     In March 1998, Altris Software, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it 
was conducting a review of its interim financial information and annual 
financial statements for 1996 and the interim information for the first three 
quarters of 1997 with a view to determining whether the revenue previously 
reported for such periods was recognized in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles.  As a result of this review, the Company has 
restated such financial statements.  This Amendment to the Company's 
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q sets forth the restated financial statements of 
the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997.

     Information in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as originally filed was
presented as of the date of such original filing or earlier, as indicated
therein.  Unless otherwise stated, such information has not been updated in
this Amendment.  In particular, "Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as originally filed discussed
the Company's financial condition and results of operations based on the
financial statements in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as originally filed,
without consideration of the restatement reflected herein, and therefore no
reliance should be placed thereon.  Please refer to "Item 7.  Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

                NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Altris Software, Inc. (the
"Company") as of September 30, 1997 and the consolidated statement of
operations and of cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended
September 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.

     The financial statements included herein have been restated from those 
previously published to reflect corrections of misapplications of the 
Company's revenue recognition policies.  The results for the three months and 
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been amended to reflect 
changes in the timing and amount of revenue recognition for those contracts 
where subsequently discovered facts indicate that revenue had initially been 
recognized before:  (a) there was persuasive evidence of an agreement between 
the Company and the customer; (b) the amount of the fee had become fixed; (c) 
there was sufficient evidence of the delivery of the product or services; (d) 
customer cancellation rights had expired; or (e) a reasonable estimate could 
be made of returns from those customers (primarily Value Added Resellers) 
having exchange rights.

     The reconciliation of previously reported results to restated results for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Net income (loss) 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:
