THE COMPANY

The Company is a leading supplier of automobile claims information and
processing, claims management software and value-added communication services.
The Company's customers include each of the 50 largest U.S. automobile insurance
companies, over 250 other automobile insurance companies and more than 8,500
collision repair facilities. The Company's technology-based services and
products improve efficiency, manage costs and increase consumer satisfaction in
the management of automobile claims and restoration. The Company believes that
its core competencies include the efficient collection and processing of claims
and automobile valuation and repair data, development of advanced client-server,
object-oriented claims software products, management of a value-added
communications network, understanding the workflow processes of automobile
claims and marketing through a customer-oriented field sales and service
organization.

The Company's services and products automate the process of evaluating and
settling both total loss and repairable automobile claims. The Company's TOTAL
LOSS services and products provide insurance companies the ability to effect
total loss settlements on the basis of market-specific vehicle values. The
Company's collision estimating services and products provide insurance
appraisers and collision repair facilities with up-to-date pricing, interactive
decision support and computer-assisted logic to produce accurate collision
repair estimates. Communication services offered by the Company connect
insurers, appraisers and collision repair facilities, providing the information
required to make appropriate and timely decisions. The Company also provides a
wide variety of related services and products intended to facilitate the overall
management of the automobile claims process. The Company's PATHWAYS workflow
management software is designed to integrate each of the Company's product
offerings on a common platform with a common graphical user interface,
facilitating the learning of new applications while providing the Company's
customers with a broader tool set for claims completion. The Company's services
and products are an integrated solution that combines reliable information,
advanced claims management software and value-added, secure communication
systems to improve the efficiency of the automobile claims process.

The Company markets its services and products to the key participants in the
automobile claims industry, including over 400 insurance companies and
approximately 20,000 to 25,000 collision repair facilities. The Company sells
its services and products to insurance companies through a 125 person direct
sales force. The Company contracts with 85 independent sales representatives to
sell its products to collision repair facilities. Over half of the Company's
revenue for 1995 was for services and products sold pursuant to contracts, which
generally have a two to three year term. A substantial portion of the Company's
remaining revenue represented sales to customers that have been doing business
with the Company for at least ten years. The Company's services and products are
sold either on a monthly subscription or a per transaction basis.

Insurance companies paid approximately $35 billion for automobile damage and
loss claims in 1994, of which the Company believes $19 billion was paid to
collision repair facilities and $13 billion was paid for total loss claims.
Competitive pressures and resistance by policy holders and regulators to premium
increases are causing insurance companies to focus on both customer satisfaction
and cost control. At the same time, the costs to operate a collision repair
facility have risen substantially over the past decade. Modern automobile
designs coupled with extensive environmental regulations are forcing collision
repair facilities to make significant capital

3
<PAGE>
investments in increasingly sophisticated equipment and better training.
Automobile insurance companies are seeking to reduce the costs of adjusting
claims through better and more timely flows of information and to increase
consumer satisfaction through faster, more efficient claims handling procedures.
Collision repair facilities are seeking to obtain a steady supply of customers
through greater connectivity with insurance companies and through improved
operating efficiency, business management and repair processing.

The Company's objective is to enhance its position as a leading provider of
business solutions to the automobile claims industry. The Company intends to
grow its installed user base and to offer new and enhanced services and
products. The Company focuses resources on leading insurance companies because
these customers drive new product innovation and influence the systems decisions
of other participants in the claims process. The Company has also committed
substantial resources to develop and program class libraries and claims workflow
objects and intends to leverage this technology asset to develop new services
and enhancements rapidly. The Company plans to expand its appraisal and
restoration outsourcing solution as an alternative to high cost independent
adjusters. The Company also plans to expand the scope of its service and product
offerings beyond automobile physical damage solutions to include claims
involving bodily injury and to offer selected insurance company customers a
total claims outsourcing solution.

Underlying each of the Company's principal services and products are
value-added databases which the Company's customers access using
workflow-oriented software and the Company's communications network. The
Company's proprietary database of valuation data used in connection with its
total loss services and products is built through the Company's own data
collection network. The Company offers its collision estimating services and
products through a personal computer-based, open systems approach utilizing an
object-oriented design which is readily integrated with customer legacy systems
and which enables rapid introduction of additional application modules. The
Company's product engineering activities focus on improving speed to market of
new products, services and enhancements, and reducing development costs.

CCC entered the vehicle total loss valuation market in 1980 when it
introduced the first computerized vehicle valuation system based on
market-specific conditions and physically inspected dealer inventories. The
Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1983. Its principal executive office is
located at 444 Merchandise Mart, Chicago, Illinois 60654. Its telephone number
is (312) 222-4636.

(1) The Company accounted for its interest in the Joint Venture under the equity
method of accounting prior to acquiring the remaining interest in the Joint
Venture, effective March 30, 1994.

(2) Pro forma data gives effect to the Offering (at an assumed initial offering
price of $11.00) as of January 1, 1995, including: (i) redemption of a
portion of the Redeemable Preferred Stock, (ii) elimination of interest
expense associated with repayment of a portion of the Company's existing
indebtedness under the 1994 bank credit facility, elimination of
amortization associated with the write-off of deferred debt issue costs as a
result of the early retirement of debt and (iii) the tax effects of the
interest-related adjustments described above. See "Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Financial Data" presented elsewhere in this Prospectus.

(3) Adjusted to reflect (i) receipt by the Company of the net proceeds to be
received from the sale of Common Stock offered hereby at an assumed initial
public offering price of $11.00 per share and (ii) the application of the
net proceeds of the Offering to repay a portion of the Company's existing
indebtedness under the 1994 bank credit facility and to redeem a portion of
the Redeemable Preferred Stock.
With regard to redemption of the Redeemable Preferred Stock, the adjustments
reflect acceleration of the unaccreted portion of the original preferred
stock discount as a charge to stockholders' equity (deficit). There is no
income tax benefit associated with the accelerated accretion. With regard to
repayment of a portion of the 1994 bank credit facility, the adjustments
reflect deferred debt issue costs, net of related income tax benefits, as a
charge to stockholders' equity (deficit). The deferred debt issue cost
write-off will be charged against earnings, as an extraordinary item, net of
tax, in the period in which a portion of the 1994 bank credit facility is
repaid. Based on an assumed public offering price of $11.00 per share, this
charge is estimated to be $0.9 million before income taxes.

RISK FACTORS

THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED IN
THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE
SET FORTH BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THE FOLLOWING FACTORS SHOULD
BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS BEFORE PURCHASING THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY.

HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES; UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY

The Company has an accumulated net deficit from inception of approximately
$65.0 million through June 30, 1996. Losses have resulted principally from costs
incurred in product acquisition and development, from servicing of debt and from
general and administrative costs. These costs have exceeded the Company's
revenues, which have been derived primarily from the sale of its TOTAL LOSS
product and its collision estimating product, EZEST. Most of the Company's other
products are relatively new and, with the exception of EZNET, the Company's
communications service, have not yet produced significant revenue. Although the
Company has recorded substantial revenue growth in each of the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, and net income before dividends and accretion
on preferred stock of $1.3 million in the year ended December 31, 1995, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain such growth or
achieve or maintain profitability in future periods. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

FINANCIAL POSITION; NEGATIVE WORKING CAPITAL; POTENTIAL FINANCING NEEDS

At June 30, 1996, the Company's stockholders' deficit was $51.1 million. The
net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock offered hereby will enable the
Company to improve substantially its financial position by repaying a portion of
the 1994 bank credit facility and redeeming a portion of the Redeemable
Preferred Stock. Historically, the Company's business has operated with a
negative working capital. At June 30, 1996, negative working capital was $14.5
million, and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities was .57 to 1.
The Company has the ability to operate with a negative working capital because
it receives substantial payments from customers for services and products in
advance of the costs incurred to provide such services and products and the
availability of bank lines of credit. Assuming application of the net proceeds
from the sale of Common Stock offered hereby as described herein as of June 30,
1996, the Company would have pro forma adjusted negative working capital as of
June 30, 1996 of $6.6 million. The Company believes that cash flows from
operations and available bank lines of credit will be sufficient to fund working
capital needs for at least one year. However, the continued availability of bank
lines of credit will require compliance with bank covenants. It is possible that
circumstances could arise in the operation of the Company's business that would
reduce cash flows substantially or would cause the Company not to be in
compliance with bank covenants. Failure to comply with bank covenants could
cause indebtedness to become due immediately or render lines of credit not to be
available when needed. In such event the Company may need to seek alternate
sources of financing, including the potential issuance of debt or equity
securities, at a time and on terms that may not be favorable to the Company.
Issuance of additional equity securities could result in substantial dilution to
stockholders. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on
terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from sales to
large insurance companies, including State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance
Company ("State Farm"). State Farm accounted for approximately 12.4% of the
Company's revenue in 1995. Any loss of or material decrease in the business from
any large insurer, and in particular from State Farm, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Business--Customers."

TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The markets in which the Company competes are increasingly characterized by
technological change. The introduction of competing services or products
incorporating new technologies could render some or all of the Company's
services and products unmarketable. The Company believes that its future success
depends on its ability to enhance its current services and products and to
develop new services and products that address the

7
<PAGE>
increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers. As a result, the Company must
commit substantial resources to product development and programming. The
development of new products may result in unanticipated expenditures and capital
costs which may not be recovered in the event of an unsuccessful product.
Development projects can be lengthy and are subject to changing market
requirements and unforseen factors which can result in delays. The failure of
the Company to develop and introduce new or enhanced services and products in a
timely and cost-effective manner in response to changing technologies or
customer requirements would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS

The Company has experienced, and in the future may continue to experience,
significant quarter to quarter fluctuations in its results of operations.
Quarterly results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a variety of
factors, including the introduction of new or upgraded services and products by
the Company or its competitors, customer acceptance of new services and
products, product development expenses, the timing of significant orders, the
volume of usage of the Company's services and products, competitive conditions
in the industry and general economic conditions. Many of these factors are
beyond the Company's control. Further, the Company's contracts generally involve
significant customer commitments and may require time-consuming authorization
procedures within the customer's organization; the sales cycles for the
Company's services and products are therefore typically lengthy and subject to a
number of factors outside of the Company's control. For these and other reasons
the overall revenues of the Company are difficult to forecast, and the Company
believes that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not
necessarily meaningful or indicative of the results that the Company may achieve
for any subsequent quarter or a full year. Such fluctuations may result in
volatility in the price of the Common Stock, and it is possible that in future
quarters the Company's operating results will be below the expectations of
public market analysts and investors. Such an event could have a material
adverse effect on the price of the Common Stock. In addition, the principal
payment obligations and the restrictive covenants of the Company's 1994 bank
credit facility have continued to constrain the Company's operating activities.
During the first half of 1996, the Company did not make certain operating
expenditures and investments that it would have made in the absence of the 1994
bank credit facility covenants. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Selected Quarterly Financial
Results."

COMPETITION

The markets for the Company's services and products are highly competitive.
Over the past few years, the Company has experienced competitive price pressure,
particularly in the collision estimating market, and expects such trend to
continue. The Company's principal competitors are divisions of two
well-capitalized, multinational firms, Automated Data Processing, Inc. ("ADP")
and Thomson Corporation ("Thomson"), both of which have greater financial,
marketing, technical and other resources than the Company. Both competitors
produce products which are presently endorsed by large insurance companies and
additional endorsements may have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, in
connection with the Company's strategy to provide outsourced claims processing
services, the Company will compete with other third-party service providers,
some of whom may have more capital and greater resources than the Company. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully
against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. See "Business--Competition."

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

The Company's continued success will depend largely on the efforts and
abilities of its executive officers and upon certain key technical, managerial
and sales employees. The loss of the services of any of the Company's key
employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that it will
need to hire additional technical personnel in order to enhance its existing
products and to develop new products. The Company's success also depends in
large part upon its ability to attract and retain highly-skilled managerial,
sales and marketing personnel. If the Company is unable to hire the necessary
personnel, the development and sale of product enhancements and new products
would likely be delayed or prevented. Competition for highly skilled technical,
managerial, sales and marketing

8
<PAGE>
personnel is intense. Certain of the Company's senior management personnel have
recently joined the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in retaining its key personnel and in attracting the personnel it
requires to continue its growth strategy. See "Business--Competition,"
"--Employees" and "Management."

USE OF LICENSED INFORMATION

The Company's success depends to a substantial degree on its ability to
provide customers access to a breadth of data from many different sources. A
substantial portion of the data utilized in the Company's collision estimating
products is derived from the Motor Crash Estimating Guide, a publication of a
subsidiary of The Hearst Corporation. The Company has a license to use the Motor
Crash Estimating Guide data under an agreement which expires on April 30, 2002.
The license is automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis after April 30,
2002 unless either party furnishes the other with two years' prior notice of
nonrenewal. In addition to the Hearst license, the Company also licenses
information on the pricing, availability and location of recycled parts from
other parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to renew
the Hearst license or any of its other licenses on economic terms that are
beneficial to the Company or at all. Any interruption of the Company's data
sourcing arrangements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Business--Technology."

DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; RISKS OF INFRINGEMENT

The Company regards the technology underlying its services and products as
proprietary. The Company relies primarily on a combination of intellectual
property laws, patents, trademarks, confidentiality agreements and contractual
provisions to protect its proprietary rights. The Company has registered certain
of its trademarks. The Company's TOTAL LOSS calculation process is not patented;
however, the underlying methodology and processes are trade secrets of the
Company and are essential to the Company's TOTAL LOSS business. Existing trade
secrets and copyright laws afford the Company limited protection. Despite the
Company's efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may
attempt to copy aspects of the Company's software or to obtain and use
information that the Company regards as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use
of the Company's software is difficult. There can be no assurance that the
obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the Company's trade secrets and
proprietary information will effectively prevent disclosure of the Company's
confidential information or provide meaningful protection for the Company's
confidential information, or that the Company's trade secrets or proprietary
information will not be independently developed by the Company's competitors.
There can be no assurance that the Company's trade secrets or proprietary
information will provide competitive advantages or will not be challenged or
circumvented by its competitors. Litigation may be necessary for the Company to
defend against claims of infringement, to protect its intellectual property
rights and could result in substantial cost to, and diversion of efforts by, the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company would prevail in any such
litigation. If the Company is unable to protect its proprietary rights in its
intellectual property, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is not aware that any of its software, trademarks or other
proprietary rights infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. However,
the Company has been involved previously in intellectual property litigation the
resolution of which resulted in substantial payments by the Company. There can
be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against
the Company in the future. Any such claims, with or without merit, can be time
consuming and expensive to defend or can require the Company to enter into
royalty or licensing agreements or cease the infringing activities. The failure
to obtain such royalty agreements, if required, and the Company's involvement in
such litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. See "Business--Intellectual
Property."

