                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Harbinger NET Services, LLC:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Harbinger NET Services, LLC
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 1996 and
1995. 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 audits 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 Harbinger NET Services, LLC as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

91.4% of the Company's common stock outstanding at December 31, 1996 (see Note
6). The Company develops, markets, and supports software products to enable
businesses to engage in electronic commerce using the Internet.

         Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

                  Software

                  Revenues derived from software license fees are recognized
         upon shipment.

                  Services

                  Revenues derived from services include hosting fees, Internet
         access fees and consulting and training fees. Hosting revenue consists
         of fees related to the maintenance of client web pages on the Internet.
         Internet access revenue includes both fixed and usage based fees for
         use of the Company's Internet service. Consulting and training fees are
         billed under both time and materials and fixed fee arrangements and are
         recognized as services are performed.

                  Deferred revenues

                  Deferred revenues represent payments received from customers
         or billings invoiced to customers for software and services billed in
         advance.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


         PRODUCT AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

         Product development costs consist principally of compensation and
benefits paid to the Company's employees or employees of Harbinger Corporation.
All product development costs not qualifying for capitalization as software
development costs are expensed as incurred.

         The Company's policy is to expense all software development costs
associated with establishing technological feasibility. Because the Company's
products have reached this stage of development almost concurrently with general
release, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs in the
accompanying financial statements, due to the amounts being insignificant.

         INCOME TAXES

         The Company has elected to incorporate as a Limited Liability Company
in accordance with the laws in the State of Georgia. As a result, the Company is
taxed in a manner similar to a partnership and has not provided for Federal or
state income taxes as the results of operations are passed through to, and the
related income taxes become the individual responsibility of, the Company's
shareholders.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of its
business. The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other
current assets, accounts payable, due to affiliates, net, accrued expenses and
deferred revenues approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of
these assets and liabilities. The Company believes the fair value of its
long-term debt exceeds its carrying value.

         STOCK OPTION PLAN

         Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its stock option
plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of
grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the
exercise price. On January 1, 1996 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No.
123"), which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period
the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively,
SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB
Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income disclosures for employee stock
option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value-based method
defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to
apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosures
under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (see Note 4).

3.  LONG-TERM DEBT

         In connection with a June 1995 financing, the Company issued a $3
million subordinated convertible debenture bearing interest at 6% with principal
and accrued interest due in full in June 2000. This financing was completed
simultaneously with a capital investment made by Harbinger Corporation of $8
million. The Company is party to an Operating Agreement (see Note 4) between
Harbinger Corporation, the holder of the $3 million subordinated convertible
debenture, and the Company's shareholders which provides, among other terms, a
right of first refusal to Harbinger Corporation and the debenture holder with
respect to future securities sales by the Company and restricts the Company from
certain activities including issuing additional debt in excess of $7.5 million.
The terms of the Operating Agreement also provide for the automatic conversion
of the subordinated convertible debenture into the number of shares of the
Company's common stock equivalent to the outstanding principal and accrued
interest on the subordinated convertible debenture divided by the conversion
price, as defined, at the time that the debenture holder receives any and all
regulatory approvals required to hold equity in the Company.

         In January 1997, Harbinger Corporation purchased the $3 million
subordinated convertible debenture (see Note 6).


4.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         COMMON STOCK

         The Company's initial capitalization of $703,000 was provided by
Harbinger Corporation and certain other shareholders in March 1995 through the
issuance of 1,004,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.70 per share.

         In connection with a June 1995 financing, the Company issued 5,714,286
shares of its common stock to Harbinger Corporation at a price equivalent to
$1.40 per share in exchange for $2 million in cash and a $6 million note
receivable bearing interest at 7% due at the earlier of September 1996 or the
completion of an initial public offering, as defined, by Harbinger Corporation.
The note receivable was paid in full in August 1995.

         In September of 1996, the Company issued 101,273 shares of its common
stock pursuant to an employee stock purchase plan at $1.65 per share in exchange
for $167,000 in cash.

                FOR THE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


         In January 1997, Harbinger Corporation purchased all shares and options
held by minority shareholders (see Note 6).

         OPERATING AGREEMENT

         The shareholders of the Company, including the holder of the
subordinated convertible debenture, are parties to an Operating Agreement which
grants certain designated shareholders, presently Harbinger Corporation and the
holder of the subordinated convertible debenture, the right after December 1,
1996 to initiate a buy-sell procedure with respect to shares owned by such
shareholders. The Operating Agreement also provides for the Company to be
controlled by a Board of Managers of seven individuals, two of which are
designated by Harbinger Corporation, two are designated by the holder of the
subordinated convertible debenture, two are jointly designated by these two
parties, and the final member is selected by majority vote of shareholders other
than these two parties. After December 31, 1996, the members of the Board of
Managers are elected by a simple majority vote of all of the Company's
shareholders.

         In January 1997, Harbinger Corporation appointed a majority to the
Board of Managers (see Note 6).

         STOCK OPTIONS

         The Company's Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") provides for the grant of
options to officers, directors, consultants and key employees. The maximum
number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued under the
terms of the Plan shall not exceed 800,000 shares. Options granted under the
terms of the Plan generally vest ratably over two or four years and are granted
with an exercise price no less than the fair market value of the Company's
common stock on the grant date. All options granted expire from seven to ten
years from the date of grant. At December 31, 1996, there were options
outstanding to acquire 564,727 shares of the Company's common stock, of which
options to purchase 26,301 shares were exercisable. There were 235,273 options
available for grant at December 31, 1996.

