PHH CORPORATION
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company provides a broad range of integrated management services,
expense management programs and mortgage banking services to more than 3,000
major clients, including many of the world's largest corporations, as well as
government agencies and affinity groups. Its primary business service segments
consist of vehicle management, real estate and mortgage banking. Information as
to revenues, operating income and identifiable assets by business segment and
geographic area is included in the Business Segments note in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately
5,700 employees.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
No customer purchased services totaling 10% or more of consolidated
revenues in 1996, 1995 or 1994.
VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Vehicle management services consist primarily of the management, purchase,
leasing and resale of vehicles for corporate clients and government agencies,
including fuel and expense management programs and other fee-based services for
clients' vehicle fleets.
FLEET MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The Company provides fully integrated vehicle management and leasing
programs through PHH Vehicle Management Services. These programs were developed
to meet the specific needs of companies using large and small numbers of cars
and trucks and consist of managerial, leasing and advisory services, aimed at
reducing and controlling the cost of operating corporate fleets.
The Company's advisory services for automobile fleet management programs
include recommendations on the makes and models of cars and accessories best
suited to the client's use, the determination of persons eligible for company
cars, the method of reimbursing field representatives for actual car expenses,
the care and maintenance of cars and the personal use of company cars.
Managerial services for automobile fleet programs include purchasing
automobiles, arranging for their delivery through new car dealers located
throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the Republic of
Ireland, as well as capabilities in Mexico and throughout Europe, complying
with various local registration, title, tax and insurance requirements,
pursuing warranty claims with automobile manufacturers and selling used cars at
replacement time.
The Company offers similar programs and services for vans and light and
heavy-duty truck fleets. Advisory services offered include the determination of
the vehicle specifications, makes, models and equipment best suited to perform
the functions required by the client. Managerial services include purchasing
new vans, light and heavy-duty trucks, trailers, truck bodies and equipment
from manufacturers and franchised dealers, the performance of title,
registration, tax and insurance functions, arranging for them to be titled,
licensed and delivered to locations designated by clients, verifying invoices
and selling used vehicles at replacement time.
The Company offers various leasing plans for its vehicle leasing programs.
Under these plans, the Company provides for the financing primarily through the
issuance of commercial paper and medium-term notes and through unsecured
borrowings under revolving credit agreements and bank lines of credit. See the
Liabilities Under Management Programs note in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Company leases vehicles for minimum lease terms of twelve months or
more under either direct financing or operating lease agreements. The Company's
experience indicates that the full term of the leases may vary considerably due
to extensions beyond the minimum lease term. Under the direct financing lease
agreements, resale of the vehicles upon termination of the lease is generally
for the account of the lessee. The Company has two distinct types of operating
leases. Under one type, the open-end operating lease, resale of the vehicles
upon termination of the lease is for the account of the lessee except for a
minimum residual value which the Company
1
<PAGE>
has guaranteed. The Company's experience has been that vehicles under this type
of lease agreement have consistently been sold for amounts exceeding residual
value guarantees. Under the other type of operating lease, the closed-end
operating lease, resale of the vehicle on termination of the lease is for the
account of the Company.
The Company's fleet management services may be the same whether the client
owns or leases the vehicles. In either case, the client generally operates the
vehicles on a net basis, paying all the actual costs incidental to their
operation, including gasoline, oil, repairs, tires, depreciation, vehicle
licenses, insurance and taxes. The fee charged by the Company for its services
is based upon either a percentage of the original cost of the vehicle or a
stated management fee and, in the case of a leasing client, includes the
interest cost incurred in financing the vehicle.
FUEL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
The Company offers fuel and expense management programs to corporations
and government agencies for the control of automotive business travel expenses
in each of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and
Germany, with capabilities in Mexico and throughout Europe. Through a service
card and billing service, a client's traveling representatives are able to
purchase various products and services such as gasoline, tires, batteries,
glass and maintenance services at numerous outlets. The Company also provides a
series of safety and accident management related programs, statistical control
reports detailing expenses related to the general operation of vehicles, and a
program which monitors and controls the type and cost of vehicle maintenance for
individual automobiles.
The Company also provides a fuel and expense management program and a
centralized billing service for companies operating truck fleets in the United
Kingdom, as well as in the United States, Republic of Ireland and Germany.
Drivers of the clients' trucks are furnished with courtesy cards together with
a directory listing the names of strategically located truck stops and service
stations which participate in this program. Service fees are earned for
billing, collection and record keeping services and for assuming credit risk.
These fees are paid by the truck stop or service stations and/or the fleet
operator and are based upon the total dollar amount of fuel purchased or the
number of transactions processed.
COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
The principal methods of competition within vehicle management services
are service quality and price.
In the United States and Canada, an estimated 30% of the market for
vehicle management services is served by third-party providers. There are 5
major providers of such services in North America, as well as an estimated
several hundred local and regional competitors. The Company is the second
largest provider of comprehensive vehicle management services in North America.
In the United Kingdom, the portion of the fuel card services and vehicle
management services markets served by third-party providers is an estimated 37%
and 45%, respectively. The Company is the market leader among the 4 major
nationwide providers of fuel card services, and the 6 major nationwide
providers of vehicle management services. Numerous local and regional
competitors serve each such market element.
The following sets forth certain statistics concerning automobiles, vans,
light, medium and heavy-duty trucks for which the Company provides managerial,
leasing and/or advisory services primarily in the United States, Canada, the
United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and Germany at the end of the fiscal
years shown:

REAL ESTATE SERVICES
The Company provides real estate services principally to large
international corporations, government agencies and financial institutions, and
to members of affinity groups in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom
and
2
<PAGE>
the Republic of Ireland through PHH Real Estate Services. The Company also has
capabilities in Mexico and throughout Europe. Principal services consist of
counseling transferred employees of clients and the purchase, management and
resale of their homes. The Company's real estate services offer clients the
opportunity to reduce employee relocation costs and facilitate employee
relocation.
The Company pays a transferring employee his/her equity in a home based
upon a value determined by independent appraisals or based on a contract to
sell which has been agreed with the employee. The employee's mortgage is
generally retired concurrently with the purchase of the equity; otherwise the
Company normally accepts the administrative responsibility for making payments
on any mortgages. Following payment to the employee, the corporate client
normally pays the Company an advance billing to cover costs to be incurred
during the period the home is held for resale, including debt service on any
existing mortgage. These costs are paid by the Company and, after ultimate
resale, a settlement is made with the corporate client reconciling the advance
billing and the expense payments. Under the terms of the client contracts, the
Company is generally protected against losses from changes in market conditions.
Funds to finance the purchase of homes are provided primarily through the
issuance of commercial paper and medium-term notes and through unsecured
borrowings under revolving credit agreements and bank lines of credit, or may
be provided by the client. Interest costs are billed directly to the Company's
clients. See the Liabilities Under Management Programs note in Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's real estate services subsidiaries also offer programs which
provide the planning and implementation for group moves of corporate clients,
home marketing assistance, property management, movement of household goods,
destination services and asset management for financial institutions.
COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
The principal methods of competition within real estate services are
service quality and price. In the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom,
an estimated 22% of the market for real estate services is served by
third-party providers.
In each of the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, there are 4
major national providers of such services. There are an estimated several dozen
local and regional competitors in each such country. The Company is the market
leader in the United States and Canada, and third in the United Kingdom.
The following sets forth certain statistics concerning real estate
services in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom for the fiscal
years shown:

