                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          (Dollars In Thousands, Except Shares and Per Share Amounts)

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 notes 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.  Certain  reclassifications  of prior year's
data have been made to improve  comparability  and the Company  uses the gross
profit method to value inventory on an interim basis.

      These  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the
financial  statements  of  Hanger  Orthopedic  Group,  Inc.  ("Hanger"  or the
"Company")  and notes  thereto  included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended  December 31, 1999 filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

NOTE B - SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

      The Company evaluates segment  performance and allocates resources based
on the segments' EBITDA.  "EBITDA" is defined as income from operations before
depreciation,  amortization, and integration costs. EBITDA is not a recognized
measure  of  performance  under  Generally  Accepted   Accounting   Principles
("GAAP").  While  EBITDA  should  not  be  considered  in  isolation  or  as a
substitute  for net income,  cash flows from  operating  activities  and other
income or cash flow statement  data prepared in accordance  with GAAP, or as a
measure of profitability or liquidity,  management  understands that EBITDA is
customarily used as a criteria in evaluating  heath care companies.  Moreover,
substantially all of the Company's  financing  agreements contain covenants in
which EBITDA is used as a measure of financial performance. "Other" EBITDA not
directly attributable to reportable segments is primarily related to corporate
general and administrative expenses.

NOTE D - ACQUISITIONS

      On July 1, 1999, the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  stock of
NovaCare Orthotics and Prosthetics,  Inc. ("NovaCare O&P") from NovaCare, Inc.
pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement (the  "Agreement").  Under
the terms of the  Agreement,  the aggregate  consideration  totaled  $445,000,
which  consisted of the  assumption of  liabilities  and other  obligations of
$38,400 and the balance in cash.  Of the cash  portion,  $15,000 was placed in
escrow pending the  determination  of any potential  post closing  adjustments
relating  to working  capital.  On May 22,  2000,  an  arbitrator  awarded the
Company  $25,104  as a  result  of the  working  capital  deficiency  from the
purchase of NovaCare O&P. During the second quarter 2000, the Company received
$15,000 of the award from escrow,  and  approximately  $600 in interest on the
escrow was  recorded as  interest  income.  Also during the second  quarter of
2000,  Hanger  executed an agreement to settle the balance of the  arbitration
award with NovaCare,  Inc. for $9,700, of which $6,000 was received on July 3,
2000, and $3,700 was in the form of a promissory note to be paid by the end of
the fiscal year. The promissory note is secured and paid on a monthly basis of
approximately  $617 plus interest  computed at a per annum rate of 7%. Amounts
received and to be received under the arbitration and settlement agreements of
$24,700  have been  recorded  as a reduction  to "Excess  cost over net assets
acquired" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2000.

      Hanger required approximately $430,200 in cash to close the acquisition,
to pay  approximately  $20,000 of related fees and  expenses,  including  debt
issue  costs of  approximately  $16,000,  and to  refinance  existing  debt of
approximately  $2,500.  The funds were raised by Hanger  through (i) borrowing
approximately  $230,000  of  revolving  credit and term loans under a new bank
facility; (ii) selling $150,000 principal amount of 11.25% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2009; and (iii) selling  $60,000 of 7% Redeemable  Preferred  Stock.
The new bank credit facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility,
of which $30,000 was drawn on in connection  with the  acquisition of NovaCare
O&P,  an A term  facility  and a tranche B term  facility.  The 7%  Redeemable
Preferred Stock accrues annual dividends,  compounded quarterly,  equal to 7%,
is  subject to put rights and will not  require  principal  payments  prior to
maturity.  Such Preferred  Stock is  convertible  into shares of the Company's
non-voting common stock at a price of $16.50 per share.

      The  acquisition  of NovaCare O&P has been  accounted  for as a business
combination in accordance with the purchase method.  The results of operations
for this acquisition have been included in the Company's results since July 1,
1999.

