NOTE 1  DESCRIPTION OF
THE COMPANYS BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for Comprehensive Care Corporation (referred to herein as the
Company, CompCare, we, us or our) and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules for interim financial information
and do not include all information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in our most recent report
on Form 10-K, from which the December 31, 2007 balance sheet has been derived.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiary Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. (CBC) and subsidiaries. The Company, primarily through CBC, provides managed care
services in the behavioral health and psychiatric fields, which is its only operating segment. We manage the delivery of a continuum of psychiatric and substance abuse services to commercial, Medicare, Medicaid and Childrens Health Insurance
Program (CHIP) members on behalf of employers, health plans, government organizations, third-party claims administrators, and commercial and other group purchasers of behavioral healthcare services. We also provide prior and concurrent
authorization for physician-prescribed psychotropic medications for a major Medicaid health maintenance organization (HMO) in Indiana and Michigan. The managed care operations include administrative service agreements, fee-for-service
agreements, and capitation contracts. The customer base for our services includes both private and governmental entities. Our services are provided primarily by unrelated vendors on a subcontract basis.

Our Board of Directors approved on May 21, 2007 a change in the Companys fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31,
effective December 31, 2006. The purpose of the change was to align the Companys fiscal year end with that of Hythiam, Inc., which purchased a majority controlling interest in the Company through its purchase of Woodcliff Healthcare
Investment Partners LLC (Woodcliff) in January 2007. In addition, a calendar year end coincides with that of our major Indiana client that provided approximately 40.2% of our revenues during 2007. The seven months ended December 31,
2006 was our transition period for financial reporting purposes.

NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Our managed care activities are performed under the terms of agreements with health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, and other
health plans or payers to provide contracted behavioral healthcare services to subscribing participants. Revenue under a substantial portion of these agreements is earned monthly based on the number of qualified participants regardless of services
actually provided (generally referred to as capitation arrangements). The information regarding qualified participants is supplied by our clients and we review member eligibility records and other reported information to verify its accuracy to
determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. Such agreements accounted for 97.4%, or $9.1 million, of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 97.3%, or $8.5 million, of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The remaining balance of our revenues is earned on a fee-for-service basis and is recognized as services are rendered.

Under our major
Indiana contract, approximately $200,000 of our monthly revenue is dependent on our satisfaction of various monthly performance criteria. On a monthly basis we review our performance against the criteria and recognize the revenue monthly if all the
specified performance targets were achieved.

Healthcare Expense Recognition

Healthcare operating expense is recognized in the period in which an eligible member actually receives services and includes an estimate of the cost of
behavioral health services that have been incurred but not yet reported. See Accrued Claims Payable for a discussion of claims incurred but not yet reported. We contract with various healthcare providers including hospitals, physician
groups and other licensed behavioral healthcare professionals either on a discounted fee-for-service or a per-case basis. We determine that a member has received services when we receive a claim within the contracted timeframe with all required
billing elements correctly completed by the service provider. We then determine whether the member is eligible to receive such services, the service provided is medically necessary and is covered by the benefit plans certificate of coverage,
and the service is authorized by one of our employees. If all of these requirements are met, the claim is entered into our claims system for payment.

Accrued Claims Payable

The accrued claims payable liability represents the estimated ultimate net amounts owed for all behavioral healthcare services provided through the respective balance sheet dates, including estimated amounts for
claims incurred but not yet reported (IBNR) to the Company. The unpaid claims liability is estimated using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and other statistical analyses and is continually reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, to
reflect any change in the estimated liability. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in utilization and other factors. However, actual claims incurred could differ from the estimated claims payable amount reported. Although
considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes that the unpaid claims liability is adequate.

Premium Deficiencies

We accrue losses under our capitated contracts when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. We perform this loss accrual analysis on a specific contract basis taking into consideration such factors as future contractual revenue, projected future healthcare and maintenance costs, and each contracts specific terms
related to future revenue increases as compared to expected increases in healthcare costs. The projected future healthcare and maintenance costs are estimated based on historical trends and our estimate of future cost increases.

At any time prior to the end of a contract or contract renewal, if a capitated contract is not meeting its financial goals, we generally have the ability
to cancel the contract with 60 to 90 days written notice. Prior to cancellation, we will submit a request for a rate increase accompanied by supporting utilization data. Although our clients have historically been generally receptive to such
requests, no assurance can be given that such requests will be fulfilled in the future in our favor. If a rate increase is not granted, we have the ability, in most cases, to terminate the contract and limit our risk to a short-term period.