MORTGAGE BANKING SERVICES
The Company provides U.S. residential mortgage banking services through
PHH Mortgage Services. These services consist of the origination, sale and
servicing of residential first mortgage loans. A variety of first mortgage
products are marketed to consumers through relationships with corporations,

telemarketing operation to allow the consumer to complete the entire
application process over the telephone. Utilizing local appraisers, title
companies and closing attorneys, the Company can effectively administer its
products and services anywhere in the nation.
The mortgage unit customarily sells all mortgages it originates to

individual loans, as mortgage-backed securities or as participation
certificates issued or guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association
(FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), or the Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA) while generally retaining mortgage
servicing rights. The guarantees provided by FNMA and FHLMC are on a
non-recourse basis to the Company. Guarantees provided by GNMA are to the
extent recoverable from certain government insurance programs.
Mortgage servicing consists of collecting loan payments, remitting
principal and interest payments to investors, holding escrow funds for payment
of mortgage-related expenses such as taxes and insurance, and otherwise
administering the Company's mortgage loan servicing portfolio.
COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All comparisons within the following discussion are to the previous year, unless
otherwise stated.
Consolidated net income increased 14% to $81.6 million in fiscal 1996 while net
income per share increased 12% to $2.33. Increased income in the mortgage
banking services and vehicle management services business segments were
partially offset by a decrease in the real estate services business segment. In
fiscal 1995, net income increased 11% to $71.7 million and net income per share
increased 14% to $2.08, reflecting increases in the vehicle management services
and real estate services business segments which were partially offset by a
decrease in the mortgage banking services business segment.
The Board of Directors, meeting on June 24, 1996, authorized a two-for-one
common stock split which will be distributed on July 31, 1996, and will apply
to stockholders of record on July 5, 1996. The shares outstanding and all
references to net income, dividends or stock price per common share in this
report reflect the two-for-one common stock split.
FISCAL 1996
Consolidated revenues increased 14% to $1.8 billion in 1996. Vehicle
management services revenues increased 9% to $1.4 billion primarily from
increased leasing revenues as a result of an increased number of and average
carrying amount of leased vehicles. Real estate services revenues increased
16% to $258.4 million primarily as a result of a 10% increase in transferee
homes sold, increased fees and commissions related to a 4% increase in the
average value of homes sold, and a 13% increase in the number of fee-based
transactions. Mortgage banking revenue increased 55% to $195.6 million
primarily from a 129% increase in loans closed and approximately $91
million associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 122, partially offset by a
significant decrease in sales of servicing rights.
Consolidated expenses increased 14% to $1.7 billion in 1996. Increased
depreciation on vehicles under operating leases and costs, including
interest, of carrying and reselling homes are primarily due to increases in
leased vehicles and transferee homes sold, respectively, as discussed above.
Direct costs of mortgage banking services increased 69% to $69.0 million
primarily due to a $17.6 million increase in amortization of servicing rights
and fees and costs associated with the 129% increase in loan closings.
Interest expense increased $50.8 million as a result of increases in
liabilities under management programs and other debt, and slightly higher
average cost of funds. Selling, general, and administrative costs increased
12% to $321.8 million as a result of increases in personnel and other
operating costs primarily to support increases in fee-based transactions as
well as increased systems costs in support of domestic asset management
operations. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in the North
American truck fuel management subsidiary (NTS) expenses as a result of its
sale, as well as the effects of the costs incurred in 1995 associated with
vehicle management services office space consolidation.
FISCAL 1995
Consolidated revenues decreased 4% to $1.6 billion in 1995. Vehicle
management services revenues increased 8% to $1.3 billion primarily from
increased leasing revenues as a result of an increased number of and average
carrying amount of leased vehicles. Real estate services revenues decreased
3% to $221.9 million primarily as a result of a 12% decrease in transferee
homes sold, partially offset by increased fees and commissions related to a
4% increase in the average value of homes sold, and a 12% increase in the
number of fee-based transactions. Mortgage banking revenue decreased 19%
to $126.1 million primarily from a 57% decrease in loans closed, partially
offset by $42.1 million in gains on sales of servicing rights.
Consolidated expenses increased 3% to $1.5 billion in 1995. Increases in
depreciation on vehicles under operating leases are primarily due to
increases in leased vehicles as discussed above. Costs, including
interest, of carrying and reselling homes decreased 14% primarily as a result
of the decrease in transferee homes sold as discussed above. Direct costs of
mortgage banking services decreased 28% to $40.9 million primarily due to a
57% decrease in loan closings and a $9.0 million decrease in amortization of
servicing rights and fees which resulted from $11.3 million in unscheduled
amortization of excess servicing fees in fiscal 1994 which reflected
higher-than-anticipated prepayments. Interest expense increased $34.5
million primarily as a result of increases in liabilities under management
programs and a substantial increase in the Company's cost of funds. Selling,
general, and administrative costs decreased 5% to $286.4 million primarily due
to decreases in vehicle management services technology costs, mortgage
banking services volume as well as productivity improvements and reduction of
volume in the real estate services segment.
Management analyzes its business results in terms of net revenue and total
operating expenses. Net revenue, as defined by the Company, includes revenue
earned reduced by direct costs and by related interest required to fund
assets. Direct costs include depreciation on vehicles under operating
leases, amortization of mortgage servicing rights and certain other costs
including payments to third parties incurred as a component of service
delivery. Operating expenses are all other costs incurred in delivering

==================================================================
Net revenues increased 14% to $592.7 million in fiscal 1996, and operating
income increased 15% to $139.1 million. Mortgage banking services and vehicle
management services achieved increases in both net revenue and operating income
while real estate services, which increased net revenues, experienced a decrease
in operating income. In fiscal 1995 net revenues decreased 4% to $518.3 million
while operating income increased 10% to $121.3 million due to increases in the
vehicle management and real estate business segments offset by a decline in the
mortgage banking segment. The following discussion is an analysis by business
segment for net revenues and operating income.
VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Vehicle management services are offered to corporate clients and
government agencies to assist them in effectively managing their vehicle fleet
costs, reducing in-house administrative costs and enhancing driver
productivity. Asset-based services generally require an investment by the
Company in the vehicle and include new vehicle purchasing, open- and
closed-end operating leasing, direct finance leasing and used vehicle
marketing. Fee-based services include maintenance management programs,
expense reporting, fuel management programs, accident and safety programs and
other driver services for managing clients' vehicle fleets.

