9.             Investment Representations.

(a)           This Agreement is made in reliance upon iVOW’s representation to Crdentia, which by their acceptance hereof iVOW hereby confirms, that the Stock Consideration to be received by iVOW will be acquired for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and that iVOW has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.  iVOW also represents and warrants that it has sufficient business and financial experience to enable it to protect its own interests in connection with the issuance of the Stock Consideration hereunder.

(b)           iVOW is an “accredited invester” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).  iVOW believes that it has received all

4




the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to accept the Stock Consideration.  iVOW further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Crdentia regarding the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of Crdentia.

(c)           iVOW understands that the Stock Consideration it is accepting hereunder is characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as it is being acquired from Crdentia in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, iVOW represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understand the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.  iVOW understands that the Stock Consideration has not been registered under the Act and has not been registered or qualified in any state in which it is offered, and thus iVOW will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer the Stock Consideration unless it is registered under the Act, or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

(d)           It is understood that the certificate(s) evidencing the Stock consideration shall bear the following legend:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.”

10.           Lock-Up.   In order to induce Crdentia to include the Shares in a registration statement pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement between iVOW and Crdentia of even date herewith, iVOW hereby agrees that subject to the limitations below, for the period commencing on the Effective Date hereof and terminating on the date 180 days following the date that the Securities and Exchange Commission shall declare the registration statement which includes the Shares to be effective under the Securities Act (such period the “Restricted Period”), iVOW shall not, without the prior written consent of Crdentia, (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of Crdentia or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for capital stock of Crdentia (including without limitation, Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by iVOW in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of Crdentia, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of capital

5




stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.  In order to enable Crdentia to enforce the aforesaid restrictions on transfer, the undersigned hereby agrees that Crdentia may impose stock-transfer restrictions with respect to the securities of Crdentia owned beneficially by iVOW until the end of the Restricted Period; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, during the Restricted Period, iVOW shall be entitled to dispose up to $375,000 of the Shares held by iVOW during each 90 day period after the Effective Date.

11.           Binding.   This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns.

12.           Severability.   If any of the provisions in this Agreement are determined to be invalid by a court, arbitrator, or government agency of competent jurisdiction, it is agreed that such determination shall not effect the enforceability of the other provisions herein.

13.           Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

14.           Survival.   The representations, warranties and covenants of the Parties hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the payment of the Settlement Consideration.

15.           Entire Agreement; Modification.   This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding among the Parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral statements, agreements, understandings and/or negotiations regarding the subject matter herein.  This Agreement may not be modified or amended in any way without the express written consent of the Parties.

16.           Fees and Expenses.   Except as set forth in the registration rights agreement, each Party shall bear its own fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement.

17.           Governing Law.   This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit itself to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and each of the

6




parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and (e) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such party is to receive notice.

18.           Notices.   All notices, requests, Claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) upon personal delivery, (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent via a nationally recognized overnight courier service if overnight courier service is requested or (ii) upon receipt of electronic or other confirmation of transmission if sent via facsimile, or (iii) immediately if sent via email in each case at the addresses, fax numbers or email addresses (or at such other address, fax number or email address for a party as shall be specified by like notice) set forth below:

(c)           iVOW agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a Selling Holder Questionnaire).  The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of iVOW in a Registration Statement if iVOW fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder Questionnaire at least two Trading Days prior to the filing of the applicable Registration Statement.  iVOW acknowledges that the Company may, in its sole discretion, include shares of capital stock held by other selling stockholders on any Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities.

3.   Registration Procedures.

In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(a)           (i)  Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; provided, however, that on the Business Day following the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424 the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Final Prospectus Filing”); provided, further, however, that any advance notification provisions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation Section 3(b), shall not apply to the extent that such provisions would render impracticable the Final Prospectus Filing within the period specified in this Section 3(a)(ii); (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible provide iVOW true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that would not result in the disclosure to iVOW of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the

3




Registration Statements, the delivery of the Prospectus or Prospectuses and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement.

(b)           Notify iVOW as promptly as reasonably possible and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing as promptly as reasonably possible (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to iVOW that pertain to iVOW as a Selling Stockholder or to the Plan of Distribution, but not information which the Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c)           Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(d)           Cooperate with iVOW to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statements, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Settlement Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as iVOW may request.

(e)           Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(b)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be

4




stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

4.   Registration Expenses.   All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement.

5.   Indemnification.

(a)           Indemnification by the Company.   The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless iVOW, the officers, directors, agents, investment advisors, partners, members and employees of each of them, each Person who controls iVOW (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) (Losses shall not include any diminution in value of the Registrable Securities), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding iVOW furnished in writing to the Company by iVOW expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to iVOW or iVOW’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by iVOW expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that iVOW has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by iVOW of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified iVOW in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by iVOW of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected.  The Company shall notify iVOW promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)           Indemnification by iVOW.   iVOW shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) iVOW’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus,

5




or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding iVOW furnished in writing to the Company by iVOW expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to iVOW or iVOW’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by iVOW expressly for use in the Registration Statement (it being understood that iVOW has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by iVOW of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified iVOW in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or  defective and prior to the receipt by iVOW of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected.  In no event shall the liability of iVOW hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by iVOW upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.   If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an

6




unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d)           Contribution.  If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), in no event shall iVOW be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by iVOW from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that iVOW has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

7




6.   Miscellaneous.

(a)           Compliance.   iVOW covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(b)           Discontinued Disposition.   iVOW agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c), iVOW will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until iVOW’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the Advice) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.  The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

(c)           Amendments and Waivers.   The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 6(f), may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and iVOW.

(d)           Notices.   Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement

(e)           Successors and Assigns.   Other than in connection with a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or other similar change in control transaction, the Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of iVOW.  iVOW may not assign its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company, provided that iVOW may assign its rights hereunder upon notice to, but without the prior consent of, the Company to a party that acquires all of the Registrable Securities held by iVOW.

(f)            Execution and Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

(g)           Governing Law.   This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit itself to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such

8




court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and (e) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such party is to receive notice.

(h)           Severability.   If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.  It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(i)            Headings.   The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

ANNEX A

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

·                  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors;

·                  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·                  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·                  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·                  privately negotiated transactions;

·                  to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;

·                  broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·                  a combination of any such methods of sale; and

·                  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.  The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act,

A-1




disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv)the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.  In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the Selling Stockholder and/or the purchasers.  Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.

The Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission.  In addition, the Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of short sales “against the box” prior to the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part would be a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as described in Item 65, Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporate Finance.

If a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this Registration Statement.

The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

This Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) is entered into as of this 13th day of April 2007 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Crdentia Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Crdentia”) and Dawson James Securities, Inc. (“Dawson”) (Crdentia and Dawson collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, Dawson agreed to sell for Crdentia a certain quantity of units of stock as reflected in the Selling Agreement, and the parties agreed that Dawson would be paid a certain commission in exchange for its services as reflected in the Selling Agreement; and

WHEREAS, a dispute arose between the Parties involving the Selling Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Dawson has filed suit in an action styled, Dawson James Securities, Inc., a Florida corporation, vs. Crdentia Corp, a Delaware corporation, Case No: 50-2006CA-001708-XXXX-MB AH, in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, concerning the issues raised by the existence of the Selling Agreement and the Parties’ respective performance thereunder, along with Dawson’s equitable claims concerning the amounts Dawson claims it was due for its services (the “Litigation”); and

WHEREAS, The Parties are desirous of settling and disposing of all claims, which were brought or could have been brought between the Parties in the Litigation; and are desirous of releasing and eliminating any liability that they may have to one another of any nature whatsoever including but not limited to such arising out of or in anyway relating to the described Selling Agreement, as well as any other warranty or representation therein contained or in any related agreements or documents, and all claims arising by applicable statutes or otherwise at common law.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to resolve the issues raised or that could have been raised in the Litigation and to effectuate a full release of the Parties as hereinafter further described from one another, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.             Consideration.  Crdentia shall make the following payment in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)           Within ten (10) business days from the execution of this Settlement Agreement, Crdentia shall issue to Dawson, FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND (400,000)

A-1




shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), par value $0.001 per share, of Crdentia (the “Stock Consolidation”).

2.             Dawson shall immediately dismiss all claims against Crdentia with prejudice upon executing this Settlement Agreement or as soon as practicable thereafter with each party to bear their own attorney’s fees and cost. Further, except in connection with enforcement of this Settlement Agreement and/or the Registration Rights Agreement, Dawson and Crdentia shall not pursue any new litigation or claims against each other concerning the general subject matter of the Litigation.

3.             Registration Rights.  Concurrently with the execution of this Settlement Agreement, the Parties have entered into a registration rights agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with respect to the shares of Common Stock that comprises the Stock Consideration.

4.             Mutual Release of Claims.

(a)           Dawson hereby agrees for the benefit of Crdentia, and each officer, director, shareholder, agent, representative, affiliate, joint venturer, employee, member, partner, attorney, heir, assign, executor, spouse, administrator, insurer, predecessor and successor, past and present, of Crdentia (each such person being a “Released Crdentia Party” and all such persons being “Released Crdentia Parties”), as follows. Except for the obligations set forth in this Settlement Agreement as well as in the Registration Rights Agreement, Dawson, for themselves and for their members, partners, officers, directors, assigns, agents and successors, past and present, hereby agree and confirm that, effective from and after the Effective Date, they forever fully release and discharge each Released Crdentia Party of, and hold each Released Crdentia Party harmless from, any and all rights, claims, warranties, demands, debts, duties, obligations, liabilities fixed or contingent, costs, attorneys’ fees, damages, expenses, snits, liens, losses and causes of action (“Claims”) of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, existing or potential, arising or occurring any time or period of time on or prior to the date of the execution of this Settlement Agreement (including the future effects of such transactions, occurrences, conditions, acts or omissions), including, without limitation, any Claims arising under or in connection with the Selling Agreement dated October 5, 2005. Dawson acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those which they now know or believe to be true with respect to all or any portion of the Claims, and Dawson agrees that in such event, this release shall nonetheless be and remain effective in all respects, notwithstanding such different or additional facts or the discovery thereof.

