Share:

LIGHTHOUSE POINT, FL--(Marketwire - August 17, 2009) - Casino Management of America, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: CGMA) announced it has signed a letter of intent to acquire
Crosslands Utilities Services, Inc., a Texas-based company that develops,
markets and services its proprietary, intelligent optical probes and
related products to major electric utilities throughout the United States.
Crossland's proprietary technology is an integral component of the emerging
"Smart Grid" system being developed in the United States and abroad.

The Company has found an opportunity for a revenue producing business with
growth and other potentials. To further the acquisition plans, the Company
signed a letter of intent to acquire the Crosslands. Given the global
economic recession and shift to emerging energy solutions, the Company's
Board of Directors decided that it could enhance its shareholders' value by
seizing an opportunity to shift from the gaming industry focus to the
energy industry. Over the next 90 days, the Company plans to close the
acquisition of Crosslands, seek additional acquisitions within the
utilities services industry and divest its casino management operations or
focus. The closing of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions
customary for similar transactions.

Gene Foland, Casino Management of America's CEO, commented, "We anticipate
the acquisition of Crosslands proceeding smoothly and look forward to an
exciting new direction for the Company." Clyde Parks, Chairman of
Crosslands Utilities Services, Inc., said, "We intend to leverage
Crosslands' technologies and management's industry relationships to pursue
synergistic opportunities."

to collect and optimize the monitoring of their customers' power usage
data.
