PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1) Merger with HFS Incorporated
Pursuant to a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") by and among PHH
Corporation (the "Company"), HFS Incorporated ("HFS") and Mercury
Acquisition Corp. ("Mercury"), a wholly owned subsidiary of HFS, effective
April 30, 1997, Mercury was merged into the Company, with the Company being
the surviving corporation, and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary
of HFS (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, all outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock, including shares issued to holders of
the Company's employee stock options, were converted into approximately
30.3 million shares of HFS common stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
the number of HFS shares issued to complete the Merger was determined by
multiplying the outstanding shares of the Company as of April 30, 1997 by
the conversion number of 0.825, calculated in accordance with the terms of
the Merger Agreement plus 0.7 million shares of HFS common stock issued in
exchange for outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock. The 30.3 million shares of HFS common stock issued to shareholders
and option holders of the Company represented 19.2% of the total
outstanding shares of HFS at April 30, 1997.
Under the change in control provisions of certain grantor trusts
established in connection with the Company's Senior Executive Severance
Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the PHH Excess Benefits
Plan (collectively, the "Plans"), the Company was required to fund the
trusts for the present value of amounts expected to be paid under the
Plans, a portion of which was due and paid on April 30, 1997. The funded
amounts of the grantor trusts are shown as restricted cash in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
2) Change in Fiscal Year
On April 30, 1997, the Company's fiscal year was changed from
April 30 to December 31, and, accordingly, the Company
filed its transition report on Form 10-K for the eight-month period ended
December 31, 1996. The Company's next full year will be for the period
January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997. Accordingly, this report covers the
three-month and the six-month results for the Company as of and
for the period ended June 30, 1997.
3) Merger with HFS Relocation Business
In June 1997, HFS merged its Coldwell Banker Relocation Services, Inc.
("CBRS") and Worldwide Relocation Management, Inc. ("WRM") relocation
businesses into the Company. The transaction has been accounted for at
historical cost with the operations of CBRS and WRM included from April 30,
1997, the date in which common control was established.

4) Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements included in this Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. There were
no adjustments of an unusual nature recorded during the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 except for a one-time merger and
restructuring charge of $235.3 million before tax, $182.7 million after tax
(see note 6). The results of operations for the periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes included in the Company's financial statements included as part
of the transition report on Form 10-K for the eight-month period ended
December 31, 1996.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company's consolidated
financial statements to conform with the presentation utilized by its
parent company.
5) New Accounting Pronouncements
In 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The
statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and, among other things, SFAS No. 125 also
requires that previously recognized servicing receivables that exceed
contractually specified servicing fees shall be reclassified as
interest-only strips receivable, and subsequently measured under the
provisions of SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 125 on
January 1, 1997 and has reclassified a portion of its excess servicing fees
to interest-only strips. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 125 was not
material to the Company's operations or financial condition.
6) Merger and Restructuring Charge
In connection with the above-referenced mergers, the Company recorded a
one-time merger and restructuring charge during the second quarter of 1997
of $235.3 million ($182.7 million after tax). The charge includes
severance, facility and system consolidations and terminations, costs
associated with exiting certain activities, and other merger-related costs
associated with the restructuring of the Company's businesses. The cost
will be partially funded with a capital infusion of $136.0 million from
the Company's parent, HFS.
7) Pro-forma Information (Unaudited)
The following information reflects pro-forma statements of income data for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 assuming
the merger with CBRS and WRM occurred January 1, 1996.

Item 2. Management's Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three month and Six month periods Ended June 30, 1997 versus June 30, 1996
All comparisons within the following discussion are to the same period of the
previous year, unless otherwise stated.
In June 1997, HFS merged its Coldwell Banker Relocation Services, Inc. ("CBRS")
and Worldwide Relocation Management, Inc. ("WRM") relocation businesses into the
Company. The transaction has been accounted for at historical cost with the
operations of CBRS and WRM included from April 30, 1997, the date in which
common control was established. Accordingly, the earnings of the HFS relocation
businesses of $9.1 million before tax and $5.4 million after-tax for the
two-months ended June 30, 1997 are included in the second quarter and six-month
results.
In connection with the HFS merger on April 30, 1997 and the
above-referenced mergers, the Company recorded a one-time merger and
restructuring charge during the second quarter of 1997 of $235.3 million ($182.7
million after tax). The charge includes severance, facility and system
consolidations and terminations, cost associated with exiting certain
activities, and other merger-related costs associated with the restructuring of
the PHH businesses. The cost was partially funded with a capital infusion of
$136.0 million from the Company's parent, HFS Incorporated.