(b)           Crdentia hereby agrees for the benefit of Dawson, and each officer, director, shareholder, agent, representative, affiliate, joint venturer, employee, partner, member, attorney, heir, assign, executor, administrator, insurer, predecessor and successor, past and present, of Dawson (each such person being a “Released Dawson Party” and all such persons being “Released Dawson Parties”), as follows.

A-2




Effective Date, they hereby acknowledge full and complete satisfaction of, and covenants not to sue, and forever fully release and discharge each Released Dawson Party of, and hold each Released Dawson Party harmless from, any and all Claims of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspcctcd, existing or potential, arising or occurring any time or period of time on or prior to the date of the execution of this Settlement Agreement (including the future effects of such transactions, occurrences, conditions, acts or omissions). Crdentia acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those which they now know or believe to be true with respect to all or any portion of the Claims, and Crdentia agrees that in such event, this release shall nonetheless be and remain effective in all respects, notwithstanding such different or additional facts or the discovery thereof.

(c)           The undersigned understand and agree that the Claims released by the Parties pursuant to Sections 4(a) and (b) above include not only those Claims presently known to Dawson and Crdentia but also include all unknown or unanticipated Claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations, liabilities, and causes of action of every kind and character that would otherwise come within the scope of the Claims as described above. Dawson and Crdentia understand that they may hereafter discover facts different from what they now believe to be true, which if known, could have materially affected this Release of Claims, but they nevertheless waive any Claims or rights based on different or additional facts.

5.             Default and Remedies.  In the event Crdentia fails to comply with any term or provision of this Settlement Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, then, in that event, in addition to any other rights or remedies which Dawson may have, Dawson shall be entitled, upon five (5) calendar days’ notice to Crdentia, to move for an immediate final judgment against Crdentia for damages in the amount of $250,000.00. Any such Motion to Enforce Settlement And For Damages may be brought on the Court’s earliest motion calendar, and the motion shall be deemed sufficient if merely signed by the attorney for Dawson and accompanied by an Affidavit of Default. Crdentia waives any and all defenses to such motion except strict compliance with this Settlement Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Crdentia further waives an evidentiary hearing on Dawson’s motion unless Crdentia files an Affidavit Opposing Default prior to the scheduled hearing on the motion in which Crdentia attests, under oath, that it has strictly complied with this Settlement Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Upon the filing of a Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commision by Crdentia, which includes the Shares, and provided that the Shares are not removed from the Registration Statement for any reason, this Default and Remedies Clause shall terminate.

Dawson shall he entitled to recover all of its attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in any proceeding whatsoever related to the obtaining, enforcement, registration, collection, post-judgment or appeal of a final judgment related to this Settlement Agreement and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.

10.           Investment Representations.

(a)           This Settlement Agreement is made in reliance upon Dawson’s representation to Crdentia, which by their acceptance hereof Dawson hereby confirms, that the Stock Consideration to be received by Dawson will be acquired for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Dawson has no present intention of selling,

A-4




granting participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Dawson also represents and warrants that it has sufficient business and financial experience to enable it to protect its own interests in connection with the issuance of the Stock Consideration hereunder.

(b)           Dawson is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Dawson believes that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to accept the Stock Consideration. Dawson further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Crdentia regarding the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of Crdentia.

(c)           Dawson understands that the Stock Consideration it is accepting hereunder is characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as it is being acquired from Crdentia in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Dawson represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understand the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. Dawson understands that the Stock Consideration has not been registered under the Act and has not been registered or qualified in any state in which it is offered, and thus Dawson will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer the Stock Consideration unless it is registered under the Act, or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

(d)           It is understood that the certificate(s) evidencing the Stock consideration shall bear the following legend:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.”

11.           Binding.  This Settlement Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns.

12.           Severability.  If any of the provisions in this Settlement Agreement are determined to be invalid by a court, arbitrator, or government agency of competent jurisdiction, it is agreed that such determination shall not affect the enforceability of the other provisions herein.

13.           Counterparts.  The Parties hereto may execute faxed copies of this Settlement Agreement, and exchange such executed copies via facsimile. Either party

A-5




may demand that the other party execute original copies at a future date, and such demand may be sought to be enforced by specific performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be no defense to the enforcement of this Settlement Agreement that the “original” Settlement Agreement is not produced, and all Parties waivt: “best evidence” objections with regard to this Settlement Agreement. In addition, two or more duplicate originals of this Settlement Agreement may be signed by the Parties hereto, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.           Survival.  The representations, warranties and covenants of the Parties hereto shall survive the execution of this Settlement Agreement and the payment of the Settlement Consideration.

15.           Entire Agreement; Modification.  This Settlement Agreement constitutes the entire understanding among the Parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral statements, agreements, understandings and/or negotiations regarding the subject matter herein. This Settlement Agreement may not be modified or amended in any way without the express written consent of the Parties.

16.           Fees and Expenses.  Except as set forth in this Settlement Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, each Party shall bear its own fees and expenses in connection with this Settlement Agreement.

17.           Governing Law.  This Settlement Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Florida to the rights and duties of the parties. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit itself to the jurisdiction of the State of Florida in the event any dispute arises out of this Settlement Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Settlement Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Settlement Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Settlement Agreement in any court other than the Circuit Courts of the State of Florida, and each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action in the Circuit Courts of the State of Florida, and (e) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such party is to receive notice.

18.           Notices.  All notices, requests, Claims, demands and other communications under this Settlement Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) upon personal delively, (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent via a nationally recognized overnight courier service if overnight courier service is requested or (ii) upon receipt of electronic or other confirmation of transmission if sent via facsimile, or (iii) immediately if sent via email in each case at the addresses, fax numbers

Crdentia Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

Note 1    Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Crdentia Corp (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a provider of healthcare staffing services in the United States.  Such services include travel nursing, per diem staffing, contractual clinical services, locum tenens (physician staffing), allied services (diagnostic imaging, respiratory, laboratory, therapies and administrative modalities), and private duty home health care.  The Company considers these services to be one segment.  Each of these services relate solely to providing healthcare staffing to customers and the Company utilizes common systems, databases, procedures, processes and similar methods of identifying and serving these customers.

At the beginning of 2003, the Company was a development stage company with no commercial operations. During that year, the Company pursued its operational plan of acquiring companies in the healthcare staffing field and completed the acquisition of four operating companies.  In 2003, the Company acquired Baker Anderson Christie, Inc., New Age Nurses, Inc., Nurses Network, Inc., and PSR Nurse Recruiting, Inc. and PSR Nurses Holdings Corp., which holds the limited partner and general partner interests in PSR Nurses, Ltd. to provide the foundation for future growth.  During 2004, the Company completed the acquisitions of Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. and Care Pros Staffing, Inc.  On March 29, 2005, the Company acquired TravMed USA, Inc. and Health Industry Professionals, LLC.  On May 4, 2005, the Company acquired Prime Staff, LP and Mint Medical Staffing Odessa.  In April 2006, the Company acquired the assets of Staff Search Ltd.

During 2006 the Company terminated the operations it acquired in 2003 from Baker Anderson Christie, Inc. and Nurses Network, Inc.  In addition, the Company returned to the sellers the shares of TravMed USA, Inc. that it had acquired from the sellers in March 2005 and the note payable to the sellers was cancelled.

The accompanying financial statements include the results of the wholly-owned subsidiaries discussed above from their respective dates of acquisition.  All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial data as of March 31, 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of March 31, 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 have been made.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the expected operating results for the full year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior year data to the current year presentation.

Going Concern

The Company generated a net loss of $6,589,080 and used cash in operations of $2,263,118 during the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Additionally, although the Company ended March 31, 2007 with a significant working capital deficit of $6,457,502, it was able to secure additional funding during the three months ended March 31, 2007 to finance its operations as it continued to attempt to execute its business plan and to acquire and grow companies involved in healthcare staffing.  The Company will need to raise additional funds during the next twelve months to satisfy debt service requirements and working capital needs.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the amount of debt or equity capital required to meet its objectives.  The Company’s challenging financial circumstances may make the terms, conditions and cost of any available capital unfavorable.  If additional debt or equity capital is not readily available, the Company will be forced to scale back its acquisition activities and its operations.  This would result in an overall slowdown of the Company’s development.  The Company’s short-term need for capital may force it to consider and potentially pursue other strategic options sooner than it might otherwise have desired.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management has taken a number of steps to address the Company’s financial performance and to improve cash flow.  Management has refinanced a majority of the Company’s debt with new debt that has a lower interest rate, restructured the operating management team, and implemented programs to obtain expense savings which have provided the Company with access to additional working capital.  The Company’s new Chief Executive Officer has strong operations experience and will devote constant attention toward expense reduction and achieving growth both organically and through acquisitions so that the Company can spread its corporate overhead over a larger base of business and achieve economies of scale.  However, there can be no assurances that these programs will be successful.

Earnings Per Share

Basic per share data has been computed on the loss attributable to common stockholders for each quarter divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each quarter (excluding the restricted common stock issued to certain officers in 2005 and 2007).  Diluted earnings per common share includes both the weighted average number of common shares and any dilutive common share equivalents such as convertible securities, options or warrants in the calculation.  As the Company recorded net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, common share equivalents outstanding would be anti-dilutive, and as such, have not been included in diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  Common share equivalents that were excluded in the March 31, 2007 calculation totaled 5,522,321 shares (5,332,563 were excluded in the March 31, 2006 calculation).

Income Taxes

In January 2007, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements.  FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements.  It also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties.  The Company did not recognize any adjustments to its financial statements as a result of its implementation of FIN 48.

