FINANCIAL RESULTS QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
At June 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $15.0 million compared to $68.6 million at December 31, 2015. The Company used approximately $53.6 million of cash during the six month period principally for the purchase of investment securities of $47.6 million, stock repurchases of $6.0 million, payment of DuPont related transaction costs of $1.9 million and operating activities of $2.1 million offset by cash received from the litigation settlement of $2.1 million, cash received by Dyadic on DuPont’s behalf in connection with the DuPont transition services agreement of $1.7 million and other cash items of $0.2 million.
Cash and cash equivalents do not include the $7.4 million of cash held in escrow in connection with the DuPont Transaction, which we anticipate will be released on July 1, 2017. Although none are anticipated, such amount is subject to reduction should there be any claims from DuPont.
The Company repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of its common stock at an average of $1.69 per share during the second quarter, and an aggregate of approximately 4.0 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $1.49 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 800,000 additional shares at an average price of $1.62 through August 10th. As of August 10, 2016, we have approximately $10,700,000 still available under our announced Stock Repurchase Program.
Net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $0.6 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, for the same period a year ago.
Net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $0.4 million, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.3 million, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, for the same period a year ago.
Research and development revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 59% to approximately $101,800 compared to $64,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in revenue for the period reflects activity from one ongoing and one discontinued biopharmaceutical R&D project.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased 9% to approximately $1,983,900 compared to $2,183,000 for the same period a year ago. The decrease primarily reflects lower employee related costs due to the organizational downsizing in connection with the DuPont Transaction of $566,300, cost reimbursement received from DuPont for services rendered in the transition services agreement of $182,200 and a decrease in litigation costs of $105,500, offset by an increase in non-cash stock compensation in connection with the Special Committee of the Board of $200,000, an increase in executive compensation costs of $244,700, an increase in costs related to the Company's transition to a biopharmaceutical research company of $133,600 and an increase in financial personnel compensation and related recruitment costs of $76,600.
Research and development expenses from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased to approximately $594,300 compared to $0, for the same periods a year ago. The increase reflects the R&D activities and the service agreement with DuPont to support our ongoing biopharmaceutical and internally funded projects.
Net Income from discontinued operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 were approximately $1.1 million, and $1.5 million, respectively, or $0.03 and $0.04 per basic and diluted share, respectively.

About Dyadic International, Inc.
Dyadic International, Inc. is a global biotechnology company which is developing what it believes will be a potentially significant protein production system based on the fungus Myceliopthora thermophila, nicknamed C1. The C1 microorganism, which enables the development and large scale manufacture of low cost proteins, has the potential to be further developed into a safe and efficient expression system that may help speed up the development, production and performance of biologic drugs at flexible commercial scales. Dyadic is using the C1 technology and other technologies to conduct research, development and commercial activities for the development and manufacturing of human and animal vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, biosimilars and/or biobetters, and other therapeutic proteins. Dyadic pursues research and development collaborations, licensing arrangements and other commercial opportunities with its partners and collaborators to leverage the value and benefits of these technologies in developing and manufacturing biopharmaceuticals which these technologies help produce. In particular, as the aging population grows in developed and undeveloped countries, Dyadic believes the C1 technology may help bring biologic drugs to market faster, in greater volumes, at lower cost, and with new properties to drug developers and manufacturers and, hopefully, improve access and cost to patients and the healthcare system, but most importantly saving lives.
