industrial, clerical, and technical personnel. The home care services include personal care aides,
home care aides, homemakers, companions, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech

facilities as well as providing staffing and other services and products to patients directly in
the home. These services are contractually agreed upon with institutional and facilities clients
and billed directly to the respective entity or other payor sources as determined and verified
prior to the provision of the services.
We have various products-based businesses including durable medical equipment businesses operating
in 11 states through 32 locations as of December 31, 2006, providing oxygen and other respiratory
therapy services and home medical equipment that operate under the names of the acquired businesses

mail-order pharmacy business located in Kentucky, Arcadia Rx, which serves the patients of all of
the Companys businesses and its own independent patient base. We operate a mail-order home
healthcare products catalog and have retail sites within certain mass retailer stores. We recently
began operating non-emergency health clinics within certain retail host sites in Michigan, Indiana

obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements even if experience or future
changes show that the indicated results or events will not be realized.
RISK FACTORS
We recently became a public company and have a limited operating history as a public company upon
which you can base an investment decision.
The shares of our Common Stock were quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board from August 2, 2002 through
June 30, 2006 and began trading on the American Stock Exchange on July 3, 2006. We have a limited
operating history as a public company upon which you can make an investment decision, or upon which
we can accurately forecast future sales. You should, therefore, consider us subject to all of the
business risks associated with a new business. The likelihood of our success must be considered in
light of the expenses, difficulties and delays frequently encountered in connection with the
formation and initial operations of a new and unproven business.
To finance the acquisition of Arcadia Services and our subsequent acquisitions, the Company
incurred significant debt which must be repaid. Our debt level could adversely affect our financial
health and affect our ability to run our business, as well as your investment in our Company.
We acquired Arcadia Services and Arcadia Rx on May 10, 2004. We incurred substantial debt to
finance the acquisition of Arcadia Services and our subsequent acquisitions. This debt has been
reduced periodically through capital infusions. As of December 31, 2006, the current portion of our
debt, including capital lease obligations, totals approximately $7.0 million, while the long-term
portion of our debt totals approximately $40.9 million, for a total of approximately $47.9 million.
This level of debt could have consequences to you as a holder of shares. Below are some of the
material potential consequences resulting from this amount of debt:
|
o |
|
We may be unable to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. |
4
|
o |
|
Our ability to adapt to changing market conditions may be hampered. We may be more
vulnerable in a volatile market and at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that
have less debt. |
|
|
o |
|
Our operating flexibility is more limited due to financial and other restrictive
covenants, including restrictions on incurring additional debt, creating liens on our
properties, making acquisitions and paying dividends. |
|
|
o |
|
We are subject to the risks that interest rates and our interest expense will increase. |
|
|
o |
|
Our ability to plan for, or react to, changes in our business is more limited. |
Under certain circumstances, we may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future. If we
add new debt, the related risks that we now face could intensify. In order to repay our debt
obligations timely and as discussed below, we must maintain adequate cash flow from operations or
raise additional capital from equity investment. Cash which we must use to repay these obligations
will reduce cash available for purposes, such as payment of operating expenses, investment in new
products and services offered by the Company, self-financing of acquisitions to grow the Companys
business, or distribution to our shareholders as a return on investment.
Due to our debt level, we may not be able to increase the amount we can draw on our revolving
credit facility with Comerica Bank, or to obtain credit from other sources, to fund our future
needs for working capital or acquisitions.
There is always the risk that Comerica Bank or other sources of credit may decline to increase the
amount we are permitted to draw on the revolving credit facility or to lend additional funds for
working capital or acquisition purposes. This development could result in various consequences to
the Company, ranging from implementation of cost reductions which could impact our product and
service offerings, to the modification or abandonment of our present business strategy.
On May 7, 2004, Arcadia Services and three of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a credit
agreement with Comerica Bank. The credit agreement, as amended, provides the borrowers with a
revolving credit facility of up to $19 million. The initial advance on May 7, 2004 was $11 million,
which was immediately distributed to RKDA, Inc. to fund a portion of the purchase price RKDA paid
to acquire the capital stock of Arcadia Services (we acquired RKDA on May 10, 2004 in a merger
transaction). All other advances under the credit facility shall be used primarily for working
capital or acquisition purposes. The revolving credit facility bears interest at the prime rate,
effectively 8.25% at December 31, 2006. The credit agreement provides that advances to the Company
will not exceed the lesser of the revolving credit commitment amount or the aggregate principal
amount of indebtedness permitted under the advance formula amount at any one time. The advance
formula base is 85% of the eligible accounts receivable, plus the lesser of 85% of eligible
unbilled accounts. The maturity date is October 1, 2008. Amounts outstanding under this agreement
totaled $17.7 million at December 31, 2006.
RKDA granted Comerica Bank a first priority security interest in all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Arcadia Services. Arcadia Services granted Comerica Bank a first priority security
interest in all of its assets. The subsidiaries of Arcadia Services granted the bank security
interests in all of their assets. RKDA is restricted from paying dividends to Arcadia Resources,
Inc. RKDA executed a guaranty to Comerica Bank for all indebtedness of Arcadia Services and its
subsidiaries. Advances under the credit facility bear interest at the prime-based rate (as defined)
or the Eurodollar based rate (as defined), at the election of borrowers. Arcadia Services agreed to
various financial covenant ratios, to have any person who acquires Arcadia Services capital stock
to pledge such stock to Comerica Bank, and to customary negative covenants.
On February 18, 2005, Trinity Healthcare of Winston-Salem, Inc. (Trinity Healthcare), a
wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a separate credit agreement with Comerica Bank which provides
Trinity Healthcare with a revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 million payable upon demand of
Comerica Bank, bearing interest at prime plus 0.50%, effectively 8.75% at December 31, 2006. The
credit agreement provides that advances to Trinity Healthcare will not exceed the lesser of the
revolving credit commitment amount or the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness permitted
under the advance formula amount at any one time. The advance formula base is 80% of the eligible
accounts receivable, subject to Comerica Banks adjustment to account for dilution of accounts
receivable caused by customer credits, returns, setoffs, etc., plus 30% of eligible inventory. If
an event of default occurs, Comerica Bank may, at its option, accelerate the maturity of the debt
and exercise its right to foreclose on the issued and outstanding capital stock of Trinity
Healthcare and on all of the assets of Trinity Healthcare and its subsidiaries. Any such default
and resulting foreclosure would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. There
was $2.5 million outstanding under this agreement at December 31, 2006. Trinity Healthcare repaid
$500,000 in January 2007.
