leading supplier of imaging equipment, supplies and service
to the technical, display graphics and photo marketplace,
from 2006 to 2007.  From 1989 until 2006, he held numerous
financial positions of increasing responsibility, including
Treasurer, VP Finance, and CFO at Charrette Corporation, a
firm that serviced the printing and design industries.
In those positions, Mr. Johnson helped to increase that

to $130 million.  Over the course of his career, Mr. Johnson

all aspects of the acquisition process.  He also has
significant experience with a wide range of financing
activities and structures.  Mr. Johnson has a B.S. and
an M.B.A. in Finance.

     Dynasil and Mr. Johnson signed an Employment Agreement,

as well as a signing/retention bonus in the form of options
to acquire 20,000 shares of Dynasil common stock at an
exercise price of 33% above market price as of his hire
date. The stock options have a three year exercise period
and will vest two years from date of hire. Mr. Johnson also
is receiving a grant of 7,500 restricted shares of Dynasil
stock that will vest in equal amounts every twelve months
over a three year period.

     Mr. Johnson replaces Mr. Paul Weaver who will complete
Dynasil's financial reporting for its 2009 fiscal year, which
