CCC Internet Solutions Inc. is an AutomotiveInformation Service provider that owns and operates rev-enue producing automotive related web sites.

Through its two B2C (Business to Consumer) websites at www.carcostcanada.com and www.freein-voiceprices.com, "CCC" offers comprehensive up todate new car buyer information, including confiden-tial dealer invoice cost prices, to aid the consumerin making informed choices by providing accurateand timely confidential automobile industry informa-tion. To date over 27,000 people have joined asmembers of our sites, generating very consistentrevenue growth. Membership fees have consistent-ly risen throughout the last three years. Currently theaverage membership revenue is over $37.00 permember. On average over 1,000,000 new vehiclesare sold to the retail public each year in Canada.This year we increased our market share from0.71% to 1.38%, an increase in market penetrationof 94%. We are well on our way to reaching our long-term goal of 10% of all new car retail buyers in Canada.

Through its B2B (Business to Business) website, www.43r.ca, "CCC" exclusively serves theAutomotive Insurance Industry. By providing thevaluable confidential automobile industry informa-tion to the Insurer, 43r.ca dramatically lowers settle-ments on automobile total-loss claims with43r/Waiver of depreciation endorsements. A Waiverof Depreciation endorsement entitles the policyholder, of a vehicle that has been deemed to be a

CORPORATE PROFILE

total-loss, to a settlement price based on the originalsale price or replacement value, whichever is lower.Otherwise, the settlement price would be based onthe then current depreciated value of the automo-bile. This can have the effect of raising the settle-ment claim by thousands of dollars. Due to the min-imal cost of purchasing the 43r/waiver of deprecia-tion endorsement, which is typically available forthe first three years of the vehicle’s life and the valuethat the endorsement brings to the consumer, it hasbecome a very popular choice for new car buyers.Potential savings to the Industry, based on industryestimates of 50,000 annual claims and our provenrecord of savings of over $ 1,000 per claim, theInsurance industry could save in excess of $50 mil-lion annually. 43r.ca charges the InsuranceCompany a flat fee of $200.00 per claims transac-tion based on a guaranteed savings to theInsurance Company of at least $1,000 per claim. Itshould be noted that there is no net cost to theInsurance Company only a savings. Since its launchin January 2002, we have handled over $12,000,000worth of claims with an average savings of over$1,200 per claim. Due to the overwhelming accept-ance by many of Canada’s largest Insurance com-panies we are currently increasing our capacity tomeet demand.

The annual meeting of CCC Internet Solutions Inc.will be held on November 26, 2002 at 4:30 p.m. inThe Canadian Room at The Ontario Club located atCommerce Court South, Toronto, Ontario, on the 5th floor.

CCC Internet Solutions 2002 Annual Report 1

9-11 will forever change the way public companies do busi-

ness in North America. Terrorism reached new heights; a

recession spread throughout the world; a meltdown that dec-

imated the technology industry; a dramatic decrease in the

major North American stock markets for the second year in a

row; and corporate scandals of unprecedented magnitude,

which rocked the corporate world. These events reinforced

the management of CCC’s belief that focus, discipline, sound

business management and solid corporate governance had

become mandatory if CCC, as a Public Company, was to gain

a reputation for conducting its’ affairs with integrity.

Management has undertaken a program to implement all

changes necessary to achieve that reputation amongst the

investing public.

REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

CCC Internet Solutions 2002 Annual Report 3

During the past fiscal year, the company has grown in many areas. An important new Insurance Solutions divi-sion called 43r.ca, was launched and has been successful and lucrative. In order to capitalize on the signif-icant opportunity presented by the 43r.ca initiative, CCC has appointed a very experienced President, BrianRadigan to aggressively persue the opportunity. (A discussion of the 43r.ca initiative can be seen in theCorporate Profile section.)

CCC’s’ flagship Car Cost Canada.com is the core automobile information services division of our company.The B2C website at www.carcostcanada.com , has been totally enhanced and updated to add much more value for the potential customer. These ongoing changes are helping the Company focus on itsstrengths, while strengthening its brand. Any new car purchaser can benefit financially from this service. Theinformation available on our site provides the customer with confidential new car dealer invoice cost prices,factory incentives and rebate information. This coupled with our ability to negotiate very low acquisition priceson new cars, makes our service an invaluable necessity for the shrewd new car buyer.

"Lowest new car prices in Canada….Guaranteed!"

