ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On May 2, 1996, HFS Incorporated (the "Registrant") entered into an
agreement to acquire by merger (the "Merger") Coldwell Banker Corporation
("Coldwell Banker"), the largest gross revenue producing residential real estate
company in North America and a leading provider of corporate relocation
services. The Registrant has agreed to pay $640 million in cash for all of the
outstanding capital stock of Coldwell Banker and intends to repay approximately
$100 million of indebtedness of Coldwell Banker. While completion of this
transaction is not assured, the Registrant expects that the transaction will be
completed on or about May 31, 1996.
Coldwell Banker provides franchises to real estate brokerage offices and
provides corporate relocation services and real estate brokerage services
throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Coldwell Banker is the
third largest real estate brokerage franchisor in the United States having
approximately 2,164 franchised offices and currently owns and operates 318
offices in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico as of March 31, 1996. The
Registrant estimates that Coldwell Banker is the second largest provider of
corporate employee relocation services in the United States based on the number
of transferred employees assisted.
Certain audited consolidated financial statements of Coldwell Banker and
its subsidiaries as well as certain pro forma financial information with respect
to the Merger are included in the Exhibits hereto.
The Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed by the Registrant for
purposes of incorporating by reference the exhibits listed in Item 7 hereof in
the Registrant's effective Registration Statements currently on file with the

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Coldwell Banker Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coldwell Banker
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995. The consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Coldwell Banker
Corporation and Subsidiaries for the three months ended December 31, 1993 and
the nine months ended September 30, 1993 were audited by other auditors, whose
report dated March 11, 1994, expressed an unqualified opinion on these
statements.
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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Coldwell Banker
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the three months ended December 31,
1993, reflect the operations of Coldwell Banker Corporation and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") (formerly Coldwell Banker Residential
Holding Company and Subsidiaries). The stock of the Company was
acquired by Fremont Group, Inc. ("Fremont") and senior management of
the Company on October 5, 1993, (the "Acquisition") and accounted for
as being effective as of October 1, 1993. Because of acquisition
adjustments made, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
of the Company are not directly comparable to those of the
Predecessor.
The accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1993, reflects the operations of the
Company prior to the Acquisition when the Company was wholly owned
through a subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck and Co. ("Sears"). These
operations are referred to as the "Predecessor."
The purchase price was approximately $159.0 million, including
interest in the amount of $2.7 million paid to Sears at closing. In
addition, the Company paid to Sears $24.0 million for an agreement
not-to-compete.
The Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations.
Accordingly, the total purchase price has been allocated to the
tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on the
Company's estimates of their respective fair values at the date of
acquisition.
The Acquisition had a significant impact on the carrying basis of
assets and liabilities. Accordingly, historical results of operations
for the three months ended December 31, 1993 and the year ended
December 31, 1994, have been significantly impacted from the effects
of acquisition accounting.

On January 6, 1995, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Fox & Carskadon, a real estate brokerage
company, for a purchase price of approximately $14.7 million. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations.
Accordingly, the total purchase price has been allocated to the
tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on the
Company's estimates of their respective fair values at the date of
acquisition.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company - 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. ("CBRA"), 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. ("CBRS"), provides various relocation services to
client corporations that transfer their employees to other geographic
locations. Other subsidiaries provide various other real
estate-related services.
Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------
Management Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers short-term investments which
have maturities of three months or less at date of acquisition to be
cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment, including
significant improvements thereto, are stated at cost. Upon retirement
or other disposal, the asset cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the net amount less
any proceeds, is charged or credited to income. Maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Facilities which have
been closed, and that management intends to sell, are carried at the
lower of cost less accumulated depreciation or estimated realizable
value.
Depreciation and Amortization - The Company provides for depreciation
on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or
the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Property and equipment are depreciated or amortized over the
following estimated useful lives:
Years
Land Improvements 20
Building and improvements 35
Leasehold improvements Lesser of estimated useful life
or remaining term of lease
Furniture and equipment 3 to 5
Leases - Aside from the Company's corporate headquarters, the Company
operates primarily in leased facilities. Lease terms are generally
five years with options to renew at varying terms. Certain facility
leases include scheduled base rent increases over the term of the
lease. The total amount of the base rent payments is being charged to
expense on the straight-line method over the term of the leases. The
Company has recorded a liability to reflect the excess of rent
expense over cash payments since the inception of the leases. In
addition to the base rent payment, the Company may also be required
to pay a monthly allocation of the buildings' operating expenses.

