ii PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY INDICATED OR UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES, THE "COMPANY", "WE", "OUR" OR "US" MEANS AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION, AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES. This 10-K Report includes certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory factors. Please refer to "Management's Narrative and Analysis of the Results of Operations" for additional factors and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained in this 10-K Report. On March 1, 2001 all of our common stock not then owned by Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") was acquired by a subsidiary of PHH Corporation ("PHH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cendant, for approximately $994 million and we emerged as the surviving legal entity. At such time, our fleet management and fuel card businesses were sold to PHH. Accordingly, we are now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant. We operate portions of the second largest general use car rental brand in the world, based on total revenue and volume of rental transactions. We are the largest franchisee of the Avis-Registered Trademark- car rental system (the "Avis System"), which is owned by Cendant. The Avis System is comprised of approximately 4,800 rental locations (of which 1,713 are operated and/or franchised by Cendant), including locations at some of the largest airports and cities in the United States and foreign countries. We operate 867 Avis car rental locations in both airport and non-airport (downtown and suburban) locations in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we operated an average fleet of approximately 217,000 vehicles and generated total vehicle rental revenue of approximately $2.40 billion, of which approximately 90% was derived from U.S. operations. The Avis System provides our locations access to the benefits of a variety of services, including: (i) the "Avis Cares-Registered Trademark-" driver and travel safety program, (ii) a standardized system identity for rental location presentation and uniforms; (iii) a training program, business policies, quality of service standards and data designed to monitor service commitment levels; (iv) marketing/advertising/public relations support for national consumer promotions including Frequent Flyer/Frequent Stay programs and the avis.com Web site; and (v) brand awareness of the Avis System through the familiar "We Try Harder-Registered Trademark-" service announcements. We also have access to Cendant's Wizard-Registered Trademark- System, which provides (i) global reservations processing, (ii) rental agreement generation and administration and (iii) fleet accounting and control. We pay Cendant a fee for each use of the Wizard System. We also offer our corporate customers Avis InterActive-Registered Trademark-, which provides these customers real-time access to aggregated information on car rental expenses to better manage their car rental expenditures. GROWTH. The existing rental patterns of our business cause us to have excess capacity from Friday through Sunday. We intend to increase business during this period through a combination of advertising, targeted marketing programs to associations and customers of other Cendant brands and increased presence in the online arena. Our own Internet site, Avis.com, as well as other Internet travel sites, including Cendant's cheaptickets.com Web site, present good opportunities to grow our business and improve our profitability through enhanced utilization of our fleet. We also intend to continue to grow our share of the corporate market through normal contract negotiations and by seeking clients that may be affected by fleet constraints of certain of our competitors. FLEET MANAGEMENT. We participate in a variety of vehicle purchase programs with major domestic and foreign manufacturers, principally General Motors Corporation. Under the terms of our agreement with 1 GM, which expires in 2004, we are required to purchase a certain number of vehicles from GM and maintain at least 51% GM vehicles in our U.S. fleet. Our current operating strategy is to maintain an average fleet age of approximately six months. For model year 2001, approximately 99% of our domestic fleet vehicles were subject to repurchase programs. Under these programs, subject to certain conditions, such as mileage and vehicle condition, a manufacturer is required to repurchase those vehicles at a pre-negotiated price thereby eliminating our risk on the resale of the vehicles. In 2001, approximately 3% of repurchase program vehicles did not meet the conditions for repurchase. As a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks and the subsequent slowdown in commercial travel we reduced the size of our rental fleet by turning back vehicles under repurchase programs to manufacturers earlier than planned. MARKETING. In 2001, approximately 75% of vehicle rental transactions were generated in the United States by travelers who used the Avis System under contracts between us and their employers or organizations of which they were members. Unaffiliated business travelers are solicited by direct mail, telesales and advertising campaigns. Travel agents can make Avis System reservations by telephone, via our Web site, or through all major global distribution systems and can obtain access through these systems to our rental locations, vehicle availability and applicable rate structures. An automated link between these systems and the Wizard System gives them the ability to reserve and confirm rentals directly through these systems. We also maintain strong links to the travel industry. We have arrangements with frequent traveler programs of airlines such as Delta-Registered Trademark-, American-Registered Trademark-, Continental-Registered Trademark- and United-Registered Trademark-, and of hotels including the Hilton Corporation, Hyatt Corporation, Best Western, and Starwood Hotels and Resorts. These arrangements provide various incentives to all program participants and cooperative marketing opportunities for us and the partner. We also have an arrangement with Cendant's lodging brands whereby lodging customers who are making reservations by telephone will be transferred to us if they desire to rent a vehicle. Internationally, we utilize a multi-faceted approach to sales and marketing throughout our global network by employing teams of trained and qualified account executives to negotiate contracts with major corporate accounts and leisure and travel industry partners. In addition, we utilize centralized telemarketing and direct mail initiatives to continuously broaden our customer base. Sales efforts are designed to secure customer commitment and support customer requirements for both domestic and international car rental needs. Our international operations maintain close relationships with the travel industry including participation in several airline frequent flyer programs, such as those operated by Air Canada-Registered Trademark-, Varig-Registered Trademark- and Brazilian Airlines, as well as participation in Avis Europe's programs with British Airways-Registered Trademark-, Lufthansa-Registered Trademark- and other carriers. AVIS.COM. We have a strong brand presence on the Internet through our Web site, WWW.AVIS.COM. A steadily increasing number of Avis vehicle rental customers obtain rate, location and fleet information and then reserve their Avis rentals directly on the Avis.com Web site. In addition, customers electing to use other internet services such as Expedia-Registered Trademark-, Travelocity-Registered Trademark- and America Online-Registered Trademark- for their travel plans also have access to Avis reservations. During 2001, reservations through Internet sources increased to 9.5% of total reservations from 7.4% in the prior year. COMPETITION. The vehicle rental industry is characterized by intense price and service competition. In any given location, we may encounter competition from national, regional and local companies, many of which, particularly those owned by the major automobile manufacturers, have greater resources than the Avis System. Nationally, our principal competitor is The Hertz Corporation; however, we also compete with Budget Rent A Car Corporation, National Car Rental System, Inc., Alamo Rent-A-Car, LLC, Dollar Rent A Car Systems, Inc. and Thrifty Rent-A-Car System, Inc. In addition, we compete with a large number of regional and local smaller vehicle rental companies throughout the country. Competition in the U.S. vehicle rental operations business is based primarily upon price, reliability, ease of rental and return and other elements of customer service. In addition, competition is influenced strongly by advertising and marketing. In part, because of the Wizard System and Avis Interactive, we have been particularly successful in competing for commercial accounts. 