BUSINESSGeneral          Hub Group, Inc. ("Hub Group" or the "Company") is a Delawarecorporation which was incorporated on March 8, 1995.  Since its founding as anintermodal marketing company ("IMC") in 1971, the Company has become a fullservice transportation provider.  As the largest IMC in the United States, HubGroup, acting as agent, arranges for the movement of its customers' freight incontainers and trailers over long distances.  In addition, Hub Group arrangesfor the transportation of freight by truck where intermodal transportation isnot available or economical and performs comprehensive logistics services.          The Company operates through an extensive nationwide network of 34offices or "Hubs."  Each Hub is strategically located in a market that has asignificant concentration of shipping customers and one or more railheads.  EachHub functions essentially as a stand alone business managed locally by anexecutive, known as a "Principal," with significant transportationexperienceand, with the exception of Hub Chicago (defined below), Hub Tennessee(defined below), Hub North Central (defined below) and Hub City New Orleans,L.P., an equity ownership interest in that Hub. Local management is responsiblefor operations, customer service and regional marketing, while corporatemanagement is responsible for group strategic planning and administration,financial services, relationships with the railroads, management of theCompany's logistics services business and management information systemssupport. Hub Group also maintains a National Accounts sales force to providecentralized marketing of the Company's services to large and geographicallydiversified shippers.          On March 18, 1996, Hub Group purchased Hub City Terminals, Inc. ("HubChicago") in a stock-for-stock acquisition.  Concurrent with the acquisition ofHub Chicago, Hub Group completed the initial public offering of 4,261,250 sharesof its Class A common stock (the "Class A Common Stock"), with net proceeds toHub Group of $52.9 million.  Simultaneously with the initial public offering,Hub Group, through its new wholly owned subsidiary, Hub Chicago, acquired withcash the general partnership interests in 26 operating partnerships, each withone or more offices.  In addition, Hub Group directly acquired with cash acontrolling interest in the Hub Group Distribution Services partnership ("HubDistribution") which performs certain  specialized logistics functions (each ofthe 26 operating partnerships and Hub Distribution are a "Hub Partnership" andcollectively are the "Hub Partnerships").  With the exception of HubDistribution, the Company has the continuing option, exercisable any time afterthe Principal currently associated with a Hub Partnership ceases to be anemployee, to purchase the limited partnership interest in that Hub Partnership.The decision as to whether or when to exercise an option to acquire the limitedpartnership interest in a Hub Partnership will be made by the independentmembers of the Company's Board of Directors. Unless the context otherwiserequires, references to "Hub Group" or the "Company" include Hub Chicago, theHub Partnerships and their respective subsidiaries.          In addition to the acquisitions made in connection with the initialpublic offering, the Company made the following strategic investments in 1996.In April 1996, the Company's newly formed joint venture with Norton LillyInternational Inc. ("Norton Lilly"), a large steamship agent, began operations.The joint venture facilitates international shipments of freight originating inor destined for the United States. The North American intermodal freightmovements arranged by the joint venture are handled by the Hub network.  NortonLilly is responsible for arranging steamship passage and local transportation inforeign countries.  On May  2, 1996, the Company acquired the domesticintermodal marketing business of American President Lines Domestic DistributionServices ("APLDDS") from American President Companies, Ltd. ("APC").  As aresult of the APLDDS acquisition, the Company acquired the right to serviceAPLDDS customers, but did not assume any assets or liabilities associated withthat business.  The Company hired 36 experienced intermodal personnel from theAPLDDS organization. On August 1, 1996, the Company purchased the remaining 70%minority interest in one of the Hub Partnerships, Hub City Tennessee, L.P. ("HubTennessee"). On December 12, 1996, the Company purchased the remaining 70%                                       1  minority interest in another Hub Partnership, Hub City North Central, L.P. ("HubNorth Central").Services Provided          The Company's transportation services can be broadly placed into thefollowing categories:          Intermodal  As part of its intermodal services, the Company contractswith railroads to provide transportation over the long-haul portion of theshipment and, when not providing the services itself, contracts with drayagecompanies for local pickup and delivery. The Company also negotiates rail anddrayage rates, electronically tracks shipments in transit, consolidates billingand handles claims for freight loss or damage on behalf of its customers. TheCompany uses its Hub network, connected through its proprietary advancedintermodal management ("AIM") system, to access containers and trailers owned byleasing companies, railroads and steamship lines. Because each Hub not onlyhandles its own outbound shipments but also handles inbound shipments from otherHubs, each Hub is able to track trailers and containers entering its servicearea and use that equipment to fulfill its customers' outbound shippingrequirements. This effectively allows the Company to "capture" containers andtrailers and keep them within the Hub network without having to make a capitalinvestment in transportation equipment.          The Company's ability to deliver its intermodal customers' freight ontime depends on the quality and service provided by the drayage companies withwhich it does business.  Due to the size of these drayage companies and theirlimited access to capital for expansion, the Company's future growth will dependin part on its ability to identify additional local drayage capacity to servicethe Company's customers.  In some locations, drayage service is limited orcustomers require an enhanced level of service which cannot be competitivelyaccommodated by a third-party provider. In these locations, the Company hasbegun to supplement third party drayage operations with company-owned tractorsto service portions of the Company's intermodal business.  See Item 7Management's Discussion and Analysis - Liquidity and Capital Resources.          Brokerage  The Company arranges for the transportation of freight bytruck, providing customers another option for their transportation needs. Thisis accomplished by matching customers' needs with carriers' capacity to providethe best service and price combination. The Company has contracts with asubstantial base of carriers allowing it to meet the varied needs of itscustomers. The Company negotiates rates, tracks shipments in transit,consolidates billing and handles claims for freight loss and damage on behalf ofits customers. The Company's brokerage operation also provides customers withspecialized programs. Through the Dedicated Trucking program, certain carriersagree to move freight for Hub's customers on a continuous basis. Thisarrangement allows Hub to gain control of the trucking equipment to effectivelymeet its customer's needs without owning the equipment. Through the ManagedCarrier program, Hub assumes the responsibility for all truckloads thecustomer's core carriers cannot handle. This program is tailored to eachcustomer, and provides the customer with increased control and improved servicedue to Hub's resources and expertise.          Logistics  The Company has expanded its service capabilities ascustomers increasingly outsource their logistics needs.  Logistics functionscurrently offered include comprehensive transportation management, arranging fordelivery to multiple locations at the shipment's destination, third partywarehousing and other customized logistics services, as well as other non-traditional logistics services such as installation of point of sale merchandisedisplays.          The Company operates its comprehensive transportation managementbusiness from its corporate headquarters in Lombard, Illinois.  From thiscentral location, the Company's Hub Logistics division provides completetransportation services, essentially replacing the customer's transportationdepartment.  Once the Company is hired as a single source logistics provider,Hub Logistics negotiates with intermodal, railcar, truckload and less-than-truckload carriers to move the customer's product through the supply chain andthen dispatches the move for the customer.  Using its advanced transportationmanagement software, Hub Logistics consolidates orders into full truckloadshipments, chooses a shipping route, electronically tenders loads to carriersand reports the move to the customer.                                       2 Hub Network          Over the past 25 years, Hub Group has grown from a single office withtwo employees into a network of 32 Hubs in the United States, one Hub in Canadaand one Hub in Mexico. Hub Group also has several satellite sales offices. Indeveloping this network, the Company has carefully selected each location toensure coverage in areas with significant concentrations of shipping customersand one or more railheads. Hub Group currently has Hubs in the following cities:           Atlanta       Grand Rapids    Milwaukee        Rochester          Baltimore     Houston         Minneapolis      St. Louis          Birmingham    Indianapolis    New Haven        Salt Lake City          Boston        Jacksonville    New Orleans      San Antonio          Chicago(3)    Kansas City     New York City    San Francisco          Cleveland     Los Angeles     Philadelphia     Seattle          Dallas        Memphis         Pittsburgh       Toledo          Detroit       Mexico City     Portland         TorontoThe entire Hub network is interactively connected through the Company's AIMsystem. This enables Hub Group to move freight into and out of every major cityin the United States and most locations in Canada and Mexico.          