Dynasil Sells Navigator Product Line
Proceeds Used to Reduce Bank Debt
Watertown, Mass., December 24, 2013 - Dynasil Corporation of America
(NASDAQ: DYSL), a developer of sensing, detection and analysis technology for
homeland security, medical and industrial applications, today announced the
December 23, 2013 sale of the assets of its Navigator Gamma Medical Probe
product line to Dilon Technologies, Inc. of Newport News, Virginia.
This transaction is a step in the previously announced strategy to
restructure the Company to improve liquidity and pay down bank debt. The
consummation of this divestiture resulted in a payment to Santander Bank,
N.A., the Company's primary lender, of approximately $2.75 million, which
reduced the balance of the Company's outstanding indebtedness to Santander
to approximately $2.4 million. As previously reported, at September 30,
2012, the Company's indebtedness to Santander was approximately $9.0
million, a reduction of $6.6 million over the past 15 months. The Company
also has a subordinated $3 million note to Massachusetts Capital Resource
Corporation which is not yet due.
"We are pleased to announce the completion of this divestiture, which marks a
key step in our strategy to reduce debt and operational expenses and return
Dynasil to positive EBITDA and profitability," said Peter Sulick, Chairman
and CEO of Dynasil. "Combined with the sale of the XRF assets, this
divestiture has allowed us to substantially reduce our outstanding bank debt
balance. At the present time, we do not foresee further asset sales. We
expect to amortize our bank debt in accordance with our standard amortization
schedule, which should result in the primary bank debt being completely paid
off over the next 15 months."
"We expect the combination of these divestitures, selective expense
reductions, the spinoff of our tissue sealant technology and improvements in
operational performance of our remaining businesses will result in a
significant turnaround in the company's results. The past 18 months have been
difficult but constructive." continued Mr. Sulick. "While we have had to
write off a substantial amount of intangible assets incurred in a prior
acquisition and sell off the associated product lines, we have not missed a
single bank payment to our primary lender and have more cash today than a
year ago. Our research division weathered the government shutdown without a
furlough and continues to have a substantial backlog of project work across a
broad range of scientific fields. We are excited about the prospects of our
optics group which has been experiencing an uptake in business over the past
18 months as a result of both new product development and an investment in
sales management. "
