CareCentric Reports2nd Quarter 2003 Financial Results

ATLANTA, GA (August 7, 2003) - CareCentric, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CURA), a leading provider of management information systems to the home health care community, reports today its financial results for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2003. Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.2 million, which represented an increase of $0.2 million over the nominal Net Loss reported for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The Company reported a slight decrease in revenues of 3.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $5.6 million against revenues of $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The Net Cash provided from Operating Activities during the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $0.4 million represented a $1.1 million improvement when compared against the Use of Net Cash from Operating Activities of $0.7 million reported for the 2nd quarter of 2002.

"Our second quarter results for 2003 represent the fourth consecutive quarter of profitability," stated John R. Festa, President and CEO of CareCentric. "We are pleased to report that during the second quarter, the Company funded both its new product development efforts and $0.8 million of bank debt payments from operating cash flow. These objectives were met while second quarter sales of new systems remained somewhat soft and six-month revenues of $11.1 million are unchanged from six-month revenues reported in 2002. We have found," continued Mr. Festa, "that the combination of changing HIPAA regulations and the 15% reduction in reimbursement rates has caused delays in many of our customers’ decisions to upgrade their IT systems."

Mr. Festa added, "We continue to work diligently on improving our customer service levels and collaborating with our customers to ensure our new product development efforts deliver a family of products which will strongly facilitate our customers’ profitable management of their home care agencies and medical equipment provider businesses. We remain confident that our continuing enhancements to existing products and our expenditures for development of products leveraging new technology platforms will help grow our future revenues as regulatory cost reductions stabilize and the economy strengthens."

"The Board remains very pleased with the continuing financial performance of the Company," said John Reed, Chairman of the Board of Directors. "The investment of operating cash into new products and the repayment of bank debt is consistent with the best interests of both our customers and shareholders."

CareCentric provides information technology systems and services to over 1,500 customers. CareCentric provides freestanding, hospital-based and multi-office home health care providers (including skilled nursing, private duty, home medical equipment and supplies, IV pharmacy and hospice) complete information solutions that enable these home care operations to generate and utilize comprehensive and integrated financial, operational and clinical information.
