                   WHITE RIVER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements include the
accounts of White River Corporation (together with its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise, "White River" or,
together with all of its subsidiaries, the "Company") and its subsidiaries,
including those of CCC Information Services Group, Inc. ("CCC"). The
consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial
information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-
X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant
intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated
interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary by management to fairly
present the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these consolidated interim financial
statements may not be indicative of financial results for the full year or for
any other future period. The balance sheet at December 31, 1997 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Such consolidated
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with White River's
1997 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount
of assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Such estimates also
have a pervasive effect upon the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
reflected in the consolidated interim statements of operations. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
 
  Certain accounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified
for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year
financial statements.
 
NOTE 2. ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
  As of January 1, 1998, the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the
adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or
stockholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the
Company's available-for-sale securities, which prior to adoption were reported
separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive
income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to
the requirements of SFAS No. 130.
 
  During the first quarter of 1998, total comprehensive income amounted to
$18.7 million. In the first quarter of 1997, total comprehensive income
amounted to a loss of $3.1 million.
 
  The components of comprehensive income (loss), net of related tax, for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

                   WHITE RIVER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        
     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)     
 
 
  Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related tax, at March 31,
1998 and December 31, 1997 is comprised solely of unrealized gains on
available for sale securities.
 
  As of January 1, 1998, the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Under the
provisions of SFAS No. 131, the Company has elected to disclose segment
information for its interim periods commencing with the filing of its 1998
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
 
  Income tax expense is based on income recognized for financial statement
purposes and includes the effects of temporary differences between such income
and that recognized for tax return purposes. For the quarter ended March 31,
1998, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.2 million on pretax income
of $2.5 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company recorded
income tax expense of $1.2 million on a pretax loss of $1.3 million. The major
components that caused the Company's effective tax rate to exceed the Federal
statutory rate of 35% in both years are the amortization of goodwill, which is
not deductible for tax purposes, and the undistributed earnings of CCC, for
which the Company provides deferred taxes.
 
NOTE 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  White River has entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of December 11, 1997, as amended by Amendment Number 1 to the
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 6, 1998,
by and among certain affiliates of Harvard Private Group, Inc. ("Harvard
Private Capital"), White River and White River Ventures, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of White River (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to
which, among other things, (i) an affiliate of Harvard Private Capital will
merge with and into White River, with White River remaining as the surviving
corporation (the "Merger"), (ii) each share of White River common stock, $.01
par value per share (other than treasury shares and shares with respect to
which appraisal rights are perfected under the Delaware General Corporation
Law), outstanding at the time of the Merger will be converted into the right
to receive approximately $90.67 in cash, without interest and subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances as described in the Merger Agreement
and (iii) each share of Series A Non-Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock,
par value $1.00 per share, will be converted into the right to receive the
stated value of $1,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends until
the effective time of the Merger. In addition, White River has agreed to pay
Harvard Private Capital a termination fee of $15 million, plus up to $1.5
million in reimbursable expenses, in the event that the Merger Agreement is
terminated under certain circumstances.
 
  Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including the
approval of White River's stockholders and the absence of any material adverse
change. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by any of the parties in the
event that the Board of Directors of White River withdraws its recommendation
of the transaction to stockholders or recommends an alternative transaction.
The parties expect the merger to occur during the second quarter of 1998.
 
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION--AS OF MARCH 31, 1998 AND DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
  Book value per common equivalent share, as defined below, increased $4.12,
or 6.7%, to $66.00 at March 31, 1998, from $61.88 at December 31, 1997. Such
change reflects an increase of $4.00 per share related to the after tax
increase in net unrealized investment gains, which were recorded directly to
stockholders' equity as part of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
 
                                       7

                   WHITE RIVER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        
     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)     
 
 
  The calculation of book value per common and common equivalent share
reflects the potentially dilutive effects of White River's outstanding
incentive and directors' compensation awards. In the calculation of book value
per common and common equivalent share: (i) the numerator is the sum of
stockholders' equity and the tax benefit which would result from the
settlement of outstanding performance units, directors' compensation awards
and balances within White River's retirement plans with shares of Common
Stock, based upon the current market price of the Common Stock and assuming a
statutory tax rate of 35%, and (ii) the denominator is the sum of the shares
of Common Stock outstanding and shares deemed issued in settlement of
outstanding performance units, directors' compensation awards and balances
within such retirement plans.
 
  As of March 31, 1998, the Company had consolidated cash and cash equivalents
of $196.5 million, (which included $7.8 million related to the operations of
CCC, Hanover, and JKRE), as compared to $190.5 million as of December 31,
1997. Substantially all of the cash and cash equivalent balances of $188.7
million held by White River as of March 31, 1998, other than those of CCC,
Hanover and JKRE, were deposited with several major banking institutions in
interest-bearing accounts with maturities of six days or less. As of March 31,
1998, such deposits earned a weighted average interest rate of 5.4% per annum.
   
  Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) increased by $2.7
million to $305.5 million at March 31, 1998 from $302.8 million at December
31, 1997 primarily due to an increase in the Company's balances of cash and
cash equivalents of $6.0 million, which was offset by a reduction in the
Company's investment securities as a result of the sale of certain of CCC's
short-term investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and, as discussed below, the
purchase by CCC of a long term investment.     
   
  On February 10, 1998, CCC signed an agreement with InsurQuote Systems, Inc.
("InsurQuote"), a provider of insurance rating information and the software
used to manage that information, and invested $20 million to acquire 19.9% of
the InsurQuote common stock, a subordinated note from InsurQuote, warrants,
and shares of InsurQuote preferred stock. The warrants provide the right to
acquire additional shares of InsurQuote common stock and are exercisable by
CCC through February 10, 2008, subject to potential early termination
provisions. The Series C stock is redeemable in full at the end of five years,
or earlier under certain conditions, if not converted prior to that time. Each
share of Series C and D preferred stock is initially convertible into one
common share at the option of CCC. CCC is accounting for its investment in
InsurQuote using the cost method.     
 
  Capital expenditures were $7.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
compared to $1.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 primarily due
to expansion of CCC's office space as well as expenditures related to CCC's
new products.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
 
  The consolidated net loss applicable to common stock totalled $0.8 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, or $0.17 per diluted common share, as
compared to a net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted common share for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
 
 Investment Operations
 
  Under SFAS No. 115, changes in net unrealized investment gains and losses
relating to White River's marketable equity securities and debt which are
classified as available for sale are reported net of tax as a separate
component of stockholders' equity (Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income)
and, except for declines in value which are deemed to be other than temporary
in nature, changes in net unrealized investment gains and losses relating to
White River's other investments are not recognized until realized. Pretax net
unrealized gains of $30.0 million were recorded directly to stockholders'
equity as part of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income during the quarter
ended March 31, 1998, and pretax net investment losses of $0.7 million were
recorded directly to stockholders' equity as part of Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income during the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

                   WHITE RIVER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        
     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)     
 
 
  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, pretax investment income totalled $2.9
million, including $2.6 million of interest income generated from the cash and
cash equivalents balances held during the first quarter 1998. Pretax
investment income totalled $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31,1997,
including $2.3 million of interest income generated from the cash and cash
equivalent balances held during the first quarter 1997.
 
  Proceeds from dispositions of investments during the quarters ended March
31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 were $31.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
The increase in 1998 relates to CCC's dispositions of short-term investments
in U.S. Treasury bills.
 
 Insurance-Related Services
 
  Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 of $44.7 million were $7.9
million, or 21.5%, higher than the same period in 1997. The increase in
revenues was due primarily to higher revenues from workflow/collision
estimating software licensing and valuation services. Workflow/collision
estimating software revenue increased due to an increase in the number of
units sold in both the autobody and insurance markets. Valuation services
revenue increased due to higher transaction volume.
 
  On a stand-alone basis, CCC reported net income before accretion and
dividends on preferred stock of $4.4 million and $3.4 million for the quarters
ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, respectively. White River's
adjustment for the amortization of goodwill and purchased software related to
the CCC acquisition, as well as the minority shareholders' interest in the
earnings of CCC during these periods, reduced net income by $4.6 million and
$4.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 1998, and March 31, 1997,
respectively.
 
 Other Revenues--Consolidated
 
  Other revenue of $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 consisted
of Hanover Accessories, Inc. ("Hanover") sales of $2.8 million, and Just
Kiddie Rides Enterprises, Inc. ("JKRE") sales of $0.5 million. The
corresponding sales amount of $1.6 million for the same period in 1997
includes only the operations of Hanover, since JKRE was not established until
November 1997.
 
  Hanover generated $2.8 million in revenue from the sale of fashion
accessories for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, with a net loss of $0.1
million. As of March 31, 1998, White River's investment in and advances to
Hanover totalled $3.7 million. Hanover generated revenues of $1.6 million for
the quarter ended March 31,1997, with a net loss of $0.2 million.
 
  JKRE generated $0.5 million in revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
with a net loss of $0.2 million. As of March 31, 1998, White Rivers investment
in and advances to JKRE totalled $2.1 million.
 