      The following  table  summarizes  the unaudited  consolidated  pro forma
information,  assuming the  acquisition  had occurred at the  beginning of the
following period:

         due to the net loss for the Company for the six months ended June 30,

      Adjustments  made in arriving at the  unaudited  consolidated  pro forma
results include increased  interest expense on acquisition debt,  amortization
of goodwill,  adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and depreciable
lives, preferred stock dividends and related tax adjustments.

      The  unaudited   consolidated  pro  forma  results  do  not  necessarily
represent results which would have occurred if the acquisition had taken place
at the  beginning  of the period,  nor are they  indicative  of the results of
future combined operations or trends.

      Additionally,  the Company paid, during the six month period ending June
30, 2000, approximately $3,935 related to 38 orthotic and prosthetic companies
acquired in years prior to 2000.  The payments were primarily made pursuant to
earnout and working capital provisions contained in the respective acquisition
agreements. The Company has accounted for these amounts as additional purchase
price  resulting  in an increase  to excess of cost over net assets  acquired.
Additional amounts aggregating approximately $16,487 may be paid in connection
with earnout provisions contained in previous acquisition agreements.

NOTE E -INTEGRATION & RESTRUCTURING COSTS

      In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  NovaCare  O&P,  the  Company
implemented a restructuring  plan on July 1, 1999. The plan contemplated lease
termination  and  severance  costs  associated  with the  closure  of  certain
redundant  patient-care  centers and  corporate  functions  of the Company and
NovaCare O&P. The costs  associated  with the former NovaCare O&P centers were
recorded in connection with the purchase price allocation on July 1, 1999. The
costs  associated  with the existing Hanger centers were charged to operations
during the third quarter of 1999.


                                    11

<PAGE>

      The  restructuring  plan  provided  for the  closure of 54  patient-care
centers and the termination of 225 employees. Through June 30, 2000, 43 of the
patient-care  centers have been closed and 210 employees have been terminated.
Management  reasonably  expects  to have the  remaining  patient-care  centers
closed and  employees  severed by the end of 2000.  Lease  payments  on closed
patient care centers are expected to be paid through 2003.

      The components of the total restructuring  reserve through June 30, 2000
are as follows:

      Additionally,  during  the three and  six-month  periods  ended June 30,
2000, the Company recorded integration costs of $502 and $1,088, respectively,
related to the acquisition of NovaCare O&P. Integration costs include costs of
changing patient care center names,  payroll and related  benefits  conversion
costs,  stay-pay bonuses and related  benefits for transitional  employees and
certain  other costs related to the  acquisition.  These costs are expensed as
incurred.

NOTE G - LONG TERM DEBT


<PAGE>
                                    13

      On June 16, 1999, the Company issued, in a private offering, $150,000 of
Senior  Subordinated  Notes,  bearing interest of 11.25%, and maturing on June
15,  2009.  Interest  is payable on June 15 and  December  15,  commencing  on
December 15, 1999.

      In connection with the acquisition of NovaCare O&P, the Company replaced
its bank credit  facility  existing at June 30, 1999 with a new facility.  The
new bank credit facility consists of a $100,000  revolving credit facility,  a
$100,000 tranche A term facility and a $100,000  tranche B term facility.  The
revolving  credit  facility and the tranche A term facility  mature on July 1,
2005 and currently  carry an interest rate of adjusted  LIBOR plus 3.0% or ABR
plus 2.0%.  The  tranche B term  facility  will  mature on January 1, 2007 and
currently  carries an interest  rate of  adjusted  LIBOR plus 4.0% or ABR plus
3.0%. The bank credit facility is  collateralized  by substantially all of the
Company's  assets,  restricts  the payment of dividends  and contains  certain
affirmative and negative covenants customary in an agreement of this nature.

