PART I

General

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 30, 1963 under the name Metro-Tel Corp. and changed its name to DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. on November 7, 1999. Since November 1, 1998, when Steiner-Atlantic Corp. ("Steiner") was merged with and into, and therefore became, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company's principal business has been as a supplier of commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment and steam boilers and related activities.

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this Report, the "Company" includes DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The Company, through Steiner, sells commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment, and steam boilers in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin American markets. This aspect of the Company's business includes:

The Company, through its DRYCLEAN USA LICENSE CORP. wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, owns the worldwide rights to the name DRYCLEAN USA®, along with existing franchise and license agreements. DRYCLEAN USA® is one of the largest franchise and license operations in the dry cleaning industry in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America.

DRYCLEAN USA Development Corp. ("DRYCLEAN USA Development"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, enters into leases for new dry cleaning establishments for resale to third parties .

Available Information

The Company files Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, files or furnishes Current Reports on Form 8-K, files or furnishes amendments to those reports, and files proxy and information statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These reports and statements may be read and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. These reports and statements, as well as beneficial ownership reports filed by the Company's officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company's common stock, may be obtained without charge through the Company's Internet site http://www.drycleanusa.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

Product Lines

The Company sells a broad line of commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment and steam boilers, as well as parts and accessories therefor.

The commercial and industrial laundry equipment distributed by the Company features washers and dryers, including coin-operated machines, boilers, water reuse and heat reclamation systems, flatwork ironers, automatic folders and feeders. The Company's dry cleaning equipment includes commercial dry cleaning machines manufactured by others under the Company's Aero-Tech®, Multi-Jet® and Green-Jet® names, as well as garment presses, finishing equipment, sorting and storage conveyors and accessories distributed for others.

The Company's proprietary environmentally friendlyGreen-Jet® dry-wetcleaning machine not only cleans garments efficiently, but also eliminates the use of perchloroethylene (Perc) in the dry cleaning process, thereby eliminating the health and environmental concerns that Perc poses to customers and their landlords. It also alleviates flammability, odor and cost issues inherent in alternative solvents and cleaning processes. In May 2005, patents were granted to the Company from the United States to protect this innovative approach to garment cleaning. In August 2003, the Company introduced its Multi-Jet® dry cleaning machine which uses a number of environmentally safe solvents.

The products sold by the Company are positioned and priced to appeal to customers in each of the high-end, mid-range and value priced markets. These products are offered under a wide range of price points to address the needs of a diverse customer base. Suggested prices for most of the Company's products range from approximately $5,000 to $400,000. The products supplied by the Company afford the Company's customers a "one-stop shop" for commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning machines, boilers and accessories. By providing "one-stop" shopping, the Company believes it is better able to attract and support potential customers who can choose from the Company's broad product line. Product and parts sales accounted for approximately 99% of revenues in fiscal 2009 and 97% in fiscal 2008.

The Company seeks to establish customer satisfaction by offering:

In addition, the Company, under the name DRYCLEAN USA®, currently franchises and licenses drycleaning stores in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America. During fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company's license and franchise segment contributed approximately .7% and 1.2%, respectively, of the Company's revenues.

The operations of Biz Brokers International, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which assisted others seeking to buy or sell Dry Cleaning stores and coin laundry businesses, were discontinued during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 due to the slowing economy. This subsidiary did not generate any revenues during fiscal 2009 and contributed less than 1% of the Company's revenues in fiscal 2008.

DRYCLEAN USA Development enters into leases for new dry cleaning establishments for resale to third parties. During fiscal 2009 and 2008, DRYCLEAN USA Development contributed less than 1% of the Company's revenues.

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support

The laundry and dry cleaning equipment products marketed by the Company are sold by it to its customers in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America, as well as customers of its DRYCLEAN USA licensing subsidiary. The Company employs sales executives to market its proprietary and distributed products, including its Aero-Tech®, Multi-Jet® and Green-Jet®products, inthe United States and in international markets. The Company supports product sales by advertising in trade publications, participating in trade shows and engaging in regional promotions and sales incentive programs. A substantial portion of equipment and parts sales orders are obtained by telephone, e-mail and fax inquiries originated by the customer or by representatives of the Company, and significant repeat sales are derived from existing customers.

