        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 28, 1997.

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 1996 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 1997.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In addition to the historical information contained throughout this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, there are forward-looking statements that reflect
management's expectations for the future. A variety of important factors could
cause results to differ materially from such statements. These factors are noted
throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and include: the actions of both
current and potential new competitors, rapid changes in technology, financial
market volatility, evolving industry regulation, cash flows into or redemptions
from equity funds, effects of inflation, customer trading patterns, and new
products and services.

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used
to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded. The impact is expected to result in an increase
in primary earnings per share for the first quarter ended March 28, 1997 of
$0.01 and have no impact on primary earnings per share for the first quarter
ended March 29, 1996. Statement 128 will have no impact on the calculation of
fully diluted earnings per share for either of these quarters.

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
28, 1997, POSIT revenues were approximately 6% or $1.1 million above the
comparable period for 1996, while QuantEX revenues were approximately 18% or
$1.0 million above the comparable period for 1996. For the quarter ended March
28, 1997, other electronic trading desk services were 44% or $1.6 million above
the comparable period for 1996.

</TABLE>

The increase is due primarily to an increase in the number of employees offset
by a decrease in profitability based compensation.

</TABLE>

The increase is primarily due to the expense associated with a higher volume of
transactions and shares in 1997. The increase as a percentage of revenues
increased by 15% primarily because the QuantEX and electronic trading desk
service revenues were a larger mix of the total revenues. The QuantEX product
and electronic trading desk services have slightly lower margins than POSIT
because there are no floor brokerage expenses associated with POSIT.

</TABLE>

The increase is due primarily to increased depreciation from the purchase of
additional equipment associated with increased headcount. In addition, the
Company accelerated the write-off of unamortized leasehold improvements at 900
Third Avenue.

</TABLE>

Consulting is primarily for functions which the Company currently believes are
advantageous to out-source. The decrease is due primarily to the Firm
undertaking nonrecurring special projects in 1996 related to contingency
planning and systems' security.

</TABLE>

The decrease is due primarily to credits received as a result of renegotiated
bills and cost savings achieved from new vendors.

</TABLE>

Software amortization for the quarter ended March 28, 1997 increased over the
comparable period for 1996. The increase is offset by a decrease in marketing
costs and firm travel and entertainment.

</TABLE>

The increase is primarily due to the increase in pretax earnings partially
offset by a decrease in the effective tax rate from 44% to 43% from research and
development credits taken in 1997.
