ARCA, as well as for other small local businesses.&#160; His 45-year retail career began with Sears
and spanned 32 years in a variety of management positions throughout the upper
Midwest, including sales promotion, store manager and district manager. &#160;After retiring from Sears, he joined ARCA in
1996 as national quality control manager and subsequently held several other
positions at the company, including vice president of operations, before
retiring from ARCA.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Edward
R. (Jack) Cameron, president and chief executive officer, commented: &#147;With his
extensive experience in the appliance retailing industry combined with his
in-depth working knowledge of ARCA&#146;s operations, Morgan Wolf will be a
tremendous asset to our board of directors. ARCA has been fortunate to have had
the expertise of board members Duane Carlson, Bill Bednarczyk and Al Dubiak, and
we welcome Morgan&#146;s contributions to the continued growth of ARCA&#146;s appliance
retailing and recycling operations.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">ARCA
is one of the nation&#146;s largest recyclers of major household appliances for the
energy conservation programs of electric utilities.&#160; Through its ApplianceSmart operation, ARCA is
also one of the nation&#146;s leading retailers of special-buy household appliances,
primarily those manufactured by Maytag, GE, Frigidaire and Whirlpool.&#160; These special-buy appliances, which include
close-out, factory overruns and scratch-and-dent unit, typically are not
integrated into the manufacturer&#146;s normal distribution channel.&#160; ApplianceSmart sells these virtually new
appliances at a discount to full retail, offers a 100% money-back guarantee and
provides warranties on parts and labor.&#160;
As of October&nbsp;2007, ApplianceSmart was operating fourteen factory
outlets: five in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market; three in the Columbus, Ohio,
market; four in the Atlanta market; and two in San Antonio, Texas.&#160; As previously announced, ARCA will open its
fourth store in the Columbus market in November&nbsp;2007, bringing the total
number of ApplianceSmart outlets nationally to fifteen.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Statements
about ARCA&#146;s outlook are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties,
including but not limited to: the strength of recycling programs, the growth of
appliance retail sales, the speed at which individual retail stores reach
profitability, and other factors discussed in the Company&#146;s filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.</font></p>
