</TABLE>

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward
looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance,
or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future
results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward
looking statements. These forward looking statements were based on various
factors and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward looking statements. Important assumptions and other
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward looking statements, include, but are not limited to: the
resolution or outcome of the unresolved pending litigation, including the
proposed settlement of the class action litigation relating to the previously
announced accounting irregularities at our Parent Company; uncertainty as to the
Company's future profitability; the Company's ability to develop and implement
operational and financial systems to manage rapidly growing operations;
competition in the Company's existing and potential future lines of business;
the Company's ability to integrate and operate successfully acquired and merged
businesses and the risks associated with such businesses; the Company's ability
to obtain financing on acceptable terms to finance the Company's growth strategy
and for the Company to operate within the limitations imposed by financing
arrangements; and the effect of changes in current interest rates, particularly
in the Company's Mortgage segment. Other factors and assumptions not identified
above were also involved in the derivation of these forward looking statements,
and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized as well as other
factors may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
The Company assumes no obligation to publicly correct or update these forward
looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes
in other factors affecting such forward looking statements or if the Company
later becomes aware that they are not likely to be achieved.

                        PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              (UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, ALL AMOUNTS ARE IN MILLIONS)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
     include the accounts and transactions of PHH Corporation and its wholly
     owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The Company is a wholly
     owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation ("Cendant" or the "Parent
     Company"). Pursuant to certain covenant requirements in the indentures
     under which the Company issues debt, the Company continues to operate and
     maintain its status as a separate public reporting entity, which is the
     basis under which the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial
     Statements and Notes thereto are presented.

     In management's opinion, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
     contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
     of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim
     periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the
     entire year or any subsequent interim periods. In addition, management is
     required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
     and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment
     and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from
     those estimates. The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be
     read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
     year ended December 31, 1999.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform
     to the current period presentation.

2.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 138, "Accounting
     for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which
     amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
     Activities." SFAS No. 133 was previously amended by SFAS No. 137
     "Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
     the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which deferred the effective
     date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years commencing after June 15, 2000.
     Completion of the Company's implementation plan and determination of the
     impact of adopting these standards is expected by the fourth quarter of
     2000. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 138 concurrently with SFAS No. 133 on
     January 1, 2001, as required.

3.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The components of comprehensive income are summarized as follows:

4.   OTHER UNUSUAL CHARGES

     In connection with Parent Company restructuring initiatives, the Company
     incurred facility related charges of $2 million during the first quarter of
     2000 resulting from the consolidation of business operations.

5.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     In June 1999, the Company completed the disposition of its fleet
     businesses, a former segment of the Company, which was classified as a
     discontinued operation. The fleet businesses primarily provided fleet and
     fuel card related products and services to corporate clients and government
     agencies. Summarized financial data of discontinued operations were as
     follows:

</TABLE>

     The fleet businesses disposition was structured as a tax-free
     reorganization and, accordingly, no tax provision has been recorded on a
     majority of the gain. However, pursuant to a recent interpretive ruling,
     the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has taken the position that similarly
     structured transactions do not qualify as tax-free reorganizations under
     the Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)(A). If the transaction is not
     considered a tax-free reorganization, the resultant incremental liability
     could range between $10 million and $170 million depending upon certain
     factors including utilization of tax attributes and contractual
     indemnification provisions. Notwithstanding the IRS interpretive ruling,
     the Company believes that, based upon analysis of current tax law, its
     position would prevail, if challenged.

6.   SECURITIZATIONS

     During the second quarter of 2000, the Company entered into two separate
     financing agreements with Apple Ridge Funding LLC ("Apple Ridge"), a
     bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity. Under the terms of these
     agreements, certain relocation receivables will be transferred for cash, on
     a revolving basis, to Apple Ridge until January 31, 2005. The Company
     retains a subordinated residual interest and the related servicing rights
     and obligations in the relocation receivables. At June 30, 2000, the
     Company was servicing $738 million of receivables under these agreements.