5
On May 31, 2005, the Company purchased the membership interests in Rite at Home, LLC, which had an
outstanding line of credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank. The Company obtained a new line of
credit of up to $750,000, which matures on June 1, 2007. The Company used $436,000 to repay the
assumed line of credit and $300,000 was used to fund the acquisition. The outstanding balance under
this agreement totaled $518,000 bearing interest at prime plus 0.50%, effectively 8.75%, at
December 31, 2006.
On June 29, 2006, the Company executed a promissory note with Jana Master Fund, Ltd. (Jana) for
the principal sum of $15 million, payable in full on December 26, 2007. On November 30, 2006, the
Company amended and restated the promissory note with Jana in order to increase the principal
amount from $15 million to $21 million and extend the maturity date to January 31, 2008. The note
bears simple interest at the annual rate equal to the One Year Libor Rate plus seven and one half
percent (7.5%) from the date of the note, payable quarterly starting December 31, 2006 until the
entire principal balance due has been paid in full. On the first day of each of the 5 months
starting February 1, 2007, the interest rate increases 1.0% up to a maximum of 5.0% until repayment
in full, making the maximum rate on the promissory note one year LIBOR rate plus 12.5%.As of
December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance totaled $21 million. In January 2007, the Company repaid
$4 million to Jana with proceeds from the sale of equity in late December 2006.
The Company has agreed to various covenants with Jana, the most stringent of which includes a
restriction on bonuses to senior executive officers unless the Companys earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the fiscal year ending March 30, 2007 is
greater than $11 million; a restriction on sale/lease back transactions to an aggregate $5 million;
a restriction on new senior or pari passu to the debt under the note, if such debt together with
such existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries would exceed $25 million or new debt junior
to the debt under the note in an aggregate amount which exceeds $25 million, other than to the
extent such junior debt is issued to finance acquisitions in the ordinary course of the Company or
its subsidiaries business, without Janas consent; and a covenant that the Company and its
subsidiaries will use 50% of the net cash proceeds from any sale of equity securities in a public
or private placement capital raise offering to repay the debt under the note. These conditions may
be waived at Janas option.
Our PrairieStone Pharmacy, LLC (PrairieStone) subsidiary is party to an Amended and Restated Line
of Credit with AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation which, as of February 16, 2007, the date we
acquired PrairieStone, had an initial principal balance of $750,000 dollars and is secured by an
all assets security interest in the assets of PrairieStone and Company subsidiaries Wellscripts,
LLC and SSAC, LLC. The Amended and Restated Line of credit is guaranteed by the Company. Advances
under the Amended and Restated Line of Credit will be subject to, among other things, there being a
sufficient level of collateral and PrairieStone achieving certain levels of EBITDA.
The terms of our Credit Agreements with Comerica Bank subject us to the risk of foreclosure on
certain property.
RKDA granted Comerica Bank a first priority security interest in all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Arcadia Services. Arcadia Services and its subsidiaries granted the bank security
interests in all of their assets. The credit agreement provides that the debt will mature on
October 1, 2008. If an event of default occurs, Comerica Bank may, at its option, accelerate the
maturity of the debt and exercise its right to foreclose on the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Arcadia Services and on all of the assets of Arcadia Services and its subsidiaries. Any
such default and resulting foreclosure would have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition.
SSAC, LLC, the sole-shareholder of Trinity Healthcare, granted Comerica Bank a first priority
security interest in all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Trinity Healthcare. Trinity
Healthcare granted the bank a security interest in all of its assets. The master revolving demand
note provides that the debt will mature and is payable upon the demand of Comerica Bank. If an
event of default occurs, Comerica Bank may, at its option, accelerate the maturity of the debt and
exercise its right to foreclose on the issued and outstanding capital stock of and on all of the
assets of Trinity Healthcare. Any such default and resulting foreclosure would have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition.
The Company has completed many acquisitions over the past two years. The licensure and
credentialing process under the new ownership must be satisfied timely in order to bill and collect
for services rendered to beneficiaries of government-based health care programs and other insurance
carriers. Cash flow related to these transitions can be impaired sufficient to require additional
external financing in the form of debt or equity.
The Company has made several recent acquisitions of durable medical and respiratory equipment
businesses, the transitional credentialing of which has taken longer than expected, which has
slowed the billing and collections process, resulting in a negative impact to the timing of cash in
flows from the respective entities. Management has recently brought additional resources to these
efforts and the Companys experience in these matters has ultimately resulted in the ability to
bill and collect for the transitional
6
period in question. In order to subsidize this timing shortfall, the Company is currently seeking
additional debt financing for the Products Division (durable medical and respiratory equipment and
pharmacy entities) that would collateralize the respective accounts receivable and possibly the
related inventories. In the event additional debt financing is not obtained timely, the Company may
not be able to meet some of its current obligations timely.
In order to repay our short term debt obligations, as well as to pursue our strategy of growth
through acquisitions, we intend to seek equity financing, which could result in dilution to our
security holders.
The Company may continue to raise additional financing through the equity markets. Further, because
of our potential capital requirements needed to pursue our business plan of growth through limited
acquisitions, we may access the public or private equity markets whenever conditions appear to us
to be favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. The
Company also plans to expand into walk-in medical clinics, as well as to continue to expand product
and service offerings in its existing sites. Cash flow from operations is not expected to fund
these efforts, and the scope of these plans may be determined by the Companys ability to generate
cash flow or to secure additional new funding. To the extent we access the equity markets, the
price at which we sell shares may be lower than the current market prices for our Common Stock. If
we obtain financing through the sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities, this
could result in dilution to our security holders by increasing the number of shares of outstanding
stock. We cannot predict the effect this dilution may have on the price of our Common Stock.
To be able to implement our business plan as currently projected for the retail clinic operations,
the Company must raise additional funding which could result in dilution to our security holders or
to our holdings in the subsidiaries that hold the clinic operations.