      The Company's total long term debt at June 30, 2000, including a current
portion  of  approximately   $29,591,   was   approximately   $450,753.   Such
indebtedness  included:  (i) $150,000 senior  subordinated notes; (ii) $68,400
for the revolver; (iii) $95,000 for tranche A; (iv) $99,500 for tranche B; and
(v) a total of $37,853 of other indebtedness.

NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      The Company is subject to legal  proceedings  and claims  which arise in
the  ordinary  course of its  business,  including  claims  related to alleged
contingent  additional  payments under business purchase  agreements.  Many of
these legal  proceedings and claims existed in the NovaCare O&P business prior
to the Company's  acquisition  of NovaCare O&P. In the opinion of  management,
the amount of ultimate  liability,  if any, with respect to these actions will
not have a materially adverse effect on the financial  position,  liquidity or
results of operations of the Company.

NOTE I - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standard Board issued SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities." SFAS 133, as
amended,  requires that an entity  recognize  all  derivative  instruments  as
either assets or liabilities on its balance sheet at their fair value. Changes
in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current  earnings
or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated
as part of a hedge transaction,  and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.
The  Company  will  adopt SFAS 133 by the first  quarter  of 2001.  Due to the
Company's limited use of derivative  instruments,  SFAS 133 is not expected to
have a material  effect on the financial  position or results of operations of
the Company.

</TABLE>

      THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1999
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NET SALES

      Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, were approximately $125.9
million, an increase of approximately $69.5 million, or 123.1%, over net sales
of  approximately   $56.4  million  for  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1999.
Contributing  to the increase  were (i) net sales at patient  care  facilities
acquired  subsequent to June 30, 1999,  most of which was acquired when Hanger
acquired  NovaCare O&P on July 1, 1999, and (ii) a 10.2% increase in net sales
at patient care  centers  owned and operated by Hanger and NovaCare O&P during
both quarters ("same store sales").

    GROSS PROFIT

      Gross profit in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was approximately  $65.6
million,  an increase of approximately  $36.7 million,  or 127.2%,  over gross
profit of approximately $28.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The
increase was primarily attributable to the increase in net sales. Gross profit
as a percentage of net sales  increased to 52.1% in the second quarter of 2000
from 51.2% in the second  quarter of 1999.  The  increase in the gross  profit
margin  is  primarily  a result  of the  NovaCare  O&P  acquisition  which was
entirely  patient care  services.  Patient  care  services  historically  have
experienced  higher gross profit margins than  distribution and  manufacturing
operations.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

<PAGE>

      Selling,  general and administrative  expenses in the quarter ended June
30, 2000 increased by approximately $24.8 million, or 137.3%,  compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage  of net sales  increased  to 34.0% in the  second  quarter  of 2000
compared to 32% for same period in 1999. The increase in selling,  general and
administrative  expenses,  both in dollar amount and as a percent of net sales
is primarily the result of Hanger's acquisition of NovaCare O&P.

     INTEGRATION COSTS

      During  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  2000,  the  Company   recognized
approximately  $.5  million  of  integration  costs  in  connection  with  its
acquisition  of  NovaCare  O&P.   Additional   information   relating  to  the
integration and restructuring  costs is set forth below under "Integration and
Restructuring Costs."

    INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

      Principally  as a result of the above,  income  from  operations  in the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 was  approximately  $16.5 million,  an increase of
$7.5 million, or 82.6%, over the prior year's comparable quarter.  Income from
operations  as a  percentage  of net sales  decreased  to 13.1% in the  second
quarter of 2000 from 16% for the prior year's comparable period.

    INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

      Net  interest  expense in the second  quarter of 2000 was  approximately
$11.0 million,  an increase of approximately  $10.2 million over approximately
$.8 million  incurred  in the second  quarter of 1999.  Interest  expense as a
percentage of net sales increased to 8.7% from 1.4% for the same period a year
ago. The increase in interest  expense was  primarily  attributable  to $262.9
million  borrowed  under a bank credit  facility and $150.0  million in senior
subordinated notes issued to acquire NovaCare O&P.

