Income From Continuing Operations Increased to $0.16 From $0.06 in Prior Year

    LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ --
    Almost Family, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFAM) announced record earnings for the three
and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000.
    For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company reported net
income from continuing operations of $504,072 or $0.16 per share on revenues
of $12,545,155.  In the same quarter last year, the Company reported net
income from continuing operations of $199,387 or $0.06 per share on revenues
of $11,105,137.  The Company attributed the increase in earnings of over 150%
to higher sales volumes and increased attendance in its adult day care
facilities.
    For the six months ended September 30, 2000, the Company reported net
income from continuing operations of $794,786 or $0.25 per share on revenues
of $24,321,595.  In the same period last year, the Company reported net income
from continuing operations of $202,707 or $0.06 per share on revenues of
$21,440,145.  The 1999 results included a $0.02 non-recurring loss on the sale
of a building.  As for the quarter, the higher earnings, up 292% for the six-
months, resulted primarily from higher sales volumes.
   "Continued volume growth in existing facilities has enabled us to produce
significant year-over-year performance improvements.  Revenues for the quarter
were up 13% over last year while net income increased over 150%.
Additionally, we have continued the development of additional in-center
capacity increasing it in total by about 10% from the previous year," said
William B. Yarmuth, Almost Family's Chairman and CEO.  "As we discussed in our
recent annual letter to the shareholders, we continue to expand our capacity
at a pace consistent with our volume growth in an effort to produce long-term
sustainable growth in earnings and cash flows."