The Company plans to open 22 additional clinics for operation within the next six months in
addition to the 12 clinics currently in operation. This effort is expected to require $160,000 per
site in capital for building, supplying and operating the clinics prior to cash flow breakeven. In
the event sufficient capital is not obtained to carry out this plan, the Company will modify its
schedule of clinic openings accordingly to accommodate its funding ability.
To the extent we do not successfully raise funds from the equity markets to satisfy short term debt
obligations or to finance new acquisitions, we would need to seek debt financing or modify or
abandon our growth strategy or product and service offerings.
To the extent that we do not successfully raise funds from the equity markets to satisfy short term
debt obligations or to finance new acquisitions, we will need to seek debt financing. In this
event, we may need to modify or abandon our strategy to grow through acquisition or may need to
eliminate certain product or service offerings, because debt financing is generally at a higher
cost than financing through equity investment. Higher financing costs, modification or abandonment
of our growth strategy, or the elimination of product or service offerings could negatively impact
our profitability and financial position, which in turn could negatively impact the price of our
Common Stock and your investment in our Company. Given the Companys net proceeds from financing
activities during the year ended March 31, 2006 and the three quarters ended December 31, 2006, the
changes in the Companys operational and financial position that have occurred during this period,
and assuming no material decline in our revenues, management does not presently anticipate that the
Company will be unsuccessful in its efforts to raise funds from the equity markets, although there
is no guarantee that the Company will in fact successfully raise such funds from equity.
Because the Company is dependent on key management and advisors, the loss of the services or advice
of any of these persons could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
The success of the Company is dependent on its ability to attract and retain qualified and
experienced management and personnel. We do not presently maintain key person life insurance for
any of our personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain
key personnel in the future, and the Companys inability to do so could have a material adverse
effect on us. On January 31, 2007, the Company named Lynn Fetterman as Interim Chief Financial
Officer. The Company has not yet determined a permanent replacement for the recently departed Chief
Financial Officer. There is no guarantee that Mr. Fetterman will remain with the Company in the
long-term or that the Company will find a permanent Chief Financial Officer with the appropriate
background and skill set in the short-term.
A decline in the rate of growth of the staffing and home care industries, or negative growth, could
adversely affect us by reducing sales, thereby resulting in less cash being available for the
payment of operating expenses, debt obligations and to pursue our strategic plans.
7
We believe the staffing industry, including both medical and non-medical staffing, is a large and
growing market. The growth in medical staffing is being driven by the shrinkage in the number of
healthcare professionals at the same time as the demand for their services is increasing.
Healthcare providers are increasingly using temporary staffing to manage fluctuations in demand for
their services. Growth in non-medical staffing is driven by companies seeking to control personnel
costs by increasingly using temporary employees to meet fluctuating personnel needs. Our business
strategy is premised on the continued and consistent growth of the staffing and home care
industries. A decline in the rate of growth of the staffing and home care industries, or negative
growth, could adversely affect us by reducing sales, resulting in lower cash collections. Even if
we were to pursue cost reductions in this event, there is a risk that less cash would be available
to us to pay operating expenses, in which case we may have to contract our existing businesses by
abandoning selected product or service offerings or geographic markets served, as well as to modify
or abandon our present business strategy. We could have less cash available to pay our short and
long-term debt obligations as they become due, in which event we could default on our obligations.
Even if none of these events occurred following a negative change in the growth of the staffing and
home care industries, the market for our shares of Common Stock could react negatively to a decline
in growth or negative growth of these industries, potentially resulting in the diminished value of
our Companys Common Stock and your investment in the Company.
Sales of certain of our services and products are largely dependent upon payments from governmental
programs and private insurance, and cost containment initiatives may reduce our revenues, thereby
harming our performance.
We have a number of contractual arrangements with governmental programs and private insurers,
although no individual arrangement accounted for more than 10% of our net revenues for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004. Nevertheless, sales of certain of our services and
products are largely dependent upon payments from governmental programs and private insurance, and
cost containment initiatives may reduce our revenues, thereby harming our performance. Certain of
our competitors may have or may obtain significantly greater financial and marketing resources than
us. In addition, relatively few barriers to entry exist in local healthcare markets. As a result,
we would encounter increased competition in the future that may increase pricing pressure and limit
our ability to maintain or increase our market share for our durable medical equipment, mail order
pharmacy and related businesses.
In the U.S., healthcare providers and consumers who purchase durable medical equipment,
prescription drug products and related products generally rely on third party payers to reimburse
all or part of the cost of the healthcare product. Such third party payers include Medicare,
Medicaid and other health insurance and managed care plans. Reimbursement by third party payers may
depend on a number of factors, including the payers determination that the use of our products is
clinically useful and cost-effective, medically necessary and not experimental or investigational.
Also, third party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and
services. Since reimbursement approval is required from each payer individually, seeking such
approvals can be a time consuming and costly process. In the future, this could require us to
provide supporting scientific, clinical and cost-effectiveness data for the use of our products to
each payer separately. Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly
approved healthcare products. Third party payers are increasingly attempting to contain the costs
of healthcare products and services by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement for
new and existing products and services. There can be no assurance that third party reimbursement
coverage will be available or adequate for any products or services that we develop.
We could be subject to severe fines and possible exclusion from participation in federal and state
healthcare programs if we fail to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our business
or if those laws and regulations change.
Certain of the healthcare-related products and services offered by the Company are subject to
stringent laws and regulations at both the federal and state levels, requiring compliance with
burdensome and complex billing, substantiation and record-keeping requirements. Financial
relationships between our Company and physicians and other referral sources are subject to
governmental regulation. Government officials and the public will continue to debate healthcare
reform and regulation. Changes in healthcare law, new interpretations of existing laws, or changes
in payment methodology may have a material impact on our business and results of operations.
The markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive and the Company may be unable to
compete successfully against competitors with greater resources.
