Note 6 - Formation of Joint Venture
On August 9, 2000, the Company announced that it had completed its transaction
with BNP Paribas ("BNP") to form a joint venture company that owns PHH Europe
and, within one year, will merge with BNP's vehicle management subsidiary, Arval
Service Lease S.A. ("Arval"). As part of the transaction, BNP acquired an 80%
interest in the joint venture, with the Company retaining a 20% interest. The
Company received $800 million in cash and had its intercompany indebtedness with
PHH Europe repaid. PHH Europe, with operations in the United Kingdom and
Germany, is engaged in the business of leasing vehicles and providing fee based
services, including fuel and maintenance cards, accident management and other
vehicle services to its customers. Accordingly, the Company's 20% investment in
the joint venture is reported as Investment in PHH/Arval Joint Venture in the
accompanying statement of financial position at September 30, 2000 and earnings
of the joint venture are included in the statement of operations on the equity
method. The difference between the carrying value of the net assets of PHH
Europe and the proceeds from the sale have been accounted for as a reduction of
cost in excess of net assets acquired relating to the VMS Acquisition.
The revenue and net income of PHH Europe included in the statement of operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are (in thousands):

The revenue and net income of PHH Europe for the periods presented above
includes the results of operations of PHH Europe from the date of acquisition
(June 30, 1999) through July 31, 2000 (formation of Joint Venture).
PHH/Arval is an unlimited liability company organized under the laws of the
United Kingdom. A subsidiary of the Company which owns 20% of PHH/Arval, is
liable under the laws of the United Kingdom for all the obligations of PHH/Arval
upon its liquidation which remain after the assets of PHH/Arval are sold.
PHH/Arval incurred a loan of approximately $800 million to complete the BNP
Paribas transaction. The Company's subsidiary is liable for the loan to the
extent PHH/Arval does not have sufficient assets to repay the loan upon its
liquidation. A newly formed subsidiary of the Company has guaranteed its
subsidiary's liability under the loan.

Note 10 - Segment Information
Prior to the purchase of VMS on June 30, 1999 (Note 5), the Company operated in
one industry segment; the rental car business. As of July 1, 1999, the Company
began operating in two business segments as follows:
Vehicle Rental The Company rents vehicles to business
and leisure customers
Vehicle Leasing and
other fee based services The Company leases vehicles to customers
under closed-end and open-end leases. Fee
based services include fuel and
maintenance cards, accident management
and various other vehicle services
which enable customers to effectively
manage costs and enhance productivity.
Prior to the purchase of VMS on June 30, 1999, the Company operated in four
geographic areas: the United States, Australia/New Zealand, Canada and Other
Foreign Operations principally in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and
Argentina. As a result of the VMS acquisition, and the subsequent sale of 80% of
PHH Europe on August 9, 2000 (Note 6) the Company added an additional geographic
area; the United Kingdom (see Note 5). Revenue generated from each of the
Company's business segments is recorded in the country in which vehicle rental,
vehicle leasing and other fee based services are provided.
The accounting policies of each geographic area are the same as those described
in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1 of the notes to
the audited annual 1999 consolidated financial statements).
EBITDA represents net income, plus non-vehicle interest expense (acquisition
interest), non-vehicle depreciation and amortization, amortization of cost in
excess of net assets acquired and income taxes. Corporate represents primarily
acquisition interest, amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired and
amortization of deferred financing fees.
The operations within major business segments and major geographic areas for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are summarized as
follows:

Note 11 - Retirement Benefits
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company curtailed its defined benefit plans to
its eligible salaried and hourly employees as of June 30, 1985. The Company
recognized a non-recurring $7.5 million pre-tax gain as a result of the
curtailment which was recorded in January 1999 and is included in Direct
Operating Expenses on the accompanying Statement of Operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.
Note 12 - Cendant Purchase Offer
Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") and Avis Group Holdings, Inc., on November 13,
2000 announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for Cendant to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of Avis Group that are not currently owned
by Cendant at a price of $33.00 per share in cash. Approximately 25.6 million
outstanding shares of Avis Group Class A Common Stock, and options to purchase
an additional approximately 7.9 million Avis Group shares, are not owned by
Cendant. Accordingly, the transaction has an equity value of approximately, $935
million, net of option proceeds.
