               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

     CCC Information Services Group Inc. ("Company") (formerly known as 
InfoVest Corporation), through its primary operating subsidiary, CCC 
Information Services Inc. ("CCC") is a supplier of automobile claims 
information and processing, claims management software and communication 
services. The Company's services and products enable more than 300 automobile 
insurance company customers and more than 9,000 collision repair facility 
customers to improve efficiency, manage costs and increase consumer 
satisfaction in the management of automobile claims and restoration.

     The Company is a consolidated subsidiary of White River Ventures Inc. 
("White River"). White River is a wholly owned subsidiary of White River 
Corporation. As of September 30, 1996, White River held approximately 37% of 
the total outstanding common stock of the Company and had 51% of the voting 
power associated with the Company's total outstanding voting stock. See Note 
6 - Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock.

NOTE 2 - CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements as of and for 
the three quarters ended September 30, 1996 are unaudited. The Company is of 
the opinion that all material adjustments, consisting only of normal 
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's 
interim results of operations and financial condition have been included. The 
results of operations for any interim period should not be regarded as 
necessarily indicative of results of operations for any future period. These 
consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with 
the Company's annual consolidated financial statements included in the 
Company's Initial Public Offering Prospectus and Registration Statement on 
Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 
1996. See Note 5 - Initial Public Offering of Common Stock.

NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 
No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived 
Assets to be Disposed of" in the first quarter of 1996. This Statement 
establishes a new standard for accounting for the impairment of long-lived 
assets and certain identifiable intangibles. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 was 
not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has also issued SFAS No. 123, 
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which became effective January 1, 
1996. This Statement establishes an alternative to the Company's current 
method of accounting for compensation associated with stock issued to 
employees. Management does not intend to adopt the alternative method allowed 
by SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, adoption of this Statement will only require 
additional financial statement footnote disclosures to describe the Company's 
stock-based compensation. 

NOTE 4 - NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

     In addition to amounts reported as purchases of equipment and software 
in the consolidated interim statement of cash flow, the Company has directly 
financed certain noncash capital expenditures. These amounts totaled $1.3 
million and $0.7 million during the three quarters ended September 30, 1996 
and 1995, respectively.

                                      6

<PAGE>

NOTE 4 - NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

     The Company directly charges retained earnings for preferred stock 
accretion and preferred stock dividends payable. These amounts totaled $6.6 
million and $2.2 million during the three quarters ended September 30, 1996 
and 1995, respectively.

     On June 6, 1996, the Company distributed 40,000 shares and options to 
purchase an additional 50,000 shares of Faneuil ISG, Inc. to its stockholders 
of record. The shares and options distributed were received by the Company in 
partial consideration for the sale of certain business assets of the Company 
to Faneuil ISG, Inc. in August 1994. The book value associated with this 
investment at the time of distribution was $530 thousand.

NOTE 5 - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK

     On July 22, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the filing 
of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for 
an initial public offering (IPO) of the Company's common stock. In addition, 
on July 22, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 40 for 1 split 
of the common stock of the Company, which was effective August 13, 1996. All 
reported share information has been restated to reflect the split. On August 
21, 1996, the Company completed its IPO by issuing 6,900,000 shares of common 
stock, par value $0.10, at $11.50 per share. Gross proceeds from the IPO of 
$79.3 million were reduced by Underwriters' discounts and equity issue costs 
of $7.2 million. Proceeds from the IPO were used to repay certain bank debt 
and to redeem a substantial portion of the Company's Mandatorily Redeemable 
Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock").

NOTE 6 - MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

     As required by the terms of the Company's Series C and Series D 
Preferred Stock, the Company used 50% of the net proceeds from the IPO to 
redeem 34,085 shares of outstanding Preferred Stock at its stated value of 
$34.1 million plus accrued dividends of $2.0 million. As a result of the 
redemption and in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock, Preferred 
Stock dividends from the IPO date through June 16, 1998 have been eliminated.

