Dynasil Announces Acquisition of Precision Optics Product Line
WEST BERLIN, N.J. - January 22, 2008 - Dynasil Corporation of America
(OTCBB: DYSL.OB), a photonics company headquartered in New Jersey,
announced today that it has acquired an optical filter product line from
Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. ("POC") located in Gardner, MA. The
purchase includes the intellectual property, customer base and equipment
to produce a variety of high performance optical filters that extend the
market offerings of Dynasil subsidiary Optometrics Corporation in Ayer,
MA. In addition to a $250,000 up-front cash payment, there is a royalty
agreement on existing business for three years. Dynasil's Chairman,
James Saltzman states: "Once we learned that POC had decided to focus on
advanced optical systems for medical visualization, we were a natural
steward for this unit since our Optometrics business is in their
backyard. We are in an excellent position to provide a smooth transition
for customers and employees".
The acquisition comes on top of the December 20th announcement of an
agreement between Dynasil and an advanced instrument company that is
planned to more than triple the size of Dynasil upon completion of the
transaction. Rationale for the POC addition was discussed by Dynasil CEO
and President, Craig T. Dunham: "This purchase fits our strategy of add-
on acquisitions to grow our existing businesses. We plan to fully
integrate the additional optical filter business into our Ayer, MA
location and anticipate incremental revenues of at least $500,000 per
year which we expect to be immediately accretive to earnings. The
intellectual property and know-how adds a significant capability set to
our company".
The Optometrics business where the POC product line will reside
specializes in optical filters and diffraction gratings. Laura Lunardo,
COO of Optometrics, noted that: "The POC line will add Long Life Filters
to our laminated interference filter product set, enabling Optometrics to
offer a broader range of filters to the spectroscopy, astronomical,
medical and laser markets as well as to adjacent markets that we do not
currently serve".
Craig Dunham added: "Between our subsidiaries, Optometrics Corporation
and EMF Corporation in Ithaca, NY, we offer one of the most comprehensive
coating services in the United States. We have standard and custom thin
film designs available from the UV to the far IR and can coat substrates
from a few millimeters to 3 meters in diameter. Our engineering
expertise and high quality customer service as well as the size and
number of our chambers have enabled us to solve significant problems for
customers with aerospace, automotive, display, communication and
instrumentation applications".
