NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130,  "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130")
which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components in the financial statements.  Comprehensive income
represents the change in stockholders' equity during a period resulting from
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.  It
includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners.  The adoption of SFAS 130
had no impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, balance
sheet or cash flows. The Company currently does not have any elements to be
included in comprehensive income.

     In June 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes
new standards for reporting information about operating segments in interim and
annual financial statements. This statement is also effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact this statement will have on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 - NONCASH FINANCING ACTIVITIES

     The Company directly charges its accumulated deficit account for preferred
stock accretion and preferred stock dividends accrued. These amounts totaled
$0.2 million and $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

     In conjunction with the exercise of certain stock options, the Company has
reduced current income taxes payable with an offsetting credit to paid-in
capital for the tax benefit of stock options exercised. During the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, these amounts totaled $3.3 million and $2.7
million, respectively.

NOTE 5 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
  1997

     CCC Information Services Group Inc. ("Company") reported net income
applicable to common stock of $2.8 million, or $0.11 per share on a diluted
basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, versus net income of  $3.9
million, or $0.16 per share on a diluted basis, for the same quarter last year.

     Third quarter 1998 revenues of $48.0 million were $7.6 million, or 18.8%,
higher than the same quarter last year. The increase in revenues was primarily
due to higher revenues from workflow/collision estimating software seats and
accelerating growth in the claims outsourcing business.  Workflow/collision
estimating software seat revenues increased due to an increase in the number of
seats in both the autobody and insurance markets.

     Production and customer support expenses increased from $9.1 million, or
22.5% of revenues, to $12.9 million, or 26.9% of revenues. The increase in
dollars and percentage of revenue was attributable primarily to an increase in
production and customer support capacity following an increase in
workflow/collision estimating seat implementations. Commission, royalties and
licenses increased from 

                                      7

<PAGE>

$5.0 million, or 12.4% of revenues, to $5.5 million, or 11.5% of revenues. 
The increase in dollars was due primarily to higher revenues from PATHWAYS 
workflow estimating seats and autobody collision estimating seats, which 
generate both a commission and a data royalty. Selling, general and 
administrative increased from $12.7 million, or 31.4% of revenues, to $16.0 
million, or 33.3% of revenues. The increase in dollars was due primarily to 
an increase in the resources committed to selling both workflow/collision 
estimating and consultative services and efforts to build and upgrade 
internal systems. Depreciation and amortization increased from $2.0 million, 
or 5.0% of revenues, to $2.4 million, or 5.0% of revenues. The increase in 
dollars was a result of higher capital expenditures for internal systems, 
primarily expenditures for product engineering and customer support and an 
increase in goodwill amortization resulting from the acquisition of two 
subsidiaries during the quarter. Product development and programming 
increased from $5.2 million, or 12.9% of revenues, to $6.6 million, or 13.8% 
of revenues. The dollar increase was due primarily to an increased allocation 
of Company resources to product development, primarily in the claims 
outsourcing business and wage pressure associated with retaining and 
recruiting software engineers.

     Third quarter income taxes decreased from $2.9 million, or 42.0% of income
before taxes, to $2.1 million, or 43.0% of income before taxes.  The dollar
decrease was attributable to lower pretax income.

 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

     The Company reported net income applicable to common stock of $10.0
million, or $0.39 per share on a diluted basis, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, versus a $11.0 million, or $0.44 per share on a diluted
basis, for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30,
1998 operating income of $16.4 million was $2.1 million or 11.4% lower than the
comparable 1997 period.  The operating income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 includes $1.7 million of one time charges for relocating the
Claims settlement division.

     Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $138.9 million
were $23.4 million, or 20.3%, higher than the same period last year. The
increase in revenues was primarily due to higher revenues from
workflow/collision estimating software seats and accelerating growth in the
claims outsourcing business.  Workflow/collision estimating software seat
revenues increased due to an increase in the number of seats in both the
autobody and insurance markets.