The shares will be acquired at a price of $33.00 per share in a cash merger
pursuant to which Avis Group will be merged with an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Cendant. Upon completion of the transaction, Avis Group will
become a subsidiary of Cendant. The merger is conditioned upon, among other
things, approval of a majority of the votes cast by Avis Group stockholders who
are unaffilitated with Cendant and customary regulatory approvals. The
transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2001.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
ITEM 2:
General Overview
The following discussion and analysis of results of operations includes the
vehicle rental operations and the vehicle leasing and other fee based services
operations ("Vehicle Management Services or VMS") of the Company.
The Company conducts vehicle rental operations through wholly-owned subsidiaries
in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Argentina,
Australia and New Zealand. Vehicle rental revenue is derived principally from
time and mileage charges for vehicle rentals and, to a lesser extent, the sale
of loss damage waivers, liability insurance and other products and services. VMS
conducts operations principally in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom
and Germany. VMS' business includes providing vehicles on lease and other
vehicle related services, such as vehicle acquisition, title and registration,
vehicle remarketing and fleet management consultation. VMS' principal feebased
products are fuel, vehicle maintenance and accident management services.
On August 9, 2000, the Company closed its transaction with BNP Paribas creating
a joint venture that owns PHH Europe. BNP Paribas acquired an 80 percent
interest in the joint venture for $800 million in cash and repayment of PHH
Europe's intercompany indebtedness to Avis. The Company repaid over $1 billion
of debt with the proceeds from the transaction and retained a 20% interest in
the joint venture. Subsequent to the transaction, the operating results of PHH
Europe are accounted for on the equity method.
Management believes that a more meaningful comparison is made when the
historical results of operations for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 2000 are compared to the pro-forma results of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, which give effect to the VMS acquisition
(see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained
herein), as if it had occurred on January 1, 1999. As a result of the BNP
Paribas transaction, (Note 6) management also believes that a more meaningful
comparison is made when presenting the results of operations for PHH Europe on
one line called "Earnings of PHH Europe" for all periods presented. Therefore
all revenue, costs and expenses, EBITDA, amortization of cost in excess of net
assets acquired and non-vehicle depreciation and amortization for the Vehicle
Leasing and other Fee Based Services segment excludes PHH Europe's results of
operations for all periods presented.
EBITDA is presented since it is a widely accepted indicator of funds available
to service debt, although it is not a measure of liquidity or of financial
performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company
believes that EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be
considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or cash flows as
determined under GAAP.
Revenue
Vehicle Rental Revenue:
Revenue is recognized over the period the vehicle is rented.
Vehicle Leasing Revenue:
The Company primarily leases vehicles under three standard
arrangements: open-end operating leases, closed-end operating leases or open-end
finance leases (direct financing leases). These leases are accounted for in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13,
"Accounting for leases". Each lease is either classified as an operating lease
or direct financing lease and are included in Vehicles, net-leasing and Finance
Lease Receivables, respectively, on the accompanying Statement of Financial
Position. Lease generally terms range from 12 months to 50 months. Amounts
charged to theleases for interest on the unrecovered investment are credited
to income on a level yield method, which approximates the contractual terms.
Other Fee Based Revenue:
Revenue from fleet management services other than leasing are
recognized over the period in which services are provided and the related
expenses are incurred.
Costs and Expenses
Vehicle rental expenses include:
o Direct operating expenses (primarily field operations' wages
and related benefits, concessions and commissions paid to
airport authorities, vehicle insurance premiums and other costs
relating to the operation of rental locations and the rental
fleet)
o Depreciation and lease charges relating to the rental fleet
(including net gains or losses upon disposition of vehicles).
o Selling, general and administrative expenses (including
payments to Cendant under the Master License Agreement,
reservation costs, advertising and marketing costs, and
commissions paid to airlines and travel agencies).
