                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED
                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of  Hub Group, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations.  However, the
Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.

          The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all
material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2.  CAPITAL STRUCTURE

          On March 8, 1995, the Company was incorporated and issued 100 shares
to the sole incorporator.  On March 18, 1996, the Company purchased Hub City
Terminals, Inc. ("Hub Chicago") in a stock-for-stock acquisition through
issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock and 662,296
shares of the Company's Class B common stock.  Hub Chicago has been accounted
for similar to the pooling of interests method of accounting and has been
included in all periods presented on a historical cost basis.

          Concurrent with the acquisition of Hub Chicago in March 1996, the
Company completed the initial public offering of 4,261,250 shares of its Class A
common stock, with net proceeds to the Company of $53.0 million. Coincident with
the initial public offering, a selling stockholder sold 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's Class A common stock through a secondary offering. The Company did not
receive any net proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholder.

          Concurrent with the initial public offering, the Company, through its
new wholly owned subsidiary, Hub Chicago, acquired with cash the general
partnership interests in 26 operating partnerships.  In addition, the Company
directly acquired with cash a controlling interest in the Hub Group Distribution
Services partnership (together with the 26 operating partnerships collectively
referred to as "Hub Partnerships").  The combined financial statements of Hub
Partnerships, the predecessor to the business of the Company, are included
herein.  Further reference is made to the Company's Registration Statement filed
on Form S-1 for the historical financial statements of Hub Chicago and Hub
Partnerships.  See Note 3. "Business Combinations" for further discussion of
these acquisitions.

NOTE 3.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

          On March 18, 1996, the Company acquired the general partnership
interests in 26 operating partnerships and a controlling interest in the Hub
Group Distribution Services partnership for a total purchase price of
approximately $43,309,000.  The purchase price of these acquisitions was
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value
at the date of acquisition using the purchase method of accounting.

          The portion of the difference between fair value and historical cost
of individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed attributable to
partnership interests acquired by the Company from non-control group
stockholders was recorded at fair market value.  This resulted in goodwill of
approximately $17,449,000 and an increase in property and equipment of
approximately $96,000.  The remaining portion 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
of the difference between fair value and historical cost attributable to
partnership interests acquired from control group stockholders, approximately
$25,764,000, has been charged to equity as purchase price in excess of
predecessor basis. The allocations presented represent preliminary purchase
price allocations. Goodwill, the cost of purchased businesses in excess of the
market value of net tangible and identifiable assets acquired, is being
amortized over 40 years on a straight-line basis. On an ongoing basis, the
Company will measure realizability by the ability of the Hub Partnerships to
generate current and expected future operating income in excess of annual
amortization of goodwill.

          In connection with the purchase of the partnership interests in each
of the Hub Partnerships, approximately $10,306,000 has been recorded as a
deferred tax benefit (utilizing an assumed effective tax rate of 40%),
representing the tax effect of the difference between goodwill for income tax
purposes of approximately $43,213,000 and goodwill for financial reporting
purposes of approximately $17,449,000.  The corresponding credit is recorded as
an increase in equity in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

          The following summarizes the effects of businesses acquired and
accounted for as purchases in 1996 as if they had been acquired as of January 1,
1995:

NOTE 5.  INCOME TAXES

          The Company records income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which
requires the Company to compute deferred taxes based upon the amount of taxes
payable in future years, after considering known changes in tax rates and other
statutory provisions that will be in effect in those years.  Prior to March 18,
1996, the Company was a non-taxable Subchapter S corporation.  The pro forma
provision for additional income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and 1996 assumes that the Company operated as a taxable corporation since
January 1, 1995.

