THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 -- INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The unaudited consolidated
financial statements of The Hallwood Group Incorporated (the "Company") have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, although, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures thereto
included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Continuing Operations. The Company's real estate activities are conducted
primarily through wholly-owned subsidiaries. One of the subsidiaries serves as
the general partner of Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P. ("HRP"), a publicly traded
master limited partnership. Revenues are generated through the Company's pro
rata share of earnings of HRP on the equity method of accounting and the receipt
of management fees, leasing commissions and other fees from HRP and third
parties.
The textile products operations are conducted through the Company's wholly
owned Brookwood Companies Incorporated ("Brookwood") subsidiary. Brookwood is an
integrated service firm that develops and produces innovative fabrics and
related products through specialized finishing, treating and coating processes.
In 2000, Brookwood formed a joint venture with an unrelated third party that is
also in a textile related industry. The joint venture has been developing
advanced lightweight, breathable, water resistant fabrics which have been well
received by customers. Continued development of these fabrics for military,
industrial and consumer applications is a key element of Brookwood's business
plan.
Discontinued Operations. In December 2000, the Company decided to
discontinue and dispose of its hotel segment, which at that time consisted of
five properties; accordingly, hotel operations were reclassified as a
discontinued operation. Two hotels were disposed of in 2001, one hotel was sold
in January 2002 and the lender completed a foreclosure on one hotel in June
2002. The Company determined in late 2001 that it would retain and continue to
operate a leasehold interest in one hotel. Balance sheet presentation for the
two hotels which have been disposed of in 2002 are reported as "Hotels held for
sale" and the retained leasehold interest as "Hotel held for use."
In March 2001, the Company announced the sale of its energy affiliate;
accordingly, energy operations were reclassified as a discontinued operation.
Prior to the disposition, the Company's energy revenues consisted of its pro
rata share of earnings of Hallwood Energy Corporation ("Hallwood Energy"), a
publicly traded oil and gas company, accounted for on the equity method of
accounting.
New Accounting Pronouncements. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141 - Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141") became effective July 1, 2001
and prohibits pooling-of-interests accounting for acquisitions. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
("SFAS No. 142") became effective January 1, 2002 and specifies that goodwill
and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead will be
subject to periodic impairment testing. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 142 had
an impact on the Company's financial statements to the extent that the
unamortized amount of negative goodwill associated with the Company's equity
investment in HRP was accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 - Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations ("SFAS No. 143") was issued in June 2001, and will be
adopted by the Company on January 1, 2003. This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The
Company has not yet determined the effect adopting SFAS No. 143 will have on its
financial statements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 - Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144") was issued in
August 2001, and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. This Statement
supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and
for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ", and the accounting and reporting
provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Page 12
THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
(UNAUDITED)
Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions", for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously
defined in that Opinion). This statement retains the requirements of SFAS No.
121 to (a) recognize an impairment loss, only if the carrying amount of a
long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and (b)
measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and
fair value of the asset. This statement requires that a long-lived asset to be
abandoned, exchanged for a similar productive asset, or distributed to owners in
a spinoff be considered held and used until it is disposed of. The accounting
model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale is used for all long-lived
assets, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. The accounting model
retains the requirement of SFAS No. 121 to measure a long-lived asset classified
as held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to
sell and to cease depreciation. This statement requires that the current and
historical results of disposed properties and assets held for sale be classified
as discontinued operations. The Company early adopted the requirements of this
statement and accordingly, hotel assets disposed of or to be disposed of have
been reclassified as discontinued operations for each of the periods presented.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 - Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections ("SFAS No. 145") was issued in May 2002 and is effective for fiscal
years beginning and transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. This statement
rescinds certain authoritative pronouncements and amends, clarifies or describes
the applicability of others. This will result in the reclassification, required
with the 2003 first quarter, of previously reported extraordinary gains (losses)
from early extinguishment of debt into continuing operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 - Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS No. 146) was issued in June
2002, and will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2003. This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting of costs associated with exit or
disposal activities. The Company has not yet determined the effect adopting SFAS
No. 146 will have on its financial statements.
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications including the gross up of
certain real estate revenues that were previously netted, have been made to
prior year amounts to conform to the classifications used in the current year.

======== ============= ============= ============ ============
At September 30, 2002, Hallwood Realty, LLC ("Hallwood Realty") and HWG,
LLC, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, owned a 1% general partner
interest and a 21% limited partner interest in its HRP affiliate, respectively.
The Company accounts for its investment in HRP using the equity method of
accounting. Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company recorded amortization of the
amount that the Company's share of the underlying equity in net assets of HRP
exceeded its investment on the straight line basis over nineteen years, which
was $568,000 as of January 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the
unamortized amount of such "negative goodwill" has been recorded as income from
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company also records
non-cash adjustments for the elimination of intercompany profits with a
corresponding adjustment to equity income, its pro-rata share of HRP's partner
capital transactions with corresponding adjustments to additional paid-in
capital and its pro-rata share of HRP's comprehensive income. The cumulative
amount of such non-cash adjustments, from the original date of investment
through September 30, 2002, resulted in a $1,736,000 decrease in the carrying
value of the HRP investment. In 2001, the Company also recognized an
extraordinary loss of $108,000 from the recognition of the Company's pro rata
share of HRP's extraordinary loss from early extinguishment of debt and a
$40,000 loss from the Company's pro rata share of HRP's loss from cumulative
effect of SFAS No. 133 adoption.