<PAGE>
AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
(Unaudited)
o Interest expense (primarily relating to the financing of the
rental fleet). VMS' vehicle leasing and other fee based
services expenses include:
o Depreciation and lease charges relating to the fleet
(including net gains or losses upon disposition of
vehicles) o Selling, general and administrative expenses
(including wages and related benefits, information processing
and information services costs).
o Interest expense (relating primarily to VMS' leased fleet).
Net income
Vehicle rental profitability is primarily a function of the number of rental
transactions, pricing of rental transactions and utilization of the rental
fleet.
VMS' profitability is primarily a function of the number of fee-based
transactions, leased vehicle volume and pricing.
Corporate
Expenses associated with the VMS acquisition, which are primarily interest
expense, amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired and amortization
of deferred financing costs are shown separately in a column entitled
"Corporate".
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management
believes to be relevant to understanding the Company's financial position and
results of operations:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
(Unaudited)
VEHICLE RENTAL
Revenue
Revenue increased 3.9%, from $1,913.9 million to $1,989.2 million, compared to
the same period in 1999. The increase reflects an increase in the overall market
demand (2.8%) and the impact of two acquisitions completed in 1999: Rent-A-Car
Company, Inc. on March 19, 1999 and Motorent, Inc. on June 30, 1999 (1.1 %
combined). The revenue increase reflects a 3.5% increase in the number of rental
transactions and a 0.4% increase in revenue per rental transaction.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses (including amortization of cost in excess of net assets
acquired and non-vehicle depreciation and amortization) increased 1.8%, from
$1,767.8 million to $1,799.0 million, compared to the same period in 1999.
Direct operating expenses decreased 1.3%, from $724.8 million to $715.6 million,
compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenue, direct
operating expenses declined to 36.0%, from 37.9% for the corresponding period in
1999. The reduction was due primarily to lower maintenance and damage costs
(0.3% of revenue), lower airport commissions (1.7% of revenue), lower vehicle
insurance costs (0.2% of revenue), and other operating cost savings (0.8%),
partially offset by higher compensation costs (0.6 % of revenue). 1999 results
included a one-time $7.5 million gain (0.4% of revenue), resulting from the
curtailment of the Company's Defined Benefit Plans.
Vehicle depreciation and lease charges increased 1.1%, from $505.3 million to
$510.7 million, compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenue,
vehicle depreciation and lease charges were 25.7% of revenue, as compared to
26.4% of revenue for the corresponding period in 1999. The change reflected a
2.9% increase in the average rental fleet combined with a lower cost per
vehicle.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2.1%, from $350.7 million
to $357.9 million, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase was due to
higher royalty fees ($5.0 million), and higher travel agency commissions
expenses ($4.4 million), partially offset by lower general and administrative
expenses ($2.2 million).
Fleet related interest expense increased 15.9%, from $158.0 million to $183.1
million, compared to the same period in 1999, due to higher borrowings required
to finance the growth of the rental fleet and higher average interest rates.
Non-vehicle depreciation and amortization increased 15.5%, from $19.3 million to
$22.3 million, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase reflects an
increase in the amortization of airport related leaseheld improvements and
equipment.
Income before provision for income taxes increased 30.2%, from $146.1 million to
$190.2 million, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase reflects
higher revenue and lower costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue.
VEHICLE LEASING AND OTHER FEE-BASED SERVICES
Revenue
VMS' revenue increased 5.8%, from $1,031.7 million to $1,091.7 million, compared
to the same period in 1999. The increase consists of a 3.5% or $33.0 million
increase in vehicle leasing revenue and a 31.5% or $27.0 million increase in
other fee based revenue, compared to the same period in 1999.
The increase in vehicle leasing revenue reflects an increase in interest charges
billed to customers due to higher interest rates.
The increase in other fee-based revenue reflects solid growth in the three major
fee-based product lines: fuel, maintenance and accident management. Fuel revenue
increased 42.6% reflecting an increase in outstanding fuel cards and higher fuel
prices. Accident Management continued its strong growth with a 15.6% increase in
revenue.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
(Unaudited)
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses (excluding the results of PHH Europe, but including
amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired and non-vehicle
depreciation and amortization) increased 4.4%, from $970.1 million to $1,012.3
million, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase was primarily due to
$34.5 million of higher interest expense, resulting from higher interest rates,
of which a substantial portion was billed back to customers.