On April 18, 2006 the Company acquired the assets of Staff Search Ltd. for $2,386,174, including acquisition costs.  The Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,410,000 and issued 229,128 shares of its common stock valued at $976,174 (determined by the average of $4.26 per share which approximates the average trading value as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board for the three days before and three days after the acquisition date).  Subsequently, the promissory note was purchased from the seller by the Company’s significant stockholder.  During 2006 and 2007, the significant stockholder distributed $158,403 of the promissory note to unrelated parties to settle certain obligations of the significant stockholder.  The promissory note accrues interest at a rate equal to 8.00% per annum.  The principal amount of the note owed at March 31, 2007 ($546,597 owed to MedCap Partners, L.P. and $705,000 owed to MedCap Master Fund L.P.), plus all accrued interest ($100,128 at March 31, 2007), is payable upon demand.  The principal amount of the note owed to unrelated parties at March 31, 2007 ($158,403), plus all accrued interest, is payable upon demand after January 1, 2008.  The notes include

7




events of default (with grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, payment of all amounts due under the notes shall become immediately payable.  The primary purpose of the acquisition was to enable the Company to expand its market share in the nurse staffing industry.  The following table summarizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date:

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  Customer related intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful life of five years.  The purchase price allocated to customer relationships was determined by management’s estimate based on a consistent model for all acquisitions and was initially developed by a professional valuation group.  Goodwill represents the excess of merger consideration over the fair value of assets acquired.  The Company will be required to pay additional cash and issue additional shares of its common stock to the former stockholder of Staff Search Ltd. should its results of operations exceed performance standards established in the merger agreement.  If results of operations for Staff Search Ltd. fall below performance standards established in the merger agreement, the former stockholder of Staff Search Ltd. is required to return certain amounts of the Company’s common stock that were issued in connection with the acquisition.  The goodwill acquired will be amortized for federal income tax purposes.

Note 3    iVOW, Inc.

On September 20, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with iVOW, Inc. (“iVOW”), a provider of services to employers, payors and unions to facilitate weight loss programs on a per patient direct basis.  In connection with Crdentia’s entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company also entered into an Interim Management Agreement (“IMA”), pursuant to which the Company had the sole and exclusive responsibility, authority and discretion to (a) conduct, manage, direct and control all aspects of the business and operations of iVOW and (b) utilize iVOW’s cash and working capital to defray Crdentia’s expenses and the expenses of iVOW, prior to the closing of the merger.  Pursuant to the original Merger Agreement, the termination date of the Merger Agreement and IMA was December 31, 2006.  Crdentia and iVOW executed an amendment to the Merger Agreement on December 29, 2006, which extended the termination date for the merger and IMA to March 31, 2007.  In

8




April 2007, the Company negotiated a Settlement Agreement with iVOW pursuant to which Crdentia and iVOW agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement and release the other party from any and all claims arising under the Merger Agreement and related agreements, including the IMA.  The Company issued iVOW 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in April 2007.  All negotiations with respect to a possible merger between Crdentia and iVOW have been terminated.  At March 31, 2007 the Company has recorded $700,693 as due to iVOW which represents amounts advanced by iVOW to Crdentia.  The $700,693 due to iVOW, and other value attributed to the Settlement Agreement approximates the fair market value of the 1,500,000 shares issued in April 2007.

Note 4    Settlement of Acquisition Claim

In 2005, the Company asserted a claim against a seller of one of the Company’s 2003 acquisitions.  In January 2006, the Company and the seller settled with the seller returning 59,150 shares of the Company’s common stock that had been issued in connection with the acquisition.  The Company reported a gain on settlement of acquisition claim of $1,064,693 representing the fair value of the stock returned on the date of the settlement.  The offset to the gain recorded was a reduction in common stock and additional paid-in capital.  The returned shares were retired immediately.

Note 6    Revolving Line of Credit

On June 16, 2004, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC (“Bridge Healthcare”), pursuant to which the Company obtained a revolving credit facility of up to $15,000,000 (the “Loan”).  During the first quarter of 2005, the Loan was reduced to $10,000,000 permitting the Company to lower its effective interest rate through lower unused line fees.  The Loan had an original term of three years and bore interest at a rate equal to the greater of three percent (3.0%) per annum over the prime rate or nine and one-half percent (9.5%) per annum.  In December 2006, Bridge Healthcare increased the rate charged to the Company by 4% over the rate specified in the agreement to 15.25%.  Interest was payable monthly.  Accounts receivable served as security for the Loan and the Loan was subject to certain financial and reporting covenants.  Customer payments were used to repay the advances on the Loan after deducting charges for interest expense, unused line and account management fees.  Except in certain limited circumstances, the Loan could not be prepaid in full without incurring a significant prepayment penalty.  The financial covenants were for the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum debt service coverage ratios, minimum EBITDA, maximum capital expenditure limits and maximum operating lease obligations.

During 2006, Bridge Healthcare made $2,425,000 available to the Company in the form of over-advances on the Loan.  The over-advances were used for working capital purposes.  The $2,425,000 of over-advances were partially secured by a guaranty from MedCap Partners L.P. (“MedCap”), Crdentia’s significant stockholder, partially secured by a personal guarantee from C. Fred Toney, Crdentia’s current Chairman of the board of directors, and the managing member of MedCap Management & Research LLC, the general partner of MedCap, and partially secured by a personal guarantee from James D. Durham, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former Chairman of the Board.  Bridge Healthcare charged the Company monthly fees in excess of normal Loan interest charges for all over-advances. As discussed in Note 9, over-advances of $2,400,000 were refinanced with bank debt in early 2007 and the remaining $25,000 was repaid in early 2007.

9




The Loan included events of default (with grace periods as applicable) and provided that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Loan, including the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Loan could be accelerated.  There were also cross default provisions between the Loan and the Term Loan discussed below.  Financial covenants were violated in a number of instances including at December 31, 2006 which had no continuing significance since all debt with this lender has been refinanced with either bank debt as discussed in the preceding paragraph or a working capital facility as discussed in Note 8.

Note 7    Notes Payable to Lender

Pursuant to a loan agreement dated August 31, 2004, the Company obtained a term loan credit facility (“Term Loan”) in the amount up to $10,000,000 from Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC, an affiliate of Bridge Healthcare.  The Company obtained certain loans under the agreement to fund permitted acquisitions.  Any loans obtained under the Term Loan were due and payable in full on August 31, 2007 and required interest at the rate of fifteen and one-quarter percent (15.25%) per annum.  Interest was payable monthly.  The Term Loan was secured by all of the Company’s assets.  On August 31, 2004, the Company received proceeds from the Term Loan of $2,697,802 for the acquisitions of Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. and Care Pros Staffing, Inc.

The Term Loan required that the Company issue warrants to purchase shares of common stock to the lender up to 12% of the Company’s overall capitalization on the date of borrowing.  On August 31, 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase 90,578 shares of common stock at a price of $31.50 per share in connection with the first borrowing under the credit facility.  As a result, the Term Loan has been recorded net of a discount of $810,000 which represents the estimated fair market value related to the warrants at the date of issuance.  The discount was amortized to interest expense over the life of the Term Loan.  During the first quarter of 2006, the Company used proceeds from a private offering as discussed in Note 11 to repay $1,350,000 of the Term Loan.  As a result of this repayment, the Company recorded $200,168 of additional interest relating to the proportionate amount of unamortized discount associated with the repayment.  During the second quarter of 2006, Bridge Healthcare demanded further repayments of the Term Loan amounting to $300,000 and future monthly principal payments of $45,742 until the Term Loan was paid in full.  The Term Loan was paid off in full in early 2007 as discussed in Note 8.

The Term Loan contained certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum debt service coverage ratios, minimum EBITDA, maximum capital expenditure limits and maximum operating lease obligations.  Financial covenants were violated in a number of instances including at December 31, 2006 which have no continuing significance since all debt with this lender has been refinanced.  The Term Loan was classified as a current liability on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 because of the covenant violations.  The Company was charged fees by Bridge for the various compliance violations and related waivers granted during 2005, 2006 and 2007.  The Term Loan included events of default (with grace periods as applicable) and provided that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Term Loan, including the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Term Loan could be accelerated.  There were also cross default provisions between the Term Loan and the Loan.

Note 8    Working Capital Facility

On February 8, 2007, the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement - Revolving Loans, dated May 16, 2005, as amended by and among Crdentia, its Subsidiaries and Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC, and the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement - Term Loan, dated May 16, 2005, as amended, by and among Crdentia, its Subsidiaries and Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC, were terminated, along with all related loan documents (including, without limitation, promissory notes and pledge agreements).  In connection with this termination, Crdentia and its subsidiaries paid to Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC and Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC all principal outstanding under the Bridge Loan Agreements (approximately $3.9 million), all accrued and unpaid interest under the Bridge Loan Agreements (approximately $14,000) and certain fees (including a Make-Whole Fee of $490,000).  In

10




addition to the Make-Whole fee of $490,000, the Company also wrote-off $84,012 of deferred financing fees and $60,150 of debt discount associated with warrants issued to Bridge Healthcare Finance.  Crdentia and its Subsidiaries released Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC and Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC from any claims relating to any matter, including the Bridge Loan Agreements.

On February 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $10 million working capital facility with Systran Financial Services Corporation (“Systran”), a subsidiary of Textron Financial Corporation.  Pursuant to the agreements, Systran agreed, at its sole discretion, to purchase certain receivables from the Company on a recourse basis.  The agreements anticipate a minimum volume of purchases and also contemplate the payment of certain service fees, including a minimum fee.  To secure the payment and performance of Crdentia’s obligations to Systran under the agreements, Crdentia granted Systran a security interest in all of its assets.  Crdentia also agreed to indemnify Systran against any liabilities arising out of claims relating to the receivables purchased by Systran under the agreements.  The agreements have an initial term of 48 months, and Crdentia is obligated to pay Systran an early termination premium in the event the agreements are terminated under certain circumstances prior to the end of the term.  Proceeds from this facility were used to refinance the revolving line of credit and note payable with Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC.  The balance due under this facility at March 31, 2007 was $4,056,383.

The agreements include events of default (with grace periods, as applicable) and provide that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Systran may immediately collect any obligation owing to Systran under the agreements.  The Company is currently in compliance with all provisions of the agreements.

Note 9    Master Revolving Note

On January 19, 2007, Crdentia delivered a Master Revolving Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $2.4 million to Comerica Bank.  Proceeds from the borrowing were used to refinance the over-advance amount outstanding under the revolving line of credit with Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC.  The Note requires principal payments of $125,000 on March 31, 2007, $100,000 on June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 and has a final maturity date of January 31, 2008.  The Note bears interest at a per annum rate equal to Comerica’s base rate from time to time in effect minus one-half of one (1/2%) percent (8% at March 31, 2007).  The Note is secured by, and Comerica was granted a security interest in, all items deposited in Crdentia’s account with Comerica.  The Note includes events of default and provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Comerica may, at its option and without prior notice to Crdentia, declare any or all of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note immediately due and payable.  The Company is currently is compliance with all provisions of the agreement.  The balance due under this facility at March 31, 2007 was $2,400,000.