Each Hub manages the freight originating in or destined for itsservice area. In a typical intermodal transaction, the customer contacts thelocal Hub to obtain shipping schedules and a price quote for a particularfreight movement. The local Hub obtains the necessary intermodal equipment,arranges for it to be delivered to the customer by a drayage company and, afterthe freight is loaded, arranges for the transportation of the container ortrailer to the rail ramp.  Information is entered into the AIM system by thelocal Hub, which monitors the shipment to ensure that it will arrive asscheduled. This information is simultaneously transmitted through the AIM systemto the Hub closest to the point of delivery, which arranges for and confirmsdelivery by a drayage company.  This arrangement among the Hubs is transparentto the customer and allows the customer to maintain its relationship solely withthe originating Hub.          The Company provides brokerage services to its customers in a similarmanner.  In a typical brokerage transaction, the customer contacts the local Hubto obtain transit information and a price quote for a particular freightmovement. The customer then provides appropriate shipping information to thelocal Hub. The local Hub makes the delivery appointment and arranges with theappropriate carrier to pick up the freight. Once it receives confirmation thatthe freight has been picked up, the local Hub monitors the movement of thefreight until it reaches its destination and the delivery has been confirmed. Ifthe carrier notifies Hub Group that after delivering the load it will needadditional freight, the Hub located nearest the destination is notifiedelectronically of the carrier's availability. The ability of Hub to providereloads for carriers reduces the risk that the carrier will return empty.Marketing and Customers          The Company believes that fostering long-term customer relationshipsis critical to the Company's success. Through these long-term relationships, theCompany is able to better understand its customer's needs and to tailortransportation services for a specific customer, regardless of the customer'ssize or volume. The Company has created a database of current and prospectivecustomers, profiling each customer's shipping patterns, which the Companyperiodically updates. This database allows the Company to target its marketingto meet each customer's specific requirements.                                       3           The Company currently has full time marketing representatives at eachHub with primary responsibility for servicing local and regional accounts. Thesesales representatives work from the 34 Hubs and the Company's satellite salesoffices. This network provides a local marketing contact for small and mediumshippers in most major metropolitan areas within the United States.          In 1985, the Company organized National Accounts to service the needsof the nation's largest shippers. The Company recognized that although largeshippers originate freight from multiple locations throughout the country, theirlogistics function is usually centralized. The Company essentially mirrored thisstructure by servicing national accounts from a central location and parcelingout the servicing of individual freight shipments to the appropriate Hub.  Theare currently 16 National Accounts sales representatives who report to theCompany's Executive Vice President of National Accounts. The National Accountssales representatives regularly call on the nation's largest shippers to developbusiness relationships and to expand the Company's participation in servicingtheir transportation needs. When a business opportunity is identified by aNational Accounts sales representative, the Company's market development andpricing personnel and the local Hubs work together to provide a transportationsolution tailored to the customer's needs. Local Hubs provide transportationservices to National Accounts customers. After the plan is implemented, NationalAccounts' personnel maintain regular contact with the shipper to ensure customersatisfaction and to refine the process as necessary.          This unique combination of local and regional marketing has produced alarge, diverse customer base. The Company services customers in a wide varietyof industries, including consumer products, printing, paper, retail, chemicalsand electronics.Management Information System          A primary component of the Company's business strategy is thecontinued improvement of its AIM system and other technology to ensure that theCompany will remain a leader among transportation providers in informationprocessing for intermodal transportation. The AIM system consists of a networkof IBM AS/400 computers located at the Hubs and linked to a host computer at theCompany's headquarters. Hub Group uses IBM's Global Network as the nucleus forlinking its computers and databases. This configuration provides a real timeenvironment for transmitting data among the Hubs and the Company's headquartersusing electronic data interchange ("EDI"), electronic mail and other protocols.It also allows Hub to communicate electronically with each railroad, certaindrayage companies and those customers with EDI capabilities.          The Company's proprietary AIM system is the primary mechanism used bythe Hubs to process customer transportation requests, schedule and trackshipments, prepare customer billing, establish account profiles and retaincritical information for analysis. The AIM system provides mainframe-to-mainframe connectivity with each of the major rail carriers, enabling theCompany to electronically schedule and track shipments in a real timeenvironment. In addition, the AIM system's EDI features offer customers with EDIcapability a completely paperless process, including load tendering, shipmentdispatch, shipment tracking, customer billing and remittance processing. TheCompany aggressively pursues opportunities to establish EDI interfaces with itscustomers and carriers.Relationship with Railroads          A key element of the Company's business strategy is to strengthen itsclose working relationship with each of the major intermodal railroads in theUnited States. The Company views its relationship with the railroads as apartnership. Due to the Company's size and relative importance, many railroadshave dedicated support personnel to focus on the Company's day-to-day servicerequirements. On a semi-annual basis, senior executives of the Company and eachof the railroads meet to discuss major strategic issues concerning intermodaltransportation. Several of the Company's executive officers, including both theCompany's Chairman and President, are former railroad employees, which makesthem well-suited to understand the railroads' service capabilities.                                       4            The Company has contracts with each of the following railroads:          Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe       Illinois Central          Burlington Northern               Kansas City Southern          Canadian Pacific                  Norfolk Southern          Conrail                           Southern Pacific          CSX                               Union Pacific           These contracts govern the transportation services and payment termspursuant to which the Company's intermodal shipments are handled by therailroads. The contracts have staggered renewal terms with the earliestexpiration at the end of June 1997.  While there can be no assurances that thesecontracts will be renewed, the Company has in the past successfully negotiatedextensions of the contracts with the railroads. Transportation rates are marketdriven and are typically negotiated between the Company and the railroads on acustomer specific basis. Consistent with industry practice, many of the ratesnegotiated by the Company are special commodity quotations ("SCQs"), whichprovide discounts from published price lists based on competitive market factorsand are designed by the railroads to attract new business or to retain existingbusiness. SCQ rates are generally issued for the account of a single IMC. SCQrates apply to specific customers in specified shipping lanes for a specificperiod of time, usually six to 12 months.Relationship with Drayage Companies          In 1990, the Company instituted its "Quality Drayage Program," whichconsists of agreements and rules that govern the framework pursuant to which thedrayage companies perform services for the Company. Participants in the programcommit to provide high quality service, clean and safe equipment, maintain acertain on-time performance level and follow specified procedures designed tominimize freight loss and damage.  Whenever possible, the Company uses theservices of drayage companies that participate in its Quality Drayage Program.However, during periods of high demand for drayage services or at the request ofa customer, the Company will use the services of other drayage companies.  Thelocal Hubs negotiate drayage rates for transportation between specific originand destination points. These rates generally are valid, with minor exceptionsfor fuel surcharge increases, for a period of one year.Relationship with Truckload Carriers          The Company's brokerage operation has a large and growing number ofactive carriers in its database which it uses to transport freight.  The localHubs deal daily with these carriers on an operational level.  Hub HighwayServices handles the administrative and regulatory aspects of the carrierrelationship.  