ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

         The following documents heretofore filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by CCC Information Services Group Inc.
(the "Company") are incorporated herein by reference:

         (a)  The Company's Prospectus dated August 16, 1996 as filed with the
Commission on August 19, 1996 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), containing audited financial
statements for the Company's latest fiscal year.

         (b)  The description of the Company's common stock, par value $.10 per
share (the "Common Stock"), which is contained in the registration statement on
Form 8-A filed with the Commission on July 1, 1996 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any subsequent amendment
or any report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

         All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement
and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities
then remaining unsold are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the respective dates of
filing of such documents (such documents, and the documents enumerated above,
being hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Documents").

         Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to
be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any such statement

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

         Not applicable.


ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (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 appeared to the best interests of the corporation, and, with 
respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe that this 
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 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.

                                      II-2

         The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

         (a)  The registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

           (i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
    the Securities Act of 1933;

                                      II-3

<PAGE>

          (ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
    after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
    represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
    registration statement; and

         (iii)     To include any material information with respect to the plan
    of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
    any material change to such information in the registration statement.

         PROVIDED, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by 
reference in the registration statement.

         (2)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment 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)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's 
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is 
incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.

         (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a 
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by 
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer

                                     II-4

<PAGE>

or controlling person of the registrant 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 
registrant 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 will be governed by 
the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

         The following documents heretofore filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by CCC Information Services Group Inc.
(the "Company") are incorporated herein by reference:

         (a)  The Company's Prospectus dated August 16, 1996 as filed with the
Commission on August 19, 1996 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), containing audited financial
statements for the Company's latest fiscal year.

         (b)  The description of the Company's common stock, par value $.10 per
share (the "Common Stock"), which is contained in the registration statement on
Form 8-A filed with the Commission on July 1, 1996 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any subsequent amendment
or any report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

         All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement
and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities
then remaining unsold are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the respective dates of
filing of such documents (such documents, and the documents enumerated above,
being hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Documents").

         Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to
be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any such statement
so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         Not applicable.

                                      II-1
ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (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 appeared to the best interests of the corporation, and, with 
respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe that this 
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 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.

                                      II-2
The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

         (a)  The registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

           (i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
    the Securities Act of 1933;

                                      II-3
(ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
    after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
    represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
    registration statement; and

         (iii)     To include any material information with respect to the plan
    of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
    any material change to such information in the registration statement.

         PROVIDED, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by 
reference in the registration statement.

         (2)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment 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)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's 
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is 
incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.

         (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a 
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by 
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer

                                     II-4
or controlling person of the registrant 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 
registrant 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 will be governed by 
the final adjudication of such issue.

                                     II-5
