LifeCare Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quart...(tinguishment of debt for the nine months...),Health

Date:11/14/2007

tinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was the result of our repurchasing $3 million in face of our senior subordinated notes for an amount approximating $1.5 million.

These increases were due to the result of inflationary increases and the increases in bed capacity and patient days.