CONTROL BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDER

Upon consummation of the Offering, White River Ventures, Inc. ("White
River") and its affiliates, will beneficially own or control an aggregate of
39.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (or approximately 37.6% if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). In addition, White
River and its affiliates will beneficially own or control an aggregate of 1,650
shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and 11,220 shares of the Series D
Preferred Stock. The Company, White River and certain other stockholders of the
Company are

9
<PAGE>

parties to a stockholders agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement") that provides
White River substantial rights in corporate governance matters, including the
election of directors. See "Principal Stockholders--Stockholders Agreement."
White River and the Company have also entered into an agreement (the "White
River Agreement") whereby the Company has agreed, upon receipt of notice from
White River that it owns less than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, to exchange 500 shares of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock for
500 shares of new Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value
$1.00 (the "Series E Preferred Stock"), which carries certain voting rights if
it is held by White River or any of its affiliates. The Series E Preferred Stock
votes according to a formula, the effect of which is to cause White River and
its affiliates, through their ownership of shares of Common Stock and Series E
Preferred Stock, to have 51% of the votes to be cast on any matter to be voted
upon by the holders of Common Stock, for as long as all of the shares of such
Series E Preferred Stock are issued, outstanding and held by White River and its
affiliates. See "Description of Capital Stock--The Series E Preferred Stock." As
a result, White River may be able to elect a majority of the Company's
directors, subject to the terms of the stockholders agreement, and will continue
to have significant influence over the affairs of the Company. This may render
more difficult or tend to discourage mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, proxy
contests or assumptions of control and changes of incumbent management, even
when stockholders other than White River consider such a transaction to be in
their best interest. Accordingly, stockholders may be deprived of an opportunity
to sell their shares at a premium over the market price of the shares. See
"Principal Stockholders -- Stockholders Agreement" and "Certain Transactions."

BENEFITS TO EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS

Approximately $27.6 million of the net proceeds from the sale by the Company
of the Common Stock offered hereby will be used to redeem a portion of the
Redeemable Preferred Stock, of which 96.2% is owned by White River and 3.8% is
owned by affiliates of Hambrecht & Quist LLC, a representative of the
Underwriters. See "Certain Transactions", "Description of Capital Stock" and
"Underwriting."

DEPENDENCE ON TRANSMISSION SERVICES AND DATA OPERATIONS

The Company maintains its TOTAL LOSS database on a mainframe computer which
has been outsourced to a data center service provider for the past ten years.
The Company's operations are dependent on its ability to protect its computer
equipment and the information stored in the third party service bureau against
damage that may be caused by fire, power loss, telecommunications failures,
unauthorized intrusion and other events. The service bureau data center consists
of an IBM compatible mainframe processor, disk storage, a tape library, printer
output capability, communications facilities and mini-computers. The data center
is protected by an uninterruptible power supply system with short term battery
back-up and security and authorization procedures. Software and related data
files are backed-up regularly and stored off-site and the Company and service
bureau also have a contingency and disaster recovery plan that is designed to
reduce the risk of extended interruption of the Company's services in the event
of damage to, or other failure of, its data center. There can be no assurance
that these measures will be sufficient to eliminate the risk of extended
interruption in the Company's operations due to interference or disruptions to
the Company's access to the information maintained at the data center. Any such
interruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Certain of the Company's data services are transmitted using transmission
methods which are not within the control of the Company. The Company relies on
several companies to provide dial-up access to the Company's services. Any
damage or failure that causes interruption in these services could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The insurance industry is subject to extensive state regulation. Because the
Company markets and sells its products and services to participants in the
insurance industry, particular aspects of the Company's business are affected by
such regulation, including the methodology implemented to calculate total loss
valuations, restrictions or prohibitions on the ability of an insurance company
to direct or suggest insureds to use selected repair facilities and the
monitoring and licensing of claim adjusters and appraisers. Due to the
state-by-state regulation of the insurance industry, the Company's services and
products may be affected by varying regulations which

10
<PAGE>
may increase costs to the Company in complying with such regulations. Changes in
regulations which adversely affect the Company's existing and potential clients
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Future sales of substantial amounts of the Company's Common Stock after this
Offering could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. Several of
the Company's principal stockholders hold a significant portion of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock, including White River which holds 8,584,564 shares
representing 51.9% of the Common Stock, and a decision by one or more of these
stockholders to sell their shares could adversely affect the market price of the
Common Stock. Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company will have
22,026,800 shares of Common Stock outstanding (22,851,800 shares assuming
exercise in full of the Underwriters' over-allotment option). Of these shares,
all shares sold in this Offering and 808,000 shares held by certain stockholders
not affiliated with the Company will be freely tradeable immediately following
this Offering. Of the remaining shares, 14,911,500 shares of Common Stock are
subject to lock-up agreements with representatives of the Underwriters. Such
lock-up agreements restrict transfers of such shares, without the written
consent of Hambrecht & Quist LLC, until 180 days after the date of this
Prospectus. Beginning 180 days after the date of this Prospectus, approximately
15,563,900 shares will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of which 13,050,800
shares are held by affiliates of the Company. As of June 30, 1996, options to
purchase an aggregate of 2,579,800 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under
the Company's Stock Option Plan, and 1,577,700 of these shares which are
acquired upon exercise of options within 180 days of this Prospectus are subject
to the 180 day lock-up described above. See "Management--Stock Option Plan."
Following the closing of this Offering, the Company intends to register on Form
S-8 under the Securities Act shares of Common Stock issuable under the Stock
Option Plan. Such registration will be effective upon its filing. See "Shares
Eligible For Future Sale."

BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, additional shares of preferred
stock may be issued in the future by the Company without stockholder approval
and upon such terms and conditions, and having such rights, privileges and
preferences, as the Board may determine in the exercise of its business
judgment. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may
be adversely effected by, any preferred stock that may be issued in the future.
The issuance of additional preferred stock, while providing desirable
flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, financings and other
corporate transactions, could have the effect of discouraging, or making more
difficult, a third party's acquisition of a majority of the Company's
outstanding voting stock. The Company has no present plans to issue any
additional shares of preferred stock. See "Control by Existing Stockholder" and
"Description of Capital Stock--Preferred Stock."

NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE; POSSIBLE
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE

Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock,
and there can be no assurance given as to (i) the liquidity of the trading
market for the Common Stock, (ii) whether an active public market will develop
for the Common Stock or (iii) whether the Common Stock will trade in the public
market subsequent to the Offering at or above the initial public offering price.
If an active public market for the Common Stock does not develop, the market
price and liquidity of the Common Stock may be materially and adversely
affected. The initial public offering price of the Common Stock offered hereby
was determined by negotiations among the Company and the Underwriters and may
not be indicative of the market price for the Common Stock after the Offering.
See "Underwriting." The trading price of the Common Stock could be subject to
wide fluctuations in response to variations in the Company's quarterly operating
results, changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts, conditions in the
Company's businesses or general market or economic conditions. In addition, in
recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations. These fluctuations have had a substantial effect on the market
prices for many emerging growth companies, often unrelated to the operating
performance of the specific companies. Such market fluctuations could have a
material adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock.

11
<PAGE>
DILUTION TO NEW INVESTORS

Investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in the Offering will experience
immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value. Prior to this
Offering each outstanding share of Common Stock has a negative net tangible book
value of $3.81, and after the Offering will have a negative net tangible book
value of $0.35. The net tangible book value dilution to purchasers of Common
Stock in this Offering will be $11.35 per share. See "Dilution." To the extent
outstanding options to purchase the Company's Common Stock are exercised, there
will be further dilution. See "Management--Stock Option Plan."

HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE

The Company is a holding company with no business operations of its own. The
Company's only material asset is all of the outstanding capital stock of CCC,
which is pledged pursuant to a guaranty of the 1994 bank credit facility.
Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on dividends and distributions from
CCC to pay its expenses and to pay any cash dividends or distributions on the
Common Stock that may be authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.
There can be no assurance that CCC will generate sufficient cash flow to pay
dividends or distribute funds to the Company or that applicable state law and
contractual restrictions, including negative covenants contained in the debt
instruments of CCC, will permit such dividends or distributions.

12
<PAGE>
DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common
Stock. The Company currently intends to retain any future earnings for funding
growth and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. Furthermore, covenants in the 1994 bank credit facility
prohibit the payment of cash dividends on Common Stock.

As of June 30, 1996, dividends in the approximate amount of $2.2 million had
accrued on the Redeemable Preferred Stock. Redeemable Preferred Stock totalling
$27.6 million, including accrued dividends thereon of $1.5 million, is being
redeemed with a portion of the proceeds of this Offering. So long as any shares
of Redeemable Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company cannot declare and
pay dividends on the Common Stock.

On June 6, 1996 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
distribution to stockholders of record of the Company of the stock and options
in a former subsidiary of the Company which were recorded at cost with a
carrying value of $530,000. Purchasers of Common Stock offered hereby will not
participate in this distribution.

DILUTION

The net tangible book value of the Company at June 30, 1996, was a negative
$63.0 million, or a negative $3.81 per share. "Net tangible book value per
share" represents the amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities
divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Without taking into
account any other changes in the net tangible book value after June 30, 1996,
other than to give effect to the receipt by the Company of the net proceeds from
the sale of 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby at an assumed
initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, the net tangible book value
of the Company at June 30, 1996 would have been negative $7.8 million or a
negative $0.35 per share. This represents an immediate increase of net tangible
book value of $3.46 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution
of $11.35 per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this per
share dilution:

<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Assumed initial public offering price per share............................. $ 11.00
Net negative tangible book value per share before the Offering............ $ 3.81
Less increase per share attributable to new investors..................... 3.46
---------
Net negative tangible book value per share after the Offering(1)............ 0.35
---------
Dilution per share to new investors......................................... $ 11.35
---------
---------
</TABLE>

- ------------------------------

(1) If the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, the net
tangible book value per share would be approximately $0.03, resulting in
dilution to new investors in this Offering of $10.97 per share.

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 1996,
the differences between existing stockholders and new investors purchasing
shares of Common Stock in the Offering (at an assumed initial public offering
price of $11.00 per share) with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock
purchased from the Company, the total consideration paid and the average price
per share paid:

The computations in the above table are determined before deducting the
underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
Both tables set forth in this section assume no exercise of outstanding stock
options. At June 30, 1996, options to purchase 2,579,760 shares of Common Stock
were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $2.64 per share. To
the extent outstanding options are exercised, there will be further dilution to
new investors. See "Management--Stock Option Plan."

<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the sale by the Company of the Common Stock offered
hereby will be approximately $55.2 million (or approximately $63.6 million if
the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) based on an
assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share and after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The
Company intends to use approximately $27.6 million of such net proceeds to repay
a portion of the outstanding indebtedness of CCC under the 1994 bank credit
facility. The Company also intends to use the remaining net proceeds of
approximately $27.6 million of such net proceeds to redeem a portion of the
Redeemable Preferred Stock.

At June 30, 1996 there was $27.8 million outstanding under the 1994 bank
credit facility (a $22.3 million term loan and a $5.5 million revolving loan).
Loans under the 1994 bank credit facility bear interest at either (i) a base
rate (set by the bank from time to time) plus 1.5%, or (ii) the Eurodollar rate
plus 3.0%, as chosen from time to time by CCC. The average interest rate in
effect during the year ended December 31, 1995 was 9.15% for the term loan and
9.03% for the revolving credit facility; at June 30, 1996, the rates in effect
for these facilities were 8.6% and 8.5%, respectively. The obligations under the
1994 bank credit facility mature in March 1998 (with respect to the term loan)
and in April 1999 (with respect to the revolving loan) and are guaranteed by the
Company.

The Company intends to refinance that portion of the indebtedness under the
1994 bank credit facility not repaid with the proceeds of this Offering on or
prior to the closing of the Offering. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth the consolidated capitalization of the
Company as of June 30, 1996, and as adjusted to reflect (i) the net proceeds to
be received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock offered hereby at an
assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share and (ii) the
application of the net proceeds of the Offering to redeem a portion of the
Redeemable Preferred Stock (at stated value plus accrued dividends thereon) and
to repay a portion of the Company's existing indebtedness under the 1994 bank
credit facility (including accrued interest).

income tax benefit associated with the accelerated accretion. With regard to
repayment of a portion of the 1994 bank credit facility, the adjustments
reflect deferred debt issue costs, net of related income tax benefits, as a
charge to stockholders' equity (deficit). The deferred debt issue cost
write-off will be charged against earnings, as an extraordinary item, net of
tax, in the period in which a portion of the 1994 bank credit facility is
repaid. Based on an assumed public offering price of $11.00 per share, this
charge is estimated to be $0.9 million before income taxes.

OVERVIEW

The Company sells its products to two primary customer markets: insurance
companies (approximately 70% of revenue in 1995) and collision repair
facilities. In addition, certain Company products and services are aimed at
improving the efficiency of both markets by enabling the two groups to
communicate electronically. The Company's principal products for the insurance
market are its TOTAL LOSS vehicle valuation services, used to estimate the value
of unrepairable vehicles, and its EZEST collision estimating software, used to
estimate the cost of repairing vehicles. The Company also offers insurers access
to EZNET, its communications network. The Company has recently introduced its
PATHWAYS workflow management software, which integrates the Company's
information and software products into a total workflow management solution for
insurance field appraisal staffs. The Company offers insurers its ACCESS claims
service, an integrated appraisal and restoration management service. The
Company's principal product for collision repair facilities is its EZEST
collision estimating software.

