INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of
   PHH Corporation Employee Investment Plan
Parsippany, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of PHH  Corporation  Employee  Investment  Plan (the Plan) as of May 1, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits  for the period from  January 1, 1998 through May 1, 1998,  and the
year ended December 31, 1997. These financial  statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the net assets  available  for benefits of the Plan as of May 1, 1998
and December 31, 1997, and the changes in net assets  available for benefits for
the period from January 1, 1998 through May 1, 1998, and the year ended December
31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As described in Note 1 to the financial  statements,  on May 1, 1998, the assets
and benefit  obligations  of the Plan were  merged into the Cendant  Corporation
Employees Savings Plan, the surviving plan.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule of reportable
transactions  for the  period  from  January  1,  1998  through  May 1,  1998 is
presented for the purpose of  additional  analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental  schedule
is the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental  schedule has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1998
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material
respects when considered in relation to the basic financial  statements taken as
a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 THROUGH MAY 1, 1998 AND
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND PLAN MERGER

      On April 30, 1997,  PHH  Corporation  (the  "Company") was merged with and
      into HFS Incorporated ("HFS") (the "HFS Merger") and on December 17, 1997,
      HFS was  merged  with and  into CUC  International  Inc.  ("CUC")  to form
      Cendant Corporation ("Cendant").  The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary
      of Cendant.

      On May 1, 1998, the PHH Corporation  Employee Investment Plan (the "Plan")
      comprised of $152.2  million in Plan  assets,  was merged into the Cendant
      Corporation  Employee Savings Plan (the "Cendant Plan"),  formerly the HFS
      Incorporated  Employee  Savings Plan (the "Plan Merger").  Coincident with
      the Plan Merger,  Plan  participants  became  participants  in the Cendant
      Plan.  Accordingly,  the transfer of each of the participants' Plan assets
      that  existed  at the  transfer  date  under the Plan,  were  invested  in
      comparable  investment  categories  in  proportionate  amounts  within the
      Cendant  Plan.  Effective  as of the date of the Plan  Merger,  investment
      options for  participants  under the Plan were  terminated  and all future
      contributions  were invested in options  available under the Cendant Plan.
      After the Plan  Merger,  Plan  participants  maintained  the same  vesting
      schedule  for their Plan  benefits as was in effect  under the Plan.  Plan
      participants  can refer to the Cendant Plan  document for a more  complete
      description of that Plan.

      Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, Cendant reserves the
      right to modify,  suspend, amend or terminate the Cendant Plan in whole or
      in part at any time subject to the  provisions of the Employee  Retirement
      Income  Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  If the Cendant Plan is  terminated,
      the  amounts  credited  to  the  employer  contribution  accounts  of  all
      participants shall become fully vested.

2.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

      The following  description  of the Plan provides only general  information
      relative to the Plan as it existed prior to the Plan Merger.  Participants
      can refer to the Plan  Agreement  for a more complete  description  of the
      Plan's provisions that were in effect for the financial  statement periods
      presented.

      The Plan is a defined  contribution  plan. It is subject to the provisions
      of ERISA.  The following is a summary of certain Plan provisions that were
      in effect prior to Plan Merger.

A.         Eligibility - Each employee of the Company is eligible to participate
           in the Plan after six months of service if at least  1,000 hours were
           worked in a  consecutive  12-month  period  commencing on the date of
           employment,  or in  any  Plan  year  commencing  after  the  date  of
           employment.   There  is  no  age   requirement   for  eligibility  to
           participate in the Plan.

