                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
TradingDynamics, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TradingDynamics, Inc. (a
company in the development stage) as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the
related statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the
years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and for the period from August 27, 1997
(inception) to September 30, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of TradingDynamics, Inc. (a
company in the development stage) as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30,
1999 and 1998 and for the period from August 27, 1997 (inception) to September
30, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                      (A Company in the Development Stage)

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           September 30, 1999 and 1998


(1)    THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       TradingDynamics, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of
       California on August 27, 1997 for the purpose of developing configurable
       business-to-business trading applications for deploying Internet
       exchanges and auctions. The Company expects to operate in one business
       segment. Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of
       its efforts to developing products, raising capital and recruiting
       personnel. The Company has had no product revenue as of September 30,
       1999; its only revenues have been derived from a development contract
       with a single customer in the United States. Accordingly, under Statement
       of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, the Company is classified
       as a company in the development stage.

       The Company's financial statements are prepared and presented on a basis
       assuming it will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 1999,
       the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $5.5 million and
       incurred a net loss of approximately $5.2 million for the year ended
       September 30, 1999. Management's planned expenditures for the year ending
       September 30, 2000 exceed current cash and cash equivalents. The Company
       will need to obtain additional funds to continue its research and
       development activities and to fund operating expenses. In January 2000,
       the Company consummated an agreement with Ariba, Inc. for the sale of all
       the Company's Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in
       exchange for shares of Ariba, Inc. Ariba, Inc. is committed to providing
       the Company with the funding it requires to continue its operations at
       least through December 31, 2000.

       (a)    ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
              make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
              assets and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
              the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
              revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
              could differ from those estimates.

       (b)    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

              The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
              with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
              equivalents. Carrying value approximates fair value due to short
              maturities. As of September 30, 1999 and 1998, cash equivalents
              consist of money market funds.

       (c)    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

              Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
              concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash
              investments. The Company places its cash with high-credit, quality
              financial institutions and has an investment policy that limits
              cash investments to short-term, low-risk investments.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           September 30, 1999 and 1998


       (d)    RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

              The Company is subject to a number of risks including the
              development and marketing of unproven software products, the need
              to maintain adequate financing, competition from competitors with
              greater financial resources and dependence on key personnel. The
              Internet is characterized by rapid technological developments,
              frequent product introductions, evolving industry standards,
              changes in customer requirements and short product life cycles.
              Significant technological changes or the emergence of competitive
              products with new capabilities could adversely affect the
              Company's operating results.

       (e)    CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE

              In accordance with SFAS No. 86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF
              COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD, LEASED OR OTHERWISE MARKETED, all
              costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of
              computer software products are expensed as research and
              development costs. The Company determines technological
              feasibility based on coding and testing in accordance with
              detailed program designs. Costs incurred subsequent to the
              establishment of technological feasibility and prior to the
              general availability of the product to customers will be
              capitalized, if significant. To date, no software development
              costs have been capitalized since the Company is in the
              development stage and technological feasibility has not been
              established.

       (f)    MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND REVENUE RECOGNITION

              Substantially all revenues recorded by the Company from inception
              to date are from a Consulting Services Agreement (the Agreement).
              Under terms of the Agreement, the Company provided the design,
              implementation, training and support for a software product. The
              project was completed during the year ended September 30, 1999.

       (g)    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

              Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
              computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
              lives of the assets, generally three to five years.

       (h)    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

              The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation in
              accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board
              Opinion (APB) No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES,
              and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123,
              ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. Expense associated with
              stock-based compensation is being amortized on an accelerated
              basis over the vesting period of the individual award consistent
              with the method described in Financial Accounting Standards Board
              (FASB) Interpretation No. 28, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK APPRECIATION
              RIGHTS OR OTHER VARIABLE STOCK OPTION OR AWARD PLANS.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           September 30, 1999 and 1998


       (i)    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

              In June 1998 and June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS Nos. 133 and 137,
              respectively, both titled ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
              AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 137 amended the effective date of
              SFAS No. 133 to the first quarter of fiscal years beginning June
              15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
              standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS
              No. 133 requires that all derivatives be recognized at fair value
              in the statements of financial position, and that the
              corresponding gains or losses be reported either in the statement
              of operations or as a component of comprehensive income, depending
              on the type of hedging relationship that exists. Because the
              Company does not hold any derivative instruments and does not
              engage in hedging activities, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not
              expected to have any material impact on the Company's financial
              position, results of operations or cash flows.