    INCOME TAXES

      The Company's effective tax rate was 56.3% in the second quarter of 2000
versus 40% in 1999.  The increase in the second quarter of 2000 is a result of
the  disproportionate  impact of the amortization of the excess costs over net
assets acquired in relation to taxable income,  primarily  attributable to the
acquisition  of NovaCare  O&P.  The  provision  for income taxes in the second
quarter of 2000 was approximately  $3.1 million compared to approximately $3.2
million for the second quarter of 1999.

    NET INCOME


                                    16
<PAGE>

      As  a  result  of  the  above,   the  Company  recorded  net  income  of
approximately $2.4 million,  or $.06 per dilutive common share, in the quarter
ended  June 30,  2000,  compared  to net income of $4.9  million,  or $.24 per
dilutive  common share, in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Net income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000,  excluding the integration costs, would have been
$2.7  million,  or $.08 per  dilutive  common  share  after the  effect of the
preferred stock dividend.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NET SALES

      Net sales for the six months  ended June 30,  2000,  were  approximately
$240.7 million,  an increase of approximately  $135.2 million, or 128.1%, over
net sales of  approximately  $105.6  million for the six months ended June 30,
1999.  Contributing  to the  increase  were  (i) net  sales  at  patient  care
facilities  acquired  subsequent to June 30, 1999, most of which were acquired
when Hanger acquired NovaCare O&P on July 1, 1999, and (ii) a 6.6% increase in
sales by patient  care  centers  owned and operated by Hanger and NovaCare O&P
during both quarters ("same store sales").

    GROSS PROFIT

      Gross  profit in the six months  ended June 30,  2000 was  approximately
$123.2  million,  an increase of  approximately  $70.1 million,  or 132%, over
gross profit of  approximately  $53.1  million for the quarter  ended June 30,
1999.  The increase was primarily  attributable  to the increase in net sales.
Gross  profit as a  percentage  of net sales  increased to 51.2% in the second
quarter of 2000 from 50.3% in 1999.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 increased by approximately $46.9 million, or 133.3%, compared to
the six months  ended  June 30,  1999.  Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses as a  percentage  of net sales  increased  to 34.1% in the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to 33.3% for same period in 1999. The increase in
selling,  general and administrative  expenses, both in dollar amount and as a
percent  of net sales is  primarily  the  result of  Hanger's  acquisition  of
NovaCare O&P.

     INTEGRATION COSTS

      During  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  2000,  the  Company   recognized
approximately  $1.1  million  of  integration  costs  in  connection  with its
acquisition  of  NovaCare  O&P.   Additional   information   relating  to  the
integration and restructuring  costs is set forth below under "Integration and
Restructuring Costs."


    INCOME FROM OPERATIONS


                                      17
<PAGE>

      Principally as a result of the above, income from operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 was  approximately  $28.7  million,  an increase of
$14.2 million,  or 98.2%,  over the prior year's  comparable six month period.
Income from  operations as a percentage of net sales decreased to 11.9% in the
six  month  period  ended  June 30,  2000  from  13.7%  for the  prior  year's
comparable period.

    INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

      Net  interest  expense in the six month  period  ended June 30, 2000 was
approximately $22.0 million, an increase of approximately $21 million over the
approximately  $1.1  million  incurred in the six month  period ended June 30,
1999.  Interest  expense as a percentage  of net sales  increased to 9.2% from
1.0% for the same period a year ago.  The  increase  in  interest  expense was
primarily attributable to $262.9 million borrowed under a bank credit facility
and $150.0  million in senior  subordinated  notes issued to acquire  NovaCare
O&P.