NOTE 7.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

     Concurrent with the initial public offering the Company adopted a Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). Under the Incentive Plan, stock options,
and stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance units may be
granted for the purpose of attracting and motivating key employees and non-
employee directors of the Company. Concurrent with the adoption of the Incentive
Plan the Company granted 326,500 options to key employees and 36,000 options to
non-employee directors. All options granted have an exercise price of $14.00 per
share, the initial public offering price. The options granted to key employees
vest ratably over a five-year period and expire 10 years after the date they
were granted. The options granted to the non-employee directors vest ratably 
over a three-year period and expire 10 years after the date of grant.

    In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement #123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The Company is required to adopt this standard no later than
December 31, 1996. This Statement encourages companies to recognize expense for
stock options at an estimated fair value based on an option pricing model. If
expense is not recognized for stock options, pro forma footnote disclosure is
required of what net income and earnings per share would have been under the
Statement's approach to valuing and expensing stock options. Certain other new
disclosures will be required. The Company will implement the provisions of this
Statement in 1996, but has decided that it will not recognize the expense
related to stock options in the financial statements. The impact of this new
Statement has not yet been completely evaluated.

                                HUB GROUP, INC.

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

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

          On March 18, 1996, Hub Group, Inc. (the "Company") acquired the
general partnership interests in 26 operating partnerships and a controlling
interest in the Hub Group Distribution Services partnership (collectively
referred to as "Hub Partnerships") for a total purchase price of approximately
$43,309,000.  The purchase price of these acquisitions was allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value on the date of
acquisition using the purchase method of accounting.  Prior to the acquisitions,
the Company's business was comprised of the operations of its wholly owned
subsidiary, Hub City Terminals, Inc. ("Hub Chicago").

          The acquired businesses' revenues are approximately nine times that of
Hub Chicago.  As a result, consolidated revenues and operating expenses will
increase dramatically in future quarters.  Additionally, purchased
transportation costs and operating costs as a percent to revenue may differ from
historical trends for Hub Chicago.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

          Revenues totaled $48.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31,
1996, representing a 157.7% increase over the comparable period in 1995.
Without the acquisition, company revenues totaled $20.2 million for the first
quarter of 1996 representing a 6.5% increase over the comparable period in 1995.
This increase resulted principally from revenues generated from sales to the Hub
Partnerships.

PURCHASED TRANSPORTATION

          Purchased transportation decreased in the first quarter of 1996 to
89.0% of revenues from 91.7% of revenues in the comparable period in 1995.
Without the acquisition, purchased transportation decreased slightly to 91.6% of
revenues in the period compared to 91.7% of revenues in the comparable period in
1995.  Management has been successful in controlling purchased transportation
costs in a somewhat erratic transportation market exacerbated by economic
uncertainty and rising fuel costs.  Continued fuel price increases could
adversely impact the Company's ability to maintain purchased transportation
costs at current levels.

NET REVENUES

          Net revenues increased to 11.0% of revenues in the first quarter of
1996 from 8.3% of revenues in the comparable period in 1995.  Without the
acquisition, net revenues increased slightly to 8.4% of revenues in the period
compared to 8.3% of revenues in the first quarter of 1995.

SALARIES AND BENEFITS

          Salaries and benefits increased to $2.6 million or 5.3% of revenues in
the first quarter of 1996 compared to $.6 million or 3.4% of revenues in the
comparable period in 1995.  Without the acquisition, salaries and benefits
increased to $.7 million or 3.6% of revenues compared to $.6 million or 3.4% of
revenues in the comparable period in 1995.  This increase was a result of
additional staffing to implement 

                                      12

the Company's strategy to grow its truckload brokerage operations and additional
sales personnel to expand the local revenue base.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

          Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1.0 million
or 2.1% of revenues in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $.3 million or 1.6%
of revenues in the comparable period in 1995.  Without the acquisition, selling,
general and administrative costs for the period totaled $.2 million or 1.2% of
revenues compared to $.3 million or 1.6% of revenues in the comparable period in
1995.  This decrease was the result of a reduction in the bad debt reserve of
$80,000.

