounts, not
inconsistent with the provisions of these Bylaws, as it may deem expedient.
ARTICLE VI
SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER
Section 6.01 Certificates for Stock. Every owner of stock of the
Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate or certificates, to be in
such form as the Board shall prescribe, certifying the number and class of
shares of the stock of the Corporation owned by him. The certificates
representing shares of such stock shall be numbered in the order in which they
shall be issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the
Chairman, Vice Chairman, President or a Vice President, and by the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary or by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer. Any of
or all of the signatures on the certificates may be a facsimile. In case any
officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile
signature has been placed upon, any such certificate, shall have ceased to be
such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued,
such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same
effect as though the person who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile
signature shall have been placed thereupon, were such officer, transfer agent
or registrar at the date of issue. A record shall be kept of the respective
names of the persons, firms or corporations owning the stock represented by
such certificates, the number and class of shares represented by such
certificates, respectively, and the respective dates thereof, and in case of
cancellation, the respective dates of cancellation. Every certificate
surrendered to the Corporation for exchange or transfer shall be canceled, and
no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange for any existing
certificate until such existing certificate shall have
BYLAWS-12
<PAGE> 13
been so canceled, except in cases provide for in Section 6.04 hereof.
Section 6.02 Transfers of Stock. Transfers of shares of stock of
the Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation by the
registered holder thereof, or by his or her attorney thereunto authorized by
power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary, or with a
transfer clerk or a transfer agent appointed as provided in Section 6.03
hereof, and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares
properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes thereon. The person in whose
name shares of stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the
owner thereof for all purposes as regards the Corporation. Whenever any
transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely,
such fact shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer if, when the
certificate or certificates shall be presented to the Corporation for transfer,
both the transferror and the transferee request the Corporation to do so.
Section 6.03 Regulations. The Board may make such rules and
regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with the Bylaws,
concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of
the stock of the Corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or
officers to appoint, one (1) or more transfer clerks or one (1) of more
transfer agents and one (1) or more registrars, and may require all
certificates for stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.
Section 6.04 Lost, Stolen, Destroyed, and Mutilated Certificates.
In any case of loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any certificate of
stock, another may be issued in its place upon proof of such loss, theft,
destruction, or mutilation and upon the giving of a bond of indemnity to the
Corporation in such form and in such sum as the Board may direct; provided,
however, that a new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when,
in the judgment of the Board, it is proper so to do.
Section 6.05 Record Date for Purposes Other Than Notice and
Voting. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or
exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action (other than
action by stockholders by written consent without a meeting), the Board may fix
a record date which record date shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which shall not be more than
sixty (60) days before any such action, and in that case only stockholders of
record on the date so fixed are entitled to receive the dividend, distribution
or allotment of rights or to exercise the rights, as the case may be,
notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Corporation
after the record date so fixed, except as otherwise provided in the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. If the Board does not so fix a
record date, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose
shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the
resolution relating thereto.

INDEMNIFICATION
BYLAWS-13
<PAGE> 14
Section 7.01 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The
Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (including without limitation an action by or
in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he
had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 7.02 Advance of Expenses. Costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by or on behalf of a director, officer, employee or
agent in defending or investigating any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such matter, if such director, officer, employee or agent shall
undertake in writing to repay any such advances in the event that it is
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Corporation if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by a
majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is
not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs) by independent legal counsel, that, based upon the facts known to the
Board or counsel at the time such determination is made, (a) the director,
officer, employee or agent acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his duty
to the Corporation or its stockholders, and (b) as a result of such actions by
the director, officer, employee or agent, it is more likely than not that it
will ultimately be determined that such director, officer, employee or agent is
not entitled to indemnification.
Section 7.03 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a member of any
committee or similar body against any liability asserted against him and
incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under the provisions of this Article or applicable law.
Section 7.04 Non-Exclusivity. The right of indemnity and
advancement of expenses provided herein shall not be exclusive, and the
Corporation may provide indemnification or advancement of expenses to any
person, by agreement or otherwise, on such terms and conditions as the Board
of Directors may approve. Any agreement for indemnification of or advancement
of expenses to any director, officer, employee or other person may provide to
any
BYLAWS-14
<PAGE> 15
rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses which are broader or
otherwise different from those set forth herein.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.01 Seal. The Board shall provide a corporate seal,
which shall be in the form of a circle and shall bear the name of the
Corporation and words and figures showing that the Corporation was incorporated
in the State of Delaware and the year of incorporation.
Section 8.02 Waiver of Notices. Whenever notice is required to be
given by these Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, the person
entitled to said notice may waive such notice in writing, either before or
after the time stated therein, and such waiver shall be deemed equivalent to
notice.