On a quarterly basis, we perform a review of our portfolio of contracts for the purpose of identifying loss contracts (as defined in the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide  Health Care Organizations) and developing a contract loss reserve, if applicable, for succeeding periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our
review did not identify any contracts where it was probable that a loss had been incurred and for which a loss could reasonably be estimated.

Fair
Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements, (SFAS 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. During the three
months ended March 31, 2008, we had no assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS 157 did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

On January 1, 2008 we adopted SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS
159). SFAS 159 provides that companies may elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The
election, called the fair value option, will enable some companies to reduce the variability in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. We chose not to measure at fair value our eligible
financial assets and liabilities existing at March 31, 2008. Consequently, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to net operating loss carryforwards and to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under
SFAS No. 109, the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets or liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that included the enactment. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax
assets unless their realization is considered more likely than not.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 requires that companies recognize in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely
than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, with no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, we completed a private placement transaction with Woodcliff that constituted a change of ownership under IRS Section 382
rules, which impose limitations on the ability to deduct prior period net operating losses on current federal tax returns. As a result, our ability to use our net operating losses incurred prior to June 14, 2005 is limited to approximately
$400,000 per year.

On January 12, 2007, the sale of Woodcliffs majority interest in the Company to Hythiam constituted another
change of ownership under IRS Section 382 rules. In the event that the Company has two or more ownership changes, Section 1.382-5(d) also describes a potential impact on the limitation for any losses attributable to the period
preceding the earlier ownership change. We have determined that the latest change of ownership does not change the limitation of approximately $400,000 per year for net operating losses incurred prior to June 14, 2005, the date of the first
change in control. Furthermore, our ability to use net operating losses incurred between June 15, 2005 and January 12, 2007 is limited to approximately $490,000 per year. Net operating losses for periods prior to June 15, 2005 and for
the subsequent period of June 15, 2005 to January 12, 2007 may be deducted simultaneously subject to the applicable limitations. Any unused portion of such limitations can be carried forward to the following year. We may be subject to
further limitation in the event that we issue or agree to issue substantial amounts of additional equity.

Stock Options

We issue stock options to our employees and non-employee directors allowing optionees to purchase the Companys common stock pursuant to
shareholder-approved stock option plans. We currently have two incentive plans, the 1995 Incentive Plan and the 2002 Incentive Plan, that provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, and
restricted stock grants to eligible employees and consultants. Grants issued under the plans may qualify as incentive stock options (ISOs) under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code. Options for ISOs may be granted for terms of up to ten
years and are generally exercisable in cumulative increments of 50% each six months. The exercise price for ISOs must equal or exceed the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The plans also provide for the full vesting of all
outstanding options under certain change of control events. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance is 1,000,000 under the 2002 Incentive Plan and 1,000,000 under the 1995 Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2008, under the 2002
Incentive Plan, there were 465,000 options available for grant and there were 495,000 options outstanding, of which 300,000 are exercisable. Additionally, as of March 31, 2008, under the 1995 Incentive Plan, there were 265,375 options
outstanding and exercisable. Effective August 31, 2005, the 1995 Incentive Plan terminated such that there are no further options available for grant under this plan.

We also have a non-qualified stock option plan for our non-employee directors. Each non-qualified stock option is exercisable at a price equal to the
average of the closing bid and asked prices of the common stock in the over-the-counter market for the most recent preceding day there was a sale of the stock prior to the grant date. Grants of options vest in accordance with vesting schedules
established by our Board of Directors Compensation and Stock Option Committee. Upon joining the Board, directors receive an initial grant of 25,000 options. Annually, directors are granted 15,000 options on the date of the Companys
annual meeting. As of March 31, 2008, under the directors plan, there were 776,668 shares available for option grants and there were 125,000 options outstanding, of which 50,000 are exercisable.

|Fair value of vested options ($)               |  | 47,367                      |  | 74,923

A total of 185,000 options were granted to directors and employees during the three months ended
March 31, 2008. Options for 125,000 shares were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Total intrinsic value (the difference between the exercise price of the option and the market value of our stock on the day of
exercise) of exercised options during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $50,080. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, 37,500 options with a total intrinsic value of $13,160 were exercised. Cash received from option exercise
under all plans for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $32,000 and $19,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, 245,000 stock options granted to one employee expired. We did not grant
any stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

At March 31, 2008, unrecognized compensation expense related to
unvested stock options totaled $121,000, which we expect to recognize over the next eleven months. The net tax benefit attributable to stock-based compensation recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $8,600, and
was fully offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount due to the likelihood of future realization.