2 TRADEMARKS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The service mark "Avis," related marks incorporating the word "Avis", and related logos are material to us. We actively use these marks. All of the material marks we use are registered (or have applications pending for registration) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as well as major countries worldwide where we operate. Cendant owns the marks we use. We pay Cendant a royalty fee of 4.0% of revenue for the use of the Avis trade name. The royalty of 4.0% consists of a base royalty of 3.0% of gross revenue and a supplemental royalty of 1.0% of the gross revenue payable quarterly in arrears, which will increase periodically to a maximum of 1.5% in 2003. SEASONALITY. The third quarter of the year, which covers the summer vacation period, represents the peak season for vehicle rentals. Any occurrence that disrupts travel patterns during the summer period could have a material adverse effect on our annual performance. The fourth quarter is generally our weakest financial quarter. In 2001, our average monthly rental fleet, excluding sub-franchisees, ranged from a low of 184,000 vehicles in November to a high of 244,000 vehicles in August. Rental utilization, which is based on the number of hours vehicles are rented compared to the total number of hours vehicles are available for rental, ranged from 66.7% in December to 82.6% in August and averaged 74.4% for all of 2001. INSURANCE. We generally assume the risk of liability to third parties arising from vehicle rental services in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, for up to $1.0 million per occurrence, through a combination of certificates of self-insurance, insurance coverage provided by our domestic subsidiary and insurance coverage secured from an unaffiliated domestic insurance carrier. We maintain additional insurance in excess of such level up to $9 million per occurrence through an unaffiliated fronting carrier, and up to an additional $300 million per occurrence through a combination of unaffiliated excess carriers. Prior to July 27, 2001, we assumed the risk of liability to third parties for up to $1.0 million per occurrence and maintained excess coverage public liability insurance with unaffiliated carriers up to $203 million per occurrence. We insure the risk of liability to third parties in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand through a combination of unaffiliated carriers and our wholly-owned subsidiary. These carriers provide coverage supplemental to minimum local requirements. A traditional revenue source for the vehicle rental industry has been the sale of loss damage waivers, by which rental companies agree to relieve a customer from financial responsibility arising from vehicle damage incurred during the rental period. Approximately 3.2% of our vehicle operations revenue during 2001 was generated by the sale of loss damage waivers. Approximately 40 states have considered legislation affecting the sale of loss damage waivers. To date, 24 states have enacted legislation which requires disclosure to each customer at the time of rental that damage to the rented vehicle may be covered by the customer's personal automobile insurance and that loss damage waivers may not be necessary. New York does not permit us to offer loss damage waivers for sale and limits potential customer liability to $100.00. Moreover, Nevada has capped rates for loss damage waivers at $15.00. California has capped these rates at either $9.00 per day for cars with an MSRP of $19,000 or less, or $15.00 per day for cars with an MSRP of $19,000 to $34,999, but there is no cap for cars with an MSRP of $35,000 or more. REGULATION. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations including those relating to taxing and licensing of vehicles, franchising, consumer credit, environmental protection and labor matters. The principal environmental regulatory requirements applicable to our vehicle rental operations relate to the ownership or use of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and waste oils; the treatment or discharge of waste waters; and the generation, storage, transportation and off-site treatment or disposal of solid or liquid wastes. We operate 271 locations at which petroleum products are stored in underground or aboveground tanks. We have instituted an environmental compliance program designed to ensure that these tanks are in compliance with applicable technical and operational requirements, including the replacement and upgrade of underground tanks to comply with the December 1998 EPA upgrade mandate and periodic testing and leak monitoring of underground storage tanks. We believe that the locations where we currently operate are in compliance, in all material respects, with such regulatory requirements. 3 We may also be subject to requirements related to the remediation of, or the liability for remediation of, substances that have been released to the environment at properties owned or operated by us or at properties to which we send substances for treatment or disposal. Such remediation requirements may be imposed without regard to fault and liability for environmental remediation and may be substantial. We may be eligible for reimbursement or payment of remediation costs associated with future releases from our regulated underground storage tanks and have established funds to assist in the payment of remediation costs for releases from certain registered underground tanks. Subject to certain deductibles, the availability of funds, compliance status of the tanks and the nature of the release, these tank funds may be available to us for use in remediating future releases from our tank systems. We are also subject to regulation under the insurance statutes, including insurance holding company statutes, of the jurisdictions in which our insurance company subsidiaries are domiciled. These regulations vary from state to state, but generally require insurance holding companies and insurers that are subsidiaries of insurance holding companies to register and file certain reports including information concerning their capital structure, ownership, financial condition and general business operations with the state regulatory authority, and require prior regulatory agency approval of changes in control of an insurer and intercorporate transfers of assets within the holding company structure. Such insurance statutes also require that we obtain limited licenses to sell optional insurance coverage to our customers at the time of rental. The payment of dividends to us by our insurance company subsidiaries is restricted by government regulations in Colorado, Bermuda and Barbados affecting insurance companies domiciled in those jurisdictions. EMPLOYEES. As of December 31, 2001, we employed approximately 18,000 people. Management considers our employee relations to be satisfactory. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our principal executive offices are located in a facility owned by Cendant at 6 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054. We lease a portion of a 158,000 square foot facility in Virginia Beach, Virginia, owned by Cendant which serves as a satellite administrative office for our rental car operations. We also sublease space from Cendant in Tulsa, Oklahoma for certain marketing activities. In addition, there are approximately 19 leased office locations in the United States. We lease or have vehicle rental concessions relating to space at 676 locations in the United States and 191 locations outside the United States utilized in connection with our vehicle rental operation. Of those locations, 224 in the United States and 82 outside the United States are airports. Typically, an airport receives a percentage of vehicle rental revenues, with a guaranteed minimum. Because there is a limit to the number of vehicle rental locations in an airport, vehicle rental companies frequently bid for the available locations, usually on the basis of the size of the guaranteed minimums. We and other vehicle lease firms also lease parking space at or near airports and at other vehicle rental locations. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS After the April 15, 1998 announcement by Cendant of the discovery of accounting irregularities in its former CUC International, Inc. ("CUC") business units, and prior to the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, approximately 70 lawsuits claiming to be class actions, three lawsuits claiming to be brought derivatively on behalf of Cendant and several other lawsuits and arbitration proceedings were filed in various courts against Cendant and other defendants. In addition, the SEC and the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey conducted investigations relating to accounting irregularities. The investigation of the SEC as to Cendant concluded on June 14, 2000 when Cendant consented to an entry of an Order Instituting Public Administration 4 Proceedings in which the SEC found that Cendant had violated certain record-keeping provisions of the federal securities laws, Sections 13(a) and 13 (b) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-13, 13b2-1, and ordered Cendant to cease and desist from committing or causing any violation and any future violation of those provisions. On December 7, 1999, Cendant announced that it reached an agreement in principle to settle the principal securities class action pending against it in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. In a settlement agreement executed March 17, 2000, Cendant agreed to pay the class members approximately $2.85 billion in cash. On August 15, 2000, the District Court approved the settlement and the plan of allocation of the settlement proceeds and awarded fees and expenses to counsel for the Class. Certain parties who objected to the settlement, the plan of allocation or the award of attorneys' fees and expenses appealed the District Court's orders to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In August 2001, the Third Circuit affirmed the District Court's order approving the settlement and plan of allocation. On January 2, 2002, one party who had objected to the plan of allocation before the District Court and unsuccessfully appealed the District Court's approval of the plan of allocation filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Third Circuit's decision affirming the approval of the plan of allocation. The Supreme Court denied the petition in an order dated March 18, 2002. As of December 31, 2001, Cendant has made payments totaling $1.4 billion to a fund established for the benefit of the plaintiffs in this lawsuit. Cendant intends to continue making quarterly payments of $250 million to such fund. Cendant will be required to fund the remaining balance by mid-July 2002. Cendant anticipates funding such amount from a combination of available cash, operating cash flow and, if necessary, revolving credit facility borrowings. Cendant is involved in litigation asserting claims associated with the accounting irregularities discovered in former CUC business units outside of the principal common stockholder class action litigation. Cendant does not believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the final outcome or resolution of these proceedings. However, Cendant does not believe that the impact of such proceedings should result in a material liability to us in relation to our consolidated financial position or liquidity. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Omitted pursuant to General Instruction I (2) of Form 10-K. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS On March 1, 2001 we became a subsidiary of Cendant Corporation. Accordingly, as of March 1, 2001, there is no public market for our common stock. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA Omitted pursuant to General Instruction I (2) of Form 10-K. 5 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE HEREIN. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE IN THOUSANDS AND PRESENTED BEFORE TAXES (AS APPROPRIATE). We are the second largest general use car rental brand in the world. On March 1, 2001, all of our outstanding common stock not then owned by Cendant Corporation was acquired by PHH Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant, for approximately $994 million and we emerged as the surviving legal entity. At such time, our fleet management and fuel card businesses were sold to PHH and, therefore, are presented as a discontinued operation in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, we are now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Certain of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used were the most appropriate, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Accordingly, we have reviewed the accounting policies of our business to identify those policies where we are required to make particularly subjective and complex judgments. We operate in an environment where we are paid a fee for a service performed, and therefore, the majority of our operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex. Following is a description of those accounting policies which we believe require subjective and complex judgments and could potentially affect reported results. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage and reduce the interest rate risk primarily related to our floating rate debt. Effective January 1, 2001, we account for our derivatives at fair value on the balance sheet in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The application of SFAS No. 133 is complex, as evidenced by amendments and significant interpretations to the original standard, which continue to evolve. Our derivatives and other financial instruments are not exchange traded. Values are determined by the present value of future cash flows, which may involve significant judgments and estimates in the absence of quoted market prices. These estimates are based on valuation methodologies deemed appropriate in the circumstances, however, the use of different assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts recorded in the financial statements. In addition, hedge accounting requires that at the beginning of each hedge period, we justify an expectation that the relationship between the changes in fair value of derivatives designated as hedges compared to changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying hedged items be highly effective. This effectiveness assessment involves estimation of changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates, as well as the probability of the occurrence of transactions for cash flow hedges. Use of different assumptions and changing market conditions may impact the results of the effectiveness assessment and ultimately the timing of when changes in derivative fair values are recorded in earnings. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. We have reviewed the carrying value of all our goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with the implementation of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," by comparing such amounts to their fair values. We determined that the carrying amounts of all our goodwill and other intangible assets did not exceed their respective fair values. Accordingly, the initial implementation of this standard will not impact earnings during 2002. We are required to perform this comparison at least annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate possible impairment. When determining fair value, we utilize various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows. A change in these underlying assumptions will cause a change in the results of the tests and, as such, could cause fair 6 value to be less than the carrying amounts. In such event, we would then be required to record a corresponding charge, which would impact earnings. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--2001 VS. 2000 The acquisition of the Company by Cendant resulted in significant changes to the valuation of certain of our assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity. The periods prior to the acquisition have been designated "Predecessor Companies" and the period subsequent to the acquisition has been designated "Successor Company". The results of the Predecessor Companies and the Successor Company have been combined for the year ended December 31, 2001 since we believe that separate discussions for the two months ended February 28, 2001 and the ten months ended December 31, 2001 are not meaningful in terms of our operating results or comparisons to the prior year. Our comparative results of operations, excluding our former fleet management and fuel card businesses, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 comprised the following:
