"I am pleased to report our continued revenue growth in the Optics segment driven predominantly by a new product offering that has been ramping up over the past 9 months.  Our operating businesses continue to have positive net income as well.  The expenses from Xcede Technologies, Inc. ("Xcede"), our Hemostat/Sealant technology development project, caused Dynasil to end at breakeven for both the second quarter and year to date," said CEO Peter Sulick

"Despite some government budget pressure, our Contract Research segment revenues increased 4% to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2016.  Our backlog in this segment has been decreased slightly to $31 million, as we continue to experience government budget pressure, in the form of both contract award and funding delays." 

"Our Xcede joint venture continues to work with Cook Biotech Inc. of West Lafayette, IN to complete design freeze and manufacturing development of Xcede's resorbable hemostatic patch. Xcede's management team is actively pursuing a number of financing alternatives to raise the necessary capital to complete biocompatibility testing and begin first in human clinical trials necessary for regulatory approvals. We anticipate this process to successfully conclude by the end of our fiscal year," added Mr. Sulick.

Dynasil's results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were essentially breakeven, up slightly from the net loss of ($0.1) million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015.  The net loss also included expenses of approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, associated with research and start-up costs of Xcede. Dynasil has voting control of Xcede via its common stock ownership, thus Dynasil is required to include Xcede in the company's consolidated financial statements even though Dynasil is no longer funding Xcede.