              In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee
              (AcSEC) issued SOP 98-1, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER
              SOFTWARE DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNAL USE. SOP 98-1 is
              effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
              after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-1 establishes the accounting for
              costs of software products developed or purchased for internal
              use, including when such costs should be capitalized. The adoption
              of SOP 98-1 is not expected to have any material impact on the
              Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

              In April 1998, the AcSEC issued SOP 98-5, REPORTING ON THE COSTS
              OF START-UP ACTIVITIES. Under SOP 98-5, the cost of start-up
              activities should be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 must be
              adopted for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
              December 15, 1998. The adoption of SOP 98-5 is not expected to
              have any material impact on the Company's financial position,
              results of operations or cash flows.

(3)    BORROWINGS

       As of September 30, 1998, the Company had a $40,000 bank loan outstanding
       that was used to provide operating capital. The bank loan was repaid in
       March 1999.

       During fiscal 1998, the Company issued two notes for cash in the amounts
       of $300,000 and $210,000. Both notes were convertible into shares of
       Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or payable in cash no later than
       January 15, 2000 and August 5, 1999, respectively.

       The $300,000 note bore interest at a rate of 5.51% and the $210,000 note
       bore interest at a rate of 5.48%.

       In accordance with the conversion formulas included in the notes and in
       conjunction with the sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in
       November 1998 (note 4), the $300,000 note was converted into 450,000
       shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the $210,000 note was
       converted into 252,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

(4)    CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

       As of September 30, 1999, the Company was authorized to issue up to
       4,902,000 shares of preferred stock, issuable in series with the rights
       and preferences of each designated series to be determined by the
       Company's Board of Directors.

       In November 1998, the Company issued 4,200,000 shares of Series A
       Convertible Preferred Stock at $1.00 per share. Concurrently, the holders
       of the Company's convertible notes, which totaled $510,000, exercised
       their rights to convert the notes into 702,000 shares of Series A
       Convertible Preferred Stock at an equivalent average price of $0.73 per
       share in accordance with terms of the note agreements (note 3). Rights,
       restrictions and preferences of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
       as follows:

                           September 30, 1999 and 1998


       (a)    CONVERSION

              Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible,
              at the option of the holder, into one share of Common Stock,
              subject to adjustment for certain dilutive issuances, splits or
              combinations. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
              automatically converts into the number of shares of Common Stock
              into which such shares are convertible at the then effective
              conversion ratio upon: (1) approval of not less than 66% of the
              total number of Series A shares then outstanding or (2) the
              closing of a public offering of Common Stock with gross proceeds
              of at least $15,000,000.

       (b)    VOTING

              Each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to
              a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
              into which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
              could be converted.

       (c)    DIVIDENDS

              Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, together with
              holders of Common Stock, are not entitled to any dividends prior
              to January 1, 2001.

       (d)    LIQUIDATION

              In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
              Company, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
              will be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any
              distribution to the holders of the Common Stock, an amount per
              share equal to $1.00, plus an amount equal to all declared but
              unpaid dividends on such shares. Any amounts remaining after such
              distribution will be distributed ratably among the holders of
              Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in
              proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them or
              issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred
              Stock held by them and based on the total number of shares of
              Common Stock outstanding, or issuable upon conversion of the
              outstanding Series A Preferred Stock until the holders of the
              Series A Preferred Stock have received an amount for each share of
              Series A Preferred Stock held by them which, when added to the
              amount of $1.00 mentioned above, equals $2.50 per share.
              Thereafter, all assets and funds of the Company that remain
              legally available for distribution to shareholders by reason of
              their ownership of stock of the Company will be distributed
              ratably among the holders of Common Stock.

(5)    COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS

       The Company's founders were issued 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock in
       1997 and 1998 at $0.001 per share. From inception through September 30,
       1999, a total of 1,759,700 shares of Common Stock were issued under the
       1998 Stock Option Plan (note 6), of which 1,224,493 and 183,333 shares
       were nonvested and subject to repurchase rights in favor of the Company
       as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 6,000 additional shares
       were issued to employees for services in 1999 and 1998.