    INCOME TAXES

      The Company's effective tax rate was 67.6% in the six month period ended
June 30, 2000 versus 40% in 1999.  The  increase in the six month period ended
June 30, 2000 is a result of the  disproportionate  impact of the amortization
of the excess  costs over net assets  acquired in relation to taxable  income,
primarily  attributable  to the acquisition of NovaCare O&P. The provision for
income  taxes in the six month  period  ended June 30, 2000 was  approximately
$4.4 million compared to  approximately  $5.3 million for the six month period
ended June 30, 1999.

    NET INCOME (LOSS)

      As  a  result  of  the  above,   the  Company  recorded  net  income  of
approximately  $2.1  million,  or $(.01) loss per dilutive  common share which
reflects the accrual of the preferred stock dividend,  in the six month period
ended  June 30,  2000,  compared  to net income of $8.0  million,  or $.40 per
dilutive common share, in the six month period ended June 30, 1999. Net income
for the six months ended June 30, 2000, excluding the integration costs, would
have been $2.7 million,  or $.08 per dilutive common share after the effect of
the preferred stock dividend.




    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The  Company's  consolidated  working  capital  at June 30,  2000 was
approximately  $140.2  million and cash and cash  equivalents  available  were
approximately $3.3 million.  The Company's cash resources were satisfactory to
meet its obligations for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

      On July 1, 1999,  the Company  entered into a new credit  agreement (the
"Credit  Agreement")  with The Chase  Manhattan  Bank,  Bankers Trust Company,
Paribas and  certain  other banks (the  "Banks"),  which  consists of a $100.0
million  Revolving Credit  Facility,  a $100.0 million Tranche A Term Facility


                                    18
<PAGE>

and $100.0 million  Tranche B Term  Facility.  The Tranche A Term Facility and
the Revolving  Credit  Facility  mature on July 1, 2005 and the Tranche B Term
Facility  matures  on January 1, 2007.  The Credit  Agreement,  as  originally
entered  into,  provided  that the Tranche A Term  Facility and the  Revolving
Credit  Facility  would carry an annual  interest rate of adjusted  LIBOR plus
2.50% or ABR plus 1.50%,  and that the Tranche B Term Facility  would carry an
annual  interest  rate of  adjusted  LIBOR  plus 3.50% or ABR plus  2.50%.  In
consideration  for the  Banks'  waiver of the  Company's  non-compliance  with
certain of the covenants  under the Credit  Agreement in the fourth quarter of
1999, and a relaxation of certain of the financial covenants relating to 2000
and 2001,  an amendment to the Credit  Agreement was entered into and provides
for an  increase  in the  Tranche A Term  Facility  and the  Revolving  Credit
Facility  annual interest note to adjusted LIBOR plus 3.00% or ABR plus 2.00%,
and an  increase  in the  Tranche  B Term  Facility  annual  interest  rate to
adjusted LIBOR plus 4.00% or ABR plus 3.00%.  The Revolving Credit Facility is
available to Hanger for use in  connection  with future  acquisitions  and for
working capital and general corporate purposes.

      The Company's total long term debt at June 30, 2000, including a current
portion of approximately $29.6 million, was approximately $450.7 million. Such
indebtedness  included: (i) $150.0 of 11.25% million Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2009 (ii) $68.4 million for the  Revolving  Credit  Facility;  (iii) $95.0
million for  Tranche A Term  Facility;  (iv) $99.5  million for Tranche B Term
Facility; and (v) a total of $37.8 million of other indebtedness.

      The Credit Facility with the Banks is  collateralized  by  substantially
all the  assets of the  Company,  restricts  the  payment  of  dividends,  and
contains certain  affirmative and negative covenants customary in an agreement
of this nature.

      All or any portion of outstanding  loans under the Credit  Agreement 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  repaid  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.

