DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. Reports Increased Fiscal 2004 Second Quarter and First Half
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results
- -------

Miami, FL - February 13, 2004. DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. (AMEX:DCU), today reported
improved operating results for both the six and three month periods ended
December 31, 2003.

Revenues for the six month period ended December 31, 2003 were $7,441,172
compared to $7,281,638 from the same period of a year ago. Net income increased
22.4% to $279,247, or $.04 per diluted share, for the six month period of fiscal
2004, from $228,130, or $.03 per diluted share, for the same period of fiscal
2003. For the second quarter of fiscal 2004, revenues increased by 19.4% to
$4,141,311 from $3,469,965 for the second quarter of last year. Net income for
the three-month period increased to $196,088, or $.03 per diluted share in
fiscal 2004 from $44,742, or $.01 per diluted share for the same fiscal 2003
period.

Venerando J. Indelicato, Chief Financial Officer of DRYCLEAN USA, Inc, stated: "
We are gratified to see a substantial improvement in earnings for the six month
period, over the same period of last year. Improved margins coupled with reduced
selling and administrative expenses provided the Company with a 42.9% increase
in operating income". He also reported, "Due to customer site construction
delays some shipments scheduled for the first quarter were shipped in the second
quarter. Therefore, it is more meaningful to analyze operating results for the
full six-month period rather than by quarter."

DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. 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. Founded in 1960,
its dry cleaning and laundry machinery division is also one of the nation's
leading distributors of industrial laundry, dry cleaning machines and steam
boilers.

This press release contains certain information that is subject to a number of
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results and
trends to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Information concerning such factors are discussed in
Company reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