       In June 1998, in connection with a bank borrowing arrangement, the
       Company issued warrants to purchase 6,667 shares of Series A Convertible
       Preferred Stock at a price of $0.60 per share. The warrants are
       exercisable until June 1, 2003, at which date they expire if not
       exercised. The fair value of the warrants is not significant.

(6)    1998 STOCK OPTION PLAN

       The 1998 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) was adopted by the Board of
       Directors in May 1998 and authorizes the granting of incentive and
       nonstatutory common stock options to employees, directors and
       consultants. Incentive stock options granted are at prices not less than
       the fair value, while nonstatutory options granted are at exercise prices
       no less than 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
       grant date, as determined by the Board of Directors.

       Options generally vest 25% after one year of service and thereafter
       ratably over 36 months of service and have a life of up to ten years. The
       Plan allows for the exercise of unvested options. Shares of Common Stock
       issued to employees upon exercise of unvested options are subject to
       repurchase rights in favor of the Company at the original exercise price.
       The Company's ability to repurchase these shares expires at a rate
       consistent with the vesting schedule of each option.

       The Company initially reserved 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock for
       issuance upon adoption of the Plan and increased the number of authorized
       shares for issuance under the Plan in 1999 by 2,300,000 shares.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           September 30, 1999 and 1998


       ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

       The Company uses the intrinsic value method of accounting for employee
       stock-based compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost is recognized
       for any of its stock options granted to employees when the exercise price
       is equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying Common Stock
       as of the grant date of each stock option. In conjunction with the offer
       to purchase the Company's Common Stock by Ariba, Inc., the Company
       recorded deferred stock-based compensation totaling $15,947,650 for stock
       options granted between March and September 1999 for the difference at
       the grant date between the exercise price and the fair value of the
       Common Stock underlying the options. This amount is being amortized in
       accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28 over the vesting period of the
       individual options which is generally four years. Accordingly,
       compensation expense in the amount of $2,024,062, all of which has been
       recorded as research and development expense, was recorded for the year
       ended September 30, 1999.

       In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to
       apply APB Opinion 25 in accounting for the Plan. Had compensation cost
       for the Plan been determined based on the fair value of options at their
       grant dates, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma net
       loss for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the period from
       inception through September 30, 1999 would not have been significantly
       different than that reported.

       For the purposes of the above noted SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures, the
       fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using
       the minimum value method with the following assumptions used for grants
       from inception to September 30, 1999 and the years ended September 30,
       1999 and 1998: risk-free interest rate of 5.09%; expected dividends of
       0%; expected life of 3.5 years; and expected volatility of 0.0%.

(7)    INCOME TAXES

       The Company incurred no income tax expense for the years ended September
       30, 1999 and 1998.

       The 1999 income tax expense differed from the amount computed by applying
       the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income as a result of
       the following:

</TABLE>


       Based on a number of factors, including the lack of history of profits,
       the fact that the Company competes in a developing market that is
       characterized by rapidly changing technology and the lack of carryback
       capacity to realize these assets, management believes that there is
       sufficient uncertainty regarding the realization of deferred tax assets
       such that a full valuation allowance has been provided. The net valuation
       allowance increased by $1,383,000 during the year ended September 30,
       1999.

       As of September 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $3.5 million of
       federal and California net operating loss carryforwards available to
       offset future income which expire in varying amounts through fiscal 2019
       and 2006, respectively.

       The Company had approximately $95,000 of federal research and development
       credit carryforwards available which expire in varying amounts through
       fiscal 2019. The Company had approximately $73,000 of California research
       and development credit carryforwards available which can be carried
       forward indefinitely.

       Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the California Conformity Act of
       1987, the amount of and benefit from net operating loss carryforwards and
       credits may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which
       cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses and credits that
       the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to,
       a cumulative ownership change of more than 50%, as defined, over a
       three-year period. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of
       net operating losses and credits before utilization.

