AdCare Health Systems, Inc. Reports Financial Results for 2007

Continues To Reduce Losses

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AdCare Health
Systems, Inc. (Amex: ADK), an Ohio based long term care, home care and
management company today reported financial results for its year ending
December 31, 2007.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $23,667,756 as compared
to $22,549,485 in 2006, an increase of $1,118,271. The improvement was
primarily due to increased occupancy in our assisted living facilities and an
increase in visits made by our nurses and care givers at our home health care
division.
The loss before discontinued operations for the year ended December 31,
2007 was $627,552 as compared to a loss of $2,413,794 for 2006, an improvement
of $1,786,242 or 74%. In general, the improvement was due to increased
occupancy at our assisted living properties, more home health care visits,
lower interest expense as a result of the expenses related to our mezzanine
financing in 2005 being fully recognized in 2006, increasing the reserve for
our investment note in the Lincoln Lodge property and recognizing an income
tax benefit.
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $218,928 as compared
to a net loss of $2,441,217 for 2006, an improvement of $2,222,289 or 89% and
helped by recognizing a gain on the sale of assets in discontinued operations.
Basic and diluted net loss per share for 2007 was $0.05 as compared to a basic
and diluted net loss per share of $1.09 for 2006, an improvement of $1.04 per
share.
David A. Tenwick, Chairman of AdCare, stated that, "AdCare reduced its
losses in each quarter of 2007 as compared to 2006 and continues to move
toward profitability in 2008. Going public in November of 2006 was the
prelude to expanding our operations, securing liquidity for our shareholders
and having the ability to use our stock for making acquisitions." In that
regard, Mr. Tenwick added that he is excited about having GCC Capital Group
and Prospect Financial Advisors "on board to assist in identifying, evaluating
and securing alternative capital, financing and investment sources to further
AdCare's expansion plans."