The carrying value of the Company's general partner interest of HRP
includes the value of intangible rights to provide asset management and property
management services. The Company amortizes that portion of the general partner
interest ascribed to the management rights over a ten-year period ending in
October 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 such
amortization was $504,000 in each period.
As further discussed in Note 11, the Delaware Court of Chancery in July
2001 rendered its opinion regarding certain litigation involving the Company.
The court determined that the defendants, including the Company, should pay to
HRP a judgment of $3,417,000 plus pre-judgment interest of approximately
$2,891,000 from August 1995. The judgment amount, which represented the court's
determination of an underpayment by the Company for certain limited partnership
units purchased by the Company in 1995 from HRP, was considered additional
purchase price and was added to the Company's investment in the limited
partnership units. The interest component of the judgment was recorded as an
expense, net of the Company's pro rata share of the income that will be reported
by HRP. In October 2001, the Company paid $6,405,000, including post-judgment
interest, to HRP, subject to an arrangement that it be returned in full or part
if the judgment is modified or reversed on appeal.
The Company has pledged 300,397 HRP limited partner units to collateralize
the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility and the remaining 30,035 units to
secure all of the capital leases.
The quoted market price per unit and the Company's carrying value per
limited partner unit (AMEX symbol HRY) at September 30, 2002 were $87.95 and
$36.60, respectively. The general partner interest is not publicly traded.
NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENT IN HEC
In January 2002, the Company invested $1,500,000 in a newly-formed private
energy company - Hallwood Energy Corporation ("HEC"). An additional investment
of $1,500,000 was made in September 2002. HEC is presently in the developmental
stage, having drilled four test wells. HEC is also in the process of
constructing a gathering system, production facilities and commercial pipeline
tap to transport any production from these wells and any future wells. Until
these transportation facilities are completed, HEC is not able to determine the
ultimate productivity of these wells. The Company owns approximately 24% of HEC
and accounts for the investment using the equity method of accounting. It
reported an equity loss, representing its pro rata share of HEC's net loss, of
$44,000 and $121,000 in the three month and nine month periods ended September
30, 2002, respectively.

Further information regarding loans payable is provided below:
Textile Products
Revolving Credit Facility. In December 1999, the Company's Brookwood
subsidiary entered into a revolving credit facility in an amount up to
$17,000,000 with Key Bank National Association ("Key Credit Agreement") to
replace its former credit facility. Availability for direct borrowings and
letter of credit obligations under the Key Credit Agreement are limited to the
lesser of the facility amount or the borrowing base as defined. Borrowings are
collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory imported under trade letters of
credit, certain finished goods inventory, certain machinery and equipment and
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Brookwood and its
subsidiaries.
The Key Credit Agreement has been extended through January 2, 2004, bears
interest at Brookwood's option of prime plus 0.25% (5.00% at September 30, 2002)
or Libor plus 3.25%, contains covenants, including minimum net income levels by
quarter, maintenance of certain financial ratios, restrictions on dividends and
repayment of debt or cash transfers to the parent company.
Cash dividends and tax sharing payments to the parent company are
contingent upon Brookwood's compliance with the covenants contained in the loan
agreement. At September 30, 2002, Brookwood had an additional $1,224,000 of
borrowing base availability under its revolving line of credit facility.
Acquisition Credit Facility. The Key Credit Agreement provides for a
$2,000,000 acquisition revolving credit line. This facility bears interest at
Brookwood's option of prime plus 1.00% (5.75% at September 30, 2002) or Libor
plus 3.25%. Brookwood has borrowed $1,000,000 under this facility.
Equipment Credit Facility. The Key Credit Agreement provides for a
$2,000,000 equipment revolving credit line. The facility bears interest at Libor
plus 2.75%. During 2000 Brookwood borrowed $1,000,000 under this facility, and
in September 2000 converted that amount into a term loan, at a fixed rate of
9.37%, with a maturity of October 2005 and a monthly principal and interest
payment of $20,938. During 2002 Brookwood borrowed an additional $542,000 under
this facility and in February 2002 converted that amount into a term loan, at a
variable rate
Page 15
THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
(UNAUDITED)
of Libor plus 3.25% (5.10% at September 30, 2002), with a maturity date of March
2007 and a monthly principal and interest payment of $10,253. Brookwood has
$458,000 availability under this facility.
At September 30, 2002, Brookwood was in compliance with its loan covenants.
The outstanding balance of the combined Key Bank credit facilities at
September 30, 2002 was $14,502,000.
Other
Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility. In March 2002, the Company and its
HWG, LLC subsidiary entered into a $7,000,000 credit agreement with First Bank &
Trust , N.A. The facility is comprised of a $3,000,000 term loan and a
$4,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "Term Loan and Revolving Credit
Facility").
Term loan proceeds were used in part to repay a $1,500,000 convertible loan
from stockholder in March 2002. The term loan bears interest at a fixed rate of
7%, matures April 1, 2005, and is fully amortizing requiring a monthly payment
of $92,631. The outstanding principal balance of the loan at September 30, 2002
was $2,551,000.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at the Company's option of
prime plus 0.50% or Libor plus 3.25%, and matures April 1, 2005. Collateral for
the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility is 300,397 HRP limited partner
units, and contains various financial and non-financial covenants, including the
maintenance of financial ratios, restrictions on new indebtedness and the
payment of dividends. The Company has not drawn any funds on the revolving
credit facility, and therefore has $4,000,000 of unused borrowing capacity.
At September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with its loan
covenants.
Capital Lease Obligations. During 1999, the Company's Brock Suite Hotels
subsidiaries entered into three separate five-year capital lease agreements for
furniture, fixtures and building improvements at a cost of $2,085,000 for three
GuestHouse Suites Plus properties. The Company has pledged 30,035 HRP limited
partner units as additional collateral to secure the leases. The lease terms
commenced January 2000 and expire in December 2004. The combined monthly lease
payment is $46,570 and the effective interest rate is 12.18%. Interest expense
in the amount of $112,000, representing the full interest costs through
expiration of the capital leases associated with the two disposed hotels, was
accrued at June 30, 2002, as a reduction of gain from extinguishment of debt.
The outstanding principal and interest balance at September 30, 2002 was
$1,186,000.
Convertible Loan from Stockholder. In order to provide sufficient funds to
meet the Company's cash flow requirements and maintain compliance with the loan
covenants contained in the former Senior Secured Term Loan, the Company entered
into three loan agreements with an entity associated with its chairman and
principal stockholder, Anthony J. Gumbiner. Two loans were repaid in December
2001 and the remaining loan was repaid in March 2002 in the amount of
$1,648,000, which represented principal of $1,500,000 and accrued interest of
$148,000.
NOTE 5 -- DEBENTURES
10% Collateralized Subordinated Debentures. The 10% Collateralized
Subordinated Debentures are listed on The New York Stock Exchange. For financial
reporting purposes a pro-rata portion of an unamortized gain in the original
amount of $353,000, allocated to the 10% Debentures from a previous debenture
issue, is being amortized over its term. As a result, the effective interest
rate is 8.9%.

