DYNASIL CORPORATION REPORTS 8% REVENUE GROWTH IN THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2011

Company Plans Dual-Mode Radiation Detector Revenue in FY 2012

Announces Planning Initiative to Focus Commercialization Efforts

[ Dynasil ] Corporation of America (NASDAQ: DYSL) today announced financial results for the fiscal 2011 third quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $12.2 million, an increase of 8% from revenue of $11.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net income was $1 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, up from $0.7 million, or 5 cents per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.

Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $35.9 million, an increase of 14.0% from revenue of $31.5 million for the same period in 2010. Net Income for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,798,073, or $0.12 in basic earnings per share, compared to $1,974,713, or $0.13 in basic earnings per share, for the comparable period ended June 30, 2010.

aWe reported another quarter of strong year-over-year revenue growth, fueled by increases in both our Contract Research and Products & Instruments segments,a said Dynasil President Steven Ruggieri. aDue to the significant investments we are making to build shareholder value for the long-term, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 44% in the quarter. In addition, during the quarter, Dynasil was successful in qualifying for U.S. Research & Experimentation Tax Credits totaling approximately $1.0 million. Overall results for the quarter showed a 41% increase in net income.a

Income from operations in the 2011 period includes $583,000 in costs related to the initial operation of Dynasil Biomedical Corp., the startup of the dual mode detector initiative, a study to determine Dynasila™s qualification for U.S. Research & Experimentation Tax Credits and transition of the Companya™s executive management. In addition to the costs mentioned above, net income includes approximately $1,045,000 in U.S. Research & Experimentation Tax Credits for the years 2009 and 2010.

aDuring the quarter we made excellent progress toward the commercialization of our dual mode radiation detectors,a added Ruggieri. aDelivery is underway of our dual mode detectors to OEM customers for beta testing, and we expect to begin to produce revenue from this program in fiscal year 2012, marking a key milestone for Dynasil. We see a broad set of addressable market opportunities for our dual-mode products. Applications include detection of nuclear bombs and materials at ports and border checkpoints, and radiation detection at nuclear energy facilities.a

aThe dual-mode radiation detectors are one example of how Dynasil has taken great strides in transitioning from a largely research-based organization to a more commercial enterprise,a said Ruggieri. aCommercialization of technology from our extensive research and development portfolio and acquisitions are expected to be the key drivers of our future growth, and we plan to continue to invest in these growth opportunities. The Company is actively exploring commercialization opportunities in thin film digital x-rays, sensors for non destructive testing and radiation dosimeters based on technologies developed at our RMD (Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc.) subsidiary. While still early, many of the technologies being explored within our biomedical opportunity also have exciting market potential.a

aOur mission is to accelerate this commercial transition by identifying and dedicating the necessary resources to those opportunities that have the greatest potential for profitable growth,a Ruggieri continued. aTo do so, we are working on a long-range business plan that includes a focus on rationalizing our research and commercialization efforts. This plan, which we will roll out in fiscal year 2012, will streamline our businesses to position Dynasil for continued profitability and increased shareholder value for the long-term.a
