MIAMI -- DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. (AMEX: DCU) today reported operating results for both the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2006.

While revenues decreased 8.1% for the first half of fiscal 2006 to $8,611,196 compared to $9,374,794 for the same period of last year, earnings nevertheless rose to $381,206 or $.05 per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal 2006 from $373,601 or $.05 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal 2005.

Venerando J. Indelicato, Chief Financial Officer of DRYCLEAN USA, Inc., stated: "Sales for the first six months of fiscal 2006 were affected by shipping delays caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, mostly in the first three months of our fiscal year. A supplier located in New Orleans, although not fully staffed as yet, is now increasing shipments to us to enable us to fulfill our backlog." Mr. Indelicato indicated that the Company expects continued improvement in the third quarter through year end as the Company's level of backlog is reduced to more normal levels.

Its subsidiary, DRYCLEAN USA License Corp., is one of the largest franchise and license operations in the dry cleaning industry, currently consisting of over 400 franchised and license stores in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America.
