Arcadia Resources Announces Sale of Non-Strategic Businesses

-- Home Health Equipment business sold in two separate transactions

-- Industrial staffing business sold

-- Results in debt reduction, additional working capital to fund DailyMed(TM)
growth

INDIANAPOLIS, May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Arcadia Resources, Inc. (NYSE
Amex: KAD), a leading provider of home care, medical staffing, and pharmacy
services under the Arcadia HealthCare(SM) brand, today announced the sale of
two non-strategic businesses. Arcadia sold its Home Health Equipment (HHE)
business and industrial staffing business in three separate transactions, and
is now focused on two divisions: Arcadia Home Care/Medical Staffing and
DailyMed pharmacy services. The HHE transactions have been closed, and a
definitive agreement has been signed for the sale of the industrial staffing
business, which will close on May 29, 2009.

Arcadia said total cash proceeds from the HHE and industrial staffing sales
are expected to be approximately $11.2 million, including approximately $2.0
million in retained accounts receivable. Of this total, $1.5 million will be
paid to the Company over the next 12 months. The Company can receive an
additional $1.6 million based upon the future performance of the industrial
staffing business.

The Company said it expects to generate $8.8 million in cash net of certain
obligations and will use $5.9 million to reduce its debt by approximately 15
percent. Arcadia said it will use the remaining $3.3 million from the sales,
along with $3 million in new debt raised in March 2009, to support its rapidly
growing DailyMed business.

"We set this strategic plan in motion last year to exit these non-core
segments, and we now have a more streamlined business model and additional
resources to invest in our high-growth DailyMed product and our core Arcadia
Home Care/Medical Staffing division," said Arcadia's CEO Marvin Richardson.
"The recent government reimbursement changes in Home Health Equipment,
combined with the underperformance of industrial staffing due to deteriorating
conditions of U.S. manufacturers, created further operational challenges for
us within these non-core segments. By divesting these assets and focusing our
attention on our higher growth and higher profit-potential areas, we expect to
build value more quickly for our company and our shareholders."

Arcadia also announced it expects to report the results of the sold HHE and
industrial staffing businesses as discontinued operations in its fourth
quarter and year-end results.

"In March 2009, we extended the majority of our debt to 2012 and raised an
additional $3 million," said Richardson. "It's a significant accomplishment
to be able to restructure and reduce debt, raise additional working capital
and divest of non-core assets - all during difficult industry and
macro-economic conditions - and reflects the strength of our team and our
enthusiasm for the potential of our continuing operations. We remain
committed to our vision of 'Keeping People at Home and Healthier Longer,' and
believe we're well positioned for growth."