Fiscal 1996 Results
Net revenues for vehicle management services represent revenues earned and
billed to clients reduced by depreciation on vehicles under operating leases and
related interest. Total net revenues for this segment increased 8% to $258.1
million. Net revenues derived from asset-based products decreased 3% to $131.3
million due primarily to the anticipated decline in the volume and gains on the
sale of vehicles under closed-end operating leases and the effect of interest
received from a US federal income tax refund in 1995 attributable to this
segment. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in management fees
per vehicle and the effect of increases in total vehicles under management.
Net revenues derived from fee-based services increased 9% to $115.1 million
in fiscal 1996. The increase was due to growth in fuel and maintenance
management programs reflecting increased market penetration in the US and UK,
and continued growth in accident management programs and other driver services
in North America and the UK. The increase was partially offset by the loss
of net revenues of the Company's North American truck fuel management
operation since its sale in February 1996. The sale of the Company's subsidiary
resulted in a net gain of $11.7 million, which is reflected in net revenues.
Vehicle management services operating income increased 16% to $64.5 million
in fiscal 1996. This was due to the increase in net revenues described above
which was partially offset by higher operating expenses. These increases
reflect costs incurred in support of the volume growth in fee-based services
partially offset by the decrease in the North American truck fuel management
subsidiary expenses as a result of its sale, as described above, and the
effects of the costs incurred in 1995 associated with office space
consolidation.

===============================================================
The Company's profitability from vehicle management services is affected by the
number of vehicles managed and related services provided for clients.
Therefore, profitability can be negatively affected by the general economy as
corporate clients exercise a higher degree of fiscal caution by decreasing
the size of their vehicle fleets or by extending the service period of
existing fleet vehicles. Conversely, operating results are positively affected
as clients increasingly choose to outsource their vehicle management
service operations to the Company and through further penetration of
fee-based services. Results can also be enhanced as the Company expands
into new markets, increases its product diversity, broadens its client base
and continues its productivity and quality improvement efforts.
Fiscal 1995 Results
Net revenues for this segment increased 2% to $240.1 million in fiscal
1995. Net revenues derived from asset-based products decreased 4% to $134.9
million due to a slight decrease in the number of leased vehicles under
management and reduction in revenues due to the benefit in the prior year of
certain vehicle manufacturer incentive programs. The decrease in net
revenues from asset-based products was somewhat offset by an increase in
management fees per vehicle resulting from a higher average cost of vehicles
managed, and the effect of interest received from a US federal income tax
refund attributable to this segment, as well as the results of a favorable US
and UK resale market for disposition of vehicles under closed-end operating
leases. Net revenues derived from fee-based services increased 11% to $105.2
million in fiscal 1995. The increase was due to growth in fuel management
programs reflecting increased market penetration in the US and UK, growth in
accident management programs, primarily in the UK, and growth in other
driver services in North America and the UK.
Vehicle management services operating income increased 20% to $55.7 million
in fiscal 1995. This was due to the increase in net revenues described above
as well as an overall reduction in operating expenses. Cost reductions were
achieved primarily in the area of information technology, slightly offset
by one-time costs associated with office space consolidation, other costs
incurred to integrate our US and Canadian operations and higher operating
expenses in support of volume growth in fee-based services.
REAL ESTATE SERVICES
Real estate services primarily consist of the purchase, management and
resale of homes for transferred employees of corporate clients, government
agencies and members of affinity group clients. Asset-based services are
defined as relocation services involving the purchase and resale of a home.
Fee-based services include assistance in selecting homes at destination
locations, marketing homes, moving household goods, property disposition
services to financial institutions and other consulting services.

===============================================================
Fiscal 1996 Results
Real estate services net revenues consist of revenues earned and billed to
clients reduced by direct costs paid on behalf of clients and related interest.
Total real estate services net revenues increased 8% to $204.9 million.
Asset-based net revenues increased 7% to $116.7 million primarily due to an
increase in the number of transferee homes sold in the US and UK, and the
product mix of homes sold compared to the prior year. Asset-based net
revenues also benefited from an increase in the average value of transferee
homes sold in the US. Fee-based net revenues increased 10% to $88.1 million
primarily due to increased levels of household goods moves in the US, home
finding services for relocating employees and affinity group members, and
increased referral fees from our network of brokers in the US and UK,
partially offset by a decrease in the volume of units managed in Canada.

Real estate services operating income decreased 10% to $31.8 million as a
13% increase in operating expenses more than offset the increase in net
revenues discussed above. The increase in operating expenses was related
to the increased volume growth in fee-based services and increases in
systems costs in our domestic asset management operations and in our Canadian
operations.

=========================================================
The Company is generally not at risk on its carrying value of homes should there
be a downturn in the housing market. Operating results may be negatively
affected should clients reassess their relocation plans as part of cost
control measures and authorize fewer home purchase transactions, utilizing a
greater portion of fee-based real estate services. At the same time, operating
results should be affected positively as clients increasingly choose to
outsource their real estate services to the Company and utilize a greater
portion of fee-based services and as the Company expands into new markets,
enhances its product diversity, broadens its client base and continues its
productivity and quality improvement efforts.
Fiscal 1995 Results
Real estate services net revenues increased 2% to $188.9 million in fiscal
1995. Asset-based net revenues decreased 6% to $108.9 million. The decrease
was primarily due to a reduction in margins reflecting a shift in product
mix to more diversified, lower-priced products in response to client demand
and to meet clients' changing relocation benefits offered to their transferring
employees, a reduction in the number of transferee homes sold, and a
lower level of funding provided to clients for equity advances. Asset-based
net revenues benefited from an increase in the average value of transferee
homes sold in the US. Fee-based net revenues increased 16% to $80.0 million
primarily due to increased levels of residential properties managed for
financial institutions, household goods moves and home finding services for
relocating employees and affinity group members.
Real estate services operating income increased 64% to $35.2 million. The
increase was due to improvements in net revenues described above and, to a
larger extent, to a 6% reduction in operating expenses resulting from
productivity improvements, a reduction in cost structure corresponding to the
changing product mix for relocation services on a global basis and a decrease in
costs associated with the integration of an acquisition in Canada in the prior
year.
MORTGAGE BANKING SERVICES
Mortgage banking services primarily consist of the origination, sale and
servicing of residential first mortgage loans. The Company markets a variety
of first mortgage products to consumers through relationships with
corporations, affinity groups, government agencies, financial institutions, real
estate brokerage firms and other mortgage banks.