OPERATING INCOME

          Operating income increased to $1.8 million or 3.6% of revenues in the
first quarter of 1996 compared to $.6 million or 3.2% of revenues in the
comparable period in 1995.  Without the acquisition, operating income increased
to $.7 million or 3.6% of revenues for the period compared to $.6 million or
3.2% of revenues in the comparable period in 1995.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

          All of the interest expense incurred in the first quarter of 1996 was
incurred subsequent to March 17, 1996 and relates primarily to balloon notes
assumed in the acquisition (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").  Interest
expense will increase significantly in the second quarter of 1996 as the balloon
notes will be outstanding for the entire quarter.  Additionally, the Company
will be recognizing interest expense on notes issued in conjunction with an
acquisition which closed in May, 1996 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").
The Company incurred no interest expense in the first quarter of 1995.

          Interest income will increase significantly in the second quarter of
1996 from the investment of the portion of the net proceeds from the initial
public offering retained by the Company.  Additional interest income will be
generated by the Hub Partnerships, as they will be included for the full
quarter.  Reported interest income was approximately $30,000 for both of the
quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1996.

MINORITY INTEREST

          Minority interest was $.7 million or 1.4% of revenues in the first
quarter of 1996.  Without the acquisition, the company had no minority interest
for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995.

INCOME TAXES

          Income taxes were $.2 million or .4% of revenues in the first quarter
of 1996. The Company had no provision for income taxes prior to March 18, 1996,
as the Company was a non-taxable subchapter S corporation.

NET INCOME

          Net income increased to $.9 million in the first quarter of 1996
compared to $.6 million in the comparable period in 1995, but decreased to 1.8%
of revenues in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the first quarter of 1995.
Without the acquisition, net income increased to $.7 million or 3.6% of revenues
in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $.6 million or 3.4% of revenues in the
comparable period of 1995.

                                      13

PRO FORMA PROVISION FOR ADDITIONAL INCOME TAXES

          Additional pro forma income taxes of $.2 million in the first quarter
of 1996 and $.3 million in the first quarter of 1995 were recorded to provide an
assumed effective federal and state income tax provision at a rate of 40% of
income before taxes for the periods prior to March 18, 1996 and March 31, 1995
respectively.

PRO FORMA NET INCOME

          Pro forma net income increased to $.6 million in the first quarter of
1996 compared to $.4 million in the comparable period in 1995, but decreased to
1.3% of revenues in the first quarter of 1996 compared to 2.0% of revenues in
the first quarter of 1995.

PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE

          Pro forma earnings per share increased to $.29 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 compared to $.23 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  Without
the acquisition, pro forma earnings per share increased to $.26 in the first
quarter of 1996 compared to $.23 in the comparable period in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          During the first quarter of 1996, the Company had two significant
transactions that affected liquidity.  The two transactions were the initial
public offering of the Company's common stock and the subsequent acquisition of
the Hub Partnerships.  These two items represented a cash inflow and outflow of
$53.0 million and $35.5 million, respectively.  Related to the acquisition, the
Company assumed long-term debt of $14.9 million, the majority of which is
comprised of 5-year balloon notes due in March of 2001, bearing interest at an
annual rate of 5.45%.  Additionally, the acquisition resulted in the recognition
of a $10.3 million deferred tax asset which will offset cash payments for taxes
ratably over the next 15 years.  The $17.4 million of goodwill acquired will
result in an annual tax deductible expense to be recognized ratably over the
next 15 years.  For book purposes goodwill is being amortized over 40 years.

          Immediately prior to the initial public offering and acquisition, Hub
Chicago issued 5-year balloon notes, due in March 2001, to its shareholders for
approximately $663,000, bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.45%. In May of
1996, the Company closed on its acquisition of the domestic intermodal marketing
business of American President Lines-Domestic Distribution Services. The Company
paid $2.0 million at closing and issued a note for $6.0 million, bearing
interest at an annual rate of 6.0%, which is due annually on any unpaid
balances. The note will be paid with three equal annual installments beginning
on May 1, 1997.

