              Advocat Inc. Stock Has Been Delisted from
         Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange at the Company's Demand

   FRANKLIN, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2004--Advocat Inc.
(NASDAQ OTC: AVCA) today announced that it has succeeded in having its
stock removed from trading on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange.
Advocat is one of many American companies whose stock was listed on
the foreign exchange without their knowledge or authorization. As
previously announced, Advocat sought delisting from the Berlin-Breman
Stock Exchange because Advocat's management believes that certain
investors may have been using the listing on the Berlin Exchange to
engage in a practice known as "naked short selling" that is now banned
in the United States.
    The suspension in trading of Advocat's stock on the Berlin-Bremen
exchange was effective as of the close of Berlin-Bremen market on June
28, 2004.
    Advocat continues to trade under the symbol "AVCA" in the United
States on the NASDAQ Over The Counter Bulletin Board. Investors
interested in obtaining shares of Advocat should purchase their shares
only from authorized broker-dealers who will execute trades on the
Over The Counter Bulletin Board.
    Forward-looking statements made in this release involve a number
of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, uncertainty
regarding the Company's ability to restructure or refinance its debt,
the impact of under-insured professional liability claims, factors
affecting the long-term care industry in general, governmental
reimbursement, government regulation, health care reforms, the impact
of future licensing surveys, changing economic and market conditions
and other risk factors detailed in the Company's Securities and
Exchange Commission filings. Advocat Inc. is not responsible for
updating the information contained in this press release beyond the
published date, or for changes made to this document by wire services
or Internet services.
