NOTE C -- ACQUISITION

     On November 1, 1996,  Hanger  acquired J.E.  Hanger,  Inc. of Georgia,  a
Georgia  corporation  ("JEH").  Each outstanding share of JEH Common Stock was
converted  into  $2,009.13 in cash (subject to adjustment as discussed  below)
and 45.66  shares of Hanger  Common  Stock.  The total  amount of cash paid to
holders  of JEH  Common  Stock  was $44  million  (subject  to  adjustment  as
discussed  below) and the total number of shares of Hanger Common Stock issued
to holders of JEH Common  Stock was one  million  shares.  Based on the market
price of the shares on July 29, 1996,  the date of the Merger  Agreement,  the
shares issued in the merger were valued at $5.25 per share.

     The $44 million in cash  payable by Hanger in exchange  for the shares of
JEH Common Stock consisted of (i) approximately $40 million, which was paid at
the closing and is not subject to any  adjustment  and (ii)  approximately  $4
million  which  was  placed  in an escrow  account  with a bank  (the  "Escrow
Agent"),  will be subject to adjustment as discussed below and will be paid as
promptly as practicable  after the amount of such  post-closing  adjustment is
determined as described  below.  The  post-closing  adjustment is based on the
amount of JEH's shareholders' equity at the November 1, 1996 effective

                                       7


<PAGE>

date of the merger,  exceeds or is less than $22,926,999,  which is the amount
of JEH's  shareholders'  equity at December 31, 1995, less (i) the fair market
value of certain marketable  securities  distributed to JEH shareholders prior
to  November  1,  1996,  (ii)  the cash  proceeds  from the sale by JEH of any
marketable  securities or  non-operating  real  properties  distributed to JEH
shareholders  prior to  November  1, 1996 and (iii) the net book  value of the
non-operating  real  properties  distributed  to  JEH  shareholders  prior  to
November  1,  1996.  In  addition,  the  post-closing  adjustment  may also be
increased by the additional federal income tax attributable to the election by
Hanger and JEH under  Section  338 (h) (10) of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"),  and any  corresponding  election  under state,
local or foreign tax law.

     Banque  Paribas  (the  "Bank"),  as the agent for a  syndicate  of banks,
provided  $90.0 million  principal  amount of senior  secured  financing  (the
"Senior  Financing  Facilities") that includes (i) $57.0 million of term loans
(the "Term Loans") for use in  connection  with the  acquisition,  (ii) a $8.0
million revolving loan facility (the "Revolver") and (iii) up to $25.0 million
principal amount of loans under an acquisition loan facility (the "Acquisition
Loans")  for use in  connection  with  future  acquisitions.  The  proceeds of
borrowings under the Term Loans,  along with approximately $8.0 million raised
from the Bank and Chase Venture Capital  Associates L.P. in the form of Senior
Subordinated  Notes with  detachable  warrants  and $4.0 million cash on hand,
were used to (i) provide the cash consideration paid (subject to adjustment as
discussed  above),  (ii) refinance  existing  Hanger and JEH  indebtedness  of
approximately $20.0 million and (iii) pay related transaction expenses.

     Of the Term Loans,  approximately  $29.0 million principal amount (the "A
Term Loan") will be amortized in equal quarterly  amounts and will mature five
years from the Closing Date, and $28.0 million  principal  amount (The "B Term
Loan") will be  amortized  in equal  quarterly  amounts and will mature  seven
years  from the  Closing  Date.  The final  maturity  of any  loans  under the
Revolver and  Acquisition  Loans will be five years from the Closing  Date. An
unused  commitment  fee of 1/2 of 1% per  year on the  unused  portion  of the
Revolver and the  Acquisition  Loan  facilities  will be payable  quarterly in
arrears.

     The above Senior  Financing  Facilities  are secured by a first  priority
security interest in all of the common stock of Hanger's  subsidiaries and all
assets of Hanger and its subsidiaries. At Hanger's option, the annual interest
rate will be adjusted  to LIBOR plus 2.75% or a Base Rate (as  defined  below)
plus  1.75% in the case of the A Term  Loan,  Acquisition  Loans and  Revolver
borrowings,  and adjusted LIBOR plus 3.25% or Base Rate plus 2.25% in the case
of the B Term  Loan.  The  "Base  Rate" is  defined  as the  higher of (i) the
federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, or (ii) the prime  commercial  lending rate
of the Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., as announced from time to time.

     All or any portion of outstanding loans under any of the Senior Financing
Facilities  may be prepaid at any time and  commitments  may be  terminated in
whole or in part at the option of Hanger  without  premium or penalty,  except
that  LIBOR  - based

                                       8


<PAGE>

loans may only be paid at the end of the applicable interest period. Mandatory
prepayments will be required in the event of certain sales of assets,  debt or
equity financings and under certain other circumstances.