Hub views its relationships with its carriers as important sincethese relationships determine pricing, load coverage and overall service.Risk Management and Insurance          The Company requires all drayage companies participating in theQuality Drayage Program to carry at least $1.0 million in general liabilityinsurance and $1.0 million in cargo insurance. Railroads, which are selfinsured, provide limited common carrier liability protection, generally up to$250,000 per shipment, although higher coverage is available on a load-by-loadbasis. To cover freight damage when a carrier's liability cannot be establishedor a carrier's insurance is insufficient to cover freight loss or damage, theCompany carries its own $1.5 million cargo insurance and $2.0 million generalliability insurance. The Company also carries a companion $10.0 million umbrellapolicy on its general liability insurance.                                       5 Government Regulation          Hub Highway Services, a partnership controlled by the Company, islicensed by the Department of Transportation ("DOT") as a broker in arrangingfor the transportation of general commodities by motor vehicle. To the extentthat the Hubs perform truck brokerage services, they do so under the licensegranted to Hub Highway Services. The DOT prescribes qualifications for acting inthis capacity, including certain surety bonding requirements. While the DOTrequires a $10,000 surety bond to maintain this license, the Company hasvoluntarily posted a $100,000 surety bond. To date, compliance with theseregulations has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's results ofoperations or financial condition. However, the transportation industry issubject to legislative or regulatory changes that can affect the economics ofthe industry by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing thedemand for, and cost of providing, transportation services.Competition          The transportation services industry is highly competitive. TheCompany competes against other IMCs, as well as logistics companies, third partybrokers and railroads that market their own intermodal services. In addition,there is an emerging trend for larger truckload carriers to enter intoagreements with railroads to market intermodal services nationwide. Competitionis based primarily on freight rates, quality of service, reliability, transittime and scope of operations. Several transportation service companies andtruckload carriers, and all of the major railroads, have substantially greaterfinancial and other resources than the Company.General          Employees  As of February 28, 1997, the Company had approximately1,050 employees. The Company is not a party to any collective bargainingagreement and considers its relationship with its employees to be satisfactory.          Other  No material portion of the Company's operations is subject torenegotiation of profits or termination of contracts at the election of thefederal government.  The Company has not spent a material amount on companysponsored research and development activities or on customer sponsored researchactivities.  None of the Company's patents and trademarks is believed to bematerial to the Company.  The Company's business is seasonal to the extent thatcertain customer groups, such as retail, are seasonal.Item 2.  PROPERTIES          The Company directly, or indirectly through the Hub Partnerships,operates 40 offices throughout the United States and in Canada and Mexico,including the Company's headquarters in Lombard, Illinois, its National Accountsoffice in Stamford, Connecticut, four National Accounts sales offices, HubLogistics offices in Lombard and Stamford and Hub Distribution's office. Theoffice buildings used by the Hubs located in Milwaukee, Toledo, Detroit andKansas City are owned, and the remainder are leased. The office building inKansas City is subject to a mortgage. Most office leases have initial terms ofmore than one year, and many include options to renew. While some of theCompany's leases are month-to-month and others expire in the near term, theCompany does not believe that it will have difficulty in renewing them or infinding alternative office space. The Company believes that its offices areadequate for the purposes for which they are currently used.Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS          The Company is a party to routine litigation incident to its business,primarily claims for freight lost or damaged in transit or improperly shipped.Most of the lawsuits to which the Company is party are covered by                                       6 insurance and are being defended by the Company's insurance carriers. Managementdoes not believe that the litigation to which it is currently a party, ifdetermined adversely to the Company, would individually or in the aggregate havea materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results ofoperations. See Item 1 Business - Risk Management and Insurance.Item 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS          There were no matters submitted to a vote of the Company's securityholders during the fourth quarter of 1996.Executive Officers of the Registrant          In reliance on General Instruction G to Form 10-K, information onexecutive officers of the Registrant is included in this Part I.

("HubChicago") in a stock-for-stock acquisition through the issuance of 1,000,000shares of the Company's Class A common stock and 662,296 shares of the Company'sClass B common stock. Hub Chicago has been accounted for similar to the poolingof interests method of accounting and has been included in all periods presentedon a historical cost basis. Concurrent with the acquisition of Hub Chicago, theCompany completed the initial public offering of 4,261,250 shares of its Class Acommon stock, with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $52,945,000.Coincident with the initial public offering, a selling stockholder sold1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock through a secondaryoffering. The Company did not receive any net proceeds from the sale of theshares by the selling stockholder. Concurrent with the initial public offering,the Company acquired with cash a controlling interest in each of 27 operatingpartnerships.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSCAPITAL STRUCTURE       Hub Group, Inc. was incorporated on March 8, 1995.  On March 18, 1996,Hub Group, Inc. purchased Hub City Terminals, Inc. ("Hub Chicago") in a stock-for stock acquisition through the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Class A commonstock and 662,296 shares of Class B common stock.  Hub Chicago has beenaccounted for similar to the pooling of interests method of accounting and hasbeen included in all periods presented on a historical cost basis.       Concurrent with the acquisition of Hub Chicago in March 1996, Hub Group,Inc. completed the initial public offering of 4,261,250 shares of its Class Acommon stock.  Coincident with the initial public offering, a sellingstockholder sold 1,000,000 shares of Hub Group, Inc.'s Class A common stockthrough a secondary offering.BUSINESS COMBINATIONS       Concurrent with the initial public offering, Hub Group, Inc., togetherwith its wholly owned subsidiary, Hub Chicago, acquired a controlling interestin each of 27 operating partnerships (collectively referred to as "HubPartnerships").  Prior to March 18, 1996, Hub Chicago and Hub Partnerships wereunder common control and formed a network that collectively worked withcustomers and vendors.  On May 2, 1996, Hub Group, Inc. purchased the rights toservice the customers of American President Lines Domestic Distribution Services("APLDDS"), a division of APL Land Transport Services, Inc, from its parentAmerican President Companies, Ltd.       The revenue of the acquired businesses is many multiples of the revenueof Hub Chicago.  As a result, consolidated revenue and operating expense for HubGroup, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") increased dramatically in theperiods subsequent to March 17, 1996.       As a result of the APLDDS acquisition, the Company acquired the right toservice APLDDS customers, but did not assume any assets or liabilitiesassociated with that business.  Furthermore, the Company hired only 36 of themore than 200 employees in the APLDDS organization.  The APLDDS business wasabsorbed directly into the operations of Hub Chicago and Hub Partnerships andmanagement believes the associated incremental operating costs are significantlyless than the historical operating costs experienced by APLDDS.  Management doesnot track the incremental purchased transportation and operating costsattributable to the acquired APLDDS business.  Consequently, discussion ofresults of operations excluding acquisitions is limited to comparisons ofrevenue.  Discussion of pro forma financial data reflects results of operationsas if Hub Group, Inc. had acquired Hub Partnerships and APLDDS as of January 1,1995.RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYear Ended December 31, 1996, Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995Revenue       Revenue totaled $754.2 million for 1996, representing an increase of826.5% over 1995.  Without the acquisitions, Company revenues totaled $85.2million for 1996 for an increase of 4.7% over 1995.  The minor increase inrevenue without acquisitions is attributed principally to Hub Chicago's loss ofa portion of a significant customer's business.  This consumer productsmanufacturer moved the production of one of its major products to a facilitywhich is now being served by one of the operating partnerships that comprise HubPartnerships.       Pro forma revenue increased 5.3% to $938.9 million from $891.8 million in1995.  The 1995 pro forma revenue was impacted significantly by the addition ofthe revenue reported by APLDDS.  The business acquired from APLDDS on May 2,1996, had been experiencing significant decline during 1995 and the firstquarter of 1996.  This decline had a negative influence on the pro forma revenuegrowth rate.  Despite the declining trend, management believes the Company hassuccessfully transitioned and retained greater than 90% of the APLDDS businessthat existed on May 2, 1996.                                       