         The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for the Plan. As a result, the Company has not recognized
compensation cost for its fixed stock option plan. Had compensation cost for the
Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with SFAS
No. 123, the Company's net loss would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
indicated below:

                                                                 -----------        -----------

</TABLE>


         For purposes of the pro forma amounts above, the fair value of each
option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend
yield and expected volatility of 0%; risk-free interest rate of 5.9%; and
expected lives of 2 years.

                     HARBINGER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
               NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION


         On January 1, 1997, because of the expiration of restrictions on the
Company's ability to appoint a majority of the HNS Board of Managers, the
Company exercised its rights as majority shareholder of HNS by appointing a
majority of the members of the HNS Board of Managers. As a result, effective
January 1, 1997, the Company will account for its investment in HNS by
consolidating the statements of financial position and results of operations of
HNS with those of the Company.

         Also on January 1, 1997, the Company entered into a debenture purchase
agreement with the holder of the Debenture whereby the Company acquired the
Debenture in exchange for $1.5 million in cash and 242,288 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $4.2 million. The Company expects to record an
extraordinary loss on debt extinguishment of $2.4 million in the first quarter
of 1997 related to this transaction which represents the amount paid in excess
of the face amount of the Debenture of $3.0 million plus accrued interest of
$280,000.

         Immediately after this transaction, the Company acquired the minority
interest in HNS, consisting of 585,335 shares of HNS common stock and stock
options to acquire 564,727 shares of HNS common stock at exercise prices ranging
from $0.70 per share to $1.65 per share, by exchanging cash of $1.6 million and
stock options to acquire 355,317 shares of the Company's common stock at
exercise prices ranging from $15.22 per share to $16.53 per share which were
valued by the Company at $2.2 million. Including transaction and other costs of
$350,000, the Company paid $4.1 million for the acquisition of the HNS minority
interest which will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
with $2.7 million of the purchase price allocated to in-process product
development and charged to the consolidated statement of operations on January
1, 1997, and $1.4 million allocated to goodwill and purchased technology.

         The Company expects to record a net deferred income tax asset of
approximately $840,000 as a result of these transactions and intends to provide
a valuation allowance against such net deferred income tax asset to reduce it to
zero.

         The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial
information illustrates the estimated effects of the transactions described
above as if they had occurred as of December 31, 1996 with respect to the
unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet and as of January 1,
1996 with respect to the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
operations.

         The historical financial statements are derived from the audited
financial statements of the Company and HNS as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

         The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information
does not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial
position of the Company would actually have been if the transactions had
occurred on such dates or to project the results of operations or financial
position of the Company for any future date or period. The unaudited pro forma
consolidated condensed financial information should be read together with the
historical financial statements and notes of the Company and HNS. The unaudited
pro forma consolidated condensed financial information reflects the following
adjustments:

1)   Reflects the recognition of the minority interest related to the Company's
     change from the equity method to the consolidated method of accounting for
     HNS and the reclassification of an insignificant intangible asset from
     investment in HNS to intangible assets.

2)   Reflects adjustments to record the Company's purchase of the Debenture for
     $1.5 million in cash and the issuance of Harbinger common stock valued at
     $4.2 million to the holder of the Debenture. The adjustment also reflects a
     $2.42 million increase in the Company's accumulated deficit resulting from
     the loss on debt extinguishment relating to the Company's purchase of the
     Debenture and the elimination of the interest expense recorded with respect
     to the Debenture.

3)   Reflects adjustments to record the acquisition of the shares held by the
     minority shareholders for $4.1 million including $1.6 million in cash and
     the issuance of options to acquire the Company's stock valued at $2.2
     million. The purchase price allocation reflects: (i) a $1.4 million
     increase in goodwill and purchased technology; (ii) a $2.7 million increase
     in the Company's accumulated deficit resulting from the valuation of
     in-process product development which will be charged to the consolidated
     statement of operations on January 1, 1997; and (iii) a provision of
     $350,000 for transaction related costs.

4)   Additionally, the Company has made the following consolidating adjustments:
     (i) the elimination of the Company's investment in HNS and the historical
     equity accounts of HNS; and (ii) the elimination of intercompany revenues
     and expenses and their corresponding balance sheet accounts along with the
     elimination of the Company's equity in losses of HNS.

5)   Reflects an increase in amortization expense as a result of the acquisition
     of HNS. Amortization of goodwill arising from the acquisition is provided
     using the straight-line method over ten years. Purchased technology is
     amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated
     economic life of the product or enhancement, which was determined to be
     five years.

6)   Reflects interest expense on the cash payment of $3,057,000 to fund the 
     transactions on January 1, 1996 at the prime rate (8%) for the year.

         The Company anticipates that it will incur integration costs related to
these transactions of $1.5 million to $2.5 million during the first quarter of
1997. These acquisition integration costs have not been reflected in the
accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of operations does not
reflect the $2.4 million loss on extinguishment of the Debenture or the $2.7
million charge for in-process produce development related to the acquisition of
the minority interest of HNS. These charges will be recorded in the first
quarter of 1997.

         All share, per share and shareholders' equity amounts for the Company
have been adjusted to reflect a three-for-two stock split effected in the form
of a 150% stock dividend paid on January 31, 1997.
