REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Home Financial Network, Inc.:


In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Home Financial Network, Inc. (the
"Company") at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, on January 20, 2000 the
Company was acquired by Sybase, Inc. Accordingly, the operations of the Company
after January 20, 2000 will be combined with those of Sybase, Inc.

                           HOME FINANCIAL NETWORK, INC

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BUSINESS

         Home Financial Network, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August
         31, 1995. The Company develops, markets and implements online banking
         technology and services that allow banks and other financial
         institutions to offer banking and other financial services to consumers
         over the Internet. Since inception, the Company's activities have
         consisted primarily of developing proprietary software products,
         establishing the sales and marketing of those products and raising
         equity financing. For the year ended December 31, 1999 five customers
         accounted for 68 percent of revenues. The Company operates in an
         environment of rapid change in technology and is dependent upon the
         continued services of its employees.



2.       ACQUISITION

         On January 20, 2000 the Company was acquired by Sybase, Inc.
         ("Sybase"). No adjustment to reflect the acquisition is included in the
         accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 1999. Accordingly,
         the operations of the Company after January 20, 2000 will be combined
         with Sybase.

         During 1999, the Company subcontracted services to Sybase in the amount
         of $525,107. At December 31, 1999, $201,727 relating to this amount was
         included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.



3.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:


         Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and temporary cash
         investments. Temporary investments consist principally of U.S. Treasury
         Notes with original maturities of less than 90 days. Temporary
         investments are recorded at cost plus accrued interest, which
         approximates fair value.

         SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS:


         The Company considers its short-term investments to be
         "available-for-sale", as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
         Equity Securities". At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the unrealized
         holding gains and losses were not material, and short-term investments
         consist primarily of U.S. Government Obligations with maturities
         between 90 and 180 days.

         For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, gross realized gains
         and losses were not significant. In computing realized gains and
         losses, the Company computes the cost of its investments on a specific
         identification basis. Cost includes the direct costs to acquire the
         securities, adjusted for the amortization of any discount or premium.
         The fair value of short-term investments has been estimated based upon
         quoted market prices.



<PAGE>   8

         REVENUE RECOGNITION:


         The Company's operating revenue is derived principally from software
         licensing fees, including monthly user fees, and consulting services.
         In situations where the Company is engaged to combine its software and
         know-how to develop turnkey Internet banking solutions for financial
         institutions, revenues are recognized as income on a
         percentage-of-completion basis based on time incurred. When delivered
         separately, software licensing fees are recognized as income when a
         non-cancelable license agreement has been executed by the customer, the
         Company has delivered the product, the product is accepted by the
         customer and the collection of the resulting receivable is assured.
         Monthly user fees are recognized as income in the period earned.
         Revenue from consulting services is recognized as income as the
         services are performed. All unearned revenue is recorded as deferred
         revenue.

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:


         Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the
         straight-line method over the following useful lives: computer
         equipment and software, 3 years; office furniture, 7 years; and
         leasehold improvements, initial term of lease or their estimated useful
         life, if shorter. Gains and losses on disposals are recorded as income
         or expense.

         ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:


         Stock issued to employees has been accounted for under the provisions
         of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB
         No. 25"). Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized in
         the accompanying financial statements in connection with the awarding
         of stock option grants to employees provided that, as of the grant
         date, all terms associated with the award are fixed and the fair market
         price of the Company's stock, as of the grant date, is equal to or less
         than the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock as defined;
         however, if the fair market price of the Company's stock as estimated
         by the Board of Directors as of grant date is greater than the amount
         the employee must pay or if the terms of the grant are variable, then
         the Company will recognize compensation expense.

         Stock options or warrants issued to non-employees are fair valued at
         the time of vesting and would be included in the Company's operating
         results.

         Disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
         123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"),
         including pro forma operating results had the Company prepared its
         financial statements in accordance with the fair value based method of
         accounting for stock-based compensation, have been included in Note 6.

         INCOME TAXES:


         The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions
         of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
         Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred
         tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of
         events that have been included in the financial statements or tax
         return. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
         determined based on the difference between the financial statement and
         tax bases of

<PAGE>   9

         assets and liabilities ("temporary differences") and net operating loss
         carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
         the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are
         established when it is questionable whether deferred tax assets will be
         recovered.

         SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS:


         The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the
         Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed" ("SFAS 86").
         SFAS 86 requires that certain software product development costs
         ("Capitalized Costs"), incurred after technological feasibility has
         been established, be capitalized and amortized, commencing upon the
         general release of the software product to the Company's customers,
         over the economic life of the software product. The Company determines
         technological feasibility based upon the successful completion of
         certain product development milestones. Annual amortization of
         capitalized costs will be computed using the greater of: (i) the ratio
         of current gross revenues for the software product over the total of
         current and anticipated future gross revenues for the software product;
         or (ii) the straight-line basis. Software product development costs
         incurred prior to the product reaching technological feasibility are
         expensed as incurred and included in research and development costs.
         Capitalized Costs incurred to date have been immaterial and,
         accordingly, SFAS 86 has not had any significant impact on the
         financial position or results of operations of the Company.

         USE OF ESTIMATES:


         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
         principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
         to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
         assets and liabilities and 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. The most
         significant estimates relate to accounts receivable, accrued income,
         fixed asset lives and contingent liabilities. Actual results could
         differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

4.       PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 consists of the

         As a result of the uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to
         generate sufficient taxable income to utilize deferred tax assets, the
         Company has provided a full valuation allowance.

