                             CENDANT CORPORATION
             UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME
          OF CENDANT CORPORATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

   The pro forma consolidated statement of income of Cendant Corporation
("Cendant") for the year ended December 31, 1996 is presented as if the
following transactions had occurred on January 1, 1996: (i) the acquisition
of Avis, Inc. ("Avis") and the November 1996 issuance of Cendant common stock
(the "Avis Offering") as partial consideration for Avis; (ii) the September
1997 initial public offering of a majority interest in the corporation which
owns all company-owned Avis car rental locations ("ARAC"); (iii) the
acquisition of Resort Condominiums International, Inc. and its affiliates
("RCI") and the issuance of Cendant common stock as partial consideration for
RCI; (iv) the May, 1996 acquisition of the common stock of Coldwell Banker
Corporation ("Coldwell Banker") and the related contribution of Coldwell
Banker's owned real estate brokerage offices (the "Owned Brokerage Business")
to a newly created independent trust (the "Trust"); (v) the receipt of
proceeds from an offering of Cendant common stock (the "Second Quarter 1996
Offering") to the extent necessary to fund (a) the acquisition of Coldwell
Banker and the related repayment of indebtedness and acquisition expenses and
(b) the cash consideration portion in the Avis acquisition; (vi) the
acquisitions of: the six Century 21 non-owned regions ("Century 21 NORS")
during the second quarter of 1996, Travelodge in January, 1996 and Electronic
Realty Associates ("ERA") in February, 1996 (collectively, the "Other 1996
Acquisitions"); and (vii) the February, 1996 issuance of $240 million of 4
3/4% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2003 to the extent such proceeds were used
to finance the Other 1996 Acquisitions.

   All of Cendant's aforementioned acquisitions have been accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, assets acquired and
liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values, with
appropriate recognition given to the effect of current interest rates and
income taxes. Management believes that the accounting used to reflect the
above transactions provides a reasonable basis on which to present the
unaudited pro forma statement of income of Cendant for the year ended
December 31, 1996. Cendant has entered into certain immaterial transactions
which are not reflected in the pro forma consolidated statement of income.

   The pro forma consolidated statement of income does not purport to present
the results of operations of Cendant had the transactions and events assumed
therein occurred on the dates specified, nor are they necessarily indicative
of the results of operations that may be achieved in the future. The pro
forma statement of income does not reflect cost savings and revenue
enhancements that management believes have been and may continue to be
realized following the acquisitions. No assurances can be made as to the
amount of cost savings or revenue enhancements, if any, that were actually
realized or will be realized.

   The pro forma consolidated statement of income is based on certain
assumptions and adjustments described in the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Statement of Income and should be read in conjunction therewith
and with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of
Cendant, as included in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Cendant Corporation
dated January 29, 1998, and the financial statements and related notes of the
acquired companies previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Regulation S-X Rule 3-05, "Financial Statements of Businesses
Acquired or to be Acquired."

                             CENDANT CORPORATION
        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

A. SERVICE FEE REVENUE:

   The pro forma adjustment reflects the elimination of franchise revenue
paid by the Century 21 NORS to Century 21 under sub-franchise agreements
(offset against operating expense--see Note E) and the addition of franchise
fees to be received under franchise contracts with owned brokerage offices
upon contribution of the Owned Brokerage Business to the Trust. Pro forma
adjustments to service fee revenue consist of the following ($000's):

Eliminate:
  Century 21 revenue included as Century 21 NORS
    operating expense...................................   $(1,003)
Add:
  Franchise fees from Owned Brokerage Business .........    12,838
                                                         ----------
  Total.................................................   $11,835
                                                         ==========

   The Franchise fees from the Owned Brokerage Business, which are based on
the franchise contracts with the Trust, are calculated at approximately 5.7%
of gross commissions earned by the Owned Brokerage Business on sales of real
estate properties.

B. OWNED BROKERAGE BUSINESS REVENUE:

   The pro forma adjustment reflects the elimination of revenue generated
from Coldwell Banker's 318 formerly owned brokerage offices. Cendant
contributed the net assets of the Owned Brokerage Business to the Trust upon
consummation of the Coldwell Banker acquisition.

