                                     (Unaudited)



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Altris Software, Inc. (the
"Company") as of June 30, 1997 and the consolidated statement of operations and
of cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
are unaudited.  The consolidated financial statements and related notes have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to interim periods.  In the opinion of management, the consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.


NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Net income per share is computed on the basis of weighted average shares
and common stock equivalent shares outstanding for each period presented, if
dilutive.

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings per Share," which establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share ("EPS").  SFAS No. 128 will be adopted by the
Company as required for the interim period and fiscal year ending December 31,
1997.  Upon adoption of SFAS No. 128, the Company will present basic EPS as well
as diluted EPS in the period of adoption and restate all prior-period EPS data
presented for comparative purposes.  Basic EPS will be computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding.  Diluted EPS will be computed similar to basic EPS
except that the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
will be increased to include the number of additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. 
The pro forma EPS calculations based upon SFAS No. 128 are indicated below:

NOTE 4 - NOTES PAYABLE

    At June 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding an 11.5% Subordinated
Debenture in principal amount of $3,000,000 (the "Subordinated Debenture").  The
Subordinated Debenture, which was issued to a lender on June 27, 1997 at 100% of
par, provides for quarterly interest payments with a maturity date of June 27,
2002.  The Company may prepay the Subordinated Debenture prior to maturity
without penalty.  In connection with the issuance of the Subordinated Debenture,
the Company granted to the lender warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of its
common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, exercisable at any time on
or before June 27, 2002.  In addition, the Company has agreed to grant to the
lender additional warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of its common stock at an
exercise price of $7.00 per share on June 27, 2000 if the Subordinated Debenture
then remains outstanding and on each anniversary thereafter on which the
Subordinated Debenture remains outstanding (any such additional warrants expire
on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant).

    In October 1996 and September 1995, the Company entered into revolving loan
and security agreements, each providing for borrowings of up to $1,000,000.  The
maximum credit available under one facility declines by $200,000 in September of
each year beginning in 1996.  Each loan balance is payable in monthly
installments of $16,667.  At June 30, 1997, $1,643,000 was outstanding under
these agreements.  Total borrowings under the revolving loan and security
agreements are collateralized by the Company's assets and interest is calculated
based on the 30-day Commercial Paper Rate plus 2.95% (8.57% at June 30, 1997). 
The revolving loan and security agreements contain certain restrictive covenants
including, without limitation, a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a
certain ratio of debt to tangible net worth.

    In September 1996, the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary renewed an
overdraft facility with a bank with interest payable quarterly at 2.5% per annum
over the bank's base rate (9.0% at June 30, 1997).  The facility expires in
August 1997 with any remaining balance due and payable on August 31, 1997.  At
June 30, 1997, $518,000 was outstanding under this facility.  The Company's
property and assets secure repayment of borrowings under the facility, and the
Company has executed a guarantee of up to $500,000 in connection with the
facility.

    At December 31, 1995, the Company had an outstanding payable for cash
advanced by a bank which acted as paying agent for the notes due to former
shareholders of the Company's Optigraphics subsidiary (which notes were issued
in connection with the Company's acquisition of Optigraphics Corporation in
September 1993) having a principal balance of $1,634,000 payable on demand.  The
notes, which had an original maturity of September 1995 and provided for
interest payable quarter at 6% per annum, were paid in full in January 1996.

    At December 31, 1995, the Company had outstanding a note in principal
amount of $1,000,000 convertible at any time into the Company's common stock at
the rate of $8 per share.  The convertible note, which accrued interest at the
rate of 7% per annum and was due on September 27, 1996, was issued in connection
with the Company's acquisition of Trimco Group plc in December 1995.  In
February 1996, the holder converted the note into 125,000 shares of the
Company's common stock.  The Company does not have any remaining obligations
with respect to this note.