Fiscal 1996 Results
Mortgage banking services net revenues, measured as revenues earned reduced by
direct costs for amortization and payments to third-party service providers
on behalf of clients, increased 45% to $129.7 million in fiscal 1996. The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122,
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," effective May 1, 1995. This
statement requires that originated mortgage servicing rights be recognized
as income when the loan is sold and servicing is retained. As a result, the
Company recognized originated servicing rights, net of related
amortization and valuation allowances, of $82.2 million in 1996, which is
included in net revenues earned from loan production. The effect of this
change in accounting was partially offset by a decrease in margins realized on
loans sold. This decline in margins reflects the competition in the
industry to capture the demand for mortgages created by the changes in
interest rates during 1996.
Mortgage loan closings increased from $3.4 billion to $7.9 billion in 1996.
Home purchase mortgage closings increased $2.3 billion to $5.4 billion in
1996 compared to $3.1 billion in 1995, while refinancing closings increased
$2.2 billion to $2.5 billion in 1996 from $.3 billion in 1995. These increases
resulted from the increased consumer demand discussed above and the Company's
increased market share due primarily to expanded relationships with
affinity groups which represented 29% of the total increase, and with
financial institutions which represented 24% of the total increase.
Servicing net revenue increased 13% as a result of an increase in the average
servicing portfolio partially offset by increased amortization of servicing
rights.
Mortgage banking services operating income increased 41% to $42.8 million.
The increase was due to higher net revenues associated with the capitalization
of originated mortgage servicing rights, which was $82.2 million as described
above. Such revenues were partially offset by a significant reduction in the
gain on sale of servicing rights of $38.7 million due to the decrease in sales
of the Company's servicing portfolio from $3.6 billion in 1995 to $295
million in 1996. In addition, operating expenses increased as the Company
responded to the increase in loan production volume and the increased servicing
portfolio.

PHH Corporation and Subsidiaries
The Company's profitability from mortgage banking services will be affected by
such external factors as the level of interest rates, the strength of the
economy, and the related condition of residential real estate markets. The
Company's broad-based marketing strategies, including further penetration of
existing affinity groups and financial institutions, signing new clients, and
maintaining its system of delivering mortgages in a cost-efficient manner,
should positively affect operating results in the future.
Fiscal 1995 Results
Mortgage banking services net revenues decreased 27% to $89.3 million in fiscal
1995 primarily due to the decline in production net revenue. The sharp increase
in mortgage rates greatly reduced refinance and home purchase loan activity
creating intense competition within the industry for remaining market share.
Such competition, accompanied by a consumer shift to adjustable rate mortgage
products, served to reduce margins. As the margins declined on production
volume, the Company responded to the market's increased demand for servicing
rights and sold $3.6 billion of its servicing portfolio at a gain of $42.1
million. Servicing fee revenue increased as a result of an increase in the
average servicing portfolio as well as the significantly reduced effect of
portfolio prepayments and payoffs which, in fiscal 1994, required unscheduled
amortization of $11.3 million of excess mortgage servicing fees.
Mortgage banking services operating income decreased 28% to $30.4 million in
fiscal 1995. The decrease was due to the decline in net revenues as
described above, significantly offset by a reduction in operating
expenses as the Company responded to the change in loan production volume.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
121, effective in 1997, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Application of this statement will
require the Company to review long-lived assets and certain intangibles for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. This statement is not
expected to significantly affect the consolidated financial statements of the
Company.
The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based employee
compensation plans. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized for
awards of shares of common stock to employees under compensatory plans only if
the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement
date, if later) is greater than the amount the employee must pay to acquire the
stock. In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." This statement permits companies to adopt a new fair
value-based method to account for stock-based employee compensation plans or to
continue using the intrinsic value method. If the intrinsic value method is
used, information concerning the pro forma effects on net income and net income
per share of adopting the fair value-based method is required to be presented in
the notes to the financial statements. The Company intends to continue using the
intrinsic value method and will provide disclosures about its stock-based
employee compensation plans in its 1997 financial statements, as required by
Statement No. 123.
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. (See Operating Activities
and Investing Activities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows.)
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. (See Liabilities Under
Management Programs in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) 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.
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 $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion
at April 30, 1996, and April 30, 1995, respectively. At April 30, 1996,
$2.1 billion in medium-term notes and $54 million in other debt securities
were outstanding compared to $1.4 billion and $153 million, respectively, in
fiscal 1995. (See Financing Activities in the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows.) 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. The Company
has maintained a leverage ratio between 7 to 1 and 8 to 1 over each of the last
three years.
To provide additional financial flexibility, the Company's current policy is to
ensure that minimum committed bank facilities aggregate 80% of the average
amount of outstanding commercial paper. Committed revolving credit
agreements totaling $2.4 billion and uncommitted lines of credit
aggregating $359 million are currently in place with 33 domestic and
international banks. Management closely evaluates not only the credit quality of
the banks but the maturity of the various agreements to ensure ongoing
availability. Of the Company's $2.4 billion in committed facilities at April 30,
1996, the full amount 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.
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.