The following table lists the
assumptions utilized in applying the Black-Scholes valuation model. We use historical data and management judgment to estimate the expected term of the option. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our traded stock. We did not
declare dividends in the past nor do we expect to do so in the near future, and as such we assume no expected dividend. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with the same expected term as that of the option at the time of
grant. In the event that there is no risk-free rate with the same expected term, we extrapolate the rate from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. We did not grant any stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Per Share Data

In calculating basic loss per share, net loss is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the periods presented, diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per
share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 3  LIQUIDITY

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, net cash used in
operations totaled $2.4 million. Approximately $600,000 in cash was used to pay accrued claims payable relating to three contracts that terminated during the three months ended December 31, 2007, with minimal corresponding revenue in 2008. In
addition, a severance payment of $410,000 was made to our former Chief Executive Officer. Cash used in investing activities is comprised of $22,000 in additions to property and equipment offset by $7,000 in proceeds from payments received on notes
receivable. Cash provided by financing activities consists primarily of $32,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock less payment of other liabilities of $13,000. At March 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $3.9
million. We believe we have sufficient working capital to sustain current operations and meet our current obligations during the remainder of 2008.

NOTE 4  SOURCES OF REVENUE

Our revenue can be segregated into the following significant categories (amounts in thousands):

Capitated revenues include contracts under which we assume the financial risk for the costs of
member behavioral healthcare services in exchange for a fixed, per member per month fee. For non-capitated contracts, we may manage behavioral healthcare programs or perform various managed care functions, such as clinical care management, provider
network development, and claims processing without assuming financial risk for member behavioral healthcare costs.

NOTE 5 
MAJOR CUSTOMERS/CONTRACTS

(1) We have contracts to provide behavioral health services to the members of a
Medicare Advantage HMO in the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania. Revenues under the contracts accounted for $2.2 million, or 23.9%, and $0.8 million, or 9.6%, of our operating revenues for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively. The contracts are for an initial one-year term with automatic annual renewals unless either party provides notice of cancellation at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then current terms.

In January 2008, this client issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for management of behavioral healthcare services for its Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Texas
regions. We submitted a bid to retain our current business with this client as well as contract for the Texas membership. In March 2008, our client sent us a termination notice relating to the Pennsylvania region. Revenues under this contract
accounted for $1.8 million, or 19.2%, and $0.5 million, or 6.3%, of our operating revenues for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our client intends to select a finalist in May 2008 with an effective date of
July 1, 2008 for a new agreement to serve members in these states.

(2) On January 1, 2007, we began providing behavioral healthcare services to
approximately 250,000 Medicaid recipients in Indiana. The contract generated $4.4 million, or 46.7% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and $3.6 million, or 41.4%, of our revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The contract is for an initial term of two years with subsequent extensions by mutual written agreement. Termination of the contract by either party may only be effected by reason of failure to perform that has not been corrected within agreed
upon timeframes.

(3) We currently furnish behavioral healthcare services to approximately 249,000 members of a health plan providing Medicaid, Medicare,
and CHIP benefits in Michigan, Texas and California. Services are provided on a fee-for-service and ASO basis. The contracts accounted for $933,000, or 10.0%, and $1.1 million, or 12.7%, of our revenues for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007. The health plan has been a customer since June of 2002. The initial contract was for a one-year period and has been automatically renewed on an annual basis. Termination by either party may occur with 90 days written
notice to the other party.

In general, our contracts with our customers are typically for initial one-year terms, with automatic annual extensions. Such
contracts generally provide for cancellation by either party with 60 to 90 days written notice.

NOTE 6  PREFERRED
STOCK

As of March 31, 2008, there were 4,340 remaining shares of preferred stock authorized and available to issue,
and 14,400 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. All outstanding shares were issued in June 2005 as a result of the sale of Series A Preferred Stock to Woodcliff for approximately $3.4 million in net cash proceeds. The Series A Preferred
Stock, acquired by Hythiam in January 2007, is convertible into 4,235,328 shares of common stock at a conversion rate of 294.12 common shares for each preferred share. Hythiam has the right to designate the majority of our Board of Directors, has
dividend and liquidation preferences, and anti-dilution protection. In addition, we need Hythiams consent for a sale or merger involving a material portion of our assets or business, any single or series of related transactions exceeding
$500,000, and prior to incurring any debt in excess of $200,000.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES



We are authorized to issue shares of Preferred Stock, $50.00 par value, in one or more series, each
series to have such designation and number of shares as the Board of Directors may fix prior to the issuance of any shares of such series. Each series may have such preferences and relative participation, optional or special rights with such
qualifications, limitations or restrictions stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any such series.

