MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein and the Company's Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 1995. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES Total revenues increased 78% from $15.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $28.4 million in the same period in 1996. Revenues for services increased 67% from $11.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $19.5 million in the same period in 1996, reflecting the revenues from the acquisitions completed at the end of the first quarter 1996, an increase in the number of subscribers utilizing the Company's Value Added Network ("VAN"), and increases in the average volume of transmissions by subscribers. Revenues from software maintenance and implementation also increased, reflecting primarily an increase in the number of customers. Revenue from software sales increased 109% from $4.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $8.9 million in the same period in 1996. This increase primarily reflects the effect of $3.2 million in incremental royalties for software products licensed through the System Software Associates, Inc. ("SSA") agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, as well as increases in business to business software sales, offset by decreases in Financial EDI software sales and certain other one-time license fees which occurred in the prior year. Total revenues increased 83% from $6.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $11.2 million in the same period in 1996. Revenues for services increased 65% from $4.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $7.3 million in the same period in 1996, reflecting the revenues from the acquisitions completed at the end of the first quarter 1996, an increase in the number of subscribers utilizing the Company's Value Added Network ("VAN"), and increases in the average volume of transmissions by subscribers. Revenues from software maintenance and implementation also increased, reflecting primarily an increase in the number of customers. Revenue from software sales increased 128% from $1.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $3.9 million in the same period in 1996. This increase primarily reflects the effect of $1.0 million in incremental royalties for software products licensed through the SSA agreement during the three months ended September 30, 1996, as well as increases in revenues from the acquisitions completed at the end of the first quarter 1996 and certain other one-time license fees. FORM 10-Q PAGE 9 OF 18 10 DIRECT COSTS Direct costs for services increased from $3.1 million, or 26% of services revenues, in the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to $5.8 million, or 30% of services revenues, in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in direct costs for services as a percentage of services revenues reflects a higher mix of lower margin consulting revenue, increased direct costs for services related costs associated with the Company's European operations and increased customer service and operations costs to provide a higher level of support to our customers related to the introduction of a new version of the Company's Windows product. Direct costs for software increased from $893,000, or 21% of software revenues, in the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to $1.5 million, or 17% of software revenues, in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in direct costs for software as a percentage of software revenues is primarily due to higher gross margins in our European operations. Direct costs for services increased from $1.2 million, or 27% of services revenues, in the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $2.5 million, or 34% of services revenues, in the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in direct costs for services, as a percentage of services revenues reflects a higher mix of lower margin consulting revenue, increased direct costs for services related costs associated with the Company's European operations and increased customer service and operations costs to provide a higher level of support to our customers related to the introduction of a new version of the Company's Windows product. Direct costs for software increased from $418,000, or 24% of software revenues, in the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $472,000, or 12% of software revenues, in the three months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in direct costs for software as a percentage of software revenues is primarily due to higher gross margins in our European operations. SELLING AND MARKETING Selling and marketing expenses increased 67% from $3.4 million, or 22% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $5.8 million, or 20% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease in marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the effect of increased services revenue and efficiencies associated with other costs to support increased sales activity. Selling and marketing expenses increased 64% from $1.3 million, or 21% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.1 million, or 19% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease in marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the effect of increased services revenue and efficiencies associated with other costs to support increased sales activity. FORM 10-Q PAGE 10 OF 18 11 Management anticipates that selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue will increase in 1997 due to an increased focus on selling the Company's software and services domestically and internationally and the incorporation of Harbinger NET Services products into the Company's product lines. (See Subsequent Event.) GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses increased 57% from $3.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $5.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased from 22% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 20% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease as a percentage of revenues reflects efficiencies associated with expanding the Company's operations and the effect of increases in software and services revenue. General and administrative expenses increased 60% from $1.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased from 22% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to 20% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease as a percentage of revenues reflects efficiencies associated with expanding the Company's operations and the effect of increases in software and services revenue. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization increased 153% from $518,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses increased from 3.2% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 4.6% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase as a percentage of revenues is primarily the result of the amortization of the intangible assets related to the acquisitions completed at the end of the first quarter 1996. Depreciation and amortization increased 180% from $196,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $548,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses increased from 3.2% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to 4.9% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase as a percentage of revenues is primarily the result of the amortization of the intangible assets related to the acquisitions completed at the end of the first quarter 1996. FORM 10-Q PAGE 11 OF 18 12 PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Total expenditures for product development, including capitalized software development costs, increased from $2.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $5.6 million in the same period in 1996. This increase reflects the hiring of additional development personnel, increased product development resources associated with the SSA Agreement and additional product development personnel related costs associated with the acquisitions. The Company capitalized product development costs of $327,000 and $1.8 million, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996, which represented 11% and 31% of total expenditures for product development in these respective periods. As a percentage of total revenues, product development costs decreased from 16% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 14% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in capitalized development costs between the nine months of 1995 and 1996 and the related decrease in software development costs as a percentage of revenue reflects a higher level of capitalized product development costs due to development activities on products which had reached technological feasibility. Amortization of capitalized product development costs is charged to direct costs of software revenues and totaled $544,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Total expenditures for product development, including capitalized software development costs, increased from $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.0 million in the same period in 1996 reflecting the reasons mentioned above. The Company capitalized product development costs of $233,000 and $430,000, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 1995 and the three months ended September 30, 1996, which represented 20% and 21% of total expenditures for product development in these respective periods. As a percentage of total revenues, product development costs were 15% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1996. Amortization of capitalized product development cost is charged to direct cost of software revenues and totaled $298,000 and $342,000, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 1995 and the three months ended September 30, 1996. CHARGE FOR PURCHASED IN-PROCESS PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The Company incurred a $8,350,000 charge for acquired research and development costs during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. In connection with the acquisitions described above, the Company acquired in-process product development for several software products. Since the Company determined that certain of the acquired technologies had not reached technological feasibility, the Company expensed the portion of the purchase price allocable to such in-process product development. (See Note 2.)