7.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     PARENT COMPANY CLASS ACTION LITIGATION AND GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS
     Since the April 15, 1998 announcement by Cendant of the discovery of
     accounting irregularities in former CUC International Inc. ("CUC") business
     units of Cendant, approximately 70 lawsuits claiming to be

                                       5
<PAGE>

     class actions, two lawsuits claiming to be brought derivatively on
     Cendant's behalf and several individual lawsuits and arbitration
     proceedings have commenced in various courts and other forums against
     Cendant and other defendants by or on behalf of persons claiming to have
     purchased or otherwise acquired securities or options issued by CUC or
     Cendant between May 1995 and August 1998.

     The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the United States
     Attorney for the District of New Jersey are also conducting investigations
     relating to the matters referenced above. As a result of the findings from
     Cendant's internal investigations, Cendant made all adjustments considered
     necessary. On June 14, 2000, pursuant to an offer of settlement made by
     Cendant, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Public Administrative
     Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities and Exchange Act of
     1934, Making Findings and Imposing a Cease and Desist Order. In such Order
     the SEC found that Cendant had violated certain financial reporting
     provisions of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and ordered Cendant
     to cease and desist from committing any future violations of such
     provisions. No financial penalties were imposed by the SEC against Cendant
     or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company.

     On December 7, 1999, Cendant announced that it reached a preliminary
     agreement to settle the principal securities class action pending against
     Cendant in the U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey brought on behalf
     of purchasers of all Cendant and CUC publicly traded securities, other than
     PRIDES, between May 1995 and August 1998. Under the agreement, Cendant
     would pay the class members approximately $2.85 billion in cash. The
     settlement remains subject to approval by the court. On June 28, 2000, a
     hearing was held by the court to hear all objectors to the settlement. If
     the settlement is not approved by the court, Cendant can make no assurances
     that the final outcome or other settlement of this litigation will not be
     for an amount greater than that set forth in the preliminary agreement.

     The proposed settlement does not encompass all litigation asserting claims
     associated with Cendant's accounting irregularities. Cendant does not
     believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the final outcome or
     resolution of these unresolved proceedings. An adverse outcome from such
     proceedings could be material with respect to Cendant's earnings in any
     given reporting period. However, the Company does not believe that the
     impact of such unresolved proceedings should result in a material liability
     to the Company in relation to its consolidated financial position or
     liquidity.

     OTHER PENDING LITIGATION
     The Company is involved in pending litigation in the usual course of
     business. In the opinion of management, such other litigation will not have
     a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,
     results of operations or cash flows.

8.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

     Management evaluates each segment's performance based upon a modified
     earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization
     calculation. For this purpose, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings
     before non-operating interest, income taxes and depreciation and
     amortization (exclusive of depreciation and amortization on assets under
     management and mortgage programs), adjusted to exclude certain items which
     are of a non-recurring or unusual nature and are not measured in assessing
     segment performance or are not segment specific.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
         AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We are a leading provider of mortgage and relocation services and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cendant Corporation ("Cendant" or the "Parent Company"). Pursuant
to certain covenant requirements in the indentures under which we issue debt, we
continue to operate and maintain our status as a separate public reporting
entity.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information
contained in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying
Notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar
amounts are in millions.

RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS

Revenues the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased $4 million (2%) compared
with the corresponding period in 1999. Net income for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 decreased $890 million compared with the corresponding period in
1999 due to the absence in 2000 of $12 million of income and $871 million of
gains from discontinued operations in 1999.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased $7 million (2%)
compared with the corresponding period in 1999. Net income for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 decreased $929 million compared with the corresponding
period in 1999 due to the absence in 2000 of $34 million of income and $871
million of gains from discontinued operations in 1999.