As security for Crdentia’s prompt and complete payment of its obligations under the Note, (i) James D. Durham, Crdentia’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pledged and granted to Comerica a security interest in all of his right, title and interest in and to a $600,000 certificate of deposit with Comerica, (ii) MedCap Partners LP (“MedCap”) pledged and granted to Comerica a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to a $250,000 certificate of deposit with Comerica, and (iii) C. Fred Toney, Crdentia’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and the managing member of MedCap Management and Research LLC, the general partner of MedCap, pledged and granted to Comerica a security interest in all of his right, title and interest in and to a $1,125,000 certificate of deposit with Comerica.  In addition, MedCap delivered a Guaranty to Comerica pursuant to which it agreed to unconditionally and absolutely guarantee to Comerica payment when due of all existing and future indebtedness of Crdentia to Comerica.

Note 10  Notes Payable

As discussed in Note 2, the Company has demand notes totaling $546,597 at March 31, 2007 due to MedCap Partners L.P. and $705,000 at March 31, 2007 due to MedCap Master Fund L.P.  Related party interest expense of $100,128 has been included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  The remaining principal amount totaling $158,403 at March 31, 2007 is due to unrelated parties.

Note 11  Subordinated Debentures

In January 2006, the Company completed a private placement totaling $4 million.  The first phase was completed on December 30, 2005 and consisted of $2 million, or 333,333 shares of common stock and the second phase consisted of $2 million of 8% convertible debentures.  The convertible debentures have a term of three years and bear interest at a rate of 8% per year, payable semi-annually in cash or registered stock at the Company’s option. $765,000 of debentures are outstanding at March 31, 2007.

The debentures were initially convertible into common stock at a price of $6.00 per share (currently $0.60 as discussed below).  The sale of convertible debentures included common stock warrant coverage allowing debenture holders to exercise warrants to purchase 500,000 common shares.  Warrants to purchase 166,667 common shares have a five year term and an exercise price of $7.50 per share.  Warrants to purchase 333,333 common shares at an exercise price of $6.00 per share expired on June 14, 2006 with none being exercised.  The Company computed the relative fair value of the warrants at $1,443,265 and the beneficial conversion feature related to the debentures at $556,735, and recorded these amounts as a discount to the debentures which is being amortized over the term of the debentures.

Terms of an agreement with the placement agent representing the Company required placement fees upon a private placement of at least $5 million.  Although the minimum was not achieved, fees have been accrued and warrants recorded based on the lower amount of funding.  Per the terms of the agreement, $589,722 was recorded as deferred financing costs associated with the debentures and $294,867 was recorded as an offset to proceeds from the equity portion of the funding.  The $589,722 is being amortized over the three year term of the debentures.  A portion of the placement fees were warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $6.00 per share.  The warrants have a five year life and were valued at $629,589 ($419,722 recorded as deferred financing costs and $209,867 recorded as an offset to proceeds from the equity offering).  The warrants have been valued on the date of the closing; however, the Company has not yet issued these warrants and therefore has recorded a liability of $629,589 at March 31, 2007.  The remaining portion of the fee totaling $255,000 is to be paid in cash ($235,000 accrued and $20,000 paid as of March 31, 2007).

On February 16, 2006, a holder of the debentures converted $260,000 of the debentures into 43,333 shares of the Company’s common stock.  On October 6, 2006, a holder of the debentures converted $76,000 of the debentures into 12,666 shares of the Company’s common stock.  In March 2007, three of the five debenture holders exchanged $899,000 of their debentures for 1,498,333 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company issued 44,311 shares of its common stock as payment of $14,948 of accrued interest due to the debenture holders through the date of the exchange.  The Company recognized expense in the amount of $161,654 relating to the deferred financing fees associated with the converted and exchanged debentures and expense in the amount of $595,720 related to the proportionate share of the unamortized discount on the converted and exchanged debentures.  Under terms of the debenture agreements, all debenture holders are now permitted to exchange their debentures for shares of the Company’s common stock at $.60 per share, the price at which the Company sold its stock in the private placement offering mentioned below.  At December 31, 2006, due to cross default provisions in the debenture agreement and the violation of covenants with the Bridge Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan (as discussed in Notes 6 and 7), the Company classified the debentures as a current liability.  At March 31, 2007, with the refinancing of all Bridge facilities with the Working Capital Facility from Systran and the Master Revolving Note from Comerica (as discussed in Notes 8 and 9) and the Company’s compliance with all provision of these agreements, the Company has classified the debentures as a long-term liability.

The Company was obligated to register the shares (including the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures and exercise of the warrants) for resale on a registration statement.

Note 12  Common Stock and Stock Options

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company completed four closings of a private placement pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement for 5,333,333 common shares at a price of $0.60 per share, with aggregate gross proceeds of $3,200,000.  The Board of Directors of the Company has

12




authorized the sale of up to $5,000,000 in common stock in all closings of the private placement which will have a final close in May 2007.  Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to cause a resale registration statement covering the shares to be filed within 30 days of the May 2007 final close.

MedCap Partners L.P. invested $975,000 in the private placement for 1,625,000 shares of common stock, MedCap Master Fund L.P. invested $25,000 in the private placement for 41,667 shares and C. Fred Toney, Chairman of the board of directors, individually invested $1,550,000 in the private placement for 2,583,333 shares of common stock.  Mr. Toney abstained from the board of directors’ vote in favor of the private placement.

Employee Stock Options and Restricted Stock Grants

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Board granted options to purchase 193,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to employees under the 2004 Plan.  The exercise price for these options is $0.42, the stock’s trading price on the date granted. There were no stock options exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

See Note 13 below for a discussion of the Stock Options and Restricted Stock Grants associated with the severance agreement with the Company’s former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer as well as Restricted Stock Grant awarded to the Company’s new Director and Chief Executive Officer.

Note 13  Retirement of Chairman of the Board of Director and Chief Executive Officer

On March 6, 2007, James D. Durham, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, announced his retirement, and the Company accepted his resignation and retirement, effective March 1, 2007.  Mr. Durham also stepped down as Chairman of the Board and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective March 1, 2007.  Mr. Durham will serve as a consultant to the Company through October 2007.  In connection with Mr. Durham’s resignation, Mr. Durham and the Company executed a Severance Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims, effective March 14, 2007.  The Severance Agreement provides for, among other things: (a) payment of an additional $60,161 within three days of the effective date of the Severance Agreement; (b) payment of $31,667 per month during the eight month consulting period; (c) payment of a lump sum severance amount of $250,000 within seven business days of November 1, 2007; (d) an additional grant of an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share; (e) continuation of health insurance coverage for a 24 month period following the effective date; and (f) vesting in the restricted stock awards granted to Mr. Durham on March 24, 2006 and May 31, 2005 will continue during the period Mr. Durham provides consulting services and shall cease as of October 31, 2007.  At March 31, 2007 the Company has accrued liabilities of $503,333 related to the future cash payments associated with the Severance Agreement and has recorded compensation expense of $1,715,177 associated with the option and vesting of the restricted stock.

The Company and Mr. Durham had previously entered into an employment agreement effective August 1, 2002, as amended by the Amendment to Employment Agreement effective August 1, 2004 and the Second Amendment to Employment Agreement effective as of November 8, 2005.  Mr. Durham’s employment agreement, as amended, has been terminated in connection with his resignation and entry into the Severance Agreement.

The Severance Agreement did not affect the two cash bonuses in the amount of $540,000 each that were granted to Mr. Durham in 2003 and are due on December 31, 2008 and January 4, 2009.  The carrying amount of this liability is $925,523 at March 31, 2007.

The Board of Directors of the Company elected C. Fred Toney, a current director, as Chairman of the Board of Directors effective March 1, 2007, replacing Mr. Durham and the Board of Directors appointed John Kaiser to be the Chief Executive Officer effective March 26, 2007.  The Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with John Kaiser pursuant to which the Company has issued Mr. Kaiser 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $900,000 which will be recorded as compensation expense over the vesting period.  Twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares will vest after twelve months and one-thirty-sixth (1/36th) of the remaining unvested shares shall vest at the end of the 13th month and each month thereafter, such that the shares will be one hundred percent (100%) vested after 48 months of continuous services.  In the event of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Shares shall automatically become fully vested and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights on the six (6) month anniversary of the effective date of such Corporate Transaction (the “Transition Period”), subject to Mr. Kaiser remaining in Continuous Service with the Company or its successor for the purpose of providing acquisition and transition support to the Company or its successor throughout the Transition Period; provided, however, that if the Company or its successor terminates the Mr. Kaiser’s Continuous Service without Cause prior to the end of the Transition Period, all outstanding Shares shall become fully vested and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights on such termination date.

Note 15  Litigation

The following is a list of claims that are in settlement discussions or were settled subsequent to March 31, 2007.

Crdentia Corp. and CRDE Corp. v. Robert Litton and Steve Williams; Cause No. 3-06-CV-1182-R; Pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas-Dallas Division.

On January 27, 2006, Crdentia Corp. and CRDE Corp. filed suit against Robert Litton and Steve Williams, the former owners of TravMed, asserting claims for breach of non-competition/solicitation agreements,

14




breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with existing and prospective contracts and business relations, and declaratory relief arising out of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of March 28, 2005.  Among other things, the Company alleged that the defendants violated their non-competition agreements that they executed in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by diverting business opportunities to a competing business.  The Company sought an undisclosed amount of damages.  The defendants filed counterclaims against Crdentia alleging breach of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and conversion.  The Company began negotiating a settlement in March 2007 and anticipates it will pay $575,000 in the form of a thirty-six month note in exchange for the defendants agreeing to pay certain payables on Crdentia’s behalf.  The Company anticipates that the note will bear interest at 10% for the first eighteen months and 5% for the second eighteen months.  Monthly interest payments will be required for the first eighteen months and principal and interest payments in the second eighteen months will be required which will fully amortize the obligation.  This liability is included in other long-term liabilities at March 31, 2007.