          The Company maintains a bank line of credit totaling $5.0 million
which bears interest at the prime rate less 1/2%. As of March 31, 1996 the
unused and available portion of this credit line was $4.6 million. Although
there can be no assurances, management believes it can obtain a significant
additional line of credit, if necessary.

          The Company does not require substantial capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures are principally used to enhance or expand the Company's
computer system and network capabilities.  Reported consolidated capital
expenditures will be significantly higher in the future due to the acquisition
of the Hub Partnerships in March, 1996.

          The Company believes that existing cash, cash provided by operations
and cash available under lines of credit will be sufficient to meet the
Company's short-term working capital and capital expenditure needs. The company
also believes that the aforementioned items are sufficient to meet its long-term
working capital, capital expenditure and debt repayment needs through the year
2001.

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


BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

          On March 18, 1996, Hub Group, Inc. acquired the general partnership
interest in 26 operating partnerships and a controlling interest in the Hub
Group Distribution Services partnership (collectively referred to as "Hub
Partnerships"). The unaudited condensed combined financial statements of Hub
Partnerships are presented herein to reflect the financial condition and results
of operations of the Hub Partnerships as of and for the periods in which the Hub
Partnerships were the predecessor to the business acquired by Hub Group, Inc. on
March 18, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

          Revenues totaled $146.4 million for the period January 1, 1996 through
March 17, 1996, representing a 6.0% decrease from the quarter ended March 31,
1995. Although truckload brokerage and logistics revenues increased
significantly to approximately $24.7 million, total revenues decreased due to
the shortened period in 1996 compared to the first quarter in 1995.

PURCHASED TRANSPORTATION

          Purchased transportation decreased in the period ended March 17, 1996
to 87.7% of revenues from 88.2% of revenues in the first quarter of 1995. The
decrease is attributable to the Company's volume leverage with vendors,
efficient utilization of available leased equipment and management's continued
focus on controlling purchased transportation costs.

NET REVENUES

          Net revenues increased to 12.3% of revenues in the period ended March
17, 1996 from 11.8% of revenues in the first quarter of 1995.

SALARIES AND BENEFITS

          Salaries and benefits increased to $9.8 million or 6.7% of revenues in
the period ended March 17, 1996 compared to $9.3 million or 6.0% of revenues in
the first quarter in 1995. The majority of the increase resulted from the
Company's decision to invest in additional staffing to handle new brokerage and
logistics business, expansion of local and national sales forces and additional
financial and administrative functions needed to continue the Company's growth.
Management feels that the increased staffing provides the foundation to handle
future revenue growth at reduced incremental staffing levels.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

          Selling, general and administrative costs decreased to $3.9 million in
the period ended March 17, 1996 compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter of
1995. The decrease in expenditures is directly attributable to the shortened
period in 1996.

OPERATING INCOME

          Operating income decreased to $4.2 million or 2.9% of revenues in the
period ended March 17, 1996 compared to $4.9 million or 3.1% of revenues in the
first quarter of 1995.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME

          Interest and other income remained constant at $.2 million and .1% of
revenues in the period ended March 17, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 1995.

INCOME TAXES

          Provision for income taxes remained constant at $.1 million or .1% of
revenues for the period ended March 17, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 1995. Provision for income taxes represents the provision for state
and local income taxes that are assessed directly to the Hub Partnerships.

NET INCOME

          Net income decreased to $4.3 million or 2.9% of revenues in the period
ended March 17, 1996 compared to $5.0 million or 3.2% of revenues in the first
quarter of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          The Hub Partnerships, prior to being acquired on March 18, 1996, 
distributed substantially all of its equity to its shareholders. This 
distribution was made through use of existing cash and through issuance of 
five-year balloon notes, bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.45%.

          Since the Hub Partnerships sold all of its liabilities and
substantially all of its assets, it no longer has any cash requirements related
to working capital needs or debt maturities.