Prior to recognition of the above two merger-related events, income before
tax would have increased to $57.2 million and $111.9 million in the quarter and
the six-month periods respectively, and net income would have increased to $33.3
million and $65.5 million in the quarter and the six month periods,
respectively, reflecting increases from each segment of the business.
Net revenues increased 21 percent to $203.3 million in the three-month period
ended June 30, 1997. Fleet management services net revenues increased one
percent in the three-month period primarily due to increases in fuel management
programs and vehicle maintenance programs. The fees received from domestic card
service programs are reported net of expenses in 1997 due to the joint venture
transaction which occurred in January 1997. Otherwise, net revenue from fleet
management services would have reflected an increase of 10 percent in the
three-month period. Relocation Services net revenue increased 35 percent in the
three-month period ended June 30, 1997. Relocation services net revenue in 1997
includes the results from CBRS and WRM for the two-month period ended June 30,
1997. Relocation services net revenue otherwise would have increased 3 percent
primarily due to a 1 percent increase in homes closed, increased
broker-to-broker referrals and improvements in other fee-based services.
Mortgage services net revenues increased 21 percent in the three-month period
ended June 30, 1997, primarily due to a 6 percent increase in loans sold and
increased margins. Additionally, the three-month results include a gain on the
sale of mortgage servicing rights of $2.7 million. Net leasing revenue increased
in the three-month period primarily due to a 5 percent increase in the number of
vehicles under management.
Net revenues increased 17 percent to $378.5 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1997. Fleet management services net revenues increased 8 percent
primarily due to increases mentioned above as well as the effects of the gain on
sale of the domestic card service business recorded in January 1997. Relocation
services net revenue increased 17 percent in the six-month period due to the
effects of the CBRS and WRM merger. Relocation services net revenue would have
approximated that of the prior year omitting the effect of the merged entities
primarily resulting from a 4 percent decrease in homes closed offset by
increases in other fee-based services. Mortgage services net revenue increased
19 percent in the six-month period primarily due to increased margins offset
somewhat by a 5 percent decrease in loans sold. Additionally, the six-month
results include a gain on the sale of mortgage servicing rights of $10.2
million. Net leasing revenue increased in the six-month period primarily due to
a 5 percent increase in the number of vehicles under management.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations (Cont.)
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Operating expense declined in the three-month period while increasing in the
six-month period primarily due to fluctuations in mortgage services operating
expenses. Excluding the effects of CBRS and WRM, general and administrative
expense in both the three-month and the six-month periods declined. The decrease
results from reduced staffing in both fleet management and relocation services
and, to a greater extent within relocation services, spending for system
improvements. Depreciation and amortization expense declined in both the
three-month period and six-month period primarily due to reduced amortization
expense associated with capitalized software costs.
Prior to the recognition of the two merger-related events, the Company's
effective tax rate was 41.7% in the second quarter of 1997 versus 41.9% in the
prior year and was 41.5% in the six-month period of 1997 compared to 41.1% in
the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company manages its funding sources to ensure adequate liquidity.
The sources of liquidity fall into three general areas: ongoing liquidation of
assets under management, global capital markets, and committed credit agreements
with various high-quality domestic and international banks. In the ordinary
course of business, the liquidation of assets under management programs, as well
as cash flows generated from operating activities, provide the cash flow
necessary for the repayment of existing liabilities. For the six months ended
June 30, 1997 cash provided by operating activities increased to $912.3 million
primarily due to timing of operating activities, including a $427.7 million
decrease in mortgage loans held for sale in 1997 compared with a $351.7 million
increase in 1996, and increased depreciation on vehicles under operating leases.
Cash used in investing activities increased to $639.5 million in 1997 primarily
as a result of an increase in the repayment of investments in leases and leased
vehicles and proceeds received from sales of mortgage servicing rights during
the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared with the same period in the prior
year.
