INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees and Participants of
Cendant Corporation Employee Savings Plan
Parsippany, NJ 07054


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Cendant Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits  for  the  years  then  ended.  These  financial   statements  are  the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the net assets  available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1998 and 1997,  and the changes in net assets  available  for  benefits  for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was  conducted  for the  purpose  of  forming  an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedules of (1) assets
held  for  investment  purposes  as of  December  31,  1998  and (2)  reportable
transactions  for the year ended December 31, 1998 are presented for the purpose
of  additional  analysis  and are not a  required  part of the  basic  financial
statements  but are  supplementary  information  required by the  Department  of
Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee
Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974.

                    Cendant Corporation Employee Savings Plan
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     The following  description of the Cendant Corporation Employee Savings Plan
     (the "Plan") provides only general  information.  Participants should refer
     to  the  Plan  agreement  for a more  complete  description  of the  Plan's
     provisions.

     The Plan,  established  July 2, 1990 and amended and restated as of January
     1, 1998, is a defined contribution plan  established for  certain  eligible
     employees of Cendant Corporation ("Cendant" or the "Company") that provides
     Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) employee salary deferral  benefits and
     additional  employer contributions for the Company's employees. In December
     1997, HFS  Incorporated  merged  with  and into and CUC International  Inc.
     ("CUC"), and the resultant merged company  was renamed Cendant Corporation.
     Each  of  the existing  employee savings  plans of the merged companies are
     currently being maintained. The  Plan  is  subject to the provisions of the
     Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  In connection
     with  the amendment and  restatement, effective  January 1,  1998,  certain
     provisions of the  Plan  were  revised, including eligibility requirements,
     Company matching contributions  and the vesting of Plan benefits.  The Plan
     was also  amended  various times during 1997 and 1998 to allow for existing
     plans of companies acquired by Cendant to be combined into the Plan (see
     "Rollovers").

     The following is a summary of certain Plan provisions:

     a.  Eligibility  - Each  regular  employee  (as defined in the Plan) of the
         Company  is  eligible  to  participate  in the Plan on the  entry  date
         following  both  attainment  of age 18 and  completion of six months of
         service.

     b.  Employee  contributions  -  An  employee  may  elect  to  make  pre-tax
         contributions  up to  fifteen  percent of annual  compensation  up to a
         maximum of $10,000 and $9,500 for 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     c.  Employer  contributions - The Company makes  contributions  to the Plan
         equal to one hundred percent (100%) of all eligible  employees'  salary
         deferral up to three  percent  (3%) of the  employee  compensation.  An
         additional discretionary employer contribution may be made, equal to up
         to fifty percent (50%) of the employees' salary deferral  contributions
         over three percent (3%) of the employees' compensation, up to a maximum
         of six percent (6%) of the employees' compensation.

     d.  Rollovers  -  All  employees,  upon  commencement  of  employment,  are
         provided the option of making a rollover  contribution into the Plan in
         accordance with Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations.

         In April 1997, the Company acquired  PHH Corporation  ("PHH")by merger.
         PHH is a leading provider of mortgage, relocation and fleet  management
         services.  On May 1, 1998, the PHH Corporation Employee Investment Plan
         (the "PHH Plan") which,  at such time,  was comprised of $152.2 million
         in assets,  was merged  into the Plan (the "Plan  Merger").  Coincident
         with the Plan Merger, PHH Plan participants  became participants in the
         Plan.  Accordingly,  the transfer of each of the participants' PHH Plan
         assets that existed at the transfer  date were  invested in  comparable
         investment  categories  in  proportionate  amounts  within the Plan and
         maintained  the same  vesting  schedule as was in effect  under the PHH
         Plan.  Effective as of the date of the Plan Merger,  investment options
         for  participants  under the PHH Plan were  terminated  and all  future
         contributions were invested in options available under the Plan and are
         subject to the provisions of the Plan.

         In  connection  with  companies  previously  acquired by Cendant,  plan
         assets  associated  with the  qualified  plans of Century 21 of Eastern
         Pennsylvania  Inc.,  Century 21 of the  MidAtlantic  States,  Inc.  and
         portions of the Coldwell Banker  Corporation  Plan were merged into the
         Plan.  Also, in 1997 the Company sold a majority of its interest in the
         car  rental   operations  of  Avis,  Inc.  by  offering  stock  in  its
         subsidiary,  Avis Rent A Car, Inc. ("ARAC"), to the public but retained
         the business  consistent with its service provider  profile,  including
         the subsidiary of Avis,  Inc. that provides  reservation and technology
         services to ARAC  ("Wizcom").  In 1997, the account  balances of Wizcom
         employees were transferred from the ARAC 401-k plan into the Plan. As a
         result of the aforementioned  plan transfers,  $152.2 million and $34.4
         million  of  assets  were  merged  into  the  Plan  in 1998  and  1997,
         respectively,  and are  included in  Contributions  - Rollovers  in the
         Statements  of Changes in Net Assets  Available  for  Benefits  for the
         years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.

