Item 5.  Other events.

For the month ending April 30, 1998, Harbinger Corporation reports total
revenues of $9 million and net losses of $2.2 million, (including $1.7 million
of integration related charges). Publication of these results ends the risk
sharing period as prescribed under APB No. 16 with respect to the merger with
EDI Works! L.L.C. completed on March 31, 1998, which was accounted for under the
pooling of interests method of accounting. This announcement also eliminates for
Harbinger and EDI Works! 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/EDI Works! merger. Results for the period reported are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the quarter ending June 30,
1998 or the year ending December 31, 1998, either favorably or unfavorably.
