significant portion of the cash it holds from time to time to the UBS account to be placed in
various financial instruments and may borrow additional amounts from UBS to invest on a leveraged
basis, including in equity and debt that is publicly traded or is issued by United States and
foreign publicly traded companies, financial institutions, mutual funds and exchange traded funds.
As of May 16, 2011, no funds have been transferred into the UBS account. The Companys ability to
transfer funds to the UBS account will depend in part on the availability of dividends from the
Companys Brookwood subsidiary. Brookwoods lender, KeyBanc, has requested that Brookwood
demonstrate its projected compliance with the covenants under its Working Capital Revolving Credit
Facility for the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection with consenting to the payment of
dividends to the Company. The Company anticipates that in May 2011, KeyBanc will consent to a
dividend payment of $1,000,000 to the Company, which will be paid by Brookwood to the Company. In
addition, Brookwood anticipates seeking consent from KeyBanc for an additional dividend payment of
$5,000,000 to the Company, which the Company intends to transfer into the UBS account to fund the
planned investment activities. In connection with the Hallwood Energy litigation matters discussed
in Note 14, the plaintiffs have objected to the Companys intended transfer of funds to the UBS
account. The Company has submitted a request to the Court seeking clarification that the
transaction does not fall within the Courts prior order requiring advance notice to the Court of
certain transactions by the Company during the litigation. The plaintiffs have asked the Court to
prohibit the transaction. As of May 16, 2011, no Court ruling has been issued. The Companys
primary business will continue to be in the textile industry, conducted through its wholly owned
Brookwood subsidiary, and the Companys activities in investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or
trading in securities will at all times constitute substantially less than 40% of its assets on an
unconsolidated basis, in order to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Energy. Prior to October 2009, the Company held an investment in Hallwood Energy, L.P.
(Hallwood Energy). Hallwood Energy was a privately held independent oil and gas limited
partnership and operated as an upstream energy company engaged in the acquisition, development,
exploration, production, and sale of hydrocarbons, with a primary focus on natural gas assets. The
Company
accounted for the investment in Hallwood Energy using the equity method of accounting,
recording its pro rata share of Hallwood

Energys net income (loss), partners capital
transactions and comprehensive income (loss). As further discussed in Note 5, Hallwood Energy filed
for bankruptcy in March 2009. In connection with the confirmation of Hallwood Energys bankruptcy
in October 2009, the Companys ownership interest in Hallwood Energy was extinguished and the
Company no longer accounts for the investment in Hallwood Energy using the equity method of
accounting.
Consolidation Policy. The Companys Brookwood subsidiary operates on a 5-4-4 accounting cycle
with its months always ending on a Saturday for accounting purposes, while the parent company, The
Hallwood Group Incorporated, operates on a traditional fiscal month accounting cycle. For purposes
of the year-end financial statements the Brookwood cycle always ends on December 31, however,
quarterly interim financial statements may not correspond to the fiscal quarter-end. The Companys
condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 include Brookwoods
operations through April 2, 2011 and March 27, 2010, respectively.
Estimated operating results of Brookwood for the intervening periods to March 31, 2011 and

New Accounting Pronouncements. Accounting standard-setting organizations frequently issue new
or revised accounting rules. The Company regularly reviews new pronouncements to determine their
impact, if any, on the Companys financial statements. No pronouncements materially affecting the
Companys financial statements have been issued since the completion of the Companys consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

There are no unrealized gains or losses for the variable-rate demand notes
because of the frequent resetting nature of such notes. Variable-rate demand notes are considered
highly liquid and although the variable-rate demand notes have long-term nominal maturity dates,
the interest rates generally reset weekly. Despite the long-term nature of the variable-rate demand
notes, they are classified as short-term due to the Companys ability to quickly liquidate these
securities at par plus accrued interest with seven-day notice.

