	   OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 18, 2000--Joseph Cala,
Chairman and CEO of Cala Corporation (OTCBB:CCAA), today announced
that Cala Corporation has divested its 51% interest in B-Tec of Italy.
	   Accordingly, 330,000 shares of company stock, used to secure the
acquisition, will be returned to the Cala Corporate Treasury. Mr. Cala
described the decision to terminate the agreement with B-Tec as an
amicable one driven by two important considerations. "Cala Corporation
must focus on our mission to serve our stockholders by developing into
a global hospitality company. Even though rechargeable battery
technology is an exciting and potentially lucrative field, it is also
a distraction to a Company like ours. We need to concentrate on that
which we do best."
	   The second factor considered in Cala Corporation's decision to
terminate its agreement with B-Tec centered on B-Tec's inability to
adhere to an agreed-upon operational timetable. Earlier this year,
executives from both companies agreed to accelerate implementation of
the agreement. According to Mr. Cala, a financed and fully operational
manufacturing plant needed to be in place quickly. "Considering other
opportunities that have materialized since then, we could not afford
to wait any longer."
