COMMUNITY CARE OF AMERICA ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER
AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
Naples, FL, March 31, 1997 - Community Care of America, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CCAI), a provider of community based healthcare services in rural,
medically underserved areas, today announced operating revenues and
results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31,
1996.
In prefacing the Company's announcement, Gary W. Singleton, President
and Chief Executive Officer of Community Care, stated: "Although the
Company, as previously announced, has taken substantial write-downs and
other non-recurring charges during the year, the Company believes that
it has strengthened its balance sheet which will allow for modest
earnings in 1997 and for a more solid foundation for more aggressive
earnings in 1998."
Total operating revenues for the fourth quarter before non-recurring
charges increased 16 percent to $33.6 million from $29.0 million for
the same period in 1995. Net loss for the fourth quarter before the
previously announced non-recurring charges taken in that quarter was
$2.7 million or $0.36 per share, compared to net earnings of $1.3
million or $0.25 per share for the same period in 1995. The
non-recurring charges (pre-tax) aggregating 10.7 million consists of an
adjustment to revenue for a change in the allowance for doubtful
accounts for certain third party receivables of $1.9 million; a
write-off of $2.0 million for deferred costs related to the refinancing
of a working capital line of credit, as well as certain costs of a
terminated secondary offering; and other proposed financing; and $6.8
million in losses from the sale of a hospital in connection with the
termination of an agreement to acquire other rural hospitals in Georgia
and other related balance sheet adjustments. The after tax effect of
these charges was ($7.9 million) or ($1.06) per share. The consolidated
net after tax loss for the fourth quarter was $10.7 million or $1.43
per share. Weighted average shares outstanding for the period increased
to 7,450,925 in 1996 from 5,316,000 in 1995.

For the year ended December 31, 1996, total operating revenues before
the $1.9 million revenue adjustment described above, were $129.4
million, compared to $94.2 million for the same period in 1995, an
increase of 37.4 percent. Net earnings for the year ended December 31,
1996 before the impact of second and fourth quarter non-recurring
charges were $1.0 million or $0.13 per share compared to earnings
applicable to common stock before extraordinary item of $2.0 million or
$0.42 per share for the year ended December 31, 1995. In addition to
the fourth quarter non-recurring charges, results include non-recurring
charges in the second quarter of $19.2 million. After the impact of the
non-recurring charges, aggregating $28.9 million, the net loss for the
year ended December 31, 1996 was $18.9 million or $2.56 per share
compared to net earnings applicable to common stock of $1.0 million or
$0.22 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995. Weighted
average shares outstanding for the 1996 twelve month period increased
to 7,384,697 from 4,840,457 in 1995.
Operations before non-recurring charges for the fourth quarter ended
December 31, 1996 compared to the third quarter ended September 30,
1996 resulted in a decrease in revenues of $700,000, an increase in
operating expenses and corporate administrative and general of $2.9
million, and an increase in fixed costs of $2.2 million. The decrease
in revenues is due to a reduction in Medicare Routine Cost Limit
exception revenue and a reduction in Medicaid rates, applicable to all
participants, in the Southeast. The increase in operating expenses is
the result of the development of new programs to attract higher acuity
residents. The Company does not expect to benefit from additional
reimbursement on these programs until mid 1997. Additional annualized
reimbursement related to these programs is expected to be in the range
of $3.0 to $4.0 million. The Company revised its vacation policy
resulting in an increase in operating expenses of $900,000. The change
will reduce future vacation expense for the Company. The increase in
the fixed costs were a result of the closing of projects no longer in
progress and the expensing of related capitalized interests and
amortization costs.
"As previously announced, the Company has been reviewing its balance
sheet at year end and has made appropriate provisions and adjustments
which it believes are prudent to provide a fresh beginning for 1997,"
said Gary W. Singleton, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Community Care of America, Inc. "The Company has undergone major
restructuring and reorganization in 1996 in which the Company incurred
charges for the restructuring and closing of certain existing physician
practices, primary care clinics and day care centers. We also
terminated the agreements under which the Company had been managing
nine long-term care facilities in Maine, and conveyed a rural hospital
in connection with the termination of our proposed acquisition of
certain other hospitals in Georgia, which resulted in various
accounting charges. Management has spent a considerable amount of time
stabilizing the direction of the Company and feels it has made
significant progress after securing a three year financing arrangement
with Daiwa Securities America, Inc. for a line of credit of up to $15
million, securing a
-more-
<PAGE>
five year management agreement for Integrated Health Services, Inc. to
provide the Company with financial, accounting, MIS, reimbursement, and
ancillary services, as well as a line of credit for working capital of
up to $5 million. While the transition to the less expensive, more
sophisticated and responsive systems of Integrated Health Services is
still in process with the expected time of completion being May 31,
1997, management believes that these service arrangements are a major
step towards obtaining adequate financing needed for the Company to
continue to implement its strategy of building networks in rural,
medically underserved areas as well as pursue other strategic
alternatives that will enhance and maximize shareholder value." Mr.
Singleton added, "The Company has taken dramatic action to strengthen
the balance sheet. If the Company is not able to achieve a strategic
consolidation during 1997, we believe that these actions will provide
for modest earnings in 1997 and for a more solid foundation for more
aggressive earnings in 1998."
The Company also announced that, in response to the engagement of Smith
Barney, as financial advisor, it has received several credible
expressions of interest ranging from potential acquirers and joint
venture partners to sources of capital infusions. Mr. Singleton
commented, "We are gratified by the interest shown in the Company by
potential acquirers, joint venture partners and organizations
interested in providing a much needed infusion of capital. As we
complete the evaluation of these opportunities with Smith Barney we
will share our progress with the public."
Separately, the Company announced that Gary W. Singleton, President and
Chief Executive Officer, has resigned effective April 4, 1997 although
he will remain available to the Company in a consulting role. Ms.
Deborah Lau, currently Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer, has been appointed to the position of President and Chief
Executive Officer effective upon Mr. Singleton's departure. Mr.
Singleton commented that "I was brought into the Company during a
period of crisis with the direction to stabilize the Company,
discontinue as many unprofitable operations as possible, reduce
corporate overhead, and prepare the Company for eventual strategic
opportunities. I believe that these goals have been accomplished and
that the Company will be in very capable hands under the direction of
Ms. Lau. She has done an excellent job in stabilizing census, improving
Medicare revenues, and in assuring improved quality of care within our
facilities. We have worked closely together over the last several
months to assure a smooth transition." The Company also announced that
the Board of Directors has accepted the resignation of David Fater,
Chief Financial Officer, who left to pursue other opportunities.