PREDECESSOR COMPANIES ----------- 2001 2000 CHANGE ---------- ----------- --------- Revenues $2,387,780 $2,613,476 $(225,696) ---------- ---------- --------- Expenses, excluding unusual charges and non-vehicle interest 2,398,796 2,405,500 (6,704) Unusual charges 48,559 -- 48,559 Non-vehicle interest 52,512 108,872 (56,360) ---------- ---------- --------- Total expenses 2,499,867 2,514,372 (14,505) ---------- ---------- --------- Income (loss) income taxes (112,087) 99,104 (211,191) Provision (benefit) for income taxes (29,868) 42,740 (72,608) ---------- ---------- --------- Income (loss) from continuing operations $ (82,219) $ 56,364 $(138,583) ========== ========== =========
Our revenue decreased 8.6% principally due to a corresponding reduction in car rental transaction volume, which primarily resulted from reduced demand at airport locations due to a general decline in commercial travel throughout the year, which was further exacerbated by the September 11th terrorist attacks. We expect that seasonally adjusted car rental volume will continue to increase as air travel volumes rebound. Total expenses decreased 5.7% primarily due to a 51.8% reduction in our net non-vehicle interest expense, which principally resulted from the retirement of $1.0 billion of debt in August 2000. Such decrease was partially offset by unusual charges incurred during 2001 in response to the slowdown in commercial travel and in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Such charges primarily consisted of $38.3 million in connection with the rationalization of our rental fleet (the fleet was downsized by approximately 10%). We believe that we have rightsized our operations to meet anticipated business levels. Our benefit for income taxes was $29.9 million in 2001, or an effective tax rate of 26.6%, compared to a provision of $42.7 million in 2000, or an effective tax rate of 43.1%. The effective tax rate variance represents the impact of non-deductible goodwill resulting from Cendant's acquisition of us on March 1, 2001. As a result of the above-mentioned items, income from continuing operations decreased $139 million. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in its entirety. SFAS No. 142 addresses the financial accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This standard eliminates the amortization of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be 7 amortized over their estimated useful lives. We will be required to assess goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Effective January 1, 2002, we have reassessed the useful lives assigned to our intangible assets acquired in transactions consummated prior to June 30, 2001 and the related amortization methodology. Accordingly, we identified those intangible assets that have indefinite lives, adjusted the future amortization periods of certain intangible assets appropriately and changed our amortization methodology where appropriate. Based upon a preliminary assessment, we expect that the increase in pre-tax net income from the application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 would have approximated $27.0 million, $2.0 million, $13.1 million and $13.2 million for the ten months ended December 31, 2001, the two months ended February 28, 2001 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As previously described, the initial implementation of this standard will not impact our results of operations during 2002. IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. During October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and replaces the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," as it relates to the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 requires the use of a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations, by requiring those long-lived assets to be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The impairment recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 121 were retained for all long-lived assets to be held and used with the exception of goodwill. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2002. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Forward-looking statements in our public filings or other public statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements 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. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "project", "estimates", "plans", "may increase", "may fluctuate" and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", "may" and "could" are generally forwardlooking in nature and not historical facts. You should understand that the following important factors and assumptions could affect our future results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements: - the impacts of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. on the travel industry in general, and our travel business in particular, are not fully known at this time, but are expected to include negative impacts on financial results due to reduced demand for travel in the near term; other attacks, acts of war; or measures taken by governments in response thereto may negatively affect the travel industry, our financial results and could also result in a disruption in our business; - the effect of economic conditions and interest rate changes on the economy on a national, regional or international basis and the impact thereof on our business; 8 - the effects of a decline in travel, due to political instability, adverse economic conditions or otherwise, on our business; - the effects of changes in current interest rates; - competition in the car rental industry and the financial resources of, and products available to, competitors; - our failure to provide fully integrated disaster recovery technology solutions in the event of a disaster; - our ability to integrate and operate successfully as an acquired and merged business, including the compatibility of the operating systems, and the degree to which our existing administrative and back-office functions and costs are complementary or redundant; - our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms to finance our growth strategy and to operate within the limitations imposed by financing arrangements and to maintain our credit ratings; - our ability to obtain external financing in the event we are unable to obtain financing from Cendant; - competitive and pricing pressures in the car rental industry; - changes in vehicle manufacturer repurchase arrangements in the event that used vehicle values decrease; - and changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards and privacy policy regulation. 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. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us and our businesses generally. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK We use various financial instruments, particularly interest rate swaps and also interest rate caps to manage and reduce the interest rate risk related specifically to our asset-backed securities. We are exclusively an end user of these instruments, which are commonly referred to as derivatives. We do not engage in trading, market-making, or other speculative activities in the derivatives markets. Our principal market exposures are to interest rate movements both in one country, as well as relative interest rate movements between countries. Our primary interest rate exposures are to interest rate fluctuations in the United States, specifically LIBOR and commercial paper interest rates due to their impact on variable rate borrowings. We anticipate that such interest rates will remain a primary market exposure for the foreseeable future. We assess our market risk based on changes in interest 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 and decrease) in interest rates. 9 We use a duration-based model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts on our debt portfolio and interest rate derivatives portfolios. The primary assumption used in this model is that a 10% increase or decrease in the benchmark interest rate produces a parallel shift in the yield curve across all maturities. Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including the volatility present within the markets and the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analyses presented. While probably the most meaningful analysis permitted, these "shock tests" are constrained by several factors, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled. We used December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analyses separately for our market risk exposures. The estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. We have determined that the impact of a 10% change in interest rates and prices on our earnings, fair values and cash flows would not be material. While these results may be used as benchmarks, they should not be viewed as forecasts. ITEM 8.