-----------
Goodwill and Other Intangibles - Goodwill represents the excess of
cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is being
amortized on a straight line basis over terms ranging between 1 year
and 25 years. Other intangibles are stated at cost and include a
covenant not-to-compete with Sears. The covenant not-to-compete is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
covenant which is four years. The Company assesses whether there has
been a permanent impairment in the value of intangible assets by
considering factors such as expected future operating income, trends
and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and
other economic factors. Management believes no permanent impairment
has occurred.
Income Taxes - The Company's operations are consolidated for federal
income tax purposes with those of Sears through October 4, 1993, and
for federal and California purposes, with those of Fremont since
October 5, 1993. In all other taxing jurisdictions, the Company files
its own tax returns. The income tax arrangement between the
Predecessor and Sears provided that the Predecessor's provision for
income taxes generally would be determined as if the Predecessor were
filing its own tax returns. Further, Sears agreed to reimburse the
Predecessor for the benefit it received from its utilization of any
federal tax losses or tax credits generated by the Predecessor. The
income tax arrangement between the Company and Fremont provides that
the Company's provision for federal and California income taxes
generally will be determined as if the Company were filing its own
tax returns and began operations on October 5, 1993.
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes
in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred
income taxes are recorded based on the difference between financial
statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and
available tax credit carryforwards using enacted rates in effect for
the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A
valuation allowance would be established for deferred income tax
assets if it were more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Income tax
expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the
period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Closed Offices - In the course of business, the Company opens and
closes real estate brokerage offices and facilities based on industry
and local market conditions. Leases related to facilities which have
been closed are evaluated taking into consideration current and
prospective real estate market conditions, sublease and lease
termination opportunities, and other factors, and a charge to
operations is recorded to reflect the expected future lease and other
expenses associated with such closed facilities.