     e.  Vesting  Schedule - Employer  contributions  credited  to  accounts  of
         employees who commenced  employment on or subsequent to January 1, 1998
         shall vest according to the following schedule:

                                    Years of                             Vested
                                     Service                            Interest
                                    --------                            --------
                                  Fewer than 1                             0%
                                       1                                  34%
                                       2                                  67%
                                       3                                 100%

         Employer  contributions credited to accounts of employees who commenced
         employment prior to January 1, 1998 shall continue to be 100% vested in
         such contributions.

     f.  Termination  - Although the Company has not  expressed any intention to
         do so, the  Company  reserves  the right to modify,  suspend,  amend or
         terminate  the  Plan in whole  or in part at any  time  subject  to the
         provisions of ERISA. If the Plan is terminated, the amounts credited to
         the employer  contribution  accounts of all  participants  become fully
         vested.

     g.  Loan  Provision -  Employees  may borrow up to the lesser of $50,000 or
         fifty percent  of their vested  balance, provided the vested balance is
         at least one thousand dollars. Interest is charged at a commercial rate
         and is secured  by the vested  balance.  Loan  repayments  must be made
         through payroll  deductions over a term not to exceed five years unless
         the proceeds of the loan are used to purchase the  principal  residence
         of the employee, in which case the term is not to exceed fifteen years.
         The loans bear interest at a rate commensurate with the prime sale plus
         one percent. Principal and  interest is paid  ratably  through  monthly
         payroll deductions.

     h.  Benefits  Payable - Participants  are entitled  to withdraw  all or any
         portion of their after-tax contributions. Participants may make full or
         partial  withdrawals of  funds in  any of their accounts upon attaining
         age 59 1/2 for  for financial  hardship, as  defined in the Plan before
         that age.  Distributions  to terminated  employees are recorded in each
         fund's  financial  statements  when paid.  Amounts  payable to
         participants  who  have  terminated  participation  in  the  Plan  were
         approximately  $1.3  million and $1.0  million at December 31, 1998 and
         1997,  respectively.  These amounts will be reflected as liabilities in
         the  Plan's  Form  5500  in   accordance   with   Department  of  Labor
         Regulations.

     i.  Forfeited Accounts - At December 31, 1998, forfeited nonvested accounts
         totaled  $7,097.  These accounts will be used to reduce future employer
         contributions.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.  Basis of  Presentation  - The  accompanying  financial  statements  are
     prepared on an accrual basis of accounting. All administrative costs of the
     Plan, other than costs incurred to maintain participant loan accounts, were
     paid by the Company.

     b.  Valuation of  Investments - The Plan's  investments  are stated at fair
     value.  Securities traded on a national  securities  exchange are valued at
     the last  reported  sales price on the last  business day of the plan year.
     The  shares of  registered  investment  companies  are valued at the quoted
     market price which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan
     at year-end.  Loans to participants are valued at cost, which  approximates
     fair value.  Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date
     basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     The change  between  the fair value and the cost of  investments  which are
     held at each statement date is reflected as net (depreciation) appreciation
     in fair value of investments in  the  statement  of changes in  net  assets
     available for benefits.  The net realized  gains  (losses)  on  investments
     is the difference between the proceeds received,  after fees and  expenses,
     and the average cost of the investments sold.

     The Plan's group  annuity  contract is valued at contract  value.  Contract
     value represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest, less
     funds used to pay benefits to participants.

     c. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make
     estimates  and  assumptions   that  affect  reported  amounts  and  related
     disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.   INVESTMENTS

     Participants  direct their contributions into any of the investment options
     made available by the Plan.  Participants may change their investment
     allocations between funds on a daily basis.

