                       Interim results and trading update


Interim results

Claimar Care, one of the UK's leading providers of domiciliary, high dependency
and acquired illness care services to local authorities, Primary Care Trusts and
the NHS announces that it will publish its interim results, in respect of the 6
months ended 31 March 2008, on Monday 30 June 2008.


Trading update

In general, the current financial year to date has been one of further progress
for Claimar Care:

   *The group has been successful in winning two new contracts with an
    aggregate value of approximately #13,728,000 during the expected five year
    term of the contracts. One of the contracts has been awarded by an existing
    local authority where we have been awarded a 50% increase in volume, the
    other contract awarded is in Rotherham, a new client for the group. These
    two contracts will add over 5,000 hours per week when they reach their full
    value. On the other hand, we were unsuccessful in extending three other
    contracts, in two cases because we considered the proposed fees to be
    untenable; these three contracts represented approximately 1600 hours in
    aggregate.

   *Unfortunately, as anticipated in the 2007 annual report, we have been
    unable to recover fully the increased cost arising as a result of the
    working time directive.

   *We completed the #33.1 million acquisition of Complete Care Holdings
    Limited, a Shropshire based provider of bespoke care packages for the
    severely disabled. Complete Care is experiencing encouraging levels of new
    business.

   *Primary Care Services, our training services provider, is experiencing
    high levels of activity, new enrolments for its NVQ courses are in line with
    our expectations; there remains a significant level of opportunity in this
    area, in supplying services both to our group companies and other providers
    in the market.

The Board anticipates that the interim results will represent a substantial
improvement over those of the prior year. It also anticipates, in light
primarily of the factors described above, that the performance for the year
ending 30 September 2008 will be broadly in line with current market
expectations.

Non- Executive Chairman John Crabtree commented:

"The group continues to make good progress and we continue to view its prospects
with every confidence".