The Company trains its sales and service employees to provide service and customer support. The Company uses specialized classroom training, instructional videos and vendor sponsored seminars to educate employees about product information. In addition, the Company's technical staff has prepared comprehensive training manuals, written in English and Spanish, relating to specific training procedures. The Company's technical personnel are continuously retrained as new technology is developed. The Company monitors service technicians' continued educational experience and fulfillment of requirements in order to evaluate their competence. All of the Company's service technicians receive service bulletins, service technicians' tips and continued training seminars.

Customers and Markets

The Company's customer base consists of approximately 1,700 customers in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America, including independent and franchise dry cleaning stores and chains, hotels, motels, cruise lines, hospitals, nursing homes, government institutions and distributors. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenues during fiscal 2009 and 2008.

Foreign Sales

For the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, export revenues, principally to the Caribbean and Latin America, aggregated approximately $5,160,000 and $4,347,000, respectively, of which approximately $5,038,000 and $4,161,000, respectively, related to commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment.

All of the Company's export sales require the customer to make payment in United States dollars. Accordingly, foreign sales may be affected by the strength of the United States dollar relative to the currencies of the countries in which their customers and competitors are located, as well as the strength of the economies of the countries in which the Company's customers are located.

Sources of Supply

The Company purchases laundry and dry cleaning machines, boilers and the other products from a number of manufacturers. Two of its suppliers each accounted for approximately 30% of the Company's purchases for the year ended June 30, 2009. These suppliers accounted for 22% and 16%, respectively, of the Company's purchases for the year ended June 30, 2008. The Company's major suppliers are Pellerin Milnor Corporation, Chicago Dryer Company, and American Dryer Corp Historically, the Company has not experienced difficulty in purchasing products it distributes for others and believes it has good working relationships with its suppliers.

The Company's proprietary Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning machines are currently manufactured exclusively for the Company by one manufacturer in the United States. Substantially all of the Company's dry cleaning equipment sold under the Aero-Tech® and Multi-Jet® labels is currently manufactured exclusively for the Company by two manufacturers in Italy.

The Company has established long-standing relationships with these manufacturers. The Company's management believes its supplier relationships for the products it distributes for others and its proprietary products provide the Company with a substantial competitive advantage, including exclusivity for certain products in certain areas and favorable prices and terms. Therefore, the loss of certain of these vendor relationships could adversely affect the Company's business.

The Company has a formal contract with only a few of its equipment suppliers and manufacturers and relies on its long-standing relationship with its other suppliers and manufacturers. The Company collaborates in the design of products and closely monitors the quality of its manufactured product. The Company must place its orders with its United States manufacturer of the Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning machine and with its Italian manufacturers of its Aero-Tech® and Multi-Jet® dry cleaning machines prior to the time the Company has received all of its orders and, in certain instances, places orders for products it distributes in advance of its receipt of sales orders. However, because of the Company's close working relationship with its suppliers and manufacturers, the Company can usually adjust orders rapidly and efficiently to reflect a change in customer demands. The Company believes that if, for any reason, its arrangements with the manufacturers of its proprietary products were to cease, or in the event the cost of these products were to be adversely affected, it will be able to have these products manufactured by other suppliers.

The Company's current bank revolving credit facility includes a $250,000 foreign exchange subfacility for the purpose of enabling the Company to mitigate its currency exposure in connection with its import activities through spot foreign exchange and forward exchange contracts. There were no open foreign exchange contracts at either June 30, 2009 or 2008.

Imports into the United States are also affected by the cost of transportation, the imposition of import duties and increased competition from greater production demands abroad. The United States, Italy and the European Union may, from time to time, impose quotas, duties, tariffs or other restrictions or adjust prevailing quotas, duties or tariff levels, which could affect the Company's margins on its Aero-Tech® and Multi-Jet® machines. There have been no custom duties on the Company's imported dry cleaning machines in either fiscal 2009 and 2008.

Competition

The commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment distribution business is highly competitive and fragmented with over 100 full-line or partial-line equipment distributors in the United States. The Company's management believes that no one distributor has a major share of the market, substantially all distributors are independently owned and, with the exception of several regional distributors, operate primarily in local markets. Competition is based primarily on price, product quality, delivery and support services provided to the customer. In Florida, the Company's principal domestic market, the Company's primary competition is derived from a number of full line distributors, which operate throughout Florida. In the export market, the Company competes with several distributors and anticipates increased competition as the export market grows. The Company's proprietary dry cleaning equipment competes with over a dozen manufacturers of dry cleaning equipment whose products are distributed nationally. In all geographic areas, the Company competes by offering an extensive product selection, value-added services, such as product inspection and quality assurance, a toll-free customer support line, reliability, warehouse location, price, competitive special features and, with respect to certain products, as to which the Company acts as distributor, exclusivity.

