 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."
