"Year-over-year revenue results were extremely positive and we managed to continue to reduce our operational expenses while growing our revenue," stated David Laky, President & CEO of MedClean Technologies, Inc. "Our overall business plan has been well received by partners and peers in the market.  The Company will continue to focus on building operational integrity through improving recurring revenue streams, implementing the localized processing center model, and managing operating expenses. We have also begun the process of investigating new business opportunities through tighter integration with partners and providers of industry related products and services that would benefit from our industry expertise and connectivity developed via our distributor and IMWTA hauler network. While I commend our team for the hard work and strong improvements in 2011, we all understand that we have to compound these improvements to scale our business model with the first goal of profitability while also expanding our addressable market with the new opportunities outside of one-time system sales."

Mr. Laky added, "We will be hosting a conference call with investors on Monday, May 21, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. The call will include an overview of our 2011 financial results and will include a question and answer session for shareholders.  We feel this type of communication will provide the best forum to provide additional information on recent developments."

Full Year Financial Results:

Total revenue for 2011 was $1,717,721 compared with $896,993 for 2010, representing a revenue increase of $820,729 or 91%.  The net gain in revenue was attributed to an increase in MedClean System sales of  $1,010,200, and a decrease of $(189,472) in the sale of consumables, component parts, and service contracts.

Revenues from MedClean System Sales for 2011 were $1,010,200 compared to $-0- in 2010.

Revenues derived from the sale of consumables, component parts and service contracts decreased to $707,521 compared to $896,993 in the prior year. The revenue was attributable to orders for goods and services from the Company's existing installed base of hospitals that have previously purchased a MedClean System. Service revenues decline in direct proportion to a reduction in corrective maintenance services work. Service billings will continue to fluctuate period to period based upon equipment service requirements.

The gross profit for 2011 was $725,752 (42.3% of total revenue) compared with a gross profit in 2010 of $470,295 (52.5% of total revenue). The decrease in gross profit margin as compared to the prior year can be attributed to lower profit margins on system sales. The components of costs of revenues for system sales include direct materials, depreciation, shipping and rigging costs, and contract labor.

Total operating expenses for 2011 were $3,579,315 compared with $4,787,192 for 2010, a decrease of $1,207,877 or 25.3%.
