grant of the option.

4     The  potential  realizable  values  shown in the  columns are net of the
option exercise price.  These amounts assume annual  compounded rates of stock
price  appreciation  of 0%,  5%,  and 10% from the date of grant to the option
expiration  date,  a term of ten years.  These rates have been set by the U.S.
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  and are not intended to forecast  future
appreciation,  if any, of the Company's Common Stock. Actual gains, if any, on
stock option  exercises are dependent on several factors  including the future
performance of the Company's  Common Stock,  overall stock market  conditions,
and the  optionee's  continued  employment  through  the vesting  period.  The
amounts reflected in this table may not actually be realized.

      1991 STOCK OPTION PLAN. In December 1983, the Board of Directors adopted
and  the  stockholders  of  Hanger   approved,   and  in  September  1991  the
stockholders  amended,  a Stock Option Plan (the "1991 Plan"),  which provides
for the grant of both  "incentive  stock  options"  under  Section 422A of the
Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended  (the  "Code"),   as  well  as
nonqualified stock options. The 1991 Plan is administered by the Committee and

of Common  Stock were  reserved  for  possible  issuance  upon the exercise of
options  under the 1993 Plan.  On May 12, 1998, an option for 5,000 shares was
granted to each of the seven eligible directors, for a total of 35,000 shares,
at an exercise price of $18.625 per share (which was equal to the closing sale
price of the  shares on the  American  Stock  Exchange  on the date of grant).
Under  the  1993  Plan,  an  option  to  purchase   5,000  shares  is  granted
automatically  on an  annual  basis to each  eligible  director  on the  third
business day  following  the date of each Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders  at
which the eligible  director is elected.  The exercise price of each option is
equal to 100% of the  closing  sale  price of the  shares as  reported  by the

becomes exercisable in four equal annual installments, commencing on the first
anniversary of the date of grant.

      NONQUALIFIED  STOCK  OPTIONS.  Hanger  has  granted  nonqualified  stock
options  other  than  pursuant  to the 1991 Plan and the 1993 Plan to  certain
officers and other  persons  which  permit such  persons to acquire  shares of
Common Stock  generally at not less than 100% of fair market value on the date

outstanding and held by a total of 12 persons.  All of such nonqualified stock

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

      In connection  with the  Company's  purchase on November 8, 1990, of the
Manufacturing Division of Ralph Storrs, Inc. ("Storrs"),  the Company effected
a $2.45 million,  seven-year  loan (the "Loan") from Chemical  Venture Capital
Associates,  L.P., a predecessor  to Chase Venture  Capital  Associates,  L.P.
("CVCA"),  in connection  with which the Company was required to issue to CVCA
warrants to purchase  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock in the event the
Loan was not repaid  prior to certain  dates.  Because the Loan was not repaid
prior to August 6,  1991  (i.e.,  271 days  after the date of the  Loan),  the
Company,  pursuant  to its loan  agreement  with CVCA dated  November 8, 1990,
issued  warrants to CVCA  entitling  it to purchase  297,883  shares of Common
Stock at a price of $4.16 per share.  Because the Loan was not repaid prior to
November 5, 1991  (i.e.,  361 days after the date of the Loan),  the  Company,
pursuant to its  November  8, 1990 loan  agreement  with CVCA,  issued to CVCA
additional warrants entitling it to purchase 322,699 shares of Common Stock at
a price of $7.65 per share. The warrants are exercisable on or before December
31, 2001, and the exercise  prices are equal to the market value of the Common
Stock on the dates of grant of the warrants.  In May 1997, warrants for 71,969
shares were  exercised at $4.16 per share,  which  resulted in the issuance of
11,694 shares.

      On November 1, 1996, in connection  with the  Company's  acquisition  of
J.E. Hanger,  Inc. of Georgia,  the Company entered into a Senior Subordinated
Note  Purchase  Agreement  with CVCA  providing  for the  issuance of a Senior
Subordinated Note (the "Senior  Subordinated Note") in the principal amount of
$4 million and detachable warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of Common Stock.


                                      15

<PAGE>

The fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant on the warrants
was $6.125 per share. The Company used the net proceeds of its public offering
of Common  Stock in July  1997 to repay the  Senior  Subordinated  Note,  as a
result of which the warrants  were amended to reduce the number of  underlying
shares to 360,000 shares. These detachable warrants,  which are exercisable on
or before  November  1, 2004,  have an  exercise  price of $4.01 as to 209,183
shares and an exercise price of $6.38 as to 150,818 shares.