NOTE 5 - PREFERRED STOCK

    In June 1997, the Company issued 3,000 shares of its Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") in a private placement that was
exempt from registration under the securities laws.  In consideration for the
issuance and sale of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company received
$3,000,000 in cash proceeds before expenses.  The Series D Preferred Stock bears
a dividend of 11.5% per annum, accruing quarterly, and is convertible into
shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $6 per share of
common stock (subject to reset on June 27, 1999 to a lower conversion price if
the average closing price of the common stock on the 20 trading days immediately
prior to June 27, 1999 is less than $6 per share).  The Company may redeem any
or all of the Series D Preferred Stock at its stated value on or after June 27,
1999 at any time the 20-day average of the closing price of the common stock
equals or exceeds $9.50 per share.  Additionally, the Company may redeem any or
all of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock on or after June 27, 2002 at its
stated value irrespective of the trading price of its common stock.  In
connection with the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company has
agreed to grant to the purchaser of the Series D Preferred Stock warrants to
purchase the following number of shares of its common stock in the event 


                                      7
<PAGE>

that the Series D Preferred Stock has not been redeemed or converted in full 
on or prior to each of the following dates:  (i) 50,000 shares, at an 
exercise price of $7.00 per share, on June 27, 2000; (ii) 50,000 shares, at 
an exercise price of $7.00 per share, on June 27, 2001; (iii) 250,000 shares, 
at an exercise price equal to the trading price per share at the issuance of 
the warrant, on July 17, 2002; and (iv) 250,000 shares, at an exercise price 
equal to the trading price per share at the issuance of the warrant, on June 
27, 2003.  Any such warrants which may be issued will be exercisable until 
the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

    In April 1996, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock in an offshore private placement to a purchaser who
is not a resident of the United States.  In consideration for the issuance and
sale of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company received $2,000,000 in cash
proceeds before expenses.  In June 1996, 37,500 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock were converted into 72,726 shares of common stock.  In July 1996, the
remaining 62,500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock plus accrued dividends were
converted into 163,274 shares of common stock.

    In December 1995, the Company issued 172,500 shares of its Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock for total proceeds of $3,450,000 before expenses. 
In February 1996, the 172,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted
into 406,617 shares of common stock.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

Revenues

    Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 were $7,076,000
and $13,691,000, respectively, as compared to $6,106,000 and $12,167,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase of 16% and 13%,
respectively, in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 is
primarily due to revenues generated by software licenses.

    For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 revenues consisted of
$3,762,000 (53%) and $7,049,000 (51%), respectively, in new system revenues and
$3,314,000 (47%) and $6,642,000 (49%), respectively, related to system
enhancements, expansion and maintenance.  This compares to $4,185,000 (69%) and
$7,521,000 (62%), respectively, in new system revenues and $1,921,000 (31%) and
$4,646,000 (38%), respectively, related to system enhancements, expansion and
maintenance, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in
system enhancements, expansion and maintenance in the second quarter 1997 is
primarily due to a large expansion order from a leading financial institution
and several other significant customers expanding their systems.

    A small number of customers have typically accounted for a large percentage
of the Company's annual revenues.  In the first six months of 1997, one customer
accounted for 10% of total revenues, and in the first six months of 1996, one
customer accounted for 15% of total revenues.  One consequence of this
dependence has been that revenues can fluctuate significantly on a quarterly
basis.  The Company's reliance on relatively few customers could have a material
adverse effect on the results of its operations on a quarterly basis. 
Additionally, a significant portion of the Company's revenues has historically
been derived from the sale of systems to new customers.  

Gross Profit

    Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 62% and 59% for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 65% and 62% for the same
periods a year ago.  The decrease in gross profit margin was due primarily to
increased third party software costs compared to the prior year.  Software
license revenue was $4,532,000 (64%) and $8,552,000 (62%) of total revenues for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $4,187,000 (69%) and
$7,474,000 (64%) of total revenues in the same periods in 1996.  The higher
margin of the software sales was offset partially by lower margin hardware sales
of $514,000 and $1,082,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to $138,000 and $819,000 for the same periods in 1996.  Service
revenues, which include maintenance, training and consulting services, increased
to $2,030,000 and $4,057,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997
from $1,781,000 and $3,874,000 for the same periods in 1996.  Software and
services are sold at a significantly higher margin than third party products
which are resold at a lower gross profit percentage in order for the Company to
remain competitive in the marketplace for such third party products.  Gross
profit percentage can fluctuate quarterly based on the revenue mix of Company
software, services, proprietary hardware and third party software or hardware.