     Cash interest on the  Subordinated  Notes,  which will mature eight years
from the date of issuance,  will be payable quarterly at an annual rate of 8%;
provided, however, that Hanger will be permitted, in lieu of cash interest, to
pay interest in a combination of cash and additional  Subordinated Notes ("PIK
Interest Notes") at the above interest rate. (In that event,  interest paid in
cash will be at an annual  rate of 3.2% and  interest  paid in the form of PIK
Interest Notes will be paid at an annual rate of 4.8%.) The Subordinated Notes
will be subordinated to loans under the Senior  Financing  Facilities.  Hanger
will, at its option, be entitled to redeem the Subordinated  Notes at any time
at their  liquidation  value.  Hanger must use 100% of the  proceeds  from any
public offering of its equity securities to repurchase the Subordinated Notes,
if permitted under the Senior Financing Facilities.

     The detachable  warrants issued by Hanger in conjunction  with the Senior
Subordinated  Notes will  represent 1.6 million  shares of Hanger Common Stock
with an exercise  price equal to the lower of (a) $4.01 as to 929,700  shares,
and (b) $6.375 as to 670,300 shares.  Up to 50% of the Warrants  (representing
up to 800,000  shares of Hanger  Common  Stock)  will be  terminated  upon the
repayment  of 100% of the  Subordinated  Notes within 18 months of the date of
issuance.  An additional 5% of the Warrants  (representing up to 80,000 shares
of Hanger Common  Stock) will be terminated  upon the repayment of 100% of the
Subordinated Notes within 12 months of the date of issuance.  Warrants will be
terminated pro-rata across the above two exercise prices.

Hanger are presented as if the  acquisition  had been made at the beginning of

</TABLE>

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

   NET SALES

     Net sales for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996  amounted  to
approximately  $40,779,000,  an increase of approximately $1,668,000, or 4.3%,
over  net  sales  of  approximately  $39,111,000  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995. Of this $1,668,000  increase,  $1,449,000 was derived from
patient care centers and facilities that were in operation during both periods
("Internal  Base Net  Sales").  Contributing  to the  $1,449,000  increase  in
Internal Base Net Sales was a $1,202,000,  or 4.0%,  increase  attributable to
patient care centers, a $371,000,  or 5.8%,  decrease from manufacturing and a
$618,000, or 30.8%, increase from distribution.

   GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit for the first nine months of 1996 increased by approximately
$1,273,000,  or 6.1%, over the prior year's comparable period. Gross profit as
a percent of

                                      10


<PAGE>

net sales increased from 53.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to
54.1% in the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996.  The  increase in gross
profit as a percent of net sales was primarily a result of a decrease in labor
costs.

   SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 increased by approximately $1,318,000, or 9.2%, compared to
the first nine months of 1995.  In addition to  increasing  in dollar  amount,
selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  as a  percent  of net  sales
increased to 38.5% for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 from 36.7% of
net sales for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995.  The  increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to (i)
the Company's new OPNET program which generated  insignificant revenues during
the period,  and (ii) an increase in  manager's  profit  participation  at the
patient  care  centers  resulting  from  an  increase  in  business  and a new
incentive  plan  implemented  in 1996. It is expected that OPNET revenues will
exceed expenses relating to that program in the fourth quarter.

   INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

     As a result of the  increase  in net sales and gross  profit,  which more
than  offset the  increase in selling,  general and  administrative  expenses,
income from  operations  for the first nine months  ended  September  30, 1996
amounted to approximately  $4,482,000,  an increase of $101,000, or 2.3%, over
the prior year's comparable period. Income from operations as a percent of net
sales  decreased  from 11.2% in the nine months  ended  September  30, 1995 to
11.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

   INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest   expense  for  the  first  nine  months  of  1996  amounted  to
approximately  $1,322,000, a decrease of approximately $224,000, or 14.5% from
the $1,546,000 of interest  expense incurred in the first nine months of 1995.
In addition,  interest  expense as a percent of net sales  decreased from 4.0%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 3.2% for the nine months ended
September  30,  1996.  The  decrease in interest  was  primarily a result of a
decrease in outstanding borrowings of approximately $2,600,000.

   INCOME TAXES

     The  provision  for income taxes for the nine months ended  September 30,
1996 amounted to  approximately  $1,315,000,  compared to a $1,141,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995.

                                      11


<PAGE>

   NET INCOME

     As a result of the above,  the Company recorded net income of $1,738,000,
or $.21 per share, in the first nine months of 1996, compared to net income of
$1,588,000, or $.19 per share, in the first nine months of 1995.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30, 1996  COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

   NET SALES

     Net sales for the three months  ended  September  30,  1996,  amounted to
approximately  $14,529,000,  an increase of approximately  $979,000,  or 7.2%,
over  net  sales of  approximately  $13,550,000  for the  three  months  ended
September  30,  1995.  Of this  $979,000  increase,  $873,000  was a result of
patient care centers and facilities that were in operation during both periods
("Internal  Base Net Sales").  Of the $873,000  increase in Internal  Base Net
Sales,  an increase of $682,000,  or 6.5%,  was  attributable  to patient care
centers,  a decrease of $108,000,  or 5.1%, was  attributable to manufacturing
and an increase of $299,000, or 40.4%, was attributable to distribution.

   GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit in the three months ended  September  30, 1996  increased by
approximately  $894,000,  or 12.5%, from the prior year's comparable  quarter.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales  increased  from 52.7% to 55.3% for the
comparable periods. The increase in gross profit as a percent of net sales was
primarily  a result  of a  decrease  in labor  costs and a larger  percent  of
prosthetic business which has higher gross profit margins than orthotic sales.

   SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses in the three months ended
September 30, 1996 increased by approximately  $700,000, or 14.7%, compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1995. Selling, general and administrative
expenses  as a percent  of net sales  increased  to 37.6% in the three  months
ended September 30, 1996 from 35.1% for the last year's comparable period. The
increase  in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  was  primarily
attributable  to (i) the  Company's  OPNET  program  and,  (ii) an increase in
manager's profit  participation at the patient care centers  resulting from an
increase in business and a new incentive plan implemented in 1996.

   INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

     As a result of the  increase  in net sales and gross  profit,  which more
than  offset the  increase in selling,  general and  administrative  expenses,
income from  operations in the

                                      12


<PAGE>

three months ended September 30, 1996 amounted to approximately $1,989,000, an
increase of  $242,000,  or 13.9%,  over the prior year's  comparable  quarter.
Income from  operations  as a percent of net sales,  increased to 13.7% in the
third quarter of 1996 from 12.9% for the prior year's comparable period.

   INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest  expense in the third quarter of 1996 amounted to  approximately
$460,000, a decrease of approximately  $68,000, or 12.9%, from the $528,000 of
interest expense incurred in the third quarter of 1995.  Interest expense as a
percent of net sales  decreased  to 3.2% from 3.9% for the same  period a year
ago.  The  decrease  in  interest  was  primarily  a result of a  decrease  in
outstanding borrowings of approximately $2,600,000.

   INCOME TAXES

     The provision  for income taxes for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996
was $645,000 compared to $488,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

   NET INCOME

     As a result of the above, the Company recorded net income of $850,000, or
$.10 per share,  in the quarter  ended  September  30,  1996,  compared to net
income of $687,000,  or $.08 per share,  in the quarter  ended  September  30,
1995.

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The  Company's  consolidated  working  capital at September  30, 1996 was
approximately  $21.6 million.  Cash  available at that date was  approximately
$1,417,000.  Net  cash  provided  by  operations  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 was  $2,335,000.  The Company's  cash  resources  available
during  the  first  nine  months  of  1996  were   satisfactory  to  meet  its
obligations.

     The Company's  total  long-term  debt at September 30, 1996,  including a
current  portion  of  approximately  $2.0  million,  was  approximately  $23.2
million. Such indebtedness  included:  (i) $4.0 million principal amount of an
8.5%  Convertible  Note;  (ii)  $1.0  million  principal  amount  of an  8.25%
Convertible  Note; (iii) $12.5 million borrowed under the Company's  revolving
credit facility with NationsBank, N.A. (the "Bank"); (iv) $4.0 million in term
loans  borrowed  from the Bank and (v)  approximately  $1.7  million  of other
indebtedness.

     As discussed in Note C to the financial statements,  on November 1, 1996,
Hanger acquired J.E. Hanger,  Inc. of Georgia, a Georgia  corporation  ("JEH")
for approximately $44 million in cash and one million of Hanger common stock.

                                      13


<PAGE>

     Also as discussed in Note C to the financial  statements,  Banque Paribas
(the "Bank"),  as the agent for a syndicate of banks,  provided  $90.0 million
principal   amount  of  senior  secured   financing  (the  "Senior   Financing
Facilities")  that includes (i) $57.0 million of term loans (the "Term Loans")
for use in connection with the acquisition, (ii) a $8.0 million revolving loan
facility (the  "Revolver") and (iii) up to $25.0 million  principal  amount of
loans under an acquisition loan facility (the "Acquisition  Loans") for use in
connection with future acquisitions. The proceeds of borrowings under the Term
Loans,  along with  approximately  $8.0 million raised from the Bank and Chase
Venture Capital Associates L.P. in the form of Senior  Subordinated Notes with
detachable  warrants and $4.0  million cash on hand,  were used to (i) provide
the cash consideration  paid (subject to adjustment as discussed above),  (ii)
refinance existing Hanger and JEH indebtedness of approximately  $20.0 million
and (iii) pay related transaction expenses.

     The  Company  plans to finance  future  acquisitions  through  internally
generated  funds or borrowings  under the Acquisition  Loans,  the issuance of
notes or shares of  common  stock of the  Company,  or  through a  combination
thereof.

     The Company is actively  engaged in ongoing  discussions with prospective
acquisition candidates. The Company plans to continue to expand its operations
through  acquisitions,  at a  slower  rate,  with  a view  towards  increasing
efficiency and profitability of its existing facilities.

   OTHER

     Inflation has not had a significant  effect on the Company's  operations,
as  increased  costs to the Company  generally  have been offset by  increased
prices of products and services sold.