NOTE 6 -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - HOTEL ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In December 2000, the Company decided to discontinue and dispose of its
hotel segment, principally by allowing its non-recourse debtholders to assume
ownership of the properties through foreclosure or by selling or otherwise
disposing of its hotel properties. The Company's hotel segment consisted of
three owned properties and two leased properties.
The Company determined that it would retain its leasehold interest in the
GuestHouse Suites hotel in Huntsville, Alabama. The Company continues to operate
the hotel, subject to a lease concession from the owner. Accordingly, this hotel
has been classified as hotel asset held for use, and prior year operating
results have been reclassified to continuing operations in the other segment.
The carrying value of the leasehold interest was $286,000 and $331,000, at
September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
In January 2002, with assistance and consent of the mortgage lender, the
Company sold the GuestHouse Suites hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma for $3,000,000. The
Company received no cash proceeds from the sale. In connection with the sale,
the parties entered into a loan modification and assumption agreement which,
among other terms, included a release that discharged the Company from any
further loan obligation. The Company recognized a gain from extinguishment of
debt of $2,552,000, before a deferred tax charge of $875,000 in the 2002 first
quarter, which has been classified within discontinued operations.
In February 2002, the mortgage lender for the GuestHouse Suites hotel in
Greenville, South Carolina obtained a court judgement of foreclosure. In
connection with the foreclosure, the lender waived its right to a deficiency
judgement against the Company. The lender completed the foreclosure in June 2002
and the Company recognized a gain from extinguishment of debt in the amount of
$3,237,000, before a deferred tax charge of $925,000 in the 2002 second quarter,
which had been classified within discontinued operations.
A summary of the non-recourse loans payable associated with the hotels held
for sale is detailed below (in thousands):

============
The Company is a defendant in two lawsuits in connection with the
disposition of hotel properties in 2001. Plaintiffs allege violations of
franchise and lease agreements and seek damages of approximately $1,500,000. The
owner of the Longboat Key Holiday Inn hotel has made a claim against the Company
under a guaranty which is scheduled for mediation in February 2003, and the
franchiser of the Embassy Suites hotel has made a claim for liquidated damages
under a franchise contract which is in mediation. Management believes that the
claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the cases.

NOTE 7 -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - ENERGY
In March 2001, the Company agreed to sell its investment in its Hallwood
Energy affiliate, which represented the Company's energy operations, to Pure
Resources II, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Pure Resources, Inc.,
subject to Hallwood Energy's shareholder approval which was obtained in May
2001. The all-cash transaction was structured as a first step tender offer
followed by a cash merger to acquire all remaining shares of Hallwood Energy.
The Company received $18,000,000 for the tender of its 1,440,000 shares of
common stock in May 2001 and received an additional amount of $7,250,000,
pursuant to the terms of a noncompetition agreement upon the completion of the
merger in June 2001.
Under the noncompetition agreement, the Company agreed to refrain from
taking certain actions without the prior written consent of Pure and Hallwood
Energy. These covenants were made by the Company in consideration of the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the payment by Pure to the
Company. For a period of three years after the effective date of the merger
agreement, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, engage in oil and gas
activities in certain geographic areas without the prior consent of Pure. The
Company has also agreed to keep Hallwood Energy's confidential and proprietary
information strictly confidential.
Accordingly, energy operations have been segregated from the Company's
continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations. A summary of the
income from discontinued energy operations is detailed below (in thousands):

The amount of the deferred tax asset (net of valuation allowance) was
$4,201,000 at September 30, 2002 (all of which is attributable to continuing
operations). The deferred tax asset arises principally from the anticipated
utilization of the Company's NOLs and tax credits from the implementation of
various tax planning strategies, which include the potential sale of certain
real estate investments, if necessary, to supplement income from operations to
fully realize the net recorded tax benefits before their expiration.
State tax expense is an estimate based upon taxable income allocated to
those states in which the Company does business, at their respective tax rates.

NOTE 11 -- LITIGATION, CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Reference is made to Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements
contained in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Beginning in 1997, the Company and its HRP affiliate have been defendants
in two lawsuits that were brought by Gotham Partners, L.P. in the Delaware Court
of Chancery. The first suit filed in February 1997, styled Gotham Partners, L.P.
v. Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P. and Hallwood Realty Corporation (C.A.
No.15578), sought access to certain books and records of HRP and was
subsequently settled, allowing certain access. The suit was dismissed in April
2001. The second action, filed in June 1997, styled Gotham Partners, L.P. v.
Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P., et al (C.A. No.15754), against the Company, HRP,
HRC and the directors of HRC, alleges claims of breach of fiduciary duties,
breach of HRP's partnership agreement and fraud in connection with certain
transactions involving HRP's limited partnership units in the mid 1990's. The
Company is alleged to have aided and abetted the alleged breaches. In June 2000,
after completing fact discovery, all parties moved for summary judgment on
several issues. In September and October 2000, the Delaware court issued three
separate written opinions resolving the summary judgment motions. In the
opinions, the court ruled that trial would be required as to all issues, except
that (i) Gotham was found to have standing to pursue its derivative claims; (ii)
defendants were entitled to judgment dismissing the fraud claim; (iii) the
general partner was entitled to judgment dismissing the breach of fiduciary duty
claims brought against it; and (iv) the general partner's outside directors were
entitled to judgment dismissing all claims brought against them. A five-day
trial was held in January 2001. In July 2001, the Delaware Court of Chancery
rendered its opinion. In its decision, the court determined that an option plan
and a sale of units to the Company in connection with a reverse unit split
implemented by HRP in 1995 were in compliance with HRP's partnership agreement.
The court also found that the sale of units to the Company in connection with a
1995 odd-lot offer by HRP did not comply with certain procedures required by the
HRP partnership agreement. The court ruled that the defendants other than HRP
pay a judgment in the amount of $3,417,000, plus pre-judgment interest of
approximately $2,891,000 from August 1995 to HRP. The judgment amount represents
what the court determined was an underpayment by the Company. In August 2001,
the plaintiff and certain defendants appealed the Court of Chancery's judgment
to the Delaware Supreme Court. In October 2001, the Company paid $6,405,000,
including post judgment interest, to HRP, subject to an arrangement that it be
returned in full or part if the judgment is modified or reversed on appeal. Oral
arguments were heard in February 2002 and a rehearing en banc was held in March
2002. In August 2002, the Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court
that the remaining defendants other than HRP are jointly and severally liable to
HRP. The Supreme Court reversed the trial court's determination of damages, and
remanded the case to the trial court to fashion appropriate relief. A hearing on
the remand proceedings was held before the Court of Chancery on October 25,
2002. Since the appellate court reversed the judgment, any subsequent ruling by
the trial court on remand may be more or less favorable to the Company.
In February 2000, HRP filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York styled Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P. v.
Gotham Partners, L.P., et al (Civ. No. 00 CV1115) alleging violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by certain purchasers of HRP's limited
partnership units, including Gotham Partners, L.P., Gotham Partners, III L.P.,
Private Management Group, Inc., Interstate Properties, Steven Roth and EFO
Realty, Inc., by virtue of those purchasers' misrepresentations and/or omissions
in connection with filings required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The complaint further alleged that the defendants, by acquiring more than 15% of
the outstanding HRP limited partnership units, have triggered certain rights
under its Unit Purchase Rights Agreement, for which HRP was seeking declaratory
relief. HRP sought various forms of relief, including declaratory judgments,
divestiture, corrective disclosures, a "cooling-off" period and damages,
including costs and disbursements. Discovery was completed in December 2000 and
trial was held in February 2001. In February 2001, the court rendered a decision
in favor of the defendants and the court ordered the complaint dismissed. HRP
filed a Notice of Appeal in March 2001 with respect to the February 2001
dismissal of the complaint and other matters. All parties filed briefs with the
Second Circuit. Oral arguments were heard in March 2002. In April 2002, the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld the lower court's ruling in favor
of the defendants. In April 2002, HRP filed with the court a Petition for
Rehearing en banc with respect to the April 2002 decision. In June 2002 the
Second Circuit denied the petition. HRP has not sought further appellate review
and the determination in favor of defendants is now final.

