Dear rabid_-ga,

Thank you for your question.  I have attempted to gather as much
financial information available on Cambridge Integrated Services
Group, Inc. and am posting it as quickly as possible, given the
urgency of your request.  Some information below is available only
through pay services, such as the Dun & Bradstreet reports.

____________________________________________

From the Aon Securities & Exchange Commission Form 10-K for the Aon
Corporation, one can find some information regarding the sale of
Cambridge Integrated Services Group, referred to as "Cambridge."

You can find the full document here:
http://www.shareholder.com/Common/Edgar/315293/1047469-05-6608/05-00.pdf


Page 35:
"In November2004, we sold our Cambridge Integrated Services Group,Inc.
("Cambridge") claims administration business to Scandent  Holdings
Mauritius Limited (SHM) for $90million in cash plus convertible
preferred stock in SHM, valued at $15million. Because of our 
convertible preferred stock holding and other factors, we included
Cambridge's results prior to the sale's effective date, as well as a 
pretax gain on the sale of approximately $15million, in income from
continuing operations. "


In the same document, Aon's decrease in revenues due to sale of
Cambridge is cited on Page 53:

" $19million in lower revenue from the sale of our U.S. Claims service
business effective November30, 2004.  The sale of our U.S. and U.K.
claims services businesses more than offset the positive impact of
acquisitions made by our brokerage  operations. Lower claims services
revenue (in continuing operations) is primarily due to the sale of
Cambridge. "


Aon's 10-Q statement can be found from Yahoo Business here, and
contains a bit more information:
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/041109/aoc10-q.html

Aon maintains a minority financial interest in Cambridge.


Also of potential interest, as Aon was recently the owner of
Cambridge, is this rating of Aon:
""We view Aon's sale in its stake as mostly a way to avoid perceived
conflicts of interests of an insurance brokers owning a stake in an
insurance company, in light of NYAG's scrutiny of the
property/casualty industry," Gelb wrote. "We believe Aon's actions
will have implications for other brokers. For example, MMC may be
pressured sell its stake in Axis Capital to avoid perceived conflicts
of interest with insurers."

Endurance Specialty Insurance Ltd., Endurance Reinsurance Corporation
of America and Endurance Worldwide Insurance Ltd. all are rated A
(Excellent) by A.M. Best Co."
A.M. Best Newswire, Dec 6, 2004 pNA, Aon Sells Endurance Stake for
More Than $320 Million., provided by Comtex.


Aon's net income prior to the sale of Cambridge was as follows:

AON has reported net income of USD 180m compared to USD 155m for the
2nd quarter - first half figures are USD 371m and USD 316m
respectively. Consolidated revenues were up 6% for the 2nd quarter and
7% for the 6 months.

This article from the Financial Times quotes Cambridge as being a $230
million company - slightly different than other sources.

Although the terms of the sale of Cambridge were not disclosed, the
purchase price has been estimated by Business Week at $175 million:

"On Oct. 30, Scandent Group, an Indian-owned Singapore company with
operations in Bangalore, bought Cambridge Integrated Services Group,
the $230 million back-office arm of Chicago insurer Aon Corp., for an
estimated $175 million. That makes Scandent the third-largest
insurance back-office outfit in the U.S. While Cambridge will remain a
U.S. company, Scandent plans to list it on the Indian stock exchange."

Business Week, Nov 22, 2004 i3909 p58, LET THE DEALS BEGIN; As
Bangalore's outsourcing industry surges, takeovers will be fast and
furious. Manjeet Kripalani; Josey Puliyenthurethel.



This article estimates the sale at $110 million:
"In one of the biggest cross-border acquisitions in the BPO sector,
the Scandent group will pay about $110m to buy a majority stake in the
claims processing subsidiary of US-based Aon Corporation."
