PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights some information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” before deciding to invest in our Common Stock.

Our Company 

We are a national provider of staffing (medical and non-medical) and home care services (skilled and personal care/support) currently operating in 21 states through 56 affiliated and 13 company-owned offices.  These businesses are conducted by our Arcadia Services, Inc. subsidiary.  We acquired Arcadia Services on May 10, 2004 through a reverse merger with RKDA, Inc., whereby RKDA is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.  We operate a mail order pharmacy business which we acquired through the RKDA reverse merger.  We have durable medical equipment businesses providing oxygen and other respiratory therapy services and home medical equipment.  In addition, we sell surgical supplies and orthotic and prosthetic products, principally through three retail outlets in the New York metropolitan area.  

Before the RKDA reverse merger, the business of our Company (i.e., the “Old Critical”) was limited to selling and renting durable medical equipment, surgical supplies, orthotic and prosthetic products, oxygen and other respiratory therapy services and equipment, principally through four retail outlets in the New York City metropolitan area.  We had annual sales of approximately $4 million and continuing losses, cash flow problems and going concern issues.

RKDA Merger

We acquired Arcadia Services and our mail order pharmacy business (“Arcadia Rx”) on May 10, 2004 through a reverse merger financed, in part, by private investment in public equity (i.e., the Company's Common Stock) a transaction commonly called a “PIPE.”  Before these acquisitions, Arcadia and Arcadia Rx were privately owned businesses.  Arcadia reported sales of approximately $78 million and approximately $76 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  Arcadia Rx is a full service mail order pharmacy based in Paducah, Kentucky with annual revenues of approximately $2.5 million.  As RKDA had no operations prior to its acquisition of Arcadia and Arcadia Rx, the historical financial statements are those of the predecessor company Arcadia. The financial statements of the prior public company (i.e., Critical Home Care, Inc. before the RKDA reverse merger—the “Old Critical”) are not included with this prospectus because Arcadia’s financial statements are now the historical financial statements of the Company.

Under the RKDA merger, our wholly owned subsidiary CHC Sub, Inc. merged with and into RKDA, Inc., a Michigan corporation owned by John E. Elliott, II and Lawrence R. Kuhnert.  The RKDA merger was effective May 10, 2004. RKDA survived the merger.

RKDA purchased all of Arcadia’s capital stock on May 7, 2004 from a privately owned company. The purchase price was $16.8 million, payable as follows: $16.1 million in cash, a $500,000 promissory note payable one year after closing, and $200,000 accrued in accounts payable. In addition, RKDA paid $557,109 of bonuses to certain Arcadia employees. RKDA paid the purchase price and bonus payments with a $5 million loan from the Company, a revolving bank loan initially for $11 million, a $100,000 cash deposit, the delivery of an unsecured, subordinated $500,000 promissory note to the seller, and $200,000 accrued in accounts payable.

The Company raised the $5 million it loaned RKDA as part of a Regulation D (Rule 506) Private Placement Offering—i.e., the PIPE. The Regulation D Private Placement Offering is described elsewhere in this prospectus.

Pursuant to the RKDA Merger, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert transferred to RKDA their membership interests in SSAC, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, doing business as “Arcadia Rx.” They additionally transferred all of their RKDA capital stock to the Company.

Immediately prior to the RKDA Merger and as reflected on the financial statements of the Old Critical, David Bensol, then the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, transferred to the Company 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by him, which was a condition to RKDA’s obligation to close on the merger.  These shares of Common Stock were then cancelled.  In connection with the merger and as an inducement to RKDA to close on the merger, Mr. Bensol settled three claims assertable against the Company.  See Our Business for further detail.

Table of Contents

On May 10, 2004, the Company issued Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert 21,300,000 shares of its Common Stock and 1,000,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share within seven years. As a result, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert were deemed to be the beneficial owners of 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of May 10, 2004, there were 76,393,351 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding. The 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock of which Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert were deemed to be the beneficial owners represented 29.19% of 77,393,351 shares of our Common Stock (i.e., 76,393,351 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 10, 2004 and 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants).

As of December 17, 2004, 80,593,760 shares of Common Stock are outstanding. The 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock of which Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert are deemed to be the beneficial owners represent 27.67% of 81,593,760 shares of our Common Stock (i.e., 80,593,760 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 17, 2004 and 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants).

As of March 31, 2004, Arcadia Services, Inc. had no cash or cash equivalents because it loaned all cash and cash on hand to its sole stockholder, Addus HealthCare, Inc., to fund the stockholder’s operations.  There was no formal written agreement between Arcadia and Addus HealthCare, Inc., a privately held company, relative to this loan.  As of May 7, 2004, when RKDA acquired Arcadia Services, no loan amounts were due to Aracadia Services from Addus HealthCare.  Since being acquired by RKDA, Aracadia Services has not loaned any funds to Addus HealthCare, nor have any loans been outstanding. 

Company Following RKDA Merger

The RKDA reverse merger changed our Company, its business and its financial position in various ways, including the following:

  • Shareholding Positions.  As a result of the RKDA merger, the Old Critical shareholders were diluted to a 28.9% Common Stock shareholding position.   RKDA’s two former shareholders, John E. Elliott, II and Lawrence R. Kuhnert, acquired a 27.9% Common Stock shareholding position.  Our shareholders from the Regulation D Private Placement Offering acquired a 43.2% shareholding position in the Company. 

  • Board of Directors.  Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert acquired control of the Board of Directors by entering into a voting agreement with certain other shareholders which permits them to elect a majority of the Board of Directors.  The voting agreement gives Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert control of the votes of  48,828,641 shares of Common Stock (60.6% of the Company’s 80,593,760 issued and outstanding shares Common Stock as of December 17, 2004) for the election of the Board of Directors.  The voting agreement assures Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert control of the Company’s Board of Directors until they either (a) own less than 10% of the Company, (b) are no longer executive officers of the Company or (c) the maximum period allowed by law for the agreement to exist.  The Company believes that the criteria above will not be met (and thus Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert will control the Board of Directors) for the foreseeable future.  Of our five member Board of Directors, three directors (two of whom are Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert) joined the Board since the RKDA merger.  One of five Board positions is vacant, due to the resignation of a director in September, 2004. 

  • Management.  Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert became the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and the Vice Chairman of Finance (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) and President, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer, respectively, thereby acquiring control over the Company’s management.  Due to their control of the Board of Directors, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert are likely to maintain their management positions for the foreseeable future while the voting agreement remains in effect. 

  • Our Businesses.  Our Company’s management has focused our business on staffing and home care which we presently provide in 21 states and on leveraging the strength of our affiliate network to promote the sale of services and products by our businesses in the areas of durable medical equipment/supplies, oxygen/respiratory therapy services and mail order pharmacy.  Before the RKDA merger, our business was limited in scope to products such as durable medical equipment, surgical supplies, orthotic and prosthetic products, and oxygen and other respiratory therapy services.  Our business was geographically limited to the metropolitan New York City area, with our services and products being sold through four retail outlets.  

  • Business Strategy.  Our business strategy centers on the integration of our acquired businesses, the reduction of operating costs, growth through external acquisition, and internal growth through leveraging the strengths of our affiliate network.  We intend to move beyond the retail outlet strategy and the limited service/product offerings we pursued in the metropolitan New York City area before the RKDA merger.

Table of Contents

  • Financial Position.  Our Company’s financial position has changed as a result of the RKDA merger and subsequent acquisitions.  Before the RKDA merger, we faced going concern issues.  As a result of the RKDA merger and subsequent acquisitions, our Company’s assets and net sales increased substantially.  However, our liabilities increased substantially as well, principally because we incurred substantial debt to finance the RKDA reverse acquisition and subsequent acquisitions.  Consequently, we will require adequate cash flow to repay our debt obligations as they become due, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes, such as investment in our businesses or distributions to our shareholders.

  • New Identity.  We changed our name from “Critical Home Care, Inc.” to “Arcadia Resources, Inc.” on November 16, 2004 to better reflect our identify and businesses as a result of the RKDA merger and subsequent acquisitions.

Our Business Strategy Following RKDA Merger and Recent Acquisitions

As described above, our current business strategy is to focus on the following initiatives:

  • The integration of our acquired businesses, and growth through additional acquisitions

  • For our staffing and home care services businesses, our strategy is to obtain greater penetration within existing markets, continue expanding the number of locations, expand service offerings, continue implementation of our traveling nursing program, and pursue selective acquisitions

  • Our strategy for our New York business involving the sale of surgical supplies and orthotic and prosthetic products is to reduce costs and to expand the business.

  • We intend to grow our Arcadia Rx mail order pharmaceutical business through Arcadia’s affiliate network marketing efforts to assisted living facilities, in addition to mail order pharmaceutical sales to the public.

  • We intend to seek the approval of our common stockholders, at our next meeting of stockholders, to reincorporate the Company in Delaware.

Since the RKDA merger, we have implemented substantial cost reductions to our New York based business  by reducing its payroll by approximately $1 million annually and closing one retail store location, additionally saving approximately $500,000 annually. 

We intend to grow this business through acquisitions and marketing initiatives.  In line with our growth strategy, we completed, during the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004, four acquisitions resulting in an annual increase of approximately $15 million in revenue and $2.2 million in operating income on a consolidated basis:  

  • On July 30, 2004, we acquired through a subsidiary substantially all of the assets of The Staffing Source, Inc., of St. Petersburg, Florida. The Staffing Source, Inc. provides temporary personnel for healthcare facilities and other businesses.  It reported sales of approximately $3.3 million for its 2003 fiscal year.  The purchase price to be paid out over a three year period is computed per a specified formula based on the annualized revenue, with a minimum total payment of $480,000 and a maximum total payment of $600,000.  The Company financed payment of part of the purchase price by drawing on its line of credit.   

  • On August 20, 2004, one of our subsidiaries acquired the stock of American Oxygen, Inc. of Peoria, Illinois for 200,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $186,000.  American Oxygen, Inc., operating from two locations in Illinois, sells and rents durable medical equipment, including respiratory/oxygen equipment.  Because the purchase price was paid in Company stock, the Company did not incur debt in order to finance this transaction. 

  • On August 30, 2004, a subsidiary of ours purchased selected assets of Merit Staffing Resources, Inc.  Merit provides temporary personnel for healthcare facilities and other businesses from five locations in Massachusetts.  It reported 2003 sales of $4.7 million. The purchase price is (a) cash equal to a specified percentage of the seller’s accounts receivable under 120 days outstanding as of closing, plus $200,000, subject to a total maximum cash payment at closing of $1.6 million plus (b) forty eight monthly payments computed per a specified formula based on gross margin with a minimum total payment of $864,000 and a maximum total payment of $1.6 million.  The Company financed payment of part of the purchase price by drawing on its line of credit.

Table of Contents

  • On September 23, 2004, a subsidiary acquired the stock of Trinity Healthcare of Winston-Salem, Inc. for $5.4 million.  Trinity provides oxygen and other respiratory services, as well as home intravenous therapy services.  Trinity has locations in Winston-Salem and Huntersville, North Carolina, and Marietta and Demorest, Georgia.  Two of Trinity’s selling shareholders were paid a combination of cash, shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and delivery of a promissory note.  Trinity’s two other selling shareholders will be paid the balance of the purchase price in cash and our Common Stock by January 15, 2005.  The Company also issued 150,000 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate value of $127,800, to certain Trinity employees.  The Company borrowed approximately $5 million to finance this transaction.   

We borrowed approximately $1,690,000 from our revolving credit facility to finance payment of a portion of the purchase prices for the Staffing Source and Merit Staffing transactions.  The Company continues to evaluate and intends to pursue additional potential acquisitions.

The Company’s principal sources of capital to pursue these acquisitions have been debt financing and issuance of the Company’s shares of Common Stock.  As noted below in the summary description of our Company’s financial position following the RKDA merger and in Risk Factors, we incurred substantial debt to finance the RKDA reverse merger and subsequent acquisitions, and we must continue to  maintain adequate cash flow from operations and other capital resources in order to repay these obligations timely. 

We expect the Company to continue pursuing a strategy that includes growth through acquisition.  A risk presented by this strategy is increasing our debt level to finance these acquisitions, which could strain our ability to pay interest, operating and other expenses from operating income, as well as the successful integration of the acquired businesses.  If acquired businesses are not consolidated successfully, profitability will be negatively impacted. 

To the extent that we have used and continue to use our Common Stock, options, warrants or convertible securities to pay for business acquisitions or as compensation for services rendered to the Company, all of our stockholders face dilution of their shareholding positions.  As described elsewhere in this prospectus, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert, in connection with the RKDA merger, were granted preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of the Company’s stock at fair market value within a three year period.  For a discussion of risk factors generally, see Risk Factors.

We intend to seek the approval of our common stockholders, at our next meeting of stockholders, to reincorporate the Company in Delaware. We believe that reincorporation in Delaware is an important component to our growth strategy to enhance our ability to attract and retain quality persons to serve on our Board of Directors.  We believe that the well-developed case law interpreting the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL will allow the Board to more effectively to perform its duties. Although the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, is relatively similar to the DGCL, there is a lack of predictability under Nevada law resulting from the limited body of case law interpreting the NRS. The DGCL and the court decisions construing it are widely regarded as the most extensive and well-defined body of corporate law in the United States.  We believe that the overall effect of reincorporation will be to enhance our Board’s ability to consider all appropriate courses of action with respect to significant transactions for the benefit of all stockholders, and that certainty with respect to the duties of directors is an important factor in attracting and retaining quality persons to serve on the Board of Directors.  Our ability to attract and retain quality persons to serve on our Board of Directors and to implement our growth strategy may be jeopardized, if we are not successful in implementing our strategy to reincorporate the Company in Delaware.

Company’s Financial Position Following RKDA Merger

Our Company’s financial position has changed as a result of the RKDA merger and the subsequent acquisitions.  Before the RKDA merger, we faced going concern issues.  As a result of the RKDA merger and subsequent acquisitions, our Company’s assets and net sales increased substantially.  Before the RKDA merger, the Old Critical had annual sales of approximately $4 million.  Arcadia Services reported sales of approximately $78 million and approximately $76 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  For the period from May 10, 2004 to June 30, 2004 and the quarter ended September 30, 2004, we reported net sales of approximately $13.6 million and $25.5 million, respectively, on a consolidated basis.  The Company incurred a loss of approximately $277,000 for the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004.

For the six months ended September 30, 2004, sales from our Old Critical business component (i.e., durable medical equipment, surgical supplies, orthotic and prosthetic products, oxygen and other respiratory therapy services and equipment) were $1,022,573.  Sales for services by Arcadia Services and Arcadia Rx for the six months ended September 30, 2004 were $38,110,485, compared to $37,763,822 for the six months ended September 30, 2003.  Net sales from services and our Old Critical business component, on a consolidated basis were $39,133,058 for the six months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $37,763,822 for the six months ended September 30, 2003.

Table of Contents

We incurred substantial debt to finance the RKDA reverse merger and subsequent acquisitions.  As of September 30, 2004, our long-term debt and line of credit debt (current portion) totals approximately $9.17 million, and our long-term debt and line of credit debt (less current portion) totals approximately $13 million, for a total of approximately $22.17 million.  In order to repay these obligations timely, we must maintain adequate cash flow from operations and other capital resources.  Cash which we must use to repay these obligations will reduce cash available for other purposes, such as payment of operating expenses, investment in new products and services offered by the Company, self-financing of acquisitions to grow the Company’s business, or distribution to our shareholders as a return on investment. 

We generated sufficient cash flow from operations during the six months ended September 30, 2004 to service our interest expense.  During calendar years 2005 and 2006, the Company presently intends to raise a minimum of up to $20 million, preferably from the equity markets, to retire short term debt and to finance acquisitions.  In the short term, the Company anticipates that it will be necessary to raise approximately $8 million  in equity to satisfy short term debt obligations, with additional funds to be raised from the equity or debt markets to fund selected acquisitions.  Raising capital through equity will result in dilution to our holders of Common Stock.  Other relevant risk factors are described elsewhere in this prospectus.

If we fail to timely repay our debt obligations, we will be in default of our obligations to our creditors.  Among other things, this could require us to seek refinancing at a higher cost than under our existing obligations.  Default could also result in our creditors pursuing legal remedies, such as foreclosure on security interests in the Company’s assets.  Either of these scenarios could result in the diminution of the value of our Common Stock and our shareholders’ investment in our Company.

Recent Developments

On December 17, 2004, our Grayrose, Inc. subsidiary purchased substantially all of the assets of BK Tool, Inc., a light industrial staffing business located in Sterling Heights, Michigan, with approximately $2 million in annual revenues.  The purchase price was $175,000, plus 85% of accounts receivables no greater than 60 days outstanding.  At closing, we paid the seller $393,000 in cash, which we financed by drawing on our revolving credit facility.  An additional   $75,000 is payable to the seller within 30 days of closing.

On December 22, 2004, the Company agreed to purchase the outstanding common stock of Beacon Respiratory Services, Inc., Beacon Respiratory Services of Alabama, Inc., Beacon Respiratory Services of Colorado, Inc., and Beacon Respiratory Services of Georgia, Inc.  These businesses furnish respiratory services in Florida, Alabama, Colorado, and Georgia and collectively have revenues of approximately $1.8 million annually.  We also closed the purchase on December 22, 2004, and the transaction is effective January 1, 2005. 

The purchase price is $1.5 million, including the payment of outstanding shareholder notes.  The purchase price is subject to increase by up to an additional $400,000 based on changes in reimbursement rates for calendar year 2005, with any additional amounts owed being payable to the sellers by January 1, 2006.  By January 15, 2005, $993,726 in cash is payable to Beacon’s shareholders, less $150,000 to be held by the Company to offset valid indemnification and other claims of the Company.  The Company’s counsel will hold 16.33% of  the Beacon shares purchased until the $150,000 (including accrued interest less any amounts offset or disputed) is paid to sellers by January 1, 2006.  During this time, the Company may vote such shares and shall otherwise have all incidents of ownership.