TOTAL LOSS services, generally obtained through direct dial-up access to the
Company's host-based valuation system, are billed to insurance companies on a
per valuation basis or under contract terms that specify fixed fees for a
prescribed number of transactions. Volume discounts affect pricing. PATHWAYS
collision estimating and EZEST customer subscriptions are billed monthly in
advance. EZNET communication services are generally priced on a per transaction
basis. ACCESS services are billed monthly to insurance companies and collision
repair facilities on a per transaction basis.

18
<PAGE>

For the year ended December 31, 1995, approximately $59.8 million, or 52%,
of the Company's revenues were earned under contracts with customers that
specify minimum purchase requirements. Contracts are generally for two to three
years. A substantial portion of the Company's remaining revenue represented
sales to customers that have been doing business with the Company for more than
10 years. Use of multi-year contracts is common practice within the industry,
making it difficult to take customers from competitors during the contract term.

A substantial portion of the Company's production and customer support and
general and administrative expense is fixed in nature. Sales commissions,
royalties, license fees and certain selling expenses generally vary with
revenue.

As a result of debt incurred in connection with the Company's 1988
acquisition of CCC, the Company became highly leveraged. The Company's ability
to invest in new product development and conduct its business in accordance with
its business plan was constrained by the limitations imposed by its acquisition
borrowings. The Company formed CCCDC to develop the EZEST collision estimating
software. To finance EZEST development and marketing efforts, the Company relied
on the sale of revenue streams from certain end-user collision estimating
contracts. These contract funding transactions provided essential liquidity
until June 1994, when the Company completed a recapitalization. In connection
with this recapitalization, White River acquired $39 million of Redeemable
Preferred Stock, and the Company entered into the 1994 bank credit facility.
Prior to April 1994 the Company accounted for its interest in CCCDC under the
equity method. In 1994, the Company acquired the 50% of CCCDC that it did not
previously own. Since the acquisition, the Company has consolidated CCCDC.

The principal payment obligations and the restrictive covenants of the 1994
bank credit facility have continued to constrain the Company's operating
activities. During the first half of 1996, the Company did not incur certain
operating expenditures and make certain investments that it would have made in
the absence of the 1994 bank credit facility covenants. As a result of these
delayed expenditures, the Company believes that its operating income increased
during the first half of 1996 by between $0.8 million and $1.0 million.

Depreciation expense includes depreciation attributable to certain software
acquired through the Company's acquisition of the joint venture interest in
CCCDC. In the purchase price allocation for the CCCDC acquisition, $5.2 million
was assigned to purchased software with a two year life, $13.8 million was
assigned to in-process research and development software projects, $6.6 million
was assigned to acquired tangible assets and the balance of $3.7 million was
assigned to goodwill. The amount assigned to in-process research and development
was charged against operating results at the time of the acquisition. As a
result of the expiration of the purchased software's two year life as of March
31, 1996, purchased software depreciation expense will decline by approximately
$2.0 million in 1996 versus 1995.

Research and development expense, which is principally the design and
development of new software and information products, is expensed as incurred.
Software development costs, if material, are capitalized when sufficient
evidence exists that technological feasibility has been established. There were
no significant software development costs subject to capitalization during the
three years ended December 31, 1995 or during the six months ended June 30,
1996.

The Company has offset the income tax benefit attributable to a portion of
the Company's future income tax deductions with tax valuation allowances because
of the Company's recent history of operating losses and an inability to project
future taxable income with certainty. This treatment increased the Company's
overall effective income tax rate in the years the deferred income tax valuation
allowances were provided. Such valuation allowances, $5.0 million at December
31, 1995, have been and will continue to be released to income and therefore
reduce the effective tax rate to the extent the Company continues to demonstrate
a predictable pattern of profitability.

</TABLE>

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

REVENUES. Total revenues increased by $6.7 million, or 11.8%, due primarily
to higher revenues from collision estimating software licensing, from EZNET and
from ACCESS claims services which offset lower revenues from the Company's TOTAL
LOSS services. Collision estimating software licensing revenue increased
primarily because of an increase in the number of software licenses principally
to collision repair facilities. This volume increase more than offset a
reduction in prices caused by competitive pressures. The increase in EZNET
revenue was due to additional EZNET network and recycled part locator
transactions, both at a slightly higher average price per transaction. The
increase in ACCESS claims services was due primarily to higher transaction
volume. The decrease in TOTAL LOSS revenue resulted from a reduction in
transaction volume offset in part by a higher average price per transaction.

PRODUCTION AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT. Production and customer support decreased
from $16.3 million, or 28.9% of revenues, to $15.5 million, or 24.5% of
revenues, due primarily to the Company's efforts to reduce production costs.

COMMISSIONS, ROYALTIES AND LICENSE FEES. Commissions, royalties and license
fees increased from $5.6 million, or 9.8% of revenues, to $6.7 million, or 10.5%
of revenues. The increase in such expenses as a percent of revenues was due
primarily to higher revenues from the licensing of collision estimating software
which generates both a sales commission and a data royalty.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
increased from $17.7 million, or 31.3% of revenues, to $19.0 million, or 30.1%
of revenues. In the first half of 1996, the Company experienced a charge for
severance cost, which was offset by the Company's deferral of certain operating
expenditures that it would have made in the absence of the 1994 bank credit
facility covenants.

20
<PAGE>

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRAMMING. Product development and programming
increased from $7.0 million, or 12.4% of revenues, to $8.1 million, or 12.7% of
revenues. The increase was due primarily to greater investment in product
development and wage pressure associated with hiring and retaining software
engineers.

INTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES. Interest expense declined from $3.1
million to $2.0 million, due primarily to lower average borrowings outstanding.
The effective income tax rate for the 1996 period was 20.0%, resulting primarily
from the release of certain deferred income tax valuation allowances. See Note 6
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

1995 COMPARED WITH 1994

REVENUES. Total revenues increased by $23.6 million, or 25.7%. The total
revenue increase includes the effect of consolidating CCCDC for a full year in
1995, versus use of the equity method during the first quarter of 1994 when
CCCDC recorded revenues of $11.4 million. Had CCCDC been consolidated for all of
1994, the 1995 over 1994 revenue increase would have been $13.3 million, or
13.0%. This increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher revenues
from collision estimating software licensing, from EZNET and from ACCESS claims
services. Collision estimating software licensing revenue increased primarily
because of an increase in the number of software licenses, particularly in the
collision repair facility market. TOTAL LOSS valuation service revenues were
down slightly, reflecting lower volume. In addition, sales of other products
increased, reflecting new product introductions. The increase in EZNET revenues
was due to additional EZNET network and recycled part locator transactions, with
EZNET at a slightly higher average price per transaction. The increase in
revenues for ACCESS claims services was due primarily to higher transaction
volume.

COMMISSIONS, ROYALTIES AND LICENSE FEES. Commissions, royalties and license
fees increased from $7.2 million, or 7.8% of revenues, to $11.7 million, or
10.1% of revenues. This increase in such expenses as a percent of revenues was
due primarily to a change in the mix of products sold, including higher revenues
from the licensing of collision estimating software, which generates both a
sales commission and a data royalty. The increase in revenue from licenses of
collision estimating software resulted from higher volume together with the
effect of consolidating CCCDC for all of 1995.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
increased from $33.4 million, or 36.4% of revenues, to $36.3 million, or 31.4%
of revenues, reflecting primarily the growth in the Company's revenues including
the effect on revenues of consolidating CCCDC for all of 1995.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased from
$8.3 million, or 9.1% of revenues, to $9.6 million, or 8.3% of revenues, due
primarily to the acquisition of CCCDC, effective March 30, 1994. As a result of
the acquisition, purchased software amortization, goodwill amortization and
depreciation expense increased $0.7 million, $0.1 million and $1.1 million,
respectively.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRAMMING. Product development and programming
increased from $10.1 million, or 10.9% of revenues, to $14.9 million, or 12.9%
of revenues. The increase was due predominantly to greater investment in product
development, relating in large part to the Company's PATHWAYS software, and wage
pressure associated with hiring and retaining software engineers. The increase
in these expenses as a percent of revenues also reflects the effect of
consolidating CCCDC for all of 1995.

PURCHASED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. In the CCCDC purchase price allocation,
$13.8 million was assigned to in-process research and development projects. The
amount assigned to in-process research and development software projects was
charged against operating results at the time of the acquisition. See Note 4 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

INTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES. Interest expense declined from $7.8
million to $5.8 million, due primarily to lower average borrowings outstanding,
reflecting the Company's June 1994 recapitalization, including the White River
transaction. The income tax benefit attributable to continuing operations
declined from $2.7 million to $0.3 million, due primarily to improvements in
results from continuing operations. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

21
<PAGE>
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT. The litigation settlement charge of $4.5 million was
recorded to provide for resolution of litigation involving a corporate publisher
of used car valuation books. This matter was settled in April 1996, however, the
original settlement charge was sufficient to provide for the ultimate
settlement. In June 1994 litigation involving an independent corporate provider
of guidebook data was settled. Under the settlement agreement the Company agreed
to pay the provider $1.75 million. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

1994 COMPARED WITH 1993

REVENUES. Total revenues increased by $40.7 million, or 79.3%, due
primarily to higher revenues from collision estimating software licensing and
the effect of consolidating CCCDC for the last three quarters of 1994. CCCDC
revenues for the last three quarters of 1994 totaled $34.1 million, of which
$31.9 million was attributable to collision estimating software licensing.
Increased volume in collision estimating software licensing was offset in part
by continuing competitive price pressures. In addition, revenues from total loss
valuation services increased, reflecting increased volume. Increased revenues
from sales of other products also contributed to growth in revenues.

PRODUCTION AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT. Production and customer support increased
from $15.1 million, or 29.5% of revenues, to $25.1 million, or 27.3% of
revenues. The increase in these expenses reflects principally the effect of
consolidating CCCDC for the last three quarters of 1994.

COMMISSIONS, ROYALTIES AND LICENSE FEES. Commissions, royalties and license
fees increased from $1.1 million, or 2.1% of revenues, to $7.2 million, or 7.8%
of revenues. This increase was due primarily to a change in the mix of products
sold, including higher revenues from the licensing of collision estimating
software and the effect of consolidating CCCDC. Collision estimating revenue
generates both a sales commission and a data royalty.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
increased from $22.9 million, or 44.7% of revenues, to $33.4 million, or 36.4%
of revenues, reflecting primarily the growth in the Company's revenues,
including the effect of consolidating CCCDC revenues for the last three quarters
of 1994.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased from
$2.2 million, or 4.2% of revenues, to $8.3 million or 9.1% of revenues, due
primarily to the acquisition of CCCDC, effective March 30, 1994. As a result of
the acquisition, purchased software amortization, goodwill amortization and
depreciation expense increased $2.0 million, $0.4 million and $3.4 million,
respectively.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRAMMING. Product development and programming
increased from $3.0 million, or 5.8% of revenues, to $10.1 million, or 10.9% of
revenues. The increase was due primarily to expenditures related to the
Company's PATHWAYS product line, and wage pressure associated with retaining
software engineers. This increase also reflected the effect of consolidating
CCCDC during the last three quarters of 1994.

LOSS ON LEASE TERMINATION. Loss on lease termination represents the present
value of future minimum lease payments under the Company's prior corporate
office lease and other related expenses.

LITIGATION SETTLEMENT. In June 1994 the litigation involving an independent
corporate provider of guidebook data was settled. Under the settlement agreement
the Company agreed to pay the provider $1.75 million. See Note 15 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

EQUITY IN LOSS OF CCCDC. Equity in loss of CCCDC declined from $3.6 million
to $0.6 million. This decrease reflects both the effect of consolidating CCCDC
for the last three quarters of 1994 and improvements in results of operations of
CCCDC.

22
<PAGE>
INTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES. Interest expense increased from $6.9
million to $7.8 million, due primarily to higher average borrowings outstanding.
This increase results primarily from interest expense attributable to contract
funding operations by CCCDC which was consolidated for the last three quarters
of 1994, offset in part by lower average borrowings reflecting the Company's
June 1994 recapitalization, including the White River transaction. The income
tax benefit attributable to continuing operations increased from $1.8 million to
$2.7 million, due primarily to an increase in losses from continuing operations.
See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(4) Interest expense in the second quarter of 1994 includes loan origination
points of $0.3 million related to the bridge loan used to acquire the Joint

The increase in quarterly operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
over the last two quarters of 1995 versus the same quarters in 1994 is
attributable primarily to an increase in systems development and programming and
a change in mix of products sold. The decline in operating expenses as a
percentage of revenues in the first half of 1996 versus the first half of 1995
is attributable to higher revenues and deferral of certain planned operating
expenditures that the Company would have made in the absence of the 1994 bank
credit facility covenants.

The Company's revenues and operating results have fluctuated in the past and
are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future, on both an annual and
quarterly basis. This fluctuation is attributable to a number of factors,
including, but not limited to: demand for the Company's products and services,
including new and enhanced products and services, the mix of products and
services sold, the hiring and compensation of employees, the timing of
promotional expenditures and competitive conditions. Many of these factors are
beyond the Company's control.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal liquidity requirements are for working capital to
fund investments in equipment and software, and to repay indebtedness. For the
six months ended June 30, 1996, net cash provided by operating activities was
$8.7 million. This amount was net of $2.3 million of contract funding revenue
amortization. The Company applied $1.8 million to purchase equipment and
software and $6.4 million to reduce outstanding debt. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, net cash provided by operating activities was $7.7 million.
This amount was net of $10.1 million of net contract funding revenue
amortization. The Company applied $3.0 million to purchase equipment and
software and $7.1 million to reduce debt. For the year ended December 31, 1994,
net cash provided by continuing operations was nominal, net of $8.0 million of
net contract funding revenue amortization. Net cash proceeds from borrowing were
$15.0 million. The Company applied

24
<PAGE>

cash from these sources to purchase $5.2 million of equipment and software. The
Company's proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations, net of cash used by
discontinued operations, was $1.6 million. In connection with the acquisition of
the 50% joint venture interest in CCCDC that it did not previously own, the
Company used $4.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and assumed liabilities
in the amount of $22.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 1993, net cash
provided by continuing operations was $6.0 million. The Company applied cash
from continuing operations to principal payments of long-term debt of $4.5
million and the balance of $1.5 million to advances to the Joint Venture. The
remainder of the Joint Venture advances were funded from available cash
balances. The Company anticipates that its purchase of equipment and software
will be approximately $6.1 million in 1996.