-----------
Revenue Recognition - Real estate commissions are recorded as revenue
upon close of escrow or upon transfer of title. Other commissions and
fees are recorded as revenue at the time the related services have
been performed by the Company unless significant future contingencies
exist.
Fees for relocation services are earned under contracts with client
corporations and consist of real estate related fees associated with
the acquisition, management and resale of employee-transferees' homes
and fees derived from providing additional non-real estate relocation
administration services which include the administration of client
corporations' relocation policies, the management of household goods
moves, and accounting for employee-transferees' relocation
reimbursable expenses. Real estate related relocation revenues are
recognized partially upon acquisition of the home from the
employee-transferee and the remainder upon close of escrow or
transfer of title. Fees associated with non-real estate services are
recognized over the periods in which the services are provided and
the associated expenses are incurred. All fees for relocation
services are shown net of expenses reimbursed by client corporations.
Franchise fee revenues are recognized upon substantial completion of
the Company's obligation to the franchisee. Franchise service fee
revenues are recognized when the franchisee settles or closes escrow
on real estate transactions brokered by the franchisee.
Relocation Services - Real estate related services provided by CBRS
include responsibility for the acquisition, management and sale of
the employee-transferee's home, providing equity advances on the
employee-transferee's home for purchase of a new home and certain
other relocation related services.
While CBRS possesses legal or equitable title to the properties, any
difference between the purchase price and the ultimate sales proceeds
is the responsibility of the client corporation. Additionally, direct
expenses of managing the homes under contract (continuing mortgage
payments, property taxes, repairs and maintenance, etc.) are borne by
the client corporation. Funds are generally advanced by the client
corporation to CBRS for payment of these home management costs. After
the home selling transaction is completed, a settlement of actual
costs, fees and the funds advanced is made with the client
corporation.
Under certain contracts with client corporations, CBRS may provide an
advance of equity prior to the acquisition of the home and may fund
other relocation related expenses on behalf of the client
corporation. In addition, CBRS may advance funds to pay off all
mortgage debt upon purchase of the home by CBRS. These advances are
repaid to CBRS upon the close of escrow or transfer of title when the
related home is resold. All
13
<PAGE>
COLDWELL BANKER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------
advances generally carry an interest charge and are guaranteed by the
client corporation.
Several client corporations have arranged to fund all or a portion of
their relocation related expenses, including equity payments to their
employee-transferees. Such funding reduces the requirement for CBRS
to fund such expenses and is repaid to the client corporation upon
the close of escrow or transfer of title when the related home is
sold.
As described in Note 4, certain eligible Receivables arising from the
above transactions have been sold to an unrelated trust.
Franchise Agreements - Upon execution of the franchise agreement, a
franchisee is required to pay an initial franchise fee based on the
number of locations franchised. The franchisee is also required to
pay a service fee equal to a percentage of its gross revenues, as
defined in the franchise agreement.
Stock Options - In October 1995, the Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation ("SFAS 123") which is
effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin
after December 15, 1995. The Company is currently studying the
effects of adopting SFAS 123 or continuing to account under the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees.
Reclassification - Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
3. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Included within cash and cash equivalents is $9,674,000 and
$17,082,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, of funds
invested in certificates of deposit and other similar cash
equivalents that cannot be used other than to repay the loans that
provided the cash for these cash equivalents. The loans to which
these cash equivalents relate are included in other notes payable,
current portion (See Note 8).
4. SUBORDINATED RECEIVABLE FROM SALES OF RELOCATION RECEIVABLES
Effective October 5, 1993, CBRS entered into a three-year $250
million agreement to sell, on a revolving basis, its ownership
interest in the principal portion of certain of its eligible accounts
receivable and equity advances for residential properties, net
("Receivables"). On October 5, 1994, CBRS entered into a similar new
five-year agreement (the "Agreement") that replaced the agreement of
October 5, 1993. The
14
<PAGE>
COLDWELL BANKER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------
Agreement allows for up to $250 million of outstanding cash proceeds
to be available for the sales of such eligible Receivables net of
client advances. The level of cash proceeds is subject to change
based on the level of eligible Receivables and restrictions on
concentrations of Receivables. Under terms of the Agreement, CBRS
generally receives a portion of the sale proceeds in cash from the
buyer with the remainder payable in the form of a non-interest
bearing receivable from the purchaser. Additionally, CBRS services
the Receivables portfolio for the purchaser for a fee. During the
course of the Agreement, proceeds from collection of the Receivables
are available first to repay the purchaser; at the expiration of the
Agreement, CBRS and the purchaser will share a proportionate risk of
loss as the eligible pool of Receivables is liquidated subject to the
recourse provisions of the Agreement. Included in other expenses for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the three months
ended December 31, 1993, are $1,614,000, $4,908,000 and $2,769,000,
respectively, of discounts and other costs recognized on sales of
such Receivables. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, all qualifying
Receivables have been sold as required by the terms of the Agreement.
The outstanding amount due under the subordinated receivable at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, was $47,313,000 and $75,082,000,
respectively, which is net of deferred interest income of $1,940,000
and $2,282,000, respectively, based on interest rates ranging FROM
6.67% to 9.05%. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, $16,023,000 and
$51,288,000, respectively, of this receivable was available on demand
and the remainder is subject to recourse provisions and is,
therefore, effectively subordinated to repayments

