                   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED
                        DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 
               TOGETHER WITH REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

June 18, 1998


To The Shareholders and Board of Directors 
Wayfarer Communications, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the 
related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' (deficit)  equity
and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the  financial
position of Wayfarer Communications, Inc. at December 31,  1997 and 1996,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows  for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted  accounting principles.  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  generally accepted auditing standards 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 statement, 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.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming  that the
Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in  Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has not generated  significant cash flow
since inception and management has placed  significant reliance on obtaining
additional financing to sustain  operating activities through 1998.  These
factors raise substantial  doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.   The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might  result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  As discussed in Note 
14, subsequent to year end, the Company entered into a definitive  merger
agreement with The Vantive Corporation.

WAYFARER COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Formation and Business of the Company:

Wayfarer Communications, Inc. (the Company), was incorporated on  October 1,
1993 for the purpose of designing, developing, and  marketing software that
enables individuals and enterprises to  extend the reach of existing networks
and information systems to  their mobile workforces.  During 1996, the
Company began to focus  primarily on designing, developing and marketing
software that  enables individuals to build high performance applications
that  run over private intranets and the Internet.  

2. Acquisition:

In September 1997, the Company acquired certain assets,  liabilities and
operations of Torso, Inc. (Torso) in exchange for  250,000 shares of common
stock.  Torso developed an internet  software tool for publishing web sites
to multiple webcasting  platforms, as well as advanced parsing technologies
to allow  further segmentation of web page content.  The acquisition was 
accounted for as a purchase.  Goodwill associated with the  acquisition is
being amortized over three years. 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming  that the
Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company  has not achieved
profitable operations and has deficits in  working capital and shareholders'
equity as of December 31, 1997.  The ability of the Company to continue in
existence is dependent  on the eventual achievement of sustained profitable
operations  and/or its ability to fund working capital requirements through 
additional financing.  These circumstances raise substantial  doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.   The accompanying
financial statements do not include any  adjustments related to the
recoverability and classification of  assets or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that  might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a  going concern.

On June 18, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to merge  with
another company (Note 14).

Use of 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 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments  which mature
within three months or less of their purchase date  and include investments
in money market accounts.  Substantially  all cash and cash equivalents are
on deposit with two financial  institutions in amounts that exceed federal
insurance limits.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using  the
straight-line method over three to seven years.  The Company  also leases
certain computer hardware under a capital lease.  The  leased assets are
depreciated over their estimated useful lives  of three years or the term of
the lease, whichever is shorter.

Revenue Recognition:

Software license fee revenue is recognized when an agreement has  been
signed, the product has been shipped and the Company has no  additional
significant obligations.  The Company generally  accounts for revenues
received in advance by deferring such  amounts until the related products or
services are delivered or  performed.

Computation of Historical Net Loss Per Share and Pro Forma Net 
Loss Per Share:

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the  weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares  outstanding during the period.
 Common equivalent shares,  comprising the incremental common shares issuable
upon the  exercise of stock options and upon conversion of convertible 
Preferred Stock, have not been included, as such shares are anti- dilutive.


Advertising Costs:

Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expenses as  incurred
and amounted to $101,929 and $15,484, for the years  ended December 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No.  109  "Accounting  for Income Taxes,"
(SFAS No.  109).  Under SFAS No.109, deferred  tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the difference  between the financial statement and tax
bases of assets and  liabilities and the net operating loss and credit
carryforwards  using enacted tax rates.  Valuation allowances are established
 when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts  expected to be
realized.  

Software Development Costs:

Software research and development costs include personnel costs  and
materials consumed primarily in connection with software  development
activities.  All such costs have been charged to  expense as there were no
amounts eligible for capitalization  pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86,  "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
to be Sold, Leased  or Otherwise Marketed".

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets  in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived to be
Disposed Of."   SFAS No. 121  requires recognition of impairment of
long-lived assets in the  event the net book value of such assets exceeds the
future  undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets.  The Company 
assesses the impairment of long-lived assets when events or  changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an  asset may not be
recoverable.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to 
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash 
investments (including money market accounts) and accounts  receivable.  The
Company places its temporary cash investments  with two financial
institutions.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations within the  context of the
industry in which it operates, does not require  collateral and maintains
reserves for potential credit losses on  customer accounts when deemed
necessary.  Eight customers  accounted for 60% of revenues for the year ended
December 31,  1997 and 54% of trade accounts receivable at December 31, 1997.
  Six customers accounted for 76% of revenues for the year ended  December
31, 1996  and 48% of trade accounts receivable at  December 31, 1996.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released  Statement No.
129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital  Structure," Statement No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income,"  and No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of
an Enterprise and  Required Information," which are effective for the year
ending  December 31, 1998.  In addition, the American Institute of  Certified
Public Accountants released Statement of Position (SOP)  No. 97-2, "Software
Revenue Recognition," effective for the year  ended December 31, 1998.  The
Company has not determined the  impact of implementing these pronouncements.