In December 1999, the Company deposited $900,000 into an escrow account to
secure the maximum amount which could be payable by the Company in a lawsuit
brought by a former promissory note holder, styled Corporate Property Associates
6 & Corporate Property Associates 7 vs. The Hallwood Group Incorporated (C.A.
No. 15661). The trial was held in June 2001 in the Delaware Court of Chancery.
The parties submitted post-trial briefings in September 2001. In February 2002,
the court rendered its decision in favor of the Company. In March 2002, the
court entered an order that provides for the return of approximately $974,000,
including accrued interest, to the Company from the escrow account. The
noteholder filed an appeal in April 2002. The parties filed their appeal and
reply briefs and oral arguments were heard before the Delaware Supreme Court in
September 2002. A rehearing en banc was held on November 13, 2002. The Supreme
Court has not yet issued its ruling.
The Company is currently a defendant in two lawsuits in connection with the
disposition of two hotel properties. Plaintiffs allege violations of franchise
and lease agreements and seek damages of approximately $1,500,000. The owner of
the Longboat Key Holiday Inn hotel has made a claim against the Company under a
guaranty which is in discovery, and is scheduled for mediation in February 2003,
and the franchiser of the Embassy Suites hotel has made a claim for liquidated
damages under a franchise contract which is in mediation. Management believes
that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the cases.
Management believes that the resolution of the aforementioned litigation
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition ,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In December 1999 the Company distributed certain assets, and incurred a
contingent obligation, under the agreement to separate the interests of its
former president and director (the "Separation Agreement"). Interest on the
contingent obligation was imputed at 12.75% through December 31, 2001. In
December 2001, the Company accrued an additional $500,000 under this agreement,
all of which is expected to be paid in 2002. The contingent obligation of
$3,125,000 at September 30, 2002, is the amount of all remaining payments under
the Separation Agreement and is included in other accrued expenses.
In February 2000, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired
the assets of a company in a textile products-related industry. The purchase
price was $1,450,000 in cash plus contingent payments of up to $3,000,000 based
on specified levels of earnings over the next four years. Effective December 31,
2001, in consideration of 36 monthly payments aggregating approximately
$375,000, the contingent obligation had been reduced to a percentage of cash
flow from the acquired subsidiaries, as defined, for the remaining years under
this agreement.
In October 2002, Brookwood entered into an agreement with its joint venture
partner to acquire the remaining fifty percent interest in the joint venture.
Among other things, terms include payment of $1,000,000, to be borrowed under
Brookwood's revolving credit facility, and the issuance of a two-year promissory
note, payable quarterly beginning January 2003, for an amount to be mutually
agreed upon by the parties. Completion of the transaction is subject to various
approvals.