 Operating Expenses
 
  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, compensation and benefits expense
totaled $20.2 million, as compared to $19.1 million for the same period in
1997. The first quarter 1998 increase is entirely the result of an increase in
CCC's compensation and benefits to recruit and retain key employees. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, other operating expenses totalled $25.3 million,
as compared to $21.6 million for the same period in 1997, representing an
increase of 17.2%. Such increase was due to an increase in CCC's operating
expenses of $3.1 million, which was primarily attributable to product
development and customer service expenses necessary to support increased
revenues, as well as to efforts to build and upgrade internal systems.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The Company's effective tax rate is higher than the statutory rate of 35%
due to the fact that the Company provides for deferred taxes on its equity
interest in the net income of CCC, as well as due to the effect of the
amortization of goodwill.

<PAGE>
 
                   WHITE RIVER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        
     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)     
 
 
  The Company provides for deferred income taxes which reflect the effects of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Furthermore, deferred tax assets are recorded net of a valuation allowance if
management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
 Total Company (consolidated basis)
   
  During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company's cash and cash
equivalent balances increased by $6.0 million (see "Consolidated Interim
Statements of Cash Flows (unaudited)" on page 5). The major sources of cash
provided were $31.1 million from sales of investments, and net cash provided
from operations of $10.1 million. The Company used $20.0 million for the
purchase of a long-term investment (see below under "CCC"), $8.3 million for
the purchase of investment securities and $7.6 million for the purchase of
software and equipment.     
 
  Management believes that cash flows from operations, sales of investment
securities and available borrowings as discussed separately below under "CCC"
will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's capital expenditure and working
capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
 
 White River
 
  As of March 31, 1998, the Company had consolidated cash and cash equivalents
of $196.5 million, of which $188.7 million relates to balances held by White
River, with the remaining $7.8 million related to the operation of CCC,
Hanover and JKRE. White River's primary sources of additional cash include
sales of investments, interest earned on cash equivalents and dividends earned
on investments. There were no cash proceeds generated from the sale of
investments during the quarter ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $1.2
million cash generated from the sale of investments during the quarter ended
March 31, 1997.
 
  Management believes that available cash and funds generated from sales of
investments will be sufficient for White River to satisfy its working capital
requirements for the foreseeable future.
 
 CCC
   
  CCC's primary source of cash includes receipts of customer billings, which
are generally invoiced monthly in advance for EZEst units and Pathways
subscriptions and monthly in arrears for Total Loss and EZNet transactions.
During each of the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, CCC
generated net cash from operating activities of $8.0 million. CCC used $6.1
million and $1.8 million, during the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and March
31, 1997, respectively, excluding noncash capital expenditures, to purchase
equipment and software and invested the remaining cash in marketable
securities. In addition, CCC invested $20 million in InsurQuote during the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, using cash provided from sales of investments.
    
  Management believes that cash flows from operations and the current credit
facility will be sufficient to meet CCC's liquidity needs over the next 12
months. There can be no assurance, however, that CCC will be able to satisfy
its liquidity needs in the future without engaging in financing activities
beyond those described above.
 
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
 
  The year 2000 issue relates to computer system programs which may not
properly recognize the change in date years from 1999 to 2000. As a result of
this time sensitivity of existing software, any business entity is at risk for
possible system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions,
send invoices, or engage in similar normal business
 
                                      10

     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)     
 
activities. In addition, entities that provide software solutions to their
customers must monitor the year 2000 concerns in the applications their
software supports.
 
  Based on risk assessment, CCC is currently modifying or replacing
significant portions of its software so that its computer systems will
function properly with respect to the year 2000 date recognition. White River
is currently in the process of replacing significant portions of its software
and expects to have such upgrades completed by December 31, 1998. CCC
presently believes that with modifications to existing software and
conversions to new software, the year 2000 issue will not pose a significant
operational problem. However, if such modifications and conversions are not
made, or not completed timely, the year 2000 issue could have a material
adverse effect on CCC's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
 
  The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to reprogram,
or replace, and test software for the year 2000 modifications. The Company
anticipates completing the year 2000 project in early 1999. The total cost of
the year 2000 project for the Company is not material.
 
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("the Act") provides a
safe harbor for forward-looking information made on behalf of the Company. All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, which address
activities or actions that the Company expects or anticipates will or may
occur in the future, including such things as expansion and growth of the
Company's operations and other such matters are forward-looking statements. To
take advantage of the safe harbor provided by the Act, the Company is
identifying certain factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the
Company.
 
  Any one, or a combination, of these factors could materially affect the
results of the Company's operations. These factors include competitive
pressures, changes in customer preferences, acceptance of new product
introductions and other marketing and sales initiatives, legal and regulatory
initiatives and conditions in the capital markets. Forward-looking statements
made by the Company are based on knowledge of its business and the environment
in which it operates, but because of the factors listed above, as well as
other factors, beyond the control of the Company, actual results may differ
from those in the forward-looking statements.