Crdentia Corp., CRDE Corp., and Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. v. William W. Crocker and William C. Crocker;  Cause No. 06-01050-L;  Pending in the 193rd Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas.

On January 31, 2006, Crdentia Corp., CRDE Corp., and Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. filed suit against William W. Crocker and William C. Crocker, the former owners of Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc., asserting claims for fraud, indemnity, and declaratory relief arising out of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated August 6, 2004 and a Receivable Allocation Agreement entered into in connection therewith.  Among other things, the Company alleged that, prior to entering the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the defendants failed to disclose that certain key employees had planned to leave the company and that the defendants requested and/or instructed such employees not to leave prior to the closing of the merger.  The Company also alleged that the defendants failed to disclose that their company did not possess certain state licenses necessary to conduct a portion of its business.  The Company sought an undisclosed amount of damages.  This case was settled in April 2007 as discussed below under “William W. Crocker v. Crdentia Corp.”

William W. Crocker, an individual, v. Crdentia Corp., a Delaware Corporation, and Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc., an Arizona Corporation, Cause No. 06C-02-226, pending in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in and for Castle County.

On February 23, 2006, William W. Crocker filed suit against Crdentia Corp. and Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. asserting claims for declaratory judgment, breach of contract, and conversion arising from a Receivable Allocation Agreement executed incident to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated August 6, 2006.  Mr Crocker sought damages in the principal sum of $251,150, which was comprised of $114,019 for collected accounts receivable and eighty percent (80%) of $171,414 of uncollected accounts receivable, plus attorneys’ fees.  The Company settled this case in April 2007.  The Company agreed to issue 312,500 shares of common stock (valued at $159,375 based on the trading value of stock on April 9, 2007) in exchange for Crdentia retaining the proceeds from the collection of certain receivables that it collected on behalf of Mr. Crocker.  The Company has recorded this liability in accounts payable and accrued expenses at March 31, 2007.

Dawson James Securities, Inc. v. Crdentia Corp., Case No. 50 2006CA002708XXXXMB, pending in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial District, Palm Beach County, Florida.

On March 22, 2006, Dawson James filed suit against Crdentia Corp. seeking fees in connection with raising investment capital for Crdentia.  Dawson James contended that under terms of a contract they were owed cash of $235,000 and 50,000 warrants to purchase Crdentia stock.  The Company settled this case in April 2007.  The Company agreed to issue 400,000 shares of common stock (valued at $160,000 based on the trading value of stock on April 13, 2007) in full payment of the obligation.  At March 31, 2007, the Company has recorded an accrual of $864,589 for the fair value of warrants to be issued plus an expected cash payment.  This accrual will be reduced in April 2007 to reflect the above settlement in stock.

Note 16  Subsequent Events

Private Placement

Subsequent to March 31, 2007, the Company completed three closings of a private placement pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement for 1,083,333 shares at a price of $0.60 per share, with aggregate proceeds of $650,000.  The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the sale of up to $5,000,000 in common stock in all closings of the private placement which will have a final close in May, 2007.  Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to cause a resale registration statement covering the shares to be filed within 30 days of the final May 2007 closing.

Stock Options and Restricted Stock Grants

On May 4, 2007, the Company issued 400,000 shares of restricted common stock to two members of the Board of Directors and granted an option to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.49 per share to one member of the Board of Directors.  The restricted shares vest 50% on May 4, 2008 and 50% on May 4, 2009; the option is exercisable with respect to 50% of the shares subject to such option on May 4, 2008 and 50% of the shares subject to such option on May 4, 2009.  The issuance of the restricted common stock or option is compensation to these board members for future services.

 

Also on May 4, 2007, the Company granted certain employees options to purchase 218,031 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.49.  The vesting period and dates of vesting of the shares of common stock subject to the options is identical to vesting periods and dates of vesting provided for in all options granted to these certain employees in the past.

Introduction

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations.

Overview

We are a provider of healthcare staffing services, focusing on the areas of travel nursing, per diem staffing, contractual clinical services, locum tenens (physician staffing), allied services and private duty home care.  Our travel nurses are recruited domestically as well as internationally, and placed on temporary assignments at healthcare facilities across the United States.  Our per diem nurses are local nurses placed at healthcare facilities on short-term assignments.  Our contractual clinical services group provides complete clinical management and staffing for healthcare facilities.  Under our locum tenens program, physicians contract with us to perform medical services for healthcare organizations for a specified length of time.  Our allied services primarily consist of diagnostic imaging, respiratory, laboratory, therapies and administrative modalities and our private duty home care group provides nursing case management and staffing for skilled and non-skilled care in the home.  We consider the different services described above to be one segment as each of these services relate solely to providing healthcare staffing to customers that are

16




healthcare providers and utilize similar distribution methods, common systems, databases, procedures, processes and similar methods of identifying and serving these customers.

We did not have any revenue in 2003 until we completed our first acquisition in August 2003.  During 2003 we began operating four newly acquired companies, combining the various back offices and support staff into a central location and began streamlining the operations.  We have continued to pursue our operational plan of acquiring companies in the healthcare staffing field and purchased two companies in 2004, three companies in 2005 and one company in 2006.

During 2006 we terminated the operations we had acquired in 2003 from Baker Anderson Christie, Inc. and Nurses Network, Inc.  In addition, in May 2006 we returned to the sellers the shares of TravMed USA, Inc. that we had acquired from the sellers in March 2005 in connection with our acquisition of that company, and our notes payable to the sellers were cancelled.

Some key factors we are focusing on to improve performance are as follows:

·                  We continue to identify innovative ways to attract and retain nurses.

·                  We are vigorously managing the amounts billed to healthcare facilities in relation to the payroll cost of our nurses in an effort to improve gross margins.

·                  We are managing selling, general and administrative costs at our field office locations to limit these expenses to no more than 10% of the revenue at each location.

·                  We are aggressively expanding our locum tenens business, our allied services and our home health business in an effort to improve gross margins through a better mix of the services provided.

·                  We are devoting constant attention toward achieving growth both organically and through acquisitions so that we can spread our corporate overhead over a larger base of business and achieve economies of scale.

·                  We are seeking to raise equity capital to provide for working capital needs and to continue to pursue acquisitions.

·                  We are seeking to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Market or another national exchange (our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board).

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded several costs which are of a non-recurring nature, including the following:

 

·      Future cash severance costs associated with our former Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $503,333 recorded as selling, general and administrative costs.

·      Stock compensation costs associated with our former Chief Executive Officer’s severance and the accelerated vesting of restricted stock in the amount of $3,024,177.

·      Prepayment penalty and the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with refinancing our term note and revolving credit facility and costs associated with the conversion and exchange of a portion of our debentures for a total of $1,391,538 recorded as interest costs.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006

Revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $9,020,437 compared to revenues of $8,984,823 in the three months ended March 31, 2006.  Revenues have increased in 2007 compared to 2006 due principally to our acquisition of Staff Search Ltd. in April 2006.  However, the increase in revenue due to our acquisition was offset in part by decreases in revenue related to closing portions of our operations in California and to the loss of customers related to litigation surrounding the TravMed acquisition.  In 2007 approximately 15.9% (36.1% in 2006) of our revenue was derived from the placement of travel nurses on assignment, typically 13 weeks in length.  Such assignments generally involve temporary relocation to the geographic area of the assignment.  We also provide per diem nurses to satisfy the very short-term needs of healthcare facilities.  Per diem services provided 71.5% of our revenue in 2007 (56.2% in 2006).  The remaining amount of our revenue in 2007 came from providing staffing to healthcare facilities, private duty homecare, locum tenens revenue and allied services.  In 2006 the remaining revenue came from providing clinical management and staffing to healthcare facilities and private duty homecare.  During 2007 and 2006, most of our customers were acute care hospitals located throughout the continental United States.

Our overall gross profit in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1,916,932 or 21.3% of revenues compared to $1,749,304 or 19.5% of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2006.  Our gross profit is the difference between the revenue we realize when we bill our customers for the services of our healthcare professionals and our direct operating costs, which include the cost of the healthcare

18




professionals and the related housing and travel costs, certain employment related taxes, professional liability insurance, health insurance for professionals and workers compensation insurance coverage.

Our selling, general and administrative costs were $3,007,834 or 33.3% of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $2,600,785 or 28.9% of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2006.  Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of certain personnel costs, legal and accounting fees related to being a public company and various other office and administrative expenses.  In 2007, we accrued $503,333 of expenses related to a severance agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer.

Non-cash stock based compensation costs were $3,391,392 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $378,260 in the three months ended March 31, 2006.  In 2006, the volume of trading in the Company’s stock triggered accelerated vesting of some of the restricted shares and caused the Company to begin amortizing the cost of the restricted grants over a shorter period of time beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006.  In addition, the severance agreement for our former Chief Executive Officer included the granting of an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s stock vesting immediately and accelerated vesting of restricted grants.  Expense of $3,024,177 associated with the accelerated vesting of the restricted stock and the severance agreement was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest costs were $2,106,786 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $1,193,539 in the three months ended March 31, 2006.  This increase in interest cost is due to a prepayment penalty and the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the refinancing of our term note and revolving credit facility with Bridge Finance and costs associated with the conversion of a portion of our debentures for a total of $1,391,538.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, we have incurred losses from operations and have reported negative cash flows.  As of March 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $125,875,468 and cash and cash equivalents of $316,479.  We have financed our operations primarily through private placements of equity and debt securities and through credit facilities, including our current facility with Systran Financial Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Textron Financial Corporation and a term loan with Comerica Bank.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company completed four closings of a private placement pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement for 5,333,333 shares at a price of $0.60 per share, with aggregate proceeds of $3,200,000.  During the months of April and May 2007 the Company completed three additional closings for 1,083,332 shares at a price of $0.60 per share, with aggregate proceeds of $650,000.  The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the sale of up to $5,000,000 in common stock in all closings of the private placement which will have a final close in May 2007.  Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to cause a resale registration statement covering the shares to be filed within 30 days of the May 2007 final close.

