WATERTOWN, Mass.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Dynasil Corporation of America (NASDAQ:DYSL) today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 which ended December 31, 2010 was at a record level of $11.6 million, an increase of 17% over revenue of $9.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. Income from Operations for the quarter was $736,000 as compared to $1,072,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 which includes certain non-recurring costs associated with our listing on the NASDAQ Global Market in December 2010 and higher acquisition costs. Net income was $375,000 or $0.03 per share, compared with a Net Income of $614,000 or $0.04 per share.

aWe are making significant investments for future growth with our NASDAQ listing, acquisitions, and commercialization of new technology which resulted in strong commercial business profitability being partially offset by our corporate level spending on future development. We are pleased to have record revenue with our Optics/Photonics Products & Instruments segment revenue growing 34% and our Contract Research segment revenue growing 5%, with a contracted backlog which will fund our R & D for approximately one and one-half years,a said Craig T. Dunham, Dynasila™s President and CEO. aIn addition, we continue to execute on our strategic objectives to leverage our technologies and solutions to offer leading nuclear detection and medical imaging materials around the globe. We believe we are uniquely positioned to benefit from the industry trends in the medical, industrial, and homeland security/defense sectors. For our dual mode detectors aimed at locating nuclear bombs or radioactive materials at ports and borders, we made significant progress during our first quarter developing commercial relationships with lead customers as well as procuring equipment to scale up production. We expect to have dual mode detector production capacity operational at our recently acquired Hilger Crystals location during our second quarter and to achieve full production mode during this fiscal year.a

Peter Sulick, Chairman of Dynasil, stated, aI am pleased to have record revenue again this quarter, but the real story is our commitment and investment in future growth. Dynasil has a strong asset base across our commercial product sectors. This, in addition to promising technology coming out of RMD positions us well going forward. We are investing in the commercialization of certain of this technology while continuing to evaluate additional commercialization opportunities, acquisitions, licensing and joint ventures. Our listing on the NASDAQ Global Market in December 2010 was a significant achievement and we believe that it will allow the Company to attract additional world class team members and investors that will support the continued expansion of our business activities as well as enabling us to increase the trading liquidity of our stock, broaden our stockholder base and raise our profile in the investment community.a
