INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Administrative Committee of the
Cendant Membership Services, Inc. Savings Incentive Plan
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the Cendant Membership Services, Inc. Savings Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
(formerly the Savings Incentive Plan of CUC International, Inc.) as of December
31, 1997, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such 1997 financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31,
1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997 and (2) reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1997 are presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are 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. The Plan summary information by fund as
of December 31, 1997, and for the year then ended, is presented for the purpose
of additional analysis of the basic financial statements rather than to present
information regarding the net assets available for benefits and changes in net
assets available for benefits of the individual funds. The supplemental
schedules and information by fund are the responsibility of the Plan's
Administrative Committee. Such supplemental schedules and information by fund
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic
1997 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1996, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for
the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Cendant Membership Services, Inc. Savings
Incentive Plan (the "Plan") (formerly the Savings Incentive Plan of CUC
International, Inc.) provides only general information. Participants
should refer to the Summary Plan Description or the Plan documents, which
are available from Cendant Membership Services, Inc. (the "Company" or the
"Plan Sponsor"), for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan which provides retirement,
disability and death benefits to eligible employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company amended the Plan to provide for
monthly rather than quarterly entry dates, and to change the eligibility
service requirement to six months of employment from one year of service.
The Company also amended the Plan's definition of "compensation" to
include elective deferrals under the Plan and any elective contributions
under a cafeteria plan pursuant to Section 125 of the Internal Revenue
Code. In addition, the Company eliminated the Plan language limiting
elective deferrals by highly compensated employees (as defined) to 6% of
defined compensation, and amended the Plan to permit 401(k) participants
to change their deferral elections under the Plan on a monthly rather than
quarterly basis.
The Company also amended the Plan to permit in-service withdrawals from a
participant's pre-tax account and the vested portion of the Company
matching account upon the participant's attainment of age 59-1/2. The
Company removed from the Plan the requirement that installment
distributions from the Plan may not be made over a period longer than 20
years. Plan was amended to exclude certain employees from participation
in the Plan and clarified that certain workers are excluded from
participation, regardless of whether they are common law employees. A
provision in the Plan was made that a Plan loan shall become due within
sixty days of a participant's death, disability, retirement or other
termination of employment, rather than immediately thereafter.
Effective December 17, 1997 and coincident with the Cendant Merger (See
Note 6), the Company further amended the Plan by changing the definition
of "employer" and "Company" to reflect the change in Plan sponsorship.
Effective November 1, 1996, Fleet Financial Group ("Fleet") was replaced
by The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife") as the recordkeeper
of the Plan. Additionally, effective November 1, 1996, Fleet was replaced
by Neuberger & Berman Trust Company ("Neuberger & Berman") as the trustee
for the Cendant Corporation Company Stock Fund; and Chase Manhattan Bank
("Chase") as the trustee for the Equity Separate Fund and all other funds
of the Plan (with MetLife serving as Chase's agent for the other funds).
The following is a summary of certain plan provisions:
a. Eligibility - The Plan covers substantially all employees of the
Company who work in excess of 20 hours per week and its subsidiaries
who have been employed for at least six months and are age twenty-one
or older.
b. Contributions - Each year, participants may contribute up to 15%
of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. The Company
matches each participant's bi-weekly contribution dollar for dollar
of the first $27.69, $0.60 for each dollar of the next $36.93, and
$0.40 for each dollar of the next $27.69 up to a maximum of 6% of
pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, for a total
maximum match of $60.92 per bi-weekly pay period. Participants may
also contribute amounts representing transfers from other qualified
plans, which are not subject to the Company match.
c. Rollovers - All employees, upon commencement of employment, are
provided the option of making a rollover contribution to the Plan in
accordance with Internal Revenue Service regulations.
d. Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their contributions
plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company matching portion
of their accounts (plus actual earnings thereon) is based on years of
credited service. A participant is 100% vested after five years of
credited service.
e. Termination - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions
at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of
ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become
fully vested and will receive lump-sum distributions in an amount
equal to the value of their accounts.
f. Loan Provision - Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up
to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Loan terms
range from 1-5 years and are secured by the balance in the
participant's account. The loans bear interest at a rate commensurate
with local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by the plan
administrator and the trustee. Interest rates on outstanding loans
currently range from 7.16% to 11%. Principal and interest is paid
ratably through monthly payroll deductions.
g. Participant Accounts - Each participant's account is credited with
the participant's contributions and allocations of the Company's
contributions and Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant
earnings or account balances as defined. Forfeited balances of
terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to, at the
discretion of the committee, either pay administrative expenses of
the Plan or reduce future Company contributions. During the year
ended December 31, 1997, approximately $220,000 of net forfeited
balances were offset against Company contributions.
h. Benefits Payable - Upon termination of employment, a participant may
receive a lump-sum amount equal to the vested value of his or her
account. Distributions to terminated employees are recorded in the
financial statements when paid. Amounts payable to participants who
have terminated participation in the Plan were approximately $238,000
at December 31, 1997.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation - The accounting records of the Plan are maintained
on the accrual basis. All administrative expenses incurred in connection
with the operation of the plan are generally paid by the Company.