As a franchisor/licensor of retail dry cleaning stores, DRYCLEAN USA competes with several other franchisors and turn-key suppliers of dry cleaning stores primarily on the basis of trademark recognition and reputation.

Research and Development

The Company has designed and introduced its Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning and Multi-Jet® drycleaning machines and continues to improve these products. Research and development expense has become minimal as most of the Company's products are distributed for manufacturers that perform their own research and development.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company is the owner of United States service mark registrations for the names Aero-Tech®, Multi-Jet® and Green-Jet®, which are used in connection with its laundry and dry cleaning equipment, and of DRYCLEAN USA®, which is licensed by it to retail dry cleaning establishments. The Company intends to use and protect these or related service marks, as necessary. The Company believes its trademarks and service marks have significant value and are an important factor in the marketing of its products. Patents were granted in May 2005 for the protection of the Company's Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaningmachine in the United States which will expire in May 2021.

On January 3, 2005, the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement with Whirlpool Corporation ("Whirlpool") in which the Company granted Whirlpool an exclusive license until December 31, 2008 and thereafter a non-exclusive license to make and sell laundry appliances incorporating the Company's patent applications and other intellectual property related to fabric treatment 

technology for improving the drying and refreshing of garments in home clothes dryers. In consideration for the grant of the exclusive license through December 31, 2008, Whirlpool paid the Company $350,000, of which $331,100 was for the exclusive license fee. In addition, Whirlpool is to pay the Company a per unit royalty for dryers using the licensed technology that are sold during the three year period following the first sale following commercial production of dryers using the license technology. As of June 30, 2009, Whirlpool has not paid any royalties to the Company. Whirlpool Corporation retains a non-exclusive license and the Company is free to license its technology to other manufacturers.

Compliance with Environmental and Other Government Laws and Regulations

Over the past several decades in the United States, federal, state and local governments have enacted environmental protection laws in response to public concerns about the environment, including with respect to perchloroethylene (Perc), the primary cleaning agent historically used in the commercial and industrial dry cleaning process. A number of industries, including the commercial and industrial dry cleaning and laundry equipment industries, are subject to these evolving laws and implementing regulations. As a supplier to the industry, the Company serves customers who are primarily responsible for compliance with environmental regulations. Among the federal laws that the Company believes are applicable to the industry are the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), which provides for the investigation and remediation of hazardous waste sites; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended ("RCRA"), which regulates the generation and transportation of hazardous waste as well as its treatment, storage and disposal; and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act ("OSHA"), which regulates exposure to toxic substances and other health and safety hazards in the workplace. Most states and a number of localities have laws that regulate the environment which are at least as stringent as the federal laws. In Florida, for example, in which a significant amount of the Company's dry cleaning and laundry equipment sales are made, environmental matters are regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection which generally follows the United States government's Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") policy in the EPA's implementation of CERCLA and RCRA and closely adheres to OSHA's standards.

The Company believes its Aero-Tech® and Multi-Jet® dry cleaning machines and its Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning machine exceed environmental regulationstandards set by safety and environmental regulatory agencies.

The Company does not believe that compliance with Federal, state and local environmental and other laws and regulations which have been adopted have had, or will have, a material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

The Company is also subject to Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") regulations and various state laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises. The FTC and various state laws require the Company to, among other things, furnish to prospective franchisees a franchise disclosure document containing prescribed information. Certain states in the United States require separate filings in order to offer and sell franchises in those states. The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with these laws.

Employees

The Company currently employs 29 employees on a full-time basis, of whom 3 serve in executive management capacities, 12 are engaged in sales and marketing, 8 are administrative and clerical personnel, 2 are in service, and 4 serve as warehouse support. None of the Company's employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, nor has the Company experienced any work stoppages. The Company believes that its relations with employees are satisfactory.

Not applicable.

None.

The Company's executive offices and the main distribution center for its products are housed in three leased adjacent facilities totaling approximately 45,000 square feet in Miami, Florida. The Company believes its facilities are adequate for its present and anticipated future needs. The following table sets forth certain information concerning the leases at these facilities:

The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Not applicable.