NOTE 13 -- CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLEs
SFAS No. 142 became effective January 1, 2002 and specifies that goodwill
and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead will be
subject to periodic impairment testing. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 142 by
the Company resulted in the recording of income from the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle in the amount of $568,000, which represented the
unamortized amount of negative goodwill associated with the Company's equity
investment in HRP.
During 2001, management conducted an analysis of the carrying value of
certain intangible assets related to the textile products segment and recorded
an impairment charge of $1,446,000 as of December 31, 2001. The Company no
longer has any recorded goodwill or intangible assets that would be subject to
amortization or impairment testing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported net income of $1,283,000 for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2002, compared to a net loss of $80,000 in 2001. Net income for
the nine month periods was $8,043,000 and $8,759,000, receptively.
Income from continuing operations was $1,298,000 in the quarter, compared
to $437,000 in 2001. Revenue from continuing operations for the 2002 third
quarter was $21,088,000, compared to $18,431,000 in 2001. Income and revenue
from continuing operations for the nine months in 2002 was $3,756,000 and
$71,329,000, compared to a loss of $618,000 and revenue of $60,596,000 in 2001.
OVERVIEW
The Company had been engaged in four business segments - real estate,
textile products, energy and hotels. During 2001 the Company sold its energy
investment, recording an $8.7 million gain and generating net cash proceeds of
$11.1 million, and commenced divestiture of its hotel operations. The Company
has disposed of all of its hotel properties, apart from one leased property held
for use which it continues to operate. The disposition of the energy and hotel
business segments significantly improved the Company's liquidity position by the
cash generated from sale of the energy investment and reduction of cash required
to fund hotel operations. Future results are largely dependent on the remaining
real estate and textile products business segments. Apart from executive level
support, both segments operate autonomously utilizing separate management teams
and operating systems.
Fee income from real estate operations has remained consistent in recent
years, with an occasional spike in lease fees due to the execution of a large
lease or development fee due to completion of a major project. Correspondingly,
during the same period expenses have been fairly steady, except for the
litigation expense in 2001. Cash flow from operations, excluding the litigation
expense, was $4.5 million, $4.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the
three years ended December 31, 2001. Future cash flows are largely dependent on
the leasing, development and management activities of the Company's subsidiaries
on behalf of HRP.
The Company continues to face litigation risk related to its real estate
operations, as the plaintiff in the aforementioned matter appealed the court's
award of monetary damages and seeks recision of certain transactions involving
HRP's limited partner units as a remedy. The Delaware Supreme Court reversed the
trial court's determination of damages, and remanded the case to the trial court
to fashion appropriate relief. A hearing on the remand proceedings was held
before the Court of Chancery on October 25, 2002. An adverse ruling could impact
the Company's general partner and limited partner ownership interests and
disrupt the Company's cash flow stream.
Textile products sales continue to experience severe competitive pressures
from low-cost imports. This industry has been in decline in the United States;
however, Brookwood continues to identify new market niches to replace sales lost
to importers. In addition to its existing products and proprietary technologies,
Brookwood has been developing advanced lightweight, water resistant, breathable
fabrics which have been well received by its customers. Continued development of
these fabrics for military, industrial and consumer applications is a key
element of Brookwood's business plan. The ongoing enterprise value of Brookwood
is contingent on its ability to adapt to the global textile industry; however,
there can be no assurance that the positive results of the past can be
sustained.
The textile products business is not interdependent with any of the
Company's other business operations. The parent company does not guarantee the
Brookwood bank debt and is not obligated to contribute additional capital. If
the textile products business were to deteriorate, creditors could look only to
Brookwood's assets for the satisfaction of its obligations.
The Company reentered the energy business in January 2002 through a $1.5
million investment in a newly-formed private energy company. The Company
invested an additional $1.5 million in September 2002. At September 30, 2002,
the Company holds an approximate 24% equity interest. At the present time this
company is in the development stage, having drilled four test wells. This
company is also in the process of constructing a gathering system, production
facilities and commercial pipeline tap to transport any production from these
wells and any future wells. Until these transportation facilities are completed,
HEC is not able to determine the ultimate productivity of these wells.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Following is an analysis of the results of continuing operations for the
real estate and textile products business segments, and the discontinued hotel
and energy business segments.
REAL ESTATE
The real estate segment reported income of $1,309,000 for the third quarter
and $3,835,000 for the nine month periods of 2002, compared to income of
$1,198,000 and $2,635,000 in 2001, respectively.
Revenues. Fee income of $1,532,000 for the 2002 third quarter increased by
$125,000, or 9%, from $1,407,000 in 2001. Fee income of $4,014,000 for the nine
months decreased by $1,413,000, or 26%, from $5,427,000 for the similar period
in 2001. Fees are derived from the Company's asset management, property
management, leasing and construction supervision services provided to its
Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P. affiliate, a real estate master limited
partnership ("HRP") and various third parties. The fluctuations were due
primarily to leasing and construction supervision fees, which are cyclical in
nature.
Equity income from investments in HRP represents the Company's recognition
of its pro rata share of net income reported by HRP, adjusted for the
elimination of intercompany income. For the 2002 third quarter, the Company
reported equity income of $378,000 compared to $534,000 in the prior-year
period. For the 2002 nine months, the equity income was $1,325,000, compared to
$1,702,000. The decreases resulted principally from gains from property sales by
HRP in 2001, partially offset by decreased litigation costs. The 2001 equity
income amounts were exclusive of the Company's $108,000 pro rata share of HRP's
extraordinary loss from early extinguishment of debt and its $40,000 pro rata
share of HRP's loss from cumulative effect of SFAS No. 133 adoption, both of
which were reported separately.
Expenses. Administrative expenses of $433,000 in the 2002 third quarter
decreased by $47,000, or 10%, compared to $480,000 in 2001. For the nine months,
the decrease was $630,000 to $1,000,000, from $1,630,000 in 2001. The decreases
were primarily attributable to the payments of commissions associated with
leasing income during the 2001 periods and a reduction in tenant service costs
in 2002.
Amortization expense of $168,000 for the third quarter, and $504,000 for
the nine months in both the 2002 and 2001 periods relates to Hallwood Realty's
general partner investment in HRP allocated to management rights, which is being
amortized over a ten year period ending in October 2003. At September 30, 2002
there was $728,000 of unamortized management rights investment remaining.
Litigation expense in 2001 relates to the interest portion of the judgment
accrued in June 2001 and paid in October 2001 by the Company to HRP as described
in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
TEXTILE PRODUCTS
The textile products segment reported income of $606,000 and $1,889,000 for
the third quarter and nine month periods of 2002, compared to a loss of
$(110,000) and $(83,000) for the comparable periods in 2001, respectively.
Revenue. Sales of $17,783,000 increased by $2,888,000, or 19%, in the 2002
third quarter, compared to $14,895,000 in the 2001 quarter. The comparative nine
month sales increased by $10,930,000, or 22%, to $61,535,000 from $50,605,000 in
the 2001 period. Sales included $2,034,000 and $11,621,000 to a related party
joint venture for the third quarter and nine month periods of 2002,
respectively, compared to $1,741,000 and $2,640,000 in the comparable 2001
periods. The sales increases were principally due to renewed activity in the
military business.
During 2001 Brookwood formed a joint venture with an unrelated party that
is also in a textile-related industry. The joint venture is 50% owned by each
partner who also shares equally the operating and management decision-making.
Brookwood's investment is accounted for utilizing the equity method of
accounting as it does not exercise control over the joint venture. Brookwood's
equity income from the joint venture was $434,000 in the 2002 third
Page 26