Senior Subordinated Notes - In connection with the Acquisition, the
Company issued $115,000,000 of 10 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due
June 30, 2003. The Senior Subordinated Notes were subordinated to all
senior indebtedness of the Company and were subject to various
covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with at
December 31, 1994. The Company repurchased, in the open market, the
remaining $29,350,000 of the Senior Subordinated Notes during the
year ended December 31, 1995 (See Note 20).
Senior Indebtedness - On October 6, 1994, the Company entered into a
credit agreement with Citicorp U.S.A., Inc. and a group of lenders to
provide the Company with a five year $100,000,000 reducing revolving
credit facility which includes a $10,000,000 subfacility for letters
of credit (the "Credit Agreement"). On July 26, 1995, the Credit
Agreement was amended to increase the revolving credit facility to
$170,000,000. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets,
including a pledge of the Company's common stock and that of the
Company's principal subsidiaries. Beginning June 30, 1996, the
$170,000,000 facility will be reduced semi-annually to $77,500,000 as
follows:
June 30, 1996 $155,000,000
December 31, 1996 $140,000,000

December31, 1998 $90,000,000
June 30, 1999 $77,500,000
Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on the
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or Citibank's Alternate Base
Rate ("ABR") at the Company's option. Borrowings bear interest at
LIBOR plus a margin of 0.5% to 1.25% (1.25% at December 31, 1995).
The borrowing rate at December 31, 1995, was 7.00%. Interest is paid
on the day of LIBOR maturities and in arrears on the first day of the
month for ABR advances.
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that, among other
things, limit the type and amount of additional indebtedness that may
be incurred by the Company and impose limitations on investments,
loans and advances, sales or transfers of assets, liens, dividends
and other payments, certain transactions with affiliates and certain
mergers. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company was in compliance
with all covenants.

ended December 31, 1993, consist of charges for accounting, finance
and other support services. Management fees to Predecessor's parent,
charged through September 30, 1993, consist of charges for
accounting, legal, treasury and employee benefit administration and
other support services. These costs have been allocated to the
Company on the basis of various factors which take into consideration
the relative costs and expenses incurred by the parent in providing
such services to the Company. Management believes that the amounts
23

-----------
allocated to the Company have been computed and charged to the
Company on a reasonable basis.
16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Data Processing - The Company entered into an agreement as of August
1, 1994, with Advantis, a general partnership between affiliates of
Sears and International Business Machines Corporation. Under the
agreement, Advantis will continue to provide the Company with
information processing, data networking and related services. As to
central processing unit information services, the agreement is
exclusive, but there is no minimum annual commitment. The agreement
replaces an earlier agreement with Advantis which had a minimum
annual commitment of approximately $6,600,000. The agreement will
expire, unless earlier terminated or extended, on December 31, 1998.
Communications - The Company entered into an agreement as of December
13, 1994, with AT&T. Under this agreement, AT&T will provide the
Company with voice communications services formerly provided by
Advantis. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has an aggregate
minimum annual commitment of approximately $3,000,000 subject to
various cost of living and usage adjustments. The agreement will
expire, unless earlier terminated or extended, on December 14, 1998.
Litigation - The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in
certain lawsuits involving routine litigation incidental to the
businesses in which they are engaged. Based on the opinions of
in-house and external counsel, the Company believes that any
liability which may result from disposition of these lawsuits will
not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
17. FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Fiduciary Funds - The consolidated financial statements do not
include the assets and liabilities or activities of various fiduciary
funds. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, such funds amounted to
$37,570,000 and $28,774,000, respectively. These funds are primarily
comprised of deposits by homebuyers pending close of escrow or
transfer of title. The Company is subject to various disclosure and
fiduciary duties under certain state laws with which the Company
believes it currently complies.
Advertising Fund - Under terms of CBRA's franchise agreements,
company-owned brokerages and franchisees are required to contribute
to an advertising fund administered by the Company. The consolidated
financial statements do not reflect the net assets or activities of
the advertising fund. Net assets of the advertising fund aggregated
24

