3 Corporate Objectives - Ongoing 1. Continued growth in Optics revenue through organic growth and opportunistic acquisitions. 2. Conversion of job shop revenue stream across the Optics companies to more predictable, longer term, recurring revenue. • 2018 launch of HEAR/IR business • 2018 launch of optical assembly business 3. Develop technology and transfer into commercial development: • RMD scintillator technology (CLYC, CsI , Thin Film, SrI , HRM) • Dynasil Biomedical – Xcede Patch, Intellectual Property 4. Maintain conformity with loan covenants. Improve overall cost of capital through conversion to lower cost funding where possible. 5. Capital allocation to support the above objectives . 6.

4 Financial Summary Fiscal Year 2017 vs. 2016 Revenue decreased from $43.4 million in fiscal 2016 to $37.3 million in 2017. • Optics revenue decreased 19%, from $23.7 million to $19.3 million. (Details to follow, but essentially one customer.) • Contract Research revenue decreased 9 %, from $19.8 million to $18.0 million Net Income from Operations, pre - Xcede of $815,000 vs. $2,749,000 in 2016, an decrease of 70% Net Loss from Operations of $582,000 versus Net Income from Operations of $679,000 in the prior year, an decrease of 186%

 
 

5 Fiscal Year 2017 Performance EMF – Revenue growth in HUD Hilger – Continued support for CsI and LYSO product development Loss of orders from largest customer for a large part of the year. Returning for 2018. RMD – Significant impact from the change in presidential administrations resulting in funding issues on approved projects. Staff reductions, salary rollbacks and reduced work weeks in place from April - July of 2017. Backlog grew to $37.0 million during the year; ended at $33.0 million. Grew commercial revenue. Continued to refine the commercial product pipeline. Separate report to follow. Xcede – Efforts to transfer Xcede to Dynasil stockholders via dividend unsuccessful. Successful with a combination of Cook Biotech Inc./Dynasil financing. Timeline now in place for First in Human trials in fiscal 2018. Separate report to follow. Corporate – Launched three ecommerce websites

 
 

6 Debt Total Debt Dec. 2012: $11.5 M Dec. 2016: $3.5 M Total Debt Dec. 2012: $11.5 M Dec. 2017: $3.2 M

 
 

7 2017 Objectives and Results 1. Actively bidding on optical assembly business which could add both substantial revenue and profitability, as well as move the company “up the food chain ”. • No business procured for 2017 but a prototype assembly operation is being launched during 2018. 2. Launching e - commerce website with specific product offerings not otherwise available in the marketplace, as well as traditional products. New e - commerce site will be Dynasil - branded with sub links to the individual companies’ websites. • Launched three ecommerce sites (Optometrics, EMF and DFS) during fiscal year 2017; Hilger launched in early 2018. 3. Xcede funded through first - in - human trial; opportunity for monetization through acquisition, sale, dividend to the Dynasil stockholders or additional financing over the next 18 months. • Xcede status quo. Actively looking for financing through an investment banker and considering other options. First - in - Human trial to begin in early 2018.

 
 

8 2017 Objectives and Results (continued) 4. Commercial revenue growth for RMD expected to double this year and again double over the next two years. • Commercial Revenue tripled for 2017. • 2018 looks like an off year. There are substantial opportunities, but the timing is conditional on government appropriations and bids. • Over the next 3 - 5 years, we believe the overall trajectory of the RMD commercial revenue will be significant, but individual year timing is difficult to forecast. 5. Hilger array business expected to return to 2016 levels by summer 2017; CsI business also expected to increase over the next 18 months. • Business did not return until October 2018 and will be ramping during the year. It should begin to approach 2016 levels by the end of 2018.

 
 

9 The Future: 2018 - 2019 • Launch and procure business for both the HEAR/IR and Optics assembly business. • Processes and equipment necessary for HEAR/IR to be procured and installed by the third quarter of 2018. • Continued development of a long - term strategic plan. • Continued support of Xcede through clinical trial. Financing will be necessary during 2018. • Focus on marketing – maximizing exposure of products through ecommerce websites, generation of leads for sales teams, planning for and implementation of CRM system. VP of Marketing to be added.