On February 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $10 million working capital facility with Systran Financial Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Textron Financial Corporation.  Pursuant to the agreements, Systran agreed, at its sole discretion, to purchase certain receivables from the Company on a recourse basis.  The agreements anticipate a minimum volume of purchases and also contemplate the payment of certain service fees, including a minimum fee.  To secure the payment and performance of Crdentia’s obligations to Systran under the agreements, Crdentia granted Systran a security interest in all of its assets.  Crdentia also agreed to indemnify Systran against any liabilities arising out of claims relating to the receivables purchased by Systran under the agreements.  The agreements have an initial term of 48 months, and Crdentia is obligated to pay Systran an early termination premium in the event the agreements are terminated under certain circumstances prior to the end of the term.

The agreements include events of default (with grace periods, as applicable) and provide that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Systran may immediately collect any obligation owing to Systran under the agreements.  The Company is currently in compliance with all provisions of the agreements.

19




On January 19, 2007, Crdentia delivered a Master Revolving Note in the amount of $2.4 million to Comerica Bank.  Proceeds from the borrowing were used to refinance the over-advance amount outstanding under the revolving line of credit with Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC.  The Note has principle payments of $125,000 on March 31, 2007, $100,000 on June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 and has a final maturity date of January 31, 2008 and bears interest at a per annum rate equal to Comerica’s base rate from time to time in effect minus one-half of one (1/2%) percent (8% at March 31, 2007).  The Note is secured by, and Comerica was granted a security interest in, all items deposited in Crdentia’s account with Comerica.  The Note includes events of default and provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Comerica may, at its option and without prior notice to Crdentia, declare any or all of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note immediately due and payable.  The Company is currently in compliance with all provisions of the agreement.

As security for Crdentia’s prompt and complete payment of its obligations under the Master Revolving Note, (i) James D. Durham, Crdentia’s then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pledged and granted to Comerica a security interest in all of his right, title and interest in and to a $600,000 certificate of deposit with Comerica, (ii) MedCap Partners LP (“MedCap”) pledged and granted to Comerica a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to a $250,000 certificate of deposit with Comerica, and (iii) C. Fred Toney, Crdentia’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and the managing member of MedCap Management and Research LLC, the general partner of MedCap, pledged and granted to Comerica a security interest in all of his right, title and interest in and to a $1,125,000 certificate of deposit with Comerica.  In addition, MedCap delivered a Guaranty to Comerica pursuant to which it agreed to unconditionally and absolutely guarantee to Comerica payment when due of all existing and future indebtedness of Crdentia to Comerica.

We do not expect to reach cash flow positive operations in 2007, and we expect to continue to generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future.  We will need to raise at least $2,000,000 by March 31, 2008 (of which a significant amount will need to be raised by June 30, 2007) in order to satisfy our working capital needs.  If we are not able to raise these funds we may be unable to meet our payroll costs.  In addition, we will need to raise additional funds in the future in order to finance our future capital needs.  There is no assurance that we will be able to raise the amount of debt or equity capital required to meet our objectives.  Our challenging financial circumstances may make the terms, conditions and cost of any available capital relatively unfavorable.  If additional debt or equity capital is not readily available, we may not be able to operate our business, and we will be forced to scale back our acquisition activities and our operations.  Our short-term need for capital may force us to consider and potentially pursue other strategic options sooner than we might otherwise have desired.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has taken a number of steps to address our financial performance and improve cash flow.  In the first quarter of 2007, we raised an additional $3,200,000 in equity through four closings of a private placement and refinanced the Loan, the Term Loan and the over-advances on the Loan.  Proceeds of the equity raised early in 2007 were used for working capital purposes and costs related to debt refinancing.  Management is devoting constant attention toward achieving growth both organically and through acquisitions so that we can spread our corporate overhead over a larger base of business and achieve economies of scale.  However, there can be no assurance that these programs will be successful.  If unsuccessful, we could be unable to fund payroll costs and could ultimately fail.

Cash Flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we used cash in operations of $2,263,118, compared to $1,237,022 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.  Although we ended March 31, 2007 with a significant working capital deficit of $6,457,502 we were able to secure additional funding during this period to finance our operations.  The increased amount of cash used in operations in 2007 compared to 2006 is directly attributable to the increased net loss recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

20




Net cash used in investing activities was $33,340 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $13, 452 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.  The amounts for both periods relate predominately to purchases of property and equipment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we financed our working capital requirements primarily through the sale of common stock, convertible debentures and through loans and credit facilities.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,414,869 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $964,231 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.  In 2007, we received $2,400,000 from a note payable to lender and $3,152,381 from the issuance of common stock in private placements.  These funds were used to fund operations and pay-off the over-advance and note payable to lender.  In 2006, we received $2,000,000 in the private placement of 8% convertible debentures and short- and long-term warrants as well as $1,150,000 through the issuance of common stock in private placements.  These funds were used to repay $1,350,000 of note payable to lender, repay $12,500 of subordinated convertible notes and decrease our revolving line of credit by $823,269.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  Areas that require significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions include the assignment of fair values upon acquisition of goodwill and other intangible assets, testing for impairment of long-lived assets and valuation of the stock used to consummate our acquisitions.  We use historical experience, qualified independent consultants and all available information to make these judgments and estimates, and actual results will inevitably differ from those estimates and assumptions that are used to prepare the company’s financial statements at any given time.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that provides a reserve with respect to those accounts for which revenue was recognized but with respect to which management subsequently determines that payment is not expected to be received.  We analyze the balances of accounts receivable to ensure that the recorded amounts properly reflect the amounts expected to be collected.  This analysis involves the application of varying percentages to each accounts receivable category based on the age of the uncollectible accounts receivable.  The amount ultimately recorded as the reserve is determined after management also analyzes the collectibility of specific large or problematic accounts on an individual basis, as well as the overall business climate and other factors.  Our estimate of the percentage of uncollectible accounts may change from time to time and any such change could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Purchase Accounting, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

All business acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the statements of operations include the results of each acquired business since the date of acquisition.  The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair value as determined by management and supported in some cases by an independent third-party valuation.  We finalize the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed when we obtain information sufficient to complete the allocation, but in any case, within one year after acquisition.

Goodwill arising from the acquisitions of businesses is recorded as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of the businesses acquired.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”) provides that goodwill is to be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment.  Consistent with this standard, we will review goodwill, as well as other intangible assets and long-term assets, for impairment annually or more frequently as warranted, and if circumstances indicate that the recorded value

21




of any such other asset is impaired, such asset is written down to its new, lower fair value.  If any item of goodwill or such other asset is determined to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the amount by which the recorded value exceeds the estimated fair market value.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have used stock grants and stock options to attract and retain directors and key executives and intend to use stock options in the future to attract, retain and reward employees for long-term service.

We account for these stock options under the modified prospective method of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”.  In the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted.   We have used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value of our stock-based awards which requires various judgmental assumptions including estimating stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and expected life. Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

Our exposure to interest rate risk arises principally from the variable rates associated with our credit facilities with Systran and Comerica Bank.  On March 31, 2007, we had borrowings of approximately $6.5 million under these facilities that were subject to variable rates, with a rate at March 31, 2007 of 13.0% and 8.0% respectively.  As of March 31, 2007, an adverse change of 10% in the interest rate of all such borrowings outstanding (for example, from 8.0% to 8.8%) would have caused us to incur an increase in interest expense of approximately $71,934 on an annual basis.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations in recent years and periods.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will not be adversely affected by inflation in the future.

Item 4.                    Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this report.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                    Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.  However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.  We are not currently aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.  The following is a list of claims that are in settlement discussions or were settled subsequent to March 31, 2007.  Any losses related to these anticipated settlements or actual settlements have been disclosed in the financial statements and recorded as of March 31, 2007.

Crdentia Corp. and CRDE Corp. v. Robert Litton and Steve Williams; Cause No. 3-06-CV-1182-R; Pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas-Dallas Division.

On January 27, 2006, Crdentia Corp. and CRDE Corp. filed suit against Robert Litton and Steve Williams, the former owners of TravMed, asserting claims for breach of non-competition/solicitation agreements, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with existing and prospective contracts and business relations, and declaratory relief arising out of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of March 28, 2005.  Among other things, the Company alleged that the defendants violated their non-competition agreements that they executed in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by diverting business opportunities to a competing business.  The Company sought an undisclosed amount of damages.  The defendants filed counterclaims against Crdentia alleging breach of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and conversion.  The Company began negotiating a settlement in March 2007 and anticipates it will pay $575,000 in the form of a thirty-six month note in exchange for the defendants agreeing to pay certain payables on Crdentia’s behalf.  The note will bear interest at 10% for the first eighteen months and 5% for the second eighteen months.  Monthly interest payments will be required for the first eighteen months and principal and interest payments in the second eighteen months will be required which will fully amortize the obligation.  This liability is included in other long-term liabilities at March 31, 2007.

Crdentia Corp., CRDE Corp., and Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. v. William W. Crocker and William C. Crocker;  Cause No. 06-01050-L;  Pending in the 193rd Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas.

On January 31, 2006, Crdentia Corp., CRDE Corp., and Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. filed suit against William W. Crocker and William C. Crocker, the former owners of Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc., asserting claims for fraud, indemnity, and declaratory relief arising out of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated August 6, 2004 and a Receivable Allocation Agreement entered into in connection therewith.  Among other things, the Company alleged that, prior to entering the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the defendants failed to disclose that certain key employees had planned to leave the company and that the defendants requested and/or instructed such employees not to leave prior to the closing of the merger.  The Company also alleged that the defendants failed to disclose that their company did not possess certain state licenses necessary to conduct a portion of its business.  The Company sought an undisclosed amount of damages.  This case was settled in April 2007 as discussed below under “William W. Crocker v. Crdentia Corp.”

William W. Crocker, an individual, v. Crdentia Corp., a Delaware Corporation, and Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc., an Arizona Corporation, Cause No. 06C-02-226, pending in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in and for Castle County.

