NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance  with Rule 10-01 of Regulation  S-X. They do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for  complete  financial  statements.  In  the  opinion  of  management,   all
adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.

     These  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
financial  statements of Hanger Orthopedic Group, Inc. (the "Company"),  as of
December 31, 1996,  and notes  thereto  included in the Annual  Report on Form
10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE B - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD - EARNINGS PER SHARE

     In  February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 128,  "Earnings  per
Share,"   which  will  replace  the  current  rules  for  earnings  per  share
computations,  presentation  and  disclosure.  Under the new  standard,  basic
earnings  per share  excludes  dilution  and is computed  by  dividing  income
available  to  common  shareowners  by the  weighted-average  number of common
shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted  earnings per share reflects the
potential  dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common  stock were  exercised  or converted  into common  stock.  SFAS No. 128
requires a dual  presentation  of basic and diluted  earnings per share on the
face of the income statement.

     The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 128 in the fourth  quarter
of this year and,  as  required  by the  standard,  we will  restate all prior
period  earnings per share data.  Our new  earnings per share  amounts are not
expected to be  materially  different  from those  computed  under the present
accounting standard.

NOTE D - ACQUISITIONS

     On  November  1, 1996,  Hanger  acquired  J.E.  Hanger,  Inc.  of Georgia
("JEH"), in a merger transaction effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger,  dated as of July 29,  1996  (the  "Merger  Agreement"),  by and among
Hanger,   JEH  and  JEH  Acquisition   Corporation,   a  Georgia   corporation
("Acquisition")  wholly-owned by Hanger. The Merger Agreement provided for the
merger of Acquisition  with and into JEH (the "Merger"),  as a result of which
JEH became a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Hanger,  effective  November 1, 1996.
Pursuant  to the Merger  Agreement,  Hanger  paid a total of $44  million  and
issued a total of  approximately  one million shares of Hanger common stock in
exchange for all of JEH's  outstanding  common stock on November 1, 1996,  and
paid an  additional  $1,783,000 to former JEH  shareholders  on March 27, 1997
pursuant to  provisions  in the Merger  Agreement  calling for a  post-closing
adjustment.

     During the first six months of 1997,  the Company  acquired four orthotic
and  prosthetic  companies.  The  aggregate  purchase  price  was  $9,679,200,
comprised of $6,315,000 in cash,  $2,864,200 in promissory  notes and $500,000
in common stock. The cash portion of these acquisitions was borrowed under the
Company's acquisition loan facility.

     The following unaudited pro-forma  consolidated  results of operations of
the Company are  presented as if the above  acquisitions  had been made at the
beginning of the periods presented:

     The pro-forma  consolidated  results of operations include adjustments to
give effect to amortization of goodwill,  interest expense on acquisition debt
and certain other adjustments,  together with related income tax effects.  The
unaudited pro-forma  information is not necessarily  indicative of the results
of  operations  that would have  occurred  had the  purchase  been made at the
beginning  of the  periods  presented  or the future  results of the  combined
operations.

NOTE E --- SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On July 31, 1997,  the Company sold 5.0 million shares of common stock in
an underwritten public offering at $11.00 per share resulting in approximately
$51 million of net  proceeds to the  Company.  The  Company  applied  such net
proceeds of the public


                                       8

<PAGE>

offering  to  the   repayment  of  Senior   Subordinated   Notes  and  certain
indebtedness outstanding under the Company's Senior Financing Facilities. Upon
repayment of the Senior  Subordinated Notes, the Company was required to write
off the  unamortized  debt  discount of $1.9 million  ($1.1 million net of tax
benefit that was  recorded  upon  issuance of such notes).  As a result of the
Company's  repayment of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Warrants previously
issued by the Company in conjunction with the Senior  Subordinated  Notes were
amended to reflect the reduction in the aggregate  number of shares of Company
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants from  1,600,000  shares to
720,000 shares.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30, 1997  COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1996

     NET SALES

     Net sales  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997 were  approximately
$67,594,000,  an increase of approximately  $41,344,000,  or 157.5%,  over net
sales of approximately $26,249,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
majority of increase was attributable to Hanger's  acquisition of J.E. Hanger,
Inc. of Georgia ("JEH") on November 1, 1996. In addition,  contributing to the
increase  in net  sales  was an  11.3%  increase  in  sales  by  those  Hanger
patient-care  centers operating throughout both six-month periods. The Company
believes that its net sales during the balance of 1997 will continue to exceed
1996 net sales.