As of January 1, 2005, one of Beacon’s selling shareholders will be issued a promissory note for $151,274, with a one-year term at 8% annual interest.  Principal and interest will be payable quarterly.  If the Company defaults on the note, the selling shareholder may require the Company to transfer back the shares of stock sold by this selling shareholder (i.e., 33% of the Beacon shares purchased by the Company) or elect certain other remedies.  These shares will be held by the Company’s counsel until the note is paid.  Until the note is paid, the Company may vote such shares and shall otherwise have all incidents of ownership.

RISK FACTORS

Our business faces significant risks.  You should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties listed below, as well as the other information set forth in this prospectus.

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 have been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board since August 2, 2002. We acquired Arcadia and Arcadia Rx on May 10, 2004.  Before then, the Company’s business was limited to selling and renting medical equipment in the metropolitan New York City area with annual revenues of approximately $4 million with continuing losses, cash flow problems and going concern issues.  For the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $277,000.  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 RKDA’s 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 incurred substantial debt to finance RKDA’s acquisition of Arcadia Services and our subsequent acquisitions.  As of September 30, 2004, our long-term debt and line of credit debt (current portion) totals approximately $9.17 million, and our long-term debt and line of credit debt (less current portion) totals approximately $13 million, for a total of approximately $22.17 million.   This level of debt could have important consequences to you as a holder of shares. Below are some of the material potential consequences resulting from this significant amount of debt:

  • We may be unable to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • We are subject to the risks that interest rates and our interest expense will increase.

  • 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, we must maintain adequate cash flow from operations.  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 Company’s business, or distribution to our shareholders as a return on investment. 

The Company generated sufficient cash from operations to pay interest expense during the six months ended September 30, 2004.  Operating income of $284,684 for the for period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004 includes depreciation and amortization expenses  of $ 87,445  and a loss on disposition of fixed assets (due to the closure of an office location) of $90,000.  Adding back these non cash expenses increases operating income to $462,089.  Interest expense for the same period is $ 397,012, which includes interest for conversion rights for  various notes payable of $90,000.  Backing out these non cash expenses results in interest expense of $307,012.  Consequently, the adjusted operating income of $462,089 is sufficient to cover the adjusted interest expense of $307,012.   

The operating income per the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 is $2,076,335.  The interest expense is  $726,452.  Consequently, based on the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Company would have had sufficient cash from operations to cover interest expense as of March 31, 2004.  The pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared as if the Arcadia acquisition and the RKDA merger had been completed as of April 1, 2003 for the purpose of the statement of income and March 31, 2004 for balance sheet purposes.

Table of Contents

Based on our level of debt as of September 30, 2004, we anticipate that the Company is likely to continue generating cash from operations sufficient to pay interest expense.  In part, we expect this to occur through the elimination of duplicative overhead as we assimilate our acquired businesses, we well as through cost reductions where appropriate.  For example, since May 10, 2004, we have implemented substantial cost reductions to our New York based business by reducing its payroll and closing one location, resulting on annual cost reductions of approximately $1.5 million.  Together, these annual savings of approximately $1.5 million are sufficient to cover our estimated annual interest expense of $720,000, based on our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2004.  Whether the Company would have sufficient cash flow from operations to fund higher levels of interest expense would need to be assessed at the time, based on the circumstances. 

Management believes that cash from operations alone will not be sufficient to repay short term debt obligations, nor will cash from operations alone be sufficient to pursue management’s strategy of growth through acquisition.  Management anticipates that the sources of funds for the payment of short term debt obligations will be primarily from the equity market.  As of September 30, 2004, the Company’s long term debt position (excluding line of credit debt) is $8,245,814, the current portion of which is $7,699,935.  During calendar years 2005 and 2006, the Company presently intends to raise a minimum of up to $20 million, preferably from the equity markets, to retire short term debt and to finance acquisitions.  In the short term, the Company anticipates raising approximately $8 million  in equity to satisfy short term debt obligations, with additional funds to be raised from the equity or debt markets to fund selected acquisitions.  In the event the Company does not successfully raise funds from equity to satisfy short term debt obligations, the Company will need to pursue financing through debt, which could have a higher cost to the Company.

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 Company’s net proceeds from financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2004, the changes in the Company’s 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. 

Due to our significant 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.

We may require additional credit for working capital and acquisition purposes.  On May 7, 2004, Arcadia and three wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with Comerica Bank which provides the borrowers with a revolving credit facility with a credit commitment amount of up to $12 million through May 7, 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 or $2 million, plus an overformula advance of $1 million payable within one year in 12 monthly installments.  Subsequently, additional funds were drawn on the overformula advance.

On July 29, 2004, the revolving credit commitment amount was increased to $14.4 million, and on November 23, 2004 it was increased to $16 million.  On November 23, 2004, the credit agreement was amended to provide that the overformula balance is $1.2 million and that overformula advance is payable at the rate of $100,000 per month for 12 consecutive months, beginning January, 2005.

As of December 17, 2004, the outstanding amount drawn on the credit facility was approximately $14.9 million, of which approximately $13.7 million is classified as long term debt.  Under the advance formula in effect as of this date and based on the amount of the Company's eligible accounts receivable, the Company is eligible to draw a total of approximately $15.7 million on the credit facility, less repayment of the overformula amount beginning in January, 2005.

The revolving credit commitment amount on the Comerica Bank credit facility has been increased twice since May 7, 2004.  Since that date, we completed three staffing business acquisitions, in addition to the RKDA reverse merger.  In the future, the Company may need to seek an increase in the amount the Company is permitted to draw on the revolving credit facility to finance working capital or staffing business acquisitions.  Management cannot presently quantify the likelihood of this occurring.  Factors that have bearing on whether we may require additional credit include our ability to assimilate our acquired businesses by reducing operating costs through economies of scale, our ability to increase revenues through internal growth based on our existing cost structure, and our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to service our debt level and operating costs.

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.

The terms of our Credit Agreement 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. Arcadia and its subsidiaries granted the bank security interests in all of their assets. The credit agreement provides that the debt will mature on May 7, 2006. 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 and on all of the assets of Arcadia and its subsidiaries. Any such default and resulting foreclosure would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Table of Contents

In order to repay our short term debt obligations, as well as to pursue our strategy of growth through acquisitions, we intend to obtain equity financing, which could result in dilution to our stockholders.

During calendar years 2005 and 2006, the Company presently intends to raise a minimum of up to $20 million, preferably from the equity markets, to retire short term debt and to finance acquisitions.  In the short term, the Company anticipates raising a minimum of approximately $8 million  in equity to satisfy short term debt obligations, with additional funds to be raised from the equity or debt markets to fund selected acquisitions.  Further, because of our potential capital requirements needed to pursue our business plan of growth through acquisition, 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.  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 stockholders 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.

Due to the Voting Agreement, the Company’s principal officers may significantly influence the Board of Directors to retain their offices and senior management positions and for the Company to pursue their business strategies, notwithstanding the Company’s financial performance. 

The Voting Agreement assures Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert that during its term, a majority of our Board of Directors will consist of individuals nominated and elected by them.  This assures Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert that a majority of the Board will consist of directors who likely share their strategic vision for the Company, and who are likely supportive of the business strategies they propose, as well as their management of the Company.  This gives them significant influence over the selection and the removal of the Company’s officers and senior management by the Board, including the management positions they each hold.  They could influence a majority of the Board to retain their offices and senior management positions with the Company or to renegotiate their terms of employment and compensation, notwithstanding the Company’s financial performance.  Absent the Voting Agreement, they may not have the ability to exert such influence, because although they are collecti vely the owners of 27.67% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of December 17, 2004, they collectively own less than a majority of the outstanding stock.  They may also exert  significant influence over a majority of the Board relative to the submission of issues to the Company’s shareholders at annual and special meetings other than for the election of directors, such as the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the approval of a merger or consolidation of the Company with another company, and the approval of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

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. The Company anticipates the continued receipt of the services of John E. Elliott, II, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Larry Kuhnert, the Company’s Vice Chairman of Finance, Treasurer, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Cathy Sparling, Arcadia’s Chief Operating Officer. The loss of the services or advice of any of these persons could have a material adverse effect on the business and prospects of the Company. 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 Company’s inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on us.

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.

The medical staffing, non-medical staffing and home care industries are each large and growing markets, experiencing on average annual growth of 12% since 1991, according to industry publications. The growth in medical staffing is being driven by the shrinkage in the number of health care professionals at the same time as the demand for their services is increasing. Health care 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 Company’s 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 year ended March 31, 2004 or the six months ended September 30, 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., health care 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 health care 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 payer’s 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 or our marketing partners 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 health care products. Third party payers are increasingly attempting to contain the costs of health care 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.  While these are risks that any company offering the array of products and services that we offer are subject to, our competitors in the staffing industry which do not pursue a strategy of cross selling these regulated products and services do not face this risk or the associated cost of maintaining compliance with these laws and regulations. 

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 Company’s competitors and potential competitors relative to the Company’s products and services in the areas of surgical supplies, orthotic and prosthetic products, 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 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 management’s execution of the integration plan.  Our business plan is premised on increasing our revenues by leveraging the strengths of our affiliate 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 Company’s 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 Company’s business strategy may result in our inability to be profitable and adversely impact your investment in our Company.

We anticipate that the Company will pursue an aggressive growth strategy, which will depend, in large part, upon our ability to develop and expand the Company’s businesses. We anticipate pursuing growth by various means, including the acquisition of existing businesses. Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including the diversion of management’s 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 Company’s 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, our Common Stock pursuant to this Registration Statement and 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 stockholders who may exercise substantial control over our actions to the detriment of our other stockholders.

There are six shareholders of the Company, including John E. Elliott II and Lawrence R. Kuhnert, who are beneficial owners of 5% or more of the Company’s shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2004.  These shareholders collectively own 62% of our shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2004.  Assuming the exercise of all warrants currently outstanding, the number of 5% beneficial owners would increase to seven, and all seven shareholders would collectively own 65% of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2004. 

This concentrated ownership of our Common Stock gives a few stockholders 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, as well as the Voting Agreement to which some of these shareholders are a party, will prevent other shareholders from influencing the election of directors and other significant corporate decisions, to the extent that these six or seven shareholders vote their shares of Common Stock together.  The interests of these six or seven shareholders may differ from the interests of our other stockholders and could, for example, result in their voting down a third party offer to acquire us that you may feel is in your best interests. 

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 September 30, 2004, the closing price of our Common Stock, as quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board, has 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 six months ended September 30, 2004, 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 $1.08. On December 17, 2004, the average of the last reported bid and ask prices of our Common Stock was $1.075 per share. See Dividend Policy and Market Information at page 20.

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 management's attention and resources, all of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations.

Because our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, there may be difficulty in trading and obtaining quotations for our Common Stock, and you should consider our Common Stock to be illiquid.

The Company’s Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol ACDI.  Our Common Stock is not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our Common Stock have fluctuated significantly. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, the company’s securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the Common Stock and would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock and on our ability to raise additional capital.  You should consider our Common Stock to be illiquid.

Because there is no established market for our Class A Warrants and we do not expect our Class A Warrants to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, there may be difficulty in trading and obtaining quotations for our Class A Warrants and you should consider our Class A Warrants to be illiquid.

There is no established market for our Class A Warrants. The Company’s Class A Warrants are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, nor are they listed on any exchange. We do not expect our Class A Warrants to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, nor are they listed on any exchange.  As a result, an investor may find it difficult to trade, dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our Class A Warrants.  You should consider our Class A Warrants to be illiquid.

Your resale of any securities you acquire under this prospectus 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 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.

Our Common Stock is subject to the SEC’s Penny Stock rules, which may make our shares more difficult to sell.

Because our Common Stock is not traded on a stock exchange or on Nasdaq, and the market price of the Common Stock is less than $5.00 per share, the Common Stock is classified as a “penny stock.”  The SEC rules regarding penny stocks may have the effect of reducing trading activity in our Common Stock and making it more difficult for investors to sell. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

  • make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;
  • receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale;
  • provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in "penny stocks" and which describe the market for these "penny stocks" as well as a purchaser's legal remedies;
  • obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a "penny stock" can be completed; and
  • give bid and offer quotations and broker and salesperson compensation information to the customer orally or in writing before or with the confirmation.

These rules may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities and may result in a lower trading volume of our Common Stock and lower trading prices.

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 Company’s Board of Directors.  Except as otherwise provided in the Company’s 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 Stockholders.

A total of 10,531,000 warrants to purchase 10,531,000 shares of our Common Stock are issued and outstanding as of December 17, 2004.  If the market price of our Common Stock rises above the exercise price of outstanding warrants, 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 stockholders will incur dilution.  The exercise price of all common stock warrants, including Class A Warrants, is subject to adjustment upon stock dividends, splits and combinations, as well as certain anti-dilution adjustments as set forth in the common stock warrants.

We have granted stock options to certain investors, and we grant stock options to our directors and employees as compensation. The exercise of stock options may depress our stock price and result in dilution to our common stockholders.

As of December 17, 2004, options to purchase 9,378,100 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding. The 72,103,381 shares of Common Stock offered by the security holders under the prospectus include 500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options by Stephen Garchick, Trustee and 37,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options by the Stanley Scholsohn Family Partnership.  If the market price of our Common Stock rises above the exercise price of outstanding options, 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 stockholders 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.

We are dependent our affiliates to sell our staffing and home care services and the loss of any of these affiliates could adversely affect our business.

We largely rely upon our affiliates to sell our staffing and home care services.  As of December 17, 2004, Arcadia has 27 affiliates.  Arcadia’s affiliates are owner-operated businesses.  The office locations maintained by our affiliates are listed on our Company’s website.  The responsibilities of Arcadia’s affiliates include the recruitment and training of field staff employed by Arcadia, sales to Arcadia’s customers, hiring and paying affiliate office staff at the affiliate’s expense, maintaining and paying for affiliate office equipment and office space at the affiliate’s expense, and providing data to Arcadia for payroll and billing. Each affiliate has a defined geographic area.   The loss of any of our affiliates could have a material adverse effect on our operations. If we are unable to recruit replacement affiliates or our remaining existing affiliates are unable to absorb the sales of any affiliates we lose, we may sell our services directly, which would force us to invest in sales and marketing personnel and related costs, which would cause our operating costs to increase and our margins to fall.

The lack of a majority of independent directors on our Board of Directors may affect our ability to be listed on a national securities exchange or quotation system.

We are not subject to the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or quotation system. The listing standards of the national securities exchanges and automated quotation systems require 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.  Currently, only one of our directors, who is also member of our Audit Committee, meets the definition of an “independent” director as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and as defined by listing standards.  Further, a majority of our directors are executive officers and thereby do not satisfy these independence standards.  There is no guarantee that we will be able to appoint two additional directors who will satisfy these independence requirements.  If we are unable to appoint two additional independent directors to our Board, we will be precluded from listing any of our capital stock on a national securities exchange or quotation system.  It is our intention that a majority of the Company's directors will satisfy independence standards by the end of 2005.

Our Board of Directors, which is not fully independent, acts as the compensation committee, which presents the risk that compensation and benefits paid to two of our executive officers who are Board members and significant shareholders may not be commensurate with the Company’s financial performance.

A compensation committee consisting of independent directors is a safeguard against self-dealing by company executives.  Our Board of Directors acts as a compensation committee and determines the compensation and benefits of our executive officers, administers our employee stock and benefit plans, and reviews policies relating to the compensation and benefits of our employees.  Our five member Board of Directors presently consists of three executive officers of our Company, two of whom (i.e., Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert) presently own more than 25% of our outstanding Common Stock and control the election of a majority of the Board of Directors through the Voting Agreement.  Although all Board members have fiduciary obligations in connection with compensation matters, our lack of an independent compensation committee presents the risk that our executive officers on the Board may influence the entire Board to set their personal compensation and benefits at levels that are not commensurate with the Company’s financial performance. 

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.

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.  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 Company’s common stock. 

The Nevada Business Corporation Law, N.R.S. §78.378 et seq., governs 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 corporation obtains voting rights in the acquired shares as conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders. The articles of incorporation or bylaws of a corporation, however, may provide that the 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 subject to the Voting Agreement.

The Nevada Business Corporation Law, N.R.S. §78.411 et seq., governs combinations with interested stockholders. 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 stockholder (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 stockholder for three years after the date that the person first became an interested stockholder unless the combination or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors before the person first became an interested stockholder. 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 stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder exceeds certain thresholds set forth in the statute. We are subject to N.R.S. §78.411 et seq. of the Nevada Business Corporation Law.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock by the selling security holders, except if and to the extent that two selling security holders exercise options to purchase shares of Common Stock. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of Class A Warrants held by the selling security holders if the Class A Warrants are exercised. We intend to use any proceeds received from the exercise of the stock options and the Class A Warrants held by the selling security holders to reduce our existing indebtedness and for working capital.

There is no established market for our Class A Warrants. The Company’s Class A Warrants are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, nor are they listed on any exchange. We do not expect our Class A Warrants to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or listed on any exchange.  As a result, an investor may find it difficult to trade, dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our Class A Warrants.

There are approximately 270 record holders of our Common Stock as of December 10, 2004.  The number of record holders of our Common Stock excludes an estimate of the number of beneficial owners of Common Stock held in street name. The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is National City Bank, 629 Euclid Avenue, Suite 635, Cleveland, Ohio 44114 (216 222-2537).

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common shares, and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends with respect to those securities in the foreseeable future. Our current business plan is to retain any future earnings to finance the expansion and development of our business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors as our Board may deem relevant at that time.