C. OTHER REVENUE:

   The pro forma adjustment reflects the elimination of revenue associated
with investment income generated from RCI cash and marketable securities
which were distributed in the form of a dividend to the former shareholder of
RCI prior to consummation of the RCI acquisition.

D. CAR RENTAL OPERATING COMPANY OPERATIONS:

   At the time Cendant acquired Avis, it had developed and announced a plan
(the "Plan") to do the following:

     1. Retain certain assets acquired including; the reservation system,
        franchise agreements, trademarks, tradenames and certain liabilities.

     2. Segregate the assets used in the car rental operations of ARAC and
        dispose of approximately 75% of ARAC within one year through an
        initial public offering ("IPO") thereby diluting Cendant's interest to
        approximately 25%. All of the proceeds from the IPO would be retained
        by ARAC.

     3. Enter into a license agreement with ARAC licensing its use of the
        trademarks and tradename under which Cendant is to provide other
        franchise services.

   In September 1997, ARAC completed an IPO which diluted Cendant's equity
interest in ARAC to approximately 27.5%. The actual results of the IPO and its
related impact on the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for
the year ended December 31, 1996 does not differ materially from the pro forma
effects of the assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of such
financial statement.

(i)     Subsequent to the IPO, Cendant retained and operates the
        telecommunications and computer processing system which services ARAC
        for reservations, rental agreement processing, accounting and fleet
        control. The pro forma adjustment reflects a planned contractual
        agreement with ARAC, under which Cendant charges ARAC at cost for
        reservation and information technology services provided.

(ii)    The estimated fair value of Avis property and equipment intended to
        be retained by ARAC is $101.0 million, comprised primarily of
        furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements, which is amortized
        on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which
        average seven years. Goodwill acquired by ARAC is valued at $154.0
        million and is amortized on a straight line basis over a benefit
        period of 40 years.

 (iii)  In connection with the acquisition of Avis, approximately $1 billion
        of tax-advantaged debt was repaid and replaced by a similar amount of
        non tax-advantaged debt. This resulted in an increase in interest
        rates, due to the loss of tax benefits from the Employee Stock
        Ownership Plan ("ESOP") financing which were passed through from
        various lenders to Avis ($000's):

(iv)    Reflects historical franchise fee revenue from third parties.

(v)     In connection with the IPO of ARAC, Cendant entered into a 50-year
        master license agreement with ARAC for ARAC's use of the Avis
        trademarks and tradename and receives royalty fees based upon 4% of
        ARAC revenue, escalating to 4.5% of ARAC revenue over a 5-year
        period. The pro forma adjustment reflects the royalty payment to be
        made to Cendant from ARAC which is calculated at 4.0% of the revenues
        generated by ARAC. Such payments are calculated as follows ($000's):

                  Revenues generated by ARAC..  $1,908,985
                  Royalty percentage..........         4.0%

(vi)    The pro forma adjustment eliminates historical interest income on the
        portion of cash generated from the Second Quarter 1996 Offering which
        was used to finance the Avis acquisition.

E. OPERATING EXPENSE:

   The pro forma adjustments reflects the elimination of; (i) royalty
payments made by the Century 21 NORS to Century 21 under subfranchise
agreements (offset against service fee revenue--see Note A); (ii) the payment
of Coldwell Banker stock options as a result of change in control provisions
in connection with the acquisition of Coldwell Banker by Cendant and; (iii) a
one-time bonus payment paid to RCI employees by the former shareholder of RCI
pursuant to the stock purchase agreement in connection with the acquisition
of RCI by Cendant ($000's).

                                         ========

F. OPERATING EXPENSE:

   The pro forma adjustment reflects the elimination of expenses associated
with Coldwell Banker's formerly owned brokerage offices (see Note B). The
majority of Owned Brokerage Business expenses are directly attributable to
such business. Based on Cendant's due diligence of Coldwell Banker, Cendant
determined that common expenses were allocated to the Owned Brokerage
Business based on a reasonable allocation method. Such allocations were based
on the ratio of number of employees, the amount of space occupied and revenue
generated by the Owned Brokerage Business relative to Coldwell Banker in the
aggregate and multiplied by corresponding common costs as appropriate to
determine allocable expenses.