11        Excluding the revenue relating to APLDDS prior to the acquisition on May2, 1996, Hub Chicago and Hub Partnerships, on a combined basis assuming HubChicago had acquired Hub Partnerships on January 1, 1995, experienced a revenueincrease of 25.7% to $893.2 million in 1996 from $710.8 million in 1995.  Thispercentage increase is primarily attributable to strong growth in truckloadbrokerage and logistics as well as the acquisition of the APLDDS business.Intermodal revenues, excluding APLDDS from all periods, increased moderately ona percentage basis.Net Revenue       Net revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 12.1% for 1996compared to 7.7% in 1995.  This increase is primarily a reflection of the highernet revenue as a percentage of revenue that is experienced by Hub Partnershipsas compared to Hub Chicago.  Hub Chicago has a larger proportion of highvolume/low margin accounts than does Hub Partnerships.       Pro forma net revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 11.9% in1996 from 11.3% in 1995.  On a pro forma basis, net revenue as a percentage ofrevenue for the APLDDS business was 7.3% and 4.1% for 1995 and the periodJanuary 1, 1996 through May 1, 1996, respectively.  Management believes that thenet revenue percentage on the transitioned APLDDS business has improved modestlyover the APLDDS 1995 pro forma net revenue percentage.  The lower pro formapercentages experienced by APLDDS causes the current year percentages to comparefavorably to the prior year percentages.  This favorable pro forma comparison ispartially offset by the lower net revenue percentage experienced by the additionof new logistics customers in late 1995 and early 1996.Salaries and Benefits       Salaries and benefits increased to $43.9 million in 1996 from $2.5million in 1995.  Pro forma salaries and benefits increased to $55.9 million in1996 from $50.4 million in 1995.  APLDDS was a division of APL Land TransportServices, Inc. ("APL") and consequently received much of its support servicesfrom APL.  In return for these services, APLDDS was assessed a management fee.This arrangement had the effect of deflating salaries and benefits whileinflating selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, salariesand benefits reported by APLDDS in servicing their customers were lower as apercentage of revenue than traditionally experienced by the Company.  For 1995and the period January 1, 1996 through May 1, 1996, salaries and benefits as apercentage of revenue for APLDDS were 3.8% and 4.8%, respectively.  Pro formasalaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.0% for 1996 from5.7% in 1995, which is partially attributed to the historical cost structure ofAPLDDS.  The Company's investment in additional personnel in 1996 alsocontributed to this increase.  These additional personnel were hired to handleadditional truckload brokerage and logistics business, to expand the local andnational sales forces and to provide the financial and administrative servicesrequired for continued growth.Selling, General and Administrative       Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $17.1 millionin 1996 from $1.2 million in 1995.  Pro forma selling, general andadministrative expenses decreased to $23.2 million in 1996 from $29.8 million in1995.  As a percentage of revenue these pro forma expenses were 2.5% in 1996 and3.3% for 1995.  As explained in "Salaries and Benefits," APLDDS received much ofits support services through a management fee arrangement with APL.  This causedthe APLDDS historical selling, general and administrative expenses to be asignificantly greater percentage of revenue than the percentage traditionallyexperienced by the Company.  For 1995 and the period January 1, 1996, throughMay 1, 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage ofrevenue for APLDDS were 7.3% and 6.0%, respectively.Depreciation and Amortization       Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $2.6 million in 1996from a negligible amount in 1995.  Pro forma depreciation and amortizationincreased to $3.3 million in 1996 from $3.1 million in 1995.  As a percentage ofrevenue, pro forma depreciation and amortization increased to 0.4% in 1996 from0.3% in 1995.                                       12 Other Income (Expense)       Interest expense was $1.0 million in 1996 and zero in 1995.  All of theinterest expensed in 1996 was incurred subsequent to March 17, 1996.  Pro formainterest expense increased to $1.3 million in 1996 from $1.2 million in 1995.       There are three primary components of interest expense.  First, theCompany assumed or issued $13.2 million of five-year balloon notes inconjunction with the acquisition of Hub Partnerships in March 1996.  These notesbear interest at an annual rate of 5.45%.  Interest expense on these notes beganto decline in the third quarter of 1996 as discretionary payments were made.Second, in conjunction with the acquisition of APLDDS in May 1996, the Companyissued notes for $6.0 million bearing interest at an annual rate of 6%.  Therewere no payments made on these notes in 1996.  Third, the Company has borrowedto purchase tractors as it continues its strategy of starting small drayageoperations to service portions of its own business in those areas where it isneeded to enhance customer service (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). Theannual rate of interest on these loans is determined at the time each tractor ispurchased at a rate equal to 3% over the two-year Treasury note rate.       Interest income was $0.8 million in 1996 and $0.1 million in 1995.  Proforma interest income was $0.8 million in 1996 and $0.7 million in 1995.Minority Interest       Minority interest was $16.4 million in 1996 and zero in 1995.  On a proforma basis, minority interest was $17.4 million in 1996 and $11.7 million in1995.  Management estimates that 20% of the acquired APLDDS business has accruedto Hub Chicago. To calculate a pro forma minority interest factor, it wasestimated that the minority interest will accrue its 70% ownership in HubPartnerships which operates 80% of the APLDDS business.  As such, minorityinterest as a percentage of income before minority interest and provision forincome taxes of 56% was applied to pro forma income before minority interest forAPLDDS for 1995 and the period January 1, 1996, through May 1, 1996.       On a pro forma basis, minority interest as a percentage of income beforeminority interest and provision for income taxes was 61.0% for 1996 and 69.2%for 1995.  The higher minority interest percentage in 1995 was the result of thesignificant loss reported by APLDDS combined with a lower pro forma minorityinterest factor that was applied to that loss as compared to the factor appliedto the rest of the Company's income.       The Company owns 100% of Hub Chicago.  The Company acquired 30% of 26operating partnerships and approximately 21% of another operating partnership(collectively Hub Partnerships).  On August 1, 1996, the Company purchased theremaining 70% of Hub City Tennessee, L.P. ("Hub Tennessee").  On December 12,1996, the Company purchased the remaining 70% minority interest in Hub CityNorth Central, L.P. ("Hub North Central").Income Taxes       Income taxes were $4.3 million in 1996 and negligible in 1995.  Otherthan an insignificant provision for Illinois replacement tax, the Company had noprovision for income taxes prior to March 18, 1996, as the Company was afederally non-taxable subchapter S corporation.  The Company is providing forincome taxes at an effective rate of 40% for all income subsequent to March 17,1996.Pro Forma Provision For Additional Income Taxes       Additional pro forma income taxes were $0.2 million in 1996 and $1.0million in 1995.  Additional pro forma provision for income taxes are shown toprovide an assumed effective federal and state income tax rate of 40% of incomebefore taxes for periods prior to March 18, 1996.Pro Forma Net Income       Pro forma net income (pro forma only regarding income taxes) increased to$6.8 million in 1996 from $1.6 million in 1995.  Pro forma net income (pro formato provide for income taxes and for the acquisitions of                                        13 Hub Partnerships and APLDDS) increased to $6.7 million in 1996 from $3.1 millionin 1995. The increase in pro forma net income, which gives effect to theCompany's acquisitions, is 113.3% when comparing 1996 to 1995. This largeincrease was significantly influenced by the losses incurred by APLDDS beforebeing acquired by the Company.Pro Forma Earnings Per Share       Pro forma earnings per share (pro forma only to provide for income taxes)increased to $1.35 in 1996 from $0.95 in 1995.  Pro forma earnings per share(pro forma to provide for income taxes and for the Company's acquisitions)increased to $1.15 in 1996 from $0.59 in 1995.  The increase in pro formaearnings per share, which gives effect to the Company's acquisitions, is 94.9%.This large increase was significantly influenced by the losses incurred byAPLDDS before being acquired by the Company.Year Ended December 31, 1995, Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1994Revenue       Revenue decreased 6.3% to $81.4 million in 1995 from $86.9 million in1994.  Approximately 45% of the decrease resulted from a significant customermoving it headquarters and distribution facility out of Hub Chicago's territoryand into the territory of one of the partnerships that comprise Hub Partnershipsat the end of the fourth quarter of 1994.  A slowdown in the economy in 1995reduced shipments by the Company's customers.  However, Hub Chicago had beenincreasingly successful in passing along to the customer, where appropriate,additional trailer storage and detention charges, many of which were formerlynot billed by the Company, thus offsetting to some extent the effects of theeconomic slowdown.Net Revenue       Net revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 7.7% in 1995 comparedto 7.2% in 1994.  