Overview

The Company has undergone substantial change in its financial position and business operations during the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004.  Before the RKDA merger, we had continuing losses, cash flow problems and faced going concern issues.  We had annual sales of approximately $4 million.  The Company entered into the merger agreement with RKDA in order to expand product and service offerings, increase geographic markets served, and to spread its cost structure over a wider base of customers, products and service offerings.  The net effect of the RKDA merger was to alleviate these financial problems. 

Our combined company is now a national provider of staffing (medical and non-medical) and home care services (skilled and personal care/support) currently operating in 21 states through 56 affiliated and 13 company-owned offices. We also operate mail order pharmacy and durable medical equipment businesses providing oxygen and other respiratory therapy services and home medical equipment. In addition, we sell surgical supplies and orthotic and prosthetic products, principally through three retail outlets in the New York metropolitan area. 

The Company’s assets and net sales increased substantially during the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2004, we reported total assets of approximately $52.5 million, on a consolidated basis, compared to $17.2 million as of March 31, 2004 reported by Arcadia Services, Inc., the entity treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes in the RKDA merger.  See below for more information on the reverse merger accounting treatment of the RKDA merger. 

For the period May 10, 2004 to June 30, 2004 and the quarter ended September 30, 2004, we reported net sales of approximately $13.6 million and $25.5 million, respectively, on a consolidated basis.  Although the Company incurred a loss of approximately $277,000 for the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004, the Company  had positive cash flow of $262,000 during the period, taking into consideration non cash and expenses relating to acquisitions totaling approximately $539,000.  See Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources

Debt.  We incurred substantial debt to finance RKDA’s acquisition of Arcadia Services and subsequent acquisitions.  As of September 30, 2004, our long-term debt and line of credit debt (current portion) totals approximately $9.17 million, and our long-term debt and line of credit debt (less current portion) totals approximately $13 million, for a total of approximately $22.17 million.  In order to repay these obligations timely, we must maintain adequate cash flow from operations and other capital resources.  We generated sufficient cash flow from operations during the six months ended September 30, 2004 to service our interest expense.  During calendar years 2005 and 2006, the Company presently intends to raise a minimum of up to $20 million, preferably from the equity markets, to retire short term debt and to finance acquisitions.  In the short term, the Company anticipates raising approximately $8 million  in equity to satisfy short term debt obligations, with additional funds to be raised from the equity or debt markets to fund selected acquisitions.  Raising capital through equity will result in dilution to our holders of Common Stock.  For further discussion, see Growth Strategy and Liquidity and Capital Resources, below.

Table of Contents

Growth Strategy.  We have pursued a strategy of growth internally and externally through acquisitions.  Our internal growth strategy is to capitalize on customer demand for a larger array of integrated home care services by obtaining greater penetration within existing markets and to expand service offerings by cross selling home care patients with personal services, mail order pharmacy and home oxygen and medical equipment products.  In addition, we intend to proactively remind customers to reorder and replace their supplies.  To this end, we have hired a director of business development to spearhead internal growth development.  During the six months ended September 30, 2004, sales on a consolidated basis increased by $10,855,837 (29%) over the comparable period ended September 30, 2003.  We believe that $2,350,529 of this increase in sales is due to internal growth, principally within our staffing business, due to a continued trend in economic recovery.  See Results of Operations.    

Our growth strategy also encompasses expansion of our business by acquisition.  There are many small local competitors currently serving the marketplace, each of which has a complete infrastructure in place to support its existing business.  We hope to capitalize on the consolidation opportunities that we believe exist within the fragmented home care and staffing industries by becoming a larger provider of comprehensive national staffing and home care services through greater economies of scale.  We intend to implement this strategy by smaller companies joining our affiliate network and by acquiring other staffing, home care and durable medical equipment businesses.  In line with this strategy, we completed, during the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004, four acquisitions resulting in an annual increase of approximately $15 million in revenue and $2.2 million in operating income on a consolidated basis:  

  • On July 30, 2004, we acquired through a subsidiary substantially all of the assets of The Staffing Source, Inc., of St. Petersburg, Florida. The Staffing Source, Inc. provides temporary personnel for healthcare facilities and other businesses.  It reported sales of approximately $3.3 million for its 2003 fiscal year.  The purchase price to be paid out over a three year period is computed per a specified formula based on the annualized revenue, with a minimum total payment of $480,000 and a maximum total payment of $600,000.  The Company financed payment of part of the purchase price by drawing on its line of credit.

  • On August 20, 2004, one of our subsidiaries acquired the stock of American Oxygen, Inc. of Peoria, Illinois for 200,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $186,000.  American Oxygen, Inc., operating from two locations in Illinois, sells and rents durable medical equipment, including respiratory/oxygen equipment.  Because the purchase price was paid in Company stock, the Company did not incur debt in order to finance this transaction. 

  • On August 30, 2004, a subsidiary of ours purchased selected assets of Merit Staffing Resources, Inc.  Merit provides temporary personnel for healthcare facilities and other businesses from five locations in Massachusetts.  It reported 2003 sales of $4.7 million. The purchase price is (a) cash equal to a specified percentage of the seller’s accounts receivable under 120 days outstanding as of closing, plus $200,000, subject to a total maximum cash payment at closing of $1.6 million plus (b) forty eight monthly payments computed per a specified formula based on gross margin with a minimum total payment of $864,000 and a maximum total payment of $1.6 million.  The Company financed payment of part of the purchase price by drawing on its line of credit.  

  • On September 23, 2004, a subsidiary acquired the stock of Trinity Healthcare of Winston-Salem, Inc. for $5.4 million.  Trinity provides oxygen and other respiratory services, as well as home intravenous therapy services.  Trinity has locations in Winston-Salem and Huntersville, North Carolina, and Marietta and Demorest, Georgia.  Two of Trinity’s selling shareholders were paid a combination of cash, shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and delivery of a promissory note.  Trinity’s two other selling shareholders will be paid the balance of the purchase price in cash and our Common Stock by January 15, 2005.  The Company also issued 150,000 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate value of $127,800, to certain Trinity employees.  The Company borrowed approximately $5 million to finance this transaction.   

We borrowed approximately $1,690,000 from our revolving credit facility to finance payment of a portion of the purchase prices for the Staffing Source and Merit Staffing transactions.  The Company continues to evaluate and intends to pursue additional potential acquisitions.

We expect the Company to continue pursuing a strategy that includes growth through acquisition.  A risk presented by this strategy is the successful integration of the acquired businesses.  If acquired businesses are not consolidated successfully, profitability will be negatively impacted.  The Company’s principal sources of capital to pursue these acquisitions have been debt financing and issuance of the Company’s shares of Common Stock.  Debt, which the Company incurred to finance part of the cost of  these acquisitions, must be repaid.  Management anticipates that the sources of funds for the payment of short term debt obligations will be primarily from the equity market.  As of September 30, 2004, the Company’s long term debt position (excluding amounts outstanding on the Comerica Bank credit facility) is $8,245,814, the current portion of which is $7,699,935.  During calendar years 2005 and 2006, the Company presently intends to raise a minimum of up to $20 million, preferably from the equity markets, to retire short term debt and to finance acquisitions.  In the short term, the Company anticipates raising approximately $8 million  in equity to satisfy short term debt obligations, with additional funds to be raised from the equity or debt markets to fund additional acquisitions.  Raising capital through equity investment will result in dilution to our Common Stockholders.  See also Liquidity and Capital Resources for discussion of additional risk factors.

Table of Contents

Our level of debt incurred during the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004 also increased our interest expense.  Nevertheless, the Company had sufficient cash flow to pay interest expense during this period.  Operating income of $284,684 for the period includes depreciation and amortization expenses  of $ 87,445  and a loss on disposition of fixed assets (due to the closure of an office location) of $90,000.  Adding back these non cash expenses increases operating income to $462,089.  Interest expense for the same period is $ 397,012, which includes interest for conversion rights for  various notes payable of $90,000.  Backing out these non cash expenses results in interest expense of $307,012.  Consequently, the adjusted operating income of $462,089 is sufficient to cover the adjusted interest expense of $307,012.   

Based on our outstanding short and long term debt and line of credit as of September 30, 2004 and assuming no material decline in our revenues, management believes the Company will continue to generate cash from operations sufficient to fund day to day operations, as well as interest expense, due in part to reductions in the Company’s operating expenses by approximately $1.5 million annually, thereby improving the availability of cash.  These annual savings are sufficient to cover our estimated annual interest expense of $720,000, based on our outstanding short and long term debt and line of credit as of September 30, 2004.

Cost Reductions.  One of our strategies is to reduce costs and to benefit from economies of scale. Since May 10, 2004, the Company has implemented substantial cost reductions to our Classic Health Care Solutions business by reducing payroll and closing one location, resulting in savings of approximately $1.5 million annually.  The Company intends to evaluate every operating unit in order to reduce costs to increase efficiency.  Likewise, our ability to centrally furnish business administrative functions should result in improved financial performance for our acquired businesses through the elimination of unnecessary administrative overhead.  Management anticipates that pursuing this cost reduction strategy should improve financial performance and cash flow.  The success of our cost reduction strategy depends on how effectively we can consolidate our acquired businesses.  If we are not able to successfully consolidate the acquired businesses, we may not realize hoped for financial performance which, among other things, could negatively impact the price of our Common Stock and your investment in our Company.  The Company also intends to increase productivity through system enhancements.

Accounting Acquirer.  The consolidated financial statements of Arcadia Services, Inc. became the historical financial statements of the Company as a result of the RKDA reverse merger.  For accounting purposes, RKDA is the accounting acquirer of the Company, based on the application of the criteria specified in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141.  Application of the criteria of SFAS No. 141 to the facts and circumstances of the RKDA reverse merger demonstrate that RKDA is the accounting acquirer of the Company for the following principal  reasons:

  • RKDA’s two former shareholders and the PIPE investors acquired a majority voting interest in the Company.  RKDA’s two former shareholders received 21,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock constituting 27.9% of the Company’s 76,393,351 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 10, 2004. The shareholders from the PIPE transaction, by which the Company raised the $5 million it loaned RKDA to finance the Arcadia Services acquisition, acquired a 43.2% shareholding position.  The old Critical shareholders were diluted to a 28.9% shareholding position.

  • RKDA’s two former shareholders acquired control of the Board of Directors by entering into a voting agreement with certain other shareholders permitting them to elect a majority of the Board, until they either (a) own less than 10% of the Company, (b) are no longer executive officers of the Company or (c) the maximum period lowed by law for the agreement to exist. The Company believes that the criteria above will not be met (and thus the RKDA shareholders will control the Board of Directors) for the foreseeable future.

  • RKDA’s two former shareholders became the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the President, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer. Additionally, the Chief Operating Officer of Arcadia retained that position.

  • RKDA initiated the combination and RKDA’s (i.e., Arcadia’s) assets, revenues and earnings significantly exceed the assets, revenues and earnings of Old Critical.

In the consolidated financial statements accompanying this prospectus, the Predecessor entity is Arcadia Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries presented on a consolidated basis and the Successor entity is the combined Company resulting from the RKDA merger, presented on a consolidated basis.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Identified below are some of the more significant accounting policies followed by Arcadia in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of our accounting policies see “Summary of Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for services to customers are recognized in the period services were rendered and recorded at established rates. Revenue for the sale of medications, which are generally dispensed by our pharmacy and shipped directly to the patient’s home are recognized at the time of shipment.

Revenue for the sale of durable medical equipment and related supplies, including oxygen equipment, ventilators, Wheelchairs, hospital beds and infusion pumps, are recognized at the time of delivery. The complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Such adjustments are typically identified and recorded at the point of cash application, claim denial or account review.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Arcadia maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts Arcadia believes to be uncollectible. In addition, Arcadia records an additional allowance based on certain percentages of aged receivables, which is determined based on historical experience and assessment of the general financial conditions affecting the customer base. Arcadia has a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. Any unanticipated change in one or those customer’s credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectibility of the amounts due from such customers, could have a material effect on the results of Arcadia’s operations in the period in which such changes or events occur and could force Arcadia to find additional source(s) of financing to fund Arcadia’s operations.

Goodwill

Prior to 2002, Arcadia amortized its goodwill using the straight-line method over periods ranging from seven to fifteen years. In 2002, Arcadia adopted SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Accordingly, amortization of goodwill ceased as of December 31, 2002. Goodwill is now tested for impairment annually by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value.

We review goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."  SFAS No. 142 requires that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Our reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note (7) of the consolidated financial statements. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on market multiples of revenues or earnings for comparable companies. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. 

If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we are required to perform the second step to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we must record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

SFAS No. 142 also requires that the fair value of the purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives be estimated and compared to the carrying value.  We estimate the fair value of these intangible assets using the income approach. We recognize an impairment loss when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value.

-27-


Table of Contents

The income approach, which we use to estimate the fair value of our reporting units and purchased intangible assets, is dependent on a number of factors including estimates of future market growth and trends, forecasted revenue and costs, expected periods the assets will be utilized, appropriate discount rates and other variables. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. In addition, we make certain judgments about the selection of comparable companies used in the market approach in valuing our reporting units, as well as certain assumptions to allocate shared assets and liabilities to calculate the carrying values for each of our reporting units.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized currently for the future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed for some portion or all of a net deferred tax asset. Judgment is used in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. In arriving at these judgments, the weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets and review the amount of such allowance annually. When we determine certain deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be utilized, we will reduce our valuation allowance accordingly.

We have provided a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets related to the approximate $2,610,000 operating carryovers of Critical expiring through 2024. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 rules limit the utilization of net operating losses following a change in control of a company. It has been determined that a change in control of Arcadia has taken place. Therefore, Arcadia’s ability to utilize its net operating losses will be subject to severe limitations in future periods, which could have an effect of eliminating substantially all the future income tax benefits of the NOL’s. Tax benefits from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards will be recorded at such time and to such extent.

Prior to May 10, 2004, Arcadia’s sole stockholder elected for Arcadia to be taxed as a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary. Accordingly, Arcadia was not subject to federal and state income tax on its earnings. Rather, such earnings were reported on the sole stockholder’s income tax return.

Table of Contents

Revenue. Sales for the six months ended September 30, 2004 are split between the Predecessor entity and the Successor entity.  The sales by the Successor entity from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004 were $39,133,058, and sales by the Predecessor entity from April 1, 2004 to May 9, 2004 were $9,486,601.

The sales of both the Predecessor and Successor entities for the six months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $10,855,837 (29%) to $48,619,659, as compared to $37,763,822 for the six months ended September 30, 2003.  Of this total increase, $1,727,438 is attributable to the operations of the entities acquired by the Predecessor entity before the RKDA reverse merger effective May 10, 2004 (i.e., including the Old Critical), $5,857,949 is attributable to acquisitions by the Predecessor entity before the beginning of the six month period ending September 30, 2004, and $919,921 is attributable to the four acquisitions by the Successor entity during the six months ended September 30, 2004.  See Overview, Growth Strategy for a description of these four acquisitions. 

The remainder of the increase in sales during the six months ended September 30, 2004 is $2,350,529, which is due to internal growth.  This internal growth is due to an increase in the volume of sales, because there were no significant changes in sales prices during the period from May 10, 2004 through September 30, 2004.  This increase in sales volume is principally within our staffing business.  We believe this increase is attributable, in part, to a continued recovering economy, a trend we perceived during the last quarter of the twelve months ended March 31, 2004.  In our experience, employers, due to the uncertainty presented by a recovering economy, generally have a tendency to initially increase their work force through temporary employees, rather than through traditional employees.  To the extent this perceived economic trend continues, the Company anticipates continued internal growth within its staffing business.

Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales for the six months ended September 30, 2004 are split between the Predecessor and Successor entities.  The cost of sales from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004 was $33,147,670 and from April 1, 2004 to May 9, 2004 was $8,120,463.  The combined cost of sales for the six months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $9,181,682 (29%) to $41,268,133, as compared to $32,086,451 for the six months ended September 30, 2003.

The gross profit margin for the six months ended September 30, 2004 was 15.1%, consistent with the gross profit margin for the six months ended September 30, 2003 at 15.1%.  Because the cost of sales and revenues both increased by 29% during this six month period, the business acquisitions during and preceding this six month period did not materially impact gross profit margin. 

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses for the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004 were $5,613,299 and for the period from April 1, 2004 to May 9, 2004 were $886,916. Combined general and administrative expenses totaled $6,500,215 for the six months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $3,886,774 for the six months ended September 30, 2003. The net increase of $2,613,441, or 67%, consists of additional general and administrative expenses related to the merged entities as discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2004 is due in part to expenses associated with the RKDA merger and the subsequent acquisitions, as well as the administrative and other costs of being a public company.  Consequently, we believe that the $1.5 million in cost reductions implemented since May 10, 2004 did not fully impact the Company during this period.   

Depreciation  expense was $87,445 for the six months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $5,655 for the six months ended September 30, 2003. The increase of $81,790 consists primarily of additional depreciation expenses of the merged entities as discussed in notes to the consolidated financial statements.  We anticipate that depreciation expense will increase as we purchase additional equipment for our home care business, and as Trinity Healthcare is further assimilated into our Company, as the consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2004 include depreciation expense for Trinity for one week only of approximately $3,000.      

Interest expense was $397,012 for the six months ended September 30, 2004. There was no interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 2003, because the Predecessor entity had no outstanding debt.  Interest expense incurred in the six months ended September 30, 2004 included $220,913 of interest to the bank, $45,000 of interest on the bridge loan, $90,000 of amortization expense for the conversion rights for a note, and $41,099 of interest to various note payables.  The increase in interest expense is a result of borrowings resulting from the acquisitions of the various merged entities, as well as amortization of debt discount for conversion rights, as discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Amortization of deferred debt discount was $157,451 for the six months ended September 30, 2004 of which $151,692 represents the amount related to the bridge loan and the remaining $5,759 represents the amount related to other notes payable. The deferred debt discount is the fair value of stock options and warrants granted to certain note holders as explained in notes to the consolidated financial statements.  Deferred debt discount is being amortized over the life of the promissory note.

