Press Release: eRoomSystem Technologies, Inc.
January 10, 2002
LAS VEGAS, NV -- eRoomSystem Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ERMS), a leading supplier of in-room technologies for the
lodging industry, yesterday announced the signing of a purchase agreement in the amount of $804,000 with the new
Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California.
This 522-room luxury property is placing the complete line of eRoomSystem hospitality products in each of its guestrooms,
including the fully-automated eRoomServ Refreshment Center, electronic eRoomSafe, eRoomEnergy management system
and the recently introduced eRoomTray, an ambient tray solution which allows hoteliers to vend a variety of products
outside of the refrigerator in an automated setting.
Located in the wine-country less than one hour from Los Angeles and San Diego, Pechanga Resort & Casino will
offer 40,000 square feet of convention and meeting space, a 24,000 square foot grand ballroom, a 125 seat teleconferencing
theater, a 1,300 seat performance theatre, seven restaurants and 75,000 square feet of modern casino space.
``We are very impressed with Pechanga's pervasive vision in the modernization of their new luxury property,'' said
David S. Harkness, eRoomSystem's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. ``The implementation of our expanding product
line that includes our eRoomServ, eRoomSafe, eRoomTray and eRoomEnergy products will undoubtedly provide substantial
cost savings and convenience to their hotel guests.''
``The recent purchase by Pechanga Resort & Casino and the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel together account for
nearly $1.7 million under contract over the last ninety days,'' said Gregory L. Hrncir, Vice President of Business
Affairs. ``This is particularly impressive in light of the sharp downturn in the U.S. travel and lodging industry,
less than favorable economic conditions and widespread budgetary cuts. We attribute the foregoing purchase agreements
to the strength of our product line based upon the profit generation capabilities and labor savings over the competition.''
