Dynasil Announces Fiscal Year 2009 Results with a Doubling
of Revenues and Income from Operations
WEST BERLIN, N.J. - December 23, 2009 - Dynasil Corporation
of America (OTCBB: DYSL.OB) ("Dynasil" or the "Company"), a
rapidly growing manufacturer of specialized instruments and
products with applications in the homeland security/defense,
medical and industrial sectors, today announced the results
of operations for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
Fiscal year 2009 was a year of significant growth in both
revenues and profits for Dynasil following the acquisition
of RMD on July 1, 2008. Fiscal year revenues doubled from
$17.1 million in FY 2008 to $34.4 million in FY2009; income
from operations doubled from $1.45 million to $2.84 million;
and net income increased by 33.5% from $1.16 to $1.55
million. Net operating loss carry-forwards for federal taxes
were exhausted during fiscal year 2008, so fiscal year 2009
net income was affected by provisions for increased federal
taxes, as well as higher interest costs relating to the RMD
acquisition. Also, fiscal year 2009 revenues from
commercial operations including the optics/photonics
products and instruments segment were impacted by the
worldwide economic recession. In spite of this, the
Company's business units all remained profitable, while its
contract research segment showed a substantial revenue
increase for the year and has about two years of project
backlog. Dynasil also initiated a review of the
intellectual property acquired with RMD and began the
initial phases of commercial development of this technology.
During fiscal year 2009, the Company paid down debt by $2.2
million and maintained liquidity with a cash balance of $3.1
million and an additional $1.2 million available from lines
of credit as of September 30, 2009.
"In light of the challenges presented by the global economic
situation, we are pleased with our fiscal year 2009
results," said Craig T. Dunham, President and CEO. "Our
2008 acquisition of RMD enabled our continued revenue
growth, which has averaged more than 70% per year for the
last five years. RMD also added new proprietary technology
with exciting commercial potential and the prospects for
acquiring additional intellectual property assets through
our contract research activities. In the case of government
funded research, we are normally allowed not only to make a
profit on that work, but also to retain commercial rights to
the technology that we develop. During 2009,
commercialization of that new technology became a major
focus area, with the result that we are currently pursuing
promising opportunities, some of which include: detectors to
help Homeland Security identify nuclear threats, faster
sensors for dynamic medical imaging, and crack detection
sensors to find very small cracks in objects such as
aircraft wings and turbine blades. Overall, we are very
excited about the profit potential for this technology.
Dynasil remains focused on growth of our commercial
operations through internal development and improved
efficiencies, as well as through active pursuit of
complementary acquisitions and commercialization of
technology from RMD."
