              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                                   (Unaudited)




SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial  statements  included  in  this  Form  10-Q  reflect  all  adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation
of the  results  of  operations  for  the  periods  presented.  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 annual report included as part of Form 10-K
for the year ended April 30, 1996.

Reclassifications

   
Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made to the  prior  year's  consolidated
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 $149,896 and $140,874 for the
three months ended July 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
    

Capital Stock

On June 24, 1996, the Board of Directors  authorized a two-for-one  common stock
split which was distributed  July 31, 1996, to stockholders of record on July 5,
1996. All per share amounts  herein and data as to  outstanding  common stock at
April 30, 1996, have been adjusted for the common stock split.

On August 19, 1996,  the  shareholders  voted to amend the Company's  charter to
increase  the number of  authorized  shares of common stock from  50,000,000  to
75,000,000.

Net Income Per Share

Net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted  average number of
shares  of  common  stock  outstanding  during  each  period  and  common  stock
equivalents arising from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options under
the treasury  stock  method.  See Exhibit 11 to this Form 10-Q which details the
computation of net income per share.

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.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations


                        PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Three months Ended July 31, 1996 vs. July 31, 1995


All  comparisons  within the following  discussion are to the same period of the
previous year, unless otherwise stated.

Consolidated net income and net income per share for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 increased 19 percent to $21.8 million and 17 percent to $.61, respectively.
The increase resulted from improved operations in each of the Company's business
segments,  led by the  vehicle  management  services  and real  estate  services
segments, with a slight increase in the mortgage banking services segment.

   
Consolidated  revenues  increased 8% to $475.8  million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. Vehicle management services revenues increased 2% to $339.2 million
primarily from increased  leasing revenues as a result of an increased number of
and average carrying amount of leased  vehicles,  partially offset by a decrease
in other vehicle  revenues  primarily due to a decrease in gains on sale of used
vehicles.  Real estate  services  revenues  increased 6% to $67.1 million in the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997  primarily  as a  result  of a 6%  increase  in
transferee   homes  sold  and  a  14%   increase  in  the  number  of  fee-based
transactions.  Mortgage  banking  revenue  increased 59% to $69.4 million in the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997  primarily  due to  revenues  earned on the 47%
increase in loans closed and servicing  revenues  generated from a 34% growth in
the servicing portfolio which was $23.0 billion at July 31, 1996.

Consolidated  expenses  increased 7% to $438.6  million for the first quarter of
fiscal  1997.  Increased  depreciation  on vehicles  under  operating  leases is
primarily  due to  increases  in leased  vehicles  as  discussed  above.  Costs,
including  interest,  of carrying and reselling homes increased 6% for the first
quarter, primarily as a result of the effects of the increase in homes closed as
discussed above.  Direct costs of mortgage  banking  services  increased 143% to
$29.8  million  for  the  first  quarter,   primarily  due  to  an  increase  in
amortization of servicing rights and fees and costs associated with the increase
in the loan  portfolio.  These costs were also  affected by the increase in loan
closings as discussed above. Interest expense increased 7% for the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 compared with the same period in the prior year  primarily due to
an increase in the average borrowings in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, which
were substantially higher than the prior year due to the significant increase in
loan closings and timing of loan sales during the period. Selling,  general, and
administrative  costs  increased  7% to $82.7  million for the first  quarter of
fiscal  1997  compared  with the same  period in the prior  year.  Increases  in
personnel  and other  operating  costs to  support  the  growth  in real  estate
services fee-based  transactions and mortgage production as well as increased US
relocation  systems  costs,  were  partially  offset  by  decreases  in  vehicle
management services costs as a result of effective cost management, reduction in
system spending, reduction in vehicles acquired and by the decrease in the North
American truck fuel management subsidiary (NTS) expenses as a result of its sale
in February 1996.

        of Operations (Cont.)


                        PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


The  Company's  effective  tax rate was 41 percent for the first three months of
fiscal 1997 as compared to 42 percent for the same period a year ago.

   
Management  analyzes  its  business  results in terms of net  revenues and total
operating expenses.  Net revenues,  as defined by the Company,  include revenues
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 services to clients.

Vehicle Management Services

Vehicle management services are primarily offered to corporations 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 and include
new  vehicle  purchasing,   open-  and  closed-end  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 which generate  recurring fee  transactions for managing various
aspects of clients' vehicle fleets.

Net revenues for vehicle  management  services  represents  revenues  earned and
billed to clients,  reduced by depreciation  on vehicles under operating  leases
and related  interest.  Total net revenues for this segment  decreased 3 percent
for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. However,  the results of operations of the
Company's former North American truck fuel management subsidiary (TFM) which was
sold in February  1996,  are included in the fiscal 1996 net  revenues.  If such
results are excluded, net revenues increased by 7 percent.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations (Cont.)


                        PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


Net revenues derived from  asset-based  products were flat for the first quarter
of fiscal 1997. Net revenues  resulting from increases in the number of vehicles
leased  were offset by the  anticipated  reduction  in  domestic  volume and per
vehicle gains of remarketed vehicles under closed-end operating leases.

Net revenues from fee-based services declined 1 percent. However,  excluding the
TFM  operations in fiscal 1996,  net revenues  derived from  fee-based  services
increased 17 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The increase was due
to  continued  growth in fuel,  maintenance  and accident  management  programs,
primarily  in the UK, as well as growth in truck  management  programs in the UK
and US.

Vehicle management  services operating income increased 39 percent for the first
quarter of fiscal  1997.  The  increase  resulted  from  changes in net revenues
described above and decreases in operating expenses, primarily in North America.
These  decreases  reflect  the  sale of the TFM  operations  as well as  reduced
systems costs and effective cost management programs in North America.