 RCI

   The fair value of RCI's property and equipment is estimated at
approximately $55.7 million and is amortized on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives, ranging from 7 to 30 years.

   RCI's intangible assets consist of customer lists and goodwill. The fair
value of RCI's customer lists are approximately $100 million and are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the period to be benefited which is
10 years. The fair value ascribed to customer lists is determined based on
the historical renewal rates of RCI members. Goodwill is valued at
approximately $477.7 million and is determined to have a benefit period of 40
years, which is based on RCI being a leading provider of services to the
timeshare industry, which includes being the world's largest provider of
timeshare exchange programs.

 Avis

   The estimated fair value of Avis's property and equipment retained by
Cendant is $96.0 million, comprised primarily of reservation equipment and
related assets and to the Avis Headquarters office. Such property and
equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated benefit
periods ranging from 5 to 30 years. Avis's intangible assets recorded by
Cendant (not applicable to ARAC) are comprised of the Avis trademark, a
reservation system and customer data base, and goodwill. The fair value of
the Avis trademark is approximately $400 million and is amortized on a
straight-line basis over a benefit period of 40 years. The reservation system
and customer data base are valued at approximately $95.0 million and $14.0
million, respectively and are amortized on a straight line basis over the
periods to be benefited which are 10 years and 6.5 years, respectively.

   Goodwill applicable to the allocated portion of the business to be
retained by Cendant is valued at approximately $334.0 million and is
determined to have a benefit period of 40 years. This benefit period is based
on Avis' position as the second largest car rental system in the world, the
recognition of its brand name in the car rental industry and the longevity of
the car rental business.

 Coldwell Banker

   The fair value of Coldwell Banker's property and equipment (excluding
land) of $15.7 million, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
estimated benefit periods ranging from 5 to 25 years. Coldwell Banker's
intangible assets are comprised of franchise agreements and goodwill. The
franchise agreements with the brokerage offices comprising the Trust are
valued independently of all other franchise agreements with Coldwell Banker
affiliates. Franchise agreements within the Trust and independent of the
Trust are valued at $218.5 million and $218.7 million, respectively, and are
amortized on a straight line basis over the respective benefit periods of 40
years and 35 years, respectively. The benefit period associated with Trust
franchise agreements was based upon a long history of gross commission
sustained by the Trust. The benefit period associated with the Coldwell
Banker affiliates' franchise agreements was based upon the historical
profitability of such agreements and historical renewal rates. Goodwill is
valued

at approximately $351.8 million and is determined to have a benefit period of
40 years. This benefit period is based on Coldwell Banker's position as the
largest gross revenue producing real estate company in North America, the
recognition of its brand name in the real estate brokerage industry and the
longevity of the real estate brokerage business.

 Other 1996 Acquisitions

   The fair values of Other 1996 Acquisitions franchise agreements aggregate
$61.0 million and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
periods to be benefited, which range from 12 to 30 years. The estimated fair
values of Other Acquisitions goodwill aggregate $187.4 million and are each
being amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods to be benefited,
which are 40 years.

 RCI

   The pro forma adjustment reflects the recording of interest expense on
$285 million of borrowings under Cendant's revolving credit facilities at an
interest rate of 6.3% which is the variable rate in effect on the date of
borrowing. Borrowings represent the amount used as partial consideration in
the RCI acquisition.

 4-3/4% Notes

   The pro forma adjustment reflects interest expense and amortization of
deferred financing costs related to the February 1996 issuance of the 4-3/4%
Notes (5.0% effective interest rate) to the extent that such proceeds were
used to finance the acquisitions of ERA ($36.8 million), Travelodge ($39.3
million), and the Century 21 NORS ($95.0 million).

 Effect of a 1/8% variance in variable interest rates

   As mentioned above, interest expense was incurred on borrowings under the
Cendant's revolving credit facility which partially funded the acquisition of
RCI. Cendant recorded interest expense using the variable interest rate in
effect on the respective borrowing dates. The effect on pro forma net income
assuming a 1/8% variance in the variable interest rate used to calculate
interest expense is immaterial.

I. OTHER EXPENSES:

   The pro forma adjustment eliminates charitable contributions made by the
former stockholder of RCI.
