                         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.  Business Combinations

     On March 18, 1996, the Company acquired a controlling interest in each of
27 operating partnerships (collectively referred to as "Hub Partnerships") for a
total purchase price of approximately $43,309,000 in cash. 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 interests
acquired by the Company from non-control group stockholders was recorded at fair
market value. This resulted in goodwill of approximately $17,207,000. The
remaining portion of the difference between fair value and historical cost
attributable to interests acquired from control group stockholders,
approximately $25,764,000, has been charged to equity as purchase price in
excess of predecessor basis.

     In connection with the purchase of the controlling interest in 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 purchase price in excess of predecessor basis, with the
corresponding credit recorded as an increase to equity.

     On May 2, 1996, the Company purchased the rights to service the customers
of American President Lines Domestic Distribution Services, a division of APL
Land Transport Services, Inc., for approximately $8,000,000. The $8,000,000 was
financed with $2,000,000 in cash and $6,000,000 in notes. The notes bear
interest at an annual rate of 6% with three equal annual principal payments due
beginning May 2, 1997. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of
accounting resulting in goodwill of approximately $8,090,000.

     Results of operations from acquisitions recorded under the purchase method
of accounting are included in the Company's financial statements from their
respective dates of acquisition.

NOTE 5. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128 - Earnings per Share. This statement's objective is to simplify the
computation of earnings per share (EPS) to make the U.S. standard for computing
EPS more compatible with the EPS standards of other countries and with that of
the International Accounting Standards Committee. This statement is effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted.

     The Company does not expect the future adoption of this standard to have a
material impact, if any, on its financial statements.

                                HUB GROUP, INC.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1996

Revenue

     Revenue totaled $268.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
representing an increase of 28.2% over the comparable period in 1996. Logistics
revenue increased 56.9% to $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997, from $13.7 in the comparable period in 1996. Hub Group, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (the "Company") defines its logistics revenue as the revenue
generated by Hub Group Logistics, a division of Hub Group, Inc., and Hub Group
Distribution Services, a 65% owned subsidiary of Hub Group, Inc. Together, these
two entities offer third-party and specialized logistic services. Brokerage
revenue, not including any brokerage activity conducted as part of logistics,
increased 51.7% to $32.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, from
$21.1 million in the comparable period in 1996. Intermodal revenue, not
including any intermodal activity conducted as part of logistics, increased
23.0% to $214.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, from $174.5
million in the comparable period in 1996. Excluding the intermodal revenue
relating to American President Lines Domestic Distribution Services (APLDDS),
intermodal revenue increased 17.6% in the three months ended June 30, 1997, over
the comparable period in 1996.

Net Revenue

     Net revenue as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 12.1% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 12.0% in the same period in 1996.

Salaries and Benefits

     Salaries and benefits increased to $16.0 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1997, from $12.5 million in the same period in 1996. Salaries and
benefits as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 6.0% of revenue when
comparing the three months ended June 30, 1997, to the comparable period in
1996.

Selling, General and Administrative

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $7.0 million in
the three months ended June 30, 1997, from $5.0 million in the same period in
1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
increased to 2.6% in the three months ended June 30, 1997, from 2.4% in the same
period in 1996. The increase in the percentage is principally attributed to
increased spending for technology, to enhance existing programs, conduct studies
for new uses of technology and launch a new web site.

Depreciation and Amortization

          Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $1.0 million in the
three months ended June 30 1997, from $0.8 million in the comparable period in
1996.  Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue remained
constant at 0.4% in the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same
period in 1996.

Other Income (Expense)

     Other expense increased to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997, from $0.1 million in the comparable period in 1996. The increase is
primarily attributed to an increase in interest expense due to the purchase of
the remaining 70% interest in Hub City North Central, L.P. in exchange for a
note for approximately $15.0 million in December 1996.

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
Minority Interest

     Minority interest increased to $4.5 million in the three months ended June
30, 1997, from $4.0 million in the comparable period in 1996. Minority interest
as a percentage of income before minority interest decreased to 54.9% in the
three months ended June 30, 1997, from 59.1% in the same period in 1996.
Acquisitions of the remaining 70% minority interest in Hub City Tennessee, L.P.
and Hub City North Central, L.P. in August and December, 1996, respectively, and
the purchase of an additional 44% interest in Hub Group Distribution Services in
March, 1997, had the effect of lowering minority interest as a percentage of
income before minority interest when comparing the three months ended June 30,
1996, to the three months ended June 30, 1997.

Income Taxes

     Income taxes were $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997 and
$1.1 million in the same period in 1996. The Company is providing for income
taxes at an effective rate of 40% for all income subsequent to March 17, 1996.

Net Income

     Net income increased to $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30,
1997, from $1.7 million in the same period in 1996.

Earnings Per Share

      Earnings per share increased to $0.37 in the three months ended June 30,
1997, from $0.28 in the same period in 1996.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

Revenue

     Revenue totaled $519.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
representing an increase of 101.3% over the comparable period in 1996. Revenue
increased 17.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, over pro forma revenue
for the comparable period in 1996. The 1996 pro forma revenue was impacted
significantly by the addition of the revenue reported by American President
Lines Domestic Distribution Services (APLDDS), a division of APL Land Transport
Services, Inc. The business acquired from APLDDS on May 2, 1996, had been
experiencing significant decline during 1995 and the first quarter of 1996. This
decline had a negative influence on the pro forma revenue growth rate. Despite
the declining trend, management believes the Company has successfully
transitioned and retained greater than 90% of the APLDDS business that existed
on May 2, 1996.

