INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Trustees and Participants of
Cendant Membership Services, Inc. Savings Incentive Plan
Parsippany, New Jersey 07054

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Cendant Membership Services,  Inc. Savings Incentive 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 audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  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 audits provide 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 audits  were  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 MEMBERSHIP SERVICES, INC.
SAVINGS INCENTIVE PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

      The following description of the Cendant Membership Services, Inc. Savings
      Incentive  Plan (the "Plan"),  formerly the Savings  Incentive Plan of CUC
      International   Inc.   ("CUC"),   provides   only   general   information.
      Participants  should  refer to the Summary  Plan  Description  or the Plan
      documents, which are available from Cendant Membership Services, Inc. (the
      "Company" or the "Plan  Sponsor"),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Cendant
      Corporation  ("Cendant"),  for a more complete  description  of the Plan's
      provisions.  In December 1997, HFS  Incorporated  merged with and into CUC
      (the  "Cendant  Merger")  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 a  defined  contribution  plan  which  provides  retirement,
      disability and death benefits to eligible employees of the Company and its
      subsidiaries.  The  Plan is  subject  to the  provisions  of the  Employee
      Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  The Plan  was amended
      various  times  during  1998  and  1997 to  allow  for  existing  plans of
      companies  acquired  by the  Company  to be  combined  into the Plan  (See
      "Rollovers").

      The following is a summary of certain Plan provisions:

      a.   Eligibility - The Plan covers  substantially all full-time  employees
           and certain part-time employees of the  Company and certain of its
           subsidiaries who have been  employed  for at least six months and are
           age twenty-one or older.

      b.   Employee  contributions  -  Participants  may  elect to make  pre-tax
           contributions   of  up  to  fifteen   percent   of   pre-tax   annual
           compensation,  up to a maximum  of  $10,000  and  $9,500 for 1998 and
           1997,  respectively.  Plan  participants  may change  their  deferral
           elections under the Plan on a monthly basis.

      c.   Employer  contributions  - The  Company  matches  each  participant's
           bi-weekly  contribution dollar for dollar of the first $27.69,  $0.60
           for each dollar of the next $36.93,  and $0.40 for each dollar of the
           next $27.69 up to a maximum of 6% of pre-tax annual compensation,  as
           defined  in the  Plan,  for a  total  maximum  match  of  $60.92  per
           bi-weekly  pay  period.

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

           Plan  assets  associated  with  the  qualified  plans  of  companies
           previously  acquired  by  the  Company, prior  to the Cendant Merger,
           including Davidson and Associates, Inc., Ideon  Group, Inc. and North
           American Outdoor Group,  were transferred into the Plan. Accordingly,
           $9.5 million  and $7.6  million of  assets  were merged into the Plan
           during 1998 and 1997, respectively and  are included in Contributions
           From - Rollovers in the statements of changes in net assets available
           for  benefits  for  the  years  ended  December 31, 1998 and 1997. In
           addition, effective January 1, 1998,  the profit sharing plan of NUMA
           Corporation,  a company previously acquired by the Company, was term-
           inated and NUMA Corporation  employees had the option of rolling over
           their plan assets as of such date.

      e.   Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their  contributions
           plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company matching portion
           of their accounts (plus actual earnings thereon) is based on years of
           credited service as follows:

                             Years of Credited Service        Percentage Vesting

                                    Less than one                          0%
                                    1 but less than 2                     20%
                                    2 but less than 3                     40%
                                    3 but less than 4                     60%
                                    4 but less than 5                     80%
                                    5 or more                            100%

      f.   Termination - Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do
           so, the Company  reserves the right under the Plan to discontinue its
           contributions and to modify,  suspend, amend or terminate the Plan in
           whole or in part at any time subject to the  provisions of ERISA.  In
           the event of Plan termination,  participants will become fully vested
           and will  receive  lump-sum  distributions  in an amount equal to the
           value of their accounts.