NOTE 7  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(1) We provided behavioral healthcare services to the members of a Connecticut HMO from 2001 to 2005 under a contract that provided that we would also receive funds
directly from a state reinsurance program for the purpose of paying providers. At March 31, 2008, $2.5 million of reinsurance claims payable remains and is attributable to providers having submitted claims for authorized services having
incorrect service codes or otherwise incorrect information that has caused payment to be denied by us. In such cases, there are statutory provisions that allow the provider to appeal a denied claim. If no appeal is received by the Company within the
prescribed amount of time, it is probable that we will be required to remit the reinsurance funds back to the appropriate party.

(2) In connection with
our new Indiana contract that started January 1, 2007, we maintain a performance bond in the amount of $1 million. In addition, a $25,000 performance bond is maintained in relation to a Third Party Administrator license in Maryland.

(3) Related to our discontinued hospital operations, Medicare guidelines allow the Medicare fiscal intermediary to re-open previously filed cost reports. Our fiscal
1999 cost report, the final year the Company was required to file a cost report, is being reviewed in which case the intermediary may determine that additional amounts are due to or from Medicare. Management believes cost reports for fiscal years
prior to fiscal 1999 are closed and considered final.

(4) We have insurance for a broad range of risks as it relates to our business operations. We
maintain managed care errors and omissions, professional and general liability coverage. These policies are written on a claims-made basis and are subject to a $10,000 per claim self-insured retention. The managed care errors and omissions and
professional liability policies include limits of liability of $1 million per claim and $3 million in the aggregate. The general liability has a limit of liability of $5 million per claim and $5 million in the aggregate. We are responsible for
claims within the self-insured retentions or if the policy limits are exceeded. Management is not aware of any claims that could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(5) Two class action lawsuits and a complaint have been filed against us in Delaware Court of Chancery. Until the actions are withdrawn or settled, we may incur further
legal defense fees and may be subject to awards of plaintiffs attorney fees or other fees, the amounts of which are not presently known or reasonably estimable. See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings for a description of these
matters.

(6) Relating to our major Indiana contract, our client and the state of Indiana are requiring us to reconsider payment of claims billing codes
that our client previously instructed us to deny. We are in the process of formulating our reconsideration policy for submission to our client and the state of Indiana for approval. Presently, considerable uncertainty exists as to the
type of behavioral healthcare facility that would be eligible to receive payment for these billing codes, and the effect of our Indiana facility contracts, some of which exclude the billing codes in question. Furthermore, it is not known what
modifications to our reconsideration policy our client and the state of Indiana will require after their review. For these reasons, we do not believe sufficient information currently exists with which to reasonably estimate a range of amounts, if
any, that we may have to pay in response to this billing code issue, which extends retroactively to January 1, 2007. If it is determined we are responsible for these claims or a significant portion thereof, the matter will have a material
adverse impact on the Company. We believe the state of Indiana will make a determination regarding our reconsideration policy during the next several months.

NOTE 8  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In August 2005, the
Companys principal operating subsidiary, Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc., entered into a marketing agreement with Health Alliance Network, Inc. (HAN) whereby CBC appointed HAN as its primary representative and marketing agent
for commercial business. Two shareholders of HAN held membership interests in Woodcliff, the owner of a controlling interest in the Company. On January 12, 2007, the members of Woodcliff sold 100% of their outstanding membership interests in
Woodcliff to Hythiam. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, CBC paid HAN consulting fees of $3,000 and $18,000, respectively. In March 2008, CBC terminated the marketing agreement.

In February 2006, CBC entered into an agreement with Hythiam whereby CBC would have the exclusive
right to market Hythiams substance abuse disease management program to its current and certain mutually agreed upon prospective clients. The program is an integrated disease management approach designed to offer less restrictive levels of care
in order to minimize repeat detoxifications. Under the agreement, CBC will pay Hythiam license and service fees for each enrollee who is treated. As of March 31, 2008, there have been no material transactions resulting from this agreement.

In late 2007, CBC contracted with Integra Health Management, Inc. (IHM), a company that provides behavioral and medical health
management and consultative services to healthcare payers. IHM was founded by one of our directors, Michael Yuhas, who also serves as its current Chief Executive Officer. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, CBC paid IHM $27,100 for
monitoring and care coordination of intensive case management patients. In addition, IHM provided $41,250 of information technology consulting services to CBC.