      On July 1, 1999,  the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  capital
stock of NovaCare  O&P from  NovaCare,  Inc.  pursuant to the terms of a Stock
Purchase  Agreement (the "Agreement").  Under the terms of the Agreement,  the
aggregate  consideration  totaled  $445.0  million,  which  consisted  of  the
assumption  of  liabilities  and other  obligations  of $38.4  million and the
balance  in cash.  Of the cash  portion,  $15.0  million  was placed in escrow
pending the determination of any potential post closing  adjustments  relating
to working capital.  Reference is made to the discussion under "Arbitration of
Dispute  Regarding  Adjusted  Working  Capital of NovaCare O&P and  Subsequent
Litigation" below for information regarding post closing adjustments.

      Hanger  required  approximately  $430.2  million  in cash to  close  the
acquisition  of NovaCare  O&P, to pay  approximately  $20.0 million of related
fees and expenses,  including debt issue costs of approximately $16.0 million,
and to refinance existing debt of approximately  $2.5 million.  The funds were
raised by  Hanger  through  (i)  borrowing  approximately  $230.0  million  of
revolving  credit and term  loans  under the Credit  Agreement;  (ii)  selling
$150.0 million principal amount of 11.25% Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2009;


                                      19
<PAGE>

and (iii) selling $60.0 million of 7% Redeemable Preferred Stock. The new bank
credit facility  consists of a $100.0 million  revolving credit  facility,  of
which  $30.0  million  was  drawn on in  connection  with the  acquisition  of
NovaCare O&P, a Tranche A Term Facility and a Tranche B Term Facility.  The 7%
Redeemable  Preferred Stock accrues annual  dividends,  compounded  quarterly,
equal to 7%, is subject to put rights and will not require principal  payments
prior to maturity.  Such  Preferred  Stock is  convertible  into shares of the
Company's non-voting common stock at a price of $16.50 per share.

      As stated  above,  the  Company  sold  $60.0  million  of 7%  Redeemable
Preferred Stock on July 1, 1999 in connection with its acquisition of NovaCare
O&P.  The  60,000  outstanding  shares of 7%  Redeemable  Preferred  Stock are
convertible into shares of the Company's non-voting common stock at a price of
$16.50 per share,  subject to  adjustment.  The Company is entitled to require
that the 7% Redeemable  Preferred  Stock be converted into  non-voting  common
stock on and after July 2, 2002,  if the average  closing  price of the common
stock for 20 consecutive  trading days is equal to or greater than 175% of the
conversion  price.  The 7%  Redeemable  Preferred  Stock  will be  mandatorily
redeemable  on July 1, 2010 at a  redemption  price  equal to the  liquidation
preference plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.  In the event of a change in
control of the  Company,  it must offer to redeem  all of the  outstanding  7%
Redeemable  Preferred Stock at a redemption  price equal to 101% of the sum of
the per share  liquidation  preference  thereof  plus all  accrued  and unpaid
dividends through the date of payment.

      The Company  plans to finance  future  acquisitions  through  internally
generated  funds or  borrowings  under  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility,  the
issuance  of notes or shares  of Common  Stock of the  Company,  or  through a
combination thereof.

      The  Company  is  engaged  in  ongoing   discussions   with  prospective
acquisition candidates. The Company plans to continue to expand its operations
through strategic acquisitions.

    INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS

      The  Company had made an  assessment  of the  restructuring  costs to be
incurred  relative to the acquisition of NovaCare O&P. Affected by the plan of
restructuring  are  approximately  54  patient  care  centers  to  be  closed,
including  approximately 29 Hanger and 25 NovaCare O&P locations.  The Company
began  formulating,  and commenced,  a plan of  restructuring on July 1, 1999,
which  is  substantially   complete.   Since   commencement  of  the  plan  of
restructuring, the Company has transitioned patients being cared for at closed
patient care centers to other patient care centers  generally within proximity
to a closed  branch.  During 1999,  the Company  recorded  approximately  $5.6
million  in  restructuring  liabilities  for the  costs  associated  with  the
restructuring  of the NovaCare O&P  operations and allocated such costs to the
purchase  price  of  NovaCare  O&P  in  accordance  with  purchase  accounting
requirements. The Company also accrued approximately $1.3 million ($.8 million
after tax) for the costs  associated  with the  restructuring  of the existing
Hanger  operations in conjunction  with the NovaCare O&P  acquisition  and the
Company has recorded such charges in the statement of income.


