        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, ITG
Global Trading, Inc. ("Global Trading") which is a 50% partner in the Global
POSIT joint venture, ITG Australia PTY Limited, which is a 50% partner in ITG
Pacific Holdings, and ITG Ventures Inc. Jefferies Group, Inc. ("Jefferies
Group") owned over 80% of the Company's common stock at September 26, 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 nine months ended September 26, 1997 and
the nine months ended September 27, 1996 of $0.05 and $0.01, respectfully. The
impact is expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share for
the three months ended September 26, 1997 of $0.02 and no change for September
27, 1996. Fully diluted earnings per share for both the nine months ended
September 26, 1997 and September 27, 1996 will increase by $0.01. The impact is
expected to have no effect on fully diluted earnings per share for the three
months ended September 26, 1997 and is expected to increase by $0.01 for the
three months ended September 27, 1996.


INCOME TAXES

The Company is a member of the Jefferies 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.

Increased revenues were attributed to a growing use of POSIT, QuantEX and the
Company's other electronic trading desk services. For the nine months ended
September 26, 1997 ("First Nine Months 1997"), POSIT revenues were approximately
12% or $6.0 million above the nine months ended September 27, 1996 ("First Nine
Months 1996"), while QuantEX revenues were approximately 21% or $4.1 million
above the First Nine Months 1996. For the First Nine Months 1997, other
electronic trading desk services were 72% or $8.6 million above First Nine
Months 1996.

</TABLE>

The increase is due to an increase in the number of employees offset by an
increase in capitalized software. Capitalized software development costs
increased approximately $1.4 million over the comparable First Nine Months 1996
primarily due to additional projects and an increase in staff engaged in
software development.

</TABLE>

The increase is primarily due to the expense associated with a higher volume of
transactions and shares in First Nine Months 1997. The increase as a percentage
of revenues increased by 1.2 points primarily from a shift in the business mix
towards QuantEX and electronic trading desk services. Those products have
slightly lower margins than POSIT due to charges for floor brokerage fees which
are not incurred with the POSIT business.

</TABLE>

The increase is due primarily to the Company's relocation of its corporate
headquarters from 900 Third Avenue to 380 Madison Avenue in mid-June. Rent
expense increased accordingly as the rentable square footage increased by more
than 100%. The Company also had to accelerate the write-off of the unamortized
leasehold improvements from the 900 Third Avenue Location. In addition,
depreciation increased as a result of purchases of additional equipment
associated with the move and increased headcount.

</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 First Nine Months 1996 related to
contingency planning and systems' security.

</TABLE>

The increase is primarily due to communications costs incurred in 1995 and 1996
relating to the POSIT Joint Venture, which were presented for payment in the
second quarter of 1997. In addition, duplicate services were required for 900
Third Avenue and 380 Madison Avenue in connection with the move of the Company's
headquarters.

</TABLE>

The increase is largely attributable to increases in headcount of 45 employees.
Related costs, primarily services provided by Jefferies & Company, Inc.
increased accordingly by approximately $270,000. Travel and entertainment costs
increased by approximately $506,000 primarily from an increased effort to
promote the Company's products and increased headcount. Lastly, legal fees
increased by approximately $380,000 as a result of exploring strategic
initiatives and not having the benefit of in house counsel on staff.

</TABLE>

The increase is primarily due to the increase in pretax earnings partially
offset by a decrease in the effective tax rate from 43.3% to 42.6% from research
and development credits taken in 1997. There were no similar benefits in the
First Six Months 1996 due to a temporary expiration of the credits.

Increased revenues were attributed to a growing use of POSIT, QuantEX and the

1.7% or $0.3 million above the comparable three months ended September 27, 1996
("Third Quarter 1996"), while QuantEX revenues were approximately 20% or $1.3
million above the Third Quarter 1996. For the Third Quarter 1997, other
electronic trading desk services were 75% or $3.2 million above the Third
Quarter 1996.

</TABLE>

The increase is primarily due to an increase in salary and related employee
benefits as a result of the increase in the number of employees. This was offset
by an increase in capitalized software costs from additional development
projects and an increase in staff engaged in software development.

</TABLE>

The increase is primarily due to the expense associated with a higher volume of
transactions and shares in Third Quarter 1997. As a percentage of revenues,
transaction processing expenses increased by 0.2 points 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 the Company's relocation of its corporate
headquarters from 900 Third Avenue to 380 Madison Avenue in mid-June. Rent
expense increased accordingly as the rentable square footage increased by more
than 100%. In addition, depreciation increased as a result of purchases of
additional equipment associated with the move and increased headcount.

Consulting is primarily for functions which the Company currently believes are
advantageous to out-source. The increase is due primarily to risk management and
compensation consulting projects undertaken in 1997.

The 1997 increase stems from the Company's growth both in client base and
headcount. In addition, the Company incurred miscellaneous move related costs in
July 1997.

</TABLE>

The increase is largely attributable to increases in headcount of 45 employees.
Related costs, primarily services provided by Jefferies & Company, Inc.
increased accordingly by approximately $95,000. Travel and entertainment costs
increased by approximately $400,000 primarily from timing of travel and
entertainment submissions by employees and increased headcount. Finally, legal
fees increased by approximately $115,000 primarily from an increased usage in
outside legal counsel, whereas in the same period in 1996 the Company had
benefited from in house counsel. This increase was primarily offset by a
decrease in software amortization of $ 400,000.
