    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Operating Highlights:
    ---------------------
    -   Record setting snow storms in Maryland and Delaware led to the
        temporary closures of U.S. medical imaging centers and referring
        physician offices, negatively impacting Q1/10 results;
    -   Revenue increased in Canadian operations through organic growth in
        medical imaging services and increased cap revenue in laboratory
        services based on the Ontario Ministry of Health funding agreement;
    -   Successful transition with U.S. senior management;
    -   New RIS/PACS system successfully piloted and is planned for
        deployment in Maryland and Delaware in the second quarter;
    -   Northeast U.S. acquisitions made in 2009 experiencing growth as
        expected;
    -   Progress made with positive results from Canadian center
        refurbishment initiative.
    

"Our Canadian businesses performed well in the first quarter of 2010, reporting increased revenue through organic growth. In the U.S., we are pleased with the early results from our latest acquisition in Rhode Island which is tracking to plan," said Paul Bristow, President and CEO of CML HealthCare Income Fund. "The severe winter weather in February resulted in the closure of our centers in Maryland and Delaware for a number of days, and together with the extended closures of physicians' offices, our overall U.S. medical imaging business experienced lower patient visits in the quarter," continued Mr. Bristow. "Year over year comparisons of U.S. based revenues, expenses and earnings reflect the strengthened Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar."

"With respect to our strategy for 2011, in light of taxes being applied to income trust distributions, I would like to confirm the Fund will be converting into a corporation on January 1, 2011," continued Mr. Bristow. "We are in the process of working with our professional advisors on all details including finalizing the post conversion dividend policy, which will be disseminated to the investment community by the end of the third quarter. For the balance of 2010, we anticipate the monthly distribution of $0.08927 per unit will remain unchanged."

    
    Financial Results
    -----------------
    

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 ("Q1 2010"), revenue for the Fund decreased 2.3% to $125.4 million from $128.3 million for the same period in 2009. Decreased revenue in Q1 2010 was largely attributable to:

    
    -   $6.8 million from changes in foreign exchange rates;
    -   Negative impact on patient flow due to inclement weather in the U.S.
        and difficult market conditions; and
    -   $0.6 million in one-time imaging and laboratory services
        reimbursements in Canada recorded in Q1 2009 not applicable in
        Q1 2010;
    

The above declines in revenue were partially offset by:

    
    -   $3.9 million in new revenue from the addition of seven centers in the
        U.S. Northeast in 2009;
    -   $2.1 million increase from organic growth in imaging services in
        Canada; and
    -   $1.7 million increase in cap revenue based on the Ministry of Health
        (MOH) Funding agreement for laboratory services
    

Operating, general and administrative ("OG&A") expenses totaled $94.7 million in Q1 2010. OG&A increased due to the addition of seven centers in the U.S. Northeast in 2009 and additional costs to support organic growth in Canada offset by a $6.1 decrease in OG&A for U.S. operations due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Q1 2010 EBITDA (1) totaled $30.7 million compared to $33.6 million in Q1 2009. EBITDA(1) margin of 24.5% was lower than Q1 2009 of 26.2% largely as a result of a higher proportion of consolidated revenue being derived from medical imaging services acquired in the U.S. Northeast over the past two years and lower revenues in the U.S. business for reasons previously noted.

The Fund's net earnings for Q1 2010 of $20.9 million or $0.23 per Fund unit were 9.1% lower than $23.0 million or $0.26 per unit in Q1 2009. Net earnings include the impact of a one-time pre-tax restructuring charge of US$1.6 million associated with the departure of the President and CEO and the CFO of the U.S. imaging business in Q1 2010.

Revenue in Q1 2010 increased 3.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2009. The increase includes: i) $2.1 million in organic growth in imaging services and; ii) $1.7 million increase in cap revenue based on the MOH agreement. The increased revenue was partially offset by $0.6 million in one-time imaging and laboratory services reimbursements recorded in Q1 2009, not applicable in Q1 2010. The higher OG&A expense in Q1 2010 was largely in line with the revenue increases to support growth.

The increase in revenue and OG&A expense in Q1 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 reflects the addition of seven centers in the U.S. Northeast in 2009. The increase in revenue was partially offset by the negative impact from the inclement weather in the mid-Atlantic region during Q1 2010, lower reimbursement rates from Medicare, as well as the continued challenging economic market place. The Q1 2010 EBITDA(1) margin of 2.7% was lower than 10.6% in Q1 2009 as a result of the previously noted factors.

    Notice of Conference Call
    -------------------------
    

Management of CML HealthCare Income Fund will host a conference call today, Thursday, May 6, 2010 at 10:00 am (EST) to discuss the Fund's 2010 first quarter financial results. A live audio webcast of the call will be available at www.cmlhealthcare.com. Please connect at least 15 minutes prior to the conference call to ensure adequate time for any software download that may be needed to hear the webcast. An archived replay of the webcast will be available for 90 days. A taped replay of the conference call will also be available until Thursday, May 13th, 2010 by calling 1-800-642-1687 or 416-849-0833, reference number 70102201 followed by the number sign.

    
    (1) The Fund defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes,
        amortization, other expenses, goodwill impairment, gain/loss on
        disposals of property and equipment, foreign exchange gain and
        transaction costs on debt financing. EBITDA margins are calculated by
        dividing EBITDA by revenue. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under
        Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
        Management believes that, in addition to net earnings, EBITDA is a
        useful supplemental measure, as it provides investors with an
        indication of the Fund's performance. EBITDA is used by the Fund to
        analyze performance and compare profitability between periods.
        Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA should not be
        construed as an alternative to net earnings determined in accordance
        with GAAP. The Fund's method of calculating EBITDA may differ from
        other companies or income trusts and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be
        comparable to measures used by other companies or income trusts.

    (2) Distributable Cash of the Fund is not a Canadian GAAP measure, and
        though it is generally used by Canadian open-ended trusts as an
        indicator of financial performance, it should not be seen as a
        measure of liquidity or a substitute for comparable metrics prepared
        in accordance with GAAP. One characteristic of certain non-GAAP
        measures such as Distributable Cash is the inclusion of management's
        adjustments for entity-specific issues not contemplated in a standard
        measurement, such as Standardized Distributable Cash that focuses on
        comparability across entities and consistency over time. Therefore,
        the Fund's Distributable Cash may differ from similar calculations as
        reported by other similar entities and, accordingly, may not be
        comparable to Distributable Cash as reported by such entities. The
        Fund's objective for disclosing the Distributable Cash calculation is
        to outline the net cash flow generated by the Fund that was available
        for distribution during the period and anticipated to be sustainable
        into the next period. The Fund uses Distributable Cash to evaluate,
        on a consistent basis, sustainable cash generated from its
        operations, and to evaluate cash available for distributions.

    (3) On July 18, 2007, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants
        issued its interpretive release "Standardized Distributable Cash in
        Income Trusts and Other Flow Through Entities: Guidance on
        Preparation and Disclosures". The Fund has reviewed the interpretive
        release and has adopted the guidance as applicable to the Fund. The
        above table represents a summarized presentation. Please refer to our
        March 31, 2010 Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for
        complete disclosure relating to Standardized Distributable Cash.

    (4) Comprised of adjustments related to known and measurable timing
        differences in respect of MOH cap revenue receivables; insurance
        adjustments; bonus adjustments; and a one-time settlement of
        non-operating receivables relating to prior years.

    (5) Discretionary/Non-recurring expenses represent one-time legal costs
        incurred in the quarter

    (6) Non-recurring revenue/(expense recoveries) represents one-time sales
        tax recoveries in the quarter.