B.         Employee  Contributions - Each participant may contribute to the Plan
           each year between 0% and 10% of eligible  earnings subject to certain
           limits contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

C.         Employer Contributions - Prior to May 1, 1997, the Company's matching
           contribution was dollar-for-dollar up to 3% of the participant's
           eligible deferred earnings and up to an additional 3% of eligible 
           earnings based upon the profitability of the Company from continuing
           operations for the relevant fiscal year.  The profitability-based 
           rate of the matchable portion was determined each year by the Board 
           of Directors.  All Company contributions matching the first 3% of the
           participant's eligible deferred earnings were invested in PHH 
           Corporation common stock with no transfers permitted until age 50.  
           All Company contributions matching up to an additional 3% based upon 
           Company profitability were initially invested in the Fidelity 
           Retirement Money Market Portfolio with no transfer restrictions.  
           During Plan year 1997, additional Company matching contributions
           totaling approximately $2,541,100 were paid to participants based on 
           Company profitability.

           Effective  May 1,  1997,  in  connection  with  the HFS  Merger,  the
           provisions of the Plan were amended to provide for a Company match of
           100% of employee contributions up to 3% of the participant's eligible
           deferred earnings and 50% of additional contributions up to 6% of the
           participant's  eligible  deferred earnings and all such Company match
           contributions  to the  Plan  were  to be  initially  invested  in the
           Fidelity   Retirement   Money  Market   Portfolio  with  no  transfer
           restrictions.
<PAGE>

D.         Vesting - Participants  have a full and immediate  vested interest in
           amounts contributed by them and earnings thereon. Participants have a
           vested interest in the Company's matching contributions determined by
           the  participants'  years of vested service.  Generally,  after three
           years of such service,  participants  have a 100% vested  interest in
           all Company contributions made.

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

F.         Loan Provision - Participants may obtain a loan of up to 50% of their
           vested  account  balance not to exceed  $50,000.  The  interest  rate
           charged on loans  outstanding is the prime rate plus 1% fixed for the
           entire term of the loan. Loan terms may range up to five years unless
           the  purpose  of the loan is to buy or build a primary  residence  in
           which case the loan term may be extended to ten years.  Repayment  of
           the  loan  principal  and  interest   occurs  through  equal  payroll
           deductions.  Participants  incur no  taxable  income  as a result  of
           taking a loan unless the loan is not repaid.

G.         Benefits  Payable -  Distributions  to  terminated  participants  are
           reported in the financial  statements  when paid.  Amounts payable to
           participants  who have  terminated  participation  in the  Plan  were
           approximately  $8.5  million at  December  31,  1997.  This amount is
           reflected as a liability on the Plan's Form 5500 in  accordance  with
           Department of Labor  regulation.  Effective May 1, 1998,  the Cendant
           Plan assumed the benefits payable liabilities of the Plan.

3.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS

      Basis of Presentation - The accompanying  financial statements of the Plan
      have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting  and present the net
      assets  available for benefits and the changes in net assets available for
      benefits.  Expenses  of  administering  the Plan  incurred  by the Company
      (i.e.,  the cost of printing  literature and forms,  the  disbursement  of
      benefits, the compensation of administrators, consultants, counsel, etc.),
      may be paid from  forfeited  Plan assets at the discretion of the Company.
      Internal  Company support costs (i.e.,  the cost of staff time,  etc.) are
      paid by the Company.

      Valuation of  Investments - Purchases and sales of securities are recorded
      on a trade-date basis. Investments are carried at fair value as determined
      by quoted  market  prices.  Participant  loans are  valued at cost,  which
      approximates fair value.

      Use of Estimates - The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity
      with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to make
      estimates  and  judgments  that  affect the  reported  amounts and related
      disclosures at the date of the financial statements.  Actual results could
      differ from those estimates.