Note 4 Operations of Brookwood Companies Incorporated
Receivables. Brookwood maintains factoring agreements with several factors, which provide that
receivables resulting from credit sales to customers, excluding the U.S. Government, may be sold to
the factor, subject to a commission and the factors prior approval. Factored receivables were
$11,731,000 and $14,043,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, which were net of a returned
goods dilution allowance of $106,000 and $114,000, respectively.
Brookwood monitors its factors and their ability to fulfill their obligations to Brookwood in
a timely manner. As of May 16, 2011, all of Brookwoods factors were complying with payment terms
in accordance with factor agreements.
Trade receivables were $7,750,000 and $8,387,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
which were net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $86,000 and $129,000, respectively. The
trade receivable balance at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 includes approximately $1,643,000
which was the balance remaining related to fabric sold in two products to a Brookwood customer that
supplies the U.S. military for which payment has been delayed due to a pending compliance issue
(see also Note 14). Brookwood resolved the issue with respect to one of the products and received
payment at full value in 2009. Additionally, resolution on the second product with one of the
procurement entities was achieved in 2010 and Brookwood received payment at full value of
$3,242,000 in October 2010. Efforts are continuing to structure a resolution with the final
procurement entity and Brookwood believes it is likely to collect the balance due following
resolution of the remaining issues.
Sales Concentration. Brookwood has several customers who accounted for more than 10% of
Brookwoods sales. Sales to one Brookwood customer, Tennier Industries, Inc. (Tennier), accounted
for more than 10% of Brookwoods sales for 2010. Brookwoods relationship with Tennier is ongoing.
Sales to Tennier, which are included in military sales, were $290,000 in the 2011 first quarter,
compared to $19,177,000 in the 2010 first quarter, which represented 1.1% and 40.7% of Brookwoods
sales, respectively. Sales to another customer, ORC Industries, Inc. (ORC), accounted for more
than 10% of Brookwoods sales in 2010. Brookwoods relationship with ORC is ongoing. Sales to ORC,
which are also included in military sales, were $-0- in the 2011 first quarter, compared to
$5,630,000 in the 2010 first quarter, which represented -0-% and 11.9% of Brookwoods sales,
respectively.
Military sales accounted for $10,176,000 and $34,657,000 in the 2011 and 2010 first quarters,
which represented 38.0% and 73.5% of Brookwoods sales, respectively. Military sales have
historically been cyclical in nature and it is difficult to forecast the level and timing of future
military orders. Orders for military goods in the 2010 fourth quarter and 2011 first quarter
declined significantly, which affected the 2011 first quarter military sales. Brookwood has noted
an increased level of military orders in late March and April, that will be processed in the
remaining 2011 periods, however, not to the same level as the first half of 2010.
Flood at Kenyon Facility. On March 31, 2010, Kenyon was affected by the general flooding that
took place in the State of Rhode Island and in particular from the Pawcatuck River. Kenyon was
closed for a period of seven days after which it reinstituted production of unaffected production
lines. Only certain production lines were affected and production capacity was restored within a
few weeks. Brookwood filed claims with its insurance carriers, through its Kenyon subsidiary.
Brookwood recognized the $100,000 insurance policy deductible in the 2010 second quarter and has
received from its carriers $1,235,000 for its building and contents claims, including
Page 11
THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(unaudited)
$229,000 received after December 31, 2010. No additional amounts are due. Brookwood has also
filed a claim under its business interruption insurance policy, however, the status of the claim is
uncertain.
Stockholders Equity. The Company is the holder of all of Brookwoods outstanding
$13,500,000 Series A, $13.50 annual dividend per share, redeemable preferred stock and all of its
10,000,000 outstanding shares of common stock. The preferred stock has a liquidation preference of
$13,500,000 plus accrued but unpaid dividends. At March 31, 2011, cumulative dividends in arrears
on the preferred stock amounted to approximately $456,000.
2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Brookwood. In December 2005, the Company adopted The
Hallwood Group Incorporated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Brookwood Companies Incorporated (the
2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Brookwood) to encourage employees of Brookwood to increase the
value of Brookwood and to be employed by Brookwood. The terms of the incentive plan provide for a
total award amount to participants equal to 15% of the fair market value of consideration received
by the Company in a change of control transaction, as defined, in excess of the sum of the
liquidation preference plus accrued unpaid dividends on the Brookwood preferred stock ($13,956,000
at March 31, 2011). The base amount will fluctuate in accordance with a formula that increases by
the amount of the annual dividend on the preferred stock, currently $1,823,000, and decreases by
the amount of the actual preferred dividends paid by Brookwood to the Company. The plan generally
defines a change of control transaction as a transaction approved by the Companys board of
directors or by the holders of at least 50% of the voting capital stock of the Company that results
in: (i) a change in beneficial ownership of the Company or Brookwood of 50% or more of the combined
voting power, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Brookwood, or (iii) any
other transaction that, in the Companys board of directors discretion, has substantially the same
effect of item (i) or (ii). Certain transfers, generally among existing stockholders and their
related parties, are exempted from the definition.
However, if the Companys board of directors determines that certain specified Brookwood
officers, or other persons performing similar functions do not have, prior to the change of control
transaction, in the aggregate an equity or debt interest of at least two percent in the entity with
whom the change of control transaction is completed, then the minimum amount to be awarded under
the plan shall be $2,000,000. In addition, the Company agreed that, if members of Brookwoods
senior management do not have, prior to a change of control transaction, in the aggregate an equity
or debt interest of at least two percent in the entity with whom the change of control transaction
is completed (exclusive of any such interest any such individual receives with respect to his or
her employment following the change of control transaction), then the Company will be obligated to
pay an additional $2,600,000.
Note 5 Investments in Hallwood Energy, L.P.
Hallwood Energy was a privately held independent oil and gas limited partnership and operated
as an upstream energy company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration, production, and
sale of hydrocarbons, with a primary focus on natural gas assets. The Company had invested
$75,401,000 in Hallwood Energy comprised of a general partnership interest, Class A and Class C
limited partnership interests and convertible notes.
Prior to the confirmation of Hallwood Energys plan of reorganization in Bankruptcy Court, in
October 2009 (discussed below), the Company accounted for the investment in Hallwood Energy using
the equity method of accounting and recorded its pro rata share of Hallwood Energys net income
(loss), partner capital transactions and comprehensive income (loss), as appropriate. In connection
with Hallwood Energys bankruptcy reorganization, the Companys general and limited partnership
interests in Hallwood Energy were extinguished and the Company no longer accounts for the
investment in Hallwood Energy using the equity method of accounting. Certain of the Companys
officers and directors were investors in Hallwood Energy. In addition, as a member of management of
Hallwood Energy, one officer of the Company held a profit interest in Hallwood Energy that was also
extinguished in the bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Reorganization by Hallwood Energy. In March 2009, Hallwood Energy, Hallwood Energy
Management, LLC (the general partner of Hallwood Energy, HEM) and Hallwood Energys subsidiaries,
filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The cases were
adjudicated in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas
Division, in In re Hallwood Energy, L.P., et al Case No. 09-31253. The Company was only an investor
in and creditor of Hallwood Energy. The bankruptcy filing did not include the Company or any
other of its assets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
In October 2009, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed a plan of reorganization of the debtors that,
among other things, extinguished Hallwood Energys general partnership and limited partnership
interests, including those held by the Company. In addition, Hallwood Energys convertible notes,
including those held by the Company, are subordinated to recovery in favor of Hall Phoenix/Inwood,
Ltd. (HPI), the secured lender to Hallwood Energy. As a result of these developments, the Company
does not anticipate that it will recover any of its investments in Hallwood Energy.
Contingent Commitment to Invest Additional Funds. In connection with the then ongoing efforts
by Hallwood Energy to complete a transaction to raise additional capital by entering into an
agreement for the sale and farmout of an undivided interest in up to 33.33% of substantially all
its assets to FEI Shale, L.P. (FEI) a subsidiary of Talisman Energy, Inc. (the Talisman Energy
Transaction), the Company loaned Hallwood Energy $2,961,000 in May 2008. Concurrent with the
completion of the Talisman Energy Transaction in June 2008, the Company entered into an equity
support agreement (the Equity Support Agreement) with Hallwood Energy under which the Company
committed, under certain conditions, to contribute equity or debt capital to Hallwood Energy to
maintain a reasonable liquidity position for Hallwood Energy or prevent or cure any default under
Hallwood Energys credit facilities with respect to interest payments, up to a maximum amount of
$12,500,000. The Company contributed $2,039,000 at the completion date (for a total amount of
$5,000,000) to Hallwood Energy and committed to provide an additional amount of up to $7,500,000 in
certain circumstances, under the terms of a $12,500,000 convertible subordinated note agreement
(the Second Convertible Note) that was issued by Hallwood Energy in May 2008 and underwritten by
the Company. In September 2008, the Company loaned an additional $4,300,000 to Hallwood Energy
under the Equity Support Agreement.
An obligation and related additional equity loss were recorded in 2008 to the extent of the
Companys contingent commitment to provide additional financial support to Hallwood Energy pursuant
to the Equity Support Agreement, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
Equity Support Agreement terminated not later than October 2009 in connection with the confirmation
of Hallwood Energys plan of reorganization. The Equity Support Agreement is no longer in effect,
although (as previously discussed) the obligation, subject to certain defenses raised by the
Company, to pay the remaining contingent commitment amount of $3,201,000 is at issue in the pending
adversary proceeding against the Company.
Litigation. In connection with Hallwood Energys bankruptcy proceeding, Hallwood Energy and
other parties have filed lawsuits and threatened to assert additional claims against the Company
and certain related parties alleging actual, compensatory and exemplary damages in excess of
$200,000,000, based on purported breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duties, neglect,
negligence and various misleading statements, omissions and misrepresentations. See Note 14. The
Company believes that the allegations and claims are without merit and intends to defend the
lawsuits and any future claims vigorously.
Other. For further information on Hallwood Energys activities, including its bankruptcy
reorganization, refer to the Companys 2010 Form 10-K.

Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility. The Companys Brookwood subsidiary has
a revolving credit facility in an amount up to $25,000,000 with KeyBanc (the Working Capital
Revolving Credit Facility). Borrowings are collateralized by all accounts receivable,
certain finished goods inventory, machinery and equipment and all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Brookwood and its subsidiaries. The interest rate was a blended rate of 1.75% and
3.02% at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The outstanding balance was $2,000,000
at March 31, 2011 and Brookwood had $22,879,000 of borrowing availability under this facility,
which is net of a standby letter of credit of $121,000.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
Renewal of Credit Facility. On September 30, 2010, Brookwood entered into an amendment of the
Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility, to extend the term to January 31, 2014. The interest
rate payable on the facility is dependent on the leverage ratio, as defined, and can vary from
LIBOR + 1.50% - 2.00% and KeyBancs Base Rate, typically prime rate + 0.50% 1.00%, at Brookwoods
option. The principal amount of $25,000,000 and the loan covenants were not changed.
Loan Covenants. The Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility provides for a maximum total
debt to tangible net worth ratio of 1.50 and a covenant that Brookwood shall maintain a quarterly
minimum income before taxes of not less than one dollar. In October 2009, an additional covenant
was added that provides for a total funded debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization), for the trailing four quarters, ratio of not greater than 2.00 to
be calculated on a quarterly basis, commencing December 31, 2009.
As of December 31, 2010 and for all interim periods in 2010, Brookwood was in compliance with
its loan covenants. Due to a decline in military sales for the 2011 first quarter, Brookwood was
unable to meet the financial covenant that requires income before taxes of at least $1 in each
quarter. Brookwoods loss before taxes for the 2011 first quarter was $299,000. Accordingly,
Brookwood requested and anticipates receiving in May 2011 a waiver from KeyBanc for the income
covenant. Future compliance with the covenants under its Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility
depends on Brookwoods military orders increasing from the levels in the 2010 fourth quarter and
2011 first quarter. Brookwood has noted an increased level of military orders in late March and
April, that will be processed in the remaining 2011 periods, however, not to the same level as the
first half of 2010.
Since the Company has not formally received the loan waiver from KeyBanc as of the filing date
of this Form 10-Q, the Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility has been reclassified to a current
liability as of March 31, 2011.
Payments of Dividends. Brookwood submits a quarterly loan compliance certificate to KeyBanc
and concurrently requests the banks consent to pay cash dividends and tax sharing payments to the
Company. In February, 2011, Brookwood paid to the Company a dividend of $1,000,000 and anticipates
receiving consent from KeyBanc to pay to the Company a dividend of $1,000,000 in May 2011.
Restricted Net Assets. Cash dividends and tax sharing payments by Brookwood to the Company
are contingent upon compliance with the KeyBanc loan covenants. This limitation on the
transferability of assets constitutes a restriction of Brookwoods net assets, which were
$59,404,000 and $60,596,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The net deferred tax asset was $1,031,000 at both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The net deferred tax asset was comprised of $1,031,000 attributable to temporary differences,
(including $1,120,000 associated with the Companys investment in Hallwood Energy). The statutory
federal tax rate in both periods was 35%, while state taxes were determined based upon taxable
income apportioned to those states in which the Company does business at their respective tax
rates.
The Company had a federal income tax receivable of $1,063,000 and $473,000 at March 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010, respectively, and net state tax receivable of $675,000 and $593,000, at
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Money market funds are classified as Level 1 instruments as they are traded in active markets
with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.
The variable-rate demand notes are classified as Level 2 instruments. Their fair values are
based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or determined using inputs that use
readily observable market data that are actively quoted and can be validated through external
sources, including third-party pricing services, brokers and market transactions.
The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and have a
history of negligible credit losses are considered to approximate their carrying value. These
include cash, short term receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities.

In addition, from time to time, HIL and Mr. Gumbiner have performed services for certain
affiliated entities that are not subsidiaries of the Company, for which they receive consulting
fees, bonuses, stock options, profit interests or other forms of compensation and expenses. The

ownership percentage in the affiliated entities, through the utilization of the equity method of
accounting. Mr. Gumbiner received no compensation from these affiliated entities during 2011 or
2010.