In 1995, the Company was able to negotiate reduced freightcharges with vendors due to the weakened demand for freight transportation.Management also believes that net revenue as a percentage of revenue in 1995increased as a result of the continued improvement in the Hubs' ability tocontrol equipment through the network the Company shares with Hub Partnerships.The Company had also been successful in reducing trailer storage and detentioncharges that it previously absorbed.Salaries and Benefits       Salaries and benefits decreased $0.1 million but increased slightly apercentage of revenues to 3.0% of revenues in 1995 compared to 2.9% of revenuesin 1994.  This increase in salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue wasa result of a decrease in revenue.  Staffing levels, which increased in thethird and fourth quarters of 1994 to accommodate volume growth and servicelevels required by customers, decreased during 1995 in response to reducedrevenue levels.Selling, General and Administrative       Selling, general and administrative expenses remained constant at 1.5% ofrevenues in 1994 and 1995.Depreciation and Amortization       Depreciation and amortization expense was negligible in 1994 and 1995.Other Income (Expense)       Interest income was negligible in 1994 and 1995.Income Taxes       Income taxes were negligible in 1994 and 1995.                                       14 Pro Forma Provision For Additional Income Taxes       Additional pro forma income taxes were $1.0 million in 1995 and $0.9million in 1994.  Additional pro forma provision for income taxes are shown toprovide an assumed effective federal and state income tax rate of 40% of incomebefore taxes.Pro Forma Net Income       Pro forma net income (pro forma only regarding income taxes) increased to$1.6 million in 1995 from $1.4 million in 1994.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES       During 1996, the Company had several significant transactions thataffected liquidity.  These transactions were the initial public offering of theCompany's Class A common stock and the subsequent acquisition of a controllinginterest in Hub Partnerships, the APLDDS acquisition and the purchase of theremaining 70% minority interest in Hub Tennessee and Hub North Central.  Theseitems represented a cash inflow of $52.9 million and cash outflows of $35.5million, $2.0 million, $2.5 million and zero, respectively.  Related to theacquisitions and purchases, the Company assumed long-term debt, includingcurrent portions, of $35.9 million, approximately $12.5 million of which arefive-year balloon notes due in March of 2001, bearing interest at an annual rateof 5.45%.  Approximately $6.0 million bears interest at 6% and is due in threeequal annual installments beginning May 1997.  Approximately $15.0 million isdue on January 1, 1998, and bears interest at an annual rate of 7%.  Immediatelyprior to the initial public offering and Hub Partnership acquisition, HubChicago issued five-year balloon notes, due in March 2001, to its shareholdersfor approximately $0.7 million, bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.45%.  Anadditional $1.7 million of miscellaneous debt was assumed in connection with theacquisition of Hub Partnerships.  The acquisitions resulted in the recognitionof a $12.8 million deferred tax asset, which will offset cash payments for taxesratably over the next 15 years.  The resulting $42.8 million of goodwill fromthe acquisitions and the minority interest purchases represents a tax deductibleexpense to be recognized over the next 15 years.       Capital expenditures are principally made to enhance or expand theCompany's information systems and network capabilities and, most recently, toacquire a number of tractors to support Company-owned drayage operations.  Partof the Company's strategy is to supplement third party drayage operations withCompany-owned tractors to service portions of the Company's intermodal businessin those locations where drayage service is limited or where customers requirean enhanced level of service which cannot be competitively accommodated by athird-party provider.       As of December 31, 1996, the Company owned 83 tractors as part ofCompany-owned drayage operations for the operating companies located inMissouri, Michigan, New Jersey, Georgia, Kansas and Illinois.  The Company-owneddrayage operation in Missouri has been functioning since 1994.  The Michiganoperation started in the second quarter of 1996, the New Jersey and Illinoisoperations started in the third quarter of 1996 and the Georgia and Kansasoperations started in the fourth quarter of 1996.  Of the 83 tractors inoperation at December 31, 1996, 62 were acquired in 1996 at a cost ofapproximately $65,000 each.  Ten of these tractors were purchased with cash andthe remainder were financed at a rate of 3% over the two-year Treasury note rateafter an initial down payment of 10%.       The Company maintains a bank line of credit for $5.0 million.  Theinterest rate is set at the bank's discretion at a rate less than or equal tothe bank's prime rate.  At December 31, 1996, the rate was 7.75%.  As ofDecember 31, 1996, the unused and available portion of this credit line was $5.0million.  Although there are no assurances, management believes it can obtain anadditional line of credit, if necessary.OUTLOOK, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES       This "Outlook, Risks and Uncertainties" section contains statementsregarding expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding thefuture which are forward looking statements within the meaning of the PrivateSecurities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and uncertaintiesdescribed below that could cause actual results to differ materially from thoseprojected.  The Company assumes no liability to update any such forward                                        15 looking statements. In addition to those mentioned elsewhere in this section,such risks and uncertainties include the impact of competitive pressures in themarketplace, the degree and rate of market growth in the markets served by theCompany, changes in industry-wide capacity, further consolidation of railcarriers, changes in governmental regulation, changes in the cost of servicesfrom vendors and fluctuations in interest rates.Revenue       Management estimates that in 1997 revenue growth will decline fromcurrent levels.  This estimate is based on management's opinion that thedramatic growth in the truckload brokerage and logistics businesses experiencedin 1996 provides too large of a revenue base to sustain the same growth rate in1997.  Furthermore, management cannot predict an acquisition similar to APLDDSin 1997.Net Revenue       Historically, the Company contracted for all its drayage needs with 100%of the attendant costs being classified as purchased transportation.  As theCompany sets up its own drayage operations, the salaries and benefits for non-driver employees as well as general and administrative expenses are classifiedbelow the net revenue line as operating expenses.  Assuming that the Companyfulfills its drayage needs at or below the previously contracted cost, theclassification of a portion of the cost below net revenue will cause net revenueas a percentage of revenue related to the Company's drayage operations toincrease.  Management expects fluctuations in the net revenue percentage fromquarter-to-quarter caused by changes in business mix, changes in highwaybrokerage margins, changes in logistics business margins, changes in trailer andcontainer capacity, changes in vendor pricing, changes in intermodal industrygrowth and changes in accounting estimates.  Some of the Company's rail vendorshave increased rates in the first quarter of 1997.  The Company may not be ableto pass some or all of these rate increases along to its customers.Salaries and Benefits       It is anticipated that salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenuecould fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter as there are timing differences betweenrevenue increases and changes in levels of staffing.  Factors that could affectthe percentage from staying in the recent historical range are revenue growthrates significantly higher or lower than forecasted, a management decision toinvest in additional personnel to stimulate new or existing businesses orchanges in customer requirements that result in a higher cost of labor per move.Depreciation and Amortization       Management estimates that as a percentage of revenue, depreciation andamortization will remain at current levels or increase in the future.  Factorsthat could cause an increase in the percentage are increased leaseholdimprovement amortization as operating companies transition to larger facilities,increased software amortization on planned implementation of new packages in thetruckload brokerage and logistics businesses and increased goodwill amortizationthat would arise if the Company exercised any of its options to purchase theremaining minority interest in any of its operating partnerships.Other Income (Expense)       Interest expense in 1997 will increase significantly due to the issuance,on December 12, 1996, of a note for approximately $15.0 in connection with thepurchase of the remaining 70% minority interest in Hub North Central.  Interestexpense related to tractor purchases will continue to increase as the Companycontinues expansion into Company-owned drayage operations.  Management estimatesinterest expense as it relates to the balloon notes assumed or issued inconnection with the acquisition of Hub Partnerships will continue to decline ona quarterly basis as the various operating partnerships continue to makediscretionary principal payments.  Interest expense related to the notes issuedin conjunction with the acquisition of APLDDS will decline from current levelsin May of 1997, 1998 and 1999, coincident with the required principal paymentterms.       Management estimates that interest income will likely decrease fromcurrent levels.  