           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, ITG Ventures Inc., and ITG International Limited and its
wholly-owned subsidiary ITG Israel.  Jefferies Group, Inc. ("Jefferies Group")
owned over 80% of the Company's common stock at June 26, 1998.

     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 1997 annual report on Form 10-K.

BUSINESS SEGMENT

     Through its wholly-owned, broker/dealer subsidiary, ITG, the Company, is a
leading provider of technology-based equity trading services and transaction
research to institutional investors and brokers. ITG services help clients to
access liquidity, execute trades more efficiently and make better trading
decisions.

GOODWILL

     In May 1991, Jefferies Group acquired Integrated Analytics Corporation
("IAC") and contributed its business to ITG in 1992. IAC's principal product,
MarketMind, was used to develop the Company's QuantEX product. Goodwill, which
represents the excess of purchase price for IAC over the fair value of the IAC
net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. The
Company assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by determining
whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be
recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired
operation. At June 26, 1998 and December 31, 1997, goodwill amounted to $1.6
million and $1.9 million, net of accumulated amortization of $3.6 million and
$3.4 million, respectively.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

     Premises and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally
three to five years). Leasehold improvements are amortized using the
straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the
related assets or the non-cancelable lease term.

REVENUES

     REVENUES primarily consist of commission revenues. TRADE RECEIVABLE FROM
AFFILIATE consists of commissions receivable. Transactions in securities,
commission revenues and related expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis.

EXPENSES

     COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS include base salaries, bonuses,
employment agency fees, part-time employees, commissions paid to Jefferies &
Company, Inc. ("Jefferies & Co.") employees, the employee portion of capitalized
software and fringe benefits, including employer contributions for medical
insurance, life insurance, retirement plans and payroll taxes. TRANSACTION
PROCESSING consists of floor brokerage and clearing fees. SOFTWARE ROYALTIES are
payments to

                  INVESTMENT TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                                     Page 8 of 21
<PAGE>

BARRA Inc. ("BARRA"), the Company's joint venture partner in POSIT1. Royalty 
payments are calculated at an effective rate of 13.1% of adjusted POSIT 
revenues. The royalty payments related to Global Trading are calculated at an 
effective rate of 50% of pretax earnings. OCCUPANCY AND EQUIPMENT includes 
rent, depreciation, amortization of leasehold improvements, maintenance, 
utilities, occupancy taxes and property insurance. CONSULTING is for equity 
research, product development and other activities which the Company believes 
it is advantageous to out-source. TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND DATA PROCESSING 
SERVICES include costs for computer hardware, office automation and 
workstations, data center equipment, market data services and voice, data, 
telex and network communications. LOSS ON LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS includes 
goodwill amortization, equity loss pick-up, and initial start up costs 
associated with a European joint venture, the investment in the LongView 
Group and the Australian joint venture. OTHER GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE 
includes goodwill amortization, legal, audit, tax and promotional expenses. 
SPIN-OFF EXPENSES include legal, accounting, consulting and various other 
expenses.

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.

     Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Past effects of such changes in the rates were not material to the combined
financial statements.

     The Company recently received a "30-day letter" proposing certain
adjustments which, if sustained, would result in a tax deficiency of
approximately $9.6 million plus interest.  The adjustments proposed relate to
(i) the disallowance of deductions taken in connection with the termination of
certain compensation plans at the time of the Company's initial public offering
in 1994 and (ii) the disallowance of tax credits taken in connection with
certain research and development expenditures.  The company believes that the
tax benefits in question were taken properly and intends to vigorously contest
the proposed adjustments.  The Company is unable to predict when this matter
will be resolved or the costs associated with its resolution.

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE

     The Company capitalizes software development costs where technological
feasibility of the product has been established. The establishment of
technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of
capitalized software development costs requires considerable judgment by
management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited
to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated
economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies. The Company is
amortizing capitalized software costs using the straight-line method over the
estimated economic useful life, the average life of which is under two years.
Amortization begins when the product is available for release to customers.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company generally invests its excess cash in money market funds and

USE OF ESTIMATES

     Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the
disclosure of contingent assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses to prepare
these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's amounts to
conform to the current year's presentation.

