Crdentia Announces Third Quarter 2007 Results
Company Achieves Increased Revenue through Organic Growth for the First Time in Five Quarters
DALLAS, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Crdentia Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: CRDT), a leading U.S. provider of healthcare staffing services focused on the Sun Belt markets, reported third quarter 2007 revenue of $7.3 million, marking the first quarter of organic sequential revenue growth in five quarters. In addition, third quarter 2007 gross margin of 21.4% increased on both a sequential quarter and year-over-year basis and is indicative of stronger pricing and more effective cost control. The organic growth and margin improvement came during a seasonally weak period for the healthcare staffing industry.

As announced last month, the Company's recent acquisitions of Medical People Healthcare Services (MPHS), Inc. and ATS Health Services, expand its presence and depth of services throughout the Sun Belt and achieve a management objective to spread the Company's corporate overhead costs over a larger base of business to improve future operating income. In addition, the recent successful completion of its equity financing positions the Company for continued organic growth and expansion, thus making Crdentia a formidable competitor in its target marketplace.

John Kaiser, CEO of Crdentia, said, 'The Company's strategic plan is working well. I am delighted that the Company and our management team reinitiated organic revenue growth early in my tenure. During the third quarter we reported our first quarterly sequential revenue increase in five quarters giving us a positive outlook for the future of the Company.'

Mr. Kaiser continued, 'I am also very pleased that the recent addition of nine new staffing offices in the Sun Belt will add to Crdentia's previous operations that were already on a firm growth path as reflected by the third quarter results. Having personally visited all of the new offices in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama, I am pleased to report that we are off to a good start at both ATS Health Services and MPHS. There is excitement throughout the combined organizations over the operational improvements, newly initiated internal growth, completed equity financing and further penetration of the Sun Belt. We look forward to continuing our strong internal growth and to the growth of the newly combined organization, along with our goal of Crdentia achieving profitability.'

For additional information on Crdentia's results of operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company refers you to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2007.
