NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the results of its
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and
changes in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Certain
information normally included in the financial statements and related notes
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's December 31, 1996 annual report on Form 10-K.
NOTE 2 - NET CAPITAL AND RESERVE REQUIREMENTS.
Hoenig & Co., Inc. ("Hoenig"), the Company's principal operating
subsidiary, is subject to the SEC Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 which requires that
Hoenig maintain net capital of the greater of $100,000 or one-fifteenth of
aggregate indebtedness. As of June 30, 1997, Hoenig's net capital ratio was
.78 to 1 and its net capital was approximately $9,586,000, which was $9,085,000
in excess of regulatory requirements. Hoenig's Tokyo office (a branch of
Hoenig) capital requirement was (Y)77,000,000 ($672,000). Hoenig & Company
Limited ("Limited"), the Company's United Kingdom brokerage subsidiary, is
required to maintain financial resources of at least 110% of its capital
requirement. Limited's financial resources requirement as of June 30, 1997 was
approximately (British pounds) 375,000 ($624,000); it had excess financial
resources at such date of approximately (British pounds) 841,000 ($1,400,000).
Hoenig (Far East) Limited ("Far East"), the Company's Hong Kong brokerage
subsidiary, is required to maintain liquid capital of the greater of
HK$3,000,000 ($387,000) or 5% of the average quarterly total liabilities.
Far East's required liquid capital as of June 30, 1997 was approximately
HK$13,340,000 ($1,722,000), and it had excess liquid capital of approximately
HK$16,204,000 ($2,092,000).
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY.
During the fourth quarter 1992, the Company's Board of Directors
approved a stock repurchase program which would enable the Company to
repurchase up to one million shares of its Common Stock from time to time. In
November 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized management to
repurchase, from time to time, an additional one million shares of Common Stock
in open market and private transactions.
From January 1, 1997 through August 8, 1997, the Company repurchased
268,172 shares of Common Stock. As of August 8, 1997 the Company has
repurchased 1,165,712 under these repurchase programs. The Company purchased
an additional 650,000 shares in December 1995, pursuant to a contract with the
Estate of Ronald H. Hoenig. The total cost of these purchases (net of 334,667
shares issued out of Treasury Stock) is $5,426,133.
NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128
simplifies the standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
("EPS") previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 128 to have a material
impact on its earnings per share computation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
GENERAL
Hoenig Group Inc. (the "Company") provides global securities brokerage
to institutional clients through its wholly-owned brokerage subsidiaries in the
United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Axe-Houghton Associates, Inc. ("Axe-Houghton"), provides
professional investment management to public and corporate employee benefit
plans, investment partnerships and other institutional clients.
The Company's principal source of revenues is commissions earned for
executing trades on behalf of its customers. The Company executes trades in
equity securities on all of the world's major stock exchanges, acting as agent
for its customers, and in certain instances as principal, and also executes
trades in U.S. fixed income securities on an agency and riskless principal
basis. The Company earns commissions in connection with four principal types of
brokerage services: commissions received in exchange for providing independent
research and brokerage ("Independent Research Arrangements"), commissions
received in exchange for paying expenses of, or commission refunds to, directed
brokerage customers ("Directed Brokerage"), commissions received in exchange
for providing the Company's proprietary research; and commissions received for
execution-only services ("Execution - Only Brokerage").
The Company believes that the business of providing Independent
Research and Directed Brokerage Arrangements is relatively mature in the United
States and the United Kingdom, but expects it to grow at a faster rate in
foreign markets, particularly in the Far East. Ratios relating to Independent
Research and Directed Brokerage Arrangements (the ratio of commissions received
by the Company to the cost of research and other services provided or
commission refunds paid) generally have decreased during the past several years
as a result of competition, but they are higher in certain international
markets, particularly in the Far East. The Company is able to maintain profit
margins on commissions earned in Far East markets that are comparable to the
profit margin on U.S. commissions, notwithstanding higher clearing and
execution costs in certain Far East markets. The Company's profit margin on
Execution-Only Brokerage is higher than that on Independent Research and
Directed Brokerage Arrangements because the Company does not incur direct
expenses for research and other services in connection with Execution-Only
Brokerage.
The Company's second largest source of revenues is investment
management fees earned by Axe- Houghton in connection with the provision of
asset management services to institutional clients. The profit margin on the
Company's asset management business is higher than those on the Company's
brokerage activities and also varies with the types of asset management
services provided by the Company. In February 1997, approximately $1.1 billion
of assets managed under a temporary assignment were withdrawn from Axe-Houghton,
resulting in $3.77 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 1997. As
of June 30, 1997, Axe-Houghton manages approximately $449.7 million on a
temporary basis.
With respect to its asset management and brokerage businesses, the
Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to increase distribution
capabilities, expand its client base and supplement its product line through
acquisitions and the hiring of additional personnel.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.