     As a result of the IPO, White River's common equity ownership percentage 
was reduced from approximately 52% to approximately 37%. On August 23, 1996, 
White River informed the Company of its intention to exchange 500 Shares of 
Series D Preferred Stock for 500 Shares of Series E Preferred Stock as 
provided under the terms of an agreement between White River and the Company. 
Pursuant to the request from White River, the Company issued 500 Shares of 
Series E Preferred Stock in exchange for 500 Shares of Series D Preferred 
Stock. At September 30, 1996, 630 Shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 3,785 
Shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 500 Shares of Series E Preferred Stock 
are issued and outstanding. The Series E Preferred Stock provides White River 
with a maximum of 51% of the total voting power associated with the Company's 
total outstanding voting stock when combined with the amount of the Company's 
common stock held directly by White River.

NOTE 7 - LONG-TERM DEBT

     Primarily with proceeds from the IPO, the Company repaid all outstanding 
balances under a term loan and revolving credit facility with its former 
commercial lender. In August 1996, the Company executed a new revolving 
credit facility with a new commercial bank and terminated its former credit 
facility. As a result, the write-off of deferred financing fees associated 
with the former credit facility have been reflected as an extraordinary loss, 
net of income taxes, in the accompanying consolidated interim statement of 
operations for the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 1996.

                                      7

<PAGE>

NOTE 7 - LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

     The new credit facility provides CCC with the ability to borrow up to $20 
million under a revolving line of credit for general corporate purposes. 
There have been no borrowings under the new facility. The interest rate under 
the new revolving credit facility would be the London Inter-Bank Offering 
Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.5% or the prime rate, as selected by CCC. In addition, 
CCC pays a commitment fee of 0.25% on any unused portion of the revolving 
credit facility. The new facility expires on October 1, 2001.

     Under the new revolving credit facility, CCC is, with certain 
exceptions, prohibited from making certain sales or transfers of assets, 
incurring nonpermitted indebtedness or encumbrances, and redeeming or 
repurchasing its capital stock, among other restrictions. In addition, the 
new bank credit facility also requires CCC to maintain certain levels of 
operating cash flow in relation to total debt and debt service coverage, and 
limits CCC's ability to make capital expenditures and investments and declare 
dividends.

     The Company has made cash interest payments of $2.6 million and $3.2 
million during the three quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

     Because of the Company's past history of operating losses and its 
inability to project future taxable income with certainty, the Company 
established deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Based upon the 
recapitalization of the Company achieved through its initial public offering 
and management's increased confidence in predicting future taxable income, 
all deferred income tax valuation allowances are expected to be released to 
income by December 31, 1996. Deferred income tax valuation allowances of $1.6 
million and $3.8 million were released to income during the quarter and three 
quarters ended September 30, 1996, respectively. The Company has received 
refunds in excess of payments of $10 thousand and $657 thousand during the 
three quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 9 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     In April 1996, the Company completely settled a lawsuit involving an 
independent publisher of used car valuation books. The settlement amount 
approximated the settlement charge of $4.5 million previously recorded in 
April 1995. In conjunction with the settlement agreement, the Company 
received a three year license to the publisher's used car valuation book data 
at market rates.

     The Company is a party to various claims and routine litigation arising 
in the normal course of business. Such claims and litigation are not expected 
to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of 
operations of the Company.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED
  SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

     CCC Information Services Group Inc. ("Company") reported a net loss 
applicable to common stock of $1.0 million, or $0.05 per share, for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1996, versus break-even results for the same 
quarter last year. Third quarter 1996 results included dividends and 
accretion on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of $5.0 million, or $0.24 
per share, and an extraordinary loss on early retirement of debt, net of 
income taxes, of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share. Of the dividends and 
accretion of $5.0 million, $4.5 million resulted from an accelerated 
accretion to stated value resulting from the earlier than scheduled preferred 
stock redemption. Third quarter 1996 operating income of $5.4 million was 
$2.9 million, or 121%, higher than the same quarter last year.

     Third quarter 1996 revenues of $32.6 million were $3.8 million, or 
13.1%, higher than the same quarter last year. The increase in revenues is 
due primarily to higher revenues from collision estimating software 
licensing, from ACCESS-TM- claims services and from Total Loss valuation 
services. Collision estimating software licensing revenues increased 
primarily because of an increase in the number of software licenses, 
particularly at collision repair facilities. ACCESS-TM- claims services 
revenues increased primarily as a result of higher transaction volume. Total 
Loss services revenue increased primarily as a result of a regulatory change 
in three large industrial states that allowed the Company to market its 
premium vehicle valuation product in those states.