CCC entered into a bank credit facility arrangement in June 1994 in
connection with a recapitalization of the Company. The Company has guaranteed
CCC's obligations under the 1994 credit facility, which is secured by a lien on
CCC's assets and stock. The 1994 bank credit facility is structured as a $30
million term loan and a $10 million revolving credit facility. The interest rate
under the 1994 bank credit facility is a base rate (approximating the prime
rate) plus 1.5% or the Eurodollar rate plus 3.0%, as selected by the borrower.
The Company is negotiating a new credit facility to replace the 1994 bank credit
facility. The new credit facility would provide CCC with the ability to borrow
under a $20 million revolving line of credit and give CCC the option to borrow
up to $15 million under a term loan, provided that the gross proceeds of this
Offering are not less than $50 million nor greater than $70 million. The Company
intends to use the proceeds of this borrowing to repay the 1994 credit facility.
If the new credit facility is not consummated by CCC, the 1994 bank credit
facility will remain in place. The Company will guarantee CCC's obligations
under the new credit facility, which will be secured by a lien on CCC's assets
and stock. The interest rate under the new bank credit facility is the prime
rate from time to time in effect or the Libor rate plus 1.5%, as selected by
CCC.

In 1994 White River acquired $39.0 million of the Company's Redeemable
Preferred Stock in connection with the Company's recapitalization. A portion of
the Redeemable Preferred Stock will be redeemed from the proceeds of this
Offering at its stated value plus accrued dividends.

The Company continues to review various financing alternatives. The Company
believes that cash flows from operations and available bank lines of credit will
be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs in the next year. 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. See "Risk Factors -- Financial Position; Negative Working Capital;
Potential Financing Needs."

BUSINESS

GENERAL

OVERVIEW OF THE AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE CLAIMS PROCESS

Insurance premiums for U.S. private passenger automobiles totalled
approximately $98 billion in 1994. The Company estimates that about twelve
percent of automobile policy holders file claims each year on a total of
approximately 17 million vehicles. In 1994 these claims resulted in payments
totalling approximately $75 billion. Of this amount, approximately $35 billion
was paid for automobile damage and loss claims, of which the Company estimates
that $19 billion was paid to collision repair facilities, $13 billion was paid
for total loss claims, and the remainder was paid for other comprehensive
losses, for damage to other property and for settlement costs. These claims also
resulted in payments for personal injuries of approximately $40 billion,
including medical costs, lost wages, compensation for pain and suffering,
attorney fees and settlement costs.

Automobile claims generally involve three types of participants: automobile
insurance companies, service providers such as collision repair facilities and
attorneys, and consumers. The interaction among these parties in the processing
of a claim is referred to in this Prospectus as the "automobile claims
industry." The Company believes that the claims process has historically been
inefficient and contentious for the participating parties due in part to the
lack of independently verifiable claims data and inefficient communications
networks.

26
<PAGE>
THE AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE INDUSTRY

Of the approximately 400 companies offering private passenger automobile
insurance in the United States, the twenty largest providers account for over
60% of all automobile insurance premiums. Insurance companies compete
principally on the basis of price, marketing, consumer satisfaction and claims
paying ability. State agencies closely regulate the product offerings, claims
processes and the premium structure of insurance companies. In addition, the
laws of many states require motorists to carry liability insurance at specified
minimum levels.

The automobile insurance industry is changing rapidly. The automobile
insurance marketplace is experiencing price constraints as a result of
increasing competition and regulatory activity. At the same time, policy holders
are demanding ever higher levels of customer service. The growing complexity and
sophistication of automobile design and engineering is increasing the actual
repair cost (referred to in the industry as "severity") of collision claims. In
addition, the personal injury component of automobile insurance claims is rising
in part as a result of the increasing frequency of, and magnitude of, claims
involving alleged bodily injury, including soft-tissue claims. Competitive
pressures and resistance by policy holders and regulators to premium increases
are causing insurance companies to focus on managing costs.

The Company believes that the insurance industry's focus on cost management
has been accompanied by an increasing recognition that it is easier and more
cost effective to retain an existing policy holder than to lure a new customer
away from a competitor. Dissatisfaction with the claims handling process is a
frequently cited cause of policy non-renewal.

THE COLLISION REPAIR INDUSTRY

The collision repair industry, which historically has been extremely
fragmented, is consolidating. Approximately 63,500 collision repair facilities
were listed in telephone book advertisements in 1995, down from 71,000 such
listings in 1992. Most collision repair facilities are owner-operated,
single-location businesses which focus on a local market. The Company estimates
that 20,000 to 25,000 collision repair facilities have annual revenues in excess
of $300,000. These facilities tend to be larger, better capitalized and
increasingly rely on professional and sophisticated management who are adopting
new technology and wholesale marketing techniques to compete.

The costs to operate a collision repair facility have risen substantially
over the past decade. Modern automobile designs coupled with extensive
environmental regulations are forcing repair facilities to make significant
capital investments in increasingly sophisticated equipment and better training.
At the same time, insurance companies are looking to collision repair facilities
to assist in cost containment.

Of the approximately $22 billion in total revenue earned by U.S. collision
repair facilities in 1994, $19 billion, or 86%, was paid by insurance companies.
Because so much of their revenue is derived from insurers, collision repair
facility owners are increasingly shifting their marketing efforts from
consumer-oriented advertising to wholesale marketing and insurance company
referrals. For example, many collision repair facilities are seeking to
capitalize on insurance industry-driven trends such as the growth in direct
repair programs. A direct repair program, or DRP, allows an insured whose
automobile is involved in a collision to have the repair performed within a
pre-screened network of approved repair facilities. In order to participate in
DRPs with major insurance companies, collision repair facilities must meet
minimum standards for equipment, training and facilities. To ensure continued
satisfaction at both the referring insurance company and consumer level,
collision repair facilities must seek ways to improve productivity and optimize
the workflow of the automobile repair process. In order to achieve these goals,
collision repair facilities are making substantial investments in capital
equipment and computer technology.

THE AUTOMOBILE CLAIMS PROCESS

Insurance companies generally handle automobile physical damage claims in
one of three ways: through in-house staff appraisals, through direct repair
programs and through independent adjustments.

STAFF APPRAISAL. The insurance industry employs staff appraisers and claims
representatives who, the Company estimates, handle 70% to 75% of all automobile
claims. Staff appraisers handle a broad range of claims

27
<PAGE>

tasks, including appraisal, claims supplements, police reporting, total loss
files, salvage processing and settlement payments. Based on the Company's
internal estimates, staff appraisers typically handle twelve or more claims per
day when in a drive-in facility and three to five claims per day when in the
field. The Company believes that approximately 90% of insurance company staff
appraisers use collision estimating software to prepare collision repair
estimates. The Company estimates that the cost of a staff appraisal ranges from
$50 to $65 and that the average severity of a staff-appraised claim in 1995 was
$1,990.

DIRECT REPAIR PROGRAMS. Sixteen of the top twenty automobile insurers,
including each of the five largest, offer a direct repair program. The Company
estimates that 8% to 12% of all automobile claims are handled through a DRP, the
fastest-growing method for handling automobile claims. The Company believes that
DRPs present significant opportunities to both insurance companies and collision
repair facilities to increase the satisfaction of their customers. Surveys
demonstrate that DRPs result in higher consumer satisfaction than either of the
other claims handling methods. In addition, by eliminating several days from the
claims process, insurers utilizing DRPs reduce replacement rental car expense
and eliminate the costs associated with dispatching an adjuster to appraise each
vehicle. An automated DRP ensures accurate estimates, facilitates the use of
alternate replacement parts and increases the productivity of auditors and
reinspectors. The Company estimates that adjusters who formerly completed only
three to five estimates per day under a staff appraisal program can review 20 to
25 claims per day under a DRP. Participating collision repair facilities gain
volume and efficiency and reduce disputes with consumers and insurance
companies. The Company believes that the cost of a DRP appraisal ranges from $10
to $15 and that the average severity of a DRP-appraised claim in 1995 was
$2,029.

INDEPENDENT ADJUSTMENT. The Company estimates that independent claims
adjusters handle 15% to 22% of all automobile claims. Independent adjusters
offer their appraisal skills to a variety of insurance companies in a specific
geographic location. Insurers typically outsource claims to independent
adjusters where their market coverage does not justify hiring local staff or
when the volume of work exceeds local capacity. The Company estimates that fewer
than 10% of independent adjusters use automated collision estimating systems.
The absence of automation, coupled with the lack of management reports and
efficient inspection processes among independent adjusters, typically results in
both the highest average severity per claim and the highest average claims
handling expense. The Company estimates that the cost of an independent
appraisal ranges from $70 to $95 and that the average severity of an
independently-appraised claim in 1995 was $2,320.

NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE AUTOMOBILE CLAIMS PROCESS

The Company believes trends in the automobile insurance industry create
several identifiable needs. First, automobile insurers need to increase consumer
satisfaction through faster, more efficient claims handling procedures. Second,
insurance companies need to improve working relationships with their primary
service providers through the exchange of auditable data and improved
communication. Third, insurers need to integrate emerging technologies into
their legacy mainframe hardware and software systems. Finally, smaller insurance
companies need to become cost competitive with the major insurers by adopting
solutions which provide benefits of economies of scale.

Trends in the collision repair industry also present collision repair
facilities with several needs and opportunities. First, repair facilities need
to secure a steady supply of customers through efficient marketing and greater
connectivity to insurance companies. Second, repair facilities need to improve
their operating efficiency, business management and repair processing through
affordable information and decision making tools.

The Company believes there is also a need and market opportunity for
improved management of bodily injury claims, the largest component of automobile
claims settlement. In 1994 the cost of the 8.3 million claims for personal
injuries totalled approximately $40 billion. These claims resulted in
approximately 1.6 million lawsuits, of which 640,000 involved claims for soft
tissue damage.

The Company believes that improvements in the automobile claims process will
require that participants have ready access to data, decision making tools and
efficient communications. As a result, there is a need for integrated, efficient
solutions in the appraisal, repair and settlement processes which will speed
repairs, assure consumer satisfaction and save money.

28
<PAGE>

INSURANCE INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS

The Company offers innovative solutions that provide insurance companies
with decision control information and workflow tools to manage the process of
adjusting and settling total losses and repairable collision claims. These
solutions reduce claims costs, streamline claims processing and increase
consumer satisfaction. The Company believes it is the leading provider of
computerized claims-handling data and software to the insurance company total
loss valuation and automobile physical damage collision estimating markets.

The Company's solutions automate each of the three major claims handling
methods. To improve the staff appraisal process, the Company offers workflow
management software which allows the insurance company to integrate any or all
of the Company's specific claims management applications with the insurer's own
legacy applications. To improve the direct repair process, the Company offers a
suite of software and communication tools that automate the fastest-growing
claims handling methodology and provide insurers management control of their
DRPs. To improve the outsourced appraisal process, the Company offers an
alternative to independent adjusters which automates the assignment, collision
estimate and management of the entire claims and restoration process.

COLLISION REPAIR INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS

The Company offers the collision repair industry a value-added, secure
communications network which connects insurance companies and collision repair
facilities in a cooperative and efficient partnership to satisfy consumer needs.
The Company believes that its communication services and collision estimating
software permit its customers to increase business flow, improve decision
making, and increase operating efficiency. The process-control applications in
the Company's network, which processed more than $2 billion in repairable
automobile claims in 1995, improves and streamlines the automobile repair
process. The Company also offers modular collision repair facility management
software applications which enhance productivity and improve asset utilization.

THE CCC STRATEGY

The Company's objective is to enhance its position as a leading provider of
business solutions to the automobile claims industry by pursuing the following
business strategies:

GROW AND LEVERAGE INSTALLED USER BASE. The Company intends to enhance its
leadership in the physical damage segment of the automobile insurance industry.
The Company plans to increase market share by integrating new and existing
applications into its workflow management software and by the continued emphasis
on proactive field service and customer support.

29
<PAGE>
The Company also intends to grow its presence in the collision repair
industry by continuing to develop service and product offerings tailored to the
needs of collision repair facilities. Specifically, the Company plans to enhance
and expand its connectivity tools to facilitate the collision repair process and
to grow the volume of repairs settled through both insurance company DRPs and
through the Company's own claims management programs.

FOCUS ON LEADING INSURANCE COMPANIES. The Company believes that the leading
automobile insurance carriers drive new product innovation and influence the
buying decisions of participants in the claims process. Therefore the Company
focuses resources on twenty of the leading automobile insurance carriers, which
account for over 60% of total automobile insurance premiums and which have
different needs from those of smaller insurers. The Company believes that the
extent to which its services and products are widely accepted among the leading
insurance companies will grow the Company's network of collision repair facility
customers, which in turn will enhance the Company's relationships with other
insurance companies.

CAPITALIZE ON TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP. The Company has made a substantial
investment during the past two years in the development of an object-oriented
software framework which includes several hundred reusable business and system
objects. The PATHWAYS application suite is built on this framework. The Company
intends to maintain its technology leadership in the claims adjustment and
collision repair markets by continuing the evolution of its released
applications into object-oriented software modules and by maintaining the
quality and independence of its proprietary databases.

OFFER ALTERNATIVE TO INDEPENDENT ADJUSTER CLAIMS PROCESS. The Company
believes that independent claims adjustment, which carries the highest severity
and loss adjustment costs, presents a significant opportunity for an outsourced
claims management solution. The Company intends to offer its appraisal and
restoration management outsourcing solution as an alternative to independent
adjustment to insurers seeking higher levels of consumer satisfaction, together
with process and severity benefits.

BROADEN SCOPE OF CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS. The Company intends to
capitalize on its strong network of insurance company relationships, proprietary
databases and technology tools by expanding the scope of its services to other
areas of the automotive claims industry, including the processing and management
of litigation alleging bodily injury arising from automobile collisions.