The Company competes in markets that are constantly changing, intensely competitive (given low
barriers to entry), highly fragmented and subject to dynamic economic conditions. Increased
competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins, loss of customers, and
loss of market share, any of which could harm our net revenue and results of operations. Many of
the Companys competitors and potential competitors relative to the Companys products and services
in the areas of durable medical equipment, and oxygen and respiratory services, have more capital,
substantial marketing, and technical resources and expertise in specialized financial services than
does the Company. These competitors include: on-line marketers, national wholesalers, and national
and regional distributors. Further, the Company may face a significant competitive challenge from
alliances entered into
8
between and among its competitors, major HMOs or chain drugstores, as well as from larger
competitors created through industry consolidation. These potential competitors may be able to
respond more quickly than the Company to emerging market changes or changes in customer needs.
We may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses, which could result in our failure
to increase revenues or to avoid duplication of costs among acquired businesses, thereby adversely
affecting our financial results and profitability.
The successful integration of an acquired business is dependent on various factors including the
size of the acquired business, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business, the complexity
of system conversions, the scheduling of multiple acquisitions in a given geographic area and
managements execution of the integration plan. Our business plan is premised on increasing our
revenues by leveraging the strengths of our staffing and home care network to cross sell our other
products and services. Our business plan is also premised on avoiding duplication of cost among our
existing and acquired businesses where possible. If we fail to successfully integrate in these key
areas, our Companys financial results and profitability will be adversely affected, due to the
failure to capitalize on the economies of scale presented by spreading our cost structure over a
wider revenue base.
The failure to implement the Companys business strategy may result in our inability to be
profitable and adversely impact your investment in our Company.
We anticipate that the Company will continue to pursue an aggressive internal growth strategy,
which will depend, in large part, upon our ability to develop and expand the Companys businesses.
We anticipate considering growth by acquisition of existing businesses, depending on the Companys
ability to raise sufficient capital or debt financing to complete any acquisitions. Acquisitions
involve a number of risks, including the diversion of managements attention, issues related to the
assimilation of the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses, and potential adverse
effects on operating results, unforeseen liabilities and increased administrative expenses. We
believe that the failure to implement an aggressive growth strategy, as well as a failure to
successfully integrate acquired businesses, may result in our inability to be profitable, because
our business plan is premised on, among other things, capitalizing on the economies of scale
presented by spreading our cost structure over a wider revenue base. Our inability to achieve
profitability could adversely impact your investment in our Company.
We cannot predict the impact that the registration of the shares may have on the price of the
Companys shares of Common Stock and the value of your investment in our Company.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that sales of, or the availability for sale of, shares of our
Common Stock by the selling security holders pursuant to this or any other prospectus or otherwise
will have on the market price of our securities prevailing from time to time. The possibility that
substantial amounts of our Common Stock might enter the public market could adversely affect the
prevailing market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability fund acquisitions or to
raise capital in the future through the sales of securities. Sales of substantial amounts of our
securities, including shares issued upon the exercise of options or warrants, or the perception
that such sales could occur, could adversely effect prevailing market prices for our securities.
Ownership of our stock is concentrated in a small group of security holders who may exercise
substantial control over our actions to the detriment of our other security holders.
There are five shareholders of the Company, after elimination of duplication due to attribution
resulting from application of the beneficial ownership provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, including John E. Elliott II and Lawrence R. Kuhnert, who are beneficial owners
of 5% or more of the Companys shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2006. These
shareholders collectively own 63% of our shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31,
2006. This concentrated ownership of our Common Stock gives a few security holders the ability to
control our Company and the direction of our business as to matters requiring shareholder approval,
such as mergers, certain acquisitions, asset sales and other significant corporation transactions.
This concentrated ownership may prevent other shareholders from influencing the election of
directors and other significant corporate decisions, to the extent that these five shareholders
vote their shares of Common Stock together.
The price of our Common Stock has been, and will likely continue to be, volatile, which could
diminish your ability to recoup your investment, or to earn a return on your investment, in our
Company.
The market price of our Common Stock, like that of the securities of many other companies with
limited operating history and public float, has fluctuated over a wide range and it is likely that
the price of our Common Stock will fluctuate in the future. From August 2, 2002 through the period
ended December 31, 2006, the closing price of our Common Stock, as quoted by the OTC Bulletin
Board, has
9
fluctuated from a low of $0.10 during the six months ended March 31, 2003 to a high of $4.20 during
the nine months transitional period ended September 30, 2002. During the year ended March 31, 2005,
which period includes the May 10, 2004 effective date of the RKDA Merger, the closing price of our
Common Stock, as quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board, has fluctuated from a low of $0.39 to a high of
$2.00. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the closing price of our Common Stock, as quoted by
the OTC Bulletin Board, has fluctuated from a low of $1.74 to a high
of $3.53. On March 20,
2007, the average of the high and low sales prices of our Common
Stock was $2.16 per share as
reported on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). The Companys Common Stock commenced trading on the
AMEX on July 3, 2006. Slow demand for our Common Stock has resulted in limited liquidity, and you
may find it difficult to dispose of the Companys securities. Due to the volatility of the price
our Common Stock, you may be unable to resell your shares of our Common Stock at or above the price
you paid for them, thereby exposing you to the risk that you may not recoup your investment in our
Company or earn a return on your investment. In the past, securities class action litigation has
been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their
securities. If we are the target of similar litigation in the future, our Company would be exposed
to incurring significant litigation costs. This would also divert managements attention and
resources, all of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
Your resale of any securities you acquire may be limited and affected by state blue-sky laws, which
could adversely affect the price of our securities and your investment in our Company.
Under the securities laws of some states, shares of common stock and warrants can be sold in such
states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states,
warrants and shares of common stock may not be sold unless these shares have been registered or
qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and
is complied with. The requirement of a seller to comply with the requirements of state blue sky
laws may lead to delay or inability of a holder of our securities to dispose of such securities,
thereby causing an adverse effect on the resale price of our securities and your investment in our
Company.
The issuance of our preferred stock could materially impact the price of Common Stock and the
rights of holders of our Common Stock.
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock, par value $0.001.
Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be
determined by the Companys Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in the Companys
Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has authority to fix by resolution adopted before
the issuance of any shares of each particular series of preferred stock, the designation, powers,
preferences, and relative participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications,
limitations, and restrictions. The issuance of our preferred stock could materially impact the
price of Common Stock and the rights of holders of our Common Stock, including voting rights. The
issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for
distribution to holders of Common Stock, and may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of our Company, despite such change of control being in the best
interest of the holders of our shares of Common Stock. The existence of authorized but unissued
preferred stock may enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an
attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
The exercise of common stock warrants may depress our stock price and may result in dilution to our
Common Security holders.