RESULTS OF REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS

The underlying discussions of each segment's operating results focuses on
Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before non-operating interest,
income taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude certain
items, which are of a non-recurring or unusual nature and are not measured in
assessing segment performance or are not segment specific. Our management
believes such discussion is the most informative representation of how
management evaluates performance. However, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA
may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

RELOCATION
Revenues and EBITDA increased $7 million (7%) and $4 million (12%),
respectively, in second quarter 2000 compared with second quarter 1999. The
EBITDA margin grew from 32% in second quarter 1999 to 33% in second quarter
2000. Revenues and EDITDA reflect increases in service based fees for second
quarter 2000 versus second quarter 1999 including increases in: (i) outsourcing
fees of $2 million as a result of expanded service; (ii) international service
fees of $3 million as a result of increased marketing and sales efforts; and
(iii) other ancillary service fees of $3 million. The increase in service fee
revenues reflects a continuing trend in our business from asset based to service
based revenues. Also contributing to increases in revenues and EBITDA was $4
million of favorable net interest income in second quarter 2000 compared with
second quarter 1999. Partially offsetting the growth in revenue and EBITDA was a
$7 million gain recognized in second quarter 1999 on the sale of a minority
interest in an insurance subsidiary. On a comparable basis, excluding the
non-recurring gain, revenues and EBITDA increased $14 million (14%) and $11
million (41%), respectively, in second quarter 2000 compared with second quarter
1999.

MORTGAGE
Revenues and EBITDA decreased $10 million (9%) and $20 million (40%),
respectively, in second quarter 2000 compared with second quarter 1999. Revenues
from mortgage loans closed declined $10 million. Mortgage closings for the
quarter of $5.9 billion consisted of $5.5 billion in purchase mortgages and $400


                                       8
<PAGE>

million in refinancing mortgages. Closings for the quarter declined by $1.9
billion (24%) primarily because of a $1.4 billion reduction in mortgage
refinancing volume. Purchase mortgage closings declined by $500 million overall
from second quarter 1999 while retail purchase mortgages, which are loans where
we interact directly with the consumer, decreased $100 million to $4.6 billion.
Retail mortgage lending has been our primary focus and accounted for more than
80% of loan volume in the first six months of 2000. Moreover, we ranked as the
sixth largest retail mortgage lender in first quarter 2000, the latest period
for which data is available, as provided by the National Mortgage News. Our
closing volume in second quarter 2000 exceeded first quarter 2000 levels by $2.0
billion (54%), of which $1.7 billion were retail mortgages. Mortgage closings
from our Internet business, known as Log-In, Move-In, amounted to $244 million
in second quarter 2000, compared with $64 million in second quarter 1999. The
impact on revenues from the quarter-over-quarter collective decrease in closing
volume was partially offset by lower direct costs per loan. Revenues generated
by our servicing portfolio remained constant with last year despite a $14.5
billion (33%) increase in the average servicing portfolio, principally because
of higher servicing amortization expenses. The EBITDA margin decreased from 47%
in second quarter 1999 to 31% in second quarter 2000. The decline in EBITDA and
the EBITDA margin resulted principally from reduced volume of refinancings and
increased spending for technology, infrastructure and teleservices costs to
support capacity anticipated in future periods. Although no assurances can be
made, we expect that market conditions will improve in the second half of the
year to produce more positive comparisons as the year progresses. However, we
currently expect full year 2000 EBITDA to be slightly lower than 1999.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Our fleet  businesses  generated  revenues and income from operations of
$67 million and $12 million,  respectively,  for the three months ended
June 30, 1999.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

RELOCATION
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $8 million (4%) and $4 million (8%),
respectively, in six months 2000 compared with six months 1999. The Adjusted
EBITDA margin increased from 26% in six months 1999 to 27% in six months 2000.
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA reflect increases in service based fees for six
months 2000 versus six months 1999 including increases in: (i) outsourcing fees
of $5 million as a result of expanded services; (ii) international fees of $4
million as a result of increased marketing and sales efforts and; (iii) other
ancillary service fees of $5 million. The increase in service fee revenues
reflects a continuing trend in our business from asset based to service based
revenues. Also contributing to increases in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA was $4
million of favorable net interest income in six months 2000 compared with six
months 1999. The aforementioned increases in service based fees was partially
offset by lower corporate and government home sale closings. In addition, a $7
million gain was recognized in six months 1999 on the sale of a minority
interest in an insurance subsidiary. On a comparable basis, excluding the
non-recurring gain, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $15 million (8%) and
$11 million (24%), respectively, in six months 2000 compared with six months
1999.