PART II

The Company's Common Stock is traded on the NYSE Amex under the symbol "DCU." The following table sets forth, for the Company's Common Stock, the high and low sales prices on the Amex, as reported by Amex, for the periods reflected below.

As of September 18, 2009, there were approximately 350 holders of record of the Company's Common Stock.

The only cash dividend declared by the Company's Board of Directors during the periods covered by this Report was a dividend of $.04 per share (an aggregate of $281,372) declared on September 25, 2007 to shareholders of record on October 12, 2007 and paid on November 1, 2007. The Company eliminated the payment of dividends thereafter.

The Company is a party to a Loan and Security Agreement with a commercial bank, which, among other things, provides that the Company may declare or pay dividends only to the extent that the dividend payment would not reasonably likely result in a failure by the Company to maintain specified consolidated debt service or short-term debt to equity ratios.

The Company did not sell any equity securities during the year ended June 30, 2009 that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company purchased 143 shares of its common stock from one stockholder during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 at a price of $.80 per share. The repurchase was not solicited and was not made pursuant to any publicly announced repurchase plan or program.

General

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto which appear in Item 8 of this Report.

Overview

Revenues for fiscal 2009 were $23,155,417, a record for the Company, and 2.0% higher than fiscal 2008, although net earnings decreased by 12.5%. The single most important factor causing this decrease was a reduction of $88,739 in interest income caused by the lower prevailing interest rates despite larger average outstanding cash balances. Operating income decreased by 1.7% as a result of lower gross profit margins partially offset by a reduction in selling, general and administration expenses and the absence of expenses resulting from the elimination of the Company's retail dry cleaning and coin laundry brokerage business. Foreign revenues continued strong increasing by 18.7% over fiscal 2008.

Both accounts receivable and inventories decreased substantially from the highs at the end of fiscal 2008. Heavy shipments during June 2008 were paid for and inventories amassed at fiscal 2008 year end were reduced to more normal levels through shipments during fiscal 2009. These reductions translated into a strong cash position at June 30, 2009.

Fiscal 2010 is expected to be a challenging year as the credit crisis, if it continues, is expected to have a greater affect on the operations of the Company than it had in fiscal 2009. While our backlog sustained Company sales during fiscal 2009, it is now down to a lower than normal level as new orders have trended lower than shipments. However, it is anticipated that the economy will improve during fiscal 2010 releasing pent-up demand that awaits financing. In addition, the Company has added a new boiler product line to enhance its existing line of products which is expected to contribute to 2010 sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2009, cash increased by $1,571,218 compared to a decrease of $406,679 during fiscal 2008.

The following table summarizes the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:

For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2009, operating activities provided cash of $1,597,048 compared to $72,539 of cash used by operating activities in fiscal 2008.

The cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to a decrease of $1,653,511 in accounts and trade notes receivable and a decrease of $811,952 in inventories. Heavy shipments during June 2008 caused year-end accounts and trade notes receivable to spike higher than normal, while at the same time inventories were increased to support a higher than normal backlog, which was shipped in fiscal 2009. Cash was also increased by the Company's net earnings of $526,863 and non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of $128,219, bad debt expense of $81,713 and an increase in inventory reserves of $77,212. A reserve was placed against cancelled merchandise to better reflect market value. These cash increases were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expense of $773,380 due to the reduced level of inventory buying and a decrease in customer

deposits of $582,167 as new orders trended lower during the year. In addition, cash was used due to decreases of $93,601 in accrued employee expenses and $16,682 in income taxes payable, a non-cash benefit of $76,914 in deferred income taxes and increases in refundable income taxes of $51,220 and other current assets of $47,071. Cash was also used as a result of a decrease of $41,387 in unearned income associated with the amortization of the initial fee received by the Company from Whirlpool Corporation in January 2005, which fee was fully amortized at December 31, 2008.

The cash used by operating activities in fiscal 2008 was primarily due to an increase of $1,282,966 in accounts and trade notes receivable due to heavy shipments in the month of June 2008 and a $978,537 increase in inventories needed to support an increase in orders. These uses were substantially offset by cash provided by an increase of $1,064,366 in customer deposits and the Company's fiscal 2008 net earnings of $601,852, which included non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of $132,369 and bad debt expenses of $66,514 offset by a non-cash deferred income tax benefit of $49,075. Additional cash was provided by an increase of $410,741 in accounts payable due to the increased purchase of inventory and a decrease of $64,131 in refundable income taxes. Cash was also used as a result of an increase of $30,237 in other assets and a decrease of $82,775 in unearned income associated with the amortization of the initial fee received by the Company from Whirlpool Corporation.

