                   COLDWELL BANKER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               For the Three Months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995


1. Basis of Presentation

        The consolidated balance sheet of Coldwell Banker Corporation (the
"Company") as of March 31, 1996, the consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated
statement of stockholders' deficiency for the three months ended March 31, 1996
are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such
adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. The consolidated financial
statements and notes are presented as would have been required by Form 10-Q and
do not contain certain information included in the Company's annual consolidated
financial statements. The December 31, 1995 consolidated balance sheet and
statement of stockholders' deficiency was derived from the Company's audited
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

        The Company experiences seasonal revenue patterns similar to those of
the real estate industry wherein the summer months produce higher revenue than
other periods of the year. Accordingly, the first and fourth quarters are
traditionally weaker than the second and third quarters and interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

        Through its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, the Company
operates a network of company-owned brokerage offices, which conduct real estate
brokerage, leasing and management activities in the residential real estate
market in the United States. As the franchiser of the Coldwell Banker name and
systems, the Company through a subsidiary, Coldwell Banker Residential
Affiliates, Inc., also provides services, products and certain rights to the
Coldwell Banker name to independently owned franchisees throughout the United
States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Another subsidiary, Coldwell Banker Relocation
Services, Inc., provides various relocation services to client corporations that
transfer their employees to other geographic locations. Other subsidiaries
provide various other real estate related services.

2. Income Taxes

        The effective income tax rate is based on estimated annual taxable
income and other factors.

3. Pending Acquisitions by HFS

        On May 1, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to be acquired by
merger ("the Merger") by HFS Incorporated ("HFS") who engages in the business of
franchising guest lodging facilities and real estate brokerage offices. HFS
agreed to pay $640 million in cash for all of the outstanding capital stock of
the Company and to repay approximately $100 million of indebtedness of the
Company. While completion of this transaction is not assured, the Company
expects that the transaction will be completed on or about May 31, 1996. The
Merger, if consummated, will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.