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.
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.

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  in  destination  locations,
marketing homes,  moving household goods and property  disposition  services for
financial institutions.

Real  estate  services  net  revenues  are those  earned and billed to  clients,
reduced by direct  costs paid on behalf of clients and related  interest.  Total
real estate services net revenues  increased 14 percent for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997.

Asset-based  net  revenues  increased 2 percent for the first  quarter of fiscal
1997,  primarily  reflecting  a slight  increase in the number of US  transferee
homes sold and  increases in the market value of these homes as compared to that
of the prior year.

Fee-based  net  revenues  increased  15 percent for the first  quarter of fiscal
1997,  primarily  due to more  household  goods  moves  in the US and  increased
referral  fees  from  the  Company's  network  partners.  These  increases  were
partially  offset  by a  decrease  in  the  disposition  volume  on  residential
properties  managed  for  financial  institutions  in the US.  Fiscal  1997  net
revenues  also  benefited  from  the  gain  on the  sale of the  Company's  site
selection consulting operations in July 1996.

Real estate services operating income increased 13 percent for the first quarter
of fiscal 1997.  The increases in net revenues  described  above were  partially
offset  by  increased  systems  costs  in the US and  increased  staffing  costs
primarily to support the volume growth in fee-based services.

The Company is generally not at risk on its carrying value of homes should there
be a downturn in the housing  market.  Management  anticipates  its clients will
continue to reassess their  relocation  plans as part of cost control  measures,
authorizing fewer home purchase  transactions  while utilizing a greater portion
of fee-based real estate services.  At the same time,  operating  results may be
affected  positively  as clients  increasingly  choose to  outsource  their real
estate  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.

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,  credit unions,  real estate  brokerage
firms, banks and other mortgage brokers.

        of Operations (Cont.)


                        PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES



The increase in loan production net revenues resulted from a 47 percent increase
in the volume  loans sold as well as a slight  increase  in margins  realized on
loans sold compared to the same period in the prior year. Mortgage loan closings
increased  from $1.5  billion to $2.2  billion  for the first  quarter of fiscal
1997.  This  increase  was a result of increased  market share due  primarily to
expanded  relationships with affinity groups which represented 23 percent of the
increase in the quarter,  and with financial  institutions  which represented 15
percent of the increase.  Mortgages for residential  properties  being purchased
continue to  represent  the majority of mortgage  closing  volume and totaled 83
percent of closing volume compared to 86 percent in the prior year.

Net  servicing  fee revenue  increased 13 percent in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 due to growth of the average servicing  portfolio,  partially offset by the
increased  amortization of mortgage servicing rights. The increased amortization
relates primarily to originated  mortgage servicing rights which the Company has
been  capitalizing  since the beginning of fiscal 1996. The servicing  portfolio
balance at July 31, 1996, was $23.0 billion as compared to $17.1 billion at July
31, 1995.

The gain on sale of servicing rights decreased due to a lower level of servicing
rights  sales in the first  three  months of fiscal  1997  compared  to the same
period a year ago.

Mortgage  banking  services  operating  income increased 2 percent for the first
quarter  of fiscal  1997,  due to  higher  net  revenues,  as  described  above,
substantially  offset by higher operating expenses.  Operating expense increased
in support of volume  increases of mortgage loan production and additional staff
training to support increased  business from affinity and financial  institution
relationships.

The Company's  profitability  from mortgage banking services will be affected by
such external  factors as capacity  within the  industry,  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  group and  credit  union  clients,
expansion of its client base, and maintaining its system of delivering mortgages
in a cost-efficient  manner,  should  positively affect operating results in the
future.

   
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 three months ended
July 31, 1996 cash  provided by  operating  activities  increased  57% to $266.0
million  primarily  due to timing of  operating  activities,  including  a $25.7
million  increase in mortgage loans held for sale in fiscal 1997 compared with a
$75.9 million  increase in fiscal 1996, and increased  depreciation  on vehicles
under  operating  leases.  Cash used in investing  activities  decreased  20% to
$341.7 million in fiscal 1997 primarily as a result of a reduction in the growth
in equity advances on homes under management  during the three months ended July
31, 1996 compared with the same period in the prior year.

                        PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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.  Foreign currency forward contracts are
utilized to convert to local currency when necessary.  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  $2.3  billion  and $2.2  billion at July 31,  1996 and April 30,  1996,
respectively.  At July 31,  1996,  $2.0  billion  in  medium-term  notes and $59
million in other debt securities were  outstanding  compared to $2.1 billion and
$54 million,  respectively,  at April 30, 1996. The Company maintains a leverage
ratio between 7 to 1 and 8 to 1.

Cash provided by financing  activities  decreased 69% to $84.5 million primarily
as a result of the  decline  in  funding  requirements  related  to  changes  in
mortgage  loans held for sale and equity  advances on homes as discussed  above.
The shift of net borrowings  from  borrowings with terms of less than 90 days to
other borrowings in fiscal 1997 compared with the prior year primarily  reflects
that the  company  chose to  fund,  under  the  terms  of its  medium-term  note
programs, more favorable conditions existed under that program than from issuing
commercial  paper.  The  effect of the  changes  in the  British  pound-sterling
exchange  rate during fiscal 1997 had a negative  impact on the  Company's  cash
position compared with the prior year period.

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 $2.2 billion and uncommitted lines of credit aggregating  approximately
$400 million are  currently in place with 31 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 $2.2 billion in committed facilities at July 31, 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.

*Amounts reflect a one-third portion of rentals, the portion deemed
representative of the interest factor.


Note:   The  interest   included  in  fixed  charges  consists  of  the  amounts
        identified 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.