Valuation of Investments - The Plan's investments are stated at fair
value. Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at
the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year.
Investments traded on the over-the-counter market for which no sale was
reported on that date are valued at the average of the last reported bid
and ask prices. The shares of registered investment companies are valued
at the quoted market price which represent the net asset value of shares
held by the Plan at year-end. Loans to participants are valued at cost,
which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The change in the difference between the fair value and the cost of
investments which are held at each statement date is reflected as net
unrealized gains (losses) in the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits. The net realized gains (losses) on investments is
the difference between the proceeds received, after fees and expenses, and
the average cost of the investments sold.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that effect reported amounts and related
disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investments which exceeded 5% of net assets available for
benefits as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

5. INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE STATUS
The Plan is intended to be qualified under section 401 (a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and is intended to be exempt from
taxation under section 501 (a) of the Code. The Plan received a favorable
IRS determination letter dated September 7, 1995. The Plan has been
amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan
administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and
the related trust was tax exempt as of the financial statement date.
Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
financial statements.
6. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND PLAN MERGERS
1997
Cendant - In December 1997, Cendant Corporation was created through the
merger (the "Cendant Merger") of CUC International Inc. ("CUC") and HFS
Incorporated ("HFS") with CUC surviving and being renamed Cendant
Corporation ("Cendant" or the "Parent Company"). Cendant is a leading
global provider of consumer and business services including
technology-driven membership-based consumer services, travel services and
real estate services. The Company currently maintains each of the existing
employee savings plans of the merged companies.
Hebdo Mag - In October 1997, Cendant issued 14.2 million shares of its
common stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Hebdo Mag
International Inc. ("Hebdo Mag"). Employees of Hebdo Mag are eligible to
participate in the Plan effective July 1, 1998.
NUMA - In February 1997, Cendant issued 3.0 million shares of its common
stock for substantially all of the assets and specific liabilities of NUMA
Corporation ("NUMA"). NUMA maintained a profit sharing plan (consisting of
approximately $1.0 million in assets as of December 31, 1997), which was
terminated on December 31, 1997. Employees have the option of rolling over
their profit sharing plan assets into the Plan and became eligible for
participation in the Plan on January 1, 1998.
Davidson, Sierra and Ideon - In July 1996, Cendant issued 45.1 million
shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding capital stock of
Davidson & Associates, Inc. ("Davidson"). Also in July 1996, Cendant
issued 38.4 million shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding
capital stock of Sierra On-Line, Inc. ("Sierra"). In August 1996, Cendant
issued 16.6 million shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding
capital stock of Ideon Group, Inc. ("Ideon").
Davidson, Sierra and Ideon sponsored several retirement plans, which were
merged into the Plan. In connection with such plan mergers, plan assets of
approximately $4.1 million and $9.1 million were transferred into the Plan
during 1997 and 1998, respectively. The Company expects to transfer the
remaining assets from such plan mergers (having an asset value of
approximately $7.4 million at December 31, 1997) into the Plan during
1998.
North American Outdoor Group - Cendant merged the existing 401(k) plan of
its subsidiary, North American Outdoor Group (acquired in 1995), into the
Plan during the fourth quarter of 1996. In connection with such plan
merger, approximately $3.5 million of assets were transferred into the
Plan during 1997.
Other - Cendant acquired certain other entities during 1997 that maintain
401(k) plans (consisting of approximately $4.0 million of assets as of
December 31, 1997), which Cendant expects to merge into the Plan during
1998.
1996
Getting to Know You, Inc. - On March 31, 1996, the Employee Stock
Ownership and Savings Plan (the "ESOP") of Getting to Know You, Inc. (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) terminated and the related
participants were given the option to roll over their balances into the
Plan. During the year ended December 31, 1996, $7.1 million from the
ESOP was transferred to the Plan.
The aforementioned asset transfers into the Plan during 1997 and 1996 are
included in contributions rollovers in the statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996.
7. RECENT EVENTS
Cendant Restatement, Investigation and Litigation - On April 15, 1998,
Cendant announced that it had discovered accounting irregularities in
certain former CUC business units, which are part of Cendant's Alliance
Marketing segment (formerly the Membership segment) and the Audit
Committee of the Cendant's Board of Directors has initiated an
investigation into such matters. Accordingly, Cendant will restate annual
and quarterly net income and earnings per share for 1997 and may restate
certain other previous periods related to the former CUC businesses. The
investigation is expected to be completed during the summer of 1998.
Since the aforementioned Parent Company announcement, and prior to the
date hereof, class action lawsuits, certain legal actions and other legal
complaints have been filed against Cendant, its predecessor, CUC, and
certain current and former officers and directors of Cendant and CUC.