Selling, general and administrative increased 7.9%, from $118.0 million to
$127.4 million, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase is due to
higher payroll and related costs to support the increased fee-based revenue.
Earnings of PHH Europe have decreased due to the completion of the transaction
with BNP Paribas on August 9, 2000 creating a joint venture that owns PHH
Europe. BNP Paribas acquired an 80 percent interest in the joint venture for
$800 million in cash and repayment of intercompany indebtedness to Avis (the
"BNP Transaction"). Subsequent to the BNP Transaction the Company accounts for
its remaining 20% investment on the equity method.
Income before provision for income taxes including the results of PHH Europe
increased 8.1%, from $101.6 million to $109.8 million, compared to the same
period in 1999. The increase reflects higher revenue and lower costs and
expenses as a percentage of revenue.
CORPORATE
Corporate expenses primarily include interest expense and amortization of
deferred financing costs related to the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes and
Term loans which provided financing for the VMS acquisition (see Acquisition
Financing contained in Note 8 of the notes to the condensed consolidated
financial statements).
Corporate expenses decreased 11.6%, from $126.1 million to $111.5 million,
compared to the same period in 1999, mainly due to $11.4 million decrease in
interest expense resulting from the repayment of $1.0 billion in Acquisition
Term loans with the proceeds from the BNP Transaction.
TOTAL AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company's consolidated provision for income increased 40.5%, from $59.2
million to $83.2 million, compared to the same period in 1999. The effective
income tax rate for the period ended September 30, 2000 was 44.1%, down from
48.7% for the corresponding period in 1999. The decrease in the effective income
tax rate was due primarily to an increase in income before provision for income
taxes in relation to non-deductible goodwill an a reduction in non-deductible
goodwill due to the completion of the BNP Paribas transaction. The effective tax
rate reflects differences between foreign income tax rates and the U.S. federal
statutory income tax rate, taxes on the repatriation of foreign earnings, and
foreign withholding taxes on dividends paid to the Company.
Net Income
Consolidated net income increased 68.9%, from $62.4 million to $105.4 million,
compared to the same period in 1999. The increase reflects higher revenue,
decreased costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue and a lower effective
income tax rate.

VEHICLE RENTAL
Revenue
Revenue increased 3.4%, from $709.6 million to $733.7 million, compared to the
same period in 1999. The revenue increase primarily reflects a 3.4 % increase in
the number of rental transactions.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses (including amortization of cost in excess of net assets
acquired and non-vehicle depreciation and amortization) increased 2.6%, from
$637.8 million to $654.2 million, compared to the same period in 1999. Direct
operating expenses decreased 1.3%, from $263.1 million to $259.6 million,
compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenue, direct
operating expenses declined to 35.4%, from 37.1% for the corresponding period in
1999. The reduction was due primarily from lower maintenance and damage costs
(0.2% of revenue), lower airport commissions (1.5% of revenue), lower vehicle
insurance costs (0.3% of revenue), and other operating cost savings (0.5% of
revenue), partially offset by higher compensation costs (0.6% of revenue), and
higher computer services costs (0.3% of revenue).

(Unaudited)
Vehicle depreciation and lease charges increased 2.4%, from $186.9 million to
$191.3 million, compared to the same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenue,
vehicle depreciation and lease charges were 26.1% of revenue, as compared to
26.3% of revenue for the corresponding period in 1999. The change reflected a
5.1% increase in the average rental fleet combined with a lower cost per
vehicle.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2.3%, from $119.5 million
to $122.3 million, compared to the same period in 1999. The decrease was due to
higher general and administrative expenses ($1.3 million), higher royalty fees
($1.7 million), higher travel agency commissions ($1.4 million), and was
partially offset by lower marketing costs ($1.7 million).
