(Nasdaq: TAVA) a leading provider of automation and information technology solutions to industry, today announced it has been selected by The Coca-Cola Company to provide year 2000 compliance services in factory automation and process control systems. TAVA has been engaged to apply its Plant Y2K One-TM- products and services to complete an inventory and assessment phase of a pilot project across 10 facilities in 6 countries. Target completion for the pilot project is May 30, 1998. John Jenkins, CEO of TAVA said, "We are obviously pleased to be engaged by The Coca-Cola Company in this program. The company's global reach presents special challenges that we believe we are well qualified to address with our tool based approach." Jenkins added, "Interest in our Y2K products and services continues to increase and build rapidly. At last count, TAVA engaged with more than 60 clients representing over 400 sites in 14 different countries ranging from Eastern and Western Europe to Africa and the Pacific Rim. These sites vary broadly in size and complexity." TAVA (www.tavatech.com) provides factory automation and control systems integration helping clients in the manufacturing process industries integrate their processes, applications, hardware and software into seamless manufacturing enterprises, featuring their Plant Y2K One-TM- CD-ROM which was released on October 15, 1997.

Statements made in this Press Release that are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements represent management's best judgment as to what may occur in the future, but are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those presently anticipated or projected. Such factors include adverse economic conditions, entry of new and stronger competitors, inadequate capital, unexpected costs, failure to integrate operations of recently acquired subsidiaries and failure to capitalize upon access to new clientele. Specific risks and uncertainties which may affect forward-looking statements about the Company's Plant Y2K One-TM- business and prospects include the possibility that a competitor will develop a more comprehensive or less expensive Y2K solution, and delays in market awareness of TAVA and its product and service solutions. These factors and others are discussed in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, to which reference should be made.

Tim, You posted: <<<What's your call on the stock short term? Should this not bring in some major players with this huge Coke news. Will the warrants have a negative effect? I saw some shorts laying out paper in a large way today... I assume they are counting on warrant paper to come in. Otherwise, I think they have a death wish!>>> I had about 3000 TAVAW that I purchased just before the big run up. My plan on conversion was to sell enough shares short to convert the TAVAW, then cover the short with shares on the next dip. When Schwab refused to margin TAVA, they screwed up my plans. So I sold the TAVAW for about a 100% profit and went back to the cash account with the TAVA shares. My point is that this is not really a sophisticated strategy for converting TAVAW to TAVA (if I could figure it out, anyone could), and therefore the conversion call will put some downward pressure on the stock price for the thirty days after the call. You finance the conversion price by shorting the stock. There are people in the Cayman Islands who do this with convertible debentures on Reg S stock all the time. I don't know if I should even mention that here, but I'm assuming that investors here are sophisticated enough to know the difference between convertible debentures and warrants. I remain long on TAVA, target is 20, then will re-assess. Still mad at Schwab for no margin and looking for another broker. Datek policy on short revenue is a big No-Sale here. Zebra

Tim: The more I did into Coke (KO) and their intermingled and interdependent relationships with the bottlers and distributors, the bigger this contract seems to me. Wall St. just doesn't understand yet that Tava's normal way of working is to do a project, then get follow-on business as sole bidder. The Coke/Tava relationship goes back a ways, too. If Wall St. really understood how incumbent it is on KO to force the bottlers and distributors into fast-track remediation, the stock would already be double-digits. How many bottles is 14 billion cases of KO's soft drinks? I think its 336 billion. That's huge.
