 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

         On May 31, 2005, National Dentex Corporation issued a press release
         announcing its results of operations for the first fiscal quarter of
         2005 ended March 31, 2005. The press release is attached hereto as
         Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

         The information under Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K, including the
         exhibit, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission
         and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to
         the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by
         reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


         Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued
         Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

         As previously reported on National Dentex's Current Report on Form 8-K
         filed with the SEC on May 24, 2005, National Dentex was notified by
         Nasdaq on May 18, 2005 that its securities were subject to delisting
         owing to its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
         for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 by the due date of
         May 10, 2005.

         Today, June 6, 2005, National Dentex filed the delinquent Report on
         Form 10-Q, bringing it current in all of its Securities and Exchange
         Commission periodic filings.

         National Dentex' inability to file the Quarterly Report had stemmed
         from its delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal
         2004, which delay had been the subject of a prior delinquency notice
         from Nasdaq and a Nasdaq listing qualifications panel hearing held on
         May 5, 2005. National Dentex had filed the delinquent Annual Report on
         May 24, 2005.

         With today's filing of the Quarterly Report, National Dentex believes
         that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing
         standards. Although no assurance can be given, National Dentex intends
         to seek such a determination from Nasdaq. In the meantime, and pending
         any further notification from or action by Nasdaq, the fifth character
         "E" will continue to be appended to its trading symbol and its trading
         symbol will continue to be "NADXE".