Fleet related interest expense increased 21.4%, from $58.1 million to $70.5
million, compared to the same period in 1999, due to higher borrowings required
to finance the growth of the rental fleet and higher average interest rates.
Income before provision for income taxes increased 10.8%, from $71.7 million to
$79.5 million, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase reflects higher
revenue and lower costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue.
VEHICLE LEASING AND OTHER FEE-BASED SERVICES
Revenue
VMS' revenues increased 8.1%, from $345.6 million to $373.6 million, compared to
the same period in 1999. The increase consists of a $19.4 million increase in
vehicle leasing revenue and a 27.7% or $8.5 million increase in other fee-based
revenue.
The increase in vehicle leasing revenue reflects an increase in interest charges
due to higher interest rates and increased depreciation charges on the lease
portfolio, both of which are billed back to customers.
The increase in other fee-based revenue reflects growth in the three major
fee-based product lines: fuel, maintenance and accident management. Fuel revenue
increased 39.6%, reflecting an increase in outstanding fuel cards and higher
fuel prices. Accident Management continued its strong growth as total revenue
increased 9.7%.
Cost and Expenses
Total costs and expenses (excluding the results of PHH Europe, but including
amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired and non-vehicle
depreciation and amortization) increased 8.1%, from $320.2 million to $346.0
million, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase was mainly due to
$11.9 million of higher interest expense and 7.3% higher depreciation charges
resulting from higher interest rates, which are primarily billed back to
customers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 14.8%, from $37.7 million
to $43.3 million, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase is due
primarily to higher payroll and related costs to support the increased fee-based
revenue.
Income before provision for income taxes decreased 26.5%, from $42.5 million to
$31.2 million, compared to the same period in 1999. Excluding the earning of PHH
Europe, income before the provision for income taxes increased 4.4%.
CORPORATE
Corporate expenses primarily include interest expense and amortization of
deferred financing costs related to the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes and
Term loans which provided financing for the VMS acquisition (see Note 8 of the
notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
Corporate expenses decreased 39.3%, from $42.5 million to $25.8 million,
compared to the same period in 1999, mainly due to $14.5 million decrease in
interest expense resulting from the repayment of $1.0 billion in Acquisition
Term loans with the proceeds from the BNP Transaction.

Provision for Income Taxes
The Company's consolidated provision for income taxes increased 12.7%, from
$32.4 million to $36.5 million, compared to the same period in 1999. The
effective income tax rate was 43.0%, down from 45.1 % for the corresponding
period in 1999. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was due primarily
to an increase in income before provision for income taxes as well as an element
of a reduction in certain non-deductible goodwill due to the completion of the
BNP Paribas transaction. The effective tax rate reflects differences between
foreign income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate, taxes
on the repatriation of foreign earnings, and foreign withholding taxes on
dividends paid to the Company.
Net Income
Consolidated net income increased 22.8%, from $39.4 million to $48.4 million,
compared to the same period in 1999. The increase reflects higher revenue,
decreased costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue and a lower effective
income tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's operations are expected to be funded by cash provided by operating
activities and by financing arrangements maintained by the Company in the
markets in which it operates. The Company's primary use of funds will be for the
acquisition of new vehicles and the repayment of the VMS acquisition
indebtedness. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's
expenditures for new vehicles were approximately $5.7 billion and proceeds from
the disposition of used vehicles were approximately $3.7 billion. For 2000,
management expects the Company's expenditures for new vehicles (net of proceeds
from the disposition of used vehicles) to be higher than in 1999. Since the late
1980's, the Company has acquired vehicles related to its vehicle rental
operations primarily pursuant to manufacturer repurchase programs. Repurchase
prices under the repurchase programs are based on either (1) a specified
percentage of original vehicle cost determined by the month the vehicle is
returned to the manufacturer or (2) the original capitalization cost less a set
daily depreciation amount (the "Repurchase Programs"). Repurchase Programs limit
residual risk with respect to vehicles purchased under the programs. This
enables management to better estimate depreciation expense in advance. VMS has
historically not participated in Repurchase Programs and the Company does not
expect it to do so in the future. Generally, customers with open-end leases,
which make up approximately 94% of VMS' lease portfolio, bear the residual risk
with respect to their vehicles. For closed-end leases, which make up
approximately 6% of VMS' lease portfolio, VMS bears the residual risk. The
Company has established methods for disposition of used vehicles that are not
covered by Repurchase Programs.