     The Company's plans to increase operating expenditures over the second 
half of 1996 to enhance internal functions and capabilities (including 
improvements to customer call tracking software, additional customer service 
staff to implement major new customers, staff training and certain sales and 
marketing activities) have been delayed to meet jointly-agreed implementation 
schedules for certain customers. As a result, only a portion of the planned 
third quarter increase in operating expenditures was incurred. Postponement 
of these expenditures has caused certain third quarter operating expenses to 
be lower than expected; the principal affected reporting categories are 
indicated below. The Company now expects to incur approximately $1.0 million 
of the postponed expenditures in the fourth quarter of 1996.

     Production and customer support decreased from $7.9 million, or 27.2% of 
revenues, to $7.7 million or 23.6% of revenues, due primarily to the 
Company's efforts to reduce selected production costs and to postponement, as 
a result of a delayed customer service implementations, of certain planned 
operating expenditures. Commission, royalties and licenses increased from 
$3.0 million, or 10.4% of revenues, to $3.5 million, or 10.6% of revenues. 
The increase as a percent of revenues was due primarily to higher revenues 
from collision estimating licensing which generates both a commission and a 
data royalty. Selling, general and administrative increased from $9.4 
million, or 32.6% of revenues, to $10.3 million, or 31.5% of revenues. The 
decline as a percentage of revenue primarily represents the increase in 
revenues but also reflects the Company's cost containment programs and 
postponement, as a result of a delayed customer service implementations, of 
certain planned operating expenditures. Depreciation and amortization 
declined from $2.4 million, or 8.2% of revenues, to $1.6 million, or 5.0% of 
revenues. The decline relates primarily to expiration, as of March 31, 1996, 
of purchased software amortization associated with the Company's acquisition 
of its former partner's interest in CCC Development Company, the joint 
venture that initially developed the Company's EZEst collision estimating 
software. Product development and programming increased from $3.8 million, or 
13.2% of revenues to $4.2 million, or 12.8% of revenues. The decline as a 
percentage of revenues primarily reflects the increase in revenues but also 
reflects postponement, as a result of a delayed customer service 
implementations, of certain planned operating expenditures.

     Interest expense declined from $1.4 million to $0.5 million due to 
repayments of long-term debt and contract funding amortization, including 
repayments following the Company's initial public offering of common stock. 
The third quarter effective income tax rate of 5.8% reflects the release of 
certain deferred income tax valuation allowances, including an increase in 
the rate of valuation allowance release, 

                                      9

<PAGE>

as a percentage of income before income taxes, over that reported over the 
first two quarters of the year. Third quarter valuation allowances released 
totaled $1.6 million. See additional explanation of income taxes under the 
three quarter period discussion below.

  THREE QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE QUARTERS ENDED
  SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

     For the three quarters ended September 30, 1996, the Company reported 
net income applicable to common stock of $4.1 million, or $0.22 per share, 
versus net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.15 per share, for the same period last 
year. Operating income for the three quarters ended September 30, 1996 of 
$15.4 million was $12.4 million higher than the same period last year. A 
litigation settlement charge of $4.5 million was recorded in the comparable 
1995 period.

     Revenues for the three quarters ended September 30, 1996 of $95.9 
million were $10.5 million, or 12.3%, higher than the same period last year. 
The increase in revenues was due primarily to higher revenues from collision 
estimating software licensing, from EZNet-TM- communications services and 
from ACCESS-TM- claims services. Collision estimating software licensing 
revenues increased primarily because of an increase in the number of software 
licenses, particularly at collision repair facilities. EZNet-TM- 
communications services and ACCESS-TM- claims services revenues increased 
primarily as a result of higher transaction volume.

