Stephen Everett, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our results for the third quarter of 2006, which have again demonstrated our commitment to building Dialysis Corporation of America, including opening two new centers during the quarter, while increasing shareholder value. We are currently developing three additional centers and have a solid pipeline of new opportunities that are being explored."

Financial results for the period included operating revenues of approximately $698,000 for our Toledo, Ohio subsidiary, which has been consolidated for financial recording purposes since August 1, pre-tax costs associated with the opening of new centers of $324,000 for the third quarter of 2006 and $1,171,000 for the first nine months of 2006. Non-cash stock compensation expense of $122,000 was included in our results of operations for the third quarter with such costs totaling $293,000 for the first nine months of 2006. Additionally, we incurred costs of $163,000 during the third quarter and $177,000 for the first nine months of 2006 for review and implementation costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance, which was offset by $215,000 of non-recurring revenues associated with litigation settlements.

Dialysis Corporation of America currently owns or manages 32 free-standing operating kidney hemodialysis centers in Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia providing patients with a full range of quality in-center and at-home dialysis services, as well as providing in-hospital services.
