Item 5. Other events.

For the month ending January 31, 1998, Harbinger Corporation reports total
revenues of $7.7 million and net losses of $800,000. Publication of these
results ends the risk sharing period as prescribed under APB No. 16 with respect
to merger with Premenos Technology Corp. completed on December 19, 1997, which
was accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting. This
announcement also eliminates for Harbinger and Premenos shareholders who were
deemed to be "affiliates" under Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, certain trading restrictions that were required to enable pooling
accounting treatment for the Harbinger/Premenos merger.  Results for the period
reported are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the quarter ending March 31, 1998 or the year ending December 31, 1998, either
favorably or unfavorably.