As a subsidiary of Hythiam, we have worked in conjunction with Hythiam to achieve cost savings on the combined purchase of certain services and insurance coverages. In addition, the consolidation of our financial
results into those of Hythiam required us in 2007 to accelerate our Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance efforts, an expense paid for by Hythiam but for which we will be partially responsible. To cover expected reimbursements to Hythiam for these costs,
approximately $91,500 is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 2008.

OVERVIEW

GENERAL

We are a Delaware corporation organized in 1969. Unless the context otherwise requires, all
references to us include our wholly owned operating subsidiary, Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc.(CBC) and subsidiary corporations.

Primarily through CBC, we provide managed care services in the behavioral health and psychiatric fields, which is our only operating segment. We
coordinate and manage the delivery of a continuum of psychiatric and substance abuse services to:



| |  |  | Commercial members
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | Medicare members
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | Medicaid members

| |  |  | Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP) members
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | commercial purchasers
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | other group purchasers of behavioral healthcare services
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------

Our customer base includes both private and governmental entities. We provide services primarily by a contracted network of providers that includes:



| |  |  | psychiatrists
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | psychologists
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | therapists
| | - |  | ----------



| |  |  | other licensed healthcare professionals
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | psychiatric hospitals
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | general medical facilities with psychiatric beds
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | residential treatment centers
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | other treatment facilities
| | - |  | --------------------------

The
services provided through our provider network include outpatient programs (such as counseling or therapy), intermediate care programs (such as intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization services), and inpatient and crises
intervention services. We do not directly provide treatment or own any provider of treatment services.

We typically enter into contracts
on an annual basis to provide managed behavioral healthcare and substance abuse treatment to our clients members. Our arrangements with our clients fall into two broad categories:



| |  |  | capitation arrangements, where our clients pay us a fixed fee per member, and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fee-for-service and administrative service arrangements where we may manage behavioral healthcare programs or perform various managed care services.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under capitation arrangements, the number of covered members as reported to us by our clients determines the amount of
premiums we receive, which is independent of the cost of services rendered to members. The amount of premiums we receive for each member is fixed at the beginning of the contract term. These premiums may be subsequently adjusted, up or down,
generally at the commencement of each renewal period.

Over the last several years we have experienced a trend with our clients to contract
for services more on a capitated basis than on a non-capitated basis. In addition, several of our large clients have determined to establish their own behavioral health units.

Our largest expense is the cost of behavioral health services that we provide, which is based primarily on our arrangements with healthcare providers.
Since we are subject to increases in healthcare operating expenses based on an increase in the number and frequency of our members seeking behavioral care services, our profitability depends on our ability to predict and effectively manage
healthcare operating expenses in relation to the fixed premiums we receive under capitation arrangements. Providing services on a capitation basis exposes us to the risk that our contracts may ultimately be unprofitable if we are unable to
anticipate or control healthcare costs. Estimation of healthcare operating expense is our most significant critical accounting estimate. See Managements Discussion and Analyses of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 
Critical Accounting Estimates.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In March 2008, we signed an amendment to our agreement with our major Indiana client, which accounted for 46.7% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Effective January 1, 2008, we
are now eligible to receive a 15.9% rate increase, or approximately $200,000 per month, subject to meeting monthly performance measures. We met or exceeded all performance measures for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and consequently
received in April 2008 funds representing the rate increase retroactive to January 1, 2008.

On January 4, 2008 we announced the appointment of John M. Hill as our new President and Chief
Executive Officer, replacing Mary Jane Johnson, who resigned for health reasons effective December 14, 2007.

In January 2008, our
Pennsylvania and Maryland Medicare Advantage health plan client, representing $2.2 million, or 23.9%, of our total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2008, issued a RFP for management of behavioral healthcare services for its
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Texas regions. We submitted a bid to retain our current business from this client as well as contract for the Texas membership. In March 2008, our client sent us a termination notice relating to the Pennsylvania region.
Revenues under this contract accounted for $1.8 million, or 19.2%, and $0.5 million, or 6.3%, of our operating revenues for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our client intends to select a finalist in May
2008 with an effective date of July 1, 2008 for a new agreement.

Beginning January 1, 2008 and throughout the remainder of 2008,
one of our existing commercial health plan clients in Indiana will be exiting the group health plan business. This health plan will not be renewing any of its existing customer contracts, as all of their members are being transitioned to other
health plans. The health plan accounted for approximately 5.0%, or $1.9 million, of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007.

On July 19, 2007, we received from an existing client in Texas a notice of termination which resulted in termination of our contract effective November 30, 2007. This client accounted for 7.6%, or $2.8 million, of our revenues for
the year ended December 31, 2007 and had been a customer since 1998.