Section 8.03 Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in the
Bylaws, the Bylaws, or any of them, may be altered, amended or repealed, and
new Bylaws may be made (i) by the Board, by vote of a majority of the number
of directors then in office as directors, acting at any meeting of the Board,
or (ii) by the vote of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of
all outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation, at any annual
meeting of stockholders, without previous notice, or at any special meeting of
stockholders, provided that notice of such proposed amendment, modification,
repeal or adoption is given in the notice of special meeting. Except as
otherwise provided in these Bylaws, any Bylaws made or altered by the
stockholders may be altered or repealed by either the Board or the
stockholders.

EXHIBIT 10.6
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made on _____________, between
COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
________________, an officer and/or member of the Board of Directors of the
Company.
WHEREAS, the Company desires the benefits of having Indemnitee serve as an
officer and/or director secure in the knowledge that expenses, liability and
losses incurred by him in his good faith service to the Company will be borne
by the Company or its successors and assigns in accordance with applicable
law; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires that Indemnitee resist and defend against what
Indemnitee may consider to be unjustified investigations, claims, actions,
suits and proceedings which have arisen or may arise in the future as a result
of Indemnitee's service to the Company notwithstanding that conditions in the
insurance markets may make directors' and officers' liability insurance
coverage unavailable or available only at premium levels which the Company may
deem inappropriate to pay; and
WHEREAS, the parties believe it appropriate to memorialize and reaffirm the
Company's indemnification obligations to Indemnitee and, in addition, set forth
the indemnification agreements contained herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Indemnification. Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company to the fullest extent permitted by its Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws and applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended,
against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in any settlement approved in advance by
the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) (collectively,
"Indemnifiable Expenses") actually reasonably incurred or suffered by
Indemnitee in connection with any present or future threatened, pending or
contemplated investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively, "Indemnifiable
Litigation"), (i) to which Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be
made a party by reason of any action or inaction in Indemnitee's capacity as a
director or officer of the Company, or (ii) with respect to which Indemnitee is
otherwise involved by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or of any subsidiary or
division, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitee shall
have no right to indemnification for expenses and the payment of profits
arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of
Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
<PAGE> 2
2. Interim Expenses. The Company agrees to pay Indemnifiable Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Indemnifiable Litigation in
advance of the final disposition thereof, provided that the Company has
received an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to repay the amount so advanced to the
extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise.
3. Trust Fund.
(a) The Company may, but is not obligated to, establish a trust (the
"Trust") to fund certain of its obligations under this Agreement and similar
agreements with other directors and/or officers (collectively, including
Indemnitee, the "Beneficiaries"). Therefore, in such event, in addition to
Indemnitee's rights under this Indemnification Agreement and any applicable
insurance policy, Indemnitee shall also have the right to seek indemnification
payments from the Trustee of the trust in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and of the trust agreement.
(b) All communications or demands made by and among the Trustee and the
Beneficiaries are to be made through the individual designated as the
Beneficiaries' Representative. As of the date of this Agreement, a Trust has
not been established, nor has a Beneficiaries' Representative been designated.
The Beneficiaries' Representative shall be designated and may be changed from
time to time and at any time upon agreement of two-thirds of the Beneficiaries
at such time.
4. Procedure for Making Demand. In order to receive payment, including
advance payments as set forth in Paragraph 2, Indemnitee shall make demand upon
the Company to honor its indemnity obligations and pay the Indemnifiable
Expenses. If the Company fails to do so within fifteen (15) days, the
Indemnitee shall then have the right and obligation to make demand under any
applicable policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance then in
effect upon the insurance company (the "Insurance Company") issuing such
policy. If Insurance Company fails to pay the demand within fifteen (15) days,
then if a Trust shall have been established, the Indemnitee, through the
Beneficiaries' Representative, shall then be entitled and obligated to make
demand upon the Trustee for such payment. Indemnitee shall not be required to
institute a lawsuit or take other actions against the Company, Insurance
Company or any insurer to recover the unpaid amount prior to the Beneficiaries'
Representative making a demand and receiving payment from the Trustee on his
behalf, but the Beneficiaries' Representative shall deliver a certificate to
the Trustee at the time of payment of each distribution certifying that no part
of such payment has been previously received from the Company or any insurer.
5. Failure to Indemnify.
(a) If a claim under this Agreement, or any statute, or under any
provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for
indemnification, is not paid in full by the Company, Insurance Company or
Trustee, if the Trust Fund shall have been established, within forty-five (45)
days after a written request for payment thereof has been received by the
Company, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action
against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if
successful in whole or in part, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid
for the expense (including attorneys' fees) of bringing such action.