Investing activities used cash of $25,715 and $52,258 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, mostly for capital expenditures of machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements.

Financing activities used cash of $115 in fiscal 2009 to purchase 143 shares of the Company's common stock. In fiscal 2008 investing activities used cash of $281,882, mostly to pay cash dividends which have since been discontinued.

On October 10, 2008, the Company received an extension until October 30, 2009 of its existing $2,250,000 revolving line of credit facility. The Company's obligations under the facility continue to be guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries and collateralized by substantially all of the Company's and its subsidiaries' assets. The Company has had no borrowings under this facility since May 2003. The Company intends to renew, and believes the bank will agree to renew, this line for another year.

The Company believes that its present cash position, the cash it expects to generate from operations and, should it need cash not presently anticipated, cash borrowings available under its line of credit will be sufficient to meet its presently contemplated operational needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing

The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Results of Operations

Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2009 were a record, increasing by $450,274 (2.0%) from fiscal 2008. The increase was in the commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning segment, which increased by $572,109 (2.6%), primarily due to strong foreign sales which increased by 21.0%. Revenues of the Company's license and franchise segment decreased by $121,835 (43.1%) as royalties and new franchises declined due to the recessionary economy. License revenues contributed less than 1% of the Company's revenues for fiscal 2009. For the year ended June 30, 2009, sales of commercial laundry

equipment increased by 28.0%; however, this increase was partially offset by decreases of 61.9% in dry cleaning equipment sales, 51.3% in boiler sales and 3.4% in spare parts sales. Revenues of the Company's Development division, which is included in the commercial laundry and dry cleaning segment contributed less than 1% of the Company's revenues.

Overall expenses of the Company as a percentage of total revenues were approximately the same in fiscal 2009 and 2008, as increased cost of goods sold were virtually offset by reduced selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cost of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of sales, increased to 78.1% in fiscal 2009 compared to 77.2% in fiscal 2008. The increase in costs was mostly due to lower margins on large contracts and the mix of products sold as higher margin dry cleaning equipment sales have decreased while lower margin sales of laundry equipment have increased.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $347,559 (7.1%) in fiscal 2009 from fiscal 2008, and as a percentage of revenues decreased to 19.6% in fiscal 2009 from 21.5% in fiscal 2008. The reductions were primarily due to the termination of the Company's retail dry cleaning and coin laundry brokerage business and a reduction in payroll expenses due to a reduced staff. The decrease in this category of expenses, as a percentage of revenue, was achieved by the effect of both the reduction of these costs and the increased sales.

Interest income decreased by $88,739 (54.3%) in fiscal 2009 from fiscal 2008 as a result of lower prevailing interest rates despite higher average outstanding bank balances.

The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 38.2% in fiscal 2009 from 37.0% in fiscal 2008 primarily due to the elimination of the foreign tax exclusion benefit.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company's operations during any of the reported periods.

Transactions with Related Parties

The Company leases 27,000 square feet of warehouse and office space from Sheila Steiner, who, together with her husband, William K. Steiner, Chairman of the Board of Directors and a director of the Company, are the trustees of a trust which is a principal shareholder of the Company. The lease is for a three-year period beginning November 1, 2005, with annual increases of 3% over the rent in the prior year commencing November 1, 2006. The Company is to bear the costs of real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, non-structural repairs and insurance. The lease contains two three-year renewal options in favor of the Company. The Company exercised its first renewal option to extend this lease until October 31, 2011. The Company believes that the terms of the lease are comparable to terms that would be obtained from an unaffiliated third party for similar property in a similar locale.

In fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company paid a law firm, in which a director is of counsel, approximately $51,100 and $59,100, respectively, for legal services performed.

Critical Accounting Policies

Securities and Exchange Commission Financial Reporting Release No. 60 encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, the carrying value of inventories and long-lived assets, the timing of revenue recognition for initial license and franchise fees from sales of franchise arrangements and continuing license and franchise service fees, as well as sales returns. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the recognition of revenues and expenses and the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts and Notes Receivable

Equipment and replacement parts are generally shipped FOB from the Company's warehouse or drop shipped FOB factory at which time risk of loss and title passes to the purchaser and the sale is recorded. Commissions and development fees are recorded when earned, generally when the services are performed or the transaction is closed. Individual franchise arrangements include a license and provide for payment of initial fees, as well as continuing royalties. Initial franchise fees are generally recorded upon the opening of the franchised store, which is evidenced by a certificate from the franchisee, indicating that the store has opened, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Continuing royalties represent regular contractual payments received for the use of the "Dryclean USA" marks, which are recognized as revenue when earned, generally on a straight line basis.