On May 21, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a change
in our fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31, effective December 31, 2006, to align our fiscal year end with that of Hythiam to obtain reporting efficiencies and cost reductions. In addition, a calendar year end coincides with
that of our major Indiana client, which accounted for approximately 40.2% of our revenues during 2007. The seven months ended December 31, 2006 was our transition period for financial reporting purposes.

On January 12, 2007 Hythiam acquired all of the membership interests of Woodcliff, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Hythiam. Through
Woodcliff, Hythiam owns 1,739,130 shares of our common stock and 14,400 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is convertible into 4,235,328 shares of our common stock, and assuming conversion, Hythiam has the
ability to control 5,974,458 shares or 49.53% of our common stock based upon shares outstanding at May 6, 2008.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we reported a net loss of $1.4 million, or
$0.19 loss per share (basic and diluted). In comparison, we reported a net loss of $704,000, or $0.09 loss per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The following tables summarize the Companys operating results from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating revenues from capitated contracts increased 7.3%, or approximately $620,000, to $9.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to $2.2 million of additional business from three existing customers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Michigan and
Indiana, offset by the loss of three clients in Indiana and Texas accounting for approximately $1.4 million of revenue. Non-capitated revenue increased 5.1% or approximately $12,000, to $246,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008,
compared to $234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Claims expense on capitated contracts increased approximately $1.2
million or 17.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to higher capitated revenues and higher medical loss ratios related to clients in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
Accordingly, claims expense as a percentage of capitated revenues increased from 81.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 89.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Other healthcare expenses, attributable to servicing both
capitated contracts and non-capitated contracts, increased 17.9%, or approximately $241,000 due primarily to staffing additions in response to the aforementioned increase in revenues in Indiana and Pennsylvania, and upgrades to our healthcare
management information system.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 12.3%, or approximately $133,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. Expenses of the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 included approximately $436,000 of costs related to a proposed merger with Hythiam that was attempted
during the quarter but not completed. In comparison, residual merger expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were not material. Offsetting the lower merger expenses in 2008 were increased costs for executive recruiting,
marketing salaries, and consulting services totaling $156,000. General and administrative expense as a percentage of operating revenue decreased from 12.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 10.2% for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, due to higher operating revenues.

SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS

Historically, we have experienced increased member utilization during the months of March, April and May, and consistently low utilization by members
during the months of June, July, and August. Such variations in member utilization impact our costs of care during these months, generally having a positive impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the June through August period and
a negative impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the months of March through May.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES



CONCENTRATION OF RISK

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, 89.3% of our operating revenue was concentrated in contracts with four health plans to provide behavioral
healthcare services under commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP plans. For the same period of the prior year, 85.7% of our operating revenue was concentrated in contracts with six health plans. The term of each contract is generally for one year
and is automatically renewable for additional one-year periods unless terminated by either party by giving the requisite written notice. The loss of one or more of these clients, unless replaced by new business, would negatively affect our financial
condition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, net cash used in operations totaled $2.4 million. Approximately $600,000 in cash was used to pay
accrued claims payable relating to three contracts that terminated during the three months ended December 31, 2007, with minimal corresponding revenue in 2008. In addition, a contractually required severance payment of $410,000 was made to our
former Chief Executive Officer. Cash used in investing activities is comprised of $22,000 in additions to property and equipment offset by $7,000 in proceeds from payments received on notes receivable. Cash provided by financing activities consists
primarily of $32,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock less payment of other liabilities of $13,000.

During the three
months ended March 31, 2007, our cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.7 million, primarily due to timing differences of monies received from our Indiana contract, and claims paid to our providers related to this contract. Cash flows
attributed to investing activities consist primarily of $32,000 in outflows for additions to property and equipment offset by $5,000 in proceeds from payments received on notes receivable. Cash provided by financing activities consists of $19,000 in
net proceeds from the issuance of common stock less payment of other liabilities of $13,000.

At March 31, 2008, cash and cash
equivalents were approximately $3.9 million. Although we had a working capital deficit of $2.2 million and a stockholders deficit of $5.5 million at March 31, 2008, we expect positive net cash flow from the restructuring of existing
contracts, as well as the addition of new contracts, and as a result, management believes we will have sufficient cash reserves to sustain current operations and to meet our current obligations.

Our unpaid claims liability is estimated using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and other statistical analyses. These estimates are
subject to the effects of trends in utilization and other factors. Any significant increase in member utilization that falls outside of our estimations would increase healthcare operating expenses and may impact our ability to achieve and sustain
profitability and positive cash flow. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, we believe that our unpaid claims liability is adequate. However, actual results could differ from the $5.6 million claims payable amount reported
as of March 31, 2008.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments to develop the amounts reflected
and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, most notably our estimate for claims incurred but not yet reported (IBNR). On an on-going basis, we evaluate the appropriateness of our estimates and we maintain a thorough process
to review the application of our accounting policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.