     GROSS PROFIT

     Gross  profit for the six months  ended June 30,  1997 was  approximately
$33,042,000,  an increase of approximately $19,031,000,  or 135.8%, over gross
profit of  approximately  $14,011,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales  decreased from 53.4% in the six months
ended June 30, 1996 to


                                      10

<PAGE>

48.9% in the six months ended June 30, 1997. The 4.5% decrease in gross profit
as a percent of net sales is primarily attributable to the acquisition of JEH,
which  operated a large  distribution  division  that has lower  gross  profit
margins than patient-care services.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June
30, 1997 increased by approximately  $12,742,000,  or 124.6%,  compared to the
six  months  ended  June 30,  1996.  The  increase  in  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  was  primarily a result of the  acquisition  of JEH.
Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses as a  percentage  of net sales
decreased  to 34.0% from 38.9% for the same  period in 1996.  The  decrease in
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses as a  percentage  of net sales
occurred  primarily  as a result of cost  cutting  measures  completed  during
integration of JEH in the first quarter of 1997.

     INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

     Principally as a result of the above,  income from  operations in the six
months  ended June 30,  1997 was  approximately  $7,723,000,  an  increase  of
approximately  $5,230,000, or 209.8%, over the prior year's comparable period.
Income from  operations as a percentage of net sales increased to 11.4% in the
six  months  ended June 30,  1997 from 9.5% in the six  months  ended June 30,
1996.

     INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest  expense  for the  first six  months  of 1997 was  approximately
$3,377,000,   an  increase  of  approximately   $2,515,000,  or  291.9%,  over
approximately  $862,000  incurred  in the first six  months of 1996.  Interest
expense as a percentage of net sales  increased to 5.0% from 3.3% for the same
period  one year ago.  The  increase  in  interest  expense  was  attributable
primarily to the increase in bank debt resulting from the acquisition of JEH.

     INCOME TAXES

     The  Company's  effective  tax rate was 42.0% in the first six  months of
1997 versus 43.0% in 1996.  The  provision for income taxes for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 was  approximately  $1,789,000  compared to  approximately
$669,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     NET INCOME

     As  a  result  of  the  above,   the  Company   recorded  net  income  of
approximately $2,470,000, or $.23 per common share, in the first six months of
1997,  compared to net income of  approximately  $888,000,  or $.11 per common
share, in the first six months of 1996.

sales of  approximately  $14,021,000  for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The
majority of the increase was  attributable to Hanger's  acquisition of JEH. In
addition,  contributing  to the increase in net sales was an 11.8% increase in
sales by those Hanger patient-care  centers operating during the entire period
of both quarters.

     GROSS PROFIT

     Gross  profit  in the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1997  was  approximately
$18,322,000,  an increase of approximately $10,656,000,  or 139.0%, over gross
profit of approximately  $7,666,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales  decreased from 54.7% in the first quarter
of 1996 to 50.0% in the first  quarter  of 1997.  The 4.7%  decrease  in gross
profit  as a  percentage  of  net  sales  is  attributable  primarily  to  the
acquisition  of JEH,  which  operated a large  distribution  division that has
lower gross profit margins than patient-care services.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses in the quarter ended June
30, 1997 increased by  approximately  $6,814,000,  or 130.4%,  compared to the
quarter   ended  June  30,  1996.   The  increase  in  selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses  was  primarily a result of the  acquisition  of JEH.
Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses as a  percentage  of net sales
decreased  to 32.9%  from  37.3% for same  period  in 1996.  The  decrease  in
selling,  general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was
primarily due to cost cutting measures completed during the integration of JEH
in the first quarter of 1997.

     INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

     Principally  as a result of the  above,  income  from  operations  in the
quarter  ended June 30,  1997 was  approximately  $5,087,000,  an  increase of
$3,295,000,  or 183.9%, over the prior year's comparable quarter.  Income from

approximately  $5,745,000.  The Company's cash resources were  satisfactory to
meet its obligations for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

     Under the terms of a new Financing and Security Agreement entered into on
November 1, 1996,  between  Banque  Paribas (the "Bank") and the Company,  the
Bank provided up to $90.0 million  principal  amount of senior  financing (the
"Senior Financing  Facilities")  that includes:  (i) $57 million of term loans
(the "Term Loans") for use in connection  with  Hanger's  acquisition  of JEH;
(ii) an $8.0 million revolving loan facility (the "Revolver"); and (iii) up to
$25 million  principal amount of loans under an acquisition loan facility (the
"Acquisition Loans") for use in connection with future acquisitions.

     In addition,  on November 1, 1996, the Company borrowed $8.0 million from
the Bank and  Chase  Venture  Capital  Associates  L.P.  in the form of Senior
Subordinated Notes ("Senior Subordinated Notes") with detachable warrants.

     The Company's total debt at June 30, 1997, including a current portion of
approxi mately $6,806,000,  was approximately  $82,754,000.  Such indebtedness
included: (i) $55,114,000 of Term Loans; (ii) $8,000,000 of Acquisition Loans;
(iii) $5,500,000


                                      13

borrowed under the Revolver; (iv) $6,387,000, net of discount,  borrowed under
the  Senior  Subordinated  Notes;  and  (v) a total  of  $7,753,000  of  other
indebtedness.

     Of the Term Loans,  approximately  $29.0 million principal amount (the "A
Term  Loan")  is being  amortized  in  quarterly  amounts  and will  mature on
December 31, 2001, and $28.0 million  principal  amount (the "B Term Loan") is
being amortized in quarterly amounts and will mature on December 31, 2003. The
final  maturity of any loans under the  Revolver  and  Acquisition  Loans will
mature on November 2, 2001. The Senior  Financing  Facilities  provided for an
initial commitment fee of 2.65% on the $90.0 million facility. In addition, an
unused  commitment  fee of .5% of 1% per  year on the  unused  portion  of the
Revolver and the Acquisition Loan facilities is payable quarterly in arrears.

     The Senior Financing  Facilities are  collateralized  by a first priority
security interest in all of the common stock of the Company's subsidiaries and
all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.  At the Company's option,  the
annual  interest rate will be adjusted to be either 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 a 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 .5%,  or (ii) the prime  commercial
lending rate of Chase  Manhattan  Bank,  N.A., as announced from time to time.
The Agreement relating to the Senior Financing  Facilities  contains a minimum
net  worth  covenant  and  prohibits  the  payment  of cash  dividends  on the
Company's Common Stock.

     All or any portion of outstanding loans under any of the Senior Financing
Facilities  may be repaid at any time and  commitments  may be  terminated  in
whole or in part at the option of the  Company  without  premium  or  penalty,
except that  LIBOR-based  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 Senior  Subordinated Notes, which mature on November
1, 2004, is payable quarterly at an annual rate of 8.0%. However,  the Company
is permitted,  in lieu of cash  interest,  to pay interest in a combination of
cash and additional  Senior  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 Senior  Subordinated  Notes are subordinated to
loans under the Senior  Financing  Facilities.  The Company is, at its option,
entitled  to  redeem  the  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  at any  time at  their
liquidation value.

     Detachable  warrants issued by the Company in conjunction with the Senior
Subordinated  Notes  represent 1.6 million  shares of the Company Common Stock
with an exercise  price equal to $4.01 as to 929,700  shares,  and $6.38 as to
670,300 shares.  Up to 50% of the warrants  (representing up to 800,000 shares
of the Company Common Stock)


                                      14

will be terminated upon the repayment of 100% of the Senior Subordinated Notes
on or prior to May 1, 1998. An additional 5% of the warrants  (representing up
to 80,000  shares of the Company  Common  Stock) will be  terminated  upon the
repayment of 100% of the Senior  Subordinated Notes on or prior to November 1,
1997.  Warrants  will be  terminated  pro-rata  across the above two  exercise
prices.