HIL and certain of its affiliates in which Mr. Gumbiner has an indirect financial interest
share common offices, facilities and certain staff in the Companys Dallas office for which theses
companies reimburse the Company. Certain individuals employed by the Company, in addition to their
services provided to the Company, perform services on behalf of the HIL-related affiliates. In
addition, HIL utilizes some of the office space for purposes unrelated to the Companys business.
The Company pays certain common general and administrative expenses for salaries, rent and other
office expenses and charges the HIL-related companies an overhead reimbursement fee for the share
of the expenses allocable to these companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
these companies reimbursed the Company $24,000 and $29,000, respectively, for such expenses.
Note 14 Litigation, Contingencies and Commitments
Reference is made to Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the
Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Litigation. From time to time, the Company, its subsidiaries, certain of its affiliates and
others have been named as defendants in lawsuits relating to various transactions in which it or
its affiliated entities participated. Although the Company does not believe that the results of any
of these matters are likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows, it is possible that any of the matters could result in material liability
to the Company. In addition, the Company has spent and will likely continue to spend significant
amounts in professional fees in connection with these matters. The Company expenses professional
fees and other costs associated with litigation matters as incurred.
In July 2007, Nextec Applications, Inc. filed Nextec Applications, Inc. v. Brookwood Companies
Incorporated and The Hallwood Group Incorporated in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (SDNY No. CV 07-6901) claiming that the defendants infringed five
United States patents. In October 2007, the U.S. District Court dismissed The Hallwood Group
Incorporated from the lawsuit. Nextec later added additional patents to the lawsuit. On April 1,
2010, the Court issued its Order on various motions for summary judgment, which in part dismissed
Nextecs infringement claims based on seven of the ten remaining patent claims. Brookwood then
requested reconsideration of the remaining claims. On June 8, 2010, the Court denied Brookwoods
request with respect to one of the remaining patents, but granted Brookwood leave to renew its
motion for summary judgment for the remaining patent. Brookwood filed a renewed motion for summary
judgment of patent invalidity for the remaining patent, which was later denied on March 8, 2011 due
to a disputed issue of fact. Brookwood intends to vigorously defend against any remaining claims.
Trial on this matter is currently scheduled to begin on October 31, 2011. While Brookwood believes
it possesses valid defenses to these claims, due to the nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome
of this case is indeterminable at this time.
Hallwood Energy. In March 2009, Hallwood Energy, HEM (the general partner of Hallwood Energy)
and Hallwood Energys subsidiaries, filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. The cases were adjudicated in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, in In re Hallwood Energy, L.P., et al Case No.
09-31253.
The Company was only an investor in and creditor of Hallwood Energy. The bankruptcy filing did
not include the Company or any other of its assets.
In October 2009, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed a plan of reorganization of the debtors that,
among other things, extinguished the Companys interest in Hallwood Energys general partnership
and limited partnership interests. In addition, Hallwood Energys convertible notes, including
those held by the Company, are subordinated to recovery in favor of HPI. As a result of these
developments, the Company does not anticipate that it will recover any of its investments in
Hallwood Energy.
The confirmed plan of reorganization in the Hallwood Energy bankruptcy proceeding also
provides that a creditors trust created by the plan will pursue various claims against the
Company, its officers, directors and affiliates and Hallwood Energys officers and directors,
including claims assigned to the creditors trust by HPI.
In connection with an Acquisition and Farmout Agreement entered into between Hallwood Energy
and FEI Shale, L.P. (FEI), in June 2008, the Company and Hallwood Energy entered into an Equity
Support Agreement dated June 9, 2008, under which the Company agreed, under certain conditions, to
contribute to Hallwood Energy up to $12,500,000, in consideration for which the Company would
receive equity or debt securities of Hallwood Energy. As of February 25, 2009 the Company had
contributed $9,300,000 to Hallwood Energy pursuant to the Equity Support Agreement. On that date,
Hallwood Energy demanded that the Company fund the additional $3,200,000, which the Company has not
done. On March 30, 2009, Hallwood Energy filed an adversary proceeding
Page 18
THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(unaudited)
against the Company seeking
a judgment for the additional $3,200,000. The case was originally styled Hallwood Energy, L.P. v.
The Hallwood Group Incorporated, Adversary No. 09-03082, and is pending in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.
HPI and FEI intervened in the lawsuit and filed their respective complaints in intervention.
Among the arguments advanced in the complaints in intervention is that the Companys failure to
fund $3,200,000 under the Equity Support Agreement damaged Hallwood Energy in an amount in excess
of $3,200,000. FEI generally claims that, in addition to not paying the $3,200,000, the Company
defrauded FEI and tortiously interfered with its rights under the Acquisition and Farmout
Agreement, and it seeks approximately $38,000,000 in additional damages. In their second amended
complaint, HPI and the trustee for the creditors trust contend that the additional damage is at
least $20,000,000 because they allege that the failure of the Company to fund the $3,200,000 caused
FEI to not fund $20,000,000 due under the Farmout Agreement between Hallwood Energy and FEI. HPI
and the trustee also assert that the Company is liable for exemplary damages of $100,000,000 on
account of its failure to fund the last $3,200,000 under the Equity Support Agreement. Also in the
second amended complaint, HPI and the trustee had named as additional defendants Hallwood Family
(BVI) L.P., Hallwood Investments Limited, Hallwood Company Limited, the Hallwood Trust, Hallwood
Financial Limited and Brookwood Companies Incorporated contending that the additional defendants
are liable to the plaintiffs under the remedy of substantive consolidation. On May 5, 2010, the
Court dismissed with prejudice the substantive consolidation and abuse of the bankruptcy process
claims against all parties, resulting in the Company remaining as the sole Defendant. In light of
the Courts disposition of the theories advanced in the second amended complaint, the adversary
proceeding is now styled as Ray Balestri, Trustee of the Hallwood Energy I Creditors Trust, as
successor in interest to Hallwood Energy, L.P., Plaintiffs and FEI Shale L.P. and Hall
Phoenix/Inwood Ltd., Plaintiffs in Intervention vs. The Hallwood Group Incorporated, Defendant;
Adversary No. 09-03082-SGJ. The parties participated in a Court-ordered mediation, held on July 8,
2010, but the parties were unable to reach a settlement of all or part of the lawsuit. The trial
began during October 2010 and concluded in December 2010. The Court has taken the matter under
advisement.
On August 3, 2009, the Company was served with a complaint in Hall Phoenix/Inwood Ltd. and
Hall Performance Energy Partners 4, Ltd. v. The Hallwood Group Incorporated, et al. filed in the
298th District of Texas, No. 09-09551. The other defendants include Anthony J.
Gumbiner, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Bill Guzzetti, the President of
the Company, certain affiliates of Mr. Gumbiner and certain officers of Hallwood Energy. The
complaint alleges that the defendants defrauded plaintiffs in connection with plaintiffs acquiring
interests in and providing loans to Hallwood Energy and seeks actual and exemplary damages. On
September 15, 2010, Ray Balestri, Trustee of the Hallwood Energy I Creditors Trust, intervened in
this proceeding and added certain of the Companys officers, directors, and an employee as
defendants. The new complaint alleges, among other things, claims against the defendants for breach
of fiduciary duties, gross negligence and willful misconduct and seeks indeterminable actual and
exemplary damages. The Company believes that the allegations and claims are without merit and
intends to defend the lawsuit and any future claims vigorously. On November 5, 2010, this case was
removed to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division,
Adversary No. 10-03358, but is subject to a pending motion to remand filed by the plaintiff.
On July 30, 2010, Hallwood Energys trustee filed a complaint captioned Ray Balestri, Trustee
of the Hallwood Energy I Creditors Trust v. Anthony J. Gumbiner, et al in the Dallas County Court
at Law No. 4, No. CC-10-05212D. The other defendants include certain current and former directors,
officers and employees of the Company, certain of Hallwood Energys former officers and directors,
as well as outside legal counsel. The complaint alleges, among other things, claims against the
defendants for breach of fiduciary duties, gross negligence and willful misconduct and seeks
indeterminable actual and exemplary damages. The Company believes that the allegations and claims
are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuit and any future claims vigorously. This case has
been removed to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas
Division, Adversary No. 10-03263, but is subject to a pending motion to remand filed by the
plaintiff.
Claim Filed by Company with Insurance Carrier for Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
Policy. The Company has incurred significant legal fees and associated costs in connection with
these actions. The Company has filed claims with the carrier for a directors and officers
liability insurance policies maintained by the Company. The policy has an aggregate limit of
liability of $10,000,000 per annual policy period. In September 2009, the Companys insurance
carrier indicated that it would reimburse the Company pursuant to the terms of its directors and
officers liability insurance policy for a portion of these expenses, subject to a reservation of
rights. The Company received reimbursement of legal fees and associated costs of approximately
$820,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, which were recorded as expense
recoveries in administrative and selling expenses. Additionally, through September 30, 2010, the
insurance carrier also paid approximately $1,120,000 in reimbursement of legal fees and associated
costs on behalf of other defendants in connection with the Hall Phoenix/Inwood Ltd. and Hall
Performance Energy Partners