F-1 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. Parsippany, New Jersey We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (successor to Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. and subsidiaries, Avis Fleet Leasing and Management Corp., and subsidiaries and Reserve Claims Management Co., collectively the "Predecessor Companies") (collectively referred to as the "Company") as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period March 1, 2001 (Date of Acquisition) to December 31, 2001 and as to the Predecessor Companies, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations, common stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period January 1, 2001 to February 28, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period March 1, 2001 (Date of Acquisition) to December 31, 2001, and with respect to the Predecessor Companies, the financial position as of December 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period January 1, 2001 to February 28, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2001, the Company modified the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP New York, New York January 23, 2002 F-2 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F-7 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION Avis Group Holdings, Inc. is a holding company that operates, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Avis Rent A Car System, Inc., the second largest general use car rental brand in the world. On March 1, 2001, all the Company's common stock not then owned by Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") was acquired by a subsidiary of PHH Corporation ("PHH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant, for approximately $994 million with the Company emerging as the surviving legal entity. The Company assumed intercompany indebtedness of $937 million through the acquisition. Simultaneous with the acquisition, the Company's fleet management and fuel card businesses were sold to PHH. The Company received proceeds of $800 million from the sale of these businesses, which were used by the Company to repay a portion of the intercompany indebtedness it assumed in connection with the acquisition (See Note 9--Due to (from) Cendant Corporation and Affiliates, Net). Simultaneous with the acquisition, the Company became a Cendant subsidiary not within the PHH ownership structure. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2001 and for the period March 1, 2001 (Date of Acquisition) to December 31, 2001 include the financial statements of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "the Company" or "Successor Company"). The Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2000 for the two months ended February 28, 2001 and years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 include the financial statements of the Company and its former fleet management and fuel card businesses, which are presented as a discontinued operation (the "Predecessor Companies"). The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, the Company's assets and liabilities were adjusted to their estimated fair values as of March 1, 2001. The purchase price has been allocated among the Predecessor Companies based upon their estimated fair values as of March 1, 2001. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities was allocated to goodwill and was being amortized over 40 years on a straight-line basis until the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," as discussed below. The allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows:
AMOUNT ---------- Cash consideration $ 937,554 Fair value of converted options 17,000 Transaction costs and expenses 40,000 ---------- Total purchase price 994,554 Book value of Cendant's existing net investment in Avis Group 408,779 ---------- Cendant's basis in Predecessor Companies. 1,403,333 Portion of basis attributable to fleet management and fuel card businesses (987,822) ---------- Cendant's basis in the Successor Company 415,511 Intercompany loan assumed by Successor Company (137,554) ---------- Cendant's adjusted basis in Successor Company 277,957 Fair value of liabilities assumed in excess of assets acquired of Successor Company 996,110 ---------- Goodwill $1,274,067 ==========
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. F-8 In presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Assets used by the Company to generate revenue are classified as assets under management programs. Funding for such assets is primarily provided by secured financing arrangements, which are classified as debt under management programs. Revenues generated from these assets are used, in part, to repay the interest and principal associated with the financial liabilities. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation and acquisition of assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of the Company's management programs. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized over the period the vehicle is rented. ADVERTISING EXPENSE Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred and approximated $41.0 million, $15.1 million, $76.7 million and $79.7 million for the ten months ended December 31, 2001, the two months ended February 28, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company utilizes the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and applies Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its former stock option plans to employees and Cendant's stock option plans to the Company's employees. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates. As a matter of policy, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. - All derivatives are recorded at fair value either as assets or liabilities. - The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is reported currently in earnings as a component of net non-vehicle interest expense. - Amounts included in other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged item affects earnings. ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS The Company's operations include the storage and dispensing of gasoline. The Company accrues losses associated with the remediation of accidental fuel discharges when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Accruals for estimated losses from environmental remediation obligations are generally recognized no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. The liability may include costs such as site investigations, consultant fees, feasibility studies, outside contractor and monitoring expenses. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. F-9 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers unrestricted deposits and short-term investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. RESTRICTED CASH Restricted cash includes cash and investments that are not readily available for normal Company disbursements, including certain amounts that have been set aside as required under the Company's debt covenants to satisfy the Company's insurance related and other commitments. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation, recorded as a component of non-vehicle depreciation and amortization on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Useful lives range from 5 to 30 years for buildings and improvements and 5 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Amortization of leasehold improvements, also recorded as a component of non-vehicle depreciation and amortization, is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period of the related assets or the lease term, if shorter, generally ranging from 2 to 10 years. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES All intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 and intangible assets with finite lives acquired after June 30, 2001 were amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated periods to be benefited. Other intangible assets with finite lives are generally amortized over 20 years. Goodwill resulting from purchase business combinations consummated prior to June 30, 2001 was amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period to be benefited of 40 years. For business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were not amortized during 2001 in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, as of January 1, 2002, the Company will not amortize any goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. The recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets was evaluated on a separate basis for each acquisition by comparing the respective carrying value to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, as of January 1, 2002, the Company will be required to assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. VEHICLES DEPRECIATION AND LEASE CHANGES, NET Rental vehicles are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Vehicles are depreciated at rates ranging from 11% to 28% per annum based on manufacturer repurchase programs. Depreciation expense is net of the amortization of certain incentives and allowances provided by various vehicle manufacturers. Gains or losses on the sale of vehicles are reflected as an adjustment to depreciation expense. ASSET IMPAIRMENTS The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, with the exception of goodwill and indentifiable intangible assets, by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such assets. PUBLIC LIABILITY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND OTHER INSURANCE LIABILITIES, NET Insurance liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets include additional liability insurance, personal effects protection insurance, public liability, property damage and personal F-10 accident insurance claims for which the Company is self-insured. The insurance liabilities include a provision for both claims reported to the Company as well as claims incurred but not yet reported to the Company. This method is an actuarially accepted loss reserve method. Adjustments to this estimate and differences between estimates and the amounts subsequently paid are reflected as a component of operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as they occur. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. On July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which prohibits the use of the pooling of interests method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination and requires additional disclosures for material business combinations completed after such date. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, intangible assets required to be reclassified to goodwill were not material. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. As required by SFAS No. 133, the Company has recorded all such derivatives at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in the recognition of a non-cash charge of $10.9 million ($7.6 million, after tax) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations to account for the cumulative effect of the accounting change relating to derivatives not designated as hedges. The Company also recognized a cumulative-effect-type adjustment in the amount of $2.4 million ($1.5 million, after tax) in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheet attributable to derivatives designated as cash-flow-like hedges prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 133. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in its entirety. SFAS No. 142 addresses the financial accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This standard eliminates the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company will be required to assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company has reassessed the useful lives assigned to its intangible assets acquired in transactions consummated prior to June 30, 2001 and the related amortization methodology. Accordingly, the Company identified those intangible assets that have indefinite lives, adjusted the future amortization periods of certain intangible assets appropriately and changed amortization methodologies where appropriate. Based upon a preliminary assessment, the Company expects that the increase in pre-tax net income from the application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 would have approximated $27.0 million, $2.0 million, $13.1 million and $13.2 million for the ten months ended December 31, 2001, the two months ended February 28, 2001 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company reviewed the carrying value of all its goodwill and other intangible assets by comparing such amounts to their fair value and determined that the carrying amounts of such assets did not exceed their respective fair values. Accordingly, the initial implementation of this standard will not result in a charge and, as such, will not impact the Company's results of operations during 2002. IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. During October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived F-11 Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and replaces the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," as it relates to the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 requires the use of a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations, by requiring those long-lived assets to be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The impairment recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 121 were retained for all long-lived assets to be held and used with the exception of goodwill. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2002. 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Summarized financial data of discontinued operations of the Predecessor Companies is as follows:
TWO MONTHS YEARS ENDED ENDED DECEMBER 31, FEBRUARY 28, --------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ------------ ---------- -------- Revenues $ 255,548 $1,630,208 $831,981 ========= ========== ======== Income before provision for income taxes $ 9,992 $ 116,774 $ 74,369 Provision for income taxes 5,045 52,462 32,987 --------- ---------- -------- Net income $ 4,947 $ 64,312 $ 41,382 ========= ========== ========
No gain or loss was recognized on the sale of the Company's former fleet management and fuel card businesses. The provision for income taxes of discontinued operations include certain intercompany charges from the Predecessor Companies for costs it had incurred on behalf of the fleet management and fuel card businesses as follows:
TWO MONTHS YEARS ENDED ENDED DECEMBER 31, FEBRUARY 28, ------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ------------ -------- -------- Interest on intercompany loans $ 342 $ 6,230 $5,516 Employee benefits costs 963 5,824 -- --------- ------- ------ $ 1,305 $12,054 $5,516 ========= ======= ======
F-12 Net assets of discontinued operations as of December 31, 2000 consisted of:

3. UNUSUAL CHARGES During the ten month period ended December 31, 2001, the Company incurred unusual charges of $48.6 million primarily in connection with the September 11th terrorist attacks. Such unusual charges primarily consisted of $38.3 million in connection with the rationalization of the Company's rental fleet in response to anticipated levels of volume following the September 11th terrorist attack, $2.9 million for severance costs, $1.9 million for marketing program cancellations and $5.5 million in other costs. 4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION ACQUISITIONS During the ten months ended December 31, 2001, the Company purchased all the common stock of three domestic franchisees for approximately $28.6 million. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill and approximated $23.7 million. Goodwill resulting from acquisitions consummated prior to June 30, 2001 was being amortized over 40 years on a straight-line basis until the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The Company purchased franchisees in 1999 for $59.4 million. These acquisitions were not significant on a pro forma basis. DISPOSITION In August 2000, the Company formed a joint venture with BNP Paribas ("BNP"), whereby BNP acquired 80% interest in the joint venture and the Company retained 20% interest, and the joint venture acquired all the stock of PHH Europe, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In return, the Company received approximately $954 million in cash including the repayment of intercompany indebtedness from PHH Europe. No gain or loss was recognized on the disposition. 5. INCOME TAXES The Company files its own U.S. consolidated federal income tax return and files separate income tax returns in states where a consolidated return is not permitted. Subsequent to March 1, 2001, the Company files consolidated and combined state income tax returns with Cendant in jurisdictions F-13 where permitted. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using rates in effect in the years in which the differences expect to be realized. The income tax provision (benefit) consisted of:

------------------------ (a) The valuation allowance of $16 million relates to deferred tax assets for the state net operating loss carryforward. The valuation allowance will be reduced when and if the Company determines that the deferred income tax assets are likely to be realized. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $357.2 million. These carryforwards expire as follows: 2004, $92.5 million; 2007, $67.7 million; 2008, $41.0 million; 2009, $18.3 million; 2010, $1.1 million; 2017, $83.7 million; 2018, $1.1 million; 2019, $36.0 million and 2021, $15.8 million. No provision has been made for U.S. federal deferred income taxes on approximately $104.0 million of accumulated and undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 since it is the present intention of management to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely in those foreign operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of unrecognized U.S. federal deferred income tax liability for unremitted earnings is not practicable. The Company's effective income tax rate for continuing operations differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate as follows:

Funding for the Company's working capital and trading needs is provided by Cendant. Such intercompany funding accrues interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points for amounts borrowed up to $155 million and LIBOR plus 140 basis points for borrowings exceeding such amount. On June 29, 2001, Cendant borrowed $155 million of the Company's restricted cash in return for a demand note. Due to Cendant--long-term represents (i) the remaining debt of $137 million the Company assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Company by PHH (see Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and (ii) $368 million of funding the Company received from Cendant to repay its then-existing revolving credit facility borrowings, $125 million of which was subsequently forgiven by Cendant (see Note 10--Non-Vehicle Debt). Such funding bears interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points. Expenses of the Company include the following items charged by Cendant and affiliates. These charges include allocations from Cendant for services provided to the Company, which consist of:

F-17 On the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the royalty and reservation charges are included within selling, general and administration expenses, the rent and data processing expenses are included within operating expenses and interest expenses are included within net non-vehicle interest, net. These charges are determined in accordance with various intercompany agreements and include certain corporate overhead allocations, which are based upon factors, such as square footage, employee salaries and computer usage time. Additionally, Cendant charges the Company a royalty fee of 4.0% of revenue for the use of its Avis trade name. Such fee consists of a base royalty of 3.0% of the gross revenue and a supplemental royalty of 1.0% of the gross revenue payable quarterly in arrears and will increase periodically to a maximum of 1.5% in 2003. During the ten months ended December 31, 2001, the two months ended February 28, 2001 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company earned vehicle rental revenue of approximately $44.7 million, $7.5 million, $61.3 million and $63.6 million, respectively, from Cendant and its affiliates. 10. NON-VEHICLE DEBT Non-vehicle debt consisted of:

The Company's 11% senior subordinated notes are due in May 2009. The Company recorded such notes at fair value on March 1, 2001 in connection with the acquisition of the Company by Cendant. The notes are subordinated in the right of payment to all the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness and are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The notes are redeemable at the Company's option at the appropriate redemption prices plus accrued interest through the redemption date either (i) in part prior to May 2002 upon the occurrence of specific events or (ii) at any time, in whole or in part, after May 2004. During 2001, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under its then-existing revolving credit facility and terminated such facility. The senior subordinated notes contain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness of material subsidiaries, mergers, limitations on liens, and liquidations. At December 31, 2001, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants. F-18 11. VEHICLE DEBT Vehicle debt consisted of:

Vehicle debt represents asset-backed funding arrangements whereby the Company or its wholly-owned and consolidated special purpose entities issue debt or enter into loans secured by the cash flows derived from the Company's vehicles. The Company's vehicle debt is primarily issued under its AESOP Funding program. AESOP Funding is a domestic financing program that provides for the issuance of up to $4.45 billion of variable rate notes to support the Company's operations. All debt issued under this program is collateralized by vehicles owned by the Company. Such vehicles are generally covered by agreements whereby manufacturers guarantee a specified repurchase price for vehicles. However, the program will allow funding for 25% of vehicles not covered by such agreements. The titles to all of the vehicles supporting this facility are held in a bankruptcy remote trust and the Company acts as a servicer of all the vehicles. All of the debt issued under this program is classified as debt under management programs on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Secured commercial paper matures within 270 days. During 2001 and 2000, the weighted average interest rates on the Company's commercial paper notes were 2.1% and 6.6%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the auction rate notes was 2.15% during 2001. The interest rate on such notes is expected to change every 35 days as it is a market derived rate determined by auction. The weighted average interest rate on the medium-term notes was 5.61% and 6.37% during 2001 and 2000, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, aggregate maturities of vehicle debt are as follows:
AMOUNT ---------- 2002 $ 982,562 2003 729,814 2004 704,323 2005 1,000,000 2006 -- Thereafter 354,642 ---------- $3,771,341 ==========
12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Consistent with its risk management policies, the Company manages interest rate risks using derivative instruments. The Company's asset backed debt is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Company's hedging strategy is to use derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps and caps, to create a desired mix of fixed and floating rate debt. F-19 The Company uses cash flow hedges to manage the interest expense incurred on its floating rate debt. During the ten months ended December 31, 2001 and the two months ended February 28, 2001, the interest rate swaps used by the Company to manage its fixed rate debt were perfectly effective and, therefore, had no net impact on the Company's results of operations except to create the accrual of interest at variable rates. CREDIT RISK AND EXPOSURE The Company is exposed to risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. The Company manages such risk by periodically evaluating the financial position and creditworthiness of counterparties and spreading its positions among multiple counterparties. The Company presently does not anticipate nonperformance by any of the counterparties. However, in the event of nonperformance, changes in fair value of the hedging instruments would be reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the period in which the nonperformance occurred. There were no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparties or groups of counterparties at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Concentrations of credit risk associated with trade receivables are considered minimal due to the Company's diverse customer base. Bad debts have been minimal. The Company does not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales. FAIR VALUE The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The Company believes that it is not practicable to estimate the current fair value of the amount due to Cendant and Affiliates, net, because of the related party nature of the transactions. (See Note 9--Due to (from) Cendant Corporation and Affiliates, net). The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques, as appropriate. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of all financial instruments at December 31, are as follows:

14. STOCK OPTION PLANS Concurrent with the acquisition of the Company by Cendant, stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were either exchanged for cash or converted into stock options to purchase shares of Cendant's CD common stock. The activity of the Company's former stock option plans, under which the Company had, prior to March 1, 2001, issued options to purchase shares of Avis Group Holdings, Inc., consisted of:
