ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

     On January 3, 1997, Harbinger Corporation (the "Company") completed the
acquisition of SupplyTech, Inc., a Michigan Corporation, and its affiliate,
SupplyTech International, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company
(collectively, "STI") for 2,400,000 unregistered shares of the Company's common
stock in transactions accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting. On April 28, 1997, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
which included the supplemental consolidated financial statements of the Company
with the independent auditors reports thereon which gave effect to the
restatement of the Company's historical financial statements to reflect the STI
acquisition. In this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company is providing
selected financial data, quarterly financial information, management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and
consolidated financial statements with the independent auditors reports thereon
which remove the reference to supplemental from the previously filed financial
statements because they have become the historical consolidated financial
statements of the Company effective with the filing of the Company's March 31,
1997 Form 10-Q filed on May 13, 1997.