(8)    COMMITMENTS

       The Company leases its principal facility in Mountain View, California
       under a noncancelable operating lease which expires in February 2000.
       Future minimum lease payments under this operating lease as of September
       30, 1999 are $39,000 for fiscal 2000. Total rent expense was $13,600 and
       $28,100 for the year ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

(9)    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

       On November 15, 1999, the Company signed a definitive agreement to be
       acquired by Ariba, Inc. The transaction has been structured as a
       tax-free, stock-for-stock merger, and will be accounted for as a purchase
       transaction by Ariba, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, 2,074,151
       shares of Common Stock of Ariba, Inc. (subject to adjustment as described
       below) will be exchanged at the closing date for all of the issued and
       outstanding Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and
       Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and Company stock
       options. The number of shares of Common Stock offered by Ariba, Inc. will
       be increased if the net assets of the Company, as defined, exceed $2.2
       million at the date of closing and will be decreased if net assets, as
       defined, are less than $2.2 million. All Company stock options
       outstanding at the closing of the acquisition will be assumed by Ariba,
       Inc. with the same terms and conditions that currently exist, except that
       the shares subject to option will be for Ariba, Inc. Common Stock
       adjusted by an exchange ratio. The transaction was consummated January
       20, 2000.

       On November 15, 1999, Ariba, Inc. entered into a loan agreement with the
       Company to advance the Company up to $2,000,000 at an interest rate of
       8%. All amounts advanced to the Company are due March 31, 2000. As of
       January 2000, the Company has drawn the full $2,000,000.

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Ariba acquired TradingDynamics on January 20, 2000 for a total
purchase price of $458.9 million in a transaction accounted for as a
purchase. Ariba exchanged approximately 7,171,000 shares of Ariba common
stock with a fair value of $366.6 million for all of the outstanding stock of
TradingDynamics. The common stock was valued using Ariba's average stock
price on the date the merger agreement was announced including the prices of
the stock 2 days before and after the announcement. The average value was
$51.13. Ariba also assumed all of the outstanding stock options and warrants
of TradingDynamics with a fair value of approximately $90.9 million. The
options and warrants were valued using a black-scholes option pricing model
with the inputs of .9572 for volatility, 3 years for expected life, 6.53% for
the risk-free interest rate and a market value of $51.13 as described above.
There were also $1.4 million of direct transaction costs related to the
merger.

         The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with APB Opinion No. 16. Under the purchase method
of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Preliminary
estimates based on management's best estimates of the fair values of the
assets and liabilities of TradingDynamics have been combined with the
recorded values of the assets and liabilities of Ariba in the unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated financial information. These allocations are
subject to change pending a final analysis of the value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed.

         On March 2, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one
stock split of the Company's common stock, to be effected in the form of a
stock dividend. The stock split will be effected by distribution to each
stockholder of record as of March 20, 2000 of one share of the Company's
common stock for each share of common stock held. All of the pro forma
condensed consolidated financial information presented herein has been
adjusted to give effect to the stock split.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(1)   To reflect the issuance of 7,171,000 shares of Ariba Common Stock and
      the assumption of all outstanding options and warrants in conjunction
      with the TradingDynamics acquisition, for an aggregate purchase price of
      approximately $458.9 million, including approximately $1.4 million of
      transaction costs.

(2)   To reflect the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets
      and liabilities acquired in connection with the TradingDynamics
      acquisition. The purchase price allocation is based on management's
      estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, intangible assets and
      technology which has not reached technological feasibility and therefore
      has no alternative future use. The book value of tangible assets and
      liabilities acquired are presently believed to approximate fair value.
      The goodwill and other intangible assets will be amortized on a
      straight-line basis over three years. The total purchase price paid for
      the acquisition is summarized as follows (in thousands):

(3)   To reflect the elimination of the stockholders' equity accounts of
      TradingDynamics.

(4)   To reflect the elimination of Ariba's loan to TradingDynamics.

(5)   Ariba will record an immediate write-off of in-process technology at
      the consummation of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed
      consolidated statements of operations do not include the charge for
      in-process technology of approximately $950,000 since it is considered
      a non-recurring charge. The charge will be taken by Ariba in the three
      months ended March 31, 2000.

PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER SHARE

         The unaudited pro forma combined net loss per share is based upon
the weighted average number of vested outstanding shares of common stock of
Ariba during the period presented, plus the number of shares issued to
consummate the acquisition of TradingDynamics as if the acquisition occurred
at the beginning of the period presented.

CONFORMING AND RECLASSIFICATION ADJUSTMENTS

         There were no material adjustments required to conform the
accounting policies of Ariba and TradingDynamics. Certain amounts have been
reclassified to conform to Ariba's financial statement presentation.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On March 8, 2000, Ariba consummated a merger with Tradex
Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of solutions for Net Markets. This
merger will be accounted for as a purchase transaction. An 8-K/A with the
required financial information for this merger will be filed at a later date.