OFFER TOTAL OUTSOURCING SOLUTION. The Company intends to use its claims
process management tools, together with the Company's growing network of service
providers, to create an outsourced claims solution for insurance companies. The
Company intends to offer its total outsourcing solution to small insurers which
lack the size and scale to process claims efficiently.

TOTAL LOSS SERVICE. The Company's TOTAL LOSS service provides insurance
companies the ability to effect total loss settlements on the basis of
market-specific values based upon physically inspected used car inventories. The
Company believes that its up-to-date vehicle database, which contains detailed
information about millions of vehicles physically inventoried on over 4,000
dealer lots, or recently advertised, is the most comprehensive in North America.
The Company uses its proprietary database and valuation software to provide
insurance companies with independent, current, local, market-values and vehicle
identification data. Each total loss valuation includes a vehicle identification
search under VINGUARD, the Company's vehicle identification number fraud
protection program which matches current claims against the Company's database
of 15.5 million previously totaled or stolen vehicles. The Company processes
about 1.5 million TOTAL LOSS claims per year.

EZEST COLLISION ESTIMATING. EZEST was the first stand-alone, PC-based
collision estimating system utilizing P-page logic to automate the process of
eliminating repair activity overlaps and automating all included operations and
ancillary repair work in preparing an estimate. EZEST provides automobile
insurers with fast and reliable estimates at a low cost. EZEST runs on any
IBM-compatible laptop or desktop computer and contains all nine volumes of the
Motor Crash Estimating Guide and other data necessary to build a quality
estimate. The Company licenses the Motor Crash Estimating Guide data from a
subsidiary of The Hearst Corporation. A unique feature of EZEST is its recycled
part valuation upgrade which will display and can automatically insert into the
estimate a predicted price of those recycled or salvage automotive parts
statistically known to be available in the local market in which the estimate is
written. Approximately two-thirds of EZEST'S insurance users have purchased this
upgrade. The EZEST software, Motor Crash Estimating Guide database and other
associated databases are updated via a monthly CD-ROM. EZEST is sold on a
monthly subscription basis to both insurers and collision repair facilities
under multi-year contracts. The Company has approximately 13,000 units
installed.

EZNET COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK. EZNET connects insurers with their appraisers
and repair network partners. EZNET'S process management capabilities provide the
information required to make appropriate and timely decisions, regardless of
location or settlement process. EZNET is used principally for the complete
electronic communication of work files and estimates to staff appraisers or DRP
partners and for the receipt of auditable estimate data. EZNET is the only
secure communications network tailored to provide value-added automated
communication service to participants in the automobile physical damage claim
process, including: mailboxing, library, messaging, intelligent routing,
assignment tracking and third party gateways. A unique feature of EZNET is the
electronic appraisal review feature which provides real-time exception reporting
to target re-inspections and improves management control of DRP networks. EZNET
also facilitates the management of car rental and salvage disposition. EZNET
processes approximately 400,000 automobile physical damage claims each month.
EZNET is sold both on a per transaction basis and on a monthly subscription
basis.

PATHWAYS APPRAISER WORKSTATION SOFTWARE. In April 1996, the Company began
delivery of PATHWAYS, its Windows-based appraiser workstation software designed
to better serve the overall workflow needs of insurance field staffs. PATHWAYS
offers a common, graphical user interface across all applications which
organizes claims in tabbed, electronic workfiles and reduces the time required
to learn or develop new software functions or applications. PATHWAYS includes a
workflow manager which assists users in managing all aspects of their day-to-day
activities, including receipt of new assignments, communication of completed
activity, electronic file notes and reports as well as the automatic logging of
key events in the claims process. The Company intends to integrate all of its
existing field applications into this platform and develop all future field
applications on PATHWAYS. PATHWAYS is fully integrated with the Company's
value-added communications network, allowing adjusters to operate in the field,
and thereby reduce office and other expenses. The initial PATHWAYS application
is PATHWAYS COLLISION ESTIMATING which provides all of the functionality of the
EZEST product while adding the functionality of total loss and settlement
processing, claim payment, salvage disposal and custom electronic forms. The
Company believes that the PATHWAYS system can reduce the field handled
automobile claims process by about one day. The Company currently has 140
installations. PATHWAYS is sold on a monthly subscription basis under multi-year
contracts.

ACCESS CLAIMS SERVICES. ACCESS is an outsourced vehicle appraisal and
restoration management service. Insurance companies use ACCESS to appraise and
settle claims without hiring either additional staff or independent appraisers.
ACCESS uses a network of Company certified, fully equipped repair facilities and
the

33
<PAGE>
Company's claims management tools to provide fast, low cost claims settlement
with high customer satisfaction. In addition, the Company provides reinspection
and restoration management staff for quality assurance. ACCESS is sold on a per
claim basis under multi-year agreements. The Company is currently processing
5,000 ACCESS claims per month.

EZFOCUS DIGITAL IMAGING. The EZFOCUS computerized digital photo imaging
system allows automobile insurers and collision repairers to visually document
vehicle damage and electronically communicate the image. This reduces claims
cycle time while eliminating film cost and saving travel and overnight delivery
expense.

GUIDEPOST DECISION SUPPORT. The Company recently added GUIDEPOST, an
executive information and data navigation software package to its tool set.
GUIDEPOST allows managers to electronically evaluate results, format reports,
drill down for subject or personnel review and compare performance to industry
and regional indices. GUIDEPOST is offered on a monthly CD and development for
network delivery is underway. While introduced as an element of the Company's
suite of electronic DRP and collision estimating tools, GUIDEPOST will be made
available for all the Company's products, extending the integration of a
multi-channel claims process.

ACCLAIM LITIGATION MANAGEMENT. ACCLAIM is an outsourcing service offered to
insurance companies for the processing and management of defined soft-tissue
bodily injury claims. ACCLAIM uses the Company's licensed case management
software and information management tools in connection with a national network
of lawyers to defend and dispose of lawsuits filed against insureds. ACCLAIM
services are sold to insurance companies on a fixed fee, per claim basis.
ACCLAIM is currently in pilot program status.

CUSTOMERS

The Company's business is based on establishing close long-term
relationships with the two primary users of the Company's services: automobile
insurance companies and collision repair facilities. Over 300 automobile
insurance carriers, including each of the top 50 insurance companies in the
United States, are customers of the Company. Most of the Company's insurance
customers are large, well capitalized businesses. State Farm, the Company's
largest customer, accounted for 12.4%, 16.1% and 27.1% of the Company's total
revenues for the three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Since first entering the collision repair market in 1992, the Company has
secured over 8,500 collision repair facility customers. The Company has
collision repair customers in all 50 states and in most major metropolitan
markets. Many of these customers use the Company's services and products as a
means to participate in insurance DRP programs, thereby making the use of the
Company's services and products important to the customer's business growth.

Over half of the Company's revenue for 1995 was for services and products
sold pursuant to contracts, which generally have a two to three year term. A
substantial portion of the Company's remaining revenue represented sales to
customers that have been doing business with the Company for at least ten years.
The Company's services and products are sold either on a monthly subscription or
a per transaction basis.

SALES AND MARKETING

The Company utilizes four different sales organizations to market and sell
its services and products.

STRATEGIC CLIENT DIVISION. The Strategic Client Division comprises 34
national account managers ("NAMs") and 31 client service managers ("CSMs") who
focus on the Company's overall relationships with the home and regional offices
of twenty leading insurance companies. NAMs are experienced sales professionals
charged with meeting customers' business needs with a consultative approach.
NAMs are responsible for home office relationships through which most major and
all company-wide contracts are signed and renewed. The CSMs were recruited from
a variety of major consulting firms with backgrounds in workflow/process
management and business systems analysis. The CSMs play a critical role in
reviewing customer business practices to benchmark current operations and to
identify opportunities for improvement. This serves the dual role of assisting
customers in the operation of their businesses, while concretely validating the
value of the Company's services and products when they are implemented. CSMs
often work closely with customer MIS staffs to assure smooth implementation of
more technically complicated and customized service offerings.

34
<PAGE>
NATIONAL SALES GROUP. The 26 national sales account managers in the
National Sales group market the Company's services and products to the home
offices of large and medium-sized insurance companies outside of the top 20
ranking. Managers in the National Sales group typically call on the president or
claims vice president and director of management information services of the
customer. The sales cycle for transactions in this division is normally shorter
than in the Strategic Client Division. Most ACCESS sales are made in the
National Sales division.

CLAIMS OFFICE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES. A total of 78 claims office account
executives are deployed geographically with responsibility for individual claims
offices of all of the Company's insurance company clients. These employees are
charged with on-going field training and support for the Company's
transaction-based businesses. The Company believes that its field service
organization is a competitive strength as its account executives assist claim
managers with the training of high turnover personnel, program result analysis
and problem resolution.

COLLISION REPAIR REPRESENTATIVES. The Company contracts with 85 independent
sales representatives to sell its products to collision repair facilities across
the country. These representatives are assigned geographic territories and often
employ sub-reps to increase presence in particular areas. The Company's
representatives are charged with calling on the approximately 20,000 to 25,000
targeted repair facilities with annual revenue over $300,000. The
representatives are highly experienced within the collision repair industry and
typically assist customers in dealing with a variety of business issues. The
Company also employs 5 sales managers who manage the sales representatives.

The Company's marketing efforts for the automobile insurance market are
conducted through three principal means. The Company believes that most claims
executives and managers learn about new technologies and solutions through sales
personnel, so the majority of the Company's insurance marketing dollars is
devoted to developing professional collateral materials for use by the sales
force. The Company sponsors an annual industry conference for senior claims
industry executives. The Company's senior managers are frequent speakers at
industry gatherings and are frequent authors of articles published in industry
and national print media.

The Company's marketing efforts for the automobile repair market are
conducted through participation in national and regional trade shows, lead
generating direct marketing programs, collateral materials and trade
advertising.

TRAINING AND SUPPORT

Field appraisers, claim representatives and collision repair facility owners
are dependent upon the Company's tools and information to make proper decisions
at the right time for high consumer satisfaction and managed restoration costs.
The Company believes its customer support is a competitive advantage in the
marketplace. The Company addresses its customer service needs through a customer
support staff which provides centralized hotline telephone support and field
implementation and training. The Company's support staff consists of individuals
with technical knowledge and experience relating not only to application
software, operating systems and network communications but also to the new and
used car automobile markets and collision repair. As of May 31, 1996, the
Company had 165 employees engaged in field and central customer support.

In addition to its customer support staff, the Company maintains the
industry's largest staff of professional field trainers who implement every new
sale. The Company's collision estimating support staff can diagnose most
software issues over the telephone and has the ability to download an
appraiser's entire hard drive telephonically if the problem proves significant.
The Company's total loss support staff can make modifications to claims, provide
regulatory information or additional backup for a valuation to facilitate
settlement. The Company routinely analyzes call type to modify products or
training and, whenever necessary, will dispatch a field representative to
provide process assistance.

TECHNOLOGY

Underlying each of the Company's principal services and products are
value-added databases which customers access using workflow-oriented software
and the Company's value-added communications network.

35
<PAGE>
TOTAL LOSS SERVICES AND PRODUCTS. The Company's proprietary database of
valuation data used in connection with its TOTAL LOSS services and products is
built through the Company's own data collection network. This network includes
detailed used car inventory and sales data from 4,000 automobile dealers in 192
metropolitan areas throughout the United States and Canada, as well as data from
local newspaper advertisements and prior transactions. The database includes
more than 15 million prior valuations, including theft data. The Company
maintains its total loss database on a mainframe computer which customers
directly access using the Company's proprietary communications network or by
telephone or facsimile.

PATHWAYS ENVIRONMENT. Over the past two years, the Company has built and
completed class libraries consisting of approximately 1,000 business and system
objects that serve as the foundation of its PATHWAYS product line. These objects
were designed with a work flow orientation and are used in a framework to manage
databases, maintain model persistence, create electronic workfiles, and
facilitate communications. These elements are used in conjunction with a common
graphical user interface for all applications. This approach is intended to
offer many advantages to the Company's customers, including ease of integration
of complementary systems and legacy applications. In addition, the graphical
user interface and object-oriented foundation of these services and products is
designed to enable faster introduction of additional application modules with
greater product quality assurance as well as easy integration with
customer-developed software applications. It is the Company's intent to build
all new products within this framework and to migrate existing products to it.
The Company believes this environment provides a competitive development
advantage.

COLLISION ESTIMATING SERVICES AND PRODUCTS. The Company offers its
collision estimating services and products through a personal computer-based,
open systems approach using its object-oriented design. The Company's principal
database for its collision estimating products is the Motor Crash Estimating
Guide published by a subsidiary of The Hearst Corporation. The Company licenses
this database under an agreement that grants to the Company a license to publish
the database electronically. This agreement includes the exclusive license for
P-page logic, the integral component of collision estimating software.

EZNET COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK. The Company's communications network, EZNET,
transmits and processes both staff and direct repair claims data. EZNET'S
Transport Layer provides reliable, secure data transmission. EZNET'S Workflow
Layer routes claims information and status updates to multiple recipients
according to insurance company preference and provides storage through network
mailboxes maintained by the Company. EZNET supports all major communications
protocols, including X25, SNA, ISDN and TCP/IP, as well as industry standards
such as CIECA.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRAMMING

The Company recognizes that its ability to maintain and grow its position in
the claims industry is dependent upon expansion of its products and services.
Investments in development are therefore critical to obtaining new customers and
renewals from existing customers. The Company's product development and
programming efforts principally consist of software development, development of
enhanced communication protocols and custom user interfaces, and database design
and enhancement. The Company employs approximately 160 people in its product
development organization. This group is comprised of database analysts, software
engineers, business systems analysts, product managers and quality assurance
employees responsible for client systems, server systems, data warehousing and
distribution systems. Product engineering activities focus on improving speed to
market of new products, services, and enhancements, adding new business
functions without affecting existing services and products, and reducing
development costs. The Company uses its class library of objects, knowledge of
its clients' workflows and its automated testing tools to deliver quality
workflow-oriented solutions to the marketplace quickly. These efforts provide a
significant competitive advantage to the Company in the development of new
services and products. The Company develops products in close collaboration with
its clients based on specific needs. The Company's total product development and
programming expense was $3.0 million, $10.1 million and $14.9 million for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company relies primarily on a combination of contracts, intellectual
property laws, confidentiality agreements and software security measures to
protect its proprietary technology. The Company distributes its

36
<PAGE>
products under written license agreements, which grant end-users a license to
use the Company's services and products and which contain various provisions
intended to protect the Company's ownership and confidentiality of the
underlying technology. The Company also requires all of its employees and other
parties with access to its confidential information to execute agreements
prohibiting the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company's technology.