We believe our accounting policies specific to revenue recognition, accrued claims payable, premium
deficiencies, goodwill, and stock compensation expense involve our most significant judgments and estimates that are material to our consolidated financial statements (see Note 1  Description of the Companys Business and Basis of
Presentation to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements).

REVENUE RECOGNITION

We provide managed behavioral healthcare and substance abuse services to recipients, primarily through subcontracts with HMOs. Revenue under the vast
majority of these agreements is earned and recognized monthly based on the number of covered members as reported to us by our clients regardless of whether services actually provided are lesser or greater than anticipated when we entered into such
contracts (generally referred to as capitation arrangements). The information regarding the number of covered members is supplied by our clients and we review membership eligibility records and other reported information to verify its accuracy in
calculating the amount of revenue to be recognized. Consequently, the vast majority of our revenue is determined by the monthly receipt of covered member information and the associated payment from the client, thereby removing uncertainty and
precluding us from needing to make assumptions to estimate monthly revenue amounts.

Under our major Indiana contract, approximately
$200,000 of our monthly revenue is dependent on our satisfaction of various monthly performance criteria. The revenue is recognized only after verification that the specified performance targets have been achieved.

We may experience adjustments to our revenues to reflect changes in the number and eligibility status of members subsequent to when revenue is
recognized. Subsequent adjustments to our revenue have not been material.

ACCRUED CLAIMS PAYABLE
AND CLAIMS EXPENSE

Healthcare operating expenses are composed of claims expense and other
healthcare expenses. Claims expense includes amounts paid to hospitals, physician groups and other managed care organizations under capitated contracts. Other healthcare expenses include items such as information systems, case management and quality
assurance, attributable to both capitated and non-capitated contracts.

The cost of behavioral health services is recognized in the period
in which an eligible member actually receives services and includes an estimate of IBNR. We contract with various healthcare providers including hospitals, physician groups and other managed care organizations either on a discounted fee-for-service
or a per-case basis. We determine that a member has received services when we receive a claim within the contracted timeframe with all required billing elements correctly completed by the service provider. We then determine whether (1) the
member is eligible to receive such services, (2) the service provided is medically necessary and is covered by the benefit plans certificate of coverage, and (3) the service has been authorized by one of our employees. If all of
these requirements are met, the claim is entered into our claims system for payment and the associated cost of behavioral health services is recognized.

Accrued claims payable consists primarily of reserves established for reported claims and IBNR claims, which are unpaid through the respective balance sheet dates. Our policy is to record managements best
estimate of IBNR. The IBNR liability is estimated monthly using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and is continually reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect any change in the estimated liability as more information becomes
available. In deriving an initial range of estimates, we use an industry accepted actuarial model that incorporates past claims payment experience, enrollment data and key assumptions such as trends in healthcare costs and seasonality. Authorization
data, utilization statistics, calculated completion percentages and qualitative factors are then combined with the initial range to form the basis of managements best estimate of the accrued claims payable balance.

At March 31, 2008, the range of accrued claims payable was between $5.1 million and $6.3 million. Based on the information available, we determined
our best estimate of the accrued claims liability to be $5.6 million. Approximately $2.7 million of the $5.6 million accrued claims payable balance at March 31, 2008 is attributable to our major Indiana client. At December 31, 2007, the
accrued claims payable range was between $4.9 and $5.5 million, and our best estimate was determined to be $5.5 million. We have used the same methodology and assumptions for estimating the IBNR portion of the accrued claims liability for each
quarter-end.

Accrued claims payable at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is comprised of approximately $1.6 million and, $1.1
million, respectively, of submitted and approved claims, which had not yet been paid, and $4.0 million and, $4.4 million for IBNR claims, respectively.

Many aspects of our business are not predictable with consistency, and therefore, estimating IBNR claims involves a significant amount of management judgment. Actual claims incurred could differ from the estimated
claims payable amount presented. The following are factors that would have an impact on our future operations and financial condition:

A 5% increase in assumed healthcare cost trends from those used in our calculations of IBNR at March 31, 2008, could increase our claims expense by approximately $140,000 and reduce our net results per share by
$0.02 per share as illustrated in the table below:

PREMIUM DEFICIENCIES

We accrue losses under our capitated contracts when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
We perform this loss accrual analysis on a specific contract basis taking into consideration such factors as future contractual revenue, projected future healthcare and maintenance costs, and each contracts specific terms related to future
revenue increases as compared to expected increases in healthcare costs. The projected future healthcare and maintenance costs are estimated based on historical trends and our estimate of future cost increases.