Year Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2003

Revenue. Arcadia’s revenues (i.e., the Predecessor entity) for the year ended March 31, 2004 were $78.4 million compared with $76.3 million for 2003, an increase of $2.1 million or 2.8%, resulting primarily from the two acquisitions completed at the beginning of the third and fourth quarter of the year.  In addition the recovery of the economy in the last quarter increased revenue in light industrial staffing.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales approximated $66.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 compared with $64.9 million for 2003, an increase of $1.8 million or 2.8%, resulting from the payroll expense related to the increased revenue. The increase in the cost of sales is also contributed by the increase in pay rate due to the shortage of nurses and competition.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses approximated $7.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 compared with $7.1 million for 2003, an increase of $0.8 million or 11.3%, resulting from increased administrative salaries and the conversion of 2 affiliate offices to company owned offices.

Year Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2002

Revenue. Arcadia’s revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003 was $76.3 million compared with $75.8 million for 2002, an increase of approximately $.5 million or 1%, resulting from 2 small acquisitions completed in the third quarter of the year.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales approximated $64.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 compared with $64.5 million for 2002, an increase of approximately $.4 million or 1%, resulting from the payroll related to the increase in revenue.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses approximated $7.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 compared with $7.5 million for 2002, a decrease of approximately $0.4 million or 5.3% resulting from the adoptions of SFAS No. 142, whereby the amortization of Goodwill and other Intangible Assets ceased. In addition the bad debt expense was less because of good collections.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal capital resources are cash from operations, cash from debt financing, and cash from the original issue of shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Company’s principal uses of cash are to pay operating and administrative expenses related to the management of the Company and its subsidiaries, to pay down debt incurred to fund operations and completed acquisitions, and to finance future acquisitions.

For the six months ended September 30, 2004, the Company generated cash from operations sufficient to pay operating and administrative expenses, even though the Company incurred a loss of approximately $277,000 for the period.  Taking into consideration non cash and expenses related to acquisitions, however, the Company  had positive cash flow during the period.  Non cash and expenses related to acquisitions amount to approximately $539,000, resulting  in a positive cash flow of $262,000 for the period. 

The Company generated sufficient cash from operations to pay interest expense, during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and the six months ended September 30, 2004.  For the period of May 10, 2004 to June 30, 2004, the Company reported operating income of $103,224, which excludes a $90,000 non cash loss resulting from the disposition of assets due to the closure of an office location included in general and administrative expense.  Adding back this non cash loss results in adjusted operating income of $193,244.  Interest expense for this period is $244,282, which includes the amortization of conversion rights of note holders, a non-cash expense totaling approximately $90,000.  When subtracted from interest expense, this results in adjusted interest expense of $154,282.  This adjusted interest expense of $154,282 is less than the adjusted operating income of $193,244, thereby indicating that the Company had sufficient cash flow from operations to pay interest expense during this period.

The Company had sufficient cash flow to pay interest expense during period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004.  Operating income of $284,684 for the for the period includes depreciation and amortization expenses  of $ 87,445  and a loss on disposition of fixed assets (due to the closure of an office location) of $90,000.  Adding back these non cash expenses increases operating income to $462,089.  Interest expense for the same period is $ 397,012, which includes amortization of debt discount for conversion rights for  various notes payable of $90,000.  Backing out these non cash expenses results in interest expense of $307,012.  Consequently, the adjusted operating income of $462,089 is sufficient to cover the adjusted interest expense of $307,012.

Operating income per the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 is $2,076,335, and interest expense is  $726,452.  Consequently, based on the unaudited pro forma financial information, the Company would have had sufficient cash from operations to cover interest expense as of March 31, 2004.  The pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared as if the Arcadia acquisition and the RKDA merger had been completed as of April 1, 2003 for the purpose of the statement of income and March 31, 2004 for balance sheet purposes. 

We believe that the Company is likely to continue generating cash from operations sufficient to pay interest expense.  In part, we expect this to occur through the elimination of duplicative overhead as we assimilate our acquired businesses, we well as through cost reductions where appropriate.  Since May 10, 2004, we have implemented substantial cost reductions to our Classic Healthcare Solutions, Inc. subsidiary by reducing its payroll and closing one location, resulting in annual savings of approximately $1 million to payroll and an additional $500,000 annually from the office closure.  These combined annual savings of approximately $1.5 million are sufficient to cover our estimated annual interest expense of $720,000, based on our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2004.

Management believes that cash from operations alone will not be sufficient to repay short term debt obligations, nor will cash from operations alone be sufficient to pursue management’s strategy of growth through acquisition.  Management anticipates that the sources of funds for the payment of short term debt obligations will be primarily from the equity market.  As of September 30, 2004, the Company’s long term debt position is $8,245,814, the current portion of which is $7,699,935.  During calendar years 2005 and 2006, the Company presently intends to raise a minimum of up to $20 million, preferably from the equity markets, to retire short term debt and to finance acquisitions.  In the short term, the Company anticipates raising approximately $8 million  in equity to satisfy short term debt obligations, with additional funds to be raised from the equity or debt markets to fund selected acquisitions.

Cash flows from financing activities during the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004 were $6,420,360 (i.e., proceeds from the original issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock).  These proceeds derive from the  minimum amount of the $8 million of a Regulation D Private Placement completed in May, 2004, of which the Company used $5 million of the net proceeds to complete the RKDA merger and the balance for working capital.  During the six month comparison period ended September 30, 2003, the Predecessor entity (i.e., Arcadia Services) did not have proceeds from the issuance of common stock, as it was a privately owned company. 

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 Company’s net proceeds from financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2004, the changes in the Company’s 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. 

On November 23, 2004, the revolving credit commitment amount on our Comerica Bank revolving credit facility was increased from $14.4 million to $16 million, and the overformula advance was designated at $1.2 million.  As of December 17, 2004, the total outstanding amount drawn on the credit facility (including the overformula advance) was approximately $14.9 million, of which approximately $13.7 million is classified as long term debt. Under the advance formula in effect as of December 17, 2004 and based on the amount of the Company's eligible accounts receivable as of that date, the Company is eligible to draw a total of approximately $15.7 million on the credit facility, less repayment of the overformula amount at the rate of $100,000 per month beginning in January, 2005.

The revolving credit commitment amount on the Comerica Bank credit facility has been increased twice since May 7, 2004.  Since that date, we completed three staffing business acquisitions, in addition to the RKDA reverse merger.  In the future, the Company may need to seek an increase in the amount the Company is permitted to draw on the revolving credit facility to finance working capital or staffing business acquisitions.  Management cannot presently quantify the likelihood of this occurring.  Factors that have bearing on whether we may require additional credit include our ability to assimilate our acquired businesses by reducing operating costs through economies of scale, our ability to increase revenues through internal growth based on our existing cost structure, and our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to service our debt level and operating costs.  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.

Arcadia’s March 31, 2004 and 2003 financial statements do not reflect any cash and cash equivalents due to the fact that for such fiscal years all cash and cash on hand at the end of each fiscal year was advanced to its sole stockholder to fund the operations of the stockholder and certain of its other subsidiaries. There was no formal written agreement between Arcadia and its sole stockholder, Addus HealthCare, Inc., a privately held company, relative to these loans.  Due to the nature of the advances and expected repayment, the advances to the stockholder were classified as contra equity on Arcadia’s financial statements. The amount due from the stockholder as of March 31, 2004 was $10.6 million compared with $7.6 million as of March 31, 2003.  The $3 million increase reflects Arcadia’s positive cash flow for the period ending March 31, 2004 consisting of $2.4 million of cash from operations, $1 million from financing activities and ($0.4) million from investment activities exclusive of the decrease resulting from the increase in the amount due from stockholder of $3 million.  As of May 7, 2004, when RKDA acquired Arcadia Services, no loan amounts were due to Arcadia Services from Addus HealthCare.  Since being acquired by RKDA, Arcadia Services has not loaned any funds to Addus HealthCare, nor have any loans been outstanding.

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The majority of our cash balances are held primarily in highly liquid commercial bank accounts. The Company utilizes lines of credit to fund operational cash needs. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio and our borrowings. We do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant effect on our results of operations or cash flows. All our revenues since inception have been in the U.S. and in U.S. Dollars therefore we have not yet adopted a strategy for this future currency rate exposure as it is not anticipated that foreign revenues are likely to occur in the near future.

OUR BUSINESSES

Overview

We are a national provider of staffing (medical and non-medical) and home care (skilled and personal care) services currently operating in 21 states through 56 affiliated and 13 company-owned offices. These businesses are conducted by our Arcadia Services, Inc. subsidiary (“Arcadia”). We acquired Arcadia on May 10, 2004. Before then, Arcadia was a privately owned corporation. Arcadia reported sales of approximately $78 million and approximately $76 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In terms of annual sales, the staffing and home care businesses conducted by Arcadia are currently our principal businesses.

In addition, our Arcadia Rx subsidiary is a full service mail order pharmacy based in Paducah, Kentucky, with annual revenues of approximately $2.5 million. We also acquired Arcadia Rx on May 10, 2004.

Before we acquired Arcadia and Arcadia Rx, our business was limited to selling and renting durable medical equipment, surgical supplies, orthotic and prosthetic products, oxygen and other respiratory therapy services and equipment, principally through four retail outlets in the New York metropolitan area.  These businesses are conducted through our Classic Healthcare Solutions, Inc. subsidiary.  Before the RKDA merger, we faced going concern issues, continuing losses and had annual sales of approximately $4 million. 

For the six months ended September 30, 2004, sales from our Classic Healthcare Solutions business were $1,022,573, compared to $0 for the six months ended September 30, 2003.  Sales for services for the six months ended September 30, 2004 were $38,110,485, compared to $37,763,822. for the six months ended September 30, 2003.  Net sales from services and our Classic Healthcare Solutions business, on a consolidated basis were $39,133,058 for the six months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $37,763,822 for the six months ended September 30, 2003.

We acquired Arcadia and Arcadia Rx through a reverse merger of our wholly owned subsidiary CHC Sub, Inc. with and into RKDA, Inc. (“RKDA”). This reverse merger was financed, in part, by private investment in public equity (i.e., the Company's Common Stock), a transaction commonly called a “PIPE.” See page _____ for a description of the accounting treatment of the reverse merger.

Classic Healthcare Solutions, Inc.

Our Classic Healthcare Solutions, Inc. subsidiary sells surgical supplies, orthotic and prosthetic products and home medical equipment, principally through three retail outlets in the New York metropolitan area. Classic derives substantially all of its revenues from third-party payors, including private insurers, managed care organizations, Medicare and Medicaid. Each third-party payor generally has specific claims requirements. Classic has policies and procedures in place to manage the claims submission process, including verification procedures to facilitate complete and accurate documentation, for all different sources of payment. Classic purchases our products from a variety of suppliers. Classic is not dependent upon any single supplier and believes that its equipment needs can be provided by several third-party manufacturers.

Home Respiratory Therapy.  Home respiratory therapy primarily consists of the provision of oxygen systems, ventilators, sleep apnea equipment, nebulizers, respiratory medications and related products and services to patients for operation in the home environment. Classic provides home respiratory therapy services to patients with a variety of conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD") (e.g., emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma), nervous system-related respiratory conditions, congestive heart failure and lung cancer. Classic employs respiratory care professionals to provide support to our home respiratory therapy patients, according to each patient’s physician-directed treatment plan.

Home Medical Equipment.  Classic sells patient safety items and ambulatory and patient room equipment. Classic’s integrated service approach allows patients and managed care systems accessing either respiratory or therapy services to also access needed home medical equipment through a single service source. Rather than directly providing certain non-core services, Classic has affiliated ourselves with other providers, such as home health nursing organizations, through formal relationships or ancillary networks. Home medical equipment and other services provided by Classic include hospital beds, wheelchairs, bathroom safety items, seat lift chairs, and three and four-wheel power scooters.

Orthotics and Prosthetics.  Orthotics and prosthetics involves the supply of braces and artificial limbs. These are commonly custom fabricated by others and fitted by a certified orthotist and/or prosthetist.

Arcadia Services, Inc.

Arcadia Services, Inc. is a national provider of staffing and home care services operating in 21 states through 56 affiliated and 13 company-owned offices. Arcadia reported sales of approximately $78 million and approximately $76 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Arcadia’s medical staffing includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, respiratory therapists, technicians and medical assistants. Its non-medical staffing includes light industrial, clerical and technical personnel. Arcadia’s home care staffing includes personal care aides, home care aides, homemakers and companions. Arcadia also offers physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and medical social workers.

Arcadia RX

Arcadia Rx is a full service mail order pharmacy based in Paducah, Kentucky, with annual revenues of approximately $2.5 million. Arcadia Rx offers a full line of services including pills and medications, multi-dose strip medication packages, respiratory supplies and medications, diabetic care management, drug interaction monitoring, and special assisted living medication packaging. Arcadia Rx ship medications and supplies directory to the customer’s place of residence. Arcadia Rx bills Medicare, some state Medicaid programs, and most private insurances.

Historical Development of the Company and Businesses Acquired

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on December 30, 1994 as Mojave Southern, Inc. Our Company operated as a blind pool until September 26, 2002, when it completed the reverse acquisition with Critical Home Care, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, and changed its name to Critical Home Care, Inc.

The Company Becomes Critical Home Care, Inc.

On July 12, 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the Common Stock of Classic Healthcare Solutions, Inc. ("Classic"). On August 8, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and business operations of Homecare Alliance, Inc. ("Alliance"). On September 13, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and business operations of All Care Medical Products, Inc. ("All Care").

On September 26, 2002, the Company consummated a reverse acquisition with New York Medical, Inc. (“NYMI”), pursuant to which NYMI changed its name to Critical Home Care, Inc. The results of operations of all of the acquired businesses described above have been included with those of the Company since the respective dates of acquisition. For accounting purposes, the transaction between NYMI and the Company was considered, in substance, a capital transaction rather than a business combination, because the former shareholders of the Company owned a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of NYMI. Accordingly, the combination of the Company with NYMI was recorded as a recapitalization of the Company, pursuant to which the Company has been treated as the continuing entity for accounting purposes.

As a result of the Classic, Alliance, All Care and NYMI acquisitions, the Company, prior to the RKDA Merger (described below), was principally engaged in the marketing, rental and sale of surgical supplies, orthotic and prosthetic products. The Company also provided oxygen and other respiratory therapy services and equipment and operated four retail outlets in the New York metropolitan area. Through its subsidiary, Classic Healthcare Solutions, Inc., located in Westbury, New York, the Company furnished durable medical equipment (e.g., wheelchairs, hospital beds, etc.). Before the RKDA Merger, the Company was a small business with annual revenues of approximately $4 million with continuing losses, cash flow problems and going concern issues.

Arcadia and Arcadia Rx Acquisitions

We acquired Arcadia and Arcadia Rx through a reverse merger financed, in part, by private investment in public equity (i.e., the Company's Common Stock) a transaction commonly called a “PIPE.” Before these acquisitions, Arcadia and Arcadia Rx were privately owned businesses. Arcadia is a national provider of staffing and home care services currently operating in 21 states through 56 affiliated and 13 company-owned offices. Arcadia reported sales of approximately $78 million and approximately $76 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Arcadia Rx is a full service mail order pharmacy based in Paducah, Kentucky with annual revenues of approximately $2.5 million.

Under the reverse merger, our wholly owned subsidiary CHC Sub, Inc. merged with and into RKDA, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("RKDA") owned by John E. Elliott, II ("Elliott") and Lawrence R. Kuhnert ("Kuhnert") (the "RKDA Merger"). The RKDA Merger was effective May 10, 2004. RKDA survived the merger. A description of the accounting treatment of the RKDA Merger is provided on page 4.

RKDA purchased all of Arcadia’s capital stock on May 7, 2004 from a privately owned company. The purchase price was $16.8 million, payable as follows: $16.1 million in cash, a $500,000 promissory note payable one year after closing, and $200,000 accrued in accounts payable. In addition, RKDA paid $557,109 of bonuses to certain Arcadia employees. RKDA paid the purchase price and bonus payments with a $5 million loan from the Company, a revolving bank loan initially for $11 million, a $100,000 cash deposit, the delivery of an unsecured, subordinated $500,000 promissory note to the seller, and $200,000 accrued in accounts payable.

The Company raised the $5 million it loaned RKDA as part of a Regulation D (Rule 506) Private Placement Offering—i.e., the PIPE. The Regulation D Private Placement Offering is described below.

Pursuant to the RKDA Merger, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert transferred to RKDA their membership interests in SSAC, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, doing business as “Arcadia Rx.” They additionally transferred all of their RKDA capital stock to the Company. 

Immediately prior to the RKDA Merger and as reflected on the financial statements of the Old Critical, David Bensol, then the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, surrendered to the Company 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by him, which was a condition to RKDA’s obligation to close on the merger.  These shares of Common Stock were then cancelled.  In connection with the merger and as an inducement to RKDA to close on the merger, Mr. Bensol settled three claims assertable against the Company by (a) transferring 250,000 shares of Common Stock to Global Asset Management, LLC, in connection with the termination of a Consulting Agreement with Vertical Capital Partners, LLC, an affiliate of Global Asset Management, LLC; (b) transferring 350,000 shares of Common Stock to Luigi Piccione in connection with an amendment to a Consulting Agreement between Piccione and the Company and a release by Piccione of all claims against Bensol and the Company; and (c) transferring 200,000 shares to Cleveland Overseas Ltd., along with certain other shareholders of the Company in connection with settlement of certain Promissory Note dated February 28, 2003 in the principal amount of $150,000 payable to Cleveland Overseas Ltd.