                                      20
<PAGE>

      The above-referenced restructuring costs primarily include severance pay
benefits and lease termination costs. The cost of providing  severance pay and
benefits for the  reduction  of  approximately  225  employees is estimated at
approximately  $3.4 million and is primarily a cash  expense.  Total  expected
employee  terminations  include  approximately  70 acquired  corporate and 155
patient-care center employees.  Employees  terminated at patient-care  centers
include most, if not all,  employees at each patient care center to be closed.
Through  the  second  quarter  of  2000,   approximately  210  employees  were
terminated  including  approximately 66 acquired  corporate  employees and 144
patient   care  center   employees.   During  the  second   quarter  of  2000,
approximately 9 employees were terminated, all of whom were acquired corporate
employees.  Lease termination costs for patient care centers to be closed, are
estimated  at $3.5  million,  are cash  expenses  and are  expected to be paid
through  2003.  Through the six months  ended June 30,  2000,  43 patient care
centers were closed.  No  additional  branches  were closed  during the second
quarter of 2000.  Management  reasonably expects to have the remaining patient
care centers closed and employees severed by the end of 2000.

      The Company estimates that the plan of restructuring Hanger and NovaCare
O&P  operations,   when  complete,   will  generate  annual  cost  savings  of
approximately  $13.0 million  ($8.0  million  after-tax) on a full year basis,
excluding  anticipated  reductions in material  purchase costs.  The foregoing
restructuring  charges and related cost savings  represent the Company's  best
estimates,  but necessarily make numerous assumptions with respect to industry
performance,  general  business and economic  conditions,  raw  materials  and
product pricing levels,  government legislation,  the timing of implementation
of the restructuring  and related employee  reductions and patient care center
closings  and  other  matters,  many of which  are  outside  of the  Company's
control. The Company's estimate of cost savings is not necessarily  indicative
of future performance,  which may be significantly more or less favorable than
as set  forth and is  subject  to the  considerations  described  below  under
"Forward Looking Statements".

      Additionally,  in relation to the  acquisition of NovaCare O&P,  through
the  second  quarter  of  2000,  the  Company  recorded  integration  costs of
approximately  $6.1 million  including  costs of changing  patient care center
names,  payroll  and related  benefits  conversion,  stay-bonuses  and related
benefits for  transitional  employees  and certain  other costs related to the
acquisition.

ARBITRATION OF DISPUTE REGARDING  ADJUSTED WORKING CAPITAL OF NOVACARE O&P AND
SUBSEQUENT LITIGATION

      As stated above, on July 1, 1999, Hanger acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of NovaCare O&P from NovaCare,  Inc.  ("NovaCare") pursuant to a
Stock Purchase Agreement,  dated April 2, 1999 and amended on May 19, 1999 and
June 30, 1999,  by and among  NovaCare,  NC  Resources,  Inc.,  Hanger and HPO
Acquisition  Corporation (the "Agreement").  The purchase price paid by Hanger
was $445 million,  subject to  adjustment  to the extent that  NovaCare  O&P's
adjusted   working  capital  at  June  30,  1999  was  less  or  greater  than
$93,982,000.  Of the purchase price paid by Hanger,  $15 million was placed in
escrow  with U.S.  Bank Trust  National  Association  (the  "Exchange  Agent")
pending the  determination of such amount of adjusted working capital.  Hanger
and NovaCare  disagreed  regarding the determination of the amount of NovaCare
O&P adjusted  working  capital and on February  25, 2000,  Hanger and NovaCare


                                      21
<PAGE>

submitted the matter to the  independent  accounting firm of KPMG LLP ("KPMG")
in accordance with the dispute resolution arbitration mechanism provided under
the Agreement.  The Agreement  provided that such  arbitrator's  determination
would be conclusive and binding upon the parties.

