SRI SURGICAL REPORTS RESULTS FOR

FIRST QUARTER 2011

TAMPA, FL— Monday, May 9, 2011 — SRI/Surgical Express, Inc. (SRI) (Nasdaq: STRC), a leading provider of reusable surgical device reprocessing services supporting the healthcare industry, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

For the first quarter of 2011, SRI Surgical reported total revenue of $27,330,000, an increase of $2,719,000 over the first quarter of 2010. The net loss for the first quarter of 2011 was $490,000 or $0.08 per basic and diluted common share compared to a net loss for the first quarter of 2010 of $1,533,000 or $0.24 per basic and diluted common share.

When comparing the first quarter of 2011 to 2010, the Company’s improvement reflects increased revenues, which provides leverage of the Company’s processing facilities, as well as lower levels of reusable product loss and scrap, improved labor efficiency in operations, and lower professional fees and travel related costs. Partially offsetting these favorable developments were higher medical claims and distribution costs, which were primarily related to the increase in the price per gallon of diesel fuel since last year. The Company also incurred higher Group Purchasing Organization marketing and administrative fees related to the increase in revenues in member hospitals.

Gerald Woodard, Chief Executive Officer said “We continue to grow our top line, as we experienced an 11% increase in revenues in the first quarter of 2011 when compared to 2010. In addition, revenues for the first quarter were the highest of any first quarter in the Company’s history. As we stated on our fourth quarter conference call, certain costs we experience in our first quarter impact our overall profitability. These costs will not continue throughout the remaining quarters of 2011. We are optimistic about the remainder of the year and anticipate our financial results will demonstrate favorable year-over-year comparisons as the year progresses.”