Operating Expenses

    Research and development expense for the three and six months ended June
30, 1997 was $1,030,000 and $1,842,000 as compared to $849,000 and $1,756,000
for the same periods in the prior year.  Research and development expense can
vary year to year based on the amount of engineering service contract work
required for customers versus purely internal development projects.  It may also
vary based on internal development projects in which technological feasibility
and marketability of a product are established.  These costs are capitalized and
then amortized when the product is available for general release to customers. 
Technical expenses on customer-funded projects are included in cost of revenues,
while expenses on internal projects are included in research and development
expense.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 


                                       9
<PAGE>

1997, technical expenses on customer-funded projects were $948,000 and 
$1,652,000, respectively, versus $741,000 and $1,475,000, respectively, for 
the same period last year.

    Marketing and sales expense for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 was $1,936,000 and $3,576,000 as compared to $1,394,000 and $2,647,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase is primarily
attributable to additional marketing and promotional costs incurred in
connection with the initial marketing of the new Altris EB-TM- product suite,
the Company's next generation document management software, and efforts to
increase name recognition for the new "Altris" name.  In addition, the increase
is attributable to additional sales and support personnel hired and costs
associated therewith to support the Company's revenue growth.

    General and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June
30, 1997 decreased to $787,000 and $1,516,000 from $854,000 and $1,565,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease in general and
administrative expense was due primarily to a reduction in administrative
personnel and related employee benefit costs.

    During the second quarter of 1997, the Company wrote-off certain offering
costs, resulting in a one-time charge to operations in the amount of $270,000. 
The costs that were written-off were not directly related to the private
placement that occurred during the second quarter of 1997.  This one-time
charge; however, was partially offset by the income tax benefit of $205,000 that
resulted from the realization of an asset that had been previously written-down.

Interest and Other Income

    Interest and other income was $30,000 and $52,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 which was comparable to $20,000 and $46,000 in the
prior year. 

Interest and Other Expense

    Interest and other expense was $58,000 and $109,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $21,000 and $47,000 in the prior year.
The increase is due primarily to a higher debt balance coupled with a higher
rate of interest paid on the Company's debt in 1997 as compared to 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At June 30, 1997, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled
$6,696,000 as compared to $2,200,000 at December 31, 1996.  At June 30, 1997,
the Company's current ratio was 2.6 to 1.

    For the first six months of 1997, cash provided by financing activities
totaled $5,976,000 while cash used in operating and investing activities totaled
$539,000 and $1,005,000, respectively.  For the first six months of 1996, cash
used in operating and investing activities totaled $3,655,000 and $1,065,000,
respectively, while cash provided by financing activities totaled $895,000.

    On December 27, 1995, the Company acquired Trimco Group plc.  The cash
portion of the consideration paid to Trimco shareholders totaled $5,550,000.  As
part of the transaction, the Company also issued a convertible note due in
September 1996, having a principal balance of $1,000,000 with interest payable
at 7% per annum.  In February 1996, the note was converted into 125,000 shares
of the Company's common stock.  In addition, in connection with the transaction,
the Company assumed an accrued liability of $1,051,000 payable to certain Trimco
employees, which the Company paid in full in January 1996.

    In June 1997, the Company issued 3,000 shares of its Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") in a private placement that was
exempt from registration under the securities laws.  In consideration for the
issuance and sale of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company received
$3,000,000 in cash proceeds before expenses.  The Series D Preferred Stock bears
a dividend of 11.5% per annum, accruing quarterly, and is convertible into
shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $6 per share of
common stock (subject to reset on June 27, 1999 to a lower conversion price if
the average closing price of the common stock on the 20 trading days immediately
prior to June 27, 1999 is less than $6 per share).  The Company may redeem any
or all of the Series D Preferred Stock at its stated value on or after June 27,
1999 at any time the 20-day average of the closing price of the common stock
equals or exceeds 


                                     10
<PAGE>

$9.50 per share.  Additionally, the Company may redeem any or all of the 
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock on or after June 27, 2002 at its stated 
value irrespective of the trading price of its common stock.  In connection 
with the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company has agreed to 
grant to the purchaser of the Series D Preferred Stock warrants to purchase 
the following number of shares of its common stock in the event that the 
Series D Preferred Stock has not been redeemed or converted in full on or 
prior to each of the following dates:  (i) 50,000 shares, at an exercise 
price of $7.00 per share, on June 27, 2000; (ii) 50,000 shares, at an 
exercise price of $7.00 per share, on June 27, 2001; (iii) 250,000 shares, at 
an exercise price equal to the trading price per share at the issuance of the 
warrant, on July 17, 2002; and (iv) 250,000 shares, at an exercise price 
equal to the trading price per share at the issuance of the warrant, on June 
27, 2003.  Any such warrants which may be issued will be exercisable until 
the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