     Production and customer support decreased from $24.2 million, or 28.3% 
of revenues, to $23.2 million or 24.2% of revenues, due primarily to the 
Company's efforts to reduce selected production costs. Commission, royalties 
and licenses increased from $8.6 million, or 10.0% of revenues, to $10.1 
million, or 10.6% of revenues. The increase as a percent of revenues was due 
primarily to higher revenues from collision estimating licensing which 
generates both a commission and a data royalty. Selling, general and 
administrative increased from $27.1 million, or 31.7% of revenues, to $29.3 
million, or 30.6% of revenues. The decline as a percentage of revenue 
primarily represents the increase in revenues but also reflects the Company's 
cost containment programs. Depreciation and amortization declined from $7.2 
million, or 8.4% of revenues, to $5.6 million, or 5.8% of revenues. The 
decline relates primarily to expiration, as of March 31, 1996, of purchased 
software amortization associated with the Company's acquisition of its former 
partner's interest in CCC Development Company. Product development and 
programming increased from $10.8 million, or 12.7% of revenues to $12.3 
million, or 12.8% of revenues. The increase was due primarily to an 
increasing allocation of Company resources to product development and wage 
pressure associated with retaining software engineers.

     Interest expense declined from $4.5 million to $2.5 million due to 
repayments of long-term debt, including the substantial debt repayments 
following the Company's initial public offering of common stock. The 
effective income tax rate for the three quarter period of 14.7% reflects the 
release of certain deferred income tax valuation allowances. The Company now 
expects that all deferred income tax valuation allowances reserves will be 
released by the end of calendar 1996. The decision to release all deferred 
income tax valuation allowances was based upon the successful 
recapitalization of the Company through its initial public offering and 
management's increased confidence in predicting future taxable income. The 
effective income tax rate for the three quarter period approximates the 
income tax rate expected for the full calendar year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On August 21, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering of 
common stock, generating proceeds of $72.1 million, net of underwriters' 
discounts and related equity issue costs. Proceeds from the offering of $36.1 
million were used to redeem approximately 87% of the Company's mandatorily 
redeemable preferred stock at stated value plus accrued dividends. In 
addition, proceeds from the offering of $28.0 million were used to make 
principal repayments on long-term debt. The balance of the Company's 
principal repayments during the three quarters ended September 30, 1996 was 
generated from operations. On August 22, 1996, the Company secured a $20.0 
million revolving credit facility through a new commercial bank. There have 
been no borrowings under the new facility. Indebtedness under the new 
facility would bear interest at either of two rates as selected by the 
Company: the London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.5% or the prime 
rate.

     Following the offering, the Company's principal liquidity requirements 
include its operating activities, including product development, and its 
investments in internal and customer capital equipment. During the three 
quarters ended September 30, 1996, net cash provided by operating activities 
was $17.0 million, net of contract funding revenue amortization of $2.9 
million. The Company applied $3.2 million, excluding noncash capital 
expenditures, to purchase equipment and software and $8.0 million to make 
principal repayments on long-term debt. Excess cash from operations of $5.8 
million and excess cash from the offering of $8.0 million are the primary 
causes of the increase in cash of $13.7 million during the three quarter 
period.

     During the three quarters ended September 30, 1995, net cash provided by 
operating activities was $4.6 million, net of contract funding revenue 
amortization of $8.6 million. The Company applied $2.0 million, excluding 
noncash capital expenditures, to purchase equipment and software and $3.3 
million to make principal repayments on long-term debt. In addition, during 
the three quarter period, the Company received the final payment from the 
sale of certain discontinued operations of $0.5 million which had been held 
back in escrow pending resolution of certain contingencies.

     Management believes that cash flows from operations and the new credit 
facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs over the 
next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be 
able to satisfy its liquidity needs in the future without engaging in 
financing activities beyond those described above.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains certain 
safe harbors regarding forward-looking statements. In that context, the 
discussion in this Item 2 contains forward-looking statements which involve 
certain degrees of risk and uncertainties, including statements relating to 
liquidity and capital resources. Except for the historical information, the 
matters discussed in this Item 2 are such forward-looking statements that 
involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the effect of 
competitive pricing within the industry, the presence of competitors with 
greater financial resources than the Company, the intense competition for top 
software engineering talent and the volatile nature of technological change 
within the automobile claims industry. Additional factors that could affect 
the Company's financial condition and results of operations are included in 
the Company's Initial Public Offering Prospectus and Registration on Form S-1 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 1996.
