SRI SURGICAL REPORTS RESULTS FOR

THIRD QUARTER 2011

TAMPA, FL— Monday, November 7, 2011 — SRI/Surgical Express, Inc. (SRI Surgical) (Nasdaq: STRC), a leading provider of reusable surgical device reprocessing services supporting the healthcare industry, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

For the third quarter of 2011, SRI Surgical reported total revenue of $26,430,000, an increase of $1,606,000, or 6.5%, from the third quarter of 2010. The net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $534,000, or $0.08 per basic and diluted common share, compared to net income of $21,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted common share, reported for the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, SRI Surgical reported total revenue of $80,542,000, an increase of $6,060,000, or 8.1%, from the first nine-months of 2010. Net loss for the first nine months of 2011 was $1,833,000, or $0.28 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $1,825,000, or $0.28 per basic and diluted common share, reported for the first nine months of 2010.

SRI Surgical’s net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was impacted by $674,000 of increased expenses for health insurance claims and commodity prices when compared to expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2010. The increased health insurance costs were attributable to $340,000 of increased claims for which SRI Surgical retains liability under its health insurance program, and $176,000 and $158,000 of increased commodity prices for cotton towels and diesel fuel, respectively.

Gerald Woodard, Chief Executive Officer said “We continue to see levels of growth in our revenues that we expected; however, our profitability continues to be impacted by the uncharacteristically high level of health insurance costs, as well as higher cotton and diesel prices. We continue to explore initiatives that will lower or control the costs for these items.”

The Company continues its process of exploring and evaluating strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, with the assistance of its financial advisor, McColl Partners, LLC, which it disclosed in its press release dated September 14, 2011. There can be no assurance, however, that a transaction will result.
