Exhibit 99.1

BEVsystems International, Inc. Granted Motion to Convert Case to Chapter 11
Wednesday May 12, 3:43 pm ET

TAMPA, Fla., May 12, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- BEVsystems International, Inc. (the
``Company'') (Other OTC:BEVI.PK - News) announced today that the United States
Bankruptcy Court for Middle District of Florida granted its motion to convert
the Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding.
Chapter 11 covers proceedings in which a company maintains control of the
business while it reorganizes its debts, liabilities and finances.

Under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Company will have the
opportunity to file a Plan of Reorganization that details how it will pay valid
creditor claims, restructure its business, operations and finances, emerge from
Chapter 11 and reestablish its ability to be financially self-sustaining.
However, although we will submit this Plan of Reorganization, there are no
guarantees that the Bankruptcy Court will approve such plan or that we will ever
become financially self-sustaining.

Rand Gray, CEO of the Company, stated, ``This is expected good news for our
company. We can now move forward with our business objectives, restructure our
debt and concentrate on the sales and distribution of our product.''