      g.   Loan Provision - Participants  may borrow from their fund accounts up
           to the lesser of $50,000 or fifty  percent of their  vested  balance.
           Loan terms range from 1-5 years and are secured by the balance in the
           participant's account. The loans bear interest at a rate commensurate
           with prime rate plus one percent. Interest rates on outstanding loans
           as of  December  31, 1998  ranged  from 7.64% to 11%.  Principal  and
           interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions.

      h.   Participant Accounts -Each participant's account is credited with the
           participant's  contributions   and   allocations   of  the  Company's
           contributions and Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant
           earnings  or  account  balances  as  defined.  Forfeited  balances of
           terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used at the
           discretion of the Plan  admistrative  committee,  either  to pay
           administrative expenses of the plan or to reduce future Company
           contributions. During the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
           forfeited account balances amounted to $361,000 and $220,000.

      i.   Benefits Paid to  Participants - Upon  termination  of employment,  a
           participant  may receive a lump-sum  amount equal to the vested value
           of his or her account balance.  Distributions to terminated employees
           are recorded in each fund  when paid.  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 or, from certain accounts,
           for  financial hardship, as defined in the Plan, before that age.
           Amounts payable to participants who have  terminated participation in
           the  Plan were $620,817  and  $238,000 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.

           In December  1997,  the Company  disposed of Interval  International,
           Inc. ("Interval"),  a timeshare exchange business. In connection with
           the sale,  during 1998,  Plan assets of $7.5 million which related to
           Interval  employees were transferred from the Plan into the acquiring
           company's plan. Such distribution of Plan assets is included in
           Benefits Paid to Participants in the statement of changes in net
           assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      a.  Basis of  Presentation  - The  accompanying  financial  statements are
          prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.  All administrative costs
          of the Plan,  other  than costs  incurred to maintain the  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.  Investments traded on the over-the-counter  market for which no
          sale was  reported  on that date are valued at the average of the last
          reported  bid and ask  prices.  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 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.

      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.

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
      September  7,  1995.  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.
<PAGE>


6.    OTHER EVENTS

      Company litigation
      In  April  1998,   Cendant  publicly  announced  that  it  had  discovered
      accounting  irregularities  in the  former  business  units  of CUC.  Such
      discovery  prompted  investigations  into such  matters by Cendant and the
      Audit  Committee  of its Board of  Directors.  As a result of the findings
      from  the   investigations,   Cendant  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 Cendant's behalf and several individual  lawsuits
      have been filed in various  courts against  Cendant and other  defendants.
      The Court has ordered consolidation of many of the actions.

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

      Cendant 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
      judgments  against  Cendant or settlements  and could require  substantial
      payments by Cendant. 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  Cendant  common  stock  and a  corresponding  diminution  of the
      Cendant  Corporation  Common Stock Fund.  At December 31, 1997 the closing
      per share price of Cendant common stock was $34.375 compared to $19.125 at
      December 31, 1998.

      In  connection  with  the  aforementioned  matters,  it  has  come  to the
      attention of Cendant that certain former  fiduciaries of the Plan may have
      committed acts that constitute either  negligence in their  administration
      of the Plan or a breach of their fiduciary  duties.  The Company  believes
      that the safekeeping of Plan assets was not affected by such acts.

7.    PARTY-IN-INTEREST

      A portion  of the  Plan's  investments  are  shares in a fund  managed  by
      MetLife,  the MetLife Stock Market Index  Guarantee  Fund.  MetLife is the
      custodian  of these  investments  as defined  by the Plan and,  therefore,
      these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

8.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On  January  12,  1999,  Cendant  completed  the sale of its  wholly-owned
      consumer software business,  Cendant Software  Corporation  ("CDS").  Upon
      consummation,  Plan  participants  who were CDS  employees  were given the
      option to remain in the Plan or to withdraw their vested account balances.

      On April 21, 1999,  Cendant announced that the Board of Directors approved
      the plan to pursue the sale of Entertainment Publications,  Inc. ("EPub"),
      a wholly-owned subsidiary.  Cendant has not yet determined what impact the
      disposition of EPub will have on the Plan assets.
