SOUTHFIELD, MI: July 6, 2006: Arcadia Resources, Inc. (AMEX: KAD), announced completion of a new $15 million debt financing from one of its long-term shareholders, Jana Master Fund, Ltd., and the filing of the related Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“We are pleased with the confidence that Jana Master Fund continues to show in Arcadia,” said Chairman and CEO, John E. Elliott II. “This capital allows us to realign our balance sheet and make ready for certain acquisitions that we are pursuing. We plan to continue along our path of strong internal growth, coupled with other selective acquisitions and the initiation of start up locations. Recently, we agreed to place nine walk-in, routine (non-emergency) medical clinics inside select Meijer supercenter stores in Indiana over the next 12 months.
“We continue to believe the furtherance of consumer-driven health care is quickly evolving for patients in the United States and we intend to be an instrumental part of this movement toward more patient choice — driven by accessibility, lifestyle choices and personal spending latitude, rather than by insurance or managed care companies or the traditional government programs. Our consumer health care business continues to be our emerging business that we believe to be the future of health care. It incorporates our people and our products. We also plan to continue to open stores or clinics within other hosts.”