MORTGAGE
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $26 million (13%) and $52 million (55%),
respectively, in six months 2000 compared with six months 1999, caused primarily
by a $28 million decline in revenues from mortgage loans closed. Mortgage loan
closings for six months 2000 were $9.7 billion, consisting of $9.0 billion in
purchase mortgages and $700 million in refinancing mortgages. Loans closed
declined by $4.8 billion (33%), primarily because of a $4.3 billion reduction in
mortgage refinancing volume. Purchase mortgage closings in our retail lending
business amounted to $7.6 billion in both six months 2000 and 1999. Mortgage
closings from our Internet business, known as Log-In, Move-In, amounted to $404
million in six months 2000, compared with $91 million in six months 1999. Loan
servicing revenues increased $2 million (4%) in six months 2000 versus six
months 1999. Loan servicing revenues in 1999 included a $9 million gain on the
sale of servicing rights. The average servicing portfolio grew approximately $10
billion (24%) in six months 2000 versus the prior year period. The Adjusted
EBITDA margin decreased from 47% in six months


                                       9
<PAGE>

1999 to 24% in six months 2000. The declines in Adjusted EBITDA and the Adjusted
EBITDA margin resulted principally from the reduced volume of refinancings and
increased spending for technology, infrastructure and teleservices costs
incurred to support capacity for volume anticipated in future periods. Although
no assurances can be made, we expect that market conditions will improve in the
second half of the year and produce more positive comparisons as the year
progresses. However, we currently expect full year 2000 Adjusted EBITDA to be
slightly lower than 1999.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Our fleet businesses generated revenues and income from operations of $166
million and $34 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1999.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To ensure adequate funding, we maintain three sources of liquidity: ongoing
liquidation of assets under management, global capital markets and committed
credit agreements with various domestic and international banks. In the ordinary
course of business, the liquidation of assets under management and mortgage
programs, as well as cash flows generated from operating activities, provide the
cash flow necessary for the repayment of existing liabilities. In addition, our
financial covenants are designed to ensure our self-sufficient liquidity status
and include restrictions on dividends payable to our Parent Company and loans
made to our Parent Company, limitations on the ratio of debt to equity, and
other separate financial restrictions.

We expect to continue to maximize our access to global capital markets by
maintaining the quality of our assets under management, which is achieved by
establishing credit standards to minimize credit risk and the potential for
losses. We minimize our exposure to interest rate and liquidity risk by
effectively matching floating and fixed interest rate and maturity
characteristics of funding to related assets, varying short and long-term
domestic and international funding sources and securing available credit under
committed banking facilities. Depending upon asset growth and financial market
conditions, we utilize the United States commercial paper markets, public and
private debt markets, as well as other cost-effective short-term instruments.
Also at June 30, 2000, we had approximately $375 million available for issuing
medium-term notes under an existing shelf registration statement. Proceeds from
future offerings will continue to be used to finance assets we manage for our
clients and for general corporate purposes.

Augmenting these sources, we will continue to manage outstanding debt with the
potential sale or transfer of managed assets to third parties while retaining
fee-related servicing responsibility. At June 30, 2000, we maintained two
agreements, whereby managed assets were sold or transferred to third parties.

Mortgage. We maintain a revolving sales agreement, under which an unaffiliated
bankruptcy remote buyer, Bishops Gate Residential Mortgage Trust (the "Buyer"),
a special purpose entity, has committed to purchase, at our option, mortgage
loans originated by us on a daily basis, up to the Buyer's asset limit of $2.1
billion. Under the terms of this sale agreement, we retain the servicing rights
on the mortgage loans sold to the Buyer and arrange for the sale or
securitization of the mortgage loans into the secondary market. The Buyer
retains the right to select alternative sale or securitization arrangements. At
June 30, 2000, we were servicing approximately $1.3 billion of mortgage loans
owned by the Buyer.