     Production and customer support expenses increased from $26.1 million, or
22.6% of revenues, to $33.6 million, or 24.2% of revenues. The increase in
dollars and as a percent of revenues was attributable primarily to an increase
in productive and customer support capacity following an increase in
workflow/collision estimating seat implementations. Commission, royalties and
licenses increased from $13.8 million, or 11.9% of revenues, to $16.4 million,
or 11.8% of revenues. The increase in dollars and as a percent of revenues was
due primarily to higher revenues from PATHWAYS workflow estimating seats and
autobody collision estimating seats, which generate both a commission and a
data royalty. Selling, general and administrative increased from $36.9 million,
or 31.9% of revenues, to $44.2 million, or 31.8% of revenues. The increase in
dollars was due primarily to an increase in the resources committed to selling
both workflow/collision estimating and consultative services and efforts to
build and upgrade internal systems. The decline as a percentage of revenue was
primarily due to the leveraging of costs against a higher revenue base.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $5.7 million, or 4.9% of revenues,
to $6.8 million, or 4.9% of revenues. The increase in dollars was a result of
higher capital expenditures for internal systems, primarily expenditures for
product engineering and customer support and an increase in goodwill
amortization resulting from the acquisition of two subsidiaries during the
third quarter. Product development and programming increased from $14.4
million, or 12.5% of revenues, to $19.7 million, or 14.2% of revenues. The
increase in dollars and as a percent of revenues was due primarily to an
increased allocation of Company resources to product development, primarily in
the claims outsourcing business and wage pressure associated with retaining and
recruiting software engineers.  Claims settlement relocation charges of $1.7
million incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 relate to the
decision to relocate the processing operations of the Claims settlement
division.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

BACKGROUND.  Some computers, software and other equipment include programming
code in which calendar year data is abbreviated to only two digits.  As a
result of this design decision, some of these systems could fail to operate or
fail  to produce correct results if "00" is interpreted to mean 1900, rather
than 2000 ("Year 2000 Problem").  These problems are widely expected to
increase in frequency and severity as the year 2000 approaches.  The Company
defines an application to be Year 2000 compliant if it can accurately process
date data (including calculating, comparing and sequencing) from, into and
between twentieth and twenty first centuries, including leap year calculations.

ASSESSMENT.  The Year 2000 Problem could affect computers, software, and other
equipment used, operated, or maintained by the Company.  Accordingly, the
Company is reviewing its internal computer programs and systems to ensure that
the programs and systems will be Year 2000 compliant.  The Company presently
believes that its computer systems will be Year 2000 compliant in a timely
manner.  However, while the estimated cost of these efforts are not expected to
be material to the Company's financial position or any year's results of
operations, there can be no assurance to this effect.

SOFTWARE SOLD TO CUSTOMERS.  The Company believes that it has substantially
identified all potential Year 2000 Problems with any of the software products,
which it develops and markets.  As a key supplier to insurance companies and
collision repair facilities, the Company has identified a significant exposure
for Year 2000 problems regarding the effect of its legacy collision estimating
software on some customers' ability to complete an estimate.  A major
undertaking is currently in process to convert those customers impacted to the
Year 2000 compliant version of the software.  While lost revenues from such an
event are a concern for the Company, the greater risks are the monetary damages
for which the Company could be liable if it in fact is found responsible for
the shutdown of one of its customer's facilities.  Such a finding could have a
material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.

INTERNAL INFRASTRUCTURE.  The Company believes that it has identified
substantially all of the major computers, software applications, and related
equipment, with the exception of desktop hardware and software applications,
used in connection with its internal operations that must be modified, upgraded
or replaced to minimize the possibility of a material disruption to its
business.  The Company has commenced the process of modifying, upgrading, and
replacing major systems that have been identified as adversely affected, and
expects to complete this process before the middle of 1999.  The Company is
still evaluating the impact on desktop hardware and software applications.

SYSTEMS OTHER THAN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS.  In addition to computers
and related systems, the operation of office and facilities equipment, such as
fax machines, photocopiers, telephone switches, security systems, elevators,
and other common devices may be affected by the Year 2000 Problem.  The Company
will be assessing the potential effect of, and costs of remediating, the Year
2000 Problem on its office and facilities equipment.

The Company estimates the total cost to the Company of completing any required
modifications, upgrades, or replacements of these internal systems will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or results of
operations.  Currently, the Company is expensing approximately $600 thousand
per quarter associated with this effort.  It is expected that this cost will
continue through the second quarter of 1999.  This estimate is being monitored
and will be revised as additional information becomes available.

