Arcadia HealthCare Announces $32.5M Extension of Maturities with
JANA Partners and Comerica Bank
Deals Improve Balance Sheet and Lowers Interest Expense

Indianapolis, Indiana – January 31, 2008 - Arcadia Resources, Inc. (AMEX: KAD) which provides innovative consumer health care services under the trade name Arcadia HealthCare, announced today that it has completed an extension of approximately $15.5 million of short-term debt held by affiliates of Jana Partners, LLC and the extension of approximately $17 million of short-term debt held by Comerica Bank in two separate transactions.

Under the terms of the agreements, the original debt obligations, one which was due on June 30, 2008 and the other which was due on October 1, 2008, will both have a new maturity date of October 1, 2009. Additionally, the JANA extension provides a fixed annual interest expense of 10% beginning on April 1, 2008, versus the previous rate of LIBOR +8%, resulting in a reduction in Arcadia's go-forward interest expense. All other material terms of the debt obligations remain unchanged.

"Converting this short-term debt to a longer maturity improves our balance sheet and provides Arcadia with additional resources to fuel continued revenue growth," said Marvin R. Richardson, Chief Executive Officer and President of Arcadia Resources, Inc. "This debt restructuring is a testament to our ongoing commitment to being fiscally responsible, allowing us to focus the company's attention on driving sales growth, serving our customers and delivering value to our shareholders. Moreover, we are certainly pleased that JANA and Comerica recognize the success of our turnaround efforts and remain engaged with our go-forward business strategies."
