Note 3 – Xcede Technologies, Inc. Joint Venture

In October, 2013, the Company formed Xcede Technologies, Inc. (“Xcede”), a joint venture with Mayo Clinic, in order to spin out and separately fund the development of its tissue sealant technology, which formerly comprised the majority of its biomedical segment. Xcede has raised approximately $1.4 million in external funding in the form of Convertible Notes from outside investors including certain officers and directors of the Company. The notes accrue interest at 5% and are due on demand after June 30, 2015. Upon the closing of a capital stock financing raising at least $3.0 million, inclusive of the convertible notes and interest, the outstanding principal amount of the notes plus all accrued interest will be converted into shares of the same capital stock sold in the financing at a 20% discount to the price per share of that capital stock. Alternatively, at any time prior to a capital stock financing the note holders can convert at their option the principal amount of the notes plus all accrued interest thereon into common stock based on a $5 million valuation.

Xcede is 90% owned by Dynasil Biomedical and, as a result, is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows. The Company expects Xcede to require additional funding in connection with human trials expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2015.