Factors that could cause such a decrease are the possible useof cash to (i) make payments on the balloon notes, (ii) make payments on                                        16 the APLDDS notes, (iii) make payments on the note issued to acquire theremaining interest in Hub North Central, (iv) make down payments on tractors,(v) fund working capital needs for those operating companies starting their ownCompany-owned drayage operations, (vi) fund the purchase of the remainingminority interest in any of its operating partnerships and (vii) increase theCompany's capital investment in an international joint venture.Minority Interest       Factors that could have a material impact and result in minority interestpercentages of income before minority interest to be outside the historicalrange are (i) the exercise of any of the Company's options to purchase theremaining minority interest in any of its operating companies and (ii)disproportionate changes in the profitability of businesses between those whichare owned 100% by the Company and those which are owned less than 100% by theCompany.  The purchase of the remaining minority interest in Hub North Central,assuming all other factors affecting minority interest are equal, should causeminority interest as a percentage of income before minority interest to decline.Net Income       Management expects that net income growth rates after May 1997 will besignificantly less than the pro forma net income growth rates experienced sinceMay 1996.  The Company acquired APLDDS in May 1996 and management cannot predicta similar acquisition in 1997.Earnings Per Share       Management expects that earnings per share growth rates after May 1997will be significantly less than the pro forma net income growth ratesexperienced since May 1996.  The Company acquired APLDDS in May 1996 andmanagement cannot predict a similar acquisition in 1997.Liquidity and Capital Resources       The Company expects to continue to pay down, as a prepayment, the balloonnotes from time to time as cash availability permits.  The Company expects tomeet all other liabilities as they become due.       Management is considering additional sites for Company-owned tractors,and it is anticipated that Company-owned drayage operations, in total, willrequire the acquisition of approximately 110 tractors in 1997.  The Company maypurchase up to 20 of these tractors with cash with the remainder being financed.Management estimates that each start-up of a Company-owned drayage operationrequires working capital of $0.3 million to $0.4 million above and beyond thecost of acquiring the tractors.  Management estimates that an additional threeto five locations may start Company-owned drayage operations by the end of 1997.Management intends to carefully evaluate existing and new drayage operationsbefore committing additional capital resources.       The Company has the continuing option, exercisable any time after thePresident currently associated with an operating partnership ceases to be anemployee, to purchase the remaining interest in that partnership.  The futureexercise of such options could result in the need for significant funds.  Thosefunds may come from existing cash, third-party debt, other financing or anycombination thereof.       The Company believes that existing cash, cash provided by operations andcash available under a line of credit and its other financing commitment will besufficient to meet the Company's short-term working capital and capitalexpenditure needs.  The Company is currently negotiating a $15.0 million line ofcredit.  Although no assurances can be made, it is anticipated that this line ofcredit will become effective in 1997.  The Company believes that theaforementioned items are sufficient to meet its anticipated long-term workingcapital, capital expenditure and debt repayment needs through at least the year2001.                                       17Item 8.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTE 1.  Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting         PoliciesBusiness: Hub Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") provideintermodal transportation services utilizing third party arrangements withrailroads and drayage companies. The Company also arranges for transportation offreight by truck and performs logistics services.Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include theaccounts of Hub Group, Inc. and all entities in which the Company has more thana 50% equity ownership or otherwise exercises unilateral control. Allsignificant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers as cash equivalents all highlyliquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. Checksoutstanding, net, of approximately $474,000 and $1,548,000 at December 31, 1995and 1996, respectively, are included in accounts payable.Receivables: The Company's reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable wasapproximately $125,000 and $1,355,000 at December 31, 1995, and 1996,respectively.Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciationof property and equipment is computed using the straight-line and variousaccelerated methods at rates adequate to depreciate the cost of applicableassets over their expected useful lives: buildings and improvements 15 to 40years; leasehold improvements the shorter of useful life or lease term; computerequipment and software 3 to 5 years; furniture and equipment 3 to 10 years; andtransportation equipment and automobiles 3 to 12 years. Direct costs related tointernally developed software projects are capitalized and amortized over theexpected useful life on a straight-line basis not to exceed five years,commencing when the asset is placed into service. Maintenance and repairs arecharged to operations as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Thecost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciationthereon are removed from the accounts with any gain or loss realized upon saleor disposal charged or credited to operations.Goodwill:  Goodwill is amortized on the straight-line method over 40 years.  Onan ongoing basis, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flowsbefore interest of the operating units to which goodwill relates in order toevaluate impairment.  If impairment exists, the carrying amount of the goodwillis reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows.  Goodwill amortizationexpense was $0, $0 and approximately $525,000 for the years ended December 31,1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively.Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company's financial instruments that areexposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cashequivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash andtemporary investments with high quality financial institutions. At times, suchinvestments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Temporary investmentsare valued at the lower of cost or market and at the balance sheet datesapproximate fair market value. The Company primarily serves customers locatedthroughout the United States with no significant concentration in any oneregion. One customer in the food industry accounted for approximately 28% and30% of revenue in 1994 and 1995, respectively. The same customer accounted forless than 10% of revenue in 1996. Another customer in the consumer householdproducts industry accounted for 11.2% of revenue in 1995. This customeraccounted for less than 10% of revenue in 1994 and 1996. The Company reviews acustomer's credit history before extending credit. In addition, the Companyroutinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as aconsequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable risk is limited.Revenue Recognition:  Revenue represents sales of services to customers.Revenue is recognized based on relative transit time.                                       24 Income Taxes: Prior to March 18, 1996, the Company had elected to be taxed as anS corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The income of an S corporation istaxable to its stockholders rather than the Company itself. Income tax expenseincurred prior to March 18, 1996, represents Illinois replacement tax. On March18, 1996, the Company became a taxable C corporation. The pro forma provisionfor additional income taxes was calculated assuming the Company was operating asa taxable C corporation since January 1, 1994. The Company accounts for certainincome and expense items differently for financial reporting and income taxpurposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on thedifference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets andliabilities applying enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in whichthe differences are expected to reverse.Earnings Per Share: Earnings per share are based on the average quarterlyweighted average number of Class A and Class B shares of common stockoutstanding, adjusted for the assumed conversion of dilutive stock options. Incomputing the per share effect of assumed conversion, funds which would havebeen received from the exercise of options, including tax benefits assumed to berealized, are considered to have been used to purchase shares at current marketprices, and the resulting net additional shares are included in the calculationof weighted average shares outstanding.Distributions: During the period prior to March 18, 1996, the Company operatedas an S corporation and made periodic distributions of income to itsstockholders which are reflected in the accompanying statements of stockholders'equity.Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity withgenerally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities anddisclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financialstatements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reportingperiod. Actual results could differ from those estimates.Reclassifications: Certain items previously reported have been reclassified toconform with the 1996 presentation.NOTE 2.  Capital Structure          On March 8, 1995, Hub Group, Inc. was incorporated and issued 100shares of Class A common stock to the sole incorporator. On March 18, 1996, HubGroup, Inc. purchased Hub City Terminals, Inc. ("Hub Chicago") in a stock-for-stock acquisition through the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Company'sClass 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 ofaccounting and has been included in all periods presented on a historical costbasis.          