TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Comprehensive Care Corporation ("CompCare" or the "Company") (OTCBB:CHCR) announced today that it expects to report revenue for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 of between $17.5 million and $18.0 million, representing a significant increase over revenue of approximately $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2010 and far outpacing revenue of approximately $3.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. For its fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, CompCare expects to report revenue of approximately $35 million, an increase of 146% compared to approximately $14.2 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Commenting on the quarter, Clark A. Marcus, CompCare’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We signed a significant number of new contracts in 2010 that became fully operational during the fourth quarter. As a result, revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010, estimated to be between $17.5 million and $18.0 million, increased over 100% compared to the third quarter of 2010. We expect this growth to continue during 2011. The increased revenue in the fourth quarter resulted, for the most part, from efforts and programs put in place during the earlier part of the year which began getting traction in the second and third quarters of 2010. We believe that we enter 2011 with a strong foundation for growth based on a strong management and sales team of experienced healthcare professionals and the ability to compete for a broader range of new, larger contracts. We believe that our pipeline, compared to a year ago, is even stronger and the breadth of our products deeper, which we expect will give us the ability to increase our range of potential customers.”
Revenue and other financial estimates contained in this press release have not been audited or reviewed by CompCare’s independent auditors, and accordingly they express no opinion or other form of assurance as to this information. The Company provides no assurance that these preliminary results will not change following the Company’s completion of its financial audit of results of operations for fiscal 2010, which is expected to be completed during March 2011.