The Company has trademarked virtually all of its services and products.
These marks are used by the Company in the advertising and marketing of the
Company's services and products. EZEST and CCC are well-known marks within the
automobile insurance and collision repair industries. The Company has patents
for its collision estimation product pertaining to the comparison and analysis
of the "repair or replace" and the "new or used" parts decisions. While the
total loss calculation process is not patented, the methodology and processes
are trade secrets of the Company and are essential to the Company's total loss
business. Despite these precautions, the Company believes that existing laws
provide only limited protection for the Company's technology and that it may be
possible for a third party to misappropriate the Company's technology or to
independently develop similar technology.

Certain data used in the Company's services and products is licensed from
third parties for which they receive royalties. The Company does not believe
that the Company's services and products are significantly dependent upon
licensed data, other than the Motor Crash Estimating Guide data, because the
Company believes it can find alternative sources for such data. Any interruption
of the Company's data sourcing arrangements could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is not engaged in any material disputes with other parties with
respect to the ownership or use of the Company's proprietary technology.
However, the Company has been involved previously in intellectual property
litigation, the resolution of which resulted in substantial payments by the
Company. There can be no assurance that other parties will not assert technology
infringement claims against the Company in the future. The litigation of such a
claim may involve significant expense and management time. In addition, if any
such claim were successful, the Company could be required to pay monetary
damages and may also be required to either refrain from distributing the
infringing product or obtain a license from the party asserting the claim (which
license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms).

COMPETITION

The market for the Company's products is highly competitive. The Company
competes primarily on product differentiation, customer service and price. The
Company's principal competitors are small divisions of two well capitalized,
multinational firms, ADP and Thomson. ADP offers both a PC-based collision
estimating system and a total loss product to the insurance industry. It offers
a different collision estimating system and a hardware-based digital imaging
system to the collision repair industry. Thomson publishes crash guides for both
the insurance and automobile collision repair industries and markets collision
estimating, shop management and imaging products. In addition, there are several
very small, collision estimating programs sold into the market which do not use
P-page logic. The Company has experienced steady competitive price pressure,
particularly in the collision estimating market, over the past few years and
expects that trend to continue. The strength of this trend may cause the Company
to alter its mix of services, features and prices.

In connection with the Company's strategy to provide outsourced claims
processing services, the Company will compete with other third-party service
providers, some of whom may have more capital and greater resources than the
Company.

The Company currently processes the vast majority of insurer-to-collision
repair facility repair assignment and estimate retrieval for DRPs through its
EZNET communications network. The Company believes there is a wide range of
prospective competitors in this service area, many of which have greater
resources than the Company.

EMPLOYEES

As of May 31, 1996, the Company had 878 full-time employees of whom 192 were
employed in sales and marketing functions, 164 were employed in customer support
functions, 165 in product development and

37
<PAGE>

quality assurance functions, 208 in operations and 95 in finance and
administration. The Company regularly seeks to identify skilled software
engineers and other potential employee candidates, and has found that
competition for personnel in the software industry is intense. The Company
believes its ability to recruit and retain highly skilled technical and other
management personnel will be critical to execute its business plans. The
Company's employees are not represented by any collective bargaining agreement
or organization. The Company believes that its relationships with its employees
are good.

FACILITIES

The Company's corporate headquarters are located in Chicago, Illinois where
the Company leases approximately 125,000 square feet of a multi-tenant facility
under a lease expiring in November, 2008. The Company also leases approximately
30,000 square feet in Glendora, California where a satellite development center
is housed, under a lease expiring in April, 1999. The Company believes that its
existing facilities and additional or alternative space available to it are
adequate to meet its requirements for the foreseeable future.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation arising
in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the
results of such litigation, even if the outcome were unfavorable to the Company,
would have a material adverse effect on its financial position.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Each member of the Board of Directors (except David M. Phillips) served as a
member of the Compensation Committee of the Company in 1995. The Company has
entered into certain transactions with the Loeb Entities, of which Thomas L.
Kempner is an affiliate, and with White River, of which Messrs. Byrne, Macklin
and Marto are affiliates. For further discussion of such transactions, see
"Certain Transactions."

The Compensation Committee has established salary and bonus levels for the
executive officers of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer, based
on a combination of objective and subjective criteria. With respect to salary
levels, such levels are set subsequent to the Committee's determination of the
executive officer's contribution, progress and development. Bonuses, which may
be up to 50% of an officer's salary, are awarded based on profit growth of the
Company (calculated using an EBIT formula) and based on the subjective criteria
used in establishing salary levels.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in 1988 and was
most recently amended in November 1994 in order to advance the interests of the
Company by affording key executives and employees an opportunity to acquire a
proprietary interest in the Company and thus to stimulate increased personal
interest in such persons in the success and future growth of the Company. The
Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. Pursuant to stock option agreements executed in connection with the
Stock Option Plan, Messrs. Ramamurthy, Buckner, Ornburg and Costin, were granted
stock options (the "Options") to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company
pursuant to the terms set forth in the various stock option agreements. A total
of 2,777,920 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to
all options issued under the Stock Option Plan. The Options are exercisable at
per share prices ranging from $0.25 to $11.20. The Options are exercisable
annually in 20% increments beginning on the date of issuance. Messrs.
Ramamurthy, Buckner, Ornburg and Costin have been granted Options to purchase
307,200, 170,000, 130,000 and 191,760 shares of Common Stock, respectively. The
Options may be exercised solely by the grantees, or in the case of such
grantee's death or incapacity, by the grantee's executors, administrators,
guardians or other legal representatives and are not assignable or transferable
by such grantee.

Company had the right to purchase the joint venture interest from White River at
its cost plus interest at the rate of 9% per annum. The Company exercised its
right to purchase in 1994 for an aggregate price of $6.9 million in cash.

During 1993 and 1994, the Loeb Entities purchased certain contracts from
CCCDC at prices determined by discounting the anticipated cash flow from these
contracts. The amounts paid to the Company totalled approximately $4.0 million
in 1993 and $3.8 million in 1994.

COMMON STOCK

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all
matters voted upon by stockholders, including the election of directors. The
holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock have agreed to certain
provisions regarding corporate governance, including the election of directors,
in the Stockholders Agreement, which will remain in effect after the completion
of the Offering. See "Principal Stockholders--Stockholders Agreement."

Subject to the rights of any then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the
holders of the Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared in
the discretion of the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefor. See "Dividend Policy." Holders of Common Stock are entitled to share
ratably in the net assets of the Company upon liquidation after payment or
provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of the
Preferred Stock then outstanding. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive
rights to purchase shares of stock in the Company. Shares of Common Stock are
not subject to any redemption provisions and are not convertible into any other
securities of the Company. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the
shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Offering will
be, upon payment therefor, fully paid and non-assessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of
Directors as shares of one or more classes or series. Subject to the provisions
of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
limitations prescribed by law, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to
adopt resolutions to issue the shares, to fix the number of shares and to change
the number of shares constituting any series, and to provide for or change the
voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional
or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof,
including dividend rights (including whether dividends are cumulative), dividend
rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption
prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting
any class or series of the Preferred Stock, in each case without any further
action or vote by the stockholders. The Company has no current plans to issue
any additional shares of Preferred Stock of any class or series.

One of the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable the
Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to
obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger
or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of the Company's management.
The issuance of shares of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Board of
Directors' authority described above may adversely affect the rights of the
holders of Common Stock. For example, Preferred Stock issued by the Company may
rank prior to the Common Stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or
both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares
of Common Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may
discourage bids for the Common Stock or may otherwise adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock.

THE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

In June 1994, the Company issued 5,000 shares of the Series C Preferred
Stock and 34,000 shares of the Series D Preferred Stock to White River. The
terms of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock are
generally the same, except the Series C Preferred Stock provides that so long as
White River or any of its affiliates owns at least fifty percent of the issued
and outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred
Stock shall have the right to elect a majority of the directors of the Company
(either through newly created directorships or through appointment following
resignations) in the event of and during the continuance of a default by the
Company in its obligations to either (i) redeem shares of the Series C Preferred
Stock or (ii) declare and pay dividends with respect to the Series C Preferred
Stock. Each share of the Redeemable Preferred Stock has a stated value of
$1,000.

DIVIDENDS. On the first dividend payment date (defined as November 30,
February 28, May 31, and August 31 of each year) following June 16, 1998 (the
fourth anniversary of the original issue date), the holders of shares of the
Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cash dividends, when and
as declared, at the dividend rate applicable from time to time as set forth
below, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event the Company fails to redeem shares of the
Redeemable Preferred Stock as required following the consummation of the

49
<PAGE>

Company's initial public offering of Common Stock, dividends shall be payable
commencing on the first dividend payment date following the 90th day following
the consummation of such initial public offering. Dividends on parity stock must
be declared to be paid either in full or else PRO RATA among all shares of
parity stock issued and outstanding. While any shares of Redeemable Preferred
Stock are outstanding, no dividends or distributions may be declared or paid
with respect to any stock (including the Common Stock) junior to the Redeemable
Preferred Stock, nor may any junior stock or parity stock (other than the Series
E Preferred Stock) be redeemed, purchased, or otherwise acquired for
consideration by the Company.

Dividends accrue from June 16, 1994 (the original issue date). The dividend
rate is applicable to the stated value of each outstanding share of the
Redeemable Preferred Stock. The dividend rate is 2.75% per annum from the
original issue date to and including the earlier of the date of consummation of
this Offering or June 16, 1998, and shall be 8.0% per annum thereafter, subject
to the following adjustments: (i) if the Company makes the required redemptions
of the Redeemable Preferred Stock from the proceeds of this Offering, then the
dividend rate shall be 0% from the date of the consummation of this Offering to
June 16, 1998; and (ii) if prior to the date of mandatory redemption of the
Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Company makes a good faith offer to purchase all
or any of the Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price equal to the stated value
plus accrued but unpaid dividends to and including the date set for repurchase,
and the holders of shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock refuse such offer with
respect to any shares subject to such offer, then the applicable dividend rate
with respect to such shares of the Redeemable Preferred Stock shall, after the
date fixed for repurchase, be the lesser of 1% per annum and the rate applicable
to such shares pursuant to clause (i) above.

REDEMPTION. Unless earlier redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions
described below, the Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be redeemed on June 16,
1999 at the stated value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to (and
including) the redemption date. Redemptions are to be made PRO RATA between the
Series C, Series D and Series E Preferred Stock and any other parity stock.

Concurrently with the consummation of an initial public offering of Common
Stock having proceeds to the Company in excess of $40,000,000, the Company is
obligated to redeem the lesser of (i) the number of shares of Redeemable
Preferred Stock then outstanding or (ii) the number of shares of Redeemable
Preferred having an aggregate stated value plus accrued but unpaid dividends
equal to 50% of the net proceeds to the Company from the initial public offering
of Common Stock. Similar provisions apply if the Company is required to make
loan payments from the proceeds or if the Company fails to make the required
redemptions.

The Company also may be required to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock
(i) in the event that the Company or a subsidiary fails to pay any principal or
interest on indebtedness when due or during an applicable grace period or (ii)
in the event that notice of acceleration of the maturity or required prepayment
and demand for payment is received, in either case with respect to indebtedness
in an aggregate amount in excess of $500,000. In such event, the holders of a
majority of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock shall have the sole
discretion to determine the action to be taken on behalf of the Company with
respect to such indebtedness.

For so long as White River or its affiliates own any shares of the Series C
Preferred Stock, the Company may not engage in certain business combinations
unless all of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock have been redeemed.

VOTING. Except as described above with respect to the Series C Preferred
Stock and except as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, none of
the holders of issued and outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock shall have
voting rights, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 66 2/3% of each series of the Redeemable Preferred Stock, voting
separately as a class, shall be necessary (i) to authorize, create or increase
the authorized or issued number of shares of, or issue any shares of any class
or series of parity stock or senior stock or (ii) amend, alter or repeal any of
the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or the
applicable certificate of designations that would materially and adversely
affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the respective series
of Redeemable Preferred Stock or the holders thereof. In the event of an
issuance of shares of Series E Preferred Stock in exchange for shares of Series
D Preferred Stock as described in "The Series E Preferred Stock" below, shares
of the Series E Preferred Stock would have the voting rights described below.

50
<PAGE>

SERIES C DEFAULT RIGHTS. So long as White River or its affiliates
beneficially own at least 50% of the issued and outstanding Series C Preferred
Stock, if the Company shall fail (i) to discharge its obligation to redeem
shares of Series C Preferred Stock (a "Redemption Default") or (ii) to declare
and pay in full the dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock within 90 days
after the Company is required to do so (a "Dividend Default") the number of
directors shall be increased by the number of directors necessary to constitute
a majority of the directors of the Company, and the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect
directors to fill such newly created directorships. In the case of a Redemption
Default, such directors and voting rights shall continue until White River and
its affiliates shall cease to own at least 50% of the shares of issued and
outstanding Series C Preferred Stock. In the case of a Dividend Default, such
additional directors and voting rights shall continue until such time as the
Dividend Default no longer exists. If the number of directors cannot be
increased as provided above, the Company shall take all actions necessary to
implement the intent of these provisions, including causing the resignation of
directors to create vacancies to be filled by the action of the holders of the
outstanding Series C Preferred Stock.