COLDWELL BANKER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------
$2,065,000 and $1,928,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the
three months ended December 31, 1993, and the nine months ended
September 30, 1993, the Company contributed $2,983,000, $3,087,000,
$763,000 and $2,582,000, respectively, and franchisees contributed
$13,683,000, $13,093,000, $3,026,000 and $8,325,000, respectively, to
the advertising fund.
18. FAIR VALUE INFORMATION
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994, is made in accordance with
the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The
estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company
using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in
interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current
market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated
fair value amounts.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and
commissions receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and
notes payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994, are a reasonable
estimate of their fair value.
The carrying value of notes receivable and subordinated receivable
from sale of relocation receivables, excluding notes aggregating
$208,000 and $641,000, net, at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, approximates fair value estimated by discounting the
future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the
remaining maturities.
The fair value of the $208,000 and $641,000 of notes receivable at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, is net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts of $175,000 and $241,000, respectively, and is
comprised of numerous notes receivable with varying interest rates,
collateral values and payment characteristics arising from the
Company's real estate brokerage operations and certain nonperforming
notes receivable; accordingly, the fair value of these notes
receivable was not estimated because it was not practical without
excessive cost in relation to the amount of the notes receivable to
reasonably assess the credit adjustment that would be applied for
such loans.
25
<PAGE>
COLDWELL BANKER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------
The fair value of the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes payable
with a carrying value of $29,350,000 at December 31, 1994, was
$31,929,000 based on the amount paid to repurchase the notes in the
open market in 1995.
The fair value information presented herein is based on pertinent
information available to management as of December 31, 1995 and 1994.
Although management is not aware of any factors that would
significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts
have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these
consolidated financial statements since that date, and current
estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts
presented herein.
19. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Company provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits
for retired employees. Generally, qualified employees may become
eligible for these benefits if they retire in accordance with the
Company's established retirement policy and are continuously insured
under the Company's insurance plans prior to retirement. All retired
employees of the Company who are age 55 with 15 years of continuous
service in a plan offered by the Company are eligible for these
benefits. The Company's postretirement benefit plans currently are
not funded. The Company has the right to modify or terminate these
plans. The Company accrues the cost of retiree healthcare and life
insurance benefits during the employee's service with the Company.
Postretirement benefits costs were comprised of the following:

</TABLE>
Subsequent to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions, at January 1, 1992, the Company modified the
cost-sharing provisions related to retiree contributions. These
modifications reduced the Company's accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of December 31, 1992. The unamortized effects
of the negative plan amendments were eliminated in connection with
the accounting for the Acquisition.
The weighted average healthcare costs trend rate used in measuring
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and postretirement
benefit cost was 8.0% in 1995, gradually declining to 5.5% in 2001,
and remaining at that level thereafter. A 1.0% increase in the
assumed healthcare cost trend rate for each year would increase the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $43,000 and would
increase the sum of the service cost and interest cost by $7,000.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.0%.
20. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM RELATED TO THE EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company incurred an
extraordinary loss of $2,027,000 net of income tax benefits of
$1,593,000. The loss was related to the repurchase of senior
subordinated notes.