Relocation. During the second quarter 2000, we entered into two separate
financing agreements with Apple Ridge Funding LLC ("Apple Ridge"), a bankruptcy
remote, special purpose entity. Under the terms of these agreements, certain
relocation receivables will be transferred for cash, on a revolving basis, to
Apple Ridge until January 31, 2005. We retain a subordinated residual interest
and the related servicing rights and obligations in the relocation receivables.
At June 30, 2000, we were servicing approximately $738 million of receivables
under these agreements.

                                       10

At June 30, 2000, aggregate outstanding borrowings consisted of the following:

    Commercial paper                                 $          1,383
    Medium-term notes                                             390
    Secured obligations  (1)                                      470
    Other                                                         126
                                                     ----------------
                                                     $          2,369
                                                     ================

    --------
    (1) Consists of a 364 day financing agreement to sell mortgage loans under
        an agreement to repurchase such mortgages. The agreement is
        collateralized by the underlying mortgage loans held in safekeeping by
        the custodian to the agreement. The total commitment under this
        agreement is $500 million. The agreement is renewable on an annual basis
        at the discretion of the lender in accordance with the securitization
        agreement.

To provide additional financial flexibility, our current policy is to ensure
that minimum committed facilities aggregate 100 percent of the average amount of
outstanding commercial paper. As of June 30, 2000, the Company maintained $1.5
billion of unsecured committed credit facilities, which were provided by
domestic and foreign banks. The facilities consist of a $750 million revolving
credit maturing in February 2001 and a $750 million revolving credit maturing in
February 2005. The full amount of our committed facilities at June 30, 2000 was
undrawn and available to support the average outstanding commercial paper
balance.

We closely evaluate not only the credit of the banks but also the terms of the
various agreements to ensure ongoing availability. We believe that our current
policy provides adequate protection should volatility in the financial markets
limit our access to commercial paper or medium-term notes funding. We
continuously seek additional sources of liquidity to accommodate our asset
growth and to provide further protection from volatility in the financial
markets. In the event that the public debt market is unable to meet our funding
needs, we believe that we have appropriate alternative sources to provide
adequate liquidity, including current and potential future securitized
obligations and our revolving credit facilities.

On May 10, 2000, Thomson Financial Bankwatch initiated coverage of us and
assigned ratings of A- for senior debt and TBD-1 for short-term debt. In
addition to these ratings, we have the following long-term/short-term debt
ratings: A/F1, A-/A2, and Baal/P2 from Fitch, Standard and Poor's Corporation
and Moody's Investor Service, respectively. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or
withdrawal at any time.

Cash flows from operating activities increased primarily due to a decrease in
accounts receivable of $196 million and a $123 million net transfer of assets
other than relocation receivables under the Apple Ridge financing agreements.

Cash flows from investing activities decreased primarily due to the absence in
2000 of approximately $1.8 billion of net proceeds from the disposition of the
fleet businesses in 1999.

Cash flows from financing activities decreased due to dividends paid to the
Parent Company in 2000, which were absent in 1999.

Cash flows from operating activities decreased primarily due to a decrease of
$537 million in cash flows from the originations of mortgage loans, which
reflects larger mortgage loan originations in proportion to mortgage loan sales.

Cash flows from investing activities increased primarily due to a $324 million
net transfer of relocation receivables under the Apple Ridge financing
agreements.

Cash flows from financing activities decreased primarily due to changes in net
borrowings requirements for our investment in assets under management and
mortgage programs, offset by debt repayments from cash received under the Apple
Ridge financing agreements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amends SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
133 was previously amended by SFAS No. 137 "Accounting For Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133," which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal
years commencing after June 15, 2000. Completion of our implementation plan and
determination of the impact of adopting these standards is expected by the
fourth quarter of 2000. We will adopt SFAS No. 138 concurrently with SFAS No.
133 on January 1, 2001, as required.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As previously disclosed in our 1999 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, we assess
our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates
utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the
potential loss in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical
10% change (increase or decrease) in our market risk sensitive positions. We
used June 30, 2000 market rates to perform the sensitivity analysis separately
for each of our market risk exposures. The estimates assume instantaneous,
parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates. We have
determined, through such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest
and foreign currency exchange rates and prices on our earnings, fair values and
cash flows would not be material.
