ITEM 1.01     ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

         In connection with the closing of the merger transaction referenced
below in ITEM 2.01, COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS, on
August 31, 2004, we executed an Executive Employment Agreement with William C.
Crocker. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Crocker will be employed by
Crdentia Corp. in the position of Senior Vice President and receive a base
salary of $115,000 per year, subject to an annual increase of no less than ten
percent. Mr. Crocker will also be entitled to receive benefits made available to
other similar executives in accordance with benefit plans established by us from
time to time. The agreement provides that we may terminate Mr. Crocker's
employment at any time for "cause" (as defined in the agreement) or at any time
and for any reason after the third anniversary of the agreement.

         The description of the Executive Employment Agreement set forth above
and elsewhere in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Executive Employment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report.

ITEM 2.01     COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On August 31, 2004, we, Crdentia Corp., CRDE Corp., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Crdentia Corp., AHHC Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CRDE Corp., Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. ("AHHC"),
and the shareholders of AHHC completed the merger of AHHC Acquisition
Corporation with and into AHHC pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization dated August 26, 2004.

         In connection with the merger, all outstanding shares of capital stock
of AHHC were converted into the right to receive a ratable portion of the merger
consideration. The aggregate merger consideration consisted of (i) $3,900,000 in
cash, which amount was paid equally between the shareholders of AHHC at closing,
and (ii) the gross amount of the accounts receivable of AHHC outstanding as of
the closing date, and any cash collections realized by us with respect to such
accounts receivable will be paid to the shareholders of AHHC following the
closing. We funded the cash portion of the merger consideration pursuant to a
Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC ("Bridge")
entered into on August 31, 2004. The consideration for and the other terms and
conditions of the merger were determined by arms-length negotiations between us
and AHHC.

         In addition to the merger consideration, as described in further detail
in our report on Form 8-K on September 1, 2004 under ITEM 3.02, UNREGISTERED
SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, we agreed to issue an additional number of shares of
our common stock to one of the shareholders of AHHC, William C. Crocker, as an
earnout payment.

         The description of the transaction set forth above and elsewhere in
this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement
filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the report on Form 8-K filed on September 1, 2004.

         On September 1, 2004 and September 7, 2004 we issued press releases
regarding the signing of the merger agreement and the closing of the merger
which are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this current report,
respectively.