     On November 1, 1996,  the Company  acquired JEH, in a merger  transaction
effected  pursuant to an  Agreement  and Plan of Merger,  dated as of July 29,
1996  (the  "Merger  Agreement"),  by and  among  the  Company,  JEH  and  JEH
Acquisition Corporation, a Georgia corporation ("Acquisition") wholly-owned by
the Company.  The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of Acquisition with
and into JEH (the  "Merger"),  as a result of which JEH became a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company,  effective November 1, 1996. Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement,  the Company paid a total of $44 million in cash and issued a total
of  approximately  one million  shares of the Company Common Stock in exchange
for all of JEH's  outstanding  common  stock on November 1, 1996,  and paid an
additional $1,783,000 to former JEH shareholders on March 27, 1997 pursuant to
provisions in the Merger Agreement calling for a post-closing adjustment.

     During the first six months of 1997,  the Company  acquired four orthotic
and prosthetic  companies.  The aggregate  purchase price excluding  potential
earn-out   provisions  was  $9,679,200,   comprised  of  $6,315,000  in  cash,
$2,864,000 in promissory  notes and $500,000 in common stock. The cash portion
of these acquisitions was borrowed as Acquisition Loans.

     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
aggressively through acquisitions.

     On July 31, 1997,  the Company sold 5.0 million shares of Common Stock in
an underwritten public offering at $11.00 per share resulting in approximately
$51 million of net  proceeds to the  Company.  The  Company  applied  such net
proceeds of the public  offering to the  repayment of the Senior  Subordinated
Notes  and  certain  indebtedness   outstanding  under  the  Senior  Financing
Facilities.  Upon repayment of the Senior  Subordinated Notes, the Company was
required to write off the  unamortized  debt  discount of $1.9  million  ($1.1
million net of tax benefit that was recorded upon the issuance of such notes).
As a result of the Company's  repayment of the Senior  Subordinated Notes, the
Warrants  previously  issued by the  Company  in  conjunction  with the Senior
Subordinated  Notes were  amended to reflect the  reduction  in the  aggregate
number of  shares of  Company  Common  Stock  issuable  upon  exercise  of the
Warrants from 1,600,000 shares to 720,000 shares.

     Capital  expenditures  during the first six  months of 1997  approximated
$1.1 million and the Company expects  approximately  $.9 million of additional
capital  expenditures  during  the  balance  of the year.  Working  capital is
expected to be available to fund such capital expenditures.

     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.

     The Company has entered  into an interest  rate swap  agreement to reduce
the impact of changes in interest rates on its A Term Loan commitment. At June
30, 1997, the Company had an  outstanding  interest rate swap agreement with a
commercial  bank,  having a total notional  principal amount of $28.5 million.
The agreement  effectively minimizes the Company's base interest rate exposure
between a floor of 5.32% and a cap of 7.0%.  The interest rate swap  agreement
matures on September  30,  1999.  The Company is exposed to credit loss in the
event  of  non-performance  by the  other  party  to the  interest  rate  swap
agreement.  All other debt accrues  interest at a fixed rate except the B Term
Loan commitment  which accrues  interest at a floating rate. A material change
in interest rates could have a significant  impact on the Company's  operating
results.

     The Company primarily provides services and customized devices throughout
the  United  States  and is  reimbursed,  in  large  part,  by  the  patients'
third-party insurers or governmentally  funded health insurance programs.  The
ability of the  Company's  debtors to meet their  obligations  is  principally
dependent  upon the  financial  stability  of the  insurers  of the  Company's
patients and future legislation and regulatory actions.

     In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS
128,  "Earnings  Per Share," which will replace the current rules for earnings
per share computations,  presentation and disclosure.  Under the new standard,
basic earnings per share excludes  dilution and is computed by dividing income
available  to common  shareholders  by the weighted  average  number of common
shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted  earnings per share  reflect the
potential  dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  SFAS 128 requires
a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the
income statement.

     The Company  will be required to adopt SFAS 128 in the fourth  quarter of
this year and, as  required by the  standard,  will  restate all prior  period
earnings per share data. The Company's earnings per share, as calculated under
SFAS 128,  are not expected to be  materially  different  from those  computed
under the present accounting standard.
