Class Action Suit Filed Against TriTeal Corporation and Its Officers, Directors and Underwriters Alleging Misrepresentations, False Financial Statements and Insider Trading.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 1997--A class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of TriTeal Corporation ("TriTeal") issued pursuant to TriTeal's February 19, 1997 Registration Statement and Prospectus ("Prospectus").

The complaint charges TriTeal and certain of its officers, directors and underwriters with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. TriTeal provides software that allows computers with different operating systems to communicate with each other. The complaint alleges that during September 3, 1996 to October 2, 1997, TriTeal's stock was artificially inflated to a high of $23-1/4 from $8, a 200% increase in less than six months, as TriTeal reported its first profitable quarter in history, which it attributed to strong demand for and sales of its most important products. As a result of the artificial inflation in TriTeal's stock price, TriTeal and its officers were able to sell 1,365,000 shares and 293,881 shares of TriTeal stock to the public for $30.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, at $19.25 per share in a Secondary Offering pursuant to the February 19, 1997 Prospectus. However, after these stock sales were completed, TriTeal reported huge reductions in revenue and enormous losses that far outstripped the small profits it had earlier reported, including massive write-downs of accounts receivable -- false accounts receivable that were generated by TriTeal recording millions in phony software license fees as revenues to create the apparent profits that enabled TriTeal and its insiders to cash in by their large stock sales. The value of TriTeal's stock on the date this complaint is filed is $2-9/16, 87% below the $19.25 price of the Secondary Offering. Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of TriTeal common stock who purchased their stock pursuant to the February 19, 1997 Prospectus. They are represented by several law firms, including Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP, who have expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.
