Miami, FL – May 12, 2008 – DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. (AMEX:DCU) today reported results of operations for the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 2008. Revenues for the nine months decreased to $15,075,712 from $17,436,944 from the same period of fiscal 2007.

Venerando J. Indelicato, Chief Financial Officer of DRYCLEAN USA, Inc., stated: “The quarter was disappointing as the slowing domestic economy and difficult credit conditions affected the Company’s revenues. A number of orders were postponed during the short term due to financing difficulties. However, foreign orders have been strong, increasing by 31.1% during the first nine months. In addition, the Company has received a number of large orders substantially increasing its backlog.” Mr. Indelicato also stated that most of these new orders would be shipped in fiscal 2009.