Historically, the Company's financing requirements for rental vehicles have
typically reached an annual peak during the second and third calendar quarters,
as fleet levels build in response to increased rental demand during that period.
The typical low point for cash requirements occurs during the end of the fourth
quarter and the beginning of the first quarter, coinciding with lower levels of
vehicle and rental demand. Management expects that this pattern will continue
including VMS, whose cash requirements have historically been relatively
consistent over the course of a given year.
Management expects that cash flows from operations and funds from available
credit facilities will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated cash
requirements for operating purposes for the next twelve months. Trade
receivables, from vehicle rental operations, also provide liquidity with
approximately 12 days of daily sales outstanding.
The Company made capital investments for property improvements totaling $41.0
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
The Company has an interest rate management policy, including a target mix for
average fixed rate and floating rate indebtedness on a consolidated basis.
However, an increase in interest rates may have a material adverse impact on the
Company's profitability.
Vehicle Rental ABS Facility
To support vehicle rental operations, the Company has a domestic integrated
financing program that as of September 30, 2000 provides for up to $4.3 billion
in financing for vehicles covered by Repurchase Programs, with up to 15% of the
asset-backed securities ("ABS") Facility available for vehicles not covered by
Repurchase Programs. The ABS Facility provides for the issuance of up to $1.5
billion of asset-backed variable funding notes (the "Variable Funding Notes")
and $2.8 billion of asset-backed medium term notes are outstanding under the ABS
Facility (the "Medium Term Notes"). The Variable Funding Notes and the Medium
Term Notes are indirectly secured by, among other things, a first priority
security interest in the Company's rental fleet.
<PAGE>
AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
(Unaudited)
The Variable Funding Notes support the issuance by a special purpose company of
commercial paper notes that are rated A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
("S&P") and P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). The Medium Term
Notes are guaranteed under a surety bond issued by either MBIA and AMBAC
Assurance and as a result are rated AAA by S&P and Aaa by Moody's. At September
30, 2000, the Company had approximately $3.7 billion of debt outstanding under
the ABS Facility and had approximately $625 million of additional credit
available for rental vehicle purchases.
Based on current market conditions and the Company's current banking
relationships, management expects to fund maturities of the Medium Term Notes
either by the issuance of new medium term notes or an increase in the
outstanding principal amount of the Variable Funding Notes depending on market
conditions at the time the Medium Term Notes mature. However, management cannot
be sure that this will occur.
On July 20, 2000, one of the Company's vehicle rental financing subsidiaries
issued $200 million of Series 2000-3 Floating Rate Rental Car Asset-Backed Notes
(Series 2000-3 Notes). The notes are secured by the Company's vehicles.
Anticipated principal repayment on the Notes commence in May 2003 through
October 2003. The interest rate with respect to the Series 2000-3 Notes is equal
to LIBOR plus 19 basis points per annum. The Series 2000-3 Notes are guaranteed
under a Surety Bond issued by MBIA and are rated AAA by Standard and Poors and
Aaa by Moody's. The Series 2000-3 Notes rank pari pasu with the Variable Funding
Note and the Medium Term Notes described above.
On August 21, 2000, one of the Company's vehicle rental financing subsidiaries
issued $500 million of Series 2000-4 Floating Rate Rental Car Asset Backed Notes
(Series 2000-4 Notes). The notes are secured by the Company's vehicles.
Anticipated principal repayment on the Notes commence on June 2005 through
November 2005. The interest rate with respect to the Series 2000-4 Notes is
equal to LIBOR plus 25 basis points per annum. The Series 2000-4 Notes are
guaranteed under a Surety Bond issued by MBIA and are rated AAA by Standard and
Poors and Aaa by Moody's. The Series 2000-4 Notes rank pari pasu with the
Variable Funding Note and the Medium Term Notes described above.