     The investment  options  available to  participants as of December 31, 1998
     consisted of the following:

      a.    Cendant  Corporation  Common Stock Fund - Participants  may elect to
            invest up to 50% of their account  balance in the  Company's  common
            stock which is an equity  security  publicly  traded on the New York
            Stock Exchange under the symbol "CD".

      b.    Merrill  Lynch  Equity  Index  Trust - This trust  seeks  investment
            results  that mirror  those of the  Standard & Poor's 500  Composite
            Stock Price Index ("S&P 500").  The S&P 500 stocks will make up all,
            or nearly all, of the fund assets.  Trust assets of 5% to 10% may be
            S&P 500 index futures and/or index Options.

      c.    Cendant Stable Value Fund - Certain  contributions  in this fund are
            invested under contracts with major insurance  companies providing a
            high level of  security  for  principal  and a fixed rate of return.
            Contributions  made to this fund are  invested in the Merrill  Lynch
            Retirement  Preservation  Trust which  invests in high quality fixed
            interest  instruments.  The fund is designed to provide the investor
            with a defined rate of return and low risk of principal.

      d.    Merrill  Lynch  Corporate  Bond Fund  Inter-Term  - This mutual fund
            invests in corporate debt securities, primarily through high-quality
            investment grade securities.

<PAGE>


      e.    Merrill  Lynch Growth Fund - This mutual fund invests in  securities
            that are selling at discounts  from  price-to-book  value ratios and
            have  dividend  yields  greater  than the stock  market  average  or
            historic yields. Large capitalization issues will be emphasized, but
            the fund has flexibility to invest in small capitalization companies
            with similar value. The fund may invest up to 20% of total assets in
            foreign securities.

      f.    Merrill Lynch  Capital Fund - This mutual fund allows  management to
            shift  emphasis  based on its  evaluation of changes in economic and
            market trends. The fund's portfolio may be invested substantially in
            equity securities,  corporate bonds or money market securities. Over
            longer periods, a major portion of the fund's portfolio will consist
            of equity securities of larger market capitalization  companies. The
            fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities.

      g.    AIM Charter Fund - This balanced mutual fund seeks growth of capital
            and current income by investing primarily in dividend-paying  common
            stocks. A significant  portion of assets may also be held in cash or
            other   income-producing   securities,   including  U.S.  government
            securities or debt securities.

      h.    Templeton  Foreign Fund - This mutual fund seeks  long-term  capital
            growth through investing in stocks and debt obligations of companies
            and governments outside the United States.

      i.    AIM  Weingarten  Fund - This growth mutual fund seeks capital growth
            by investing  primarily in common  stocks of leading U.S.  companies
            which have  displayed  strong  earnings  momentum  or a  significant
            upsurge in earnings.

      j.    MFS  Emerging  Growth Fund - This mutual fund  invests  primarily in
            common  stocks of companies  that are early in their life cycles and
            have the  potential to become major  enterprises.  The fund may also
            invest  in  more  established  companies  whose  earning  growth  is
            expected  to  accelerate  due to new  management,  new  products  or
            changes in consumer demand.

      k.    AIM Constellation Fund - This mutual fund seeks capital appreciation
            by   investing   primarily  in  common   stocks  with   emphasis  on
            medium-sized and smaller emerging growth companies.

      l.    Putnam New Opportunity  Fund - This mutual fund seeks  above-average
            capital  appreciation  from rapidly  growing sectors of the economy.
            Fund  management  searches  for  companies  with strong and expanded
            earnings,  committed  management,  freedom from excessive government
            regulation, and substantial insider equity holdings.

      m.    Kobrick  Capital  Fund - This  mutual  fund  seeks  maximum  capital
            appreciation  by  investing   primarily  in  equity   securities  of
            companies   with  a  wide   range  of   capitalizations,   including
            undervalued  special  situations and emerging growth companies.  The
            fund may  invest  up to 35% of its total  assets  in other  types of
            securities, including corporate bonds.

      n.    Kobrick  Emerging  Growth Fund - This  mutual  fund seeks  growth of
            capital by investing  in the equity  securities  of emerging  growth
            companies, primarily with small capitalizations. The fund may invest
            up to 35%  of  its  total  assets  in  other  types  of  securities,
            including corporate bonds, or in larger, more mature companies.

<PAGE>

      o.    Kobrick  Growth Fund - This  mutual fund seeks to provide  long-term
            growth of capital by  investing  in the equity  securities  of large
            capitalization companies. The fund may invest up to 35% of its total
            assets in other types of securities,  including  corporate bonds, or
            in small capitalization and emerging growth companies.

     Participants  should refer to each fund's  prospectus  for a more  complete
     description of the risks associated with each fund.

</TABLE>



5.   INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE STATUS

     The Plan is qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code of
     1986 (the "Code") and is exempt from taxation  under  section 501(a) of the
     Code. The Plan received a favorable IRS determination  letter dated May 21,
     1996. The Plan has been amended since receiving the  determination  letter.
     However, the Plan  administrator  believes  that the Plan is currently
     designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable  requirements
     of the Code and the related  trust was tax exempt as of the financial
     statement dates. Therefore,  no provision  for income taxes has been
     included in the Plan's financial statements.