As of December 31, 2006, a total of approximately 24.6 million warrants to purchase approximately
24.6 million shares of our Common Stock are issued and outstanding. Subsequent to December 31,
2006, an additional approximately 5 million warrants to purchase approximately 5 million shares of
Common Stock were exercised. The market price of our Common Stock is above the exercise price of
some of the outstanding warrants; therefore, holders of those securities are likely to exercise
their warrants and sell the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such warrants in the open
market. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market by holders
of warrants may depress the prevailing market price for our Common Stock and could impair our
ability to raise capital through the future sale of our equity securities. Additionally, if the
holders of outstanding warrants exercise those warrants, our common security holders will incur
dilution. The exercise price of all common stock warrants, including Classes A, B-1 and B-2
Warrants, is subject to adjustment upon stock dividends, splits and combinations, as well as
certain anti-dilution adjustments as set forth in the respective common stock warrants.
10
We have granted stock options to certain management employees and directors as compensation which
may depress our stock price and result in dilution to our common security holders.
As of December 31, 2006, options to purchase approximately 9.5 million shares of our Common Stock
were issued and outstanding. On August 18, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the Arcadia
Resources, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was subsequently approved by the
security holders on September 26, 2006. The Plan allows for the granting of additional incentive
stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted shares up to 5
million shares (2.5% of the Companys authorized shares of common stock as of the date the Plan was
approved). The market price of our Common Stock is above the exercise price of some of the
outstanding options; therefore, holders of those securities are likely to exercise their options
and sell the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such options in the open market. Sales of a
substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market by holders of options may
depress the prevailing market price for our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise
capital through the future sale of our equity securities. Additionally, if the holders of
outstanding options exercise those options, our common security holders will incur dilution. The
exercise price of all common stock options is subject to adjustment upon stock dividends, splits
and combinations, as well as anti-dilution adjustments as set forth in the option agreement. On
February 21, 2007, Larry Kuhnert, former President and Chief Operating Officer, and the Company
agreed that his employment would end effective February 28, 2007. In accordance with the terms of
the separation agreement, 1 million options held by Mr. Kuhnert were forfeited. The remaining 3
million options held by Mr. Kuhnert will be exercisable on a cash or cashless basis from September
1, 2007 through February 29, 2008.
We are dependent on our affiliated agencies and our internal sales force to sell our services and
products, the loss of which could adversely affect our business.
We largely rely upon our affiliated agencies to sell our staffing and home care services and on our
internal sales force to sell our durable medical equipment and pharmacy products. Arcadia Services
affiliated agencies are owner-operated businesses. The office locations maintained by our
affiliated agencies are listed on our Companys website. The primary responsibilities of Arcadia
Services affiliated agencies include the recruitment and training of field staff employed by
Arcadia Services and generating and maintaining sales to Arcadia Services customers. The
arrangements with affiliated agencies are formalized through a standard contractual agreement,
which state performance requirements of the affiliated agencies. Our affiliated agencies and
internal sales force operate in particular defined geographic regions. Our employees provide the
services to our customers and the affiliated agents and internal sales force are restricted by
non-competition agreements. In the event of loss of our affiliated agents or internal sales force
personnel, we would recruit new sales and marketing personnel and/or affiliated agents which could
cause our operating costs to increase and our sales to fall in the interim.
Our ability to recruit and retain a majority of independent directors may affect our ability to be
listed on a national securities exchange or quotation system.
Our limited operating history as a public company may make it difficult to attract and retain
qualified directors who satisfy the independence standards as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 and listing standards. On June 22, 2006, the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) approved the
Companys application for listing its common shares on the AMEX, and trading commenced on the AMEX
on Monday, July 3, 2006. We are subject to the AMEX listing standards, which include a requirement
that the Board of Directors consist of a majority of directors who are independent as defined by
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and as defined by listing standards, and that the audit committee of
the Board of Directors must consist of at least three members, all of whom are independent.
Similarly, the compensation and nominating committees of the Board of Directors must consist of
independent directors.
On February 13, 2007, the Company received a letter from AMEX stating that, due to a resignation of
one of the Companys independent directors, the Company did not comply with the listing standards
referenced above. On February 28, 2007, the Company cured this deficiency by appointing Joseph
Mauriello as an independent director and member of the Audit Committee, effective March 1, 2007, to
fill the unexpired term of the vacant independent director position until the Companys 2007 annual
meeting. Our Board presently consists of five director positions, and three directors have been
determined by the Board to be independent as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and AMEX
listing standards. The three independent directors also comprise the Companys Audit Committee. At
the Companys annual meeting held in September 2006, one of our independent directors was elected
to a term of three years and one of our independent directors was elected to a term of one year.
Future vacancies among the independent directors could again result in the Companys noncompliance
with AMEX listing standards.
Several anti-takeover measures under Nevada law could delay or prevent a change of our control,
despite such change of control being in the best interest of the holders of our shares of Common
Stock.
11
Several anti-takeover measures under Nevada law, which are described below, could delay or prevent
a change of our control, despite such change of control being in the best interest of the holders
of our shares of Common Stock. This could make it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain
control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. This could negatively
impact the value of your investment in our Company, by discouraging a potential suitor who may
otherwise be willing to offer a premium for your shares of the Companys common stock.
12
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling
security holders. The selling security holders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions
and expenses incurred by the selling security holders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal
services or any other expenses incurred by the selling security holders in connection with sales by
them. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the
shares covered by this prospectus, including, but not limited to, all registration and filing fees
and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share,
and 5,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock, par value $0.001.
Voting. Except as otherwise required by law or our certificate of incorporation, including any
certificate of designations for a series of preferred stock, each holder of Common Stock shall have
one vote in respect of each share of stock held by him or her of record on the books of the
corporation for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of our security
holders. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the
stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall be the act of the
security holders and shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless according to the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws a greater vote is required.
Dividends. Subject to the preferential rights of the preferred stock, the holders of shares of
Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and if declared by the board of directors, out of
our assets which are by law available for dividends, dividends payable in cash, property or shares
of capital stock.
Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding Up. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of our affairs, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed
to the holders of shares of the preferred stock, holders of Common Stock shall be entitled, unless
otherwise provided by law or our certificate of incorporation, including any certificate of
designations for a series of preferred stock, to receive all of our remaining assets of whatever
kind available for distribution to security holders ratably in proportion to the number of shares
of Common Stock held by them respectively.
Other Rights and Restrictions. The outstanding shares of our Common Stock are validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable. Holders of our Common Stock do not have preemptive rights (except as
described below), and they have no right to convert their Common Stock into any other securities.
Our Common Stock is not subject to redemption by us. The rights, preferences and privileges of
common security holders are subject to the rights of the security holders of any series of
preferred stock that are issued and outstanding or that we may issue in the future. Upon surrender
to us or our transfer agent of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper
evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be our duty to issue a new
certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction
upon our books. Our board of directors is authorized to set apart out of any of the funds of the
corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose. We are subject to
Sections 78.411 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes regarding business combinations with
interested security holders.
Preemptive Rights. On May 4, 2004, the Companys security holders voted to amend the Articles of
Incorporation to make it clear that the Companys security holders do not have any preemptive
rights arising pursuant to Sections 78.265 and 78.267 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Preemptive
rights are the rights of existing security holders, subject to various exemptions, to subscribe for
new shares of capital stock to be issued by a company increasing its issued shares, in preference
to persons who are not security holders. In connection with the merger acquisition of RKDA, Inc.
effective May 10, 2004, John E. Elliott, II and Lawrence R. Kuhnert were granted preemptive rights
for a period of three years beginning May 7, 2004 to acquire, at fair market value, additional
shares of Common Stock of the Company to maintain their percentage ownership of the Company, except
they were not granted preemptive rights relative to Common Stock issuable on the exercise of stock
options and warrants issued before May 7, 2004 or Common Stock and Class A Warrants issued in the
Companys private placement offering which closed on May 27, 2004.
Preferred Stock. The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock, par
value $0.001. Shares of the Companys serial preferred stock are not being registered herein.
Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be
determined by the Companys Board of Directors. Each series shall be distinctly designated. All
shares of any one series of the preferred stock shall be alike in every particular, except that
there may be different dates from which dividends thereon, if any, shall be cumulative, if made
cumulative. The powers, preferences, participating, optional and other rights of each such series
and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any
and all other series at any time
13
outstanding. Except as otherwise provided in the Companys Articles of Incorporation, the Board of
Directors has authority to fix by resolution or resolutions adopted prior to the issuance of any
shares of each particular series of preferred stock, the designation, powers, preferences, and
relative participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations, and
restrictions thereof, if any, of such series.

Options
and 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. We have issued and outstanding,
as of March 22, 2007,
options to purchase approximately 8.5 million shares of our Common Stock, all of which have been
issued to directors and employees of the Company and are exercisable at specified prices, subject
to specified vesting periods and expiration dates. On August 18, 2006, the Board of Directors
approved the Arcadia Resources, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was
subsequently approved by the security holders on September 26, 2006. The Plan allows for the
granting of additional incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation
rights and restricted shares up to 5 million shares (2.5% of the Companys authorized shares of
common stock as of the date the Plan was approved).
Transfer Agent and Registrar. The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is National
City Bank.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Nevada Law and Our Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws
The following discussion concerns certain provisions of Nevada law, our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws that could be viewed as having the
effect of discouraging or delaying an attempt to obtain control of our Company.
Nevada Law
Sections 78.378 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes govern the acquisition of a controlling
interest. This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires twenty (20%) percent
or more of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada issuing corporation obtains voting rights in
the acquired shares as conferred by a resolution of the security holders of the corporation,
approved at a special or annual meeting of the security holders. The articles of incorporation or
bylaws of a corporation, however, may provide that these provisions do not apply to the corporation
or to an acquisition of a controlling interest. On May 4, 2004, our Board of Directors adopted an
amendment to our Bylaws providing that the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 78.378 et
seq. do not apply to an acquisition of a controlling interest of shares owned, directly or
indirectly, whether of record or not, now or at any time in the future, by John E. Elliott, II,
Lawrence R. Kuhnert or any of the persons referenced therein. All other persons or entities,
however, remain subject to Sections 78.378 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes to the extent
applicable, unless our articles of incorporation or bylaws are amended to exempt such persons or
entities from these statutory anti-takeover provisions.
14
Sections 78.411 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes govern combinations with interested security
holders. These provisions may have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a
change in control of the Company. These provisions preclude an interested security holder (i.e.,
the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding
voting shares of a corporation, or an affiliate or association thereof) and a resident, domestic
Nevada corporation from entering into a combination (e.g., a merger, sale, lease, exchange, etc.)
unless certain conditions are met. The provisions generally preclude a resident, domestic
corporation from engaging in any combination with an interested security holder for three years
after the date that the person first became an interested security holder unless the combination or
the transaction by which the person first became an interested security holder is approved by the
board of directors before the person first became an interested security holder. If approval is not
obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period the business combination may be
consummated with the approval of the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by
the disinterested security holders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested security
holder exceeds certain thresholds set forth in the statute. We are subject to Sections 78.411 et
seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
In addition, Sections 92A.300 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes create a right of appraisal
for dissenting stockholders. These sections allow stockholders to dissent from certain corporate
actions (e.g., certain conversions, mergers, and exchanges), and obtain payment for the fair value
of their shares. This right of appraisal could discourage an attempt to take control of our Company
by means of any of those corporate actions entitling the stockholders to appraisal rights.
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
Preferred Stock. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that we may from time
to time issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series, the terms of which will be
determined by our board of directors. We will not solicit approval of our security holders unless
our board of directors believes that approval is advisable or is required by the rules of the
American Stock Exchange or by Nevada law. This could enable our board of directors to issue shares
to persons friendly to current management which would protect the continuity of our management and
render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a
merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. These additional shares also could be used to
dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of our Company.