Concurrent with the acquisition of Hub Chicago in March 1996, theCompany completed the initial public offering of 4,261,250 shares of its Class Acommon stock, with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $52,945,000.Coincident with the initial public offering, a selling stockholder sold1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock through a secondaryoffering. The Company did not receive any net proceeds from the sale of theshares by the selling stockholder.          Concurrent with the initial public offering, Hub Group, Inc., togetherwith its new wholly owned subsidiary, Hub Chicago, acquired with cash acontrolling interest in each of 27 operating partnerships (collectively referredto as "Hub Partnerships"). The combined financial statements of HubPartnerships, the predecessor to the majority of the business of the Company,are included under Item 14 of the Company's Form 10-K, filed with the Securitiesand Exchange Commission.                                       25 NOTE 3.  Business Combinations          On March 18, 1996, the Company acquired a controlling interest in HubPartnerships for a total purchase price of approximately $43,309,000 in cash.The purchase price of these acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquiredand liabilities assumed based on the fair value at the date of acquisition usingthe purchase method of accounting.          The portion of the difference between fair value and historical costof individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed attributable to interestsacquired by the Company from non-control group stockholders was recorded at fairmarket value. This resulted in goodwill of approximately $17,207,000. Theremaining portion of the difference between fair value and historical costattributable to interests acquired from control group stockholders,approximately $25,764,000, has been charged to equity as purchase price inexcess of predecessor basis.          In connection with the purchase of the controlling interest in HubPartnerships, approximately $10,306,000 has been recorded as a deferred taxbenefit utilizing an assumed effective tax rate of 40% representing the taxeffect of the purchase price in excess of predecessor basis, with thecorresponding credit recorded as an increase to equity.          On May 2, 1996, the Company purchased the rights to service thecustomers of American President Lines Domestic Distribution Services, a divisionof 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. Thenotes bear interest at an annual rate of 6% with three equal annual principalpayments due beginning May 2, 1997. The acquisition was recorded using thepurchase method of accounting resulting in goodwill of approximately $8,090,000.

The number of shares ofClass A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1996 Incentive Plan was450,000. Under the 1996 Incentive Plan, stock options, and stock appreciationrights, restricted stock and performance units may be granted for the purpose ofattracting and motivating key employees and non-employee directors of theCompany. Concurrent with the adoption of the Incentive Plan the Company granted326,500 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 initialpublic offering price. The options granted to key employees vest ratably over afive-year period and expire 10 years after the date they were granted. Theoptions granted to the non-employee directors vest ratably over a three-yearperiod and expire 10 years after the date of grant. As of December 31, 1996,none of the options granted have vested. The Company canceled 5,000 optionsduring 1996. There were 92,500 shares available to be granted as of December 31,1996.          The Company currently utilizes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25 in its accounting for stock options. In October, 1995, the FinancialAccounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting StandardsNo. 123 ("Statement 123"), "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation." Theaccounting method as provided in the pronouncement is not required to beadopted; however, it is encouraged. The Company is not adopting the accountingprovisions of Statement 123. Had the Company accounted for its stock options inaccordance with Statement 123, pro forma net income and pro forma earnings pershare would have been approximately $6,599,000 and $1.30 for the year endedDecember 31, 1996. The pro forma disclosure is not likely to be indicative ofpro forma results which may be expected in future years because of the fact thatoptions vest over several years, pro forma compensation expense is recognized asthe options vest and additional awards may also be granted.          For purposes of determining the pro forma effect of these options, thefair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming no dividend yield, a risk free interestrate of 6.5%, a volatility factor of 25.0% and an expected life of 6.0 years.The weighted average fair value of options granted under the Company's 1996Incentive Plan for the year ended December 31, 1996, was $5.54. NOTE 10.  Profit-Sharing Plan          The Company has numerous profit-sharing plans and trusts under section401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, for every dollar the employeecontributes, the Company will contribute an additional $.20 up to $100. Inaddition, the Company may make a profit sharing contribution at its discretion.Historically, the Company has contributed an amount equal to 3% of eachparticipant's compensation up to a maximum of $4,500. The Company'scontributions to the Plan were approximately $57,000, $50,000 and $704,000 for1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.NOTE 11.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'smanagement.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financialstatements based on our audits.          We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditingstandards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtainreasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of materialmisstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supportingthe amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The Company also arranges for transportation of freight by truck andperforms logistics services.Principles of Combinations:  These combined financial statements include thefinancial statements of 26 S corporations and one partnership which aresubstantially all under common ownership control (collectively referred to asthe "Company" or "Hub Partnerships"). The financial statements of HubPartnerships are presented herein to reflect the financial condition and resultsof operations of Hub Partnerships as of and for the periods in which HubPartnerships was the predecessor to the business acquired by Hub Group, Inc., asrequired pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and ExchangeCommission. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have beeneliminated.Cash and Cash Equivalents:  The Company considers as cash equivalents all highlyliquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.Receivables:  The Company has recorded a reserve for uncollectible accountsreceivable of approximately $898,000 at December 31, 1995.Property and Equipment:  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciationof property and equipment is computed using the straight-line and variousaccelerated methods at rates adequate to depreciate the cost of applicableassets over their expected useful lives: buildings and improvements 15 to 40years; leasehold improvements the shorter of useful life or lease term;furniture and equipment 3 to 10 years; and transportation equipment 3 to 12years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred and majorimprovements are capitalized. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposedof and the accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts withany gain or loss realized upon sale or disposal charged or credited tooperations.Concentration of Credit Risk:  The Company's financial instruments that areexposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cashequivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash andtemporary investments with high quality financial institutions. At times, suchinvestments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Temporary investmentsare valued at the lower of cost or market and at the balance sheet date,approximates fair market value. The Company primarily serves customers locatedthroughout the United States with no significant concentration in any oneregion. The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit.In addition, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of itscustomers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivablerisk is limited.Revenue Recognition:  Revenue represents sales of services to customers.Revenue is recognized based on relative transit time.Income Taxes:  The majority of the entities included in Hub Partnerships haveelected to be taxed as S Corporations. By this election, income of an SCorporation is taxable to the stockholders rather than the Company itself.Income tax expense primarily represents applicable state income taxes of thosestates that do not recognize Subchapter S Corporations or states which imposetaxes on S Corporation income.Distributions:  The Company makes periodic distributions of income which arereflected in the accompanying statements of stockholders' equity.                                      F-7 Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity withgenerally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities anddisclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financialstatements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reportingperiod. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications:  Certain items previously reported have been reclassified toconform with the 1996 presentation.NOTE 2.

