Gaming Venture Corp., U.S.A. and Kuhlman
Announce Merger Agreement

April 2005 - Minneapolis, MN - Gaming Venture Corp., U.S.A. (OTC BB :
GVUS) today announced the signing of a merger agreement with SK2, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation and parent company of Kuhlman retail stores
("Kuhlman").    Kuhlman is a specialty retailer and wholesale provider
of exclusively designed, distinctive, high quality apparel.

The agreement is designed as a reverse merger with Kuhlman to be the
surviving corporation and an operating subsidiary of Gaming Venture
Corp., U.S.A.  Under the agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gaming
Venture Corp., U.S.A. will merge with and into Kuhlman.  As a result of
the merger and in exchange for the cancellation of their shares, Kuhlman
shareholders will receive shares of Gaming Venture Corp., U.S.A.   Prior
to the closing of the merger, Gaming Venture Corp., U.S.A. will
effectuate a 1-for-5 reverse split and change the name of the company to
Kuhlman Company, Inc.   The completion of the merger is contingent,
among other things, on the successful completion of an equity financing
by Kuhlman and majority shareholder approval.  The board of directors of
both companies have approved the transaction.

Kuhlman is a specialty retailer and wholesale provider of both men's and
women's apparel, offered under the Kuhlman brand through company-owned
retail stores and under private labels through other large retailers.
Kuhlman opened its first retail store in July 2003 and now operates
thirty (30) retail stores in 16 states, competing in the "better-priced"
market, with most stores located in upscale malls.  The majority of
Kuhlman's stores are for men but the company recently developed a
woman's specialty boutique format, opening two stores in late 2004.  The
strategy of Kuhlman is to develop a nationally recognized brand by
strategically opening its apparel stores in upscale shopping malls,
upscale street locations, high-traffic transportation hubs and open air
lifestyle centers.  Kuhlman also provides product design and contract
manufacturing for department store retailers seeking to augment their
in-house design and sourcing expertise.   Kuhlman has approximately 150
employees and its corporate office is located in Minneapolis, MN.

Commenting on this agreement, Kuhlman Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman, Scott Kuhlman, said, "We are pleased to announce this
agreement and feel that the next step in our growth plan is to become a
publicly traded company.  In the past twelve months Kuhlman has grown
from six (6) retail stores to thirty (30), with many other store
openings currently in various stages of planning, development and
opening.  We have found a very loyal, grass roots following wherever we
have opened our stores as consumers have realized our value proposition
for high quality apparel along with our one-price strategy for our
merchandise, as well as our expertise in translating and adapting
European apparel movements to the American marketplace.   We look
forward to merging our strong shareholder base with the supportive and
high quality shareholder base of Gaming Venture Corp., U.S.A."

Gaming Venture Corp., U.S.A. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Alan
Woinski, added, "As the largest shareholder of Gaming Venture Corp., I
look forward to becoming one of the larger shareholders of Kuhlman
Company, Inc. and participating in their exciting growth story.  Besides
becoming a shareholder, I also am a customer which is one of the things
that attracted me to Kuhlman.  Our goal has always been to build
shareholder value and I, along with the board of directors of Gaming
Venture Corp., feel that this merger will be in the best interests of
our shareholders as their equity interest becomes one of a much larger
and faster growing company.  I look forward to being part of Kuhlman's
growth, both as a shareholder and a customer."
