                         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 25, 1996



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS

A)      Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  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 normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation, have
been included.

Operating  results  for the  period  ended  May  25,  1996  are not  necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending  February 28,
1997.  For  further  information,  refer  to  the  consolidated  statements  and
footnotes  thereto in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended February 29, 1996.



B)      Income (Loss) per Share

Net income  per share includes the effect of  common stock equivalents comprised
of  incentive stock options  granted under  the Company's qualified stock option
plan and non-qualified  stock options. Net loss per share excludes the effect of
common stock equivalents.



C)      Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes,  on domestic  operations,  for periods ended May
25, 1996 and May 27, 1995 were calculated at an effective  annual tax rate of 9%
reflecting the  utilization of available net operating  loss  carryforwards  and
also taking into account the  "Alternative  Minimum  Tax".  Provision for income
taxes on foreign operations were estimated at 25%.



NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

Effective March 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes".  Under Statement 109, the asset and liability  method is used
in  accounting  for income  taxes.  Under this  method,  deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences  between financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates
and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

                      THE LANGER BIOMECHANICS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As  permitted  by  Statement  109,  the  Company  has elected not to restate the
financial  statements of any prior years. The effect of the change on the pretax
income from  continuing  operations  for the three months ended May 25, 1996, as
well as the cumulative effect of the change, is not material.

The  balance  sheet  effect  of  the  implementation  of  Statement  109  is the
recognition  of a  net  current  deferred  tax  asset  of  $403,921  and  a  net
non-current  deferred tax asset of $1,170,674.  Valuation allowances of $403,921
and  $1,170,674,  respectively,  reduce the  deferred tax assets to amounts that
represent  management's  best estimate of the amount of such deferred tax assets
which more likely than not will be realized.

The following is a summary of deferred tax assets and liabilities: 

                                                        Amount
                                                        ------
Current: 
Deferred tax asset                                  $  403,921
Deferred tax liability                                       0
                                                    ----------
Current Deferred Tax Asset, Net                        403,921

Non-current:                                        
Deferred tax asset                                   1,203,968
Deferred tax liability                                  33,294
                                                    ----------
Non-Current Deferred Tax Asset, Net                  1,170,674
                                                    ----------
Total Deferred Tax Assets, Net                       1,574,595
                                                      
Valuation Allowance                                 (1,574,595)
                                                    ----------
Net                                                 $        0
                                                    ==========


The current  deferred  tax asset is  primarily  composed  of  deferred  revenue,
accrued vacation pay,  reserves for customer volume rebates and foreign exchange
allowances.  The non-current deferred tax asset is primarily composed of Federal
net operating  loss  carryforwards.  The  non-current  deferred tax liability is
primarily composed of depreciation.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

The Company did not take a physical  inventory as of May 25,  1996.  Inventories
and cost of sales for the interim  period were based on the Company's  perpetual
inventory records.


                                          May 25, 1996         February 29, 1996

NOTE 4 - SEASONALITY

Revenues  derived from the  Company's  sale of orthotic  devices,  a substantial
portion of the Company's operations, have historically been significantly higher
in the warmer months of the year.



<PAGE>



         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     OF OPERATIONS
                                     -------------


Three  months  ended May 25, 1996 as compared  with three  months  ended May 27,
1995.

REVENUES
- --------

Sales of  $2,512,567  for the first  quarter  ended May 25, 1996 were $68,970 or
2.8% ahead of prior-year's sales of $2,443,597.  Sales of the Company's orthotic
products  increased,  however  partially  offsetting the increase were lower PPT
sales due primarily to increased pressure from a competitive product.

GROSS PROFIT
- ------------

Gross  profit for the  current-year's  first  quarter was  $1,041,267  (41.4% of
sales),  as compared to the prior-year's  first quarter gross profit of $966,991
(39.6% of sales).  The increase  was mainly due to the cost savings  achieved by
closing  the  Company's  manufacturing  facility  in New  Jersey  and moving the
Illinois branch office to smaller facilities.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------

For the three  months ended May 25, 1996,  selling,  general and  administrative
expenses  increased  $43,725  or  4.4%  to  $1,029,641,  from  the  prior-year's
comparable  quarter of  $985,916.  Increased  expenses  were due to increases in
salaries,  commissions  and other direct selling  expenses  associated  with the
launch of a new product and higher unit sales in fiscal 1996.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
- --------------------------------

The Company  incurred no research  and  development  costs for the three  months
ended May 25,  1996 as a result of the  Company's  decision to  discontinue  the
in-house   CAD-CAM  project  since  the  project  was  not  able  to  produce  a
satisfactory  and economic  product.  As such, all related costs associated with
the  project  were  written  off  during  fiscal  1996.  In-house  research  and
development costs are included under "Selling Expenses".

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
- ------------------------

Other income consists  primarily of income generated from  investments,  service
charge income  generated from the Company's  accounts  receivable,  seminar fees
obtained from classes given by the Company's U.K. subsidary and consulting fees.
Net other income was $15,731 for the first quarter of the current fiscal year as
compared with $22,194 in the  comparable  prior-year's  quarter,  representing a
29.1%  decrease.  Most of the  decrease  was due to lack of  seminar  income and
increased interest expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
- --------------------------

Tax  expenses  for both  periods  reflect the use of the  "Minimum  Alternative"
method.

NET INCOME
- ----------

The Company earned $23,938 or $.01 per share for the recently-concluded  quarter
as  compared  to a net  loss of  $40,615  or $.02  per  share  generated  in the
prior-year's  first  quarter.  The  favorable  results  were  primarily  due  to
increased  sales,  the closing of the  Company's  manufacturing  facility in New
Jersey and moving the Illinois branch office to smaller facilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Working  capital,  as of May 25,  1996,  was  $1,650,290  versus  $1,576,116  at
February  29,  1996,  an increase of $74,174.  While cash,  inventory  and other
assets decreased  $39,223,  $64,355 and $27,403,  respectively,  receivables and
current liabilities increased $284,711 and $79,556, respectively.

Cash  balances at May 25, 1996 of $700,237  were $39,223  below the February 29,
1996 balance of $739,460.  The Company's accounts receivable increased $287,117.
Offsetting this cash outflow were net income of $23,938,  decreases in inventory
and  other  assets  of  $62,109  and  $26,820,   respectively,  an  increase  in
liabilities of $91,945 and depreciation and amortization of $42,314.

The Company  believes its capital  position is adequate to meet anticipated cash
needs for the next twelve months and beyond.