In addition and in response to market opportunities, CCC has launched a complementary site to Car CostCanada.com called freeinvoiceprices.com at www.freeinvoiceprices.com which provides CCC with anothervaluable revenue producing stream. Here is how it works. For the first time ever, Canadian new car buyersnow have access to confidential new car dealer invoice prices effectively for free; based upon CCC’s exclusive redeemable coupon program. Up until now, Car Cost Canada.com was the exclusive online source for this valuable information for a fee ranging from $25 to $45. Free Invoice Prices.com, in addition toproviding our "Subscribers" dealer invoice prices, will also provide access to confidential factory rebates and incentive programs. For the service, CCC will charge the consumer a fee of $50.00, which is fully refundableto the consumer by the New Car Dealer of the consumer’s choice, upon conclusion of the purchase of his orher new car.

Finally, two new Independent directors were elected to the Company’s board and an Independent auditcommittee was established to ensure a high standard of corporate governance.

Operationally, and with these new initiatives in place, Management came very close to achieving its goal ofmaking a profit in the 4th quarter. Looking ahead, Management is confident that it can attain its goal for 2003.To turn a profit and to grow both top line revenues and profits on a quarter over quarter basis is our main priority.

It is Managements’ view that in today’s economic climate investors will only be interested in those internet-based companies that are profitable, demonstrate significant potential and are built on solid and traditionalbusiness fundamentals. Discipline and commitment to these guiding principals will ensure "CCC’s" stable andlong range potential for capital appreciation

Management feels that all of the initiatives put in place over this past year will set a platform from which CCCshould be able to deliver superior returns to our stakeholders.

R. James Matthews Paul Timoteo

Chief Executive Officer President

OverviewDuring the year Management clearly announced its

corporate goals to the shareholders:

Throughout 2002 "CCC" will focus on the continued

and aggressive expansion of its multiple revenue

streams while enhancing its web sites in order to

move toward sustained profitability.

Management was unwavering in its determination to

achieve these corporate goals.

During this time and subsequent to year-end the

company has reached many important milestones.

CCC expanded its revenue streams with the launch

of 43r.ca, (our Insurance Solutions business),

increased its margins and revised its membership

plans to better reflect market demand at Car Cost

Canada.com and it successfully launched Free

Invoice Prices.com. These changes included a total

redesign of the Car Cost Canada.com website and

several other enhancements to ensure easier navi-

gation and higher profit margins. Lastly and most

importantly, the fourth quarter was CCC’s best ever,

with sales increasing to $186,020, 48% better than

our third quarter of 2001-2002 and 124% better than

our fourth quarter of 2000-2001. The bulk of the

increase in the fourth quarter was a direct result of

the commencement of revenue generation from the

43r.ca initiative.

The following is a summary of the achievement’s

and milestones that have been recently reached for

and subsequent to the period:

• Our Insurance Solutions business 43r.ca was

launched, has received overwhelming accept-

ance and is rapidly growing.

According to Mr. Don Lough, President, Property and Casualty

Insurance for ING Canada, “the pilot program was an over-

whelming success and its results handily exceeded our expecta-

tions”. "43r.ca clearly demonstrated the tremendous value that

they can bring to our business", said Mr. Lough. "We are very

excited about the program and are looking forward to a solid

long-term relationship with CCC Internet Solutions Inc."

MANAGEMENT’S DISSCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

• Mr. Br ian Radigan, LLB. , was appointed

President of the Company’s 43r.ca division.

"I am both enthusiastic and energized by my appointment as

President of 43r.ca and look forward to the challenges and

opportunities my role will bring" said Radigan. "In a very short

time, 43r.ca has clearly demonstrated its big-sky potential. The

opportunity for me now will be to make a major contribution

to the development of 43r.ca’s great potential; and that I am

very excited about!"

• Car Cost Canada was successfully redesigned.

"Total membership sales totalled 13,809, an increase of 94%

over last year."

• Free Invoice Prices was successfully launched.

• Two Independent directors, Richard Buzbuzian

and Greg Harris, were appointed to the

Company’s Board.

• An Independent Audit Committee and Audit

Committee Mandate have been established for

the Company to ensure quality of corporate

governance and provide shareholders the confi-

dence they deserve.

OperationsAs a result of CCC’s progressive activities for the fis-

cal period, total revenue rose to a record $535,675,

an 89% increase over fiscal 2000-2001. Total oper-

ating expenses before amortization were $647,039,

an increase of 53% over fiscal 2000-2001. Total

losses for the year were $174,691, 9% lower than

4

fiscal 2000-2001 before a one time gain for forgive-

ness of debt.

