Venerando J. Indelicato, Chief Financial Officer of DRYCLEAN USA Inc., stated that: "The Company has performed exceedingly well during the first six months of fiscal 2007, reaching record revenues and profits. Although the second quarter was somewhat disappointing, in terms of the lower earnings, it nevertheless was expected given the lower margins used to gain market share. In any case we are happy with the increased revenues and look forward to a successful second half of the fiscal year."