During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company incurred an
extraordinary loss of $5,963,000 net of income tax benefits of
$4,685,000. The loss was related to the refinancing of the senior
indebtedness and repurchase of senior subordinated notes.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 is
presented as if the following transactions had occurred on December 31, 1995:
(1) the acquisition by merger of Coldwell Banker Corporation
("Coldwell Banker");
(2) the receipt of proceeds from the offering of 15,000,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), to the
extent necessary to finance the acquisition of Coldwell Banker and
the related repayment of indebtedness of Coldwell
Banker and to pay acquisition expenses;
(3) the following acquisitions (collectively the "1996 Acquisitions"):
[a] six non-owned Century 21 regions ("Century 21 NORS");
[b] assets comprising the Travelodge franchise system
("Travelodge");
[c] assets comprising the Electronic Realty Associates franchise
system ("ERA");
(4) the February 22, 1996 issuance of $240 million of 4-3/4%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2003 (the "4-3/4% Notes") to the extent such
proceeds were used to finance the 1996 Acquisitions.
The pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995
is presented as if the above transactions and the August 1, 1995 acquisition
of Century 21 and the acquisition by merger (the "CCI Merger") in May 1995 of
Casino & Credit Services, Inc.'s gambling patron credit information business,
Central Credit Inc. ("CCI") had occurred on January 1, 1995.
The acquisitions have been or will be accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed
have been or will be recorded at their estimated fair values which are
subject to further refinement, including appraisals and other analyses, with
appropriate recognition given to the effect of current interest rates and
income taxes. Management does not expect that the final allocation of the
purchase price for the above acquisitions will differ materially from the
preliminary allocations. The Company has entered into certain immaterial
transactions which are not reflected in the pro forma statements of
operations.
The pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to present
the financial position or results of operations of the Company had the
transactions and events assumed therein occurred on the dates specified, nor
are they necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be
achieved in the future. In addition to the cost savings reflected in the pro
forma consolidated statement of operations, management believes that certain
additional cost savings and revenue enhancements may be realized following
the acquisitions. These savings are expected to be realized primarily through
the restructuring of franchise services of the acquired companies as well as
revenue enhancements expected through leveraging of the Company's preferred
vendor programs. No assurances can be made as to the amount of cost savings
or revenue enhancements, if any, that actually will be realized. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the Company will complete the acquisition of
Coldwell Banker, in which case the Company would retain the proceeds from the
offering of the Shares for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
The pro forma consolidated financial statements do not reflect
approximately $16 million of expenses which the Company expects to incur
following the acquisition of Coldwell Banker relating to the contribution of
Coldwell Banker's 318 owned real estate brokerage offices ("Owned Brokerage
Business") to an independent trust (the "Trust") and the relocation of Company
headquarters.
The pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on certain
assumptions and adjustments described in the Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated
Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations and should be read in conjunction
therewith and with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of
the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CCI Merger
The estimated fair values of CCI's information data base, property and
equipment and excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired are $7.5
million, $1.0 million and $33.8 million, respectively, and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the periods to be benefited which are ten, five and
forty years, respectively. The benefit periods associated with the excess
cost over fair value of net assets acquired were determined based on CCI's
position as the dominant provider of gambling patron credit information
services since 1956, its ability to generate operating profits and expansion
of its customer base and the longevity of the casino gaming industry.
Century 21
The estimated fair values of Century 21 property and equipment, franchise
agreements and excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired are $5.5
million, $33.5 million and $140.0 million, respectively, and are amortized on
a straight-line basis over the periods to be benefited which are seven,
twelve and forty years, respectively. The benefit periods associated with the
excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired were determined based on
Century 21's position as the world's largest franchisor of residential real
estate brokerage offices, the most recognized brand name in the residential
real estate brokerage industry and the longevity of the residential real
estate brokerage business.

E. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: (Continued)
Coldwell Banker
The estimated fair value of Coldwell Banker's property and equipment of
$25 million is amortized over the estimated average benefit period of seven
to twenty-five years.
The Company has not completed its valuation of franchise agreements and
therefore has not determined the amount of costs in excess of fair value of
net identifiable assets acquired. However, based on a preliminary analysis,
the Company believes that the aggregate intangibles will have a benefit
period of twelve to forty years. For purposes of the pro forma financial
statements, an estimated average life of twenty-five years was used to
calculate the amortization expense.
1996 Acquisitions
The estimated fair values of 1996 Acquisitions franchise agreements
aggregate $61.0 million and are being amortized on a straight line basis over
the periods to be benefited, which range from twelve to thirty years. The
estimated fair values of 1996 Acquisitions excess of cost over fair value of
net assets acquired aggregate $164.2 million, and are each being amortized on
a straight line basis over the periods to be benefited, which are forty
years.