4 Ltd v The Hallwood Group Incorporated, et al matter. The insurance
carrier had indicated that it would pay future legal fees and associated costs incurred on behalf
of the Company directly to the service providers.
In August 2010, the insurance carrier informed the Company of a change in its coverage
position whereby coverage was denied in reliance on the insured vs. insured exclusion in the
policy. The Company believes it has demonstrated that the exclusion does not apply and made demand
that the insurance carrier provide coverage for these actions. In November 2010, the insurance
carrier informally agreed to pay the previously unreimbursed defense costs of the Company and
another insured party, in exchange for an agreement not to initiate a coverage lawsuit if the
carrier performed promptly. In December 2010, the Company received additional reimbursement from
the insurance carrier of legal fees and associated costs of approximately $553,000. Additionally,
in December 2010, the insurance carrier also paid $1,288,000 of legal fees and associated costs on
behalf of other defendants. In April 2011, the insurance carrier reimbursed the Company $110,000 of
legal fees and associated costs and paid a currently undetermined amount of legal fees and costs on
behalf of other defendants.
Significant additional costs in excess of insurance reimbursements have been incurred by the
Company and on behalf of other defendants. The Company continues to incur substantial
litigation-related costs on these matters and the insurance carrier periodically processes claims
for the reimbursement of such eligible and covered costs.
Environmental Contingencies. A number of jurisdictions in which the Company or its
subsidiaries operate have adopted laws and regulations relating to environmental matters. Such
laws and regulations may require the Company to secure governmental permits and approvals and
undertake measures to comply therewith. Compliance with the requirements imposed may be
time-consuming and costly. While environmental considerations, by themselves, have not
significantly affected the Companys or its subsidiaries business to date, it is possible
that such considerations may have a significant and adverse impact in the future. The Company and
its subsidiaries actively monitor their environmental compliance and while certain matters
currently exist, management is not aware of any compliance issues which will significantly impact
the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company or its subsidiaries.
Brookwood and its subsidiaries are subject to a number of environmental laws, regulations,
licenses and permits and have ongoing discussions with environmental regulatory authorities,
including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA), the Rhode Island Department of
Health (RIDOH), the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) and the
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CTDEP) on a number of matters, including
compliance with safe drinking water rules and wastewater discharge and treatment regulations, the
control of chemicals used in the companies coating operations that are classified as air
pollutants, the presence of groundwater and soil contaminants at the companies facilities, the
removal of underground storage tanks, and hazardous waste management.
From time to time Brookwood and its subsidiaries have paid fines or penalties for alleged
failure to comply with certain environmental requirements, which did not exceed $100,000 in the
aggregate during the three years ended December 31, 2010 and the
three months ended March 31, 2011. In addition, Brookwood and its subsidiaries have entered
into various settlements and agreements with the regulatory authorities requiring the companies to
perform certain tests, undertake certain studies, and install remedial facilities. Brookwood and
its subsidiaries incurred capital expenditures to comply with environmental regulations of
approximately $488,000 in the year ended December 31, 2010 and $-0- during the three months ended
March 31, 2011. In addition, Brookwood and its subsidiaries regularly incur expenses associated
with various studies and tests to monitor and maintain compliance with diverse environmental
requirements.
Other Contingencies. In May 2009, one of Brookwoods suppliers advised Brookwood that
shipments to Brookwood during the period from September 2008 to April 2009 of a quantity of greige
fabric from the supplier incorporated some fiber that was not of domestic origin in some yarn from
the vendor. The fabric in question was ordered to fill contracts in support of the United States
military, was required to be domestic and is subject to the preference for domestic source required
flow down provisions of the Department of Defense Supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulations
implementing the provisions of 10 USC 2533a. Brookwoods suppliers have advised that the greige
fabric containing the non-compliant yarn was supplied inadvertently to Brookwood in limited
quantity. Brookwood has determined that this yarn affects two of their greige products. Brookwood
advised its affected customers and the United States military of this circumstance. Brookwood
resolved the issue with respect to one of the products and received payment at full value in 2009.
Additionally, resolution on the second product with one of the procurement entities was achieved in
July 2010 and Brookwood received payment at full value of $3,242,000 in October 2010. Efforts are
continuing to structure a resolution with the final procurement entity and Brookwood believes it is
likely to collect the remaining amount due following

THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
General. The Company operates as a holding company with its principal business in the textile
products industry.
Textile Products. In 2010 and 2011, the Company derived all of its operating revenues from
the textile activities of its Brookwood Companies Incorporated (Brookwood) subsidiary;
consequently, the Companys success is highly dependent upon Brookwoods success. Brookwoods
success is influenced in varying degrees by its ability to continue sales to existing customers,
costs, availability of supplies, its response to competition and its ability to generate new
markets and products. Although the Companys textile activities have generated positive cash flow
in recent years, there is no assurance that this trend will continue.
While Brookwood has enjoyed substantial revenues from its military business, there is no
assurance that this trend will continue. Brookwoods sales to the customers from whom it derives
its military business have been volatile and difficult to predict, a trend the Company believes
will continue. In recent years, orders from the military for goods generally were significantly
affected by the increased activity of the U.S. military. If this activity does not continue or
declines, then orders from the military generally, including orders for Brookwoods products, may
be similarly affected. Military sales of $10,176,000 for the 2011 first quarter were $24,481,000,
or 70.6%, lower than the comparable period amount of $34,657,000 in 2010. Orders for military goods
in the 2010 fourth quarter and 2011 first quarter declined significantly, which affected the 2011
first quarter military sales. Brookwood has noted an increased level of military orders in late
March and April, that will be processed in the remaining 2011 periods, however, not to the same
level as the first half of 2010.
From time to time, the military limits orders for existing products and adopts revised
specifications for new products to replace the products for which Brookwoods customers have been
suppliers. The U.S. government released orders in recent years that include Brookwoods products,
which resulted in substantial military sales. Changes in specifications or orders present a
potential opportunity for additional sales; however, it is a continuing challenge to adjust to
changing specifications and production requirements. Brookwood has regularly conducted research and
development on various processes and products intended to comply with the revised specifications
and participates in the bidding process for new military products. However, to the extent
Brookwoods products are not included in future purchases by the U.S. government for any reason,
Brookwoods sales could be adversely affected. A provision of U.S. federal law, known as the Berry
Amendment, generally requires the Department of Defense to give preference in procurement to
domestically produced products, including textiles. Brookwoods sales of products to the U.S.
military market is highly dependent upon the continuing application and enforcement of the Berry
Amendment by the U.S. government. In addition, the U.S. government is releasing contracts for
shorter periods than in the past. The Company acknowledges the unpredictability in revenues and
margins due to military sales and is unable at this time to predict future sales trends.
Unstable global nylon and chemical pricing and volatile domestic energy costs, coupled with a
varying product mix, have continued to cause fluctuations in Brookwoods margins, a trend that will
potentially continue.
Brookwood continues to identify new market niches intended to replace sales lost to imports.
In addition to its existing products and proprietary technologies, Brookwood has developed advanced
breathable, waterproof laminate and other materials, which have been well received by its
customers. Continued development of these fabrics for military, industrial and consumer
applications is a key element of Brookwoods business plan. The ongoing success of Brookwood is
contingent on its ability to maintain its level of military business and adapt to the global
textile industry. There can be no assurance that the positive results of the past can be sustained
or that competitors will not aggressively seek to replace products developed by Brookwood.
The textile products business is not interdependent with the Companys other business
operations. The Company does not guarantee the Brookwood bank facility and is not obligated to
contribute additional capital. Conversely, Brookwood does not guarantee debts of the Company or any
of the Companys subsidiaries and is not obligated to contribute additional capital to the Company
beyond dividend payments and the tax sharing agreement.
Investments in Financial Instruments. In the 2011 first quarter, the Company opened an
investment account with UBS AG, a global financial services firm, and intends to transfer a
significant portion of the cash it holds from time to time to the UBS account to be placed in
various financial instruments and may borrow additional amounts from UBS to invest on a leveraged
basis, including in equity and debt that is publicly traded or is issued by United States and
foreign publicly traded companies, financial institutions, mutual funds and exchange traded funds.
As of May 16, 2011, no funds have been transferred into the UBS account. The Companys ability to
transfer funds to the UBS account will depend in part on the availability of dividends from the
Companys Brookwood subsidiary. Brookwoods lender, KeyBanc, has requested that Brookwood
demonstrate its projected compliance with the covenants under its
Page 22
THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility for the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection
with consenting to the payment of dividends to the Company. The Company anticipates that in May
2011, KeyBanc will consent to a dividend payment of $1,000,000 to the Company, which will be paid
by Brookwood to the Company. In addition, Brookwood anticipates seeking consent from KeyBanc for an
additional dividend payment of $5,000,000 to the Company, which the Company intends to transfer
into the UBS account to fund the planned investment activities. In connection with the Hallwood
Energy litigation matters discussed in Note 14, the plaintiffs have objected to the Companys
intended transfer of funds to the UBS account. The Company has submitted a request to the Court
seeking clarification that the transaction does not fall within the Courts prior order requiring
advance notice to the Court of certain transactions by the Company during the litigation. The
plaintiffs have asked the Court to prohibit the transaction. As of May 16, 2011, no Court ruling
has been issued. The Companys primary business will continue to be in the textile industry,
conducted through its wholly owned Brookwood subsidiary, and the Companys activities in investing,
reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities will at all times constitute substantially
less than 40% of its assets on an unconsolidated basis, in order to maintain its exemption from
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The Company intends initially to transfer approximately $5,000,000 into the UBS account and to
increase that amount over time, with the intention to retain cash and cash equivalents as necessary
for operations and hold the remainder of its liquid assets from time to time in the UBS account to
invest in the ordinary course of its business. The Company intends to place the amounts in the UBS
account in various instruments, including equity and debt that is publicly traded or is issued by
United States and foreign publicly traded companies, financial institutions, mutual funds and
exchange traded funds. The Company does not intend to invest in instruments for which there is not
a public market or not issued by publicly traded companies, financial institutions, mutual funds or
exchange traded funds. The amounts invested will at all times remain in the Companys investment
account and under its control, and will be invested for its own account.
The UBS account will be a margin account, under which the Company may borrow from UBS up to
70% (for equity) to 90% (for debt) of the loan value of investment securities held in the account
at a current borrowing cost of 50 basis points over the interest rate applicable to dollar deposits
in the London interbank market. All borrowings in the account will be secured by a pledge of all
assets held in the account. If at any time the value of the assets in the account fall below the
agreed margin, or if UBS should, for any other reason, consider the assets pledged as no longer
adequate cover for its claims, the Company will be required, upon request by UBS, either to reduce
the debt through repayments or to furnish sufficient additional security, so as to re-establish the
required margin. If the Company fails to comply with this demand within such time limit as may be
set by UBS at its discretion, the debt will become repayable and UBS will be allowed to sell the
assets on the open market to pay the debt.
Energy. Hallwood Energy was a privately held independent oil and gas limited partnership and
operated as an upstream energy company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration,
production, and sale of hydrocarbons, with a primary focus on natural gas assets.
In March 2009, Hallwood Energy, HEM (the general partner of Hallwood Energy) and Hallwood
Energys subsidiaries, filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code. The cases were adjudicated in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
Texas, Dallas Division, in In re Hallwood Energy, L.P., et al Case No. 09-31253. The Company was
only an investor in and creditor of Hallwood Energy. The bankruptcy filing did not include the
Company or any other of its assets. In October 2009, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the plan of
reorganization of the debtors.
Refer to the section Investments in Hallwood Energy for a further discussion of the
Companys former energy activities, including the bankruptcy case.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Presentation
The Company intends the discussion of its financial condition and results of operations that
follows to provide information that will assist in understanding its financial statements, the
changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary
factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies
and estimates affect its financial statements.
Results of Operations
The Company reported a net loss of $996,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to
net income of $5,250,000 in 2010. Revenue for the 2011 first quarter was $26,769,000, compared to
$47,150,000 in 2010.
Revenues
Textile products sales of $26,769,000 decreased by $20,381,000, or 43.2%, in the 2011 first
quarter, compared to $47,150,000, in 2010. The decrease was principally due to a decrease in sales
of specialty fabric to U.S. military contractors as a result of decreases in orders from the
military to Brookwoods customers, partially offset by increased sales in its other market
segments. Military sales accounted for $10,176,000 and $34,657,000 in the 2011 and 2010 first
quarters, which represented 38.0% and 73.5% of Brookwoods sales, respectively.
Brookwood has several customers who accounted for more than 10% of Brookwoods sales. Sales to
one Brookwood customer, Tennier Industries, Inc. (Tennier), accounted for more than 10% of
Brookwoods sales for 2010. Brookwoods relationship with Tennier is ongoing. Sales to Tennier,
which are included in military sales, were $290,000 in the 2011 first quarter, compared to
$19,177,000 in the 2010 first quarter, which represented 1.1% and 40.7% of Brookwoods sales,
respectively. Sales to another customer, ORC Industries, Inc. (ORC), accounted for more than 10%
of Brookwoods sales for 2010. Brookwoods relationship with ORC is ongoing. Sales to ORC, which
are also included in military sales, were $-0-, in the 2011 first quarter, compared to $5,630,000
in the 2010 first quarter, which represented -0-% and 11.9% of Brookwoods sales, respectively.
Orders for military goods in the 2010 fourth quarter and 2011 first quarter declined
significantly, which affected the 2011 first quarter military sales. Brookwood has noted an
increased level of military orders in late March and April, that will be processed in the remaining
2011 periods, however, not to the same level as the first half of 2010.
Expenses
Textile products cost of sales of $23,194,000 for the 2011 first quarter decreased by
$9,479,000, or 29.0%, compared to $32,673,000 in 2010. The 2011 decrease principally resulted from
material and labor costs associated with lower sales volume and from changes in product mix, offset
by an increase in royalty expense related to certain military products. Cost of sales includes all
costs associated with the manufacturing process, including but not limited to, materials, labor,
utilities, royalties, depreciation on manufacturing equipment and all costs associated with the
purchase, receipt and transportation of goods and materials to Brookwoods facilities, including
inbound freight, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs and
other costs of the distribution network. Brookwood believes that the reporting and composition of
cost of sales and gross margin is comparable with similar companies in the textile converting and
finishing industry.
The gross profit margin for the 2011 first quarter was lower as compared to the 2010 first
quarter, (13.4% versus 30.7%). The lower gross profit margin was attributed to lower sales volume
and changes in product mix.