PHH Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands except per share data)
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of PHH Corporation conform to generally accepted
accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of PHH Corporation and its wholly owned domestic and foreign
subsidiaries (the Company). Policies outlined below include all policies
considered significant. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingencies at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and
expenses recognized during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Vehicle management services primarily consist of the management, purchase,
leasing, and resale of vehicles for corporate clients and government agencies.
These services also include fuel, maintenance, safety and accident
management programs and other fee-based services for clients' vehicle
fleets. Revenues from these services other than leasing are taken into income
over the periods in which the services are provided and the related expenses are
incurred.
The Company leases vehicles primarily to corporate fleet users under operating
and direct financing lease arrangements. Open-end operating leases and
direct financing leases generally have a minimum lease term of 12 months with
monthly renewal options thereafter. Closed-end operating leases typically have
a longer term, usually 30 months or more, but are cancelable under certain
conditions. The Company records the cost of leased vehicles as an "investment
in leases and leased vehicles." Amounts charged to lessees for interest on
the unrecovered investment are credited to income on a level yield method
which approximates the contractual terms. Vehicles under operating leases
are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected lease term.
REAL ESTATE SERVICES
Real estate services primarily consist of the purchase, management and
resale of homes for transferred employees of corporations and government
agencies. The Company pays transferring employees their equity based on an
appraised value of their homes, determined by independent appraisers, after
deducting any outstanding mortgages. The Company normally retires the mortgage
concurrently with the purchase of the equity; but, in certain circumstances,
the Company accepts administrative responsibility for making payments on the
mortgages. These mortgages are retired at settlement when the homes are resold,
which generally is within six months.
Direct costs of managing the homes during the period the home is held for
resale, including property taxes, repairs, maintenance and continuing mortgage
payments, are generally borne by the client. Funds are normally advanced by the
client for a portion of these costs and are included in "advances from clients."
These costs are paid by the Company and are identified as "carrying costs on
homes under management" until resale. After resale, a settlement of actual costs
and the advance billing is made with the client.
Revenues and the related "costs, including interest, of carrying and reselling
homes" are recognized at closing on the resale of a home. Real estate services
revenue is shown net of costs reimbursed by client corporations.Under the terms
of contracts with clients, the Company is generally protected against losses
from changes in real estate market conditions.
The Company also offers fee-based programs such as home marketing assistance,
household goods moves, destination services, property dispositions for
financial institutions and government agencies and strategic management
consulting. Revenues from these fee-based services are taken into income
over the periods in which the services are provided and the related
expenses are incurred.
MORTGAGE BANKING SERVICES
Mortgage banking services primarily include the origination, sale and servicing
of residential first mortgage loans. The Company markets a variety of first
mortgage products to consumers through relationships with corporations, affinity
groups, financial institutions, real estate brokerage firms and other mortgage
banks. Loan origination fees, commitment fees paid in connection with the sale
of loans, and direct loan origination costs associated with loans held for
resale, are deferred until the loan is sold. Fees received for servicing loans
owned by investors are based on the difference between the weighted average
yield received on the mortgages and the amount paid to the investor, or on a
stipulated percentage of the outstanding monthly principal balance on such
loans. Servicing fees are credited to income when received. Costs associated
with loan servicing are charged to expense as incurred.
Sales of mortgage loans are generally recorded on the date a loan is delivered
to an investor. Sales of mortgage securities are recorded on the settlement
date. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based upon
the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the
related mortgage loans sold. Beginning in 1996, the carrying value of the
loans excludes the cost assigned to originated servicing rights. (See note for
mortgage servicing rights and fees). Such gains and losses are also increased
or decreased by the amount of deferred mortgage servicing fees recorded.
The Company acquires mortgage servicing rights and excess servicing fees by
originating or purchasing mortgage loans and selling those loans with
servicing retained, or it may purchase mortgage servicing rights separately.
The carrying value of mortgage servicing rights and excess servicing fees is
amortized over the estimated life of the related loan portfolio.
Gains or losses on the sale of mortgage servicing rights are recognized
when title and all risks and rewards have irrevocably passed to the buyer and
there are no significant unresolved contingencies.
The Company reviews the recoverability of excess servicing fees by discounting
anticipated future excess servicing cash flows at original discount rates
utilizing externally published prepayment rates. If the discounted value is
less than the recorded balance due to higher than expected prepayments, the
difference is recognized as a write-down in the consolidated statement of
income.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided by charges to
income over the estimated useful lives of such assets. Buildings are depreciated
using the straight-line method (25 to 50 years); building improvements, using
the straight-line method (10 to 20 years); equipment and leasehold improvements,
using either the double-declining balance or straight-line method (3 to 10
years); and externally developed software is capitalized and amortized using the
straight-line method (5 years). Expenditures for improvements that increase
value or that extend the life of the assets are capitalized; maintenance and
repairs are charged to operations. Gains or losses from retirements and
disposals of property and equipment are included in selling, general and
administrative expense.
Goodwill, Net
Goodwill, net represents the excess of cost over the net tangible and intangible
assets of businesses acquired net of accumulated amortization. It is being
amortized by the straight-line method over various periods up to 40 years and
such amortization is included in selling, general and administrative expense.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Assets under management programs are held subject to leases or other client
contracts. The effective interest rates and maturity characteristics of the
leases and other contracts are generally matched with the characteristics of
the overall funding program.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated at the
exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates; equity accounts are translated
at historical exchange rates. Revenues, expenses and cash flows are
translated at the average exchange rates for the periods presented.
Translation gains and losses are included in stockholders' equity
including, for years prior to 1991, transaction gains and losses resulting
from forward exchange contracts on foreign equity amounts net of income tax
effects. Gains and losses resulting from the change in exchange rates
realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are
substantially offset by gains and losses realized upon settlement of forward
exchange contracts. Therefore, the resulting net income effect of transaction
gains and losses in fiscal years 1994 through 1996 was not significant.
INTEREST
Interest expense consists of interest on debt incurred to fund working capital
requirements and to finance vehicle leasing activities, real estate services and
mortgage banking operations. Interest on borrowings used to finance equity
advances on homes is included in "costs, including interest, of carrying and
reselling homes" and was $29,119 in 1996, $21,102 in 1995, and $23,491 in 1994.
Total interest paid, including amounts within "costs, including interest, of
carrying and reselling homes," was $273,198 in 1996, $211,206 in 1995, and
$165,406 in 1994.
INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes includes deferred income taxes resulting from
items reported in different periods for income tax and financial statement
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected future tax
consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. The effects of changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. No
provision has been made for US income taxes on cumulative undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries since it is the present intention of management
to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely in foreign operations.
Undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries at April 30, 1996, were
approximately $105,000. The determination of unrecognized deferred US tax
liability for unremitted earnings is not practicable. However, it is estimated
that foreign withholding taxes of approximately $5,500 may be payable if such
earnings were remitted.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year and common stock equivalents
arising from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options under the
treasury stock method. The number of shares used in the calculations,
adjusted to reflect the two-for-one common stock split, (see note for
capital stock), were 35,074,920 for 1996, 34,505,686 for 1995, and 35,482,068
for 1994.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in derivatives trading or
market-making activities. Rather, derivative financial instruments such as
interest rate swaps are used by the Company principally in the management of
its interest rate exposures and foreign currency exposures on
intercompany borrowings. Additionally, the Company enters into forward
delivery contracts, financial futures programs and options to reduce the
risks of adverse price fluctuation with respect to both mortgage loans held
for sale and anticipated mortgage loan closings arising from commitments
issued.
Amounts to be paid or received under interest rate swap agreements are
accrued as interest rates change and are recognized over the life of the swap
agreements as an adjustment to interest expense. The fair value of the
swap agreements is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements
since they are accounted for as hedges. Market value gains and losses on the
Company's foreign currency transaction hedges are recognized in income and
substantially offset the foreign exchange gains and losses on the
underlying transactions. Market value gains and losses on positions used
as hedges in the mortgage banking services operations are deferred and
considered in the valuation of the lower of cost or market value of mortgage
loans held for sale.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial
statements for comparative purposes. Included in these reclassifications are
the effects of reducing real estate services revenue and "costs, including
interest, of carrying and reselling homes" for direct costs reimbursed by
client corporations. Such costs were $554,464 , $464,980 and $587,975 in 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," effective in
1997. Application of this statement will require the Company to review
long-lived assets and certain intangibles for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. This statement is not expected to significantly affect the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based employee
compensation plans. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized for
awards of shares of common stock to employees under compensatory plans only if
the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement
date, if later) is greater than the amount the employee must pay to acquire
the stock. In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." This statement permits companies to adopt a new
fair value-based method to account for stock-based employee compensation
plans or to continue using the intrinsic value method. If the intrinsic value
method is used, information concerning the pro forma effects on net income
and net income per share of adopting the fair value-based method is
required to be presented in the notes to the financial statements. The
Company intends to continue using the intrinsic value method and will provide
disclosures about its stock-based employee compensation plans in its 1997
financial statements, as required by Statement No. 123.
DIVESTITURE
In February 1996 the Company sold its North American truck fuel and management
operations resulting in a net gain of $11,688, which is reflected in vehicle
management services revenues.
MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage loans held for sale represent mortgage loans originated by the Company
and held pending sale to permanent investors. Such mortgage loans are recorded
at the lower of cost or market value as determined by outstanding commitments
from investors or current investor yield requirements calculated on the
aggregate loan basis. The valuation reserve was $15,035 and $9,140 at April 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company issues mortgage-backed certificates insured or guaranteed by the
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and other
private insurance agencies. The insurance provided by FNMA and FHLMC
18
<PAGE>
PHH Corporation and Subsidiaries
and other private insurance agencies are on a non-recourse basis to the Company.
However, the guarantee provided by GNMA is only to the extent recoverable from
insurance programs of the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans
Administration. The outstanding principal balance of mortgages backing GNMA
certificates issued by the Company aggregated approximately $2,483,000 and
$1,699,000 at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Additionally, the Company
sells mortgage loans as part of various mortgage-backed security programs
sponsored by FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA. Certain of these sales are subject to
recourse or indemnification provisions in the event of default by the
borrower. As of April 30, 1996, mortgage loans sold with recourse amounted
to $113,000. The Company believes adequate reserves are maintained to cover
all potential losses.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS AND FEES
Mortgage servicing rights and fees activity was as follows during 1996, 1995,
and 1994:

