                        HFS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


     The pro  forma  consolidated  balance  sheet  as of  December  31,  1995 is
presented as if the acquisitions of the six United States  non-owned  Century 21
regions   ("Century  21  NORS"),   the   Travelodge(R)   and  Electronic  Realty
Associates(R)   ("ERA(R)")   franchise   systems,   (collectively,   the   "1996
Acquisitions")  and the proceeds  from the  February  22, 1996  issuance of $240
million of 4 3/4% convertible senior notes (the "4 3/4% Notes") due 2003, to the
extent such proceeds were used to finance the 1996 acquisitions, had occurred on
December 31, 1995.  The pro forma  statement  of  operations  for the year ended
December  31, 1995 is  presented  as if (i) the 1996  Acquisitions  and (ii) the
issuance  of the 4 3/4% Notes  occurred  on January 1, 1995,  and  reflects  the
consolidation of such  transactions  and the pro forma financial  results of HFS
prior to the 1996  Acquisitions.  The pro forma financial results of HFS include
all of HFS' acquisitions prior to 1996. The acquisitions have been 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,  based  upon  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 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. The pro forma consolidated  statement of operations does not reflect
cost savings and revenue  enhancements that management  believes 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. 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
their Annual Report on Form 10-K and the financial  statements and related notes
of the acquired  companies included as exhibits in Item 7 of this 8-K/A Form 8-K
of the Company dated April 5, 1996.

Associates,  Inc. ("ERA Inc."). The financial  statements which were audited for
the year ended December 31, 1995 were those of Electronic  Realty  Associates LP
("ERA LP") which differ from the ERA Inc. financial  statements.  The difference
is primarily  attributable to (i) the home warranty  business which was acquired
by HFS but is excluded from the audited financial statements of ERA LP; and (ii)
an  intercompany  charge to ERA LP by ERA Inc. Net revenues,  total expenses and
net loss of ERA LP for the year ended  December  31,  1995 were  $39.4  million,
$47.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

which are twelve,  thirty and twenty years,  respectively.  The  estimated  fair
values of Century 21 NORS,  Travelodge  and ERA's excess cost over fair value of
net  assets  acquired  are  $143.5  million,  $9.0  million  and $34.9  million,
respectively  and are each being  amortized  on a  straight  line basis over the
periods to be benefited which are forty years.

      4 3/4% Notes

     The pro forma  adjustment  reflects  interest  expense of $8.0  million and
amortization of deferred financing fees of $.6 million,  related to the issuance
of the 4 3/4% Notes at an interest rate of 4 3/4% per annum,  to the extent that
such  proceeds  were  used to  finance  the  1996  Acquisitions.  The pro  forma
adjustment for deferred  financing fees reflects $4 million of capitalized costs
associated  with the issuance of the 4 3/4% Notes which are being amortized over
the term of the 4 3/4% Notes.


E.    Income taxes:

      The pro forma adjustment to income taxes is comprised of ($000's):

     The pro forma  effective tax rate  approximates  the  Company's  historical
effective tax rate.  The pro forma  provisions for taxes were computed using pro
forma pre-tax  amounts and the  provisions of Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 109.

F.    Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding:

     The pro forma  adjustment  to weighted  average  reflects the effect of the
acquisition of the Century 21 NORS,  which were acquired on April,  3, 1996. The
issuance  price per share  was  $49.83.  The  unaudited  Pro Forma  Consolidated
Statement of  Operations is presented as if the  acquisitions  took place at the
beginning of the period presented; thus, the stock issuance referred to above is
considered  outstanding  as of the  beginning  of the period for purposes of per
share calculations.

G.    Estimated selling and administrative cost savings:

     In connection with its  acquisitions,  HFS developed related business plans
to restructure each of the respective  acquired  companiesx which will result in
future cost savings subsequent to the acquisitions. HFS's restructuring plans in
each  case  were  developed   prior  to  the   consummation  of  the  respective
acquisitions  and  were  implemented  concurrent  with the  consummation  of the
acquisitions.  Restructuring  plans  included the  involuntary  termination  and
relocation of employees,  the  consolidation  and closing of facilities  and the
elimination of duplicative operating and overhead activities.  Pursuant to HFS's
specific  restructuring  plans,  certain  selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses may not be incurred  subsequent to each  acquisition that existed prior
to  consummation.  In addition,  there are  incremental  costs in the conduct of
activities of the acquired  companies prior to the acquisitions  that may not be
incurred  subsequent to consummation and have no future economic benefit to HFS.
The  estimated  cost savings that HFS believes  would have been attained had its
acquisitions  occurred  on January 1, 1995 and the  related  impact of such cost
savings on pro forma net income  and net income per share are not  reflected  in
the pro  forma  consolidated  statements  of  income,  but are  presented  below