Accounts and trade notes receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its products primarily to independent dry clean and laundry plants. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and depending on the term of credit, the amount of the credit granted and management's past history with a customer, the Company may require the customer to grant a security interest in the purchased equipment as collateral for the receivable. Senior management reviews accounts and notes receivable on a regular basis to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve based on older aged amounts, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. Based on the information available to management, it believes the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2009 is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.

Franchise License Trademark and Other Intangible Assets

The franchise license, trademark, patents and trade name are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Those assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods to be benefited (10-15 years). The patents are amortized over the shorter of the patents' useful life or legal life from the date such patents are granted. The Company reviews the recoverability of intangible assets based primarily upon an analysis of undiscounted cash flows from the intangible assets. In the event the expected future net cash flows should become less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss will be recorded in the period such determination is made based on the fair value of the related assets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

Significant judgment is required in developing the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. Management evaluates its ability to realize its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and adjusts its valuation allowance when it believes that it is more likely that the asset will not be realized.

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ( an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. The adoption of FIN48 did not result in any adjustment to the Company's provision for income taxes.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB Issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS 157") which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and provides for additional fair value disclosures. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) SFAS No. 157-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions," and FSP SFAS No. 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157." FSP SFAS 157-1 removes leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157, while SFAS No. 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. It does not defer recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually. The Company does not believe SFAS 157 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB No. 115," which permits, at specified election dates, all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value. A business entity is to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected is to be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS 159 became effective as to the Company for its current fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2008. FSAS 159 has not had a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC published Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 110, which amends SAB No. 107, to allow for the continued use, under certain circumstances, of the "simplified" method in developing an estimate of the expected term of so-called "plain vanilla" stock options accounted for under SFAS 123(R) beyond December 31, 2007. Companies can use the simplified method if they conclude that their stock option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company has concluded that its stock option exercise experience provides a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term, and therefore, has refined its method to calculate estimates of the expected term of stock options.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411," "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." Any effect of applying the provisions of SFAS No. 162 is to be reported as a change in accounting principle in accordance with SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3." The adoption of SFAS No 162 has not had a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 168, " The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ (Codification) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162", which will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 168 on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1"), which amends SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," and APB opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company is assessing the effect, if any, that FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

All of the Company's export sales require the customer to make payment in United States dollars. Accordingly, foreign sales may be affected by the strength of the United States dollar relative to the currencies of the countries in which their customers and competitors are located, as well as the strength of the economies of the countries in which the Company's customers are located. The Company has, at times in the past, paid certain suppliers in Euros. The Company's bank revolving credit facility contains a $250,000 foreign exchange subfacility for this purpose. The Company had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2009 and 2008.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents are maintained in interest-bearing bank accounts, including a money market account, and a tax-free municipal fund, each of which bear interest at prevailing interest rates. Interest income decreased by $88,739 (54.3%) in fiscal 2009 from fiscal 2008 as a result of lower prevailing interest rates despite higher average outstanding bank balances.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders of

DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and Subsidiaries:

Miami, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Effective July 1, 2009, Berkovits & Company, LLP ("Berkovits"), which served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company's financial statements as at and for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, merged with and into Mallah Furman & Company, P.A. ("Mallah Furman"). On August 29, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the retention of Mallah Furman as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The reports previously issued by Berkovits with respect to the Company are reissued in this report by, and the consents to the use of such reports have been issued by, Mallah, Furman, the successor by merger to Berkovits.

Berkovits' reports on the Company's financial statements as at and for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 and the subsequent period through the date hereof, there were no disagreements with Berkovits or Mallah Furman, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Berkovits or Mallah Furman, would have caused Berkovits or Mallah Furman to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and no "reportable events" described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company, with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and the Company's principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures." As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal officer concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including those officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's periodic reports.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, "internal control over financial reporting" means a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance, based on an appropriate cost-benefit analysis, to the company's management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that the company's transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the company's financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the company's management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the company's financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

The Company' management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework . Based on its assessment, the Company's management concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.