FORM 10-Q PAGE 13 OF 18 14 NET INCOME (LOSS) AND EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company realized a net loss of $8,654,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to net income of $522,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The net loss in the period ended September 30, 1996 reflects the effect of the charge for purchased in-process product development of $8,350,000 in connection with the acquisitions described above and the equity in losses of joint ventures of $4,973,000. The Company realized a loss per share of $.81 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to earnings per share of $.06 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The charge for purchased in-process product development described above had approximately an $.78 loss impact on the Company's earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

The Company realized a loss per share of $.02 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to earnings per share of $.02 for the three months ended September 30, 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's working capital decreased $6.4 million from $14.3 million as of December 31, 1995 to $7.9 million as of September 30, 1996. This decrease principally reflects the liabilities assumed and the consideration given related to the acquisitions described above. (See Note 2.) In the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the Company generated cash from operating activities of $1,909,000 as compared to $2,104,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This decrease is due primarily to payment terms under the Company's relationship with SSA discussed below. The Company used net cash in investing activities of $9,597,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $10,500,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Cash used in investing activities for the period ended September 30, 1996 included cash used to acquire the European Operations (see Note 2), purchases of property and equipment and additions to software development. The Company used net cash from financing activities of $437,000 in order to pay off debt of approximately $1.2 million acquired from the acquisitions completed at the end of the first quarter 1996 offset somewhat by proceeds received from the exercise of Harbinger stock options in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to providing $16,066,000 by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 which related primarily to the proceeds received from the issuance of common stock in connection with the Company's initial public offering in August 1995. The Company has announced its intent to acquire the remaining 30% equity of HNS effective January 1, 1997 for approximately $7.2 million consideration, of which approximately $3.0 million is in cash and $4.2 million is in the Company's common stock. (See Subsequent Event.) FORM 10-Q PAGE 14 OF 18 15 The Company is investing in a new telephone system which commits the Company to a capital expenditure of approximately $1.0 million during the next three months. The Company currently has no other material commitments for capital expenditures. The accompanying balance sheet reflects a $4.1 million royalty receivable from SSA relating to certain minimum royalties under a distribution arrangement. It is possible that underlying EDI sales from SSA might not be sufficient to justify the Company's recognition of the entire fourth quarter minimum royalties of $1.7 million. In this case, there is a possibility that the Company could experience a shortfall in reported software revenue. Nevertheless, in October 1996, SSA remitted the entire 1996 minimum royalty payment of $5.8 million. Management expects that the Company will continue to be able to fund its acquisitions, operations, investment needs and capital expenditures through cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand, debt borrowings and additional equity capital. Management believes that outside sources for debt and additional equity capital, if needed, will be available to finance expansion projects and any possible large acquisitions. The form of any financing will vary depending upon prevailing market and other conditions and may include short- or long-term borrowings from financial institutions, or the issuance of additional equity securities. However, there can be no assurances that funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On October 28, 1996, the Company announced its intent to purchase the remaining 30% equity in HNS from BellSouth Telecommunications ("BellSouth") and other minority shareholders for approximately $7.2 million in consideration. The Company will pay BellSouth $1.5 million in cash and approximately $4.2 million in Harbinger common stock and approximately $1.5 million in cash to the other minority shareholders. Management announced that it anticipates a first quarter 1997 charge of between $6.0 million and $7.5 million as a result of the combination related to in-process R&D charges and associated integration costs.