On June 5, 2002 we announced that an agreement

of debt conversion with Paul Timoteo, James

Matthews, Eli Oszlak and Lease Busters Inc. to con-

vert two-thirds of the $197,676.85 debt owing by

CCC Internet Solutions Inc. to such persons into

common shares of the company, had been com-

pleted. The shares have been issued and the debt

has been extinguished.

CCC’s balance sheet is now 100% debt-free.

"As we begin our new fiscal year, which commenced June 01,

2002, we are better than ever positioned, to realize the true

potential of our company. We are now totally debt free, cash

flow positive and looking forward to reporting profitable and

sustainable bottom-line results,"

Our flagship site Car Cost Canada.com continued

to deliver solid growth. This year we sold 13,809

memberships, compared to 7,122 last year, an

increase of 94%. This brings our membership

base to a grand total of 22,585, an increase of

257% compared with the total of 8,776 as of

May 31, 2001.

The Corporation reported a loss of $174,691 for the

year ended May 31, 2002 that includes a total non-

cash item of $63,327 in amortization expense. Cash

used in operations was $248,521. Based on a year-

end cash position of $186,739, no debt and positive

cash flow going forward, management feels that

they are in a good position to meet all current and

foreseeable financial obligations.

As for our competition, history has demonstrated

that due to the confidentiality of much of our data,

the barrier of entry into our business remains very

high. Currently, to the best of management’s knowl-

edge, there is no other company offering both the

range of products and services and the ability to

deliver these products and services online.

Risk ManagementCCC Internet Solutions Inc. is subject to the risk

generally associated with the operation of income-

producing websites and high-technology invest-

ments. These risks include fluctuations in site traffic,

sales, operating expenses, and the risk of unavail-

ability of further equity financing and/or funding.

Other associated risks may include competition,

technical constraints in further business develop-

ment, and possible service interruptions.

OutlookCCC management for 2002 to 2003 looks to:

Aggressively grow the 43r.ca Insurance

Solutions business and secure Master Vendor

Agreements with Canadian Insurance

Companies where available and as quickly as

possible.

Increase revenues from our flagship website

Car Cost Canada.com (www.carcostcanada.com)

through continued innovative improvements,

effective marketing campaigns and expansion

of strategic partnership agreements with

Yahoo! Autobytel.ca and other large national

organizations.

Increase our market share through effective

sales and marketing of both our B2C and B2B

businesses.

Achieve and sustain profitability with

sequential earnings growth for the year ahead.

Achieve more cost efficiencies in all of

the operations.

It is Management’s belief that CCC Internet

Solutions Inc., with its financial and human

resources, is poised for significant growth as it cap-

italizes and grows it’s niche markets in all aspects of

it’s Internet and traditionally based businesses.

It is expected that Management can meet these

objectives regardless of economic conditions.

Although a robust economy can lead to a greater

number of cars sold and thus a potentially larger

market opportunity for all of CCC’s’ divisions, a

down economy can have an equally positive impact

as both individuals and Insurance Companies

become more cost conscious.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated balance sheet of CCC Internet Solutions Inc. (Formerly Duke Capital Corp.)

(“CCCBC”) a company incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, gives effect

to the reverse takeover whereby CCCBC, the legal parent, was acquired by CCC Internet Solutions

Inc.(Formerly E-Tom Technologies Inc.) (“CCCONT”) a company incorporated under the laws of the

province of Ontario, the legal subsidiary.

This reverse takeover occurred on October 30, 2000 pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement

whereby CCCBC acquired all of the outstanding shares of CCCONT in exchange for 6,500,000

CCCBC shares and $150,000 of which $100,000 had been paid. The remaining $50,000 was con-

verted into shares of “CCCBC”as described in note 8(c)and 9(a).

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCCBC and CCCONT. All material

inter-company balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated.

The prior year’s comparative figures have been reclassified, where necessary, to conform with the

current year’s presentation.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATION

a- The business combination occurred on October 30, 2000 and is accounted for by the purchase

method, with CCCONT being deemed the acquirer, because this exchange of shares leaves the

former shareholders of CCCONT with the majority of the issued shares of CCCBC.

As a result, the balance sheet of CCCONT is recorded at book value and the balance sheet of

CCCBC is recorded at fair market value at October 30, 2000.

b- Current Assets Of CCCBC @ October 30, 2000 $ 677,842

Liabilities Assumed Of CCCBC @ October 30, 2000 -