(2) (i) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall (A)          first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the          principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the          Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and          the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 4.2 and (B) second, in the          event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be          allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section          6.3(b)(1)(i), and (ii) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss          attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the          Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of "book" gain or          loss is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement.

(c) Power of General Partner to Elect Method. To the extent Treasury     Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code permit a     partnership to utilize alternative methods to eliminate the disparities     between the agreed value of property and its adjusted basis, the General     Partner shall have the authority to elect the method to be used by the     Partnership and such election shall be binding on all Partners.

(d) Employee Benefit Plans. The General Partner, in its sole and     absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partner, may     propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans     funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the General     Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate     of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly,     for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any of the     Partnership's Subsidiaries.     Section 7.7  Indemnification.                  ---------------           (a) General. The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and     against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several,     expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines,     settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands,     actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or     investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership as set     forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is     threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is     established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to     the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad     faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the     Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money,     property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the     Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was     unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or     settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet     the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7(a). The     termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo     contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to     judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a     manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7(a). Any     indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the     assets of the Partnership.          (b) In Advance of Final Disposition. Reasonable expenses incurred by     an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by     the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon     receipt by the Partnership of (a) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee     of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of conduct     necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this     Section 7.7 has been met, and (b) a written undertaking by or on behalf of     the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined     that the standard of conduct has not been met.                                      25           (c) Other Than by This Section. The indemnification provided by this     Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee     or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any     vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue     as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity.          (d) Insurance. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, on     behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner     shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or     expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the     Partnership's activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have     the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the     provisions of this Agreement.          (e) Employee Benefit Plans. For purposes of this Section 7.7, the     Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as     fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its     duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves     services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan;     excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit     plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning     of Section 7.7(a); and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with     respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a     purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants     and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is     not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.          (f) No Personal Liability for Limited Partner. In no event may an     Indemnitee subject the Limited Partner to personal liability by reason of     the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.          (g) Interested Transactions.  An Indemnitee shall not be denied     indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the     Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the     indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the     terms of this Agreement.          (h) Binding Effect.  The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the     benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and     administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit     of any other Persons.     Section 7.8 Liability of the General Partner.                 --------------------------------           (a) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in     this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary     damages to the Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or     liabilities incurred as a result of                                      26      errors in judgment or of any act or omission, unless (i) the General     Partner actually received an improper benefit in money, property or     services (in which case, such liability shall be for the amount of the     benefit in money, property or services actually received), or (ii) the     General Partner's action or failure to act was the result of active and     deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action being     adjudicated.          (b) No Obligation to Consider Interests of Limited Partner. The     Limited Partner expressly acknowledges that the General Partner is acting     on behalf of the Partnership and the sole stockholder of the General     Partner collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to     consider the separate interests of the Limited Partner (including, without     limitation, the tax consequences to the Limited Partner) in deciding     whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions     which the General Partner has undertaken in good faith on behalf of the     Partnership, and that the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary     damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived     by the Limited Partner in connection with such decisions, unless (i) the     General Partner actually received an improper benefit in money, property or     services (in which case, such liability shall be for the amount of the     benefit in money, property or services actually received), or (ii) the     General Partner's action or failure to act was the result of active and     deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action being     adjudicated.          (c) Acts of Agents.

Section 7.7  Indemnification.                                      24           (a)  General. The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and     against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several,     expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines,     settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands,     actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or     investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership as set     forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is     threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is     established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to     the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad     faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the     Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money,     property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the     Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was     unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or     settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet     the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7(a). The     termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo     contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to     judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a     manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7(a). Any     indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the     assets of the Partnership.          (b)  In Advance of Final Disposition. Reasonable expenses incurred by     an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by     the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon     receipt by the Partnership of (a) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee     of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of conduct     necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this     Section 7.7 has been met, and (b) a written undertaking by or on behalf of     the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined     that the standard of conduct has not been met.          (c)  Other Than by This Section. The indemnification provided by this     Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee     or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any     vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue     as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity.          (d)  Insurance. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance,     on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner     shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or     expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the     Partnership's activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have     the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the     provisions of this Agreement.          (e)  Employee Benefit Plans. For purposes of this Section 7.7, the     Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as     fiduciary of an employee                                      25      benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the     Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it     to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes     assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant     to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of Section     7.7(a); and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an     employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose     reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and     beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not     opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.          (f)  No Personal Liability for Limited Partners. In no event may an     Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of     the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.          (g)  Interested Transactions. An Indemnitee shall not be denied     indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the     Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the     indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the     terms of this Agreement.          (h)  Binding Effect. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the     benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and     administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit     of any other Persons.     Section 7.8  Liability of the General Partner.          (a)  General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in     this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary     damages to the Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or     liabilities incurred as a result of errors in judgment or of any act or     omission, unless (i) the General Partner actually received an improper     benefit in money, property or services (in which case, such liability shall     be for the amount of the benefit in money, property or services actually     received), or (ii) the General Partner's action or failure to act was the     result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of     action being adjudicated.          (b)  No Obligation to Consider Interests of Limited Partners. The     Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting     on behalf of the Partnership and the sole stockholder of the General     Partner collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to     consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without     limitation, the tax consequences to the Limited Partners) in deciding     whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions     which the General Partner has undertaken in good faith on behalf of the     Partnership, and that the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary     damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived     by the Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, unless (i) the     General Partner actually received an improper benefit in money, property or                                      26      services (in which case, such liability shall be for the amount of the     benefit in money, property or services actually received), or (ii) the     General Partner's action or failure to act was the result of active and     deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action being     adjudicated.          (c) Acts of Agents. Subject to its obligations and duties as General     Partner set forth in Section 7.1(a) hereof, the General Partner may     exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any     of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through     its agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct     or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.          (d) Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, modification or repeal of his     Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not     in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner's liability to the     Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect     immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to     claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part,     prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such     claims may arise or be asserted.