On May 10, 2004, the Company issued Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert 21,300,000 shares of its Common Stock and 1,000,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share within seven years. As a result, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert were deemed to be the beneficial owners of 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of May 10, 2004, there were 76,393,351 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding. The 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock of which Messrs. Elliot and Kuhnert were deemed to be the beneficial owners represented 29.19% of 77,393,351 shares of our Common Stock (i.e., 76,393,351 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 10, 2004 and  1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants).

As of December 17, 2004, 80,593,760 shares of Common Stock are outstanding. The 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock of which Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert are deemed to be the beneficial owners represent 27.67% of 81,593,760 shares of our Common Stock (i.e., 80,593,760 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 17, 2004 and 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants).

Change in Control of the Board of Directors

Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert obtained control of the Company’s Board of Directors effective with the closing of the RKDA Merger. Effective May 10, 2004, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert were elected to the Board to fill two vacancies. Under the terms of the RKDA Merger, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert had the right to elect one additional director to the Board. John T. Thornton was elected to the Board effective June 15, 2004.

Before the RKDA Merger, former director Delbert Spurlock, who wished to pursue other business interests, chose not to run for election at the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on May 4, 2004, and no one ran for or was elected to this director position at that time. Per the terms of the RKDA Merger, former directors Barbara Levine and Bradley Smith resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors upon completion of the RKDA Merger. Mr. Spurlock’s declination to run for election and the resignations of former directors Barbara Levine and Bradley Smith left open three of the five seats on the Company’s Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the RKDA Merger, Mr. Elliott became the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Kuhnert became the Company's President, Treasurer, and Chief Operating Officer. The Board subsequently appointed Mr. Kuhnert as the Company's Vice Chairman of Finance, which is the Company's principal financial and accounting officer. Mr. Bensol, the Company's Chief Executive Officer before the RKDA Merger, became the Company's Executive Vice President and retained his position as a director. Neither Mr. Elliott nor Mr. Kuhnert had any material relationship with the Company before the RKDA Merger.  Mr. Bensol resigned as a director, officer and employee effective December 23, 2004.

On May 7, 2004, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert, Mr. Bensol, Bradley Smith, North Sound Legacy Fund LLC, North Sound Legacy Institutional Fund LLC, North Sound Legacy International Ltd., Jana Master Fund Ltd. and Web Financial Corporation Company entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”). The Voting Agreement provides Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert the right to control the vote of a sufficient number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in addition to their own shares, to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Voting Agreement is effective until the earlier of (a) the date on which the combined Common Stock ownership of the Company held by Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert is reduced to less than 10%, (b) the date on which neither Messrs. Elliott nor Kuhnert are executive officers of the Company, or (c) the expiration of the maximum period permitted by law.

The Voting Agreement assures Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert that during its term, a majority of our Board of Directors will consist of individuals nominated by them.  At each regular or special meeting of our shareholders during the term of the Voting Agreement at which the election of directors takes place, the shareholders who are parties to the Voting Agreement are required to vote all, or a sufficient percentage of the voting securities owned by them, whether beneficially or of record, for all or some of the director nominees nominated by Messrs. Elliott  and  Kuhnert so that at all times  during the term of  the Voting Agreement, a majority of Our Board of Directors consists of  individuals  nominated by Messrs. Elliott and  Kuhnert.

Escrow of Critical Home Care Common Stock

John E. Elliott, II, Lawrence Kuhnert and David Bensol escrowed 6 million, 4 million and 2 million shares of, respectively, of Company Common Stock (collectively, the “Escrow Shares”). Fifty (50%) percent of the Escrow Shares will be released from escrow following the end of each of the referenced fiscal years if RKDA, in the case of Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert, and the Company, in the case of Mr. Bensol, meets the following milestones: for the 12 month period ending March 31, 2006, an Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) of $9.7 million and for the 12 month period ending March 31, 2007, an Adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million. Alternatively, the Escrow Shares shall be released if RKDA, in the case of Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert, and the Company, in the case of Mr. Bensol, obtains a combined Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 of at least $22.2 million.

In addition, for any of the Escrow Shares to be released pursuant to the foregoing thresholds, the Company’s Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, in the case of Mr. Bensol, and RKDA’s Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, in the case of Messrs. Kuhnert and Elliott, must be 2.0 or less for both fiscal periods. Nevertheless, twenty (20%) percent of the Escrow Shares (2.4 million shares) will be released if the Company’s Common Stock remains at least $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days or the average closing price for any consecutive 45 day period is at least $1.00 per share, even if the EBITDA thresholds are not met.

In the event the conditions for release of the Escrow Shares are satisfied, the fair value of the shares will be recorded as a charge to the Company’s income statement. In the event the conditions for release of the Escrow Shares are not satisfied, the shares shall be transferred to the Company. While the Escrow Shares are held in escrow, Messrs. Elliott, Kuhnert and Bensol are entitled to receive immediately (and not paid into escrow) any dividends payable with respect to the Escrowed Shares and have the right to vote the Escrow Shares on all matters as if the Escrowed Shares were not held in escrow.  The Escrowed Shares are not affected by termination of employment.  As of December 17, 2004, no shares Escrowed Shares have been released from escrow.

As of May 10, 2004, the effective date of the Merger, there were 76,393,351 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding of which Elliott and Kuhnert owned 21.3 million shares, or 27.9%.

Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert each entered into substantially similar employment agreements with the Company on May 7, 2004, as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively. Each agreement is for a term of three years, automatically renewable for successive one-year periods unless terminated on three months’ prior written notice. Each officer is being paid $150,000 per annum in salary and is eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus determined by the Board of Directors.  Mr. Bensol resigned as a director, officer and an employee effective December 23, 2004.

If employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause (as defined) or by the executive for good reason (as defined), then the executive will be paid twice the base salary in a lump sum.

Each executive agreed not to compete with the Company within North America for the one-year-period following termination of his employment.

The PIPE: Regulation D Private Placement Offering

On May 7, 2004, the Company completed the minimum $8 million, of a maximum $11 million, Regulation D (Rule 506) Private Placement Offering of the shares of its Common Stock (the “Offering”). The Company subsequently sold an additional $245,000 of its shares of Common Stock and terminated the Offering on May 27, 2004 (the “Final Closing Date”).

Under the terms of the Offering, each eligible investor whose subscription was accepted by the Company was permitted to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.25 per share. For every ten shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering, the holder received one Class A Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at any time within seven years from the date of issuance at $0.50 per share. Class A Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. Each Class A Warrant expires at the end of the seven-year period.

Through the Final Closing Date of the Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 32,980,000 shares of its Common Stock at $0.25 per share and issued 3,298,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 3,298,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company advanced $5 million of the net proceeds of the Offering to RKDA to complete the Arcadia acquisition, used $164,000 for the repayment of indebtedness, and held the balance for working capital.

The Offering’s placement agent and its key employees received 2,298,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 2,298,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable on a cashless basis for seven years at $0.50 per share.

The Company is required to file the registration statement within 90 days following the Final Closing Date of the Offering. The Final Closing Date of the Offering was May 27, 2004. The Offering’s placement agent and its key employees, as well as other selling security holders who did not acquire their shares through the Offering, have similar registration rights or “piggy back” registration rights requiring their shares to be registered when the Company undertakes a registration of its shares.

The Company agreed to register Messrs. Elliott’s and Kuhnert’s 21,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of their Class A Warrants, with the shares and warrants purchased by the investors of the Regulation D Private Placement Offering.

Comerica Bank Credit Agreement

On May 7, 2004, Arcadia and three wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with Comerica Bank. The credit agreement provides the borrowers with a revolving credit facility of up to $12 million through May 7, 2006. The initial advance on May 7, 2004 was in the amount of $11 million, which was immediately distributed to RKDA to fund a portion of the purchase price of the capital stock of Arcadia by RKDA. All other advances under the credit facility shall be used primarily for working capital or acquisition purposes. On July 29, 2004, the credit commitment amount was increased to $14.4 million.  The credit commitment amount was increased to $16 million on November 23, 2004.  The credit agreement requires Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert to maintain ownership of at least twenty (25%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.  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 or $2 million, plus an overformula advance of $1.2 million.  The overformula advance is payable at the rate of $100,000 per month for 12 consecutive months, beginning January, 2005.

Arcadia granted Comerica Bank a first priority security interest in all of its assets. The Arcadia subsidiaries granted the bank security interests in all of their assets. Arcadia’s former shareholder subordinated indebtedness owed by Arcadia to indebtedness Arcadia owes to Comerica Bank. RKDA and its former owners, Messrs.

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 agreed to various financial covenant ratios, to have any person who acquires Arcadia’s capital stock to pledge such stock to Comerica Bank, and, along with Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert, to customary negative covenants.

Change of the Company’s Principal Executive Offices and Fiscal Year End

Effective June 22, 2004, the Company changed its principal executive offices from Westbury, New York to 26777 Central Park Boulevard, Suite 200, Southfield, Michigan, 48076.

On June 22, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors changed Critical’s fiscal year end to March 31, effective as of March 31, 2004. Previously, Critical maintained a fiscal year ending on September 30 and fiscal quarters ending on December 31, March 31, and June 30. Arcadia’s fiscal year end was changed from December 31 to March 31.

With the Company’s fiscal year ending on March 31, the Company’s fiscal quarters will end on June 30, September 30, and December 31.

The Company filed an annual report on Form 10-KSB for the transition period from October 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004. The Company  filed Form 10-KSB, rather than Form 10-K, because the transition period of October 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004 preceded the RKDA Merger. For this reason, the Company’s financial information to be included in Form 10-KSB omitted the consolidated operations of RDKA (including those of Arcadia and Arcadia Rx).

Recent Acquisitions

Acquisitions during the six months ended September 30, 2004 are summarized in the Prospectus Summary.

Revenues attributable to the U.S. and Foreign Countries

None of our revenues are generated by sales to customers outside of the United States.

Competition

Competition for the medical staffing, non-medical staffing and home care industries is based upon the quality of the employee, the availability of the employee, the cost of the employee and the geography. Staffing and home care industries include national, international, regional and local firms that compete with each other to attract employees and to obtain and maintain customers. A local presence is essential to establish the name/brand recognition as a provider of qualified staff and home care aides that must meet specific job requirements, while suppliers of longer term employees must have the reputation and reach to meet the needs of customers across the country.

The segment of the healthcare market in which our durable medical equipment and related businesses operate is fragmented and highly competitive. There are a limited number of national providers and numerous regional and local providers operating in each of our product and service line markets. Classic’s major operating market is the metropolitan New York City area, where important competitive factors include reputation with referral sources, access and responsiveness, price of services, overall ease of doing business, quality of care and service.

Government Regulation

Our health care related businesses (e.g., durable medical equipment, pharmacy, oxygen, home health care, orthotics and prosthetics, etc.) are subject to extensive government regulation, including numerous laws directed at preventing fraud and abuse and laws regulating reimbursement under various governmental programs. The federal government and all states in which we currently operate and intend to operate regulate various aspects of our health care related businesses. In particular, our operating branches are subject to federal laws covering the repackaging of drugs (including oxygen) and regulating interstate motor-carrier transportation. Our locations also will be subject to state laws governing, among other things, pharmacies, nursing services, distribution of medical equipment and certain types of home healthcare activities. Certain of our employees are subject to state laws and regulations governing the ethics and professional practice of respiratory therapy and nursing and in the future, pharmacy.

As a healthcare supplier, we are subject to extensive government regulation, including numerous laws directed at preventing fraud and abuse and laws regulating reimbursement under various government programs. The marketing, billing, documentation and other practices of health care companies are all subject to government scrutiny. To ensure compliance with Medicare and other regulations, regional carriers often conduct audits and request patient records and other documents to support claims submitted by our company for payment of services rendered to patients. Similarly, government agencies periodically open investigations and obtain information from health care providers pursuant to the legal process. Violations of federal and state regulations can result in severe criminal, civil and administrative penalties and sanctions, including disqualification from Medicare and other reimbursement programs.

Table of Contents

Healthcare is an area of rapid regulatory change. Changes in law and regulations, as well as new interpretations of existing laws and regulations may affect permissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business, and reimbursement amounts paid by federal, state and other third party payors. We can not predict the future of federal, state and local regulation or legislation, including Medicare and Medicaid statutes and regulations, or possible changes in national health care policies, each of which could have a material adverse impact on our company.

Material laws and regulations that affect our operations include, but are not necessarily limited to, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement laws; laws permitting Medicare, Medicaid and other payors to audit claims and seek repayment when claims have been over paid; laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act regulating the privacy of individually identifiable health information; laws prohibiting kickbacks and the exchange of remuneration as an inducement for the provision of reimbursable services or products; laws regulating physician self-referral relationships; and laws prohibiting the submission of false claims.

Employees

As of September 30, 2004, we had over approximately 8,500 employees, the vast majority of which were part time temporary field employees of Arcadia. We have no unionized employees, and do not have any collective bargaining agreements. We believe our relationship with our employees is good.

Properties

We do not own any real estate or improvements. Our corporate offices are located in 26777 Central Park Boulevard, Southfield, Michigan in approximately 12,500 square feet of leased space. The Company also occupies leased office space located at the following additional locations:

Description of Staffing and Home Care Industries

Staffing Industry

A staffing firm recruits, trains and tests their employees before assigning them to clients in a wide range of job categories and skill levels. Staffing firms place positions ranging from production and clerical workers to managers and professionals. According to staffing industry data, the estimated revenue for the entire staffing industry in 2003 totaled approximately $95 billion, down from $107 billion in 2000.1 Industry data projects total estimated staffing industry revenues of approximately $102 billion in 2004 and nearly $111 billion in 2005, which are estimated annual growth rates of 7.7% from 2003 to 2004 and 8.8% from 2004 to 2005. 2

The staffing industry consists of four segments: temporary staffing, placement and search firms, professional employment organizations, and outplacement firms. Firms within the temporary staffing segment provide businesses with needed flexibility and efficiency, while at the same time providing jobs to millions of Americans. Temporary staffing firms support and/or supplement the client’s workforce in situations such as employee absences, temporary skill shortages, seasonal workload and special assignments and projects. Temporary work can be sporadic and intermittent, rather than ongoing, and is not governed by a regular or fixed schedule.

Revenues within the temporary staffing industry were estimated at approximately $85 billion in 2000, compared to an estimated $76 billion in 2003. Industry data projects total estimated temporary staffing industry revenues of approximately $81.6 billion in 2004 and nearly $88.4 billion in 2005, which are estimated annual growth rates of 7.3% from 2003 to 2004 and 8.4% from 2004 to 2005.4

Healthcare Staffing

Revenues for the healthcare staffing industry, which is part of the temporary staffing industry, are projected to grow to an estimated $11.1 billion 2005, according to industry data. 5  This compares to an industry estimate of $7.2 billion in revenues in 2000. 6  Per diem staffing, the dominant sector within the healthcare staffing industry, consists of staffing on a day-to-day basis in a local environment. It is necessary for staffing agencies to have a local presence in the market due to the short notice given for staffing requirements. Per diem employees are generally needed to replace full time employees on vacation, sick days and the like, in addition to providing additional back up when needed due to fluctuations with patients. Management is typically decentralized and has low barriers to entry.

Travel staffing, the minor sector within the healthcare staffing industry, requires a much longer stay on location. The timing can vary on these assignments, but are typically 13 weeks long. The staffing firm is typically responsible for providing arrangements for travel, housing, licensing and credentialing. Management for the travel staffing sector is typically more centralized then per diem staffing, and travel staffing has higher barriers to entry due to the necessity for national or regional coverage.

The United States is expected to continue to experience a shortage of registered nurses, although nursing school enrollments reportedly increased by 26.2% from 2001 to 2003, following an enrollment decline from 1995 to 2000.7 According to medical industry estimates, the United States is projected to experience a 20% shortage in the number of nurses needed in the nation’s health care system by the year 2020, equating into a shortage of more than 400,000 registered nurses nationwide.8

While the supply of registered nurses is projected to fall, demand for health care services is expected to increase. This is due to factors including an aging population. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the percentage of U.S. population over age 65 has increased by 12.0% between 1990 and 2000, and is expected to climb.9  According to the Centers for Disease Control, life expectancy in the United States increased from 68.2 years in 1950 to 77.2 in 2001.10  Advances in medical technology, drug development and an increase in life expectancy are all factors that underlie the anticipated increase in demand.

Non-Medical Staffing

Industry data estimates non-medical temporary staffing revenues at $65.6 billion in 2003, compared to $77.6 in 2000.11  Non-medical temporary staffing revenues are projected by industry data to grow to $77.3 billion in 2005.12  The non-medical temporary staffing industry serves companies which use temporary employees to control personnel costs and meet fluctuating personnel needs. Historically, the demand for temporary workers has been driven primarily by the need to satisfy peak production requirements and to temporarily replace full time employees absent due to illness, vacation or abrupt termination. More recently, competitive pressures have forced businesses to focus on reducing costs, including converting fixed, permanent labor costs to variable or flexible costs. The use of temporary workers typically shifts employment costs and risks, such as workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance and the possible adverse affects of changing employment regulations, to temporary staffing companies, which can better manage those costs and risks.

Home Care Industry

Home care furnishes services to individuals in their place of residence. Services range from skilled care furnished by registered nurses and other health professionals to recovering or chronically ill persons, to personal care and support services, such as bathing and feeding, provided by unskilled personal care attendants, homemakers, companions and home care aides. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, projected home health spending (both public and private spending) is expected to rise from $31.7 billion in 2000 to $60.3 billion in 2010.13

The home care industry is fragmented and consists of small, local, regional and national providers. According to an industry report, consolidation activity in the home care industry has increased and is expected to continue to increase due to both the projected increased demand for skilled employees and the projected staffing shortage, especially in nursing, as well as to obtain the necessary infrastructure to comply with new health care regulations.