Board of Directors. Our directors, other than those who may be the holders of any class or series
of our preferred stock having the right under a preferred stock designation to elect additional
directors under specified circumstances, are classified into three classes, as nearly equal in
number as possible, with staggered three-year terms: Class A, whose term will expire at our annual
meeting of security holders in 2009, Class B, whose term will expire at our annual meeting of
security holders in 2008, and Class C, whose term will expire at our annual meeting of security
holders in 2007. Each of our directors is to hold the office until his or her successor is duly
elected and qualified. Directors elected to succeed directors whose terms then expire are elected
for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of security holders after
their election. Each director holds office until his successor is duly elected and qualified.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that, except as otherwise provided in any preferred stock
designation relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock to
elect directors under specified circumstances, newly created directorships resulting from any
increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on our board of directors resulting from
death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause will be filled by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the stockholders at any regular or special meeting, or at any adjourned meeting,
or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors. Any director so elected will
hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new
directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until the directors successor has been duly
elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors constituting our board of directors
will shorten the term of any incumbent director. Subject to the rights of any class or series of
preferred stock having the right under a preferred stock designation to elect directors under
specified circumstances, any director may be removed from office only for cause by the affirmative
vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding
stock entitled to vote.
15
These provisions would preclude a third party from removing incumbent directors without cause and
simultaneously gaining control of our board of directors by filling the vacancies created by
removal with its own nominees. Under the classified board of directors provisions described above,
absent director removals for cause, it would take at least two elections of directors for any
individual or group to gain control of our board of directors. Accordingly, these provisions would
discourage a third party from initiating a proxy contest, making a tender offer or otherwise
attempting to gain control of our Company.
Amendments. Under Section 78.390 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least a majority of the voting power is required to amend provisions of our
certificate of incorporation relating to security holder action; the number, election and tenure of
directors; the nomination of director candidates and the proposal of business by security holders;
the filling of vacancies on our board of directors; and the removal of directors. Our amended and
restated bylaws further provide that provisions of our amended and restated bylaws may be amended
only by the affirmative vote of the whole board of directors or by the affirmative vote, or a
consent in writing, of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding capital
stock.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Under Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have broad powers to indemnify our
directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that no
director or officer of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or any of its security
holders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or
omission of any such director or officer provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for acts or omissions which involve
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in
violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. The articles further provide that any
repeal or modification of the articles shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect
any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of the Company for acts or
omissions prior to such repeal or modification. These provisions do not eliminate the directors
duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other
forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Nevada law. In addition, each director
will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the directors duty of loyalty to us for
acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of
law, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, and for
payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Nevada
law. The provision also does not affect a directors responsibilities under any other laws, such as
the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
We maintain a policy of directors and officers liability insurance that insures our directors and
officers against the costs of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under some
circumstances.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers or persons controlling our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
DILUTION
Since we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock sold by the selling
security holders under this prospectus, the net tangible book value of our common stock will not be
increased or decreased as a result of such sales nor will the number of shares outstanding be
affected by such sales.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
Except as may otherwise be noted below in the table of selling security holders, the selling
security holders identified in this prospectus acquired shares of common stock in private placement
transactions exempt from registration on the basis of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933
and Rule 506 of Regulation D as applicable.
On February 16, 2007, the Company closed on and completed its acquisition of PrairieStone Pharmacy,
LLC (PrairieStone) pursuant to a Limited Liability Company Ownership Interest Purchase Agreement
(the LLC Agreement), attached as Exhibit 10.1. Under the LLC Agreement, the Company issued to
the selling security holders an aggregate of 9,926,337 shares of common stock at closing,
consisting of 8,000,000 shares of common stock issued as consideration for 100% of the membership
units of PrairieStone, and 1,926,337 shares of common stock issued to pay off a $3,750,000 term
loan obligation of PrairieStone. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, up to an additional 10,073,663
shares of common stock are payable to selling security holders, contingent on the attainment of
defined goals based on the Companys share price and PrairieStones financial performance during
the two years following the closing date, as more fully described in the Price Adjustment
Consideration, Anniversary Date Consideration, and Earn-
16
Out Consideration provisions of the LLC Agreement. The selling security holders agreed that during
the two (2) year period following the closing, they will not, individually or in the aggregate,
publicly sell or otherwise privately sell, give, transfer, exchange, dividend or distribute in any
one day more than the Sellers Total Daily Limit of the Company shares. The Sellers Total Daily
Limit is defined to mean the greater of twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares or during the first
year following Closing twenty percent (20%) of the average daily trading volume of the Company
common stock during the five trading days preceding the day of sale and during the second year
thirty percent (30%) of such average daily trading volume. The Sellers Total Daily Limit does not
apply to an aggregate of 1,094,527 shares of common stock which may be sold by Messrs. Richardson
and Brady (Executive Sellers) to satisfy their respective tax obligations resulting from the sale
of their respective membership units of PrairieStone Pharmacy, LLC to the Company. Of the
3,000,000 shares of common stock paid to the Executive Sellers at closing, 195,600 shares (which
number of shares is subject to adjustment as described below) will be held by the Company subject
to a Holdback Account. The shares to be held by the Company subject to the Holdback Account are
referred to as the Holdback Shares. The Holdback Shares will be held by the Company for the
purpose of satisfying any indemnity claim by the Company against the Executive Sellers and are
additionally subject to release or forfeiture based on PrairieStones financial performance during
the three years following the closing date, as described in the LLC Agreement, in our Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on February 1, 2007 (the Prior 8-K), and in our other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The number of Holdback Shares is subject to adjustment on a
quarterly basis per a formula as described in the LLC Agreement, in the Prior 8-K and in our other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preceding table lists certain information, to our knowledge, with respect to the selling
security holders as of March 21, 2007 as follows: (i) each selling security holders name, (ii) the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling security holders
prior to this offering, assuming the maximum number of additional shares which may be issued under
the LLC Agreement are issued (including all of the shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants held
by such shareholder and Common Stock purchase options, if any); (iii) the number of shares of
Common Stock to be beneficially owned by each selling security holder after the completion of this
offering, assuming the sale of all of the shares of the Common Stock offered by each selling
security holder; and (iv) if one percent or more, the percentage of outstanding shares of Common
Stock to be beneficially owned by each selling security holder after the completion of this
offering assuming the conversion and sale of all of the shares of the Common Stock offered by each
selling security holder. Except as noted, none of the selling security holders have had any
position, office, or other material relationship with the Company or any of the Companys
Predecessors or affiliates within the past three years. The selling security holders may sell all,
some, or none of their shares in this offering. See Plan of Distribution, below. For this reason,
the amount or percentage of these shares of Common Stock that will be held by the selling security
holders following the offering is unknown, except that for purposes of the tables set forth above,
we assume that each selling security holder will sell all shares of Common Stock offered by each
selling security holder, except as indicated otherwise.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes
voting or investment power with respect to shares, as well as any shares as to which the selling
security holder has the right to acquire beneficial ownership through the exercise or conversion of
any stock option, warrant, preferred stock or other right within 60 days of March 21, 2007.