    In addition, the Company had outstanding an 11.5% Subordinated Debenture in
principal amount of $3,000,000 (the "Subordinated Debenture") at June 30, 1997. 
The Subordinated Debenture, which was issued to a lender on June 27, 1997 at
100% of par, provides for quarterly interest payments with a maturity date of
June 27, 2002.  The Company may prepay the Subordinated Debenture prior to
maturity without penalty.  In connection with the issuance of the Subordinated
Debenture, the Company granted to the lender warrants to purchase 300,000 shares
of its common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, exercisable at any
time on or before June 27, 2002.  In addition, the Company has agreed to grant
to the lender additional warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of its common stock
at an exercise price of $7.00 per share on June 27, 2000 if the Subordinated
Debenture then remains outstanding and on each anniversary thereafter on which
the Subordinated Debenture remains outstanding (any such additional warrants
expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant).

    The Company believes that current working capital and funds generated from
operations will be adequate to meet expected needs for working capital and
capital expenditures over at least the next twelve months along with continuing
to expand the Company's market penetration with its next-generation product
suite and to increase name recognition of the Company's new name.

Net Operating Loss Tax Carryforwards

    As of December 31, 1996, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward
("NOL") for federal and state income tax purposes of $31,700,000 and $7,000,000,
respectively.  In addition, the Company generated but has not used research and
investment tax credits for federal income tax purposes of approximately
$500,000.  Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the
Company generally would be entitled to reduce its future Federal income tax
liabilities by carrying unused NOL forward for a period of 15 years to offset
future taxable income earned, and by carrying unused tax credits forward for a
period of 15 years to offset future income taxes.  However, the Company's
ability to utilize any NOL and credit carryforwards in future years may be
restricted in the event the Company undergoes an "ownership change," generally
defined as a more than 50 percentage point change of ownership by one or more
statutorily defined "5-percent stockholders" of a corporation, as a result of
future issuances or transfers of equity securities of the Company within a
three-year testing period.  In the event of an ownership change, the amount of
NOL attributable to the period prior to the ownership change that may be used to
offset taxable income in any year thereafter generally may not exceed the fair
market value of the Company immediately before the ownership change (subject to
certain adjustments) multiplied by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate
announced by the Internal Revenue Service in effect for the date of the
ownership change.  A further limitation would apply to restrict the amount of
credit carryforwards that might be used in any year after the ownership change. 
As a result of these limitations, in the event of an ownership change, the
Company's ability to use its NOL and credit carryforwards in future years may be
delayed and, to the extent the carryforward amounts cannot be fully utilized
under these limitations within the carryforward periods, these carryforwards
will be lost.  Accordingly, the Company may be required to pay more Federal
income taxes or to pay such taxes sooner than if the use of its NOL and credit
carryforwards were not restricted.

    Over the past three years the Company has issued equity securities in
connection with the issuance of convertible preferred stock and warrants to
purchase common stock in June 1997, the Trimco acquisition in December 1995, the
Optigraphics acquisition in September 1993 and through traditional stock option
grants to employees.  Although there was no "ownership change" in 1996, this
activity, combined with the liquidity available to stockholders, increases the
potential for an "ownership change" for income tax purposes.


                                      11
<PAGE>

    In connection with the acquisition of Trimco, the Company acquired deferred
tax assets of  approximately $926,000.  The Company has recorded a $626,000
valuation allowance, offsetting the deferred tax assets.  Any future recognition
of acquired tax benefits will be used first to reduce any remaining goodwill and
other intangible assets related to the acquisition; once those assets are
reduced to zero, the benefit will be included as a reduction of the Company's
income tax provision.

    In connection with the acquisition of Optigraphics, the Company acquired
Optigraphics' NOL of $9,500,000 for federal income tax purposes.  As a result of
the change in ownership of Optigraphics, $8,000,000 of the NOL is limited
whereby the Company may only utilize approximately $500,000 annually to offset
future taxable income of Optigraphics.  The remaining portion of Optigraphics'
NOL does not have any annual limitation.

Inflation

    The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its
operations to date.  Although the Company enters into fixed-price contracts,
management does not believe that inflation will have a material impact on its
operations for the foreseeable future, as the Company takes into account
expected inflation in its contract proposals and is generally able to project
its costs based on forecasted contract requirements.