     Excluding the revenue relating to APLDDS prior to the acquisition on May 2,
1996, Hub City Terminals, Inc. ("Hub Chicago") and the Company's 27 operating
partnerships (collectively referred to as "Hub Partnerships"), on a combined
basis assuming Hub Chicago had acquired Hub Partnerships on January 1, 1996,
experienced a revenue increase of 30.8% in the six months ended June 30, 1997,
over the comparable period in 1996. This percentage increase is the result of
strong growth in truckload brokerage, logistics and intermodal service
offerings.

Net Revenue

     Net revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 12.1% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 11.8% in the same period in 1996. This
increase is primarily a reflection of the higher net revenue as a percentage of
revenue that is experienced by Hub Partnerships as compared to Hub Chicago due
to Hub Chicago's larger proportion of high volume/low margin accounts.

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
Salaries and Benefits

     Salaries and benefits increased to $31.3 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1997, from $15.1 million in the same period in 1996. Salaries and
benefits as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.0% in the six months ended
June 30, 1997, from 5.9% in the same period in 1996. Some administrative
services for Hub Chicago were performed by Hub Partnerships for a fee. This fee
was reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses prior to March 18,
1996. After the acquisition of Hub Partnerships by Hub Chicago, this fee is
eliminated in consolidation and the costs of the aforementioned administrative
services are reported as salaries and benefits. This causes salaries and
benefits as a percentage of revenue to increase over the prior year.

Selling, General and Administrative

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $13.1 million in
the six months ended June 30, 1997, from $5.9 million in the same period in
1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
increased to 2.5% in the six months ended June 30, 1997, from 2.3% in the same
period in 1996. Despite the elimination in consolidation of the fees between Hub
Chicago and Hub Partnerships in 1997, Hub Chicago provided greater leverage on
its selling, general and administrative expenses than did the Company as a
whole. The increase in the percentage is also attributed to increased spending
for technology in 1997, to enhance existing programs, conduct studies for new
uses of technology and launch a new web site.

Depreciation and Amortization

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $2.0 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1997, from $0.9 million in the same period in 1996.
Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue increased to 0.4% in
the six months ended June 30, 1997, from 0.3% in the same period in 1996.  The
percentage increase is attributable to the amortization of goodwill that was
recorded in connection with the purchase of Hub Partnerships and APLDDS, as well
as the purchase of additional minority interest in Hub City Tennessee, L.P., Hub
City North Central, L.P., and Hub Group Distribution Services..

Other Income (Expense)

     Other expense increased to $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30,
1997, from $0.1 million in the same period in 1996. This increase is attributed
to an increase in interest expense relating to the issuance of an approximately
$15.0 million note payable, bearing interest at an annual rate of 7%, issued in
connection with the purchase of the remaining 70% minority interest in Hub City
North Central, L.P. in December 1996.

Minority Interest

     Minority interest increased to $8.8 million in the six months ended June
30, 1997, from $ $4.7 million in the same period in 1996. Minority interest as a
percentage of income before minority interest increased to 55.7% in the six
months ended June 30, 1997, from 55.0% in the same period in 1996. The lower
percentage in 1996 was primarily the result of only having the revenue and
expense of Hub Chicago, which is wholly owned by Hub Group, Inc., in the period
prior to March 18, 1996.

Income Taxes

     Income taxes increased to $2.8 million in the six months ended June 30,
1997, from $1.3 million in the same period in 1996. Other than an insignificant
provision for Illinois replacement tax, the Company had no provision for income
taxes prior to March 18, 1996, as the Company was a federally non-taxable
subchapter S corporation. The Company is providing for income taxes at an
effective rate of 40% for all income subsequent to March 17, 1996.

                                      12
<PAGE>
 
Pro Forma Provision For Additional Income Taxes

     Additional pro forma income taxes were zero in the six months ended June
30, 1997, and $0.2 million in the same period in 1996. Additional pro forma
provision for income taxes are shown to provide an assumed effective federal and
state income tax rate of 40% of income before taxes for periods prior to March
18, 1996.


Pro Forma Net Income

     Pro forma net income (pro forma only to provide for income taxes) increased
to $4.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997, from $2.3 million in the
same period in 1996.

Pro Forma Earnings Per Share

     Pro forma earnings per share (pro forma only to provide for income taxes)
increased to $0.70 in the six months ended June 30, 1997, from $0.56 in the same
period in 1996.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (SFAS) NO. 128

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128 - Earnings per Share. This statement's objective is to simplify the
computation of earnings per share (EPS) to make the U.S. standard for computing
EPS more compatible with the EPS standards of other countries and with that of
the International Accounting Standards Committee. This statement is effective

including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted.

     The Company does not expect the future adoption of this standard to have a
material impact, if any, on its financial statements.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company maintains a bank line of credit for $5.0 million. The interest
rate is set at the bank's discretion at a rate less than or equal to the bank's
prime rate. At June 30, 1997, the rate was 7.75%. As of June 30, 1997, the
unused and available portion of this credit line was $5.0 million. Although
there are no assurances, management believes it can obtain an additional line of
credit, if necessary.

NOTE 1.   Interim Financial Statements

     The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements of 26
Subchapter S corporations and the Hub Group Distribution Services partnership

normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles 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.   Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

as necessary to disclose the financial statements of the business acquired by
Hub Group, Inc. pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

     Immediately prior to March 18, 1996, the Company distributed
