Dynasil Divests XRF Product Line
Proceeds Used to Reduce Bank Debt


Watertown, Mass., November 7, 2013 - Dynasil Corporation of America
(NASDAQ: DYSL), a developer of sensing, detection and analysis
technology for homeland security, medical and industrial applications,
today completed the sale of the assets of its X-Ray Florescence (XRF)
Lead Paint Detector product line to PROTEC Instrument Corporation, the
U.S. subsidiary of its long-time distributor, French firm Laboratories
PROTEC S.A.

This transaction is a step in the previously announced strategy to
restructure the Company to improve liquidity and pay down bank debt.
The consummation of this divestiture resulted in a payment to Santander
Bank, N.A., the Company's primary lender of approximately $1.2 million,
which reduced the balance of the Company's outstanding indebtedness to
Santander to $5.3 million.  As previously reported, at September 30,
2012, the Company's indebtedness to Santander was approximately $9.0
million.  The Company also has a subordinated $3 million note to
Massachusetts Capital Resource Corporation which has not been paid
down.

"This divestiture is an important step in our strategy to focus our
business and improve our balance sheet," said Peter Sulick, Chairman
and CEO of Dynasil.  "We are very pleased to consummate the sale of the
XRF assets to our long-time strategic partner, Protec.  With this
acquisition, Protec will be substantially expanding their operations in
the U.S.   Protec has been the sole distributor of the LPA in France,
and, as such, is very familiar with the product."

"With the recent spin off of our tissue sealant technology and now the sale
of the XRF assets, Dynasil has reduced outstanding indebtedness while also
eliminating cost," continued Mr. Sulick.  "While we cannot yet report that
we are out of technical default with our creditors, we expect to continue
to make near-term progress toward this goal."
