Financial Results

Total revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased to approximately $3.0 million compared to approximately $2.2 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to approximately $5.3 million compared to approximately $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in total revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2010 was due to an increase in license fee revenue and, with respect to the six month comparison, also due to an increase in research and development revenue.

Net product related revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased to approximately $1.6 million compared to approximately $1.7 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. Net product related revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to approximately $3.5 million from approximately $3.6 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in net product related revenue was primarily due to a decline in sales of textile enzymes.

Research and development revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased to approximately $323,000 compared to approximately $465,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. Research and development revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to approximately $814,000 compared to approximately $554,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

License fee revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased to approximately $1.0 million compared to no license fee revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. License fee revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to approximately $1.0 million compared to approximately $32,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increases in license fee revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2010 were due to a $1.0 million upfront license fee recognized in the second quarter of 2011 from a major player in the animal feed industry pursuant to the research, development and license agreement entered into between Dyadic and this commercial partner in June 2011.

Net loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $736,000, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.4 million, or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $2.2 million, or $(0.07) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of approximately $2.5 million, or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $3.0 million compared to approximately $4.5 million at December 31, 2010. A significant portion of the decrease in cash since the end of last year was due to costs incurred by Dyadic in the completion of the arbitration portion of its professional liability lawsuit against its former auditors and outside counsel.