These complaints assert, among other things, claims under the federal
securities laws, and allege various breaches of fiduciary duty,
mismanagement and negligence. While it is not feasible to predict or
determine the final outcome of these proceedings, Cendant does not expect
these proceedings to have any material adverse impact on the Plan.
The aforementioned announcement resulted in a decline in the per share
price of the Parent Company common stock. At December 31, 1997, the
Cendant Corporation Company Stock Fund, valued at $49.7 million, was
comprised of 1,446,320 shares of Parent Company common stock which had a
closing price of $34.375. At July 2, 1998, the closing price of the Parent
Company common stock was $21.5625 per share. At $21.5625 per share, the
Cendant Corporation Company Stock Fund at December 31, 1997 would have
been valued at $31.2 million.
Cendant 1998 Acquisitions
a. Jackson Hewitt Inc. - On January 7, 1998, Cendant completed the
acquisition of Jackson Hewitt Inc. ("Jackson Hewitt"), for
approximately $480.0 million in cash. Jackson Hewitt operates the
second largest tax preparation service franchise system in the United
States with locations in 41 states. Jackson Hewitt franchises a
system of approximately 2,050 offices that specialize in computerized
preparation of federal and state individual income tax returns.
b. The Harpur Group Ltd. - On January 20, 1998, Cendant completed the
acquisition of The Harpur Group Ltd. ("Harpur"), a leading fuel card
and vehicle management company in the United Kingdom ("UK"), from
privately held H-G Holdings, Inc. for approximately $186.0 million in
cash plus future contingent payments of up to $20.0 million over the
next two years.
c. National Parking Corporation - On April 27, 1998, Cendant completed
the acquisition of National Parking Corporation ("NPC") for $1.3
billion in cash. NPC is the largest private (nonmunicipal) single car
park operator in the UK with approximately 500 locations. NPC has
also developed a broad-based roadside assistance group under the name
of Green Flag. Green Flag offers a wide-range of emergency support
and rescue services to approximately 3.5 million members.
d. Other - Cendant acquired certain other entities during the first
quarter of 1998 for an aggregate purchase price of $378.9 million.
Pending Cendant Acquisitions
Providian Auto and Home Insurance Company - On December 9, 1997, Cendant
executed a definitive agreement to acquire Providian Auto and Home
Insurance Company ("Providian") for approximately $219.0 million in cash.
Closing is subject to receipt of required regulatory approval which will
require restated financial statements of the Parent Company and other
customary conditions. Providian sells automobile insurance to consumers
through direct response marketing in 45 states and the District of
Columbia.
RAC Motoring Services - On May 1, 1998, Cendant signed a letter of intent
and entered into exclusive negotiations with Royal Automobile Club Limited
("RACL") to acquire their RAC Motoring Services subsidiary for
approximately $750.0 million in cash. Closing is subject to the execution
of a definitive agreement and approval by 75% of RACL's voting members and
is anticipated in the summer of 1998. RAC Motoring Services is the
second-largest roadside assistance company in the UK and also owns the
UK's largest driving school company.
American Bankers Insurance Group, Inc. - On March 23, 1998, Cendant
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire American Bankers Insurance
Group, Inc. ("American Bankers") for $67 per share in cash and stock, for
aggregate consideration of $3.1 billion. Cendant intends to purchase 23.5
million shares of American Bankers at $67 per share through its pending
cash tender offer, to be followed by a merger in which Cendant will
deliver its shares with a value of $67 for each remaining share of
American Bankers common stock outstanding. The Company has received
anti-trust clearance to acquire American Bankers. The tender offer is
subject to the receipt of tenders representing at least 51% of the common
stock of American Bankers as well as customary closing conditions. The
transaction is expected to be completed following the restatement of the
Parent Company's financial statements, receipt of and approval by American
Bankers' shareholders and receipt of required regulatory approvals, which
require restated financial statements. American Bankers provides
affordable, specialty insurance products and services through financial
institutions, retailers and other entities offering consumer financing.
In connection with the Company's acquisitions and pending acquisitions
noted above, the Company may elect to merge the employee savings plans of
such acquired companies into the Plan.
Plan Withdrawal
At March 20, 1998 approximately $7.5 million of assets was withdrawn from
the Company's Plan and transferred to Interval Holdings, Inc. Retirement
Savings Plan in connection with the sale in December 1997 of all of the
outstanding shares of Interval International Inc. ("Interval") by Cendant
and the subsequent departure of participants employed by Interval.
8. PARTY-IN-INTEREST
A portion of the plan investments are shares in a fund managed by MetLife,
the MetLife Stock Market Index Guarantee Fund. MetLife is the custodian of
these investments as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these
transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
9. PLAN SUMMARY BY FUND
The following tables represent the statements of net assets available for
benefits as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits, summarized by fund, for the years ended December 31,