Further, health care spending is becoming increasingly important due to the aging American population, particularly the “baby boom” generation. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 12.4%, or 35 million, Americans are over the age 65.14  By the year 2030, the number of Americans over the age of 65 will increase to as many 79.3 million, or 19.6%, of the total American population. 15  This increase in population, together with the significant advances in medical technology, is expected to drive an increase in health care spending. Accordingly, health care expenditures are expected to nearly double from approximately $1.7 trillion to $3.4 trillion from 2003 to 2013.16

The rise of the American age is projected to increase demand for home care services. The U.S. General Accounting Office estimates that the demand for home care aides will increase 58% over the period from 1998 to 2008 (from 746,000 in 1998 to 1.2 million in 2008).17

Competitive Environment

Competition for the medical staffing, non-medical staffing and home care industries is based upon the quality of the employee, the availability of the employee, the cost of the employee and the geography. Staffing and home care industries include national, international, regional and local firms that compete with each other to attract employees and to obtain and maintain customers.

Arcadia History

Arcadia was incorporated in Michigan in 1977 under the name Medco, Inc. Medco, Inc. was established to provide non-medical staffing services in the metropolitan Detroit area. That same year, Medco, Inc. formed a subsidiary, Medco Health Services, Inc., providing medical staffing services to health care facilities. In 1982, Medco, Inc. incorporated Grayrose, Inc.

Another subsidiary of Medco, Inc., Community Home Care, Inc., was formed to provide home care services to individuals in their place of residence. In 1981, Community Home Care obtained certification as a Medicare home health provider. This allowed Community Home Care to expand home care services to Medicare beneficiaries, along with commercial insurance and private payors.

In 1986, Arcadia began its affiliate operations. Similar to today, affiliates were local entrepreneurs who had industry knowledge but lacked financial resources and could benefit from back office support. See Affiliate Model, below.

In 1994, Medco Inc. changed its name to Arcadia Services, Inc. Medco Health Services, Inc. changed its name to Arcadia Health Services, Inc. and focused on medical staffing and non-Medicare home care. Community Home Care, Inc. changed its name to Arcadia Health Care, Inc. and focused almost exclusively on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursed services. In 1995, Arcadia Services, Inc. formed Arcadia Health Services of Michigan, Inc., to accommodate business tax issues in Michigan.

In 1997, Integrated Health Services ("IHS") purchased Arcadia Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries. In 1999, IHS sold Arcadia (excluding the Arcadia Health Care, Inc. Medicare certified home health division) to Addus HealthCare, Inc. On May 7, 2004, RKDA, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Arcadia Services, Inc. from Addus HealthCare, Inc.

Arcadia Staffing and Home Care Services

Arcadia and its subsidiaries provide temporary staffing (medical and non-medical) and home care services in 21 states through 56 affiliate and 13 company owned offices.

Medical Staffing

Arcadia’s medical staffing division provides the services of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, respiratory therapists, technicians and medical assistants. The medical staffing division supplies skilled and non-skilled medical personnel to hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation facilities, correctional facilities, urgent care facilities and laboratories, among others. Per diem staffing assignments are made on a day-to-day basis in a local environment when needed to replace full time employees on vacation, sick days, leave and the like. Due to the short notice given for staffing requirements, it is necessary for staffing agencies to have a local presence in the market.

In August, 2004, Arcadia launched a new travel staffing program providing hospitals and other customers with a complete selection of possible full-time employees. The timing can vary on these assignments, but are typically 13 weeks long. Arcadia is usually responsible for providing arrangements for travel, housing, licensing and credentialing. Arcadia’s traveling program includes individual affiliates offering temporary field staff opportunities to travel to other regions of the United States, where the staffing need is not near an Arcadia office.

Non-Medical Staffing

Arcadia’s non-medical temporary staffing division, Arcadia Staff Resources, provides light industrial, technical and office clerical staffing services through seven Arcadia-owned locations in southeastern Michigan. Light industrial assignments are primarily for assemblers, packagers, packers, material handlers, shipping/receiving clerks, stock clerks, and forklift operators. Other assignments include janitorial/maintenance, production supervisors, electricians and pipe fitters/welders. Clerical assignments include word processors, secretaries, receptionists, data entry clerks, accounts payable/accounts receivable clerks, payroll clerks, and bookkeepers. Technical services are focused on information services network administrators, programmers, help desk and engineers. The division’s customer base consists of mostly small to mid-sized businesses utilizing light industrial employees for assembly, packaging, machine operating, stock clerks and shipping/receiving clerks. Additional services typically provided include data entry operators, receptionists and administrative assistants. Most of the positions are either long-term or on a temporary hire basis.

Home Care Services

Arcadia provides home care services through its Arcadia Health Care division. Home care has become increasingly popular. Home care permits individuals to function in their places of residence. Arcadia provides home care services to individuals, including medication administration, treatments, teaching, evaluation, assessment, bathing, dressing, walking, exercising, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housework, laundry, transportation, companionship, conversation and shopping.

Skilled home care services involve the delivery of skilled health services to recovering or chronically ill persons in the home. Skilled home care services are provided by registered nurses, licensed practical/vocational nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and speech therapists. These skilled professionals provide care to individuals who have a wide range of diagnoses such as cancer, AIDS, diabetes, congestive heart failure and trauma related injuries. Skilled home service care can involve medication administration, treatments, wound care, teaching assessment and evaluation.

Personal care and support services are provided by personal care attendants, homemakers, companions and home care aides. These disciplines are traditionally considered to be unskilled. They provide support services such as bathing, feeding, cooking, cleaning, companionship, shopping, ambulation, medication reminders and conversation. This service allows frail and elderly individuals to remain in their place of residence as opposed to being institutionalized. Additionally, Arcadia’s personal care and support personnel provide a much needed service to the “baby boomers” who are currently managing the care and feeding of their children and parents.

Growth Strategy

Arcadia expects to pursue various growth strategies.

Derive Greater Penetration Within Current Markets

Arcadia currently operates 69 locations in 21 states. Arcadia intends to continue working with its affiliate network on marketing programs, cross selling opportunities and education on best practices to increase the overall penetration within existing markets.

Continue Expanding Number of Locations

Arcadia intends to expand its locations through supporting its affiliate network in the opening of new office locations. As of July 31, 2004, Arcadia established four new office locations during 2004.

Expand Service Offerings

Arcadia expects to introduce new service offerings at various locations. Examples of recent new service offerings are the traveling nurse program and the offering of skilled trade services (e.g., electricians, welders, plumbers, etc.) to industrial customers.

Complete Selective Acquisitions

Arcadia intends to pursue selective business acquisitions. Arcadia believes that selective acquisitions will increase the size of the business and revenue base and leverage Arcadia’s selling, general and administrative expenses.

One such acquisition occurred on July 30, 2004, when Arcadia Health Services, Inc. purchased substantially all of the assets of The Staffing Source, Inc. of St. Petersburg, Florida. The Staffing Source, Inc., with offices in Bradenton, Clearwater and St. Petersburg, provides temporary personnel for healthcare facilities and other businesses. It reported 2003 sales of $3.3 million. Arcadia plans to retain The Staffing Source name, which will provide Arcadia with two brands in the Tampa Bay area. Arcadia currently operates through affiliates in nine Florida cities, including Bradenton, Clearwater and St. Petersburg.

Affiliate Model

The responsibilities of Arcadia’s affiliates include the recruitment and training of field staff employed by Arcadia, sales to Arcadia’s customers, hiring and paying affiliate office staff at the affiliate’s expense, maintaining and paying for affiliate office equipment and office space at the affiliate’s expense, and providing data to Arcadia for payroll and billing. Each affiliate has defined geographic area.  Arcadia’s affiliates are owner-operated businesses.  As of December 17, 2004, Arcadia has 27 affiliates.  The office locations maintained by our affiliates are listed on our Company’s website.  Arcadia and each affiliate enters into an independent contractor agreement which defines the respective obligations of each party. 

Arcadia has centralized payroll and billing. Services provided by Arcadia to affiliates include contracting; accounting training; field services, such as quality assurance, regulatory, program development, policy and procedure manuals; administrative services, such as secretarial support, mass mailings and group purchasing; software and hardware support; educational seminars; human resources and legal support. Arcadia also makes available customized software, recruitment support, group purchasing, business planning, new program development, and support in the areas of legal, human resources and information systems.

The affiliate model benefits Arcadia’s customers, Arcadia’s affiliates and Arcadia itself. Benefits to Arcadia’s customers include the affiliate network which allows Arcadia to service the needs of customers whose requirements span multiple service locations with a consistent level of service and standardized procedures. Benefits to the affiliate include control of its local office, access to Arcadia resources and back office support (e.g., payroll, etc.). Benefits to Arcadia include spreading overhead over the affiliate network, leveraging the existing network, and the potential for opportunities to enter into new markets.

Arcadia compensates its affiliates on a commission basis. Although an affiliate may terminate its relationship with Arcadia on thirty (30) days prior written notice, Arcadia maintains control over its national network by employing field service personnel, maintaining ownership of contracts for services with customers and accounts receivable balances, and by non-compete agreements.

Customers, Sales and Marketing

None of Arcadia’s top ten customers, ranked by revenue as of fiscal year end March 31, 2004, accounted for more than three percent (3%) of Arcadia’s revenues. Arcadia does not have a customer with a large concentration of revenue, nor do Arcadia’s top ten customers comprise a significant portion of Arcadia’s total revenue. Accordingly, Arcadia has a diversified revenue base.

The sales process is generally the same for all of Arcadia’s offices, however, there are slight differences among the home health and staffing sales methods. The staffing sales approach is much more dependent on the initial sales and marketing process than the home care division. Although home care does require marketing, the long-term support of the client is necessary to maintain the business.

Staffing companies rely on leads found by current customers, contacts, Yellow Pages, the Internet, newspapers and other sources. After the initial contact is made, an individual qualifies the lead to confirm it has the specific needs for temporary staffing. Generally, individual meetings are encouraged to ensure a personal sales approach. Next, the individual develops the business by demonstrating the benefits Arcadia provides, which are customized to fit the needs of each company. There is a greater emphasis on the initial sales process in staffing, whereas home care companies must constantly verify customer satisfaction.

The sales process for home care begins by receiving referrals, advertising on an established website, and/or placing ads in the Yellow Pages in the “home nursing” section. Once a call is received, a trained individual screens the call to differentiate between the need for skilled services and personal care/support services (unskilled services). This individual also provides the appropriate information regarding pricing, geographic service and available staff. An additional visit is arranged next to understand the service need. Generally the “start of care” date follows the initial visit, and the response time to initiate service is typically within the first 24 to 48 hours of the initial visit. As service continues, an individual from the office maintains contact to determine the level of customer satisfaction, specifically inquiring about the fulfillment of services and approval of the caregiver. The staff verifies satisfaction throughout the process until the patient is discharged.

Operations

Office Locations

As of September 30, 2004, Arcadia has 56 affiliate and 13 company owned office locations in 21 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

Office Space Leased by Arcadia

Arcadia leases office space in various locations. See Properties at page 46.

Arcadia Field Employees

Arcadia’s field employees (i.e., the individuals placed with Arcadia’s customers) are temporary employees, with no hours of work or continued employment guaranteed by Arcadia. This is standard in the staffing and home care industries. Arcadia maintains quality by screening field employees. Every Arcadia field employee must meet specified standards, including a pre-employment screening covering testing and screening to evaluate skill sets necessary to perform duties required; review of each applicant’s work history, education and skills; reference checks on prior employment history; a minimum of one year of experience in their specific area; credential verification; criminal background checks and drug screening, as appropriate; and compliance with Arcadia’s code of ethics and professional standards.

Arcadia provides a comprehensive benefits package to its administrative employees. The Company offers medical and dental coverage, vacation and sick time, long-term disability insurance and a 401(k) plan. Employer participation in the 401(k) plan is discretionary.

Field employees are in non-benefited positions. However, field employees are eligible for 401(k) plan participation. In addition, field employees in some markets who work at least 30 hours per week and have worked for Arcadia either 30 or 60 days are offered the opportunity to purchase health insurance. Only medical coverage is then offered. The cost of this medical coverage is shared among the field employee, the affiliate and Arcadia. Furthermore, affiliates have the option to offer paid time off, which is determined by the number of hours the field employee works.

Subsidiaries

Arcadia’s subsidiaries are Arcadia Health Services, Inc.; Arcadia Staff Resources, Inc.; Grayrose, Inc.; ASR Staffing, Inc.; Arcadia Health Services of Michigan, Inc.; and Arcadia Home Oxygen & Medical Equipment, Inc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the table listed below 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 below, 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 stockholder named below.

We may require the selling security holders to suspend the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in those documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

Selling Security Holders

The preceding tables identify the selling security holders holding shares of our Common Stock and Class A Warrants.  We are registering our shares of Common Stock and Class A Warrants in order to permit the selling security holders to offer these shares and Class A Warrants for resale from time to time. 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 and Class A Warrants that will be held by the selling security holders following the offering is unknown, except that for purposes of the tables set forth below, we assume that each selling stockholder will sell all shares of Common Stock and Class A Warrants offered by each selling stockholder, except as indicated otherwise.  As of December 17, 2004, there were 80,593,760 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Sandgrain Securities, Inc. is the only selling security holder which is a broker-dealer registered with the Commission.

Determination of Offering Price

The Company’s Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”).  The offering price of $1.075 per share is based on the last reported last reported bid and ask prices price of our Common Stock on December 17, 2004 and does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earning per share. Additionally, because we have a limited operating history as a public company, the price of the Common Stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of the Common Stock indicative of the current market value of the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion. Our Common Stock presently is not traded or listed on any market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing or trading on any public market or securities exchange.

There is no established market for our Class A Warrants. The Company’s Class A Warrants are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, nor are they listed on any exchange. We do not expect the Class A Warrants to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or listed on any exchange. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to trade, dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our Class A Warrants.

Unregistered Securities Transactions

Each of the following issuances of shares of Common Stock, Class A Warrants, other warrants and stock options were issued in private placement transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D because the transactions did not involve any public offering. Except as otherwise specifically indicated below, there were no underwriters involved in these transaction and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid.

The 2004 Private Placement also included 3,298,000 seven year Class A Warrants to purchase 3,298,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. In connection with this offering, the Company agreed to register the shares of Common Stock issued in the 2004 Private Placement and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise the Class A Warrants within ninety (90) days of the of the final closing date of the offering.

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 UpIn 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 stockholders 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 stockholders are subject to the rights of the stockholders 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 N.R.S. §78.411 et seq. of the Nevada Business Corporation Law regarding business combinations with interested stockholders. See Nevada Business Corporation Laws, below.

Transfer Agent and Registrar. The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is National City Bank, 629 Euclid Avenue, Suite 635, Cleveland, Ohio 44114 (216 222-2537).

Preemptive Rights

At the Company Annual meeting of Shareholders held on May 4, 2004, the Company’s stockholders voted to amend our Articles of Incorporation to make it clear that the Company’s stockholders 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 stockholders, 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 stockholders. The Company believes it was in its best interest to adopt an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to make it clear that the Company’s stockholders do not have any preemptive rights arising pursuant to Sections 78.265 and 78.267 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

In connection with the RKDA Merger, Messrs. Elliott and 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 Regulation D (Rule 506) Private Placement Offering described below.  On May 10, 2004, the Company issued Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert 21,300,000 shares of its Common Stock and 1,000,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share within seven years. As a result, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert were deemed to be the beneficial owners of 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  As of December 17, 2004, 80,593,760 shares of Common Stock are outstanding. The 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock of which Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert are deemed to be the beneficial owners represent 27.67% of 81,593,760 shares of our Common Stock (i.e., 80,593,760 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 17, 2004 and 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants).

Options and Warrants

As of December 17, 2004, options to purchase 9,378,100 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding. The 72,103,381 shares of Common Stock offered by the security holders under the prospectus include 500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options by Stephen Garchick, Trustee and 37,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options by the Stanley Scholsohn Family Partnership.

On February 3, 2004, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $500,000 with Stephen Garchick, Trustee (“Garchick”) and simultaneously executed a related stock option agreement and a registration rights agreement in favor of Garchick. The stock option agreement provides Garchick with options to acquire, over ten years, 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.25 per share.

Table of Contents

On February 22, 2004, the Company granted the Stanley Scholsohn Family Partnership options to acquire 37,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company at the lesser of $1.00 or amount equal to the conversion price of any new convertible debt issued by the Company within 12 months of February 22, 2004. The options expire on February 21, 2008.

In connection with the RKDA Merger, John Elliott, II and Lawrence Kuhnert were each granted stock options to purchase 4 million shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.25 per share. The options shall vest in six tranches provided certain adjusted EBITDA milestones are met through fiscal 2008, subject to acceleration upon certain events occurring. The options may be executed by Messrs. Elliot and Kuhnert, to the extent vested, as long as they are employed by the Company and for one year from termination if they are terminated for any reason.

All other options to purchase shares of our Common Stock, granted to date, have been issued to directors and employees of the Company and are exercisable at specified prices, subject to specified vesting periods and expiration dates.

