• Two distributors (Barnett Medical and Gamma HealthCare) have purchased initial systems to establish waste processing centers in their respective territories.  These systems are currently in backlog and are scheduled for delivery in the first and second quarters of 2011.
• The Company, through its distributor network and direct sales efforts, has created a pipeline of new business opportunities of $25 million as it heads into 2011.  
• MedClean has forged partnerships with industry consultants that are actively working with over 700 health care organizations to lower their respective costs.  Such relationships continue to introduce the company to the "C" suite to help shorten sales cycles.
• MedClean has developed new partnerships through its active involvement and sponsorship of the Independent Medical Waste Transporters Association (IMWTA.com).  Currently the IMWTA has 51 active members in the organization and continues to grow daily.
• MedClean is now positioned to offer its technology as a service by collaborating with its IMWTA partners to address the needs of both large and small quantity medical waste generators.  Collaborating with a nationwide network of transporters enables the Company to leverage its technology to address customer needs while growing a recurring revenue base.  Furthermore, this collaboration is a catalyst for the company's growing pipeline of business opportunities and provides access to all size waste generators, effectively doubling the Company's target market.  In the past the targeted market was limited to hospitals with 300 beds or higher.

"We are poised and ready for a break out results in 2011 and beyond," commented David Laky, MedClean's President and CEO.  "We believe a strong backlog, rapidly increasing pipeline, a trained distribution channel, excellent industry partners, and an expanded technology and service offering position the Company for exponential growth over the next five years.  Our current outlook based on booked business, a strong pipeline, and the company's conservative revenue recognition policies based on system delivery calls for first quarter revenues between $1.0 – $1.6 million, second quarter revenues between $1.6 – $2.2 million, with revenues targeted to continue to increase into the second half of the year."  

Mr. Laky continued, "The management team at MedClean understands that the market evaluates us on results.  We continue to balance our ambitious growth objectives while minimizing fixed cash overhead expenses as we move toward positive cash flow and profitability in 2011.  The company has access to capital to support its operations to ensure we can execute our growth initiatives in the future."