         As of December 31, 1999, net operating losses available for federal and
         state income tax purposes totaled approximately $23 million, which
         expire at various dates through 2014 for federal income tax purposes
         and through 2004 for state income tax purposes. The research and
         development tax credit expires at various dates through 2014. Future
         ownership changes may limit the Company's ability to utilize net
         operating loss and tax credit carryforwards as defined by tax rules and
         regulations.



6.       STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK:
         The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation
         provides for the issuance of up to 42,015,807 shares of stock. The
         Company has designated 27,000,000 shares as common stock and 5,000,000,
         7,515,807 and 2,500,000 shares as Series A, B and C convertible
         preferred stock, respectively, (collectively referred to herein as
         "preferred stock", individually referred to herein as "Series A",
         "Series B" or "Series C")

         The Series A, B and C stock have a preference over common stockholders
         in liquidation of $1.00, $3.00 and $3.00 per share, respectively. Each
         share of preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock
         at the option of the holder. Conversion is automatic in the event the
         Company completes an initial public offering of its equity securities,
         as defined. The conversion rate is subject to certain anti-dilution
         provisions, as defined. The preferred stockholders vote with common
         stockholders on an as-if converted basis and have certain defined
         voting rights regarding redemption, purchase or other acquisitions of
         any of the Company's capital stock and the creation, authorization,
         designation of capital stock ranking senior to or on parity with the
         respective series of preferred stock.



<PAGE>   11

         STOCK OPTION PLAN:


         The terms of the Company's 1995 Stock Plan, as amended, (the "Plan")
         provide for the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") to grant
         options to officers, directors and employees. The fair market value of
         the Company's common stock on the date of grant is estimated by the
         Board of Directors. Options generally vest on a pro rata basis over a
         four-year period and have a term of seven years. The Plan provides
         that, upon initial election to the Board of Directors, each
         non-employee director receives an option to purchase up to 50,000
         shares of the Company's common stock, and an additional option to
         purchase up to 10,000 shares annually thereafter. At December 31, 1999,
         the Company has reserved a total of 3,500,000 shares of common stock
         for the Plan.

         During 1999, the Company granted options to its employees with an
         exercise price below the fair market value of the Company's common
         stock on the date of grant. In connection therewith, the Company is
         recognizing compensation expense, for the aggregate difference between
         the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of grant and
         the option exercise price ($1,804,000), on a pro rata basis over the
         respective options' vesting period. The unamortized balance at December
         31, 1999 ($1,656,354), has been included as a component of
         stockholders' equity.

         The following table summarizes stock option activity for the years
         ended December 31, 1999 and 1998:

         As of December 31, 1999, 237,000 shares were available for future grant
         under the Plan.

         The following table summarizes the pro forma operating results of the
         Company had compensation costs for the Plan been determined in
         accordance with the fair value based method of accounting for stock
         based compensation as prescribed by SFAS No. 123:


<TABLE>

</TABLE>


         For the purposes of the above pro forma information, the fair value of
         each option granted from the Plan was estimated on the date of grant
         using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following
         weighted-average assumptions were used in computing the fair value of
         option grants during 1999 and 1998: expected volatility of 70%;
         risk-free interest rate range of 4.8% - 6.3% and 5.6% - 5.8%,
         respectively; expected lives of six years and zero dividend yield for
         all periods. Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the weighted
         average fair value of options granted with an exercise price equal to
         the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of
         grant during 1999 and 1998 was $3.32 and $2.01, respectively. Using the
         Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted average fair value of
         options granted with an exercise price below the fair market value of
         the Company's common stock on the date of grant during 1999 was $4.27.



         STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT:


        A warrant to acquire 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
        exercise price of $2.50 per share that was outstanding at December 31,
        1998, was cancelled at December 28, 1999.

         During 1997, in connection with the sale of Series B and C preferred
         stock, the Company issued warrants to acquire 73,133 shares of the
         Company's Series B preferred stock (the "B Warrant"), exercise price of
         $3.00 per share, and 640,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the
         "Common Warrant"), exercise price of $2.60 per share. The B Warrant was
         issued to an underwriter of the Series B and C preferred stock as
         partial consideration for their services. The Common Warrant was issued
         to the Series A preferred stockholder in consideration for certain
         modifications to a stock purchase agreement thereby allowing the
         Company to complete the sale of Series B and C preferred stock. The B
         Warrant and the Common Warrant were exercisable on the date of issuance
         and expire on March 31, 2002. The fair value of the B Warrant and the
         Common Warrant was estimated by the Board of Directors and deemed to be
         part of the cost of raising additional capital.

         On April 1, 1999, the Company issued a warrant to acquire 100,000
         shares of the Company's common stock, with an exercise price of $3.00
         per share, to a strategic partner in consideration for consulting
         services. The warrant was exercisable on the date of issuance and
         accordingly, the Company recorded compensation expense for the fair
         value of the warrant of $200,601. The warrant was still outstanding at
         December 31, 1999 and expires on April 1, 2003.



7.       CONTRACT TERMINATION FEES

         During 1999 and 1998, the Company received $1 million and $2.5 million,
         respectively, in cash as contract termination fees from customers who
         unilaterally cancelled contracts.



8.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company leases office space under operating leases that expire in
         April 2001, May, 2001 and July, 2002. These leases contain certain
         future rent escalations. The difference between rental expense recorded
         on a straight-line basis and rent per the lease agreements has been
         accounted for as deferred rent in the accompanying financial
         statements. Rental expense recorded for the years ended 1999 and 1998
         amounted to approximately $403,228 and $315,925, respectively.
