BETHEL, Conn., Aug. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MedClean Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MCLN) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Operating highlights include:
- One of MedClean's distributors, Gamma, has purchased a MedClean system but a delay by one of MedClean's sub-contractors has resulted in revenue of $455,000 being deferred from June to July. Revenue to date at July 31, 2011 exceeded total revenue for all of 2010.
- MedClean has also completed a sale as a result of its partnership with a major hospital service provider for an autoclave only MedClean System. The hospital is located in Pennsylvania. Revenue from this transaction is expected to be recognized during 2011.
- MedClean continued to expand its distribution network, adding a major new major distributor in the Northeast with capabilities that will expand MedClean's service offering beyond just Regulated Medical Waste (RMW).
- MedClean signed a new lease for its corporate headquarters, which will be moved from Bethel, CT to Bethlehem, PA. This transition is expected to reduce the Company's rent expense by 75% while improving logistics capabilities by locating our warehouse less than two miles from an airport and shipping terminals which is important for the Company's ecommerce business.
- The Company formally launched its GPO (Group Purchasing Organization) line of business. The first transactions, via ecommerce, included selling Covidien Sharps products with the expectations of adding a full line of bag products and corrugated boxes at price points that will make an impact on MedClean's partners and the IMWTA (Independent Medical Waste Transporters Association) member base. Initial sales, based on the first few of what will eventually be many products, totaled slightly more than $10,000 in the first three weeks of the rollout. The first phase of the rollout is expected to be completed by the end of October 2011.
"We are excited that our second localized waste processing center has been established this year and that our vision is starting to make an impact in the market place," stated David Laky, President & CEO. "This milestone also marks the start of the Company converting our backlog to revenue and directly to cash. Our vision is starting to take shape and show up as results in our financial statements as well. We still must build quarter by quarter as we move forward, but the groundwork we have laid has set the stage for the Company to have better visibility into our future."
Mr. Laky commented, "We continued to make strategic process during the quarter, but experienced some downstream delays external of our control which resulted in revenue being shifted from the second quarter into the third quarter. While we are frustrated with these unexpected delays, the agreements demonstrate the increasing demand and MedClean's improving place in the industry. We remain focused on developing and deploying programs to diversify both our risk and our revenue stream, while expanding a third-party distribution network to cost-effectively sell our proprietary systems and components throughout North America."
Mr. Laky continued, "We remain very optimistic about our rental program and we are extremely excited about the potential for our new GPO program. We have partnered with medical supplies industry leader Covidien to sell consumables at attractive price points. Both initiatives, the rental program and the GPO, provide our growing base of distributors with increased value and should materially impact our financial results in the coming year. The establishment of localized processing centers will contribute to both direct sales revenue, recurring per pound revenue in certain circumstances, and purchases through our GPO for the products the processing center and all waste haulers use every day; sharps products, bags, boxes, tape, as well as discounted services through fleet programs we have developed with major tire and battery service centers. Our partners have developed a strong and growing pipeline of leads and we expect positive results from those relationships during the second half of this year."