JEFFERIES GROUP AND THE COMPANY ANNOUNCE INTENTION TO CONSIDER SEPARATING INTO
TWO INDEPENDENT COMPANIES

     On March 17, 1998, Jefferies Group and the Company jointly announced that
they are considering the separation of Jefferies & Co. and other Jefferies Group
subsidiaries ("JEFCO") from the Company through a spin-off.

     If the separation is completed, Jefferies Group shareholders will own 100%
of JEFCO and approximately 81.5% of the Company. The public Company shareholders
will continue to own 18.5% of the Company. (The Company percentage ownership
interests could change slightly as a result of the Company's stock repurchases
or issuances before the transaction closing date.)  The spin-off will be
accomplished by a tax-free distribution of 100% of the shares of a new company,
JEFCO, to Jefferies Group shareholders.  Jefferies Group's 15 million shares of
the Company would then be its only asset. The spin-off would be followed
immediately by a tax-free merger of Jefferies Group and the Company, with the
Company's public shareholders receiving shares of Jefferies Group.  Jefferies
Group would then be renamed Investment Technology Group, Inc.

     The spin-off and restructuring transactions are contingent on a number of
factors, including receipt of all Board of Directors and shareholder approvals
of Jefferies Group and the Company, receipt of a favorable tax ruling from the
Internal Revenue Service and other required regulatory and contractual
approvals.

Increased revenues were attributed to the continued growth of POSIT, the
Company's Electronic Trading Desk and QuantEX(2).  During the six months ended
June 26, 1998 ("First Half 1998"), POSIT revenues were approximately 36% or
$13.8 million above the comparable six months ended June 27, 1997 ("First Half
1997").  The number of shares per day traded via POSIT increased by
approximately 6 million or 40% to 21 million in the First Half 1998 over the
First Half 1997 amount of 15 million.  The Electronic Trading Desk posted a 62%
or $8.8 million increase over the First Half 1997 while client QuantEX revenues
were up 14% or $2.0 million.

Salaries, bonuses and related employee benefits increased as a result of the
Company's 28% growth in personnel, increases resulting from the Company's
profitability based compensation and increases in compensation due to market
pressures to attract and retain quality personnel. This increase was slightly
offset by capitalization of the employee portion of software costs from
additional software projects.

The increase is primarily due to the expense associated with a higher volume 
of transactions and shares in First Half 1998. However, as a percentage of 
revenues, transaction processing expenses declined by 2.3 points primarily 
from the Company's ability to leverage its technology by a mix of business in 
the higher margin POSIT product and volume discounts realized with clearing 
and execution services.

The increase is primarily due to the increase in pretax earnings. The 
effective tax rate increased from 42.5% in the First Half 1997 to 45.5% in 
the First Half 1998. Also responsible for the increase were certain 
non-deductible expenses, such as goodwill amortization related to equity 
investments, certain spin-off costs and exclusion of international losses in 
calculating income tax expense that were not present in the First Half 1997.

("Second Quarter 1998"), POSIT revenues were approximately 47% or $9.2 million
above the comparable three months ended June 27, 1997 ("Second Quarter 1997").
The number of shares per day traded via POSIT increased by approximately 7
million or 47% to 22 million in the Second Quarter 1998 over the Second Quarter
1997 amount of 15 million. The Company's client QuantEX revenues were
approximately 12% or $0.9 million above the Second Quarter 1997.  The Electronic
Trading Desk posted a 49% or $4.1 million increase over the Second Quarter 1997.

The increase is primarily due to the increase in pretax earnings. The

in the Second Quarter 1998. Also responsible for the increase were certain 
non-deductible expenses, such as goodwill amortization related to equity 
investments, certain spin-off costs and exclusion of international losses in 
calculating income tax expense that were not present in the Second Quarter 
1997.

THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

  OVERVIEW

  Some computer systems and software products were originally designed to accept
only two digit entries in the data code field.  As a result, certain computer
systems and software packages will not be able to interpret dates beyond
December 31, 1999 and thus will interpret dates beginning January 1, 2000
incorrectly.  This could potentially result in computer failure or
miscalculations, causing operating disruptions, including an inability to
process transactions, send invoices or engage in normal business operations.
Therefore, companies may have to upgrade or replace computer and software
systems in order to comply with the "Year 2000" requirements.

  ITG'S STRATEGY

  The Company is well aware of and is actively addressing the Year 2000 issue
and the potential problems that can arise in any computer and software system.
Planning and evaluation work began in 1997 including the identification of those
systems affected.   A "Year 2000 working group" was established to address the
Company's Year 2000 issue. The Company has targeted its efforts into three major
areas:

     i)    VENDORS;
     ii)   COMPANY PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS; AND
     iii)  CLIENTS.

VENDORS - The Company's ability to successfully meet the Year 2000 challenge is
in part dependent on its vendors.  The Company has contacted its vendors to
determine the status of their Year 2000 programs and has created a database
recording each vendor's readiness status.

COMPANY PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS - The Company has evaluated its trading systems and
has endeavored to examine all code contained in its internally produced
software.  Internal testing is scheduled to be completed by the end of 1998. The
Company plans to release Year 2000 compliant versions of its products by the
beginning of 1999.  The Company also intends to participate in the Securities
Industry Association's industry-wide testing program in 1999.

CLIENTS - A letter explaining the Company's Year 2000 strategy was sent to all
clients in July of 1998.  In addition, clients have been contacted on a project
by project basis to ascertain compatibility between the Company's systems and
changes made to the clients' systems.  In 1999, the Company plans to provide
point-to-point-testing opportunities for its clients.

  RISKS

  The Company currently expects to implement the necessary changes to ensure
that its internal operations are Year 2000 compliant prior to December 31, 1999.
However, if such changes are not completed in a timely manner, the Year 2000
issue could have a material impact on the Company's operations.  The Company
does not believe that the costs incurred to ready its systems for the Year 2000
will have a material effect on its financial condition.  Total costs for the
whole project are estimated to be between $2.5 and $3.0 million, which includes
the cost of personnel, consultants and software and hardware costs.   To date,
the Company has spent approximately $400,000 on the Year 2000 project.

  The Year 2000 issue, however, can affect all businesses that rely heavily on
automated systems.  A general failure of computer and communication systems
relied upon by the securities industry (such as the systems provided by long
distance telephone companies, the exchanges, Nasdaq, the Depository Trust
Company and  ADP Brokerage Services ) would prevent the Company from operating
in whole or in part until such systems have been restored.  In such case or if
the Year 2000 issue adversely affects the Company's customers, this in turn
could have a material adverse effect on the

                                    Page 18 of 21
<PAGE>

Company's trading revenues and collections.  Should the Company, third party
information vendors, other third party electronic vendors, or the Company's
customers fail to adequately address this issue, the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected.

Item 5.     Other Information

On July 17, 1998, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, ITG 
Ventures Inc., has entered into an agreement with Barclays California 
Corporation ("Barcal") pursuant to which Barcal will purchase all of the 
outstanding shares of the LongView Group Inc.  The transaction, which is 
subject to certain conditions, including Barcal regulatory approval, is 
expected to close in the third quarter of 1998 and to generate a gain.

The Company recently received a "30-day letter" proposing certain adjustments
which, if sustained, would result in a tax deficiency of approximately $9.6
million plus interest.  The adjustments proposed relate to (i) the disallowance
of deductions taken in connection with the termination of certain compensation
plans at the time of the Company's initial public offering in 1994 and (ii) the
disallowance of tax credits taken in connection with certain research and
development expenditures.  The company believes that the tax benefits in
question were taken properly and intends to vigorously contest the proposed
adjustments.  The Company is unable to predict when this matter will be resolved
or the costs associated with its resolution.