A total of 10,531,000 warrants to purchase 10,531,000 shares of our Common Stock are issued and outstanding as of December 17, 2004.  This consists of the following:

  • 6,031,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 6,031,000 shares of our Common Stock offered by the selling security holders. Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at any time within seven years from the date of issuance at $0.50 per share. Each Class A Warrant expires at the end of the seven-year period.
  • 1,000,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock held by John E. Elliott, II and Lawrence R. Kuhnert. Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at any time within seven years from the date of issuance at $0.50 per share. Each Class A Warrant expires at the end of the seven-year period.
  • A common stock warrant issued to Jana Master Fund, LTD ("Jana") granting Jana the right to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share. The warrant is exercisable through March 11, 2011. The common stock warrant was issued to Jana in connection with a $1,500,000 loan Jana made to the Company on March 16, 2004 (the "Original Note"). The Company and Jana agreed to extend the Original Note under the terms of an Amended and Restated Note dated June 12, 2004 (the "Amended Note"). The Amended Note grants Jana the right to convert, at its election, all of the outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest, and any other amounts owing under the Amended Note into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Conversion Shares") at a rate of one (1) share of Common Stock per $0.50 of the amount outstanding under the Amended Note.

  • A common stock warrant was issued to Cleveland Oversees Ltd., in connection with a loan in the principal amount of $150,000 evidenced by a promissory note dated February 28, 2003. The warrant grants Cleveland Overseas with the right to purchase up to 100,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $0.50 per share through March 3, 2008.
  • On September 21, 2004, entered into a Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with BayStar Capital, II, L.P. (“BayStar”), a shareholder of the Company.  BayStar contemporaneously purchased from the Company a Promissory Note and a Warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Promissory Note is in the principal amount of $5 million and bears interest at 6% per annum, compounded quarterly.  The Promissory Note is payable on or before June 21, 2005.  The Company may extend the term of the Promissory Note for an additional three months, in which case the interest rate increases to 12% per annum during the three-month extension period.  The Warrant permits BayStar to purchase up to 3,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.95 per share.  The Warrant expires on September 21, 2009.  The shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant carry certain registration and other rights.  The fair value of the Warrant will be expensed over the term of the Promissory Note. 

The exercise price of all common stock warrants (including Class A Warrants) and stock options is subject to adjustment upon stock dividends, splits and combinations, as well as certain anti-dilution adjustments as set forth in the common stock warrants and option agreements.

Preferred 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 Company’s 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 outstanding. Except as otherwise provided in the Company’s 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 including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following:

-68-


Table of Contents

The rate and times at which, and the terms and conditions upon which dividends, if any, on shares of the series shall be paid, the extent of preferences or relations, if any, of such dividends to the dividends payable on any other class or classes of stock of the Company or on any series of preferred stock and whether such dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative;

The right, if any, of the holders of shares of the same series to convert the same into, or exchange the same for any other class or classes of the Company and the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;

Nevada Business Corporation Laws

The Nevada Business Corporation Law, N.R.S. §78.378 et seq., governs 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 corporation obtains voting rights in the acquired shares as conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders. The articles of incorporation or bylaws of a corporation, however, may provide that the 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 subject to the Voting Agreement.

The Nevada Business Corporation Law, N.R.S. §78.411 et seq., governs combinations with interested stockholders. 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 stockholder (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 stockholder for three years after the date that the person first became an interested stockholder unless the combination or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors before the person first became an interested stockholder. 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 stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder exceeds certain thresholds set forth in the statute. We are subject to N.R.S. §78.411 et seq. of the Nevada Business Corporation Law.

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 and Class A Warrants by the selling security holders against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

The selling security holders are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors
Arcadia Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Southfield, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Arcadia Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2004.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Arcadia Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

g Policies

   


Business and Operations Arcadia Services, Inc. and it subsidiaries are a national provider of medical staffing services, including home healthcare, medical staffing, light industrial, clerical and technical staffing services. Based in Southfield, Michigan, Arcadia provides its staffing services through a network of affiliate offices and Company-owned offices throughout the United States. These services are generally paid for by the clients themselves, insurance companies or by state Medicaid waiver programs. Typically, Arcadia uses registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, personal care attendants, home health aides and homemakers and companions to service these clients.
   
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation
   
Earnings (Loss) per Share The Company follows SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS") for computing and presenting earnings (loss) per share, which requires among other things dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share on the face of the statement of income. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, or other contracts to issue common stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. Outstanding stock options to acquire common shares, and outstanding warrants to acquire common shares, have not been considered in the computation of dilutive loss per share since their effect would be antidilutive.
   
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
Related Business Entities The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary. These financial statements do not include any other related business entities that are under common ownership or in which the stockholder has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest.

g Policies

   

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts the Company believes to be uncollectible. The Company also records an additional allowance based on certain percentages of aged receivables, which is determined based on historical experience and an assessment of the general financial conditions affecting the customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. The Company has a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. Any unanticipated change in one of those customer’s credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectibility of amounts due from such customers, could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
   
Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues as services are provided.
   
Furniture and Fixtures
and Depreciation
The Company’s policy is to depreciate or amortize property and equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3-15 years) by use of the straight-line method.
   
Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired. Prior to January 1, 2002, Goodwill was amortized on the straight-line method over periods ranging from seven to fifteen years.  Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “ Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” accordingly, amortization of goodwill ceased.  Goodwill is now tested for impairment annually by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value.  Amortization expense of approximately $400,000 was recognized during the year ended March 31, 2002.
   
Taxes on Income The Company has elected to be treated as an S-corporation for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, no federal or state income tax expense has been included in the accompanying financial statements.

1.   Related Party
      Transactions
The Company had $10,631,183, $7,583,232 and $4,108,673 due from its stockholder at March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The receivables are a result of advances to the stockholder for corporate operating purposes. Due to the nature of the advances they have been classified as contra equity.
   
The Company had net accounts payable to related parties of $1,573,633, $1,144,817 and $1,307,330 at March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The payables are primarily a result of holdbacks from affiliated entities for commissions payable once the related receivables have been collected.
   
From time to time, the Company acquires businesses throughout the country in order to establish affiliate offices in those markets. During the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company acquired 5, 2 and 2 businesses, respectively. Total cash payments for these affiliates, contingent upon certain purchase price adjustments, is approximately $942,000,  $123,000 and $111,000, respectively. The Company has recorded amounts to be paid to affiliates as consideration for the purchase of the affiliate business, contingent on the affiliate reaching certain margin targets. A portion of the payables has been classified as long-term based on anticipated payment. The majority of purchase price is allocated to goodwill since the acquired affiliates have few identifiable tangible assets. The primary purpose for acquiring the affiliates is to increase revenues and market share and provide additional operating cash flow.
   
2.   Operating Leases The Company leases office space under several operating lease agreements, which expire through 2008. Rent expense relating to these leases amounted to approximately $564,000, $479,000 and $464,000 for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
   
The following is a schedule of approximate future minimum rental payments, exclusive of real estate taxes and other operating expenses, required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year.

3.   Commitments and
      Contingencies
The Company is involved in various litigation incident to its business at March 31, 2004. Management’s opinion is that the outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, and that the outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on liquidity and operating results.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2004, the parent has a credit facility with a bank. Certain borrowings under the commitment are limited to eligible accounts receivable. Borrowings are collateralized by essentially all assets of the Company.
   
  The Company has entered into an employment agreement with a key employee. The agreement extends through March 2006. The agreement provides for compensation, specific employee benefits and has a clause for a change in control.
   
4.   Employee Benefit Plan The Company participates in its parent’s 401(k) Plan which allows Company employees to defer a percentage of compensation up to defined limitations. The Plan allows for certain discretionary employer contributions. The Company made no contributions on the employees’ behalf for each of the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
   
5.   Goodwill Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. During 2002, the Company completed its transitional goodwill impairment test. There were no reporting units where the carrying value exceeded the fair value of their net assets including goodwill.
   
The Company's previous business combinations were accounted for using the purchase method. As a result of such combinations, the Company has recognized goodwill, which, in the aggregate, totaled approximately $3,589,000 at March 31, 2004. Goodwill amortization totaled approximately $400,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2004, and for the periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim financial statements include all adjustments which management considers necessary to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the remainder of the year.

          The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2004 and for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and for the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004, include the accounts of Critical Home Care, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Critical” or the “Company”).  The balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 and the statements of income for the period from April 1, 2004 to May 9, 2004, and for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and the six months ended September 30, 2003, include the accounts of Arcadia Services, Inc. and subsidiaries prior to the effect of the acquisition and merger described in Note 4. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

The “Predecessor” entity is Arcadia Services, Inc., and the “Successor” entity is the combined company resulting from the RKDA reverse merger.  These terms are appropriate because under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, RKDA, Inc. is the accounting acquirer in the reverse acquisition of Critical Home Care, Inc.  Results for the period from April 1, 2004 to May 9, 2004 and for the six moths ended September 30, 2003 are those of Arcadia Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries presented on a consolidated basis (i.e., the Predecessor entity).  Results for the period from May 10, 2004 to September 30, 2004 are those of the combined Company resulting from the RKDA merger, presented on a consolidated basis (i.e., the Successor entity). 

MERGER AND RECAPITALIZATION

          Effective May 10, 2004, CHC Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into RKDA, Inc., a recently formed Michigan Corporation, (the “RKDA Merger”).  RKDA’s assets consist of all of the capital stock of Arcadia Services, Inc. and the membership interest of SSAC, LLC d/b/a Arcadia Rx.  RKDA acquired Arcadia Services, Inc. on May 7, 2004 pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among RKDA, Inc., Arcadia Services, Inc., Addus HealthCare, Inc., and the principal stockholder of Addus HealthCare, Inc. (the “Arcadia Acquisition”).  For descriptions of the terms of the RKDA Merger and the Arcadia Acquisition, please refer to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 24, 2004, as amended by the accompanying Form 8-K/A filed with the Commission on July 23, 2004.

          For accounting purposes, the transaction between RKDA and Critical was considered a reverse merger, and RKDA, Inc. will be considered the acquirer of the Company for accounting purposes.

          This report should be read in conjunction with Consolidated Financial Statements of Arcadia Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries for the Years Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, included in the Form 8-K/A filed with the Commission on July 23, 2004.

NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

          Critical is incorporated in Nevada and based in Southfield, Michigan. The Company is a national provider of staffing and homecare services, durable medical equipment and mail order pharmaceuticals.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

          Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

          Revenue Recognition – Revenue for services to customers are recognized in the period services were rendered and recorded at established rates. Revenue for the sale of medications, which are generally dispensed by our pharmacy and shipped directly to the patient’s home are recognized at the time of shipment.  Revenue for the sale of durable medical equipment and related supplies, including oxygen equipment, ventilators, Wheelchairs, hospital beds and infusion pumps, are recognized at the time of delivery. The complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Such adjustments are typically identified and recorded at the point of cash application, claim denial or account review.

          Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – The Company reviews all accounts receivable balances, and provides for an allowance for uncollectible accounts, and estimates for its bad debt expense based on historical analysis of its records. The basis of this analysis is from the aging of the receivable files, and the patient, payer provider records, and additionally their payment history. Items that are greater than one year old are fully reserved. The balance of any reserve, which is established, is estimated based on the collection history from Company records.  If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required.  Any unanticipated change in customers’ credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectibility of amounts due from such customers, could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur.  After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

          Inventories – Inventories are valued at cost. Cost is determined by first in, first out (FIFO) method. 

          Fixed Assets and Depreciation – The Company’s policy is to depreciate or amortize fixed assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3-15 years) by use of the straight-line method.

          Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To determine if impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the related long-lived assets to the net carrying amount of such assets. Once it has been determined that an impairment exists, the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to fair value. Factors considered in the determination of fair value include current operating results, trends and the present value of estimated expected future cash flows.

          Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired.  The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  Accordingly, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The test for impairement requires the company to make several estimates about fair value, most of which are based on projected discounted future cash flows. The estimates associated with the goodwill impairement test are considered critical due to judgement required in determining fair value amounts, including projected discounted future cash flows. Changes in these estimates may result in the recognition of an impairment loss.

          Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share  is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, or other contracts to issue common stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. Outstanding stock options to acquire common shares, and outstanding warrants to acquire common shares,  have not been considered in the computation of dilutive loss per share since their effect would be antidilutive.

          Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized currently for the future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

-90-


Table of Contents

          The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed for some portion or all of a net deferred tax asset. Judgment is used in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. In arriving at these judgments, the weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets and review the amount of such allowance annually. When the Company determines certain deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be utilized, the Company will reduce the valuation allowance accordingly.

          Prior to May 10, 2004, Arcadia Services, Inc. elected to be taxed as a Subchapter S-corporation with the individual shareholders reporting their respective share of income on their income tax return. Accordingly, the Company has no deferred tax assets or liabilities arising in prior periods.

          The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets related to the approximate $2,300,000 operating carryovers of Critical expiring through 2024. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 rules limit the utilization of NOLs upon a change in control of a company. It has been determined that a change in control has taken place. Since the change in control has taken place, utilization of the Company’s NOLs will be subject to severe limitations in future periods, which could have an effect of eliminating substantially all the future income tax benefits of the NOL’s.

          Tax benefits from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards will be recorded at such time and to such extent, they are more likely than not to be realized.

Stock Based Compensation –

          The Company accounts for its stock option plan under SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of SFAS No. 123”. As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company continues to apply the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” As required under SFAS No. 148, the following table presents pro forma net loss and basic and diluted loss per share as if the fair value-based method had been applied to all awards.

The initial advance of $11 million was immediately distributed up to RKDA, Inc. to fund a portion of the purchase price of the capital stock of Arcadia by RKDA from the seller.

NOTE 6 – Affiliate Payable

Arcadia Services, Inc (Arcadia) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company  operates primarily through a network of affiliated agencies throughout the United States.  These affiliated agencies are owner-managed businesses, which have been contracted by the Company to sell services under the Arcadia name.  The arrangements with affiliated agencies are formalized through a standard contractual agreement. The affiliates operate in particular regions and are responsible for recruiting and training field service employees and marketing their services to potential customers within the region.  The field service employees are employees of  Arcadia. Arcadia provides sales and marketing support to the affiliates and develops and maintains operating manuals that provide suggested standard operating procedures for the affiliates.

Each affiliate receives a weekly commission amount based on a percentage of the gross margin of the business generated by the affiliate.  Gross margin is computed by taking the gross amounts billed to Arcadia’s customers in any given week and deducting the total weekly wages, payroll-related taxes and insurance costs (workers’ compensation and disability, as required by law) for field service personnel.

The affiliate agreement also provides an affiliate reserve for bad debts that are charged against the affiliate’s weekly commission amount.  The affiliate reserve is computed based on 1% of gross sales (billings).  The total amount that can be held by Arcadia is limited to 10% of the current outstanding balance of accounts receivable related to the affiliate. In addition, affiliates are required to reimburse the Company for 50% of any loss  resulting from bad debt experience on accounts receivable.  When a write off happens it is taken against the reserve as opposed to the weekly commission. The total reserve held as of September 30, 2004 is $968,297.

When Arcadia purchases the customers and hires the employees of an affiliate they will pay additional consideration of up to 10% of first-year revenues generated by the affiliate for affiliating with Arcadia. Once Affiliated the field service employees and customers become Arcadia’s property.   The estimated payments is accrued on transaction date. The payment is made in monthly installments over a three-year period. The amounts in excess of one year payments is considered long term. The short term consideration is $466,000 and the long term consideration amount is $670,059.

In addition to the consideration, Arcadia may provide cash loans to affiliates to assist the affiliates in beginning their operations or starting up new offices.  These loans are typically $5,000 to $20,000 and are repaid through a reduction of commissions on a mutually agreed upon repayment schedule. The short term portion of the loans is $92,327 and the long term portion is $66,366.

NOTE 7 – Stockholder’s Equity

          On May 10, 2004, CHC Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Critical, consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger under which CHC Sub, Inc., merged with and into RKDA, Inc. The purchase price paid was 21,300,000 shares of Critical common stock and 1,000,000 seven-year class A warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share. The Company retired 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as part of this transaction. RKDA’s assets consist of all of the capital stock of Arcadia Services, Inc. and the membership interests of SSAC, LLC d/b/a Arcadia Rx. (collectively “Arcadia”). RKDA had acquired Arcadia Services, Inc. through a stock purchase on May 7, 2004.  The Company raised $8,245,000 through a Regulation D private placement of 32,980,000 common shares at a price of $0.25 per share which was completed and terminated on May 27, 2004.  The offering also included 3,298,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 3,298,000 common shares of stock over seven years at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  The Placement Agent received a 10% sales commission, reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses and seven year warrants to purchase 2,298,000 shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable on a cashless basis at $0.50 per share.

          Three officers of the Company escrowed 6 million, 4 million and 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, pursuant to Escrow Agreements dated as of May 7, 2004 (collectively, the “Escrow Shares”). Fifty (50%) percent of the Escrow Shares will be released from escrow in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008, if RKDA, in the case of Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert, and the Company, in the case of Mr. Bensol, meets the following milestones: for the 12 month period ending March 31, 2006, an Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) of $9.7 million and for the 12 month period ending March 31, 2007, an Adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million. Alternatively, the Escrow Shares shall be released in fiscal 2008 if RKDA, in the case of Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert, and the Company, in the case of Mr. Bensol, obtains an Adjusted EBITDA for the 24 month period ending March 31, 2007 of at least $22.2 million. In addition, for any of the Escrow Shares to be released pursuant to the foregoing thresholds, the Company’s, in the case of Mr. Bensol, and RKDA’s, in the case of Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert, Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio must be 2.0 or less. Nevertheless, twenty (20%) percent of the Escrow Shares (2.4 million shares) will be released if the Company’s Common Stock remains at least $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days or the average closing price for any consecutive 45 day period is at least at $1.00 per share, even if the EBITDA thresholds are not met.  To date, no shares have been released from escrow.

