                                 Statement of

                           LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION

       Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

                                in respect of

                              Cendant Corporation

Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D

         Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Liberty" or the
"Reporting Person"), hereby amends and supplements its Statement on Schedule 13D
as originally filed by Liberty on February 18, 2000 (the "Original Statement"),
with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of
Cendant Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Unless otherwise
indicated herein, each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the
meaning assigned thereto in the Original Statement.

Item 1.         Security and Issuer.

         Item 1 of the Original Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by
adding the following information thereto:

         According to reports filed by the Issuer with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in March 2000 the Issuer reclassified its
Common Stock into shares of "CD common stock" and "move.com common stock." The
move.com common stock is intended to track the performance of the Issuer's new
"Move.com Group." The Issuer's previously existing common stock was reclassified
as CD common stock, and is intended to track the performance of the Issuer's
businesses that are not included in the Move.com Group and a retained interest
in the Move.com Group. All of the shares beneficially owned by Liberty to which
this Schedule 13D relates are CD common stock, and all references to "Common
Stock" herein and, as to periods subsequent to such reclassification, in the
Original Statement are to shares of the Issuer's CD common stock.

                              Page 3 of 10 Pages
<PAGE>

Item 2.       Identity and Background.

     Item 2 of the Original Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by
adding the following information thereto:

     The reporting person is Liberty Media Corporation whose principal business
address is 9197 South Peoria Street, Englewood, Colorado 80112.

     Following the AT&T Merger, AT&T transferred from the AT&T Common Stock
Group to a new "AT&T Wireless Group" AT&T's wireless operations and assets. The
AT&T Common Stock Group now consists of all of the assets and businesses of AT&T
other than those included in the Liberty Media Group and the AT&T Wireless
Group.

     On March 10, 2000, in connection with certain restructuring transactions,
TCI was converted into a Delaware limited liability company, of which AT&T is
the sole member, and renamed AT&T Broadband, LLC ("AT&T Broadband"). AT&T
Broadband's principal business address is 9197 South Peoria Street, Englewood,
Colorado 80112. AT&T Broadband is principally engaged through its subsidiaries
and affiliates in the acquisition, development and operation of cable television
systems throughout the United States.

Item 3.       Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         Item 3 of the Original Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by
adding the following three paragraphs at the end thereof:

         On November 16, 2000, Liberty CNDT entered into a Purchase Agreement
(the "Cash/Stock Purchase Agreement") with the Issuer pursuant to which Liberty
CNDT purchased 4,051,864 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer for cash
consideration of $50 million. Also on November 16, 2000, Liberty CNDT entered
into a separate Purchase Agreement (the "Warrant/Stock Purchase Agreement") with
the Issuer and Cendant Stock Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("Cendant Stock"). Pursuant to the Warrant/Stock
Purchase Agreement, Liberty CNDT surrendered to Cendant Stock the Warrant
acquired by Liberty on February 7, 2000 pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement
in exchange for 2,346,515 shares of Common Stock. The Warrant had entitled the
holder to purchase up to 28,956,000 shares of Cendant Common Stock at an
exercise price of $23.00 per share. The foregoing summary of the terms of the
Cash/Stock Purchase Agreement and the Warrant/Stock Purchase Agreement are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of those agreements,
which are included as Exhibit 7(e) and Exhibit 7(f) to this Statement,
respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference thereto.

         Also on November 16, 2000, Liberty purchased an additional 19,800,000
shares of Common Stock from Lehman Brothers, Inc. ("Lehman") for $206,662,500
cash. At the same time, Liberty sold a call to, and purchased a put from, Lehman
Brothers Finance S.A. ("Lehman Finance"), an affiliate of Lehman, with respect
to an identical notional number of shares of Common Stock (the "Collar").
Liberty presently intends to settle its obligations to Lehman Finance under the
Collar through physical delivery of shares of Common Stock. The put and call
each have strike prices of $10.4375 per share, and each has an expiration date
of May 17, 2001. Liberty's obligations under the Collar are secured by a pledge
of the 19,800,000 shares of Common Stock that it acquired from Lehman. Prior to
an event of default with respect to the pledge, Liberty has sole voting power
with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the pledge.

         Of the cash consideration paid by Liberty and Liberty CNDT pursuant to
the foregoing transactions, $250,000,000 was borrowed by Liberty pursuant to
pre-existing bid lines with commercial banks and the remaining $6,662,500 was
obtained from Liberty's cash reserves. Liberty's borrowings were made with the
following commercial banks:

                           Commercial Bank                 Amount of Borrowing

              Credit Lynonnais, New York Branch          $125,000,000.00

              The Toronto-Dominion Bank                  $ 25,000,000.00
                                                         ---------------

                                                         $250,000,000.00
                                                         ===============


Item 4.       Purpose of Transaction.

         Item 4 of the Original Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by
adding the following information thereto:

         The Reporting Person continues to hold its interest in the Issuer for
investment purposes. In addition, the 19,800,000 shares of Common Stock
purchased by Liberty from Lehman were acquired for the purpose of entering into
the Collar with Lehman Finance. Liberty intends to physically settle its
obligations to Lehman Finance under the Collar with shares of Common Stock when
the Collar expires on May 17, 2001.

         Dr. John C. Malone, the Chairman of the Reporting Person, is a member

owns 1,000 shares of Common Stock and has written call options on an equal
number of shares of Common Stock at a strike price of $17.50 per share, expiring
January 20, 2001.

         Except as described above and in the Original Statement, to the
knowledge of the Reporting Person, none of the Schedule 1 Persons and none of
the Schedule 2 Persons beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

                              Page 5 of 10 Pages

         (c)  Dr. Malone received 922 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer on
October 4, 2000, pursuant to the non-employee director annual retainer
arrangement described above. Except for the shares received by Dr. Malone, and
the acquisitions and dispositions described in Item 3 above, no transactions in

knowledge of the Reporting Person, by any of the Schedule 1 Persons or Schedule
2 Persons during the past 60 days.

         (d)  None.

         (e)  Not applicable.

Item 6.       Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