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
quarter and $1,157,000 for the nine month period, compared to $475,000 and
$577,000 in the comparable 2001 periods, respectively.
Expenses. Cost of sales of $14,916,000 increased by $2,196,000, or 17%, in
the 2002 third quarter, compared to $12,720,000 in the 2001 third quarter. The
comparative nine month cost of sales of $52,120,000 increased by $9,424,000, or
22%, compared to $42,696,000 in 2001. The increases in cost of sales were
primarily the result of the increase in sales. The higher gross profit margin
for the 2002 third quarter (16.1% vs. 14.6%) and lower margin for the nine month
periods (15.3% vs. 15.6%) resulted from differing product mixes during the
periods.
Administrative and selling expenses of $2,515,000 in the 2002 third quarter
were unchanged from the comparable 2001 quarter. The nine month amount of
$8,129,000 increased by $375,000, or 5%, from $7,754,000 in the comparable 2001
period. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in indirect and
administrative payroll costs.
Interest expense of $180,000 decreased by $65,000, or 27%, in the 2002
third quarter from $245,000 in 2001. For the nine months, interest expense of
$554,000 decreased by $261,000, or 32%, from $815,000 for the comparable 2001
period. The decreases were primarily the result of lower interest rates.
OTHER
The other segment reported a loss of $111,000 for the third quarter of
2002, compared to a loss of $379,000 in 2001. For the nine months, the other
segment reported a loss of $108,000, compared to a loss of $2,244,000 in 2001.
The 2002 three month and nine month periods included amortization of deferred
revenue from a noncompetition agreement, and 2001 included interest on the
former senior secured term loan that was repaid in May 2001.
Revenue. Amortization of deferred revenue was $605,000 and $1,813,000 in
the 2002 third quarter and nine month periods, respectively, compared to
$605,000 and $806,000 in the comparable 2001 periods, which is attributable to
the noncompetition fee received in connection with the sale of the Company's
investment in Hallwood Energy. The $7,250,000 noncompete agreement is being
amortized over the three year period beginning June 2001.
Hotel revenue, which relates entirely to the leased GuestHouse Suites Plus
hotel in Huntsville, Alabama that the Company continues to operate, was $392,000
in the 2002 third quarter and $1,290,000 for the nine months, compared to
$400,000 and $1,291,000 in the respective 2001 periods.
Interest and other income decreased by $107,000 to $8,000 for the 2002
third quarter from $115,000 in 2001. The 2001 third quarter included increased
interest income on invested funds from the sale of Hallwood Energy. The nine
month amount of $316,000 increased by $128,000 from $188,000 for the comparable
2001 period. The increase was attributable to a gain of $296,000 on the exercise
of an option and sale of a marketable security in the 2002 first quarter.
Equity loss of $44,000 for the 2002 third quarter and $121,000 for the nine
months relates to the Company's pro rata share of loss from HEC's operations
which commenced in 2002.
Expenses. Administrative expenses of $416,000 for the 2002 third quarter
decreased by $306,000, from the prior-year amount of $722,000. For the nine
months, administrative expenses decreased by $151,000 to $1,390,000 from
$1,541,000 in 2001. The decreases are primarily attributable to consulting and
other professional fees.
Hotel expenses, which include operating expenses, depreciation and interest
costs associated with the GuestHouse Suites Plus hotel in Huntsville, Alabama,
increased by $23,000, or 5%, to $449,000 in the 2002 third quarter, compared to
$426,000 in 2001. For the nine months, hotel expenses increased by $51,000 to
$1,379,000 from $1,328,000 in 2001. The increases are principally due to an
increase in the property's repairs and maintenance expense.
Page 27
THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest expense in the amount of $207,000 for the 2002 third quarter
decreased by $144,000 from the prior year amount of $351,000. For the nine
months, interest expense decreased by $1,023,000 to $637,000 from $1,660,000 in
2001. The decreases were primarily due to the May 2001 early extinguishment of
the former Senior Secured Term Loan, the repayment of the stockholder loans and
imputed interest costs in the 2001 periods associated with the Separation
Agreement, partially offset by interest costs on the new Term Loan and Revolving
Credit Facility, obtained in March 2002.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes relating to continuing operations were $506,000 for the 2002
third quarter, compared to $272,000 in 2001. The 2002 quarter included a
$390,000 non cash federal deferred charge, an $11,000 federal current charge and
$105,000 for state taxes. The 2001 quarter included a $206,000 non cash federal
deferred charge, a $36,000 federal current charge and $30,000 for state taxes.
Income taxes were $1,860,000 for the 2002 nine month period, compared to
$926,000 in 2001. The nine months in 2002 included a deferred tax charge of
$476,000 , a current tax charge of $34,000 and state tax expense of $350,000.
The 2001 nine month amount included a deferred tax charge of $740,000, a federal
current charge of $23,000 and state tax expense of $163,000. State tax expense
is an estimate based upon taxable income allocated to those states in which the
Company does business at their respective tax rates.
As of September 30, 2002, the Company had approximately $90,000,000 of
combined tax net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") and temporary differences
to reduce future federal income tax liability. Based upon the Company's
expectations and available tax planning strategies, management has determined
that taxable income will more likely than not be sufficient to utilize
approximately $12,350,000 of the NOLs prior to their ultimate expiration in the
year 2020.
Management believes that the Company has certain tax planning strategies
available, which include the potential sale of certain real estate investments
that could be implemented, if necessary, to supplement income from operations to
fully realize the net recorded tax benefits before their expiration. Management
has considered such strategies in reaching its conclusion that, more likely than
not, taxable income will be sufficient to utilize a portion of the NOLs before
expiration; however, future levels of operating income and taxable gains are
dependent upon general economic conditions and other factors beyond the
Company's control. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that sufficient
taxable income will be generated for utilization of the NOLs. Management
periodically re-evaluates its tax planning strategies based upon changes in
facts and circumstances and, accordingly, considers potential adjustments to the
valuation allowance of the deferred tax asset. Although the use of such
carryforwards could, under certain circumstances, be limited, the Company is
presently unaware of the occurrence of any event which would result in such
limitations.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - HOTELS
In December 2000, the Company decided to discontinue its hotel operations
and dispose of its hotel segment, principally by allowing its non-recourse
debtholders to assume ownership of the properties through foreclosures or by
selling or otherwise disposing of its hotel properties. The Company's former
hotel segment consisted of three owned properties and two leased properties. In
accordance with accounting standards for reporting discontinued operations,
hotel operations apart from the leasehold interest in the GuestHouse Suites Plus
hotel in Huntsville, Alabama that the Company continues to operate and has been
classified as an asset held for use, have been segregated from the Company's
continuing operations and have been reported as a single line item -- Income
Loss from Discontinued Operations, which for three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001 are presented below (in thousands):