Vehicle Leasing ABS Facilities
VMS-U.S currently has a $3.0 billion lease financing program (the "Vehicle
Leasing ABS Facility") supported by the leases and vehicles owned by VMS-U.S.
The Vehicle Leasing ABS facility consists of two classes of floating rate
asset-backed notes; Class A-1 notes, which total $550 million and Class A-2,
which total $450 million. Both classes of notes have an interest rate, which is
reset monthly at LIBOR plus 32 basis points for the Class A-1 notes and LIBOR
plus 35 basis points for the Class A-2 notes. The Class A-1 notes have an
average expected life of 2 years and commence amortizing on March 2001 with a
final stated maturity of October 2006. The Class A-2 notes have an average
expected life of 3 years and commence amortizing when the Class A-2 are repaid
in full. The Class A-2 notes have a final stated maturity of October 2011. Both
classes of notes are rated AAA by S&P and Aaa by Moody's. In addition to the
floating rate asset-backed notes, the Company may issue up to $1.75 billion
Variable Funding Investor Notes to a group of multi-seller commercial paper
conduits.
At September 30, 2000 the Company had two series of Preferred Membership
Interest outstanding which total $99.3 million. Preferred Membership Interest
are financial instruments issued by the Company to third parties in connection
with VMS vehicle financing.
Other Facilities
Borrowings for the Company's other international operations consist mainly of
loans obtained from local and international banks. All borrowings for
international operations are in the local currencies of the countries in which
those operations are conducted. The Company guarantees only the borrowings of
its Rent A Car subsidiary in Argentina and Puerto Rico which had outstanding
debt of $10.4 million at September 30, 2000. In addition, the Company has
guaranteed two facilities of its' Canadian Leasing Operation; A $(Canadian) 25
million warehousing facility of which the Company has guaranteed up to
$(Canadian) 25 million of residual losses; and the guarantee of a $(Canadian) 5
million overdraft facility. At September 30, 2000 the total debt for the
Company's other international operations was approximately $254 million. The
impact on the Company's liquidity and financial condition due to the exchange
rate fluctuations of the Company's foreign operations is not expected to be
material.

Acquisition Financing
The Company is party to a credit agreement (the " Credit Facility") which
provides for up to $1.35 billion of borrowings in the form of (1) a Revolving
Credit Facility in the amount of up to $350.0 million, (2) a $250.0 million Term
A Loan, (3) a $375.0 million Term B Loan and (4) a $375.0 million Term C Loan.
Upon consummation of the VMS Acquisition, Avis borrowed as of June 30, 1999, the
full $1.0 billion under the Term A Loan, Term B Loan and Term C Loan and $73.0
million under the Revolving Credit Facility. The loans under the Credit Facility
bear interest at variable rates at fixed margins above either Chase Manhattan
Bank's alternative base rate or the Eurodollar rate. The Credit Facility is
guaranteed by each U.S subsidiary of Avis Group Holdings, Inc., but excluding
any insurance subsidiaries, banking subsidiaries, securitization or other
vehicle financing subsidiaries. All borrowings by the Company under the Credit
Facility are secured by a first-priority perfected lien on substantially all of
the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor under the
Credit Facility excluding assets that secure the ABS Facilities, and by a pledge
of all the capital stock of each of Avis Group Holdings, Inc.'s U.S.
subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of its first tier non-U.S.
subsidiaries. In addition, in connection with the VMS acquisition, the Company
issued Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") which mature in 2009. Avis Group
Holdings, Inc.'s obligation under the Notes are subordinate and junior in right
of payment in all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company,
including all indebtedness under the New Credit Facility. The obligations of the
Company under the Notes and the Indenture are guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis by each of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries, other than its
banking subsidiaries, insurance subsidiaries and securitization and other
vehicle financing subsidiaries which have not guaranteed senior indebtedness of
the Company. The Credit Facility and the Indenture contain numerous financing
and operating covenants that limit the discretion of the Company's management
with respect to certain business matters. These covenants place significant
restrictions on, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain of
its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and other
distributions, prepay subordinated indebtedness, create liens or other
encumbrances, make capital expenditures, make certain investments or
acquisitions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, sell or otherwise
dispose of assets and merge with other entities and otherwise restrict corporate
activities. The Credit Facility and the Indenture contain customary events of
default. As of September 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all such
covenants.