<PAGE> 3
(b) It shall be a defense to such action (other than an action brought to
enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the
standard of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the
Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but the burden of
proving such defense shall be on the Company and Indemnitee shall be entitled
to receive interim payments of interim expenses pursuant to Section 2 hereof
unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or
judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. It is the parties'
intention that if the Company contests Indemnitee's right to indemnification,
the question of Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall be for the court to
decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its board of
directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a
determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by
applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board
of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, independent
legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not
met the applicable standard of conduct.
6. Retention of Counsel.
(a) Whether Indemnitee is seeking payment of Indemnifiable Expenses
directly from the Company or from the Trustee, the Indemnitee or the
Beneficiaries' Representative, if the Trust Fund shall have been established,
shall have the right and obligation on behalf of Indemnitee and other
Beneficiaries, in the case of the Beneficiaries' Representative, to (i) seek
counsel to represent Indemnitee with respect to any matter subject to
indemnification and payment hereunder; (ii) coordinate the defense of any such
matter; and (iii) approve the fees and other expenses of such counsel.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitee may retain different counsel
than the other Indemnitees or Beneficiaries, or may incur expenses not shared
in common with the other Indemnitees or Beneficiaries, in connection with any
Indemnifiable Litigation if in the reasonable judgment of Indemnitee there may
be legal defenses available to him which are different from or additional to
those available to the other Indemnitees or Beneficiaries and, as a
consequence, an actual or potential conflict of interest with the other
Indemnitees or Beneficiaries exists. If the Trust Fund shall have been
established, Indemnitee must obtain the prior written approval of the
Beneficiaries' Representative to retain such counsel, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Beneficiaries' Representative
withholds such consent, Indemnitee shall then have the right to seek approval
for such separate counsel from the Trustee, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(c) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Indemnitee from retaining other
counsel at Indemnitee's own expense.
7. Successors. This Agreement establishes contract rights which shall be
binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the successors, assigns, heirs
and legal representatives of the parties hereto.
3
<PAGE> 4
8. Contract Rights Not Exclusive. The contract rights conferred by this
Agreement shall be in addition to, but not exclusive of, any other right which
Indemnitee may have or may hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
9. Indemnitee's Obligations. The Indemnitee shall promptly advise the
Company in writing of the institution of any investigation, claim, action, suit
or proceeding which is or may be subject to this Agreement and keep the Company
generally informed of, and consult with the Company with respect to, the status
of any such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding. Notices to the
Company shall be directed to Comprehensive Care Corporation, 16305 Swingley
Ridge Drive, Suite 100, Chesterfield, Missouri 63017, Attn: President (or
other such address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee).
Notice shall be deemed received three days after the date postmarked if sent by
certified or registered mail, properly addressed. In addition, Indemnitee
shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably
require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.
10. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement, or any clause
thereof, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part,
the remaining provisions and clauses of this Agreement shall remain fully
enforceable and binding on the parties.
11. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the
parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether of
not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
12. Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, performance and
enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day
and year first written above.

THIS UNDERTAKING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made on
_____________, between COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation

WHEREAS, Indemnitee desires that the Company pay any and all expenses
(including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and court costs) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee's behalf in defending or
investigating any such suits or claims and that such payment be made in advance
of the final disposition of such investigations, claims, actions, suits or
proceedings to the extent that Indemnitee has not been previously reimbursed by
insurance; and
WHEREAS, the Company is willing to make such payments but, in
accordance with Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, the Company may make such payments only if it receives an undertaking
to repay from Indemnitee; and

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
This Option Agreement ("Agreement") is made effective as of February
2, 1993 ("Option Grant Date"), by and between Comprehensive Care Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, ("Company") and Fred C. Follmer ("Optionee").
In consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants set
forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
agree as set forth below.
1. The Option. Optionee may, at Optionee's option and on the
terms and conditions set forth herein, purchase all or any part of an aggregate
of 500,000 shares of common stock at the price per share of $1.00, $1.50, $2.00
and $2.00, vesting at the rate of twenty-five percent, at the end of the first
year and at the end of each year thereafter at the rate of twenty-five percent
("Option") pursuant to Exhibit A.
2. Vesting and Exercisability of Option. Subject to the
limitations set forth herein, the option granted shall vest and be exercisable
in accordance with the following rules:
A. General. Subject to the other provisions of this
Section 2, Option shall vest and become exercisable at such times and in such
installments as set forth in Section 1. Unless otherwise provided in this
Section 2, the Option may be exercised when the installments accrue and at any
time thereafter until, and including, the day before the Termination Date (as
defined below). Option shall remain exercisable until the Termination Date,
notwithstanding the subsequent grant of additional options with different start
or termination dates. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has no right
whatsoever to exercise the Option granted hereunder with respect to any share
covered by an installment until such installment accrues as provided in Section
1.
<PAGE> 2
Page Two
B. Termination of Option. All installments of the
Option shall expire and terminate on February 1, 2003 ("Termination Date").
