FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 26, 1994 -  Adia Services, Inc. (NASDAQ - "ADIA"),
announced today the suspension of negotiations regarding a proposed merger in
which Adia SA ("ASA"), the principal stockholder of Adia, planned to acquire all
the approximately 19% of Adia common stock which it does not currently own.

ASA announced its merger proposal on March 22, 1994, at which time ASA proposed
to exchange $14.00 in cash and an American Depositary Receipt representing one-
eighth share of its stock (which is traded on Swiss Stock Exchanges) for each
share of Adia common stock.  Negotiations between ASA and a special committee of
Adia's board commenced shortly after the announcement.  However, ASA and the
special committee have not been able to reach agreement on the terms of the
merger.

John Bowmer, the Chief Executive Officer of ASA and Adia, said: "ASA and Adia's
special committee have been negotiating for four months but have been unable to
reach agreement on terms which are satisfactory to both companies.  ASA has
engaged CS First Boston as an additional advisor to assist it in determining
whether there is a basis for further negotiations, and to assist in any further
negotiations.  Discussions between ASA and the special committee have been
suspended until that determination is made."