Textile products administrative and selling expenses of $3,863,000 for the 2011 first
quarter decreased by $588,000, or 13.2%, from the 2010 amount of $4,451,000. The decrease in the
2011 first quarter from the 2010 first quarter was primarily attributable to a decrease of $408,000
in professional services, principally legal fees, a decrease of $150,000 related to performance and
other related payroll costs and reduced factor commissions of $128,000 and was partially offset by
an increase of $101,000 of employee related expenses (e.g. salaries and benefits). The textile
products administrative and selling expenses included items such as payroll, professional fees,
sales commissions, factor commissions, marketing, rent, insurance and travel. Brookwood conducts
research and development activities related to the exploration, development and production of
innovative products and technologies. Research and development costs were approximately $140,000
and $158,000 in the 2011 and 2010 quarters, respectively.
Corporate administrative expenses were $1,283,000 for the 2011 first quarter, compared
$1,845,000 for 2010. The decrease of $562,000, or 30.4%, was principally attributable to a decrease
in professional fees of $618,000, including costs related to the Hallwood Energy litigation
matters.
Other Income (Loss)
Interest expense of $26,000 in the 2011 first quarter and $61,000 for the 2010 first quarter
is related to Brookwoods Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility. The decrease in interest
expense was due to a decrease in the average outstanding loan amount and lower interest rates.
Interest and other income was $17,000 in the 2011 first quarter, compared to $1,000 in 2010,
principally due to interest earned on short-term investments.

At March 31, 2011, the deferred tax asset was attributable to temporary differences, that
upon reversal, could be utilized to offset income from operations. The statutory federal tax rate
in both periods was 35%, while state taxes were determined based upon taxable income apportioned to
those states in which the Company does business at their respective tax rates.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Investments in Hallwood Energy
Hallwood Energy was a privately held independent oil and gas limited partnership and operated
as an upstream energy company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration, production, and
sale of hydrocarbons, with a primary focus on natural gas assets.
Prior to the confirmation of Hallwood Energys plan of reorganization by Hallwood Energy
(discussed below) in October 2009, the Company had invested $61,481,000 in Hallwood Energys
general partnership interest and Class A and Class C limited partnership interests. In addition,
the Company loaned Hallwood Energy $13,920,000 in the form of convertible notes issued by Hallwood
Energy. The Company accounted for the investment in Hallwood Energy using the equity method of
accounting and recorded its pro rata share of Hallwood Energys net income (loss), partners
capital transactions, and comprehensive income (loss), as appropriate. In connection with Hallwood
Energys bankruptcy reorganization, the Companys general and limited partnership interests in
Hallwood Energy were extinguished and the Company no longer accounts for the investment in Hallwood
Energy using the equity method of accounting. Certain of the Companys officers and directors were
investors in Hallwood Energy. In addition, as a member of management of Hallwood Energy, one
officer of the Company held a profit interest in Hallwood Energy that was also extinguished in the
bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Reorganization by Hallwood Energy. In March 2009, Hallwood Energy, HEM (the general
partner of Hallwood Energy) and Hallwood Energys subsidiaries, filed petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The cases were adjudicated in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, in In re Hallwood Energy,
L.P., et al Case No. 09-31253. The Company was only an investor in and creditor of Hallwood Energy.
The bankruptcy filing did not include the Company or any other of its assets.
In October 2009, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed a plan of reorganization of the debtors that,
among other things, extinguished Hallwood Energys general partnership and limited partnership
interests, including those held by the Company. In addition, Hallwood Energys convertible notes,
including those held by the Company, are subordinated to recovery in favor of Hall Phoenix/Inwood,
Ltd. (HPI), the secured lender to Hallwood Energy. As a result of these developments, the Company
does not anticipate that it will recover any of its investments in Hallwood Energy.
Litigation. In connection with Hallwood Energys bankruptcy proceeding, Hallwood Energy and
other parties have filed lawsuits and threatened to assert additional claims against the Company
and certain related parties alleging actual, compensatory and exemplary damages in excess of
$200,000,000, based on purported breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duties, neglect,
negligence and various misleading statements, omissions and misrepresentations. See Note 14 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements of this report. The Company believes that the
allegations and claims are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuits and any future claims
vigorously.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies identified and set forth in the
Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Related Party Transactions
Hallwood Investments Limited. The Company has entered into a financial consulting contract
with Hallwood Investments Limited (HIL), a corporation associated with Mr. Anthony J.
Gumbiner, the Companys chairman and principal stockholder. The contract provides for HIL to
furnish and perform international consulting and advisory services to the Company and its
subsidiaries, including strategic planning and merger activities, for annual compensation of
$996,000. The annual amount is payable in monthly installments. The contract automatically renews
for one-year periods if not terminated by the parties beforehand. Additionally, HIL and Mr.
Gumbiner are also eligible for bonuses from the Company or its subsidiaries, subject to approval by
the Companys or its subsidiaries board of directors. The Company also reimburses HIL
for reasonable expenses in providing office space and administrative services in Europe in
connection with HILs services to the Company pursuant to the financial consulting contract and for
travel and related expenses between Europe and the Companys locations in the United States and
health insurance premiums.