On August 9, 2000, the Company completed a transaction disposing of 80% of its
interest in PHH Europe (see Note 6). The proceeds from the transaction were used
to repay Term Loan A, B and C. These amounts cannot be reborrowed. Concurrently
with the closing, an amendment to the Credit Facility became effective. This
amendment further restricted the Company's covenants required under the Credit
Facility and increased the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility
to $450 million As of September 30, 2000 there was $105 million outstanding
under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Seasonality
The Company's vehicle rental business is seasonal, with decreased travel in
winter months and heightened activity in spring and summer. To accommodate
increased demand, the Company increases its available fleet during the second
and third quarters. Since VMS' business is generally not seasonal, these
patterns of seasonality are expected to continue. Certain of the Company's
operating expenses are fixed and cannot be reduced during periods of decreased
rental demand. In certain geographic markets, the impact of seasonality has been
reduced by emphasizing leisure or business travel in the off-peak season.
Inflation
The increased acquisition cost of vehicles is the primary inflationary factor
affecting the Company's operations. Many of the Company's other operating
expenses are inflation sensitive, with increases in inflation generally
resulting in increased costs of operations. The effect of inflation-driven cost
increases on the Company's overall operating costs is not expected to be greater
for the Company than for its competitors.

Recent Accounting Standards
A recent pronouncement of the Financial Accounting Standards Board which is not
required to be adopted at this date, is Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 - "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", ("SFAS 133") which is effective for the Company's consolidated
financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2001. SFAS 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.
It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position at fair value. The impact of
the adoption of SFAS 133 on the Company's consolidated financial statements has
not yet been determined, however it is not expected to have a material effect.
Forward Looking Information
Certain matters discussed in this report that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties including the impact of competitive
products and pricing, changing market conditions; and other risks which were
detailed from time to time in the Company's publicly-filed documents, including
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1999. Actual
results may differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking
statements represent the Company's judgement as of the date of this report.
<PAGE>
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
Quantitative and Qualitative Financial Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2000 that are
sensitive to changes on its debt obligations and on its interest rate swap
agreements. The following derivative instruments' agreements have been entered
into by the Company:
(a) In order to reduce its risk from interest rate fluctuations under its asset
backed debt, the Company has entered into domestic interest rate cap and
interest rate floor agreements with a duration of up to 10 years,
respectively. The domestic interest rate cap and interest rate floor
agreements have notional values of $1,059.5 million and $314.8 million,
respectively. The agreements established the average domestic and foreign
interest rate ceiling and floor on asset-backed vehicle financing of 6.68%
and 5.00%, respectively.
(b) The Company has also entered into U.S. and foreign interest rate swap
agreements. Swap agreements which effectively convert floating rates of
interest to fixed rates of interest on the Company's debt have an aggregate
notional value of $295.0 million and terminate through October 2001. Swap
agreements which effectively convert floating rates of interest to fixed
rates on interest on the Company's debt have an aggregate notional value of
$600.0 million and terminate through May 2005.
(c) Depending on market fundamentals of the price of gasoline and other
conditions, the Company may purchase put options to reduce or eliminate the
risk of gasoline price declines. Put options purchased by the Company
effectively establish a minimum sales transaction fee for the volume of
gasoline purchased on the Company's programs. An increase in the value of
the options is highly correlated to decreases in the average price of
gasoline purchased by the Company's cardholders. Put options permit the
Company to participate in price increases above the option price. The cost
of an option is amortized in the month the option expires. Gains from the
sale or exercise of options are recognized when the underlying option is
sold. At September 30, 2000, the total contract amount of such options was
51.7 million gallons of gasoline and the unamortized cost of options was
$1.3 million and is included in other assets in the Company's consolidated
statement of financial position.