                 PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

     The pro forma  statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995
is presented as if (i) the August 1, 1995  acquisition  of Century 21 and;  (ii)
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")  occurred on January 1, 1995. The acquisitions  have been 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,  based  upon  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 the  following  transactions  which are not
reflected in the pro forma statements of operations:

     On March 31, 1995, the Company acquired a 1% general  partnership  interest
for  approximately  $3.0 million in a limited  partnership  which will  develop,
promote  and  franchise  the newly  established  Wingate  Inn  franchise  system
("Wingate"), a new construction hotel brand. Wingate operations did not commence
until March 1995 and are not  material to the  Company's  financial  statements.
Accordingly,  this  transaction  is not  included in the pro forma  statement of
operations.

     On August 31, 1995, the Company acquired the assets  comprising the Knights
Inn hotel franchise  system, an economy hotel franchise system for approximately
$15 million  plus  expenses.  Knights  Inn  operations  are not  material to the
Company's financial statements. Accordingly, this transaction is not included in
the pro forma statement of operations.

     The pro forma consolidated  financial statement does not purport to present
the 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.  The pro forma
consolidated  statement of operations  does not reflect cost savings and revenue
enhancements   that   management   believes  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  alliance
programs.  No assurances can be made as to the amount of cost savings or revenue
enhancements, if any, that actually will be realized. The pro forma consolidated
financial statement is based on certain assumptions and adjustments described in
the Notes to Pro Forma  Consolidated  Statement of Operations and should be read
in  conjunction  therewith and with the  consolidated  financial  statements and
related  notes of the Company  included in their Annual  Report on Form 10-K and
the financial statements and related notes of the acquired companies included as
exhibits in Item 7 of Form 8-K of the Company dated April 5, 1996.

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,  expansion of its customer base
and the longevity of the casino gaming industry.

          Century 21

     The estimate  fair values of Century 21 property and  equipment,  franchise
agreements  and  excess  cost over fair value of net  assets  acquired  are $5.1
million, $33.5 million and $199.7 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.

      Century 21

     The pro forma adjustment  reflects the recording of interest expense on $70
million of borrowings  under HFS' revolving  credit facility at an interest rate
of  approximately  6.0%  which  was the  variable  rate in effect on the date of
borrowing. Borrowings represent the amount necessary to finance the initial cash
purchase price.

      Effect of 1/8% variance in variable interest rates

     As mentioned  above,  interest expense was incurred on borrowings under the
Company's  revolving credit facility,  which partially funded the acquisition of
Century 21. The Company recorded  interest  expense using the variable  interest
rate in effect  on the  borrowing  dates.  The  effect  on pro forma net  income
assuming  a 1/8%  variance  in the  variable  interest  rate  used to  calculate
interest expense is $26,000.  The pro forma net income effect of a 1/8% variance
in the  interest  rate has no  impact  on  earnings  per  share  for the  period
presented.

      Minority Interest - preferred dividends

     The pro forma adjustment  represents  dividends on the redeemable  Series A
Adjustable Rate Preferred Stock of Century 21 issued by Century 21.

G.    Estimated selling and administrative cost savings:

     In connection  with its  acquisition of Century 21, HFS developed a related
business plan to restructure the acquired  company,  which will result in future
cost  savings  subsequent  to the  acquisition.  HFS's  restructuring  plan  was
developed  prior to the  consummation  of the  acquisition  and was  implemented
concurrent with the  consummation of the  acquisition.  The  restructuring  plan
included  the  involuntary   termination   and  relocation  of  employees,   the
consolidation  and closing of  facilities  and the  elimination  of  duplicative
operating  and overhead  activities.  Pursuant to HFS's  specific  restructuring
plan, certain selling,  general and administrative  expenses may not be incurred
subsequent to the acquisition that existed prior to  consummation.  In addition,
there are incremental costs in the conduct of activities of the acquired company
prior to the acquisition that may not be incurred subsequent to consummation and
have no future  economic  benefit to HFS.  The  estimated  cost savings that HFS
believes would have been attained had its  acquisition of Century 21 occurred on
January  1, 1995 and the  related  impact of such cost  savings on pro forma net
income and net income per share are not reflected in the pro forma  consolidated
statements of income, but are presented below
