<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Explanatory Note</B>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August&nbsp;24, 2004, the stockholders of Continucare Corporation (the
&#147;Company&#148;), approved the amendment of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated 2000
Stock Option Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) to, among other things, increase the maximum
number of shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (the &#147;Common
Stock&#148;), that may be issued under the plan by 3,000,000 shares. This
Registration Statement has been filed to register the additional 3,000,000
shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The additional shares to be registered by this Registration Statement are
of the same class as those securities covered by the Company&#146;s Registration
Statement on Form S-8 previously filed on May&nbsp;18, 2001 (Registration No.
333-61246) (the &#147;Earlier Registration Statement&#148;) covering the initial
4,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan. Pursuant to General
Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Earlier Registration Statement
are incorporated herein by reference.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has authority under Section&nbsp;607.0850 of the Florida Business
Corporation Act to indemnify its directors and officers to the extent provided
for in such statute. The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide that it shall indemnify and may insure its
officers and directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. The Company
also maintains a policy of directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance that
insures, subject to certain exclusions, its directors and officers against the
cost of defense, settlement of, or payment of a judgment in connection with a
proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made
a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer
of the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that authorize
indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and in
appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of nonmonetary relief will remain available under Florida law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability in the event the
director breaches or fails to perform his or her duties as a director and such
director&#146;s breach of, or failure to perform, such duties constitutes (a)&nbsp;a
violation of the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his
or her conduct was unlawful; (b)&nbsp;a transaction from which the director derives
an improper personal benefit; (c)&nbsp;voting for or assenting to an unlawful
distribution; and (d)&nbsp;willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best
interest of the Company in a proceeding by or in the right of the Company to
procure a judgment in this favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a
shareholder. The statute does not affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under
any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal
environmental laws.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to Rule 416 this Registration Statement shall also cover any
additional shares of Common Stock which may become issuable under the
Continucare Corporation Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan by
reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other
similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration which
results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common

Explanatory Note
On August 24, 2004, the stockholders of Continucare Corporation (the
"Company"), approved the amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated 2000
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") to, among other things, increase the maximum
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (the "Common
Stock"), that may be issued under the plan by 3,000,000 shares. This
Registration Statement has been filed to register the additional 3,000,000
shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan.
The additional shares to be registered by this Registration Statement are
of the same class as those securities covered by the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-8 previously filed on May 18, 2001 (Registration No.
333-61246) (the "Earlier Registration Statement") covering the initial
4,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan. Pursuant to General
Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Earlier Registration Statement
are incorporated herein by reference.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated herein by this
reference:
(1)
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2004, filed with the Commission on September 28, 2004.
1
(2)
The description of the Company's Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per
share, contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (SEC
File No. 33-88580), as amended, under the heading "Description of
Securities."
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the
date of filing of such documents.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company has authority under Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business
Corporation Act to indemnify its directors and officers to the extent provided
for in such statute. The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide that it shall indemnify and may insure its
officers and directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. The Company
also maintains a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that
insures, subject to certain exclusions, its directors and officers against the
cost of defense, settlement of, or payment of a judgment in connection with a
proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made
a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer
of the Company.
The provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that authorize
indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and in
appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of nonmonetary relief will remain available under Florida law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability in the event the
director breaches or fails to perform his or her duties as a director and such
director's breach of, or failure to perform, such duties constitutes (a) a
violation of the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his
or her conduct was unlawful; (b) a transaction from which the director derives
an improper personal benefit; (c) voting for or assenting to an unlawful
distribution; and (d) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best
interest of the Company in a proceeding by or in the right of the Company to
procure a judgment in this favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a
shareholder. The statute does not affect a director's responsibilities under
any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal
environmental laws.

Statement).
Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration
Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
3
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
