COMMENTS THAT SECURITIES LAW SUIT WITHOUT MERIT
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania--Neoware Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: NWRE)
reported today that a complaint was filed in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York on March 11, 1998. The Complaint asserts
claims against the Company, its Chairman and its former CFO, who are named as
defendants in the suit, under the federal securities laws and for common law
fraud, arising from alleged misrepresentations by the Company and the two
individuals. The suit was filed as a class action on behalf of purchasers of the
Company's common stock during the period from June 15, 1996 through August 15,
1997.
The Company's President and CEO, Edward C. Callahan, Jr. stated "We believe
that the allegations in the complaint are completely without merit and we intend
to defend this action vigorously."