Income (loss) from discontinued hotels operations .. $ (15) $ (419) $ 3,719 $ (409)
============ ============ ============ ============
As of June 2002, the Company completed the disposition of the four hotel
properties it had classified as discontinued operations; however, it is
currently a defendant in two lawsuits in connection with the disposition of the
hotels.
Revenue. In January 2002, with assistance and consent of the mortgage
lender, the Company sold the GuestHouse Suites hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma for
$3,000,000. The Company received no cash proceeds from the sale. In connection
with the sale, the parties entered into a loan modification and assumption
agreement which, among other terms, included a release that discharges the
Company from any further loan obligation associated with the Tulsa hotel. The
Company recognized a gain from extinguishment of debt of $2,552,000, before a
deferred tax charge of $875,000, in the 2002 first quarter. In February 2002,
the mortgage lender for the GuestHouse Suites hotel in Greenville, South
Carolina obtained a court judgement of foreclosure. In connection with the
foreclosure, the lender waived its right to a deficiency judgement against the
Company. The lender completed the foreclosure in June 2002 and the Company
recognized a gain from extinguishment of debt in the 2002 second quarter in the
amount of $3,237,000, before a deferred tax charge of $925,000. Sales of
$282,000 in the 2002 nine month period decreased by $6,784,000, from the
year-ago amount of $7,066,000. The decrease was primarily due to the February
2001 termination of the lease for the Longboat Key Holiday Inn and Suites hotel
in Sarasota, Florida and the dispositions of the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Embassy
Suites hotel in June 2001; the Tulsa GuestHouse Suites hotel in January 2002;
and the Greenville GuestHouse Suites hotel in June 2002.
Expenses. Operating expenses of $325,000 for the 2002 nine months decreased
by $5,789,000 from $6,114,000 in 2001. The decrease is primarily due to the
aforementioned dispositions. Interest expense of $183,000 in the 2002 nine month
period decreased by $1,359,000 from $1,542,000 in 2001, principally due to
principal amortization and debt extinguishment on the various hotel term loans
and the interest expense associated with capital leases at the three GuestHouse
properties. The disposition costs of $44,000 for the 2002 nine month period are
primarily legal costs associated with the disposition of the hotels.
Depreciation and amortization expense was not recorded for the periods due to
the classification of the hotel operations as a discontinued operation.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - ENERGY
In March 2001, the Company announced the sale of its investment in its
Hallwood Energy affiliate, which represented the Company's energy operations, to
Pure Resources II, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Pure Resources,
Inc., subject to Hallwood Energy's shareholder approval which was obtained in
May 2001. Accordingly, energy operations segregated from the Company's
continuing operations have been reported as a single line item - Income from
Discontinued Operations. Operations for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 are presented below (in thousands):

===========
The Company received $18,000,000 for the tender of its 1,440,000 shares of
common stock in May 2001 and recorded a gain of $8,725,000 from the sale. The
Company received an additional amount of $7,250,000, pursuant to the terms of a
noncompetition agreement that was paid by Pure upon the completion of the merger
in June 2001, which the Company began amortizing in June 2001 in the other
business segment.
The equity income in the 2001 nine month periods from investment in
Hallwood Energy of $1,837,000, represented the Company's pro rata share of
income available to common stockholders, and amortization of negative goodwill.
The Company recorded a deferred income tax benefit of $3,586,000 in the
2001 first quarter, principally due to the anticipated utilization of the
Company's NOL's from the anticipated sale of its investment in Hallwood Energy
in the 2001 second quarter. In the 2001 second quarter the Company recorded a
deferred tax expense of $2,914,000, current federal tax expense of $400,000 and
state taxes of $100,000.
Under the noncompetition agreement, the Company agreed to refrain from
taking certain actions without the prior written consent of Pure and Hallwood
Energy. These covenants were made by the Company in consideration of the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the payment by Pure to the
Company. For a period of three years after the effective date of the merger
agreement, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, engage in oil and gas
activities in certain geographic areas without the prior consent of Pure. The
Company has also agreed to keep Hallwood Energy's confidential and proprietary
information strictly confidential.
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
SFAS No. 142 became effective January 1, 2002 and specifies that goodwill
and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead will be
subject to periodic impairment testing. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 142 by
the Company resulted in the recording of income from the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle in the amount of $568,000, which represented the
unamortized amount of negative goodwill associated with the Company's equity
investment in HRP.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
HRP. The Company's real estate subsidiaries earn asset management, property
management, leasing and construction supervision fees for their management of
HRP's real estate properties. Hallwood Realty earns: (i) an asset management fee

and construction supervision fees. The management contracts with HRP expire on
June 30, 2004 and provide for: (i) a property management fee equal to 2.85% of

Hallwood Investments Limited. During 2000 and 2001, the Company entered
into loan agreements totaling $4,000,000 with Hallwood Investments Limited, an
entity with which Mr. Gumbiner is associated. Several factors contributed to the
Company's cash flow needs at the time, including difficulties experienced by the
Company's hotel operations and restriction on the availability of distributions
and payments from Brookwood. The loans bore an interest rate of 10% and were
repaid in December 2001 and March 2002.
Hallwood Energy Corporation. In January 2002, the Company invested
$1,500,000 in a newly-formed private energy company - Hallwood Energy
Corporation ("HEC"). An additional investment of $1,500,000 was made in
September 2002. The Company owns approximately 24% of HEC and accounts for the
investment using the equity method of accounting. Certain of the Company's
current officers and directors and certain officers and directors of its former
Hallwood Energy affiliate are investors in the new privately-held entity.
Brookwood. In 2000, Brookwood formed a joint venture with an unrelated
third party that is also in a textile related industry. Brookwood is a 50% joint
venture partner. The joint venture has been developing advanced lightweight,
water resistant, breathable fabrics. Brookwood reported sales to the joint
venture of $2,640,000 and $11,621,000 for the three month and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared to $1,741,000 and $2,034,000 in
the comparable 2001 periods.