          While held in escrow, the Escrow Shares are not accounted for on the Company’s books and records, because Messrs. Elliott, Kuhnert and Bensol, respectively, retain ownership of the Escrow Shares.  In the event the conditions for release of the Escrow Shares are satisfied, the fair value of the shares will be recorded as a charge to the Company’s income statement. In the event the conditions for release of the Escrow Shares are not satisfied, the shares shall be transferred to the Company. While the Escrow Shares are held in escrow, Messrs. Elliott, Kuhnert and Bensol are entitled to receive immediately (and not paid into escrow) any dividends payable with respect to the Escrowed Shares and have the right to vote the Escrow Shares on all matters as if the Escrowed Shares were not held in escrow.  The Escrowed Shares are not affected by termination of employment.

          On May 25, 2004, the Company entered into separate agreements with certain managerial employees of Arcadia Services, Inc., that entitled the employees to each purchase 200,000 and 240,000 shares, of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share. 

          Immediately prior to the RKDA Merger, David Bensol, then the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, surrendered to the Company 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by him, which was a condition to RKDA’s obligation to close on the merger.  These shares of Common Stock were then cancelled.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

          Three officers of the Company entered into substantially similar employment agreements on May 7, 2004, as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Executive Vice President, respectively. Each agreement is for three years, automatically renewable for successive one-year periods unless terminated on three months’ prior written notice. Each officer is being paid $150,000 per annum in salary and is eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus determined by the Board of Directors. If either Messrs. Elliott, Kuhnert, or Bensol’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause (as defined) or by the executive for good reason (as defined), then such executive shall receive twice his base salary. Upon a change in control, other than the RKDA Merger, if the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause or by the executive for good reason, the executive shall receive three times his total compensation for the past year.  Each executive agreed not to compete with the Company within North America for the one-year-period following termination of his employment.

          Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert were each granted stock options to purchase 4 million shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.25 per share. The options shall vest in six tranches provided certain adjusted EBITDA milestones are met through fiscal 2008, subject to acceleration upon certain events occurring. The options may be exercised by Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert as long as they are employed by the Company and for one year from termination for any reason provided they have achieved the EBITDA milestones. The expense, if any, related to these options will be recognized in the period the milestones are achieved or likely to be achieved. The stock options for Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert have not been included in the stock compensation disclosure and will be accounted for when the targets have been achieved.

SETTLEMENT OF CERTAIN LIABILITIES

          In May 2004, David S. Bensol, Robert Rubin, and Kenneth Orr each agreed to contribute or cause affiliates to contribute 200,000 shares of their Critical common stock to Cleveland Overseas, Ltd. (“Cleveland”) in full payment of the Company’s $150,000 debt to Cleveland which matured on April 30, 2004, and in exchange for the release of their personal guarantees and stock pledges to Cleveland. In addition, the Company reduced the exercise price to Cleveland of a 7 year warrant to acquire 100,000 common shares from $1.00 per share to $0.50 per share. The Company’s debt of $150,000 to Cleveland is considered paid in full.

          On May 13, 2004, David S. Bensol converted $150,000 of his debt into 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share, plus 60,000 Class A warrants identical to those issued in connection with the Company’s May 7, 2004 Offering (See Note 6), pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors dated May 4, 2004.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Effective May 10, 2004, CHC Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Critical Home Care, Inc. (the “Company”), merged with and into RKDA, Inc., a recently formed Michigan corporation, (the “RKDA Merger”).   RKDA’s assets consist of all of the capital stock of Arcadia Services, Inc. and the membership interest of SSAC, LLC d/b/a Arcadia Rx.   RKDA acquired Arcadia Services, Inc. on May 7, 2004 pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among RKDA, Inc., Arcadia Services, Inc., Addus HealthCare, Inc., and Addus HealthCare’s principal shareholder (the “Arcadia Acquisition”).  For descriptions of the terms of the RKDA Merger and the Arcadia Acquisition, please refer to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 24, 2004, as amended by the Form 8-K/A filed with the Commission on July 23, 2004.

The following unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the Arcadia Acquisition and the RKDA Merger.   RKDA, Inc. will be considered the acquirer of the Company for accounting purposes. These pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared as if the Arcadia Acquisition and the RKDA Merger had been completed as of April 1, 2003 for the purpose of the statement of income and March 31, 2004 for balance sheet purposes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually been reported had the Arcadia Acquisition and RKDA Merger occurred on March 31, 2004 for balance sheet purposes and April 1, 2003 for the statement of income purposes, nor are they necessarily indicative of the future financial position or results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements include adjustments which are based on preliminary estimates to reflect the allocation of the purchase consideration of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Arcadia Services, Inc. and the RKDA Merger.  The final allocation of the purchase consideration of the Arcadia Acquisition and the RKDA Merger will be determined using Arcadia Services, Inc.’s financial statements as of May 7, 2004, the closing date of the Arcadia Acquisition, and the Company’s financial statements as of May 10, 2004, the effective date of the RKDA Merger, and will be based on a comprehensive final evaluation of the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill at the time of Arcadia Acquisition and RKDA Merger as considered appropriate. The pro forma and acquisition adjustments are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of the filing of the Form 8-K/A with the Commission on July 23, 2004.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company, together with the related notes thereto, including   the Company’s quarterly report filed with the Commission on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and the Company’s annual report filed with the Commission on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 31, 2003, together with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Arcadia Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries for the Years Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and Form 8-K/A filed with the Commission on July 23, 2004.

We acquired Arcadia Services and our mail order pharmacy business (“Arcadia Rx”) on May 10, 2004 through a reverse merger financed, in part, by private investment in public equity (i.e., the Company's Common Stock) a transaction commonly called a “PIPE.”  Before these acquisitions, Arcadia and Arcadia Rx were privately owned businesses.  Arcadia reported sales of approximately $78 million and approximately $76 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  Arcadia Rx is a full service mail order pharmacy based in Paducah, Kentucky with annual revenues of approximately $2.5 million.

Under the RKDA merger, our wholly owned subsidiary CHC Sub, Inc. merged with and into RKDA, Inc., a Michigan corporation owned by John E. Elliott, II and Lawrence R. Kuhnert.  The RKDA Merger was effective May 10, 2004. RKDA survived the merger.

RKDA purchased all of Arcadia’s capital stock on May 7, 2004 from a privately owned company. The purchase price was $16.8 million, payable as follows: $16.1 million in cash, a $500,000 promissory note payable one year after closing, and $200,000 accrued in accounts payable. In addition, RKDA paid $557,109 of bonuses to certain Arcadia employees. RKDA paid the purchase price and bonus payments with a $5 million loan from the Company, a revolving bank loan initially for $11 million, a $100,000 cash deposit, the delivery of an unsecured, subordinated $500,000 promissory note to the seller, and $200,000 accrued in accounts payable.  The Company raised the $5 million it loaned RKDA as part of a Regulation D (Rule 506) Private Placement Offering—i.e., the PIPE.

Pursuant to the RKDA Merger, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert transferred to RKDA their membership interests in SSAC, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, doing business as “Arcadia Rx.” They additionally transferred all of their RKDA capital stock to the Company.

Immediately prior to the RKDA Merger and as reflected on the financial statements of the Old Critical, David Bensol (“Bensol”), then the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, transferred to the Company 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by him and settled certain obligations for the Company.

On May 10, 2004, the Company issued Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert 21,300,000 shares of its Common Stock and 1,000,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share within seven years. As a result, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert were deemed to be the beneficial owners of 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of May 10, 2004, there were 76,393,351 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding. The 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock of which Messrs. Elliot and Kuhnert were deemed to be the beneficial owners represented 29.20% of the 76,393,351 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 10, 2004.

Note 2 - Cash

The Company, on May 7, 2004, completed the minimum $8 million of a Regulation D Private Placement (the "Offering"), and subsequently sold an additional $245,000 of securities and terminated the Offering effective May 27, 2004.  Through the Offering and a subsequent sale to key employees of the Company’s subsidiary, the Company raised $7,620,500 of cash net of $834,500 of fees paid to an investment banker.  The Company incurred legal and accounting fees related to the Offering of $411,808.  As described in Item 2 of the accompanying Form 8-K/A, he Company, on May 7, 2004, received bank financing of $11,031,650.  Cash was used to purchase the stock of Arcadia Services, Inc. for $16,100,00, pay the employees’ stay bonus of $467,230, legal and accounting fees of $506,937 and pay off certain notes payable of $425,000, net of $300,000 of prepaid acquisition costs.

Note 4 - Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

$300,000 cash that was paid for the Arcadia Acquisition and legal and accounting expenses were transferred from prepaid expenses to purchase price and other accrued expenses. In addition two months rent in the amount of $14,197 was prepaid for April and May 2004.

Note 5 - Goodwill

As the merger of CHC Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Critical Home Care, Inc. (the “Company”), with and into RKDA, Inc. (the “RKDA Merger”) is treated as a reverse merger of an operating company for accounting purposes, the goodwill   of the Company is the market value of outstanding shares of the Company on the date of the RKDA Merger plus the net liabilities of the Company.  The Company had 24,393,351 shares outstanding immediately preceding the RKDA Merger.  At a closing market price of $0.53 per share as May 10, 2004, the effective date of the RKDA Merger, the total value of the Company’s 24,393,351 outstanding shares immediately preceding the RKDA Merger is $12,928,476, which together with liabilities of $1,354,000 equals the total goodwill pro forma adjustment of $14,282,476.

Note 6 - Accounts Payable

The pro forma adjustment includes a payable for legal expenses in the amount of $193,765, investment banking fees of $75,000 and a payable to Addus HealthCare, Inc. (Arcadia, Inc.’s former stockholder) for a purchase price adjustment of $200,000. Payments were made from the acquisition proceeds in the amount of $92,583 for legal expenses and $53,525 for accounting expenses.

Note 7 - Compensation and Related Taxes

Arcadia Services, Inc. had agreements with certain key employees for a stay bonus. The bonuses totaled $582,000. On the transaction date, the employees were paid $467,230. The difference of $114,770, which represents payroll taxes, was accrued.

Note 8 - Note Payable Asset Acquisition

On September 13, 2002, CHC acquired substantially all of the assets and business operations of All Care Medical Products, Inc.  Of the $233,000 balance due for the All Care acquisition, a payment of $150,000 was made, and the balance of $83,000 was forgiven. 

Note 9 - Note Payable Officers and Other

The sum of the current and long term pro forma adjustment is $275,000 out of which $150,000 was paid against a note payable with a bank,  $100,000 was paid to an unrelated party and $25,000 was paid against an officer note.

Note 10 - Note Payable and Line of Credit - Bank

The Company entered into an agreement with the bank to help fund the transaction.  See Note 2, above.  Based on the terms of the agreement the bank loaned the Company $11,031,650 of which $10,031,650 is based on the Company accounts receivable as a revolving line of credit and $1,000,000 of excess borrowings, payable within a year.

Table of Contents

Note 11 - Note Payable Acquisition

The purchase price for Arcadia Services, Inc. paid by RDKA, Inc. was $16,800,000. Addus HealthCare, Inc. (Arcadia’s stockholder)   was paid $16,100,000 in cash,   provided a $500,000 promissory note payable one year after closing, and $200,000 which is accrued in accounts payable. 

Note 12 - Common Stock

The Company’s common stock was adjusted to reflect 76,393,351 of outstanding shares as of May 10, 2004, at a par value of $0.001 (includes recapitalization of RKDA, Inc. and issuance of the Company’s common stock in the Offering). 

Note 13 - Additional Paid in Capital and Retained Earnings

The paid in capital and retained earnings were restated to reflect the purchase accounting adjustment to eliminate the historical equity.

Note 14 - General and Administrative Expenses

Michigan Single Business Tax was paid on a consolidated basis by the Addus HealthCare, Inc., Arcadia’s former stockholder. On a standalone basis,   Arcadia Services, Inc. would have incurred an additional $160,000 of expense for the year ended March 31, 2004.

Note 15 - Interest Expense

The Company obtained approximately $11,000,000 in financing from a bank in order to help fund the acquisition of Arcadia Services, Inc. by RKDA, Inc.    See Notes 2 and 10, above.  Based on the current borrowing rate of 4.25%, the Company would have incurred approximately $467,500 of interest expense for the year ended March 31, 2004. In addition the Company would have incurred amortization of deferred financing fees of $40,194 for the year ended March 31, 2004.

Note 16 – Earnings Per Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - The Company follows SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("EPS") for computing and presenting earnings (loss) per share, which requires, among other things, dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share on the face of the statement of income. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, or other contracts to issue common stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. Outstanding stock options to acquire common shares, and outstanding warrants to acquire common shares, have not been considered in the computation of dilutive loss per share since their effect would be antidilutive.

The following is a summary of the Company’s outstanding common stock activity as of May 10, 2004:

 
Outstanding Shares Immediately Preceding RKDA Merger 

24,393,351 

Shares Issued in the Offering

 32,000,000 

Shares Issued per RKDA Merger

21,300,000 

Shares Contributed to the Company per RKDA Merger

64,393,351 

As of May 10, 2004, the effective date of the RKDA Merger, there were 76,393,351 shares of the Company’s common stock authorized and   outstanding.  The 32,000,000 Shares Issued in the Offering do not include an additional 980,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Offering through the date the Offering terminated on May 27, 2004, and an additional 840,000 shares of the Company’s common stock sold to key employees of the Company’s subsidiary.  The Shares Held in Escrow Per RKDA Merger are not included for purposes of calculating the earnings per share in the pro forma statement of income.

 Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income

For The Six Months Ended September 30, 2004

Effective May 10, 2004, CHC Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Critical Home Care, Inc. (the “Company”), merged with and into RKDA, Inc., a recently formed Michigan corporation, (the “RKDA Merger”).   RKDA’s assets consist of all of the capital stock of Arcadia Services, Inc. and the membership interest of SSAC, LLC d/b/a Arcadia Rx.   RKDA acquired Arcadia Services, Inc. on May 7, 2004 pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among RKDA, Inc., Arcadia Services, Inc., Addus HealthCare, Inc., and Addus HealthCare’s principal shareholder (the “Arcadia Acquisition”).  For descriptions of the terms of the RKDA Merger and the Arcadia Acquisition, please refer to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 24, 2004, as amended by the Form 8-K/A filed with the Commission on July 23, 2004.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the six months ended September 30, 2004 have been prepared to give effect to the Arcadia Acquisition and the RKDA Merger, as if the Arcadia Acquisition and the RKDA Merger had been completed as of April 1, 2004 for the purpose of the statement of income.   RKDA, Inc. will be considered the acquirer of the Company for accounting purposes.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the six months ended September 30, 2004 are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have actually been reported had the Arcadia Acquisition and RKDA Merger occurred on April 1, 2004 for the statement of income purposes, nor are they necessarily indicative of the results of operations.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the six months ended September 30, 2004 include adjustments which are based on preliminary estimates to reflect the allocation of the purchase consideration of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Arcadia Services, Inc. and the RKDA Merger.  The final allocation of the purchase consideration of the Arcadia Acquisition and the RKDA Merger will be determined using Arcadia Services, Inc.’s financial statements as of May 7, 2004, the closing date of the Arcadia Acquisition, and the Company’s financial statements as of May 10, 2004, the effective date of the RKDA Merger, and will be based on a comprehensive final evaluation of the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill at the time of Arcadia Acquisition and RKDA Merger as considered appropriate. The pro forma and acquisition adjustments are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of the filing of the Form 8-K/A with the Commission on July 23, 2004.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the six months ended September 30, 2004 should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company, together with the related notes thereto, including the Company’s quarterly report filed with the Commission on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

We acquired Arcadia Services and our mail order pharmacy business (“Arcadia Rx”) on May 10, 2004 through a reverse merger financed, in part, by private investment in public equity (i.e., the Company's Common Stock) a transaction commonly called a “PIPE.”  Before these acquisitions, Arcadia and Arcadia Rx were privately owned businesses.  Arcadia reported sales of approximately $78 million and approximately $76 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  Arcadia Rx is a full service mail order pharmacy based in Paducah, Kentucky with annual revenues of approximately $2.5 million.

Under the RKDA merger, our wholly owned subsidiary CHC Sub, Inc. merged with and into RKDA, Inc., a Michigan corporation owned by John E. Elliott, II and Lawrence R. Kuhnert.  The RKDA Merger was effective May 10, 2004. RKDA survived the merger.

RKDA purchased all of Arcadia’s capital stock on May 7, 2004 from a privately owned company. The purchase price was $16.8 million, payable as follows: $16.1 million in cash, a $500,000 promissory note payable one year after closing, and $200,000 accrued in accounts payable. In addition, RKDA paid $557,109 of bonuses to certain Arcadia employees. RKDA paid the purchase price and bonus payments with a $5 million loan from the Company, a revolving bank loan initially for $11 million, a $100,000 cash deposit, the delivery of an unsecured, subordinated $500,000 promissory note to the seller, and $200,000 accrued in accounts payable.  The Company raised the $5 million it loaned RKDA as part of a Regulation D (Rule 506) Private Placement Offering—i.e., the PIPE.

Pursuant to the RKDA merger, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert transferred to RKDA their membership interests in SSAC, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, doing business as “Arcadia Rx.” They additionally transferred all of their RKDA capital stock to the Company. Immediately prior to the RKDA Merger and as reflected on the financial statements of the Old Critical (i.e., Critical Home Care, Inc. before the RKDA reverse merger), David Bensol (“Bensol”), then the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, transferred to the Company 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by him and settled certain obligations for the Company.

On May 10, 2004, the Company issued Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert 21,300,000 shares of its Common Stock and 1,000,000 Class A Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share within seven years. As a result, Messrs. Elliott and Kuhnert were deemed to be the beneficial owners of 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of May 10, 2004, there were 76,393,351 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding. The 22,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock of which Messrs. Elliot and Kuhnert were deemed to be the beneficial owners represented 29.20% of the 76,393,351 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 10, 2004.

Item 14. 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 stockholders 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 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

See Selling Security holders, Unregistered Securities Transactions, for a description of unregistered securities sold by the Company during the last three fiscal years.

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.

(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.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s 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.