6.   OTHER EVENTS

     Company litigation
     In April  1998,  the  Company  publicly  announced  that it had  discovered
     accounting  irregularities  in the  former  business  units  of  CUC.  Such
     discovery prompted  investigations into such matters by the Company and the
     Audit Committee of its Board of Directors. As a result of the findings from
     the investigations,  the Company restated its previously reported financial
     results  for 1997,  1996 and 1995.  Since such  announcement,  more than 70
     lawsuits claiming to be class actions,  two lawsuits claiming to be brought
     derivatively on the Company's behalf and several  individual  lawsuits have
     been filed in various courts against the Company and other defendants.  The
     Court has ordered consolidation of many of the actions.

     The  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC")  and the United  States
     Attorney  for the  District  of New  Jersey are  conducting  investigations
     relating to the matters  referenced above. The SEC advised the Company that
     its inquiry  should not be  construed  as an  indication  by the SEC or its
     staff that any violations of law have occurred.

     The Company  does not believe it is  feasible to predict or  determine  the
     final outcome or resolution of these proceedings or to estimate the amounts
     or  potential  range  of  loss  with  respect  to  these   proceedings  and
     investigations.  In addition,  the timing of the final  resolution of these
     proceedings  and  investigations  is  uncertain.  The possible  outcomes or
     resolutions  of  these   proceedings  and   investigations   could  include
     judgements against the Company or settlements and could require substantial
     payments by the Company.  However,  the Company does not expect the outcome
     from these proceedings to have any material adverse impact on the Plan. The
     aforementioned  matters resulted in a significant  decline in the per share
     price of the Company  common stock and a  corresponding  diminution  of the
     Cendant Corporation common stock fund. At December 31, 1997 the closing per
     share price of Company  common  stock was  $34.375  compared to $ 19.125 at
     December 31, 1998.

     Termination of Proposed Acquisitions
     During 1998, the Company  terminated the pending  acquisitions  of American
     Bankers Insurance Group,  Inc., Royal Automobile Club Motoring Services and
     Providian Auto and Home Insurance Company.

7.   INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES

     The Cendant  Stable Value Fund primarily  invested in investment  contracts
     providing a guaranteed  return on principal  invested over a specified time
     period. Thereafter,  contributions to such fund are invested in the Merrill
     Lynch  Retirement  Preservation  Trust.  The  crediting  interest  rates at
     December 31, 1998 for various investment contracts ranged from 5.6% to 7.7%
     and the average  yields of the Cendant  Stable  Value Fund for the 1998 and
     1997 plan years were 6.2% and 6.0%, respectively.  All investment contracts
     in the  Cendant  Stable  Value  Fund are fully  benefit-responsive  and are
     recorded at contract value,  which equals principal plus accrued  interest.
     The Cendant Stable Value Fund at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $40,344,312
     and $9,164,634, respectively, which approximated the fair value.

8.   PARTY-IN-INTEREST

     A portion of the Plan's investments are shares in a fund managed by Merrill
     Lynch (see Note 3). Merrill Lynch is the custodian of these  investments as
     defined  by  the  Plan  and,  therefore,   these  transactions  qualify  as
     party-in-interest transactions.

9.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Divestiture
     On May 22, 1999, the Company,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  PHH,
     executed an agreement with ARAC pursuant to which ARAC will acquire the net
     assets of the Company's Fleet management  segment for consideration of $1.8
     billion.  The transaction is subject to customary  regulatory approvals and
     is  expected  to close on or about June 30,  1999.  The Company has not yet
     determined  what  impact the  disposition of its Fleet  management  segment
     will have on the Plan assets.

     Business Combinations
     In January 1998, the Company  completed the  acquisition of Jackson Hewitt,
     Inc.  ("Jackson  Hewitt").  Jackson Hewitt  operates the second largest tax
     preparation service franchise system in the United States.

     In April 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Credentials
     Services  International,  Inc. ("CSI"). CSI is a service which provides
     members with access to their personal credit information.

     Plan transfers
     During 1999, in connection with companies  previously  acquired by Cendant,
     the Company  completed  the transfer of assets from the  existing  plans of
     such acquired companies,  including Electronic Realty Associates,  Inc. and
     CSI.  In  addition,  during  1999,  the  accumulated  plan  benefits of the
     reservation  center employees of Avis, Inc. were transferred into the Plan.
     The  resulting  plan  transfers  accounted  for plan assets of $8.6 million
     being merged into the Plan.

     The Company  expects to merge other existing  qualified plans into the Plan
     during 1999, including the plan assets of the Jackson Hewitt 401(k) Plan.