4.    INVESTMENTS

      The Plan's  investments  which  exceeded  5% of net assets  available  for
      benefits as of December 31, 1997, are as follows:

      Description of Investment                                          1997
                                                                    ------------
          Cendant Corporation common stock                          $100,839,906
          Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Portfolio                        22,986,867
          Fidelity Magellan Fund                                      26,038,455
          Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio                  14,446,587

      Prior to the Plan Merger,  each  participant had the following  investment
      options: (a) the common stock of Cendant Corporation, (b) an Equity-Income
      Fund   (Fidelity   U.S.   Equity   Index    Portfolio),    consisting   of
      income-producing  equity securities;  (c) a Growth Fund (Fidelity Magellan
      Fund),  consisting of equity  securities of  corporations  that are growth
      companies;  (d) a Money  Market Fund  (Fidelity  Retirement  Money  Market
      Portfolio) consisting of various short-term money market instruments;  (e)
      an Asset  Allocation Fund (Fidelity Asset Manager)  consisting of domestic
      and foreign equity securities,  bonds, and short-term instruments;  (f) an
      International Growth Fund (Fidelity Europe Fund), consisting of securities
      of Western European issues; and (g) a Bond-Income Fund (Fidelity U.S. Bond
      Index Portfolio)  consisting of securities contained in the Aggregate Bond
      Index. The above investment objective  descriptions are from each option's
      respective prospectus.

5.    INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE STATUS

      The Internal  Revenue  Service issued its latest  determination  letter on
      January  23,  1995 which  stated  that the Plan and its  underlying  trust
      qualify by design under the applicable  provisions of the Internal Revenue
      Code and therefore are exempt from federal income taxes.  The Plan and its
      underlying  trust had been  restated and amended since the date covered by
      this  letter.  In the  opinion  of  Plan  management,  the  Plan  and  its
      underlying  trust has  operated  within the terms of the Plan and remained
      qualified  under the  applicable  provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code
      through date of Plan Merger.

6.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      During  fiscal  years  1998 and 1997,  a  significant  portion of the Plan
      investments  were  shares in various  mutual  funds  managed  by  Fidelity
      Investments ("Fidelity").  Fidelity was the custodian of these investments
      as defined by the Plan and,  therefore,  these  transactions  qualified as
      party-in interest.  Fees paid by the Plan for plan record keeping services
      amounted to $6,884 and $93,372 for the period from January 1, 1998 through
      May 1, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively.

7.    CONTINGENCIES

      On April 15, 1998,  Cendant  announced that in the course of  transferring
      responsibilities   for  its  accounting  functions  from  the  former  CUC
      personnel to HFS  accounting  personnel and preparing for the reporting of
      first  quarter  1998  financial  results,  it  had  discovered  accounting
      irregularities  in certain former CUC business  units.  Cendant,  together
      with its legal  counsel and  assisted by external  auditors,  conducted an
      investigation of these accounting  irregularities.  In addition, the Audit
      Committee of Cendant's Board of Directors  initiated an investigation into
      such matters.  As a result of the findings of these  investigations  and a
      concurrent  internal  financial  review  process by Cendant which revealed
      both accounting errors and irregularities, Cendant restated its previously
      reported financial  statements for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
      and 1995, and the 1998 quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30.

      Numerous  purported  classification  lawsuits,  two  purported  derivative
      lawsuits and an individual  lawsuit have been filed against  Cendant,  and
      among  others,  its  predecessor,  HFS,  and  certain  current  and former
      officers and directors of Cendant and HFS,  asserting various claims under
      the federal  securities  laws and certain state statutory and common laws.
      While it is not  feasible  to predict or  determine  the final  outcome of
      these legal  proceedings,  Cendant does not expect these legal proceedings
      to have any material adverse impact on the Cendant Plan.

      The  aforementioned  announcement  resulted in a decline in the  per-share
      price of  Cendant's  common  stock.  At  December  31,  1997,  the  Plan's
      investment  in  Cendant's  common  stock was  valued  at  $100.8  million,
      comprised  of  approximately  2.9  million  shares at a  closing  price of
      $34.375 per share. At May 1, 1998, prior to Plan Merger,  the common stock
      value was $68.3 million,  comprised of approximately 2.7 million shares at
      a closing  price of $25.063 per share.  During the period from  January 1,
      1998 through May 1, 1998,  the resulting  decline in the Cendant's  common
      stock  value,  exclusive  of  realized  losses on stock  sales,  was $25.4
      million.