================================================================================
Excess servicing fees represent the present value of the differential between
the actual servicing fees and normal servicing fees which are capitalized at the
time loans are sold with servicing rights retained. During Fiscal 1994 the
Company experienced significant portfolio prepayments and payoffs, which
required the write-down of $11,316 of excess mortgage servicing fees. Purchased
servicing rights represent the cost of acquiring the rights to service mortgage
loans for others.
In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" (SFAS No. 122). This Statement
requires that mortgage servicing rights be recognized when a mortgage loan is
sold and servicing rights are retained. The Company adopted SFAS No. 122
effective May 1, 1995, and, accordingly, capitalized originated servicing
rights, net of amortization and valuation allowances, of $82,187 in 1996.
SFAS No. 122 requires that a portion of the cost of originating a mortgage
loan be allocated to the mortgage servicing rights based on the servicing
rights' fair value relative to the loan as a whole. To determine the fair value
of mortgage servicing rights, the Company uses market prices for comparable
mortgage servicing, when available, or alternatively uses a valuation model that
calculates the present value of future net servicing income using assumptions
that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income.
SFAS No. 122 also requires the impairment of originated and purchased servicing
rights to be measured based on the difference between the carrying amount and
current fair value of the servicing rights. In determining impairment, the
Company aggregates all mortgage servicing rights, excluding those capitalized
prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 122, and stratifies them based on the
predominant risk characteristic of interest rate band. For each risk
stratification, a valuation allowance is maintained for any excess of amortized
book value over the current fair value by a charge or credit to income.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 122 the Company reviewed the
recoverability of purchased servicing rights by discounting anticipated
future cash flows at appropriate discount rates, utilizing externally
published prepayment rates. If the recorded balance exceeded the discounted
anticipated future cash flows, the amortization of the purchased servicing
rights was accelerated on a prospective basis.

============================================================
Mortgage-related notes receivable are loans secured by residential real estate.
Residential properties held for resale are located primarily in the US and are
carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
NET INVESTMENT IN LEASES AND LEASED VEHICLES
The net investment in leases and leased vehicles at April 30 consisted of the
following:
1996 1995
- - -------------------------------------------------------
Vehicles under open-end
operating leases $2,519,731 $2,357,425
Vehicles under closed-end
operating leases 347,645 288,582
Direct financing leases 348,043 370,234
Accrued interest on leases 805 990
- - -------------------------------------------------------
$3,216,224 $3,017,231
=======================================================
The Company leases vehicles for initial periods of twelve months or more under
either operating or direct financing lease agreements. The Company's experience
indicates that the full term of the leases may vary considerably due to
extensions beyond the minimum lease term. Lessee repayments of investments in
leases and leased vehicles for 1996 and 1995 were $1,527,000 and $1,452,000,
respectively; and the ratio of such repayments to the average net investment in
leases and leased vehicles was 49% in 1996 and 50% in 1995.
The Company has two types of operating leases. Under one type, open-end
operating leases, resale of the vehicles upon termination of the lease is
generally for the account of the lessee except for a minimum residual value
which the Company has guaranteed. The Company's experience has been that
vehicles under this type of lease agreement have consistently been sold for
amounts exceeding the residual value guarantees. Maintenance and repairs of
vehicles under these agreements are the responsibility of the lessee.
The original cost and accumulated depreciation of vehicles under this type of
operating lease was $4,387,252 and $1,867,521, and $3,897,794 and $1,540,369 at
April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
19
<PAGE>
PHH Corporation and Subsidiaries
Under the other type of operating lease, closed-end operating leases,
resale of the vehicles on termination of the lease is for the account of the
Company. The lessee generally pays for or provides maintenance, vehicle
licenses and servicing. The original cost and accumulated depreciation of
vehicles under these agreements was $482,742 and $135,097, and $391,020 and
$102,438 at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company believes
adequate reserves are maintained in the event of loss on vehicle
disposition.
Under the direct financing lease agreements, resale of the vehicles upon
termination of the lease is generally for the account of the lessee.
Maintenance and repairs of these vehicles are the responsibility of the lessee.
Leasing revenues are included in revenues from vehicle management services.
Following is a summary of leasing revenues for years ended April 30:
1996 1995 1994
- - -------------------------------------------------------
Operating leases $1,111,812 $1,017,521 $939,297
Direct financing leases,
primarily interest 42,460 40,937 28,852
- - -------------------------------------------------------
$1,154,272 $1,058,458 $968,149
=======================================================
Other managed vehicles are subject to leases serviced by the Company for others,
and neither the vehicles nor the leases are included as assets of the Company.
The Company receives a fee under such agreements which covers or exceeds its
cost of servicing.
The Company has transferred existing managed vehicles and related leases to
unrelated investors and has retained servicing responsibility. Credit risk for
such agreements is retained by the Company to a maximum extent in one of two
forms: excess assets transferred, which were $10,088 and $8,389 at April 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively; or guarantees to a maximum extent of $21 and $907
at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. All such credit risk has been included
in the Company's consideration of related reserves. The outstanding balances
under such agreements aggregated $237,104 and $166,379 at April 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
Other managed vehicles with balances aggregating $109,200 and $118,000 at April
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, are included in a special purpose entity which
is not owned by the Company. This entity does not require consolidation as it
is not controlled by the Company and all risks and rewards rest with the owners.
Additionally, managed vehicles totaling $46,500 and $57,100 at April 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively, are owned by special purpose entities which
are owned by the Company. However, such assets and related liabilities
have been netted in the balance sheet since there is a two-party agreement
with determinable amounts, a legal right of setoff exists and the Company
exercises its right of setoff in settlement with client corporations.
EQUITY ADVANCES ON HOMES
Equity advances on homes represent advances paid to transferring employees
of clients for their equity based on appraised values of their homes.
OTHER DEBT
Other debt at April 30 consisted of the following:
1996 1995
- - -------------------------------------------------------