On February 23, 2006, William W. Crocker filed suit against Crdentia Corp. and Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. asserting claims for declaratory judgment, breach of contract, and conversion arising from a Receivable Allocation Agreement executed incident to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated August 6, 2006.  Mr Crocker sought damages in the principal sum of $251,150,

23




which was comprised of $114,019 for collected accounts receivable and eighty percent (80%) of $171,414 of uncollected accounts receivable, plus attorneys’ fees.  The Company settled this case in April 2007.  The Company agreed to issue 312,500 shares of common stock (valued at $159,375 based on the trading value of stock on April 9, 2007) in exchange for Crdentia retaining the proceeds from the collection of certain receivables that it collected on behalf of Mr. Crocker.  The Company has recorded this liability in accounts payable and accrued expenses at March 31, 2007.

Dawson James Securities, Inc. v. Crdentia Corp., Case No. 50 2006CA002708XXXXMB, pending in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial District, Palm Beach County, Florida.

On March 22, 2006, Dawson James filed suit against Crdentia Corp. seeking fees in connection with raising investment capital for Crdentia.  Dawson James contended that under terms of a contract they were owed cash of $235,000 and 50,000 warrants to purchase Crdentia stock.  The Company settled this case in April 2007.  The Company agreed to issue 400,000 shares of common stock (valued at $160,000 based on the trading value of stock on April 13, 2007) in full payment of the obligation.  At March 31, 2007, the Company has recorded an accrual of $864,589 for the fair value of warrants to be issued plus an expected cash payment.  This accrual will be reduced in April 2007 to reflect the above settlement in stock.

Item 1A.                 Risk Factors

Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should consider carefully the following information about the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Form 10-Q before you decide whether to buy our common stock.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.  In those circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.

Our independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern opinion on our financial statements, questioning our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s opinion on our 2006 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Since our inception, we have operated with limited operating capital, and we continue to face immediate and substantial cash needs.  We have limited cash resources and will need to raise additional capital through public or private financings or other arrangements in order to meet current commitments and continue development of our business.  In particular, we will need to raise at least $2,000,000 by March 31, 2008 (of which a significant amount will need to be raised by June 30, 2007) in order to continue to operate our business.  We cannot assure you that additional capital will be available to us when needed, if at all, or, if available, will be obtained on terms attractive to us.  If we are not successful in raising capital in the short-term we could be unable to meet payroll costs.  Failure to raise additional capital when needed could cause us to cease our operations.

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through the private placement of equity and debt securities and loan facilities.  Although we will need to raise funds in the near future, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating any fundraising transaction, or if we do consummate such a transaction, that its terms and conditions will not require us to give investors warrants or other valuable rights to purchase additional interest in our company, or be otherwise unfavorable to us.  Among other things, the agreements under which we issued some of our existing securities include, and any securities that we may issue in the future may also include, terms that could impede our ability to raise additional funding.  The issuance of additional securities could impose additional restrictions on how we operate and finance our business.  In addition, our current debt financing arrangements involve significant interest expense and restrictive covenants that limit our operations.

24




We have a history of losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability.

We have experienced operating and net losses in each fiscal quarter since our inception, and as of March 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $125.9 million.  We incurred net losses of $6.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.  We will need to increase revenues and reduce operating expenses to achieve profitability, and we may not be able to do so.  Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.  Our management may not be able to accurately project or give any assurance with respect to our ability to control development and operating costs and/or expenses in the future.  Consequently, as we expand our commercial operations, management may not be able to control costs and expenses adequately, and such operations may generate losses.  If our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our financial performance will be adversely affected.  Our failure to achieve and sustain profitability would negatively impact the market price of our common stock.

We may face difficulties identifying acquisitions and integrating these acquisitions into our operations.  These acquisitions may be unsuccessful, involve significant cash expenditures or expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

We continually evaluate opportunities to acquire healthcare staffing companies that complement or enhance our business and frequently have preliminary acquisition discussions with such companies.  Since 2003, we have acquired ten businesses.  These acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

·                  potential loss of revenues following the acquisition;

·                  difficulties integrating acquired personnel and distinct cultures into our business;

·                  difficulties integrating acquired companies into our operating, financial planning and financial reporting systems;

·                  diversion of management attention from existing operations; and

·                  assumption of liabilities and exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies, including liabilities for their failure to comply with healthcare regulations.

These acquisitions may also involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence and integration expenses that could seriously harm our financial condition and results of operations.  We may fail to achieve expected efficiencies and synergies.  Any acquisition may ultimately have a negative impact on our business and financial condition.   We may have difficulty in successfully completing planned acquisitions, which could result in significant cash expenditures for legal and accounting services and take up significant time and attention of management.

There is a limited public market for our common stock, and the trading price of our common stock is subject to volatility.

The quotation of shares of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board began in 2003.  There can be no assurances that an active public market will develop or continue for our common stock.  The trading price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations.  Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock may include:

·                  variations in our financial results;

·                  announcements of innovations, new solutions, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors;

·                  recruitment or departure of key personnel;

25




·                  changes in estimates of our financial results or changes in the recommendations of any securities analysts that elect to follow our common stock;

·                  market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole; and

·                  sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that substantial amounts of our common stock will be sold, by our existing stockholders in the public market.

Our need to raise additional capital in the future could have a dilutive effect on your investment.

We will need to raise additional capital in the future, including at least $2,000,000 by March 31, 2008 (of which a significant amount will need to be raised by June 30, 2007) in order for us to continue to operate our business.  Since the beginning of 2007, we have raised $3.85 million through the sale of common stock at $0.60 per share in seven closings of a private placement.  Our board of directors has authorized the sale of an additional $1.15 million in common stock in subsequent closings of the private placement.  In addition to raising money through subsequent closings of the private placement, we may raise additional capital through the public or private sale of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock.  Such sales could be consummated at a significant discount to the trading price of our stock.

If we sell additional shares of our common stock, such sales will further dilute the percentage of our equity that our existing stockholders own.  In addition, private placement financings could involve the issuance of securities at a price per share that represents a discount to the trading prices listed for our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board.  Depending upon the price per share of securities that we sell in the future, a stockholder’s interest in us will be further diluted by any adjustments to the number of shares and the applicable exercise price required pursuant to the terms of the agreements under which we previously issued securities.  No assurance can be given that previous or future investors, finders or placement agents will not claim that they are entitled to additional anti-dilution adjustments or dispute the calculation of any such adjustments.  Any such claim or dispute could require us to incur material costs and expenses regardless of the resolution and, if resolved unfavorably to us, to affect dilutive securities issuances or adjustments to previously issued securities.  In addition, future financings may include provisions requiring us to make additional payments to the investors if we fail to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of SEC registration statements by specified dates or take other specified action.  Our ability to meet these requirements may depend on actions by regulators and other third parties, over which we will have no control.  These provisions may require us to make payments or issue additional dilutive securities, or could lead to costly and disruptive disputes.  In addition, these provisions could require us to record additional non-cash expenses.

Our credit facility and revolving note impose significant expenses on us and we could incur significant additional expenses in the event of default.

In January 2007, we delivered a Master Revolving Note in the amount of $2.4 million to Comerica Bank (the “Comerica Revolving Note”).  In February 2007, we entered into a $10 million working capital facility with Systran Financial Services Corporation (the “Working Capital Facility”).  In connection with our entry into these credit arrangements with Comerica and Systran, we terminated our existing revolving credit facility with Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC and term loan credit facility with Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC.  The new Working Capital Facility and Comerica Revolving Note involve significant interest expenses.  The Working Capital Facility has an initial term of 48 months, and we are obligated to pay Systran certain fees upon early termination in the event the arrangement is terminated prior to the end of the term.  Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Systran may immediately collect any obligation owing to Systran under the Working Capital Facility.  The Comerica Revolving Note provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Comerica may, without prior notice to us, declare any or all of the indebtedness payable under the note immediately due and payable.  Our failure to pay required

26




interest expenses and other fees or to otherwise satisfy the terms of these credit arrangements would have a material adverse affect on us.

The agreements governing the convertible debentures contain covenants and restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.

The terms of our 2006 convertible debentures limit our ability to, among other things, declare or pay dividends or distributions on any equity securities, create or incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens on our assets and repurchase common stock.  These restrictions could adversely affect our ability to borrow additional funds or raise additional equity to fund our future operations.  In addition, if we fail to comply with any of the covenants contained in the agreements or otherwise default on the convertible debentures, the holders may accelerate the indebtedness, and we may not have sufficient funds available to make the required payments.

MedCap Partners L.P. controls a significant amount of our outstanding capital stock, and this may delay or prevent a change of control of the company or adversely affect our stock price.

MedCap Partners L.P. and MedCap Master Fund L.P. (the “MedCap Funds”) control a significant portion of our outstanding capital stock.  In addition, C. Fred Toney, Chairman of our board of directors, is the managing member of MedCap Management & Research LLC, the general partner of the MedCap Funds.  MedCap is able to exercise control over matters requiring stockholder approval, such as the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions, including transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of the company or other transactions that the non-controlling stockholders may deem to be in their best interests and in which such stockholders could receive a premium for their shares.

If we do not continue to attract and retain key employees our business could suffer.

We are dependent upon the personal efforts of our management team.  The loss of any of our officers or directors could have a material adverse effect upon our business and future prospects.  We do not presently have key-person life insurance upon the life of any of our officers or directors.  Additionally, as we continue our planned expansion of commercial operations, we will require the services of additional skilled personnel.  There can be no assurance that we can attract persons with the requisite skills and training to meet our future needs or, even if such persons are available, that they can be hired on terms favorable to us.

Our success also depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified and skilled sales personnel who engage in selling and business development for our services.  The available pool of qualified sales personnel candidates is limited.  We commit substantial resources to the recruitment, training, development and operational support of our sales personnel.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to recruit, develop and retain qualified sales personnel in sufficient numbers or that our sales personnel will achieve productivity levels sufficient to enable growth of our business.  Failure to attract and retain productive sales personnel could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract qualified nurses and healthcare professionals for our healthcare staffing business, our business could be negatively impacted.

