DALLAS, TX today announced record financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. Highlights include:

--  Reported a quarterly profit of $521 thousand in net income, or $0.03
    per diluted share, resulting in three consecutive quarters of profit
    growth.

--  Achieved $11.5 million in revenue for the quarter, a record 407% rise
    in revenues for Q1 2008 compared to Q1 2007, representing four quarters
    of sequential revenue growth.

--  Attained gross margins of approximately 15% compared to 7% in Q1 2007,
    reflecting continued leverage of the Company's fixed cost
    infrastructure.

--  Generated EBITDA, as adjusted, of $784 thousand for the quarter.

      - EBITDA, as adjusted, (a non-GAAP measure) is defined as income
        (loss) from operations less depreciation and amortization, non-cash
        warrant and option compensation expense and executive severance.
        EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, but not
        in lieu of, income (loss) from operations reported under generally
        accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

--  The Company finished the quarter with $5.9 million in cash on hand and
    generated $1.6 million in cash from operating activities in the first
    quarter, the largest cash flow volume in the Company's history.

--  Claims volume increased to approximately 60 thousand for Q1 2008, up
    278% over Q1 2007.

--  Recent key executive additions:

      - Matthew Thompson appointed to Controller and Chief Accounting
        Officer.

Commenting on today's announcement, David S. Boone, Chief Executive Officer of American CareSource, stated, "We are very pleased to report such strong quarterly financial results. With renewed focus, we have now developed the most comprehensive national network of ancillary healthcare services providers in the country and, as a result, we are bringing our clients a wider range of services with highly favorable economics. We continue to deliver real cost savings to our clients and are demonstrating the value of our business model.

"The tremendous surge in revenues for the first quarter and the dramatic improvement in profitability compared to the same period of 2007, is a continuation of the trend we began last year and reflect both organic growth as well as the addition of several new clients during the past year. Given where we stand today and taking into account expected new client wins, further expansion of our provider network and growth in current client business, we continue to believe that the Company is on track to exceed its initial guidance of $50 million in revenues for the full year."

Revenues for the first quarter of 2008 rose 407% to $11.5 million compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. The Company's first quarter revenues also represent a 14% improvement over fourth quarter 2007 reported revenues of $10.1 million.

The Company reported net income of $521 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008, compared to a net loss of $611 thousand, or $0.04 per share, in the same period last year. Factors affecting positive current quarter results include increases in revenue from the addition of five new clients which began with the Company in 2007 and the expansion of services for existing clients.

Cash provided by operations was $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2008 versus negative $546 thousand in the first quarter of 2007. Factors affecting the improvement in operating cash flows include earnings growth, accelerated client collections and overall effectiveness in working capital management. At March 31, 2008, the Company had $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2007.