At any time prior to the end of a contract or contract renewal, if a capitated contract is not meeting its financial goals, we generally have the ability
to cancel the contract with 60 to 90 days written notice. Prior to cancellation, we will submit a request for a rate increase accompanied by supporting utilization data. Although our clients have historically been generally receptive to such
requests, no assurance can be given that such requests will be fulfilled in the future in our favor. If a rate increase is not granted, we have the ability, in most cases, to terminate the contract and limit our risk to a short-term period.

On a quarterly basis, we perform a review of our portfolio of contracts for the purpose of identifying loss contracts (as defined in the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide  Health Care Organizations) and developing a contract loss reserve, if applicable, for succeeding periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we did
not identify any contracts where it was probable that a loss had been incurred and for which a loss could reasonably be estimated.

GOODWILL

We evaluate at least annually the amount of our recorded goodwill by performing an impairment test that compares the carrying amount to an
estimated fair value. In estimating the fair value, management makes its best assumptions regarding future cash flows and a discount rate to be applied to the cash flows to yield a present, fair value of equity. As a result of such tests, management
believes there is no material risk of loss from impairment of goodwill. However, actual results may differ significantly from managements assumptions, resulting in potentially adverse impact to our consolidated financial statements.

STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE

We issue stock-based awards to our employees and members of our Board of Directors. Effective June 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R and elected to apply
the modified-prospective method to measure compensation cost for stock options at fair value on the grant date and recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the service period for those options expected to vest. We use the
Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires certain variables for input to calculate the fair value of a stock award on the grant date. These variables include the expected volatility of our stock price, award exercise behaviors, the risk
free interest rate, and expected dividends. We use significant judgment in estimating expected volatility of the stock, exercise behavior and forfeiture rates.

Expected Volatility

We estimate the volatility of the share price by using historical data of
our traded stock in combination with managements expectation of the extent of fluctuation in future stock prices. We believe our historical volatility is more representative of future stock price volatility and as such it has been given
greater weight in estimating future volatility.

Expected Term

A variety of factors are considered in determining the expected term of options granted. Options granted are grouped by their homogeneity, based on the
optionees position, whether managerial or clerical, and length of service and turnover rate. Where possible, we analyze exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. For any group without sufficient information, we estimate the expected term
of the options granted by averaging the vesting term and the contractual term of the options.

Expected Forfeiture Rate

We generally separate our option awards into two groups: employee and non-employee awards. The historical data of each group are analyzed
independently to estimate the forfeiture rate of options at the time of grant. These estimates are revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from estimated forfeitures.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation
relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of this report, we are not currently involved in any legal proceeding that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or operating results.



|ITEM3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------ | ----------------------------------------------------------

While we currently have market risk sensitive instruments, we have no significant exposure to changing interest rates as
the interest rate on our long-term debt is fixed. Additionally, we do not use derivative financial instruments for investment or trading purposes and our investments are generally limited to cash deposits.



|ITEM4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------ | -----------------------

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as
of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in our
internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this report and that have affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
controls over financial reporting.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------ | -----------------

We
and nine current and former board members were named as defendants in two class action lawsuits filed by two shareholders on January 23, 2007 and February 1, 2007, respectively. In the similar complaints, filed in the Chancery Court of
Delaware, the plaintiffs sought permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent Hythiam from acquiring the remaining outstanding common shares that it did not own (either directly or through its wholly owned subsidiary, Woodcliff) from
the minority shareholders. The plaintiffs alleged that the consideration proposed to the minority shareholders by Hythiam was inadequate, through coercive means, without fair process and through material misleading information.

On May 25, 2007, we mutually terminated the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The lawsuits have now been dismissed as moot, but requests for attorney
fees by plaintiffs remain pending.

On June 15, 2007, a complaint was filed against us by two stockholders in the Delaware Court of
Chancery. The complaint seeks an order compelling us to deliver copies of requested books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, the complaint seeks payment of reasonable fees and expenses to the
plaintiffs and such other further relief that the Court may deem just and proper. We filed an answer to the complaint on July 11, 2007, in which we contend that the demand made by the plaintiffs does not comply with the form and manner of making a
demand for inspection under Section 220, that the plaintiffs failed to set forth or establish a proper purpose for inspection, and that the documents the plaintiffs seek to inspect are overly broad.