THE SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK

The Company and White River have entered into the White River Agreement that
provides that the Company, within three days following receipt of written
notification from White River to the effect that the number of shares of Common
Stock owned by White River represents less than a majority of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock, will issue to White River 500 shares of the
Series E Preferred Stock in exchange for 500 Shares of the Series D Preferred
Stock. The White River Agreement was entered into in order to allow White River
to comply with an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission exempting White River from the registration requirements of the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

The terms of the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock
are generally the same, except that shares of the Series E Preferred Stock carry
certain voting rights if they are beneficially owned by White River or any of
its affiliates. In such circumstances, White River and its affiliates that own
any shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote together with
the holders of Common Stock and all other securities entitled to vote on all
matters voted on by holders of Common Stock. The number of votes which each
share of Series E Preferred Stock may cast is determined according to a formula,
the effect of which is to cause White River and its affiliates, through their
ownership of shares of Common Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, to have 51% of
the votes to be cast on any matter to be voted upon by the holders of the Common
Stock for so long as all of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are issued,
outstanding and held by White River and its affiliates. Therefore, for so long
as all of the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock were held by White River or
its affiliates, White River would be able to control 51% of the votes cast with
respect to any matter to be voted upon by holders of the Common Stock regardless
of the actual number of shares of Common Stock held by White River.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, BYLAWS AND DELAWARE LAW

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Company
shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the
Delaware Law or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the
rights of the Company and its stockholders (through stockholders' derivative
suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director (including breaches resulting from
grossly negligent behavior), except in the situations described above.

The Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permissible under the Delaware Law. These
indemnification provisions require the Company to indemnify such persons against
certain liabilities and expenses to which they may become subject by reason of
their service as a director or officer of the Company. The provision also set
forth certain procedures, including the advancement of expenses, that apply in
the event of a claim for indemnification.

51
<PAGE>
DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW. The Company will not be subject to the
provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware Law ("Section 203"). Section 203
provides, with certain exceptions, that a Delaware corporation may not engage in
any of a broad range of business combinations with a person or an affiliate, or
associate of such person, who is an interested stockholder for a period of three
years from the date that such person became an interested stockholder.

A corporation may, at its option, exclude itself from the coverage of
Section 203 by amending its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, by action of
its stockholders to exempt itself from coverage, provided that such bylaw or
certificate of incorporation amendment shall not become effective until twelve
months after the date it is adopted. In its amended and restated Certificate of
Incorporation to be filed upon the completion of this Offering, the Company will
exclude itself from the coverage of Section 203.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The Company's transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is The First
National Bank of Chicago.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this Offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock of the
Company. Future sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public
market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time.
Several of the Company's principal stockholders hold a significant portion of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock, including White River which holds
8,584,564 shares representing 51.9% of the Common Stock and a decision by one or
more of these stockholders to sell their shares could adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock. The Stockholders Agreement provides that in
connection with a public offering subsequent to this Offering the Management
Stockholders may not sell more than a number of shares of Common Stock which
exceeds either 10% of the then total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding or 50% of the total shares of Common Stock then being offered
without the written consent of the White River Stockholders.

Upon completion of this Offering, the Company will have outstanding
22,026,800 shares of Common Stock (22,851,800 shares if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full). Of these shares, the shares sold in
this offering will be freely tradeable without restriction under the Securities
Act, unless purchased by "affiliates" of the Company as that term is defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Of the remaining 16,526,800 shares, 808,000
shares which are not held by affiliates and not subject to the lock-up
agreements described below will also be freely tradeable.

The remaining 15,718,800 shares held by existing stockholders will be
"restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities
Act ("Restricted Shares"). Restricted Shares may be sold in the public market
only if registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption
from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which is
summarized below. Sales of the Restricted Shares in the public market, or the
availability of such shares for sale, could adversely affect the market price of
the Common Stock.

Holders of 14,911,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company have entered
into contractual lock-up agreements providing that they will not sell, contract
to sell or grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of the shares of
Common Stock owned by them or that could be purchased by them through the
exercise of options to purchase Common Stock of the Company for 180 days after
the effective date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of
Hambrecht & Quist LLC. As a result of these contractual restrictions,
notwithstanding possible earlier eligibility for sale under the provisions of
Rule 144, shares subject to lock-up agreements will not be saleable until the
agreements expire.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons
whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned Restricted Shares for at
least two years (including the holding period of any prior owner except an
affiliate) would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of
shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding (approximately 220,300 shares
immediately after this Offering), or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of
the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a Form
144 with respect to such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain
manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of
current public information about the Company. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is
not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company at any time during the 90
days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be
sold for at least three years (including the holding period of any prior owner
except an affiliate), is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the
manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of
Rule 144.

Shortly after this Offering, the Company intends to file a registration
statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act covering shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance under the Company's Stock Option Plan. Based on the number
of shares reserved for issuance, such registration statement would cover
approximately 2,777,900 shares. Such registration statement will automatically
become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such
registration statement will, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations applicable
to affiliates, be available for sale in the open market, unless such shares are
subject to vesting restrictions with the Company or the lock-up agreements
described above.

Underwriters named below, through their Representatives, Hambrecht & Quist LLC,
Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., have severally
agreed to purchase from the Company the following respective numbers of shares
of Common Stock:

</TABLE>

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters
are subject to certain conditions precedent, including the absence of any
material adverse change in the Company's business and the receipt of certain
certificates, opinions and letters from the Company and its counsel and
independent auditors. The nature of the Underwriters' obligation is such that
they are committed to purchase all shares of Common Stock offered hereby if any
of such shares are purchased.

The Underwriters propose to offer the shares of Common Stock directly to the
public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess
of $ per share. The Underwriters may allow and such dealers may reallow a
concession not in excess of $ per share to certain other dealers. The
Underwriters have informed the Company that they do not intend to confirm sales
to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority. After the
initial public offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling
terms may be changed by the Representatives of the Underwriters.

The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable no later
than 30 days after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to 825,000
additional shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price, less the
underwriting discount, set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. To the
extent the Underwriters exercise this option, each of the Underwriters will have
a firm commitment to purchase approximately the same percentage thereof which
the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by it shown in the above
table bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock offered hereby. The
Company will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell shares to the
Underwriters to the extent the option is exercised. The Underwriters may
exercise such option only to cover over-allotments made in connection with the
sale of Common Stock offered hereby.

The offering of the shares is made for delivery when, as and if accepted by
the Underwriters and subject to prior sale and to withdrawal, cancellation or
modification of the offering without notice. The Underwriters reserve the right
to reject an order for the purchase of shares in whole or in part.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute
to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

The Company and certain stockholders, including all of the Company's
executive officers and directors, who own in the aggregate 14,911,500 shares of
Common Stock, have agreed that they will not, without the prior written consent
of Hambrecht & Quist LLC, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of
Common Stock, options, rights or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock, or
securities exchangeable for or convertible into

54
<PAGE>
shares of Common Stock during the 180-day period commencing on the date of this
Prospectus, except that the Company may grant additional options under its Stock
Option Plan, provided that, without the prior written consent of Hambrecht &
Quist LLC, such additional options shall not be exercisable during such period.

Two entities affiliated with Hambrecht & Quist LLC, H&Q CCC Investors L.P.
("Investors L.P.") and H&Q London Ventures (together with Investors L.P., the
"Hambrecht & Quist Stockholders") are stockholders of the Company. The Hambrecht
& Quist Stockholders currently hold 1,462 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock
(3.8% of the total outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock) and 264,407 shares of
Common Stock (1.4% of the total outstanding Common Stock). The Hambrecht & Quist
Stockholders acquired these shares in June 1994 contemporaneously with the
investment in the Company by White River. The predecessor of Hambrecht & Quist
LLC acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with that
transaction and received a fee of $1.8 million. A portion of the shares of
Redeemable Preferred Stock held by the Hambrecht & Quist Stockholders will be
redeemed from the proceeds of the Offering on the same terms as will those of
White River. Further, a Managing Director of Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, one of the
Representatives, is the son of a member of the Company's Board of Directors and
beneficially owns indirectly 45,778 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. The initial public offering price for the Common Stock will be determined
by negotiation among the Company and the Representatives. Pursuant to the terms
of the Stockholders Agreement Messrs. Kempner, Phillips and Stanfield have been
delegated authority of the board of directors of the Company to negotiate the
timing, price and other terms of this Offering. See "Principal Stockholders --
Stockholders Agreement." Among the factors to be considered in determining the
initial public offering price are prevailing market and economic conditions,
revenues and earnings of the Company, market valuations of other companies
engaged in activities similar to the Company, estimates of the business
potential and prospects of the Company, the present state of the Company's
business operations, the Company's management and other factors deemed relevant.
The estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover of this
Prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other
factors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
CCC Information Services Group Inc.

The stock split described in Note 17 to the consolidated financial
statements has not been consummated at June 30, 1996. When it has been
consummated, we will be in a position to furnish the following report:

"In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the
related consolidated statements of operations and stockholders' deficit
and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of CCC Information Services Group Inc. (formerly
known as InfoVest Corporation) (a subsidiary of White River Ventures,
Inc.) and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above."

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATION

CCC Information Services Group Inc. (Company) (formerly known as InfoVest
Corporation), through its wholly owned subsidiary CCC Information Services Inc.
(CCC), is a leading supplier of automobile claims information and processing,
claims management software and value-added communication services. The Company's
technology-based services and products enable more than 300 automobile insurance
company customers and more than 8,500 collision repair facility customers to
improve efficiency, manage costs and increase consumer satisfaction in the
management of automobile claims and restoration.

After the disposition of certain subsidiaries, as described in Note 5, and
through April 30, 1995, the Company consisted of two primary operating entities:
CCC and CCC Development Company (Joint Venture). The Company acquired its former
partner's 50% interest in the Joint Venture, through the acquisition of UCOP,
Inc. (UCOP), effective March 30, 1994. As a result of this acquisition, in
combination with its original 50% interest in the Joint Venture, the Company
acquired a 100% equity ownership interest in the Joint Venture. Prior to its
acquisition of UCOP, the Company accounted for its 50% interest in the Joint
Venture under the equity method. CCC also operates a subsidiary in Canada, CCC
of Canada, Ltd. (CCC Canada).

As of December 31, 1995, White River Ventures, Inc. (White River) held
approximately 52% of the total outstanding common stock of the Company. White
River is a wholly owned subsidiary of White River Corporation.

NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are currently wholly owned.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Vehicle valuation, claims management and other service revenues are
recognized as services are provided. Software licensing revenues are recognized
on a straight-line basis, commencing with product delivery, over the life of
related licensing agreements. Of total Company revenues in the years 1993, 1994
and 1995, 88%, 79% and 70%, respectively, were attributable to revenues from
insurance companies. In addition, revenues attributable to one national
multi-line insurance company in the years 1993, 1994 and 1995 totaled $13.9,
$14.8 and $14.3 million, respectively.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable as presented in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet are net of reserves for customer credits and doubtful accounts. As of
December 31, 1994 and 1995, and June 30, 1996, reserves of $0.9 million, $1.5
million, and $1.5 million (unaudited), respectively, have been applied as a
reduction of accounts receivable. Of total accounts receivable, net of reserves,
at December 31, 1994 and 1995, $6.9 million and $8.4 million, respectively, were
due from insurance companies.

INTERNAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development expenses, principally the design and development of
software products, are expensed as incurred. Software costs, if material, are
capitalized when sufficient evidence exists that technological feasibility has
been established. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of
both a product design and a working model, and confirmation of the model's
consistency with the design through detailed testing. For the years 1993, 1994
and 1995, research and development expenses of approximately $1.5 million, $2.8
million and $3.5 million, respectively, are reflected in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations. There were no significant software
development costs subject to capitalization during the three years ended
December 31, 1995.

F-7
<PAGE>
CCC INFORMATION SERVICES GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
EQUIPMENT AND PURCHASED SOFTWARE

Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation
of equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives
ranging from 2 to 15 years.

Purchased software to be marketed is stated at cost and amortized in
proportion to anticipated future revenues or on a straight-line basis over the
estimated economic life of the purchased software, whichever provides the
greater rate of amortization. In 1994 and 1995, amortization of purchased
software to be marketed was $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

GOODWILL

The excess of purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of
identifiable tangible and intangible net assets of acquired businesses is
capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of 7 or 20
years. Goodwill is periodically reviewed to determine recoverability by
comparing its carrying value to expected undiscounted future cash flows.

DEBT ISSUE COSTS

Debt issues costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of CCC's
commercial bank debt. As of December 31, 1994 and 1995, deferred debt issue
costs, net of accumulated amortization, of $1.7 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, were included in other assets.

CONTRACT FUNDING

Future revenue streams under certain end-user collision estimating contracts
(Contracts) have been discounted and sold to various investors. Cash proceeds
from a sold Contract equals the Contract's future revenue stream, discounted at
an annual rate of approximately 14%, less, for certain Contracts, investor
reserves for customer nonperformance under the Contracts. Sales proceeds, which
are remitted directly to the investors in these Contracts, and related interest
expense are recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations
as revenue and interest expense, respectively, over the life of the Contract.

PER SHARE INFORMATION

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents using the treasury stock
method for stock options in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83 of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of December 31, 1995, the carrying amount of the Company's financial
instruments approximates their estimated fair value based upon market prices for
the same or similar type of financial instruments.

PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated financial statements, and that affect the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The interim consolidated financial statements presented as of and for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited. With respect to the
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, 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 the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 should not be
regarded as necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any future
period.

CCC INFORMATION SERVICES GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 (unaudited).

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 3 -- NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The Company directly charges accumulated deficit for preferred stock
accretion and preferred stock dividends accrued. During 1993, 1994 and 1995,
these amounts totaled $0.0 million, $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

In addition to amounts reported as purchases of equipment in the
consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company has directly financed certain
noncash capital expenditures. During 1993, 1994 and 1995, these noncash capital
expenditures totaled $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

In June 1994, as part of a reorganization and recapitalization of the
Company, debt and equity issue costs of $1.1 million and $0.5 million,
respectively, were paid on behalf of the Company by its commercial bank. See
Notes 11 and 12.

NOTE 4 -- ACQUISITION OF PARTNER'S INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURE
On March 30, 1994, White River acquired the stock of UCOP. Also on March 30,
1994, the Company entered into a Call Agreement with White River to purchase the
stock of UCOP from White River within 180 days. On May 31, 1994, using cash
generated through a commercial bank bridge loan, the Company completed the
acquisition of UCOP's interest in the Joint Venture by purchasing the stock of
UCOP from White River for $6.9 million.