The Company's new Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility acquired in
March 2002, and 10% Debentures require compliance with various loan covenants
and financial ratios, which, if not met, will trigger a default. The Term Loan
and Revolving Credit Facility requires a minimum debt service coverage ratio, as
defined, for each rolling four quarter period, a senior leverage ratio, as
defined, and a minimum collateral value coverage. Additionally, Brookwood's
credit agreement requires compliance with various loan covenants and financial
ratios, principally a minimum net income and debt service coverage ratio and a
debt to equity ratio.
The principal ratios at September 30, 2002 are provided below (dollar
amounts in thousands):
DESCRIPTION REQUIRED AMOUNT ACTUAL
----------- --------------- ------
TERM LOAN AND REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
Net cash flow, as defined must exceed $3,400 $4,383
Debt service coverage must exceed 1.2 to 1.0 1.54
Senior leverage must be less than 2.5 to 1.0 1.22
Collateral value coverage must exceed 200% of loan balance 1,035%

The Indenture for the 10% Debentures contains various covenants, which
if violated, may result in a call of the entire issue. The principal covenants
prohibit any subsidiary of the Company from commencing receivership, bankruptcy
or insolvency proceedings.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at September 30,
2002 totaled $1,165,000.
In March 2002, the Company and its HWG, LLC subsidiary entered into the
$7,000,000 Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility with First Bank & Trust, N.A.
The facility is comprised of a $3,000,000 term loan and a $4,000,000 revolving
credit facility. The term loan proceeds were used in part to repay the
$1,500,000 convertible loan from stockholder in March 2002 and requires a
monthly payment of $92,631. The revolving credit facility bears interest at the
Company's option of one-half percent over prime, or Libor plus 3.25%, and
matures April 1, 2005. Collateral for the Term Loan and Revolving Credit
Facility is 300,397 HRP limited partner units. The credit agreement contains
various financial and non-financial covenants, including the maintenance of
financial ratios, restrictions on new indebtedness and the payment of dividends.
At September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants.
The Company has not drawn any funds on the revolving credit facility, and
therefore has $4,000,000 of unused borrowing capacity.
The Company's real estate segment generates funds principally from its
property management and leasing activities, without significant additional
capital costs. The Company has pledged 300,397 of its HRP limited partnership
units and the interest in its real estate subsidiaries to collateralize the Term
Loan and Revolving Credit Facility and the remaining 30,035 HRP units to secure
all of the capital leases.
Brookwood maintains a revolving line of credit facility which is
collateralized by accounts receivable, certain inventory and equipment, and
separate acquisition and equipment credit facilities. At September 30, 2002,
Brookwood had an additional $1,224,000 of borrowing base availability under its
revolving line of credit facility. Future cash dividends and tax sharing
payments to the parent company are contingent upon Brookwood's compliance with
the covenants contained in the amended loan agreement. At September 30, 2002,
Brookwood was in compliance with its loan covenants.
In February 2000, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary,
acquired the assets of a company in a textile products-related industry. The
purchase price was $1,450,000 in cash plus contingent payments of up to
$3,000,000, based on specified levels of earnings over the next four years. In
the fourth quarter of 2001, in consideration of thirty six monthly payments
aggregating approximately $375,000, the contingent obligation had been reduced
to a percentage of cash flow from the acquired subsidiaries, as defined, and
recorded as a charge to operations the amount for the remaining years under the
agreement.
In October 2002, Brookwood entered into an agreement with its joint
venture partner to acquire the remaining fifty percent interest in the joint
venture. Among other things, terms include payment of $1,000,000, to be borrowed
under Brookwood's revolving credit facility, and the issuance of a two-year
promissory note, payable quarterly beginning January 2003, for an amount to be
mutually agreed upon by the parties. Completion of the transaction is subject to
various approvals.
The Company's hotel segment experienced cash flow difficulties during
2000, due to weaker occupancy and average daily rates at several hotels. In
December 2000, the Company decided to discontinue its hotel operations and
dispose of its hotel segment principally by allowing its non-recourse
debtholders to assume ownership of the properties through foreclosures or by
selling or otherwise disposing of its hotel properties. At September 30, 2002,
the Company continues to operate one hotel, which has been classified as hotel
held for use. The Company did not receive any proceeds from completion of
foreclosure or sale of hotel properties and all non-recourse debt has been
extinguished. Payments on the three capital leases continue to be made by the
Company or its one operating hotel subsidiary.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In the interest of providing stockholders with certain information
regarding the Company's future plans and operations, certain statements set
forth in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Although any
forward-looking statement expressed by or on behalf of the Company is, to the
knowledge and in the judgment of the officers and directors, expected to prove
true and come to pass, management is not able to predict the future with
absolute certainty. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks
and uncertainties, which may cause the Company's actual performance and
financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projection,
estimate or forecasted result. Among others, these risks and uncertainties
include, the ability to obtain financing or refinance maturing debt; a potential
oversupply of commercial office buildings and industrial parks in the markets
served; fees for leasing, construction and acquisition of real estate
properties; lease and rental rates and occupancy levels obtained; and the
ability to compete successfully with foreign textile production and the ability
to generate new products. These risks and uncertainties are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond the control of the
Company. Other risks and uncertainties may be described, from time to time, in
the Company's periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Page 34
THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to the Company's market risks
during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
The Company is exposed to market risk due to fluctuations in interest
rates. The Company utilizes both fixed rate and variable rate debt to finance
its operations. As of September 30, 2002, the Company's total outstanding loans
and debentures payable of $24,707,000 were comprised of $11,369,000 of fixed
rate debt and $12,338,000 of variable rate debt. There is inherent rollover risk
for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The
extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the
variability of future interest rates and the Company's future financing
requirements. A hypothetical increase in interest rates of one percentage point
would cause an annual loss in income and cash flows of approximately $247,000,
assuming that outstanding debt remained at current levels.
The Company's real estate division through its investment in HRP will
sometimes use derivative financial instruments to achieve a desired mix of fixed
versus floating rate debt. As of September 30, 2002, HRP had an interest cap
agreement for one of its mortgage loans, which will limit HRP's exposure to
changing interest rates to a maximum of 10%. Management does not consider the
portion attributable to the Company to be significant.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. It is the conclusion
of the registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer
that the registrant's disclosure controls (as defined in Exchange Act rules
13a-14 and 15d-14), based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures
as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this quarterly report, are
effective.
Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes in the
registrant's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
