Adaptive Solutions Announces Revised Business Strategy and Expense Reductions;
Lower Second Quarter Revenues Expected

Beaverton, OR - June 24, 1996 - Adaptive Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ-ADSO) today

announced that it is restructuring the company and adopting a revised business

strategy aimed at improving the company's operating results.

     The new direction will build on the company's expertise in data parallel

processing to offer a higher level and broader range of software solutions

focused on segments of the forms processing market.  In addition to creating

solutions using its own CNAPS technology, the company will support industry

standard data parallel architectures, such as the Intel MMX platform.


     The new business strategy, created by new Adaptive Solutions president and

chief executive John Migliore, also will include a financial strategy aimed at

aggressively cutting costs and growing the company's revenue stream.

     Adaptive Solutions will expand its internal software application

development efforts and partner with other companies to provide more complete

solutions for forms processing customers.  Traditionally, the company has

supplied technology enabling components which customers were required to

engineer into specific solutions.  In its new direction, Adaptive Solutions and

its partners will provide more complete solutions which customers will

integrate into their systems.

                                    (more)

                    ADAPTIVE SOLUTIONS, INC.
                    1400 N.W. Compton Drive, Suite 340  Telephone: 503-690-1236

Adaptive Solutions Strategy/Expense Reductions/Lower Revenues - page 2

     Under its new strategy, Adaptive Solutions will combine its proprietary

CNAPS parallel processing microprocessor capabilities with products based on

Intel's emerging mainstream MMX parallel processing chip.  As a result, the

company can provide customers with a broader range of optimized forms

processing solutions, using the technology which most effectively solves

customers' problems.

     The company expects current revenue for the quarter ending June 30, 1996

to be below the most recent quarters because of lower than expected OEM

shipments and a slowdown in PowerShop sales.  In response, the company plans to

significantly reduce its employment and cost base.  Approximately 30 people

will be laid off.  The company employed 51 people before the planned

reductions.

     "The layoffs are difficult but necessary in light of our current

performance and new direction," said Migliore.  "Our new strategy will build on

our strengths and move us closer to our customers and the solutions they need. 

These changes in strategy give our customers the benefits of a mainstream

processor while retaining the current strengths of our CNAPS technology."

     The company believes these changes can yield improvements in operating

results over the long term.  However, the company expects revenues to continue

to be below recent quarters at least through 1996.

     This press release contains forward-looking statements which involve risks

and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from

those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including, without

limitation, changes in the forms processing solutions markets, successful

implementation of the company's new strategy, continued expansion and

maintenance of partnerships and availability of necessary hardware.
