EX-99 5 dyn1208-10qsbex99.txt PRESS RELEASE Contact: Craig Dunham Dynasil Corporation of America Phone: (856) 767-4600 Email: cdunham@Dynasil.com Dynasil Announces First Quarter 2009 Results WEST BERLIN, N.J. - February 17, 2009 - Dynasil Corporation of America (OTCBB: DYSL.OB), announced the results of operations for its first quarter of fiscal year 2009 ended December 31, 2008. Dynasil derives the majority of its revenue from contract research for government and private industry and is a manufacturer of specialized instruments and photonic products including optical materials, components and coatings. The Company serves a broad range of applications markets in the medical, industrial, and homeland security/ defense sectors. Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 more than tripled to $8.8 million compared to revenues of $2.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. Income from Operations for the quarter nearly tripled to $657,370 compared to $234,479 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. Net income for the quarter was $355,639 or $0.02 per share, compared with net income of $190,286, or $0.03 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. This is the second quarter since the acquisition of Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc. and certain assets of RMD Instruments, LLC (together, "RMD") on July 1, 2008, which was the key driver for the tripling of revenues. The current recession resulted in reduced commercial product revenues and impacted commercial product profitability. Contract research revenues continued to grow and RMD has significantly increased Dynasil technical capabilities and intellectual property. Net Operating Loss carry-forwards for federal taxes were exhausted during fiscal year 2008 so first quarter net income was impacted by increased federal tax provisions as well as the higher interest costs related to the RMD acquisition. "Given overall economic conditions, we are pleased that we were able to triple revenues and produce solid profits for the quarter," said Craig T. Dunham, President and CEO. "We have taken steps to reduce costs while increasing sales and marketing activities. As we look to the future, we are targeting the commercialization of RMD's new technology for applications such as sensors for improved medical imaging, non-destructive structural testing and Homeland Security's detection of nuclear materials. We continue to execute our strategy of significant and profitable growth through organic growth, commercialization of our broad research portfolio and acquisitions."