As of the date of its acquisition, UCOP's only business was its 50%
investment in the Joint Venture. The purchase price of $6.9 million, plus
liabilities assumed of $22.4 million, have been allocated to the estimated fair
value of tangible and intangible assets acquired. In the purchase price
allocation, $5.2 million was assigned to purchased software, $13.8 million was
assigned to in-process research and development software projects, $6.6 million
was assigned to acquired tangible assets and the balance of $3.7 million was
assigned to goodwill. The amount assigned to in-process research and development
was charged against operating results at the time of the acquisition.

the acquisition, (b) elimination of the charge for purchased research and
development of $13.8 million, (c) elimination of interest expense of $0.3
million related to the bridge loan used to acquire UCOP and (d) adjustment of
income taxes attributable to the pro forma adjustments. The above pro forma
information is not necessarily indicative of what actual results would have been
had the acquisition, in fact, occurred on January 1, 1994.

NOTE 5 -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On August 25, 1994, the Company sold (a) the net operating assets of Credit
Card Service Corporation, which had previously been accounted for as a
discontinued operation and (b) all the capital stock of Original Research II
Corporation (ORC), GIS Information Systems, Inc. (GIS) and Equitel Corporation.
Net cash proceeds from the sale of these businesses totaled $6.2 million. In
conjunction with the sale, the Company acquired, for $530 thousand, a 4.5%
common equity interest in Faneuil ISG, a Canadian Corporation that will conduct
the future operations of these businesses. As of December 31, 1995, this

The Company established tax valuation allowances because of its history of
operating losses and an inability to project future taxable income with
certainty. Such valuation allowances will be released to income if and to the
extent the Company is able to successfully achieve a recapitalization and
demonstrate a predictable pattern of profitability.

Net operating loss carryforwards totaled $322 thousand as of December 31,
1995. These net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2005.

Prior to the current calendar year, the Company's fiscal year-end was April
30. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently examining the Company's
income tax returns for fiscal years 1992 through 1994. All Company income tax
returns for fiscal years prior to 1992 are closed to further examination by the
IRS.

NOTE 11 -- LONG-TERM DEBT
Term loan and revolving credit facility interest is based on either of two
interest rates selected periodically by the Company: a base rate plus 1.5% or
the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.0%. The base rate must be the highest of three
alternative rates that all generally approximate prime rate. The average
interest rate in effect during the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 for
the term loan and revolving credit facility was 8.3% and 8.4%, and 9.15% and
9.03%, respectively. Through a separate transaction, interest on the term loan
has been capped at 12% through May 1996. The timing of interest payments on both
the term loan and revolving credit facility vary depending on the applicable
interest rate selected by the Company. Generally, however, interest payments are
made quarterly. In addition, the Company pays an annual bank agent's fee of $50
thousand and a commitment fee of 0.5% on any unused portion of the revolving
credit facility. The term loan is repayable in installments through 1999. The
revolving credit facility is reduced to $5 million in 1998 and terminates in
1999.

The loans are secured by the stock and assets of CCC. In addition, the
Company has guaranteed CCC's performance under the loan agreement. Effective
April 29, 1995, the loan agreement was amended to adjust certain restrictive
covenants. Under the amended agreement, CCC must, among other things, maintain
quarterly debt service and interest coverage ratios, limit its capital
expenditures. In addition, the Company is prohibited from: (a) declaring cash
dividends, (b) incurring nonpermitted indebtedness and (c) making nonpermitted
investments. In addition, CCC may not absorb more than $1.5 million of corporate
expenses allocated from its parent. Beginning in 1997, CCC would be permitted to
declare cash dividends in an amount

NOTE 12 -- MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

On June 16, 1994, pursuant to a reorganization and recapitalization, the
Company issued: (a) 5,000 shares of its preferred stock, par value $1.00,
designated as Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred
Stock), (b) 34,000 shares of its preferred stock, par value $1.00, designated as
Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series D Preferred Stock) and
(c) 176,271 shares of its common stock, par value $0.10, to White River in
exchange for the Company's subordinated debt and Series A, B and C warrants
acquired from the original subordinated debtholders by White River on April 15,
1994. At the date of exchange, the subordinated debt consisted of a principal
balance of $41.7 million and accrued interest of $2.7 million. In recording the
exchange, $3.9 million and $25.7 million were assigned to the Series C and
Series D Preferred Stock, respectively. The balance of $14.8 million, less
certain transaction costs of $2.4 million, was assigned to common stock and
credited to paid-in capital. During the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995
and the six months ended June 30, 1996, the original discount on the Series C
and Series D Preferred Stock accreted $0.9 million, $1.9 million and $1.1
million (unaudited), respectively, and dividends of $0.6 million, $1.1 million
and $0.5 million (unaudited), respectively, were accrued.

The Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock (collectively,
Preferred Stock) have a stated value of $1 thousand per share and accrue
cumulative dividends at a rate of 2.75% annually through the earlier of: (a) an

would increase to 8%. No dividends are payable in cash until the earlier of (a)
June 16, 1998 or (b) the failure of the Company to meet the prescribed
redemption obligations following consummation of an IPO. The Preferred Stock is
mandatorily redeemable, at stated value plus accrued dividends, on June 16,
1999.

NOTE 13 -- STOCK OPTION PLAN

In May 1988, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a nonqualified stock
option plan. Under the plan, as amended in 1992, options may be granted at a per
share price of not less than the greater of $55 or the fair market value as of
the date of grant, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (Committee). Options are generally exercisable within 5 years from the
date of grant, subject to vesting schedules determined at the discretion of the
Committee. In general, however, option grants vest over 4 years. As a result of
the Company's June 1994 reorganization and recapitalization, under an agreement
with White River, the number of incremental options that may be granted under
the plan subsequent to June 16, 1994 has been limited to 3% of outstanding stock
on June 16, 1994 or 488,880 shares.

In conjunction with the sale of the Faneuil Group, CCC entered into a
contract with GIS, under which GIS is to provide certain computer services to
CCC through June 1999 at approximately market rates. The contract prescribes
that CCC make minimum payments to GIS through June 1997 and provides an option
under which CCC can elect to extend the contract for certain services through
June 1999. As of December 31, 1995, future minimum payments due GIS under the
contract were as follows:

CCC has guaranteed the payment of certain ORC lease obligations. As of
December 31, 1995, future ORC lease payments guaranteed by CCC total $448
thousand in 1996. The Company does not expect to sustain any loss as a result of
these guarantees.

NOTE 15 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 10, 1994, the litigation involving an independent corporate provider
of guidebook data was settled. In this matter, the plaintiff alleged copyright
infringement, among other things. Under the settlement agreement CCC has paid
the plaintiff $1.75 million. The parties also entered into a five year agreement
under which CCC is licensing the guidebook data at market rates. The settlement
charge is reported under litigation settlements in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1994.

In April 1995, the Company recorded a litigation settlement charge of $4.5
million in connection with the litigation involving an independent corporate
publisher of used car valuation books. In December 1995, substantive settlement
discussions were held. As a result of those discussions, the parties
conditionally agreed to a settlement structure that would resolve all
outstanding disputes.

All conditions precedent to the settlement agreement were satisfied in 1996.
As a result, all issues arising out of the litigation between the parties have
been fully and completely settled and each civil action had been dismissed with
prejudice. The settlement amount approximated the settlement charge previously
recorded. 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 (unaudited).

NOTE 15 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED)
The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings in the ordinary
course of business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these
other matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position.

NOTE 16 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Prior to the June 1994 recapitalization, certain Joint Venture Contracts
were discounted and sold to a major stockholder of the Company. As of December
31, 1994 and 1995, $2.0 million and $0.6 million was payable by Company
customers to the stockholder. The discount rate applied to these Contracts was
approximately the same as the rate applied to Contracts purchased by unrelated
entities.

During May and June 1994, under two separate note agreements, a major
stockholder of the Company loaned Phone Base a total of $375 thousand. The notes
bear interest at 16% and are secured by Phone Base accounts receivable.
Subsequently, Phone Base repaid the stockholder $87 thousand in principal plus
accrued interest. On July 1, 1994, the Company purchased this stockholder's
rights under these notes for a purchase price of $288 thousand.

During June 1993, Phone Base entered into a royalty agreement with a
third-party computer system manufacturer under which Phone Base is to receive
royalties from sales of computer systems incorporating certain Phone Base
software technology. Subsequently, two Company directors, one of whom is also a
Company officer, and White River collectively purchased from Phone Base $1.6
million of participation interests in these royalties. The royalty participation
interests entitle the parties to 64% of all future royalties paid to Phone Base
under the agreement. To date, no royalties have been paid to Phone Base. On
August 26, 1994, the Company acquired the White River royalty participation
interest of $150 thousand at face value plus accrued interest at 9% through the
date of purchase.

On May 5, 1994, under an unsecured promissory note, White River loaned $200

CCC DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
(AN EQUITY INVESTEE OF CCC INFORMATION SERVICES GROUP INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

In September 1989, CCC Information Services Group Inc. (Company) (formerly
InfoVest Corporation), through a wholly owned subsidiary, and UCOP Inc. (UCOP),
an unrelated corporation, formed CCC Development Company (CCCDC or Joint
Venture), a partnership whose purpose was to develop a personal computer based
collision repair estimating system for automobiles. In November 1990, the
Company and UCOP executed a Joint Venture and Distribution Agreement, under
which both partners established their 50% interests in the Joint Venture.

As a result of a series of transactions involving White River Ventures, Inc.
(White River), the Company acquired its former partner's 50% interest in CCCDC,
through the acquisition of UCOP, Inc. (UCOP), effective March 30, 1994. These
transactions are more fully described in Note 4 below. As a result of this
acquisition, in combination with its original 50% interest in CCCDC, the Company
acquired a 100% equity ownership interest in CCCDC and succeeded to all of
CCCDC's former operations and directly assumed all of CCCDC's assets and
liabilities.

NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Claims management and other service revenues are recognized as services are
provided. Software licensing revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis,
commencing with product delivery, over the life of related licensing agreements.
Of total Joint Venture revenues in 1993, and the quarter ended March 29, 1994,
60% and 53% (unaudited), respectively, were attributable to revenues from
insurance companies.

INTERNAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development expenses, principally the design and development of
software products, are expensed as incurred. Software costs, if material, are
capitalized when sufficient evidence exists that technological feasibility has
been established. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of
both a product design and a working model, and confirmation of the model's
consistency with the design through detailed testing. For the year 1993 and the
quarter ended March 29, 1994, research and development expenses, of
approximately $1.0 million and $0.3 million (unaudited), respectively, are
reflected in the accompanying statement of operations. There were no significant
software development costs subject to capitalization during either of these
periods.

EQUIPMENT AND PURCHASED SOFTWARE

Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation
of equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives
ranging from 2 to 15 years.

CONTRACT FUNDING

Future revenue streams under certain end-user collision estimating contracts
(Contracts) have been discontinued and sold to various investors. Cash proceeds
from a sold Contract equals the Contract's future revenue stream, discounted at
an annual rate of approximately 14%, less, for certain Contracts, investor
reserves for customer nonperformance under the Contracts. Sales proceeds, which
are remitted directly to the investors in these contracts, and related interest
expense are recognized as revenue and interest expense, respectively, over the
life of the Contract.

NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and that affect the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

The information presented for the quarter ended March 29, 1994 is unaudited.
With respect to the unaudited interim financial statements, management is of the
opinion that all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Joint Venture's interim
results of operations, have been included. The results of operations for the
quarter ended March 29, 1994 should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of
the results of operations for any future period.

NOTE 3 -- NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

In addition to amounts reported as purchases of equipment in the
consolidated statement of cash flow, the Joint Venture has directly financed
certain noncash capital expenditures.

NOTE 4 -- ACQUISITION OF PARTNERS' INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURE

On March 30, 1994, White River acquired the stock of UCOP. Also on March 30,
1994, the Company entered into a call agreement with White River to purchase the
stock of UCOP from White River within 180 days. On May 31, 1994, using cash
generated through a commercial bank bridge loan, the Company completed the
acquisition of UCOP's interest in CCCDC by purchasing the stock of UCOP from
White River. The Company began consolidating Joint Venture operating results
effective March 30, 1994.

NOTE 5 -- INCOME TAXES

Because the Joint Venture was a partnership, taxable income passed through
to its partners. Accordingly, income taxes were not recorded on the books of
CCCDC.

NOTE 6 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Joint Venture and the Company were involved in legal proceedings with
the lessor of certain personal computer equipment. When the lessor failed to
fulfill certain financial obligations to the equipment vendors, the Joint
Venture advanced funds to those vendors on the lessor's behalf. In 1993,
uncollectible advances of $1.1 million were charged against Joint Venture
operating results. In October 1993, the lessor filed a legal action against the
Company seeking payments due under certain master license agreements, including:
rents, sales and use tax and interest. In addition, the lessor asserted that it
was the sole owner of all right, title and interest in certain Contracts,
including renewals. This matter was settled in the first quarter of 1994. Under
the settlement agreement, the Company paid the lessor $400 thousand and in
exchange received clear title to certain personal computer equipment.

NOTE 7 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 1993 and the first quarter of 1994, Contracts with future sales
proceeds of $5.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were discounted and
sold to a major stockholder of the Company. The discount rate applied to these
Contracts was approximately the same as the rate applied to Contracts purchased
by unrelated entities.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section
145 of the Delaware Law ("Section 145") provides that a Delaware corporation may
indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an
officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines,
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may
indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation by reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may
include expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit,
provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or
director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or
director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which
such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the
indemnification of directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by Section 145.

As permitted by Delaware Law, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that
directors of the Company shall have no personal liability to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except (i) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, (iii) under Section 174 of
the Delaware Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an
improper personal benefit.

The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

The Company hereby undertakes to provide the Underwriters at the closing
specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and
registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to permit prompt
delivery to each purchaser.

The Company hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus files as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430(A) and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the provisions set forth in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the
Company has been advised in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and the Company will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
