                            Information Holdings Inc.

         Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

     On April 8, 2003, Information Holdings Inc. (the "Company") sold, pursuant
to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 27, 2003, substantially all of the
assets and certain liabilities of its wholly owned subsidiaries CRC Press LLC
("CRC Press LLC"), CRC Press (U.K.) LLC and Parthenon Publishing Group, Inc., to
CRC Press I LLC and Routledge No. 2 Limited, both wholly owned subsidiaries of
Taylor & Francis Group plc, for approximately $95,000,000 in cash, subject to a
post closing adjustment.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002
give effect to the disposition of CRC Press LLC and its subsidiaries ("CRC
Press") as if it occurred on January 1, 2000. The following unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2002
gives effect to the disposition of CRC Press as if it occurred on that date. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not
reflect the gain on the sale of CRC Press, nor do they reflect imputed interest
on the proceeds from the disposition.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Company's management. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements are not designed to represent and do not
represent what the Company's results of operations and financial position would
have been had the aforementioned transaction been completed as of the date or at
the beginning of the period indicated or to project the Company's results of
operations or financial position at any future date or any future period. The
pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in
the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     For purposes of determining the pro forma effect of the disposition of CRC
Press on Information Holdings Inc.'s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
December 31, 2002, the following adjustments have been made (In thousands):

(1)  Represents the proceeds from the sale of CRC Press and the estimated gain
     on disposition, adjusted for assets and liabilities of CRC Press retained
     by the Company, as follows - debit (credit):

     Cash                                                              $77,337
     Other current liabilities                                            (156)
     Paid in capital                                                   (16,591)
     Accumulated comprehensive income                                     (358)
     Retained earnings (earnings of CRC Press prior to disposition)    (27,732)
     Retained earnings (estimated after-tax gain on disposition)       (32,500)

(2)  Represents a reclassification of net long-term deferred taxes. The
     disposition of CRC Press results in a change in long-term deferred taxes
     from a net liability to a net asset.