Medium-term note 100,000 100,000
- - -------------------------------------------------------
$903,442 $735,886
=======================================================
Commercial paper programs are more fully described in the note for Liabilities
Under Management Programs. The medium-term note represents an unsecured
obligation having a fixed interest rate of 6.5% with interest payable
semi-annually and a term of seven years payable in full in fiscal 2000.
INCOME TAXES
Provisions (credits) for income taxes for the years ended April 30 were

- - --------------------------------------------------------
$ 57,528 $ 49,656 $ 45,238
========================================================
Deferred income taxes are recorded based upon differences between the financial
statement and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and available tax credit
carryforwards. There was no valuation allowance relating to deferred tax assets.
Net deferred tax liabilities as of April 30 were comprised as follows:
1996 1995
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depreciation $(208,100) $(197,800)
Accrued liabilities and deferred income 47,500 41,900
Unamortized mortgage servicing rights (31,100) (2,500)
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$(191,700) $(158,400)
==============================================================================
The portions of the 1996 income tax liability and provision classified as
current and deferred are subject to final determination based on the actual 1996
income tax returns. The liability and provision amounts for 1995 have been
reclassified to reflect the final determination made in filing the 1995 income
tax returns.
The Company received net income tax refunds of $1,330 in 1996 and paid income
taxes of $26,049 in 1995 and $35,739 in 1994.
A summary of the differences between the statutory federal income tax rate
and the Company's effective income tax rate follows:
1996 1995 1994

The Company's US federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal
Revenue Service through April 30, 1993.
LIABILITIES UNDER MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Borrowings to fund assets under management programs are classified as
"liabilities under management programs" and, at April 30, consisted of the
following:
1996 1995

Commercial paper, all of which matures within 90 days, is supported by committed
revolving credit agreements described below and short-term lines of credit. The
weighted average interest rates on the Company's outstanding commercial paper
were 5.5% and 6.3% at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Medium-term notes represent unsecured loans which mature in 1997. The weighted
average interest rates on medium-term notes were 5.5% and 6.4% at April
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Limited recourse debt and secured notes payable on vehicles under lease
primarily consist of secured loans arranged for certain clients for their
convenience. The lenders hold a security interest in the lease payments and the
clients' leased vehicles. The debt and notes payable mature concurrently with
the related lease payments. The aggregate lease payments due from the lessees
exceed the loan repayment requirements. The weighted average interest rates on
secured debt were 5.2% and 6.4% at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company has unsecured committed credit agreements with various banks
totaling $2,377,000. These agreements have both fixed and evergreen maturities
ranging from June 13, 1996, to April 30, 1999. The evergreen revolving credit
agreements require a notice of termination of one to three years. Interest
rates under all revolvers are either at fixed rates or vary with the prime
rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate. Under these agreements, the Company
is obligated to pay annual commitment fees which were $2,471 and $2,904
in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company has other unused lines of
credit of $341,000 and $262,000 at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
with various banks.
Other unsecured debt, all of which matures in 1997, includes other borrowings
under short-term lines of credit and other bank facilities. The weighted
average interest rates on unsecured debt was 6.2% at both April 30, 1996
and 1995.
Although the period of service for a vehicle is at the lessee's option, and the
period a home is held for resale varies, management estimates, by using
historical information, the rate at which vehicles will be disposed and the rate
at which homes will be resold. These projections of estimated liquidations of
assets under management programs and the related estimated repayment of
liabilities under management programs as of April 30, 1996, as set forth in the
table below, indicate that the actual repayments of liabilities under management
programs will be different than required by contractual maturities.

STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company's employee stock option plan allows for options to be granted to key
employees for the purchase of common stock at prices not less than fair market
value on the date of grant. Either incentive stock options or non-statutory
stock options may be granted under the plans. The Company's Directors' stock
option plan allows for options to be granted to outside Directors of the Company
for the purchase of common stock at prices not less than fair market value on
the date of grant. Options become exercisable after one year from date of grant
on a vesting schedule provided by the plans, and expire ten years after the date
of the grant. Option transactions during 1996, 1995, and 1994 were as follows:

============================================================
* Reflects two-for-one common stock split declared on June 24, 1996, described
in the capital stock note.
In addition to outstanding options, at April 30, 1996, there were 2,543,402
shares of common stock reserved (adjusted for the two-for-one common stock
split), including 1,571,544 shares for issuance under future employee stock
option plan awards, 863,858 shares for future issuance under the employee
investment plan and 108,000 shares for future issuance under the Director's
stock option plan.
CAPITAL STOCK
On June 24, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one common stock
split, distributable July 31, 1996, to stockholders of record on July 5, 1996.
All per share amounts herein and data as to outstanding and exercisable common
stock options at April 30, 1996, have been adjusted for the common stock split.
On April 10, 1996, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right for each share of common stock outstanding on April 10, 1996.
This dividend is a continuation of the dividend which expired on April 10, 1996.
Each right entitles the holder to purchase 1/100th of a share of series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $88 (adjusted for the
two-for-one common stock split), subject to future adjustment. The rights become
exercisable in the event any party acquires or announces an offer to acquire 20%
or more of the Company's common stock. The rights expire April 10, 2006, and are
redeemable at $.025 (adjusted for the two-for-one common stock split) per right
prior to the time any party owns 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common
stock. In the event the Company enters into a consolidation or merger after the
time rights are exercisable, the rights provide that the holder will receive,
upon exercise of the right, shares of common stock of the surviving company
having a market value of twice the exercise price of the right. Until the
earlier of the time the rights become exercisable, are redeemed or expire, the
Company will issue one right with each new share of common stock issued. The
Company has designated 400,000 (adjusted for the two-for-one common stock split)
shares of the authorized preferred shares as series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock for issuance upon exercise of the rights.
PENSION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION AND SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all US employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The
Company's subsidiary located in the UK has a contributory defined benefit
pension plan, with participation at the employee's option. Under both the US and
UK plans, ben-

efits are based on an employee's years of credited service and a percentage of
final average compensation. The Company's policy for both plans is to contribute
amounts sufficient to meet the minimum requirements plus other amounts as the
Company deems appropriate from time to time. The Company also sponsors two
unfunded supplemental retirement plans to provide certain key executives
with benefits in excess of limits under the federal tax law and to include
annual incentive payments in benefit calculations.
Net costs included the following components for the years ended April 30:
1996 1995 1994
- - -------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost $ 5,038 $ 4,597 $ 4,604