Percentages are based on 108,806,000 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 21, 2007.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the table listed above does not identify a selling security holder
as the beneficial owner of shares held by another selling security holder listed in the table.
Unless otherwise indicated above, to our knowledge, all selling security holders named in the table
have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of Common Stock, except to the
extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law and except to the extent that such
voting power held by the selling security holders is subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement.
The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership
for the selling security holder named above.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock on behalf of the selling security holders
identified in this prospectus. The selling security holders will act independently of us in making
decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each sale of the Common Stock covered by
this prospectus. Sales of shares may be made from time to time by selling security holders,
including their respective donees, transferees, pledges or other successors-in-interest directly to
purchasers or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or through agents. The Company has
registered these securities pursuant to its obligations under registration rights agreements. The
Company agreed to such registration rights to improve the liquidity of the securities being sold.
The distribution of shares of Common Stock by the selling security holders is not subject to any
underwriting agreement. The selling security holders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion
of the shares of Common Stock on any market upon which the Common Stock may be quoted, in privately
negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that may be changed, at varying prices
determined at the time of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related
to such market prices or at negotiated prices. The selling security holders are not obligated to
sell any of their shares of our Common Stock.
The shares of our Common Stock may be sold by the selling shareholders by one or more of the
following methods, without limitation except as provided otherwise by the terms of the LLC
Agreement:
18
|
o |
|
A block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as
agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction (including crosses in which the same broker acts as agent for both sides of the
transaction); |
|
|
o |
|
Purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; |
|
|
o |
|
Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
|
|
o |
|
Through options, swaps or derivatives; |
|
|
o |
|
Privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
o |
|
In making short sales or in transactions to cover short sales; |
|
|
o |
|
In transactions on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which our
common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
|
|
o |
|
Put or call option transactions relating to the securities; |
|
|
o |
|
Through other types of transactions; and |
|
|
o |
|
A combination of any of the above-listed methods of sale. |
In addition to distribution as outlined above, the holders of our Common Stock may sell the shares
of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or any other available exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Upon being notified by a selling security holder at the time a particular offering of securities is
made, a prospectus supplement, if required pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, will be filed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being
offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers,
brokers or agents, if any, and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be
paid to brokers or dealers. To our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or
understandings with respect to the sale of any of the securities offered hereby.
The selling security holders may effect these transactions by selling directly to purchasers or to
or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. These broker-dealers may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders
and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell
as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions).
Subject to certain provisions of the LLC Agreement, the selling security holders may enter into
hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with those
transactions, the broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the
shares or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for the shares in the course of hedging
positions they assume with the selling security holders. The selling security holders may also
enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which
require the delivery of shares offered by this prospectus to those broker-dealers or other
financial institutions. The broker-dealer or other financial institution may then resell the shares
pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if required by applicable law, to reflect
those transactions).
Any of the selling security holders and any other broker-dealers that act in connection with the
sale of shares of Common Stock offered under this prospectus may be underwriters within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any commissions received by
these broker-dealers or any profit on the resale of the shares of Common Stock sold by them while
acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We have agreed to indemnify certain selling security holders,
and certain selling security holders have agreed (severally and not jointly) to indemnify us,
against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares of Common Stock,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The selling security holders
may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions
involving sales of the shares of Common Stock by the selling security holders against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
19
The selling security holders are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. We are paying all expenses and fees customarily paid by the issuer in
connection with the registration of the shares. The selling security holders will bear all
brokerage or underwriting discounts or commissions paid to broker-dealers in connection with the
sale of their shares.
Each selling security holder and any other person participating in a distribution of the shares of
Common Stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Regulation M which may limit the
timing of purchases and sales of shares of Common Stock by the selling security holder and any
other person participating in the distribution. Furthermore, Regulation M under the Exchange Act
may restrict the ability of any person engaged in a distribution of the shares of Common Stock to
engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock being distributed for
a period of up to five business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. All of the
foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person
or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the Common Stock will be passed upon by Fennemore Craig, P.C.

Item 15. Disclosure of Commission Position of Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities.
The General Corporate Law of Nevada empowers a company incorporated in Nevada, such as Critical
Home Care, Inc., to indemnify its directors and officers under certain circumstances. The Articles
of Incorporation of the Company provide that no director or officer of the Company shall be
personally liable to the Company or any of its security holders for damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of any such director or officer
provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director or officer for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised
Statutes. The Articles further provide that any repeal or modification of the Articles shall be
prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a
director or officer of the Company for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company under Nevada law or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
Item 16. Exhibits
The Exhibits listed in the Exhibit Index are filed herewith and made a part hereof.
Item 17. Undertakings
(a) |
|
The undersigned registrants hereby undertake: |
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which
was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in Calculation of Registration Fee table in the
effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
Provided, however, That paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
II-1
(2) |
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
(3) |
|
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
|
(4) |
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser: |
|
i. |
|
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (230.430B of this chapter): |
|
A. |
|
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be
deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was
deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
|
|
B. |
|
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or
(b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an
offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing
the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed
to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date
such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first
contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided
in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date
an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the
registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to
which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no
statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to
such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the
registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or
made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or |
|
ii. |
|
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than
registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance
on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as
of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement
made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as
to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or
modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was
part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
date of first use. |
(5) |
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of
1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant
pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell
the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by
means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to
the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
i. |
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to
the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
|
|
ii. |
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
|
|
iii. |
|
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
|
|
iv. |
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser. |
II-2
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