Using historical information, the Company projects the time period that a
client's vehicle will be in service or the length of time that a home will be
held in inventory before being sold on behalf of a client. Once the relevant
asset characteristics are projected, the Company generally matches the projected
dollar amount, interest rate and maturity characteristics of the assets within
the overall funding program. This is accomplished through stated debt terms or
effectively modifying such terms through other instruments, primarily interest
rate swap agreements and revolving credit agreements. Within mortgage banking
services, the company funds the mortgage loans on a short-term basis until sale
to unrelated investors which generally occurs within sixty days. Interest rate
risk on mortgages originated for sale is managed through the use of forward
delivery contracts, financial futures and options. Such financial derivatives
are also used as a hedge to minimize earnings volatility as it relates to
mortgage servicing assets.
The Company has maintained broad access to global capital markets by maintaining
the quality of its assets under management. This is achieved by establishing
credit standards to minimize credit risk and the potential for losses. Depending
upon asset growth and financial market conditions, the Company utilizes the
United States, Euro and Canadian commercial paper markets, as well as other
cost-effective short-term instruments. In addition, the Company utilizes the
public and private debt markets to issue unsecured senior corporate debt.
Augmenting these sources, the Company has reduced outstanding debt by the sale
or transfer of managed assets to third parties while retaining fee-related
servicing responsibility. The Company's aggregate commercial paper outstanding
totaled $3.5 billion at both June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. At June 30,
1997, $1.2 billion in medium-term notes and $0.3 billion in other debt
securities were outstanding compared to $1.7 billion and $0.3 billion,
respectively, at December 31, 1996. The Company maintains a leverage ratio under
8 to 1.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations (Cont.)
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Cash used in financing activities decreased to $292.0 million primarily as a
result of a decrease in borrowings with terms of less than 90 days as well as a
reduction in other borrowings. From a risk management standpoint, borrowings not
in the local currency of the business unit are converted to the local currency
through the use of foreign currency forward contracts.
To provide additional financial flexibility, the Company's current policy
is to ensure that minimum committed bank facilities aggregate 80 percent of the
average amount of outstanding commercial paper. The Company has $2.5 billion in
committed and unsecured credit facilities. These facilities are backed by 22
domestic and foreign banks and are comprised of $1.25 billion of lines maturing
in 364 days or less and $1.25 billion maturing in five years. In addition, the
Company has approximately $300 million of uncommitted lines of credit with
various financial institutions. Management closely evaluates not only the credit
quality of the banks but the terms of the various agreements to ensure ongoing
availability. The full amount of the Company's committed facilities at June 30,
1997, was undrawn and available. Management believes that its current policy
provides adequate protection should volatility in the financial markets limit
the Company's access to commercial paper or medium-term note funding.
The Company and HFS currently operate under policies limiting (a) the payment of
dividends on the Company's capital stock to 40% of its net income on an annual
basis, less the outstanding principal balance of loans from the Company to HFS
as of the date of any proposed dividend payment, and (b) the outstanding
principal balance of loans from the Company to HFS to 40% of its net income on
an annual basis, less payment of dividends on the Company's capital stock during
such year.
These established means of effectively matching floating and fixed interest rate
and maturity characteristics of funding to related assets, the variety of short-
and long-term domestic and international funding sources, and the committed
banking facilities minimize the Company's exposure to interest rate and
liquidity risk.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." the statement
'provides accounting and reporting standands for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and, among other things, SFAS No. 125 also requires that
previously recognized servicing receivables that exceed contractually specified
servicing fees shall be reclassified as interest-only strips receivable, and
subsequently measured under the provisions of SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for
Certain Investements in Debt and Equity Securities." The Company will adopt the
provisions of SFAS No. 125 on January 1, 1997 and will reclasssify a portion of
its excess servicing fees to interest-only strips. The effect of adopting SFAS
No. 125 is not expected to be material to the Company's operations or financial
condition.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", which requires preparation of a new basic financial statement which
considers the impact of certain economic events that have heretofore been
reflected as adjustments to stockholders' equity but have not impacted reported
earnings on the consolidated statements of operations. Comprehensiv income per
share is not required to be shown o the new statement. SFAS 130 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company plans to adopt the
provision of SFAS 130 on January 1, 1998.
Upon adoption of SFAS 130, the Company will classify other comprehensive
income separately into foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized
gains and losses on securities and minimum pension liability adjustments.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", which requires companies to report
information about the operating segments on interim reports issued to
shareholders. SFAS 131 also established standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS 131 is
effective for fiscal years beinggin after December 15, 1997. The Company plans
to adopt the disclosure requirements of SFAS 131 on December 31, 1998.