Stock-Based Compensation:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123),  "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," which is effective for  the Company's
financial statements for fiscal years beginning  after December 15, 1995,
allows companies to either account for  stock-based compensation under the
new provisions of SFAS No. 123  or under the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion  No. 25 (APB No. 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees,"  but requires pro forma disclosure in the footnotes to the 
financial statements as if the measurement provisions of SFAS No.  123 has
been adopted.  The Company has elected to account for its  stock based
compensation in accordance with the provisions of APB  No. 25 and present pro
forma disclosures required by SFAS No.  123.

6. Income Taxes:

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately 
$12,701,000 for both federal and state income tax purposes as of  December
31, 1997.  The federal and state net operating loss  carryforwards expire in
the years 2012 and 2002, respectively.

The Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss  carryforwards to
offset future taxable income is subject to  restrictions attributable to
equity transactions that result in  changes in ownership as defined in the
Tax Reform Act of 1986.   These restrictions will limit, on an annual basis,
the Company's  future use of its net operating loss carryforwards.


The estimated tax effect of temporary differences and  carryforwards that
give rise to deferred income tax assets as of  December 31 are as follows:

</TABLE>

Due to uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable  tax
attributes in future years, the Company has placed a full  valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets.  The change  in the valuation
allowance was $3,073,000 and $1,595,700 for the  years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.  As a  result the Company has recognized no
benefit from favorable  income tax attributes in 1997 or 1996.

7. Commitments:

The Company leases its office facilities under an operating lease  agreement.
 Future minimum obligations under the noncancelable  operating lease at
December 31, 1997 total $353,656, all of which  are due in 1998.  Rent
expense under the operating lease totaled  $235,935 and $231,086 during the
years ended December 31, 1997  and 1996, respectively.

9. Shareholders' Equity:

Common Stock:

The Company has the right to repurchase shares issued to  founders or
consultants upon termination of employment or  relationship with the Company
at the original issuance price.   The number of shares subject to the
Company's right of  repurchase declines based upon vesting terms over a four
year  period from the original issue date or immediately upon the  effective
date of a merger or sale of the Company.   Thereafter, the Company has the
right of first refusal, which  expires upon a sale of the Company or upon
consummation of an  underwritten public offering.  At December 31, 1997 and
1996,  14,398 and 617,400 shares of the Company's outstanding common  stock
are subject to repurchase,respectively.

Preferred Stock:

The Company is authorized to issue 8,801,708 shares of  preferred stock, in
one or more series.  As of December 31,  1997, 800,000 400,000, 2,161,308,
1,576,800 and 3,520,000 of  these shares have been designated Series A,
Series C, Series  D, Series E and Series F convertible preferred stock, 
respectively.

Voting- The holders of the Series A, C, D, E, and F preferred  stock are
entitled to one vote for each share of common stock  into which the preferred
stock could then be converted.  Such  holders have full voting rights and
powers equal to those  holders of common stock.


Dividends - The holders of the Series A, C, D, E and F  preferred stock are
entitled to receive dividends at the rate  of $0.02, $0.08, $0.10, $0.25 and
$0.19 per share per annum,  respectively, when and if declared by the Board
of Directors.   These dividends are in preference to any declaration or 
payment of any dividend on the common stock of the Company and  are
noncumulative.

Liquidation - In the event of any liquidation, the holders of  the Series A,
C, D, E, and F preferred stock are entitled to  receive, prior and in
preference to any distribution to the  holders of the common stock, 0.20,
$0.80, $1.30, $3.19 and  $2.38 per share, respectively, plus all declared but
unpaid  dividends.  If the assets and funds distributed among the  holders of
the Series A, C, D, E, and F preferred stock are  insufficient to permit the
payment to the holders of their  respective full preferential amounts, then
the amounts  available will be distributed ratably among the holders of the 
Series A, C, D, E, and F preferred stock in proportion to the  respective
preferential amount each such holder is entitled to  receive.  