C. Termination of Employment. In the event that the
employment of the Optionee is terminated for any reason, any installments under
the option held by such Optionee which have not accrued as of the employment
termination date shall expire and become unexercisable as of the employment
termination date. In the event that Optionee's employment with the Company is
terminated "for cause", then the option granted hereunder to such terminated
Optionee, whether vested or not, shall expire and become unexercisable as of
the effective date of the termination of employment of the Optionee. All
accrued installments as of the employment termination date shall remain
exercisable for three (3) months following the employment termination date.
3. Exercise of Option. The Option may be exercised in accordance
with this Section as to all or any portion of the Shares covered by an accrued
installment of the Option from time to time during the applicable option
period, except that the Option shall not be exercisable with respect to
fractions of a Share. The Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by
giving written notice of exercise to the Company, which notice shall specify
the number of Shares to be purchased and shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the purchase price in accordance with Section 4. The Option shall be
deemed exercised when such written notice of exercise has been received by the
Company. No Shares shall be issued until full payment has been made and the
Optionee has satisfied such other conditions as may be required by applicable
law, rules, or regulations, or as may be adopted or imposed by the Company.
Until the issuance of stock certificates, no right to vote or receive dividends
or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to optioned
Shares notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made
for a dividend or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
the stock certificate is issued.
4. Payment of Option Exercise Price. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section, the entire option exercise price shall be paid at the
time the option is exercised by cashier's check or such other means as deemed
acceptable by the Company.
5. Option Not Transferable. The Option granted under this
Agreement may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, assigned, encumbered, gifted
or otherwise transferred or alienated in any manner.
6. Restrictions on Issuance of Shares.
A. No Shares shall be issued or delivered upon exercise
unless and until there shall have been compliance with all applicable
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, all applicable listing requirements
of any national securities exchange on which Shares are then listed, and any
other requirement of law or of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over
such issuance and delivery. The inability of the Company to obtain any
required permits, authorizations, or approvals necessary for the lawful
<PAGE> 3
Page Three
issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder on terms deemed reasonable by the
Company shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the
nonissuance or sale of such Shares as to which such requisite permits,
authorizations, or approvals shall not have been obtained.
B. As a condition to the granting or exercise of the
Option, the Company may require the person receiving or exercising such option
to make any representation and/or warranty to the Company as may be required
under any applicable law or regulation, including but not limited to a
representation that the Option and/or Shares are being acquired only for
investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute each Option
and/or Shares if such representation IS required under the Securities Act of
1933 or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation.
7. Taxes. On the Exercise Date, the Optionee must pay to the
Company the amount of the federal, state and local tax withholding obligation
arising from the exercise of the Option;
A. in cash equal to the minimum withholding;
B. if the Exercise Price for the Option Shares is paid
by a broker, dealer or other "creditor" (as defined by Regulation T issued by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) with the Optionee making
a Tax Withholding Election to have such broker, dealer or other "creditor"
deliver to the Company cash in the amount of tax withholding due after the
Optionee has delivered to the Company instructions acceptable to the Company
regarding the delivery of the number of Option Shares being exercised to such
broker, dealer or other "creditor".
8. Legends on Option and Stock Certificates. Each certificate
representing Shares acquired upon exercise of the option shall be endorsed with
all legends, if any, required by applicable federal and state securities laws
to be placed on the certificate. The determination of which legends, if any,
shall be placed upon said Shares shall be made by the Company in its sole
discretion and such decision shall be final and binding.
9. Certain Representations and Warranties. Executive expressly
acknowledges, represents and agrees:
A. Optionee understands that the option is not issued
under the Company's existing stock option plans.
B. That the Shares are not now registered under
applicable securities laws or listed on any national securities exchange, and
that the Company may require, as a condition to the granting or exercise of the
Option, that the person receiving or exercising the option must make such
representations or warranties to the Company as may be required under
applicable law or regulation, including but not limited to a representation
that the Option and/or Shares are being acquired only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Option or Shares.
<PAGE> 4
Page Four
C. That Optionee understands that the existence and
execution of this Agreement is not sufficient by itself to cause any exercise

CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS EXHIBIT 24.2
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Comprehensive Care Corporation:
We consent to the incorporation by reference in the Post-Effective Amendment
No. 3 to the Registration Statement (No. 33-6520) on Form S-8 and in the
Registration Statement (No.33-27213) on Form S-8 of Comprehensive Care
Corporation of our report dated August 27, 1992, relating to the consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows and related
schedules of Comprehensive Care Corporation and subsidiaries for the year ended
May 31, 1992, which report appears in the May 31, 1994 annual report on Form
10-K of Comprehensive Care Corporation.
Our report dated August 27, 1992 contains two separate explanatory paragraphs
which state:
As discussed in Note 15 to 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 by 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 anticipated working capital
requirements during fiscal 1993 raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these
matters are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
