ABOUT CRDENTIA CORP.
Crdentia Corp. is one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare staffing
services. Crdentia seeks to capitalize on an opportunity that currently exists
in the healthcare industry by targeting the critical nursing shortage issue.
There are many small, private companies that are addressing the rapidly
expanding needs of the healthcare industry. Unfortunately, due to their
relatively small capitalization, they are unable to maximize their potential,
obtain outside capital or expand. By consolidating well-run small private
companies into a larger public entity, Crdentia intends to facilitate access to
capital, the acquisition of technology, and expanded distribution that, in turn,
drive internal growth. For more information, visit www.crdentia.com.