We rely significantly on our ability to attract and retain nurses and healthcare professionals who possess the skills, experience and licenses necessary to meet the requirements of our hospital and healthcare facility clients.  We compete for healthcare staffing personnel with other temporary healthcare staffing companies and with hospitals and healthcare facilities.  We must continually evaluate and expand our temporary healthcare professional network to keep pace with our hospital and healthcare facility clients’ needs.  Currently, there is a shortage of qualified nurses in most areas of the United States, competition for nursing personnel is increasing, and salaries and benefits have risen.  We may be unable to continue to increase the number of temporary healthcare professionals that we recruit, decreasing the potential for growth of our business.  Our ability to attract and retain temporary healthcare professionals depends on several factors, including our ability to provide temporary healthcare professionals with assignments that they view as attractive and to provide them with competitive benefits and wages.  We cannot assure you that we will be successful in any of these areas.  The cost of attracting temporary healthcare professionals and providing

27




them with attractive benefit packages may be higher than we anticipate and, as a result, if we are unable to pass these costs on to our hospital and healthcare facility clients, our losses could increase.  Moreover, if we are unable to attract and retain temporary healthcare professionals, the quality of our services to our hospital and healthcare facility clients may decline and, as a result, we could lose clients.

The temporary staffing industry is highly competitive and the success and future growth of our business depends upon our ability to remain competitive in obtaining and retaining temporary staffing clients.

The temporary staffing industry is highly competitive and fragmented, with limited barriers to entry.  We compete in national, regional and local markets with full-service agencies and in regional and local markets with specialized temporary staffing agencies.  Some of our competitors include AMN Healthcare Services, Inc., Cross Country, Inc., Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc. and On Assignment, Inc.  All of these companies have significantly greater marketing and financial resources than we do.  Our ability to attract and retain clients is based on the value of the service we deliver, which in turn depends principally on the speed with which we fill assignments and the appropriateness of the match based on clients’ requirements and the skills and experience of our temporary employees.  Our ability to attract skilled, experienced temporary professionals is based on our ability to pay competitive wages, to provide competitive benefits, to provide multiple, continuous assignments and thereby increase the retention rate of these employees.  To the extent that competitors seek to gain or retain market share by reducing prices or increasing marketing expenditures, we could lose revenues and our margins could decline, which could seriously harm our operating results and cause the trading price of our stock to decline.  As we expand into new geographic markets, our success will depend in part on our ability to gain market share from competitors.  We expect competition for clients to increase in the future, and the success and growth of our business depends on our ability to remain competitive.

Our business depends upon our continued ability to secure and fill new orders from our hospital and healthcare facility clients, because we do not have long-term agreements or exclusive contracts with them.

We generally do not have long-term agreements or exclusive guaranteed order contracts with our hospital and healthcare facility clients.  The success of our business depends upon our ability to continually secure new orders from hospitals and other healthcare facilities and to fill those orders with our temporary healthcare professionals.  Our hospital and healthcare facility clients are free to place orders with our competitors and may choose to use temporary healthcare professionals that our competitors offer them.  Therefore, we must maintain positive relationships with our hospital and healthcare facility clients.  If we fail to maintain positive relationships with our hospital and healthcare facility clients, we may be unable to generate new temporary healthcare professional orders and our business may be adversely affected.

Fluctuations in patient occupancy at our clients’ hospitals and healthcare facilities and/or nurse turnover rates may adversely affect the demand for our services and therefore the profitability of our business.

Demand for our temporary healthcare staffing services is significantly affected by the general level of patient occupancy at our hospital and healthcare clients’ facilities.  When occupancy increases, hospitals and other healthcare facilities often add temporary employees before full-time employees are hired.  As occupancy decreases, hospitals and other healthcare facilities typically reduce their use of temporary employees before undertaking layoffs of their regular employees.  In addition, we may experience more competitive pricing pressure during periods of occupancy downturn.  Occupancy at our clients’ hospitals and healthcare facilities also fluctuates due to the seasonality of some elective procedures.  We are unable to predict the level of patient occupancy at any particular time and the effect on our revenues and earnings.

We could be difficult to acquire due to anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us.  These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to take corporate actions and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.  We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203

28




of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Subject to specified exceptions, including the approval of the transaction by the board of directors or the corporation’s stockholders, this section provides that a corporation may not engage in any business combination with any interested stockholder during the three-year period following the time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.  This provision could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us.  These factors could limit the price that investors or an acquirer may be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

We operate in a regulated industry and changes in regulations or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that could reduce our revenues and profitability.

The healthcare industry is subject to extensive and complex federal and state laws and regulations related to professional licensure, conduct of operations, payment for services and payment for referrals.  If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations that are directly applicable to our business, we could suffer civil and/or criminal penalties or be subject to injunctions or cease and desist orders.

Our business is generally not subject to the extensive and complex laws that apply to our hospital and healthcare facility clients, including laws related to Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.  However, these laws and regulations could indirectly affect the demand or the prices paid for our services.  For example, our hospital and healthcare facility clients could suffer civil or criminal penalties or be excluded from participating in Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs if they fail to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to their businesses.  In addition, our hospital and healthcare facility clients could receive reduced reimbursements, or be excluded from coverage, because of a change in the rates or conditions set by federal or state governments.  In turn, violations of or changes to these laws and regulations that adversely affect our hospital and healthcare facility clients could also adversely affect the prices that these clients are willing or able to pay for our services.

In addition, improper actions by our employees and other service providers may subject us to regulatory and litigation risk.

Further government regulations or healthcare reform could negatively impact our business opportunities, revenues and margins.

Although our operations are not currently subject to any significant government regulations, it is possible that, in the future, such regulations may be created.  Although we cannot predict the likelihood or extent of such future regulations, the possibility exists that future unforeseen changes may have an adverse impact on our ability to continue or expand our operations as presently planned.

The United States government has undertaken efforts to control increasing healthcare costs through legislation, regulation and voluntary agreements with medical care providers and drug companies.  In the recent past, the United States Congress has considered several comprehensive healthcare reform proposals.  The proposals were generally intended to expand healthcare coverage for the uninsured and reduce the growth of total healthcare expenditures.  While Congress did not adopt any comprehensive reform proposals, members of Congress may raise similar proposals in the future.  If any of these proposals are approved, hospitals and other healthcare facilities may react by spending less on healthcare staffing, including nurses.  If this were to occur, we would have fewer business opportunities, which could seriously harm our business.

State governments have also attempted to control increasing healthcare costs.  For example, the state of Massachusetts has recently implemented a regulation that limits the hourly rate payable to temporary nursing agencies for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nurses’ aides.  The state of Minnesota has also implemented a statute that limits the amount that nursing agencies may charge nursing homes.  Other states have also proposed legislation that would limit the amounts that temporary staffing companies may charge.  Any such current or proposed laws could seriously harm our business, revenues and margins.

Furthermore, third party payers, such as health maintenance organizations, increasingly challenge the prices charged for medical care.  Failure by hospitals and other healthcare facilities to obtain full reimbursement from those third party payers could reduce the demand or the price paid for our staffing services.

29




Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

In recent years, healthcare providers have become subject to an increasing number of legal actions alleging malpractice, product liability or related legal theories.  Many of these actions involve large claims and significant defense costs.  In addition, we may be subject to claims related to torts or crimes committed by our employees or temporary healthcare professionals.  In some instances, we are required to indemnify our clients against some or all of these risks.  A failure of any of our employees or healthcare professionals to observe our policies and guidelines intended to reduce these risks; relevant client policies and guidelines or applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations could result in negative publicity, payment of fines or other damages.  Our professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance coverage may not cover all claims against us or continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost.  If we are unable to maintain adequate insurance coverage or if our insurers deny coverage we may be exposed to substantial liabilities.

We may be legally liable for damages resulting from our hospital and healthcare facility clients’ mistreatment of our healthcare personnel.

Because we are in the business of placing our temporary healthcare professionals in the workplaces of other companies, we are subject to possible claims by our temporary healthcare professionals alleging discrimination, sexual harassment, negligence and other similar activities by our hospital and healthcare facility clients.  The cost of defending such claims, even if groundless, could be substantial and the associated negative publicity could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals in the future.

We have a substantial amount of goodwill and other intangible assets on our balance sheet.  Our level of goodwill and other intangible assets may have the effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses.

As of March 31, 2007, we had $15.9 million of goodwill and other unamortized intangible assets on our balance sheet, which represents the excess of the total purchase price of our acquisitions over the fair value of the net assets acquired.  At March 31, 2007, goodwill and other intangible assets represented 67% of our total assets.  An impairment charge of goodwill to earnings would have the effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses, as the case may be.  If we are required to write down a substantial amount of goodwill, our stock price could be adversely affected.  As a result of the loss of customer base in some operations and the closure of certain operations, our impairment analysis of goodwill in 2006 required a charge for impairment of goodwill of $10 million.  We also lost certain customer relationships that were obtained with the TravMed acquisition which necessitated a write-down of $126,000 in 2006 related to intangibles assigned to these customer relationships.

Demand for medical staffing services is significantly affected by the general level of economic activity and unemployment in the United States.

When economic activity increases, temporary employees are often added before full-time employees are hired.  However, as economic activity slows, many companies, including our hospital and healthcare facility clients, reduce their use of temporary employees before laying-off full-time employees.  In addition, we may experience more competitive pricing pressure during periods of economic downturn.  Therefore, any significant economic downturn could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

6.1                                 All of The Bill(s) are purchased by SYSTRAN from Customer with Recourse.  All of The Bill(s) may be Chargedback to Customer at any time after ninety (90) days for a Commercial Account and steamship companies, and sixty (60) days for Transportation Account(s) after the purchase date of The Bill(s) if not collected from Debtor within such period or at any time, if SYSTRAN determines, in its sole discretion, that The Bill(s) is not collectible.  All of The Bill(s) owing by Canadian Debtors or logistics companies are subject to Chargeback sixty (60) days from the date of purchase by SYSTRAN.

6.3                                 COLLECTION OF BILLS.  SYSTRAN may, but is not required to, commence any action, including legal action, to collect The Bill(s).  All costs of collection, including attorney fees, court fees, and costs of investigation, will be charged to the Customer.  Prior to any event of default by a Debtor, SYSTRAN will commence litigation only with Customers’ authorization.  Subsequent to an event of default, SYSTRAN may file suit as it deems necessary without Customers’ authorization.  In the event of default, Customer hereby grants authorization to SYSTRAN to settle or compromise any freight bill dispute, including litigation, with any uncollected amount being subject to Chargeback, together with all other amounts for which Customer is obligated to SYSTRAN.
