                ALTRIS SOFTWARE MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT
                                          
SAN DIEGO, CA, March 11, 1998 -- Altris Software, Inc. (Nasdaq/NMS:ALTS) 
announced today that it is conducting a review of its financial statements 
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 
30,1997 with a view to determining whether all of the revenue previously 
reported for those periods was recognized in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles.  The Company's review is focused primarily on 
the recognition of revenues from contracts with value added resellers and 
certain other customers, including the timing of such recognition.  Although 
a definitive determination of the effect of this review on the Company's past 
results of operations is not yet possible, it is likely that a significant 
downward restatement of previously reported revenues and results of 
operations in 1996 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 will 
result.  The Company's independent public accounting firm, Price Waterhouse 
LLP, is assisting the Company in its review and has advised the Company that 
its audit report on the Company's financial statements at and for the year 
ended December 31, 1996 is being withdrawn and should no longer be relied 
upon.  The Company currently expects to complete its review within the next 
several days.

Based in San Diego, California, Altris Software delivers enterprise-wide
