        CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investment
Technology Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"), principally ITG Inc. ("ITG"), a Delaware corporation,  registered
as a broker-dealer in securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and
ITG Global Trading, Inc. ("Global Trading") which is a 50% partner in the
Global POSIT joint venture.  Jefferies Group, Inc. ("Jefferies Group") owned
over 80% of the Company's common stock at March 29, 1996.

All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.  The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of
the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 1995 annual report on Form 10-K.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the
prior period to conform to the presentation for 1996.

INCOME TAXES

The Company is a member of the Jefferies affiliated group ("Group") for
purposes of filing a Federal income tax return (i.e., Jefferies Group owns more
than 80% of the Company).  The Company's tax liability is determined on a
"separate return" basis.  That is, the Company is required to pay to Jefferies
Group its proportionate share of the consolidated tax liability plus any excess
of its "separate" tax liability (assuming a separate tax return were to be
filed by the Company) over its proportionate amount of the consolidated Group
tax liability.  Alternatively, Jefferies Group is required to pay the Company
an "additional amount" for the amount by which the consolidated tax liability
of the Group is decreased by reason of inclusion of the Company in the Group.

</TABLE>

Increased revenues were attributed to a growing use of POSIT, QuantEX and the
Company's other electronic trading desk services.  For the quarter ended March
29, 1996, POSIT revenues were approximately 55% or $6.0 million above the
comparable period for 1995, while QuantEX revenues were approximately 70% or
$2.3 million above the comparable period for 1995.  For the quarter ended March
29, 1996, other electronic trading desk services were $2.5 million above the
comparable period for 1995.

</TABLE>

The increase is due primarily to an increase in the number of employees and an
increase in profitability based compensation.

</TABLE>

The increase is primarily due to the expense associated with a higher volume of
transactions in 1996.  The increase as a percentage of revenues increased
by 3% primarily because the QuantEX revenues were a larger mix of the total
revenues.  The QuantEX product has slightly lower margins than POSIT because
there are no floor brokerage expenses associated with POSIT.

</TABLE>

The increase is due primarily to depreciation of capital expenditures acquired
since the beginning of 1995 and increased rent expense, both of which are
primarily related to the opening of the Boston office.

</TABLE>

Consulting is primarily for equity research functions which the Company
currently believes are advantageous to out-source.  The increase is due
primarily to the Firm undertaking special projects related to contingency
planning and systems' security.

The increase is due primarily to an increase in quotation services charges and
communications charges associated with the increased number of QuantEX
installations as well as the increased amount of QuantEX business.

The increase is largely due to an increase in amortization of capitalized
software and an allowance for general legal expenses.

offset by a decrease in the effective tax rate from 45% to 44%.
