Dynasil and EMF Announce Acquisition Agreement
Business Editors

WEST BERLIN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2006-- Dynasil Corporation of America (OTCBB:DYSL) and Evaporated Metal Films Corp. of Ithaca, New York ("EMF") are pleased to announce that a definitive agreement has been signed for Dynasil to acquire 100% of the stock of EMF for a cash payment at closing. Dynasil is a manufacturer of optical blanks from synthetic fused silica and other optical materials as well as optical components and specialized optical systems for the laser, optical instrument, and general optics markets. EMF Corporation produces optical thin-film coatings for a broad range of application markets including display systems, optical instruments, satellite communications, and lighting. EMF has optical coatings capabilities that are targeted additions to those currently offered by Dynasil including its Optometrics subsidiary.

Consummation of the transaction is contingent upon several important conditions including successful completion of debt and equity financing efforts which are currently well underway. The transaction closing is currently scheduled for October 2, 2006. The current EMF owner and CEO, Ms. Megan Shay, plans to continue in an active leadership role and executive position for at least one year after closing. If consummated, Dynasil's plan is for EMF to continue to operate from its Ithaca, N.Y. facility as a Dynasil business unit. Ms. Shay commented that "This is a very positive development for EMF customers and employees since Dynasil brings increased capabilities and resources to EMF." The acquisition of EMF is expected to immediately increase Dynasil revenues by 40-50% and to contribute significant net income in the future. Mr. Craig Dunham, Dynasil's President and CEO, had the following comments on the definitive agreement: "I believe that EMF will be an excellent addition to Dynasil with EMF's broad capabilities for optical coatings, strong people, and optical customers and markets that fit well with Dynasil. EMF and Dynasil have some complementary strengths that we expect will result in increased growth and profitability for both companies."