Conversion - Each share of the Series A, C, D, E, and F  preferred stock is
convertible at the holder's option, into  one share of the Company's common
stock.  The Series A, C, D,  E, and F preferred stock will be automatically
converted into  common stock based on the then applicable conversion rate in 
the event of a public offering equal to or exceeding gross  proceeds of
$15,000,000 and at a price not less than $10.00  per share of common stock.  


10. Warrants:

In 1995 and 1996, the Company issued warrants to purchase  preferred stock to
an equipment lease provider and in  connection with a bridge loan.  The fair
value of warrants  issued with the financing and purchase transactions does
not  have a material effect on the financial statements.  At  December 31,
1997, such warrants outstanding were as follows:

11. Stock Options:

In January 1995, the Board of Directors approved an Employee  Nonqualified
Stock Option Plan (the Plan) which allows the  Board of Directors to grant
options to employees to purchase  up to 1,732,000 shares of the Company's
common stock.  In  January 1997, the Board of Directors approved a 1997 Stock
 Option Plan which allows the Board of Directors to grant  options to
employees to purchase up to 700,000 shares of the  Company's common stock. 
The exercise price for options  granted under the Plans may not be less than
85% of the fair  value of common stock on date of grant as determined by the 
Board of Directors.  The options granted under the Plans  become exercisable
in such a manner and within such period or  periods as determined by the
Board of Directors and generally  vest over 48 months.  The options expire no
later than ten  years after the date of grant.   

The following summarizes the activity of the Plans for the years ended

        WAYFARER COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

        PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        (UNAUDITED)

In June 1998, The Vantive Corporation (the "Company" or "Vantive") acquired
Wayfarer  Communications, Inc. ("Wayfarer"), a privately held California
corporation that specializes in  web-based information delivery by merging a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into  Wayfarer (the "Acquisition"). 
The acquisition of Wayfarer has been accounted for as a  purchase.


The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of
operations for the  fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 and six months ended
June 30, 1998 assumes that the  acquisition took place as of the beginning of
each period, and combines the Company's and  Wayfarer's statements of
operations for each company's respective period.  The required pro  forma
balance sheet with respect to the acquired business is incorporated by
reference to  Vantive's quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A as of June 30, 1998
filed with the Commission on  August 19, 1998. 

The purchase price allocation reflected in the accompanying pro forma
combined condensed  financial statements has been prepared on an estimated
basis. The effects resulting from any  differences in the final allocation of
the purchase price are not expected to have a material  effect on the
Company's financial statements.

The method of combining historical financial statements for the preparation
of the pro  forma combined condensed financial statements is for presentation
only. Actual statements of  income of the companies will be combined
commencing on the date of acquisition.


The accompanying pro forma combined condensed financial statements should be
read in  conjunction with the historical financial statements and related
notes thereto for both the  Company and Wayfarer.

        NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      
        (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

Certain pro forma adjustments have been made to the accompanying pro
forma combined condensed  financial statements as described below:


(a) Eliminates the in-process research and development expense for
approximately $8.2 million  associated with the acquisition of 89% of the
common stock of Wayfarer as of June 30, 1998. 

(b) Eliminates the compensatory expense of $1.2 million directly
associated with the  acquisition of Wayfarer as of June 30, 1998. 


(c) Reflects amortization for twelve months of the excess of cost of
investment over the fair  value of net assets acquired of
approximately $980,000, which will be amortized on a  straight line
basis over five years. 

(d) Reflects amortization for six months of the excess of cost of
investment over the fair  value of net assets acquired of
approximately $980,000, which will be amortized on a  straight line
basis over five years.

(e) Reflects the income tax benefit to the consolidated entity due to
net operating losses  incurred by Wayfarer (based on the effective
tax rates of 37% for the year ended December  31, 1997 and June 30,
1998) and the fact that goodwill amortization amounts are non-
deductible in this transaction.

(f) Reflects common stock equivalents added back under the treasury
stock method due to Vantive's income position after adjusting for pro
forma adjustments.  

(g) Reflects the impact of common stock issued in the acquisition as
if outstanding from the  beginning of each period.  


NOTE 2. PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 163,969 shares
of its common stock  and assumed all outstanding warrants in exchange
for 2,251 shares of the Company's common stock  in exchange for
approximately 89% of Wayfarer shares.  In addition, the Company
received  $101,000 in cash as part of the acquisition.  The Company
anticipates that it will record  charges associated with acquiring
the remaining minority interest of approximately 11% upon the 
completion of the acquisition of the remaining shares in the quarter
ending September 30, 1998.   The fair value of the acquired assets
and liabilities were included in the Company's financial  statements
beginning on the acquisition date.  The Company also accrued
acquisition-related  costs of approximately $1,245,000.
