  On January 6, 1997, Plextel Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), a wholly-
  owned  subsidiary  of  CUC International  Inc.  (the  "Company"),
  acquired  all  of  the issued and outstanding  capital  stock  of
  Plextel  Telecommunications, Inc. ("Plextel"),  pursuant  to  the
  terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 26, 1996 among
  the  Company,  Holdings, Plextel and the former  stockholders  of
  Plextel.  Plextel operates an affinity-based, computerized dating

  For  the one-month period ended February 6, 1997, the Company had

  million  and  $32  million ($.08 per share),  respectively.   The
  weighted average number of Company common shares outstanding  for
  this period was approximately 414.7 million shares.