The Company's operating income before income taxes for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 was $950,968, versus $651,345 in 1996. The increase
in operating income is primarily attributed to an 18.9% increase in commission
revenues and a 10.1% increase in investment management fee revenue.
Operating revenues increased 18.0% to $19.6 million for three months
ended June 30, 1997 from $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996. Commission revenues increased 18.9% to $18.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 from $15.2 million for the same period in 1996. This
increase resulted primarily from an increase in commission revenues in U.S.
equity markets and certain Far East markets. Commission revenues derived from
international operations represented 35.1% of the Company's total commissions
during the second quarter 1997 as compared to 35.0% for the same period in
1996.
Investment management fees increased 10.1% to $1.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, from $1.4 million in 1996 based on assets
under management of $3.77 billion as of June 30, 1997, as compared with $4.0
billion as of June 30, 1996. This increase in management fees reflects an
increase in those assets which are managed for a higher average fee, which more
than offset the overall decrease in assets.
Research and other services provided to the Company's brokerage
clients during the second quarter 1997 increased 24.3% to $8.4 million from
$6.8 million for the same period in 1996. These expenses were 46.5% of
commission revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared with 44.5%
for the corresponding period in 1996.
Clearing, execution, exchange charges and related expenses remained at
$2.7 million in both 1997 and 1996. These expenses represented 15.0% of
commissions in 1997 and 17.8% of commissions in 1996. The decrease in these
expenses as a percentage of commissions is primarily due to an increase in the
percentage of commissions generated in the U.S. equity markets, where such
expenses are charged at lower rates than comparable trades in certain
international markets, and to a reduction in execution costs related to
commissions generated in the Hong Kong market. The Company has reduced the
costs of executing transactions on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong as a result
of Hoenig (Far East) Limited becoming a self- clearing member of The Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong in the fourth quarter 1996.
Employee compensation increased 21.7% to $5.0 million in 1997 from
$4.1 million in 1996. This resulted primarily from an increase in the
compensation of existing personnel, as well as the hiring of new employees
during the first six months of 1997.
All other expenses increased 6.3% to $2.6 million in the second
quarter 1997, compared to $2.4 million in 1996. This resulted primarily from an
increase in depreciation, amortization and office related expenses during the
quarter ended June 30, 1997.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.
The Company's operating income before income taxes for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 increased 20.1% to $2,021,022, versus $1,683,362 in 1996.
The increase in operating income is primarily attributed to a 15.1% increase
in commission revenues and a 19.4% increase in investment management fee
revenue.

<PAGE>
Operating revenues increased 15.8% to $37.6 million for six months
ended June 30, 1997 from $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Commission revenues increased 15.1% to $34.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 from $29.8 million for the same period in 1996. This increase
resulted primarily from an increase in commission revenues in U.S. equity
markets and Far East markets. Commission revenues derived from international
operations represented 34.9% of the Company's total commissions during the six
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to 35.3% for the same period in 1996.
Investment management fees increased 19.4% to $3.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, from $2.5 million in 1996 based on assets under
management of $3.77 billion as of June 30, 1997, as compared with $4.0 billion
as of June 30, 1996. This increase in management fees reflects an increase in
those assets which are managed for a higher average fee, which more than offset
the overall decrease in assets.
Research and other services provided to the Company's brokerage
clients during the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 18.3% to $15.7
million from $13.3 million for the same period in 1996. These expenses were
45.8% of commission revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
with 44.6% for the corresponding period in 1996.
Clearing, execution, exchange charges and related expenses increased
3.9% to $5.4 million in 1997 from $5.2 million in 1996. These expenses
represented 15.8% of commissions in 1997 and 17.5% of commissions in 1996. The
decrease in these expenses as a percentage of commissions is primarily due to
an increase in the percentage of commissions generated in the U.S. equity
markets, where such expenses are charged at lower rates than comparable trades
in certain international markets, and to a reduction in execution costs related
to commissions generated in the Hong Kong market. The Company has reduced the
costs of executing transactions on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong as a result
of Hoenig (Far East) Limited becoming a self-clearing member of The Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong in the fourth quarter 1996.
Employee compensation increased 19.8% to $9.6 million in 1997 from
$8.0 million in 1996. This resulted primarily from an increase in reserves
for discretionary and performance-based compensation and in compensation of
existing personnel, as well as the hiring of new employees during the
six months ended June 30, 1997.
All other expenses increased 12.9% to $4.8 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $4.3 million in 1996. This resulted
primarily from an increase in depreciation, amortization and office related
expenses during the six months ended June 30, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1997, the Company had cash, U.S. Government obligations,
net accounts receivable and other securities of $43.4 million. All receivables
from correspondent brokers and dealers are fully collectible and no provision
for uncollectibles is required.
The Company believes that its cash resources and liquidity plus
additional funds generated by operations will be sufficient to meet current and
future needs. The Company is currently exploring opportunities to expand
existing businesses and/or to acquire new businesses, which could potentially
have an impact on liquidity and capital resources.
