   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SRI SURGICAL REPORTS RESULTS FOR

SECOND QUARTER 2011

TAMPA, FL— Monday, August 8, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

For the second quarter of 2011, SRI Surgical reported total revenue of $26,781,000, an increase of $1,734,000, or 6.9%, from the second quarter of 2010. The net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $810,000, or $0.13 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $313,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted common share, reported for the second quarter of 2010. For the first six months of 2011, SRI Surgical reported total revenue of $54,111,000, an increase of $4,453,000, or 9.0%, from the first half of 2010. Net loss for the first six months of 2011 was $1,299,000, or $0.20 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $1,846,000, or $0.29 per basic and diluted common share, reported for the first half of 2010.

SRI Surgical’s net loss for the second quarter of 2011 included $970,000 of increased expenses for health insurance claims, cotton towels and fuel when compared to expenses for those items in the second quarter of 2010. The increased health insurance costs were attributable to $711,000 of increased claims for which SRI Surgical retains liability under its health insurance program, and $140,000 and $120,000 of increased costs for cotton towels and fuel, respectively, caused by higher commodity prices.

On August 4, 2011, SRI Surgical completed a new five-year $28.7 million credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., its existing lender, which replaces its previous three-year credit facility that was set to expire on August 7, 2011.

Gerald Woodard, Chief Executive Officer said “We have placed a significant amount of time and effort in growing our revenues, especially our reusable revenues, and as a result we saw another good quarter of top line growth compared to last year. Even with the level of revenue growth we had this quarter, our profitability was impacted by an uncharacteristically high level of health insurance costs, as well as higher cotton prices and diesel fuel costs. We continue to focus on growing revenues and we expect improving financial results during the second half of the year.”