      On May 22, 2000,  KPMG issued its report  concluding that NovaCare O&P's
adjusted  working capital at June 30, 1999 was  approximately  $68,878,000 and
that Hanger was entitled to the working  capital  deficiency of  approximately
$25,104,000,   representing  the  required  decrease  in  the  purchase  price
previously paid by Hanger for NovaCare O&P. On May 25, 2000, at the request of
Hanger and in view of the  conclusion in KPMG's report that the "Total Working
Capital  Deficiency shall be returned to Hanger Orthopedic  Group,  Inc.," the
Escrow Agent released the $15 million of escrowed funds to Hanger. Pursuant to
the Agreement,  Hanger was entitled to receive the  approximately  $10,104,000
balance of the working  capital  deficiency on or before June 21, 2000,  which
was 30 days after the date of the KPMG determination.

      On June 5, 2000  NovaCare  (the name of which was  recently  changed  to
NAHC,  Inc.),  filed a  Complaint  in the  Court of  Chancery  of the State of
Delaware in and for New Castle  County  against  Hanger,  its  subsidiary  HPO
Acquisition  Corp. and the Escrow Agent  alleging the wrongful  release of the
escrowed  funds and  seeking the return of such  escrowed  funds to the Escrow
Agent. On June 9, 2000, Hanger filed an answer and counterclaim requesting the
Court to dismiss the Complaint and confirm the entire KPMG award.

      On June 30,  2000,  Hanger  entered  into a  Settlement  Agreement  with
NovaCare  providing for dismissal of the  litigation and execution of a mutual
release relating to currently unknown matters arising from the acquisition. In
addition,  the Settlement Agreement provided that of the $10.1 million owed by
NovaCare to Hanger, $6 million would be paid immediately by NovaCare to Hanger
and NovaCare would execute a  collateralized  promissory note in the principal
amount of $3.7  million,  plus 7% annual  interest,  payable  monthly over the
following six months.  Actual payment of the $6 million was received by Hanger
on July 3, 2000. In connection with the settlement,  Hanger was confident that
it would have prevailed in the litigation.  However,  in view of the time that
would have been  involved  in  obtaining  a  favorable  result and  NovaCare's
inability to pay the full $10 million at the time the Settlement Agreement was
entered  into,  Hanger  determined  it would be  prudent  to enter  into  such
agreement,  under which Hanger gave  NovaCare a $400,000  discount in exchange
for the immediate payment of $6 million and the greater certainty of receiving
$3.7 million under the promissory note.

    NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standard Board issued SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities." SFAS 133, as
amended,  requires that an entity  recognize  all  derivative  instruments  as
either assets or liabilities on its balance sheet at their fair value. Changes
in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current  earnings
or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated
as part of a hedge transaction,  and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.
The  Company  will  adopt SFAS 133 by the first  quarter  of 2001.  Due to the
Company's limited use of derivative  instruments,  SFAS 133 is not expected to
have a material  effect on the financial  position or results of operations of
the Company.

    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.

      Based on the Company's  experience in 2000, its operations have not been
adversely affected to date by Year 2000 or leap year problems. The total costs
for the Company's Year 2000 program were approximately $1.3 million, which was
expended during 1999.

    FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This  report  contains  forward-looking  statements  setting  forth  the

the results of operations or recently  acquired and newly acquired O&P patient
care practices, the Company's ability to successfully integrate the operations
of  NovaCare  O&P and to  attract  and  retain  qualified  O&P  practitioners,
governmental   policies   affecting  O&P   operations   and  other  risks  and
uncertainties  affecting  the  health-care  industry  generally.  Readers  are
cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company
disclaims any intent or obligation to up-date  publicly these  forward-looking