SUPPLIERS.  The Company has initiated communications with third party suppliers
of the major computers, software, and other equipment used, operated, or
maintained by the Company to identify and, to the extent possible, to resolve
issues involving the Year 2000 Problem.  However, the Company has limited or no
control over the actions of these third party suppliers.  Thus, while the
Company expects that it will be able to resolve any significant Year 2000
Problems with these systems, there can be no assurance that these suppliers
will resolve any or all Year 2000 Problems with these systems before the
occurrence of a material disruption to the business of the Company or any of
its customers.  Any failure of these third parties to resolve Year 2000
problems with their systems in a timely manner could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of
operation.

<PAGE>

MOST LIKELY CONSEQUENCES OF YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS.  The Company expects to 
identify and resolve all Year 2000 Problems that could materially adversely 
affect its business operations.  However, management believes that it is not 
possible to determine with complete certainty that all Year 2000 Problems 
affecting the Company have been identified or corrected.  The number of 
devices that could be affected and the interactions among these devices are 
simply too numerous.  In addition, one cannot accurately predict how many 
Year 2000 Problem-related failures will occur or the severity, duration, or 
financial consequences of these perhaps inevitable failures.  As a result, 
management expects that the Company could likely suffer the following 
consequences:

     1.   a significant number of operational inconveniences and inefficiencies
          for the Company and its customers that may divert management's time 
          and attention and financial and human resources from its ordinary 
          business activities; and

     2.   a lesser number of serious failures that may require significant 
          efforts by the Company or its customers to prevent or alleviate 
          material business disruptions.

Although the Company expects its critical systems to be compliant by mid 
1999, there is no guarantee that these results will be achieved.  Specific 
factors that give rise to this uncertainty include a possible loss of 
technical resources to perform the work, failure to identify all susceptible 
systems, non-compliance by third parties whose systems and operations impact 
the Company, and other similar uncertainties.  A possible worst case scenario 
might include one or more of the Company's software products sold to 
customers being non-compliant.  Such an event could result in a material 
disruption to the Company's or customers operations.  For example, the 
software could experience an interruption in its ability to properly 
calculate or access the data required to complete a collision estimate.  
Should the worst case scenario occur it could, depending on its duration, 
have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial 
position.

CONTINGENCY PLANS.  The Company is currently developing contingency plans to 
be implemented as part of its efforts to identify and correct Year 2000 
Problems affecting its internal systems.  The Company expects to complete its 
contingency plans by the end of 1998.  Depending on the systems affected, 
these plans could include accelerated replacement of affected equipment or 
software, short to medium use of backup equipment and software, increased 
work hours for Company personnel or use of contract personnel to correct on 
an accelerated schedule any Year 2000 Problems that arise or to provide 
manual workarounds for information systems, and similar approaches.  If the 
Company is required to implement any of these contingency plans, it could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and 
results of operations.

Based on the activities described above, Management believes the Company is 
devoting the necessary resources to identify and resolve Year 2000 Problems. 
The success of this effort and a favorable outcome to the various potential 
situations described  herein will determine the impact the Year 2000 Problem 
has on the Company's business or results of operations.

  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments 
of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes new 
standards for reporting information about operating segments in interim and 
annual financial statements. This statement is effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company is currently evaluating the 
impact this statement will have on the consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, net cash provided by 
operating activities was $8.9 million. In addition, the Company had net cash 
provided from the sale of investment securities of $28.5 million. The Company 
applied $9.3 million to the purchase of equipment and software, $1.8 million 
to the purchase of a building in Sioux Falls, South Dakota associated with 
the relocation of certain customer service and claims processing operations, 
purchase of two subsidiaries of $4.8 million to expand into Europe and to 
expand claim processing, invested $20.0 million in a long term investment in a

                                      10
<PAGE>

Company which is developing services to manage insurance rating information 
and repurchased a portion of  the Company's outstanding shares of  $3.1 
million.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains certain 
safe harbors regarding forward-looking statements. In that context, the 
discussion under liquidity and capital resources above contains a 
forward-looking statement which involves certain degrees of risks and 
uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties, include, without limitation, the 
effect of competitive pricing within the industry, the presence of 
competitors with greater financial resources than the Company, the intense 
competition for top software engineering talent and the volatile nature of 
technological change within the automobile claims industry. Additional 
factors that could affect the Company's financial condition and results of 
operations are included in the Company's Initial Public Offering Prospectus 
and Registration on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission ("Commission") on August 16, 1996 and the Company's 1997 Annual 
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 31, 1998.