===========================================================
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Company provides healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain retired
employees up to the age of 65. Such postretirement benefits costs for 1996, 1995
and 1994 were $1,523, $1,474 and $1,551, respectively. A summary of the plan's
status and the Company's recorded liability recognized in the consolidated
balance sheets at April 30 follows:
1996 1995
- - --------------------------------------------------------
Accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation:
Active employees $ 5,732 $ 5,574
Current retirees 1,743 1,785

========================================================
Net periodic postretirement benefit costs included the following components for
the year ended April 30,
1996 1995 1994
- - --------------------------------------------------------
Service cost $ 786 $ 661 $ 788
Interest cost 519 519 469
Net amortization and deferral 218 294 294
- - --------------------------------------------------------
$1,523 $1,474 $1,551
========================================================
Significant percentage assumptions used in determining the cost and obligations
under the postretirement benefit plan are as follows:
1996 1995 1994
- - ------------------------------------------------------------
Discount rate 8.00% 8.25% 8.25%
- - ------------------------------------------------------------
Health care costs trend rate
for subsequent year 10.00% 12.00% 12.00%
============================================================
The health care cost trend rate is assumed to decrease gradually through 2004
when the ultimate trend rate of 4.75% is reached. At April 30, 1996, a
one-percentage-point increase in the assumed health care cost trends rate for
each future year would increase the annual service and interest cost by
approximately $120 and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by
approximately $545.
INVESTMENT PLAN
Under provisions of the Company's employee investment plan, a qualified
retirement plan, eligible employees may generally have up to 10% of their base
salaries withheld and placed with an independent custodian and elect to
invest in common stock of the Company, an index equity fund, a growth equity
fund, an international equity fund, a fixed income fund, an asset allocation
fund and/or a money market fund. The Company's contributions vest
proportionately in accordance with an employee's years of vesting service, with
an employee being 100% vested after three years of vesting service. The
Company matches, in common stock of the Company, employee contributions to 3% of
their base salaries, with an additional 3% match available at the end of the
year based on the Company's operating results. The Company's additional matches
of employee contributions greater than 3% up to 6%, were 75% in 1996 and 50% in
1995 and 1994. The additional match, initially invested in a money market fund,
can be redirected by the employee into any of the investment elections noted
above. The Company's expenses for contributions were $4,810, $4,483, and $4,020
for the years ended April 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

LEASE COMMITMENTS
Total rental expenses relating to office facilities and equipment were $23,519,
$24,195, and $27,264 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Minimum rental
commitments under non-cancelable leases with remaining terms in excess of one
year are as follows:
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------
1997 $ 14,980 2001 $ 6,406
1998 $ 13,619 2001-2006 $ 13,071
1999 $ 10,395 2007 and thereafter $ 4,158
2000 $ 7,294
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------
These leases provide for additional rentals based on the lessors' increased
property taxes, maintenance and operating expenses.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in pending litigation of the usual
character incidental to the business transacted by them. In the opinion of
management, such litigation will not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
The Company is contingently liable under the terms of an agreement involving
its discontinued aviation services segment for payment of Industrial Revenue
Bonds issued by local governmental authorities operating at two airports, one
of which comes due in the year 2013 and the other which comes due in the year
2014, each of which is in the amount of $3,500. The Company believes its
allowance for disposition loss is sufficient to cover all potential liability.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
AND SERVICING RIGHTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
o Cash, accounts receivable, certain other assets and commercial paper
borrowings. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, the
carrying value equals or approximates fair value.
o Mortgage loans held for sale. Fair value is estimated using the quoted
market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans and current dealer
commitments to purchase loans. These loans are priced to be sold with
servicing rights retained. Gains (losses) on mortgage-related positions, used to
reduce the risk of adverse price fluctuations, for both mortgage loans held for
sale and anticipated mortgage loan closings arising from commitments issued, are
included in the carrying amount of mortgage loans held for sale.
o Mortgage servicing rights and fees. Fair value is estimated by discounting
the expected net cash flow of servicing rights and deferred mortgage
servicing fees using discount rates that approximate market rates and
externally published prepayment rates, adjusted, if appropriate, for
individual portfolio characteristics.
o Borrowings. Fair value of borrowings, other than commercial paper, is
estimated based on quoted market prices or market comparables.
o Interest rate swaps, foreign exchange contracts, forward delivery
commitments, futures contracts and options. The fair value of interest rate
swaps, foreign exchange contracts, forward delivery commitments, futures
contracts and options is estimated, using dealer quotes, as the amount that the
Company would receive or pay to execute a new agreement with terms identical to
those remaining on the current agreement, considering interest rates at the
reporting date.
The following table sets forth information about financial instruments, except
for those noted above for which the carrying value approximates fair value, at
April 30, 1996 and 1995:

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company employs interest rate swap agreements to match effectively the fixed
or floating rate nature of liabilities to the assets funded. A key assumption in
the following information is that rates remain constant at April 30, 1996
levels. To the extent that rates change, both the maturity and variable interest
rate information will change. However, the net rate the Company pays remains
matched with the assets funded.
The following table summarizes the maturity and weighted average rates of the
Company's interest rate swaps employed at April 30, 1996. These
characteristics are effectively offset within the portfolio of assets funded by
the Company.

</TABLE>
For the years ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company's hedging activities
increased interest expense $1,510 and $1,496, respectively, and had no effect on
its weighted average borrowing rate. For the same period in 1994, hedging
activities increased interest expense $12,632 and increased the weighted average
borrowing rate 0.3%.
The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts as hedges against
currency fluctuation on certain intercompany loans. Such contracts
effectively offset the currency risk applicable to approximately $125,031
and $80,600 of obligations at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance
by counterparties to certain derivative financial instruments. The Company
manages such risk by periodically evaluating the financial condition of
counterparties and spreading its positions among multiple counterparties. The
Company presently does not expect non-performance by any of the counterparties.

as interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, the
substantial portion of which represents interest on debt incurred to
finance leasing activities and mortgage banking activities, as well as
the interest costs associated with home relocation services which are
ordinarily recovered through direct billings to clients and are included
with "Costs, including interest, of carrying and reselling homes" in the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