WEIGHTED AVERAGE OPTIONS EXERCISE PRICE ---------- ---------------- Balance at January 1, 1999 4,458,100 $ 18.65 Granted at fair market value 2,799,900 25.41 Exercised (198,187) 17.00 Canceled (126,200) 19.92 ---------- Balance at December 31, 1999 6,933,613 21.41 Granted at fair market value 1,411,502 24.22 Exercised (336,757) 18.36 Canceled (460,482) 27.01 ---------- Balance at December 31, 2000 7,547,876 21.73 ---------- Exercised (6,480) 32.76 Canceled (6,830) 32.76 Exchanged for cash in connection with the acquisition of the Company by Cendant (6,741,559) 21.63 ---------- Converted at March 1, 2001 793,007 $ 21.63 ==========
F-21 The weighted-average grant-date fair value of these stock options, which were granted during 2000 and 1999, was $10.22 and $12.95, respectively. Had the Company elected to recognize and measure compensation expense for these stock option grants based on the calculated fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income (loss) would have been as follows:
PREDECESSOR COMPANIES --------------------------------------------------------------- YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, TWO MONTHS ENDED ----------------------------------------- FEBRUARY 28, 2001 2000 1999 ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- AS PRO AS PRO AS PRO REPORTED FORMA REPORTED FORMA REPORTED FORMA -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Net income (loss) $(29,119) $(30,838) $120,676 $109,894 $92,585 $83,673
During the two month period ended February 28, 2001, the Company did not grant any options. Accordingly, the pro forma compensation expense for the two months ended February 28, 2001 is based on the vesting schedule of options granted in prior years. The fair values of these stock options are estimated on the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for stock options granted in 2000 and 1999:
DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ Dividend yield -- -- Expected volatility 17.3% 40.0% Risk-free interest rate 6.3% 6.0% Expected holding period (years) 0.3 6.5
The employees whom elected to convert their existing options into Cendant options received 2.47 options to purchase shares of Cendant's CD common stock in exchange for one existing option. Under Cendant's stock option plans, Cendant may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted shares to the Company's employees, including directors and officers of the Company. Options granted under these plans generally have a ten-year term and generally vest 33% per year. The activity of Cendant's stock option plans under which the Company's employees were granted options, including options previously granted to Avis employees, consisted of:
WEIGHTED AVERAGE OPTIONS EXERCISE PRICE --------- ---------------- Balance at March 1, 2001 2,530,813 $ 28.44 Converted at March 1, 2001 1,958,729 8.76 Granted at fair market value 3,134,050 13.90 Exercised (134,388) 10.30 Canceled (67,766) 15.06 --------- Balance at December 31, 2001 7,421,438 $ 17.55 =========

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of Cendant common stock options granted during 2001 was $6.37. Had the Company elected to recognize and measure compensation expense for its stock option grants to employees based on the calculated fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net loss would have been as follows:
AS PRO REPORTED FORMA -------- -------- Net loss $(55,765) $(61,165)
The fair values of these stock options are estimated on the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for stock options granted in 2001:
PERIOD MARCH 1, 2001 (DATE OF ACQUISION) TO DECEMBER 31, 2001 ---------------------- Dividend yield -- Expected volatility 50.0% Risk-free interest rate 4.4% Expected holding period (years) 4.5
15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Cendant and the Company sponsor several defined contribution pension plans that provide certain eligible employees of the Company an opportunity to accumulate funds for retirement. The Company matches the contributions of participating employees on the basis specified in the plans. The Company's cost for contributions to these plans was $2.1 million, $0.4 million, $2.4 million and $2.1 million for the ten months ended December 31, 2001, the two months ended February 28, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cendant and the Company sponsor domestic non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain eligible employees. Additionally, the Company sponsors contributory defined benefit pension plans in certain foreign subsidiaries with participation in the plans at the employees' option. Under both the domestic and foreign plans, benefits are based on an employee's years of credited service and a percentage of final average compensation. The Company's policy for all plans is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet the minimum requirements plus other amounts as deemed appropriate. The projected benefit obligations of the plans were $34 million and $93 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The fair value of the plan assets was $28 million and $103 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The net pension cost and recorded liability were not material to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. F-23 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is committed to making rental payments under noncancelable operating leases covering various facilities and equipment. Future minimum lease payments required under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2001 are as follows:
YEAR AMOUNT ---- -------- 2002 $180,388 2003 143,320 2004 105,295 2005 75,652 2006 57,209 Thereafter 271,912 -------- $833,776 ========
At December 31, 2001, future minimum rental commitments include $15.8 million due to a subsidiary of Cendant related to the Company's Virginia Beach processing facility. During the ten months ended December 31, 2001, the two months ended February 28, 2001 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred total rental expense of $222.4 million, $44.2 million, $275.9 million and $260.5 million, respectively, inclusive of contingent rental expense of $56.3 million, $12.3 million, $98.6 million and $93.3 million, respectively, based on car rental transaction volume. The Company maintains certain agreements with airports that allow the Company to conduct its operations on-site. Such agreements require the Company to guarantee a minimum amount of fees to be paid regardless of the amount of revenue generated by the on-site operations. Such fees are recorded by the Company as a component of the total rental expense. During 2002, the Company is required to pay a minimum amount of $152 million under these agreements. The Company maintains agreements with certain vehicle manufacturers, whereby the Company is required to purchase approximately $930 million of vehicles from these manufacturers during 2002. Under the terms of these agreements, which expire in 2004, the Company is required to purchase a certain number of vehicles principally from General Motors Corporation ("GM") and maintain at least 51% of its domestic fleet in GM vehicles. The Company is involved in pending litigation in the usual course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation will not have material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. PARENT COMPANY LITIGATION On August 14, 2000, the U.S. District Court approved Cendant's agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") to settle the principal securities class action pending against Cendant, which was brought on behalf of purchasers of all Cendant and CUC publicly traded securities, other than Feline PRIDES, between May 1995 and August 1998. Under the Settlement Agreement, Cendant agreed to pay the class members approximately $2.85 billion in cash. On August 28, 2001, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit approved the $2.85 billion settlement, overruled all objections to the settlement, approved a plan of allocation for the settlement proceeds and awarded attorneys' fees and expenses to the plaintiffs. As of December 31, 2001, Cendant had deposited cash totaling $1.41 billion to a trust established for the benefit of the plaintiffs in this lawsuit. Cendant expects that it will be required to fund the remaining balance by July 16, 2002. Cendant is involved in litigation asserting claims associated with the accounting irregularities discovered in former CUC business units outside of the principal common stockholder class action litigation. Cendant does not believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the final outcome or resolution of these unresolved proceedings. However, Cendant does not believe that the impact of F-24 such unresolved proceedings should result in a material liability to the Company in relation to its consolidated financial position or liquidity. 17. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates in one segment, vehicle rental, whereby it operates the Avis car rental franchise system and rents vehicles to business and leisure travelers.