In addition, from time to time, HIL and Mr. Gumbiner have performed services for certain
affiliated entities that are not subsidiaries of the Company, for which they receive consulting
fees, bonuses, stock options, profit interests or other forms of compensation and expenses. The
Company recognizes a proportionate share of such compensation and expenses, based upon its
ownership percentage in the affiliated entities, through the utilization of the equity method of
accounting. Mr. Gumbiner received no compensation from these affiliated entities during 2011 and
2010.
HIL and certain of its affiliates in which Mr. Gumbiner has an indirect financial interest
share common offices, facilities and certain staff in the Companys Dallas office for which theses
companies reimburse the Company. Certain individuals employed by the Company, in addition to their
services provided to the Company, perform services on behalf of the HIL-related affiliates. In
addition, HIL utilizes some of the office space for purposes unrelated to the Companys business.
The Company pays certain common general and administrative expenses for salaries, rent and other
office expenses and charges the HIL-related companies an overhead reimbursement fee for the share
of the expenses allocable to these companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
these companies reimbursed the Company $24,000 and $29,000, respectively, for such expenses

For the nine months ending December 31, 2011. |
Interest costs associated with the Companys debt, which bears interest at variable rates, are
not a material component of the Companys expenses. Estimated interest payments, based on the
current principal balances and weighted average interest rates, assuming the renewal of the
revolving credit facility at its loan balance as of March 31, 2011, are $26,000 for the nine months
ending December 31, 2011 and $35,000, for each of the years ending December 31, 2011 through
December 31, 2014, respectively.
Employment Contracts. The Company and its Brookwood subsidiary have compensation agreements
with various personnel and consultants. Generally, the agreements extend for one-year terms and are
renewable annually.
2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Brookwood. In December 2005, the Company adopted The
Hallwood Group Incorporated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Brookwood Companies Incorporated
(2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Brookwood) to encourage employees of Brookwood to increase the
value of Brookwood and to continue to be employed by Brookwood. The terms of the incentive plan
provide for a total award amount to participants equal to 15% of the fair market value of
consideration received by
the Company in a change of control transaction, as defined, in excess of the sum of the
liquidation preference plus accrued unpaid dividends on the Brookwood preferred stock
(approximately $13,956,000 at March 31, 2011). The base amount will fluctuate in
Page 27
THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
accordance with a
formula that increases by the amount of the annual dividend on the preferred stock of $1,823,000,
and decreases by the amount of actual preferred dividends paid by Brookwood to the Company. The
plan generally defines a change of control transaction as a transaction approved by the Companys
board of directors or by the holders of at least 50% of the voting capital stock of the Company
that results in: (i) a change in beneficial ownership of the Company or Brookwood of 50% or more of
the combined voting power, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Brookwood, or
(iii) any other transaction that, in the Companys board of directors discretion, has substantially
the same effect of item (i) or (ii). Certain transfers, generally among existing stockholders and
their related parties, are exempted from the definition.
However, if the Companys board of directors determines that certain specified Brookwood
officers, or other persons performing similar functions do not have, prior to the change of control
transaction, in the aggregate an equity or debt interest of at least two percent in the entity with
whom the change of control transaction is completed, then the minimum amount to be awarded under
the plan shall be $2,000,000. In addition, the Company agreed that, if members of Brookwoods
senior management do not have, prior to a change of control transaction, in the aggregate an equity
or debt interest of at least two percent in the entity with whom the change of control transaction
is completed (exclusive of any such interest any such individual receives with respect to his or
her employment following the change of control transaction), then the Company will be obligated to
pay an additional $2,600,000.

Brookwood was in compliance with its loan covenants under the Working Capital Revolving
Credit Facility as of December 31, 2010 and for all interim periods in 2010.
Due to a decline in military sales for the 2011 first quarter, Brookwood was unable to meet
the financial covenant that requires income before taxes of at least $1 in each quarter.
Brookwoods loss before taxes for the 2011 first quarter was $299,000. Accordingly, Brookwood
requested and anticipates receiving in May 2011, a waiver from KeyBanc for the income covenant.
Future compliance with the covenants under its Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility depends on
Brookwoods military orders increasing from the levels in the 2010 fourth quarter and 2011 first
quarter. Brookwood has noted an increased level of military orders in late March and April, that
will be processed in the remaining 2011 periods, however, not to the same level as the first half
of 2010.
Since the Company has not formally received the loan waiver from KeyBanc as of the filing date
of this Form 10-Q, the Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility has been reclassified to a current
liability as of March 31, 2011.
Cash dividends and tax sharing payments by Brookwood to the Company are contingent upon
Brookwoods compliance with the loan covenants contained in the Working Capital Revolving Credit
Facility. This limitation on the transferability of assets constitutes a restriction of Brookwoods
net assets, which were $59,404,000 and $60,596,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General. The Company, through its Brookwood subsidiary, principally operates in the textile
products segment. The Companys cash position decreased by $2,875,000 during the 2011 first
quarter to $8,284,000 as of March 31, 2011. The principal source of cash in the 2011 first quarter
was $1,115,000 for proceeds from the redemption of short-term investments.. The primary uses of
cash were $3,435,000 for operations and $555,000 for property, plant and equipment, principally at
Brookwood. The amount outstanding under the Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility was unchanged
at $2,000,000.
Textiles. The Companys textile products segment generates funds from the dyeing,
laminating and finishing of fabrics and their sales to customers in the military, consumer,
industrial and medical markets. Brookwood maintains a $25,000,000 Working Capital Revolving Credit
Facility with KeyBanc. The facility has a maturity date of January 31, 2014. At March 31, 2011,
Brookwood had approximately $22,879,000 of unused borrowing capacity on its Working Capital
Revolving Credit Facility.
Brookwood maintains factoring agreements which provide that receivables resulting from credit
sales to customers, excluding the U.S. Government, may be sold to the factor, subject to a
commission and the factors prior approval. Brookwood monitors its factors and their ability to
fulfill their obligations to Brookwood in a timely manner. As of May 16, 2011, all of Brookwoods
factors were complying with payment terms in accordance with factor agreements.
Brookwood paid cash dividends to the Company of $1,000,000 in the 2011 first quarter and
$4,000,000 for all of 2010. In addition, Brookwood made a tax sharing payment to the Company of
$1,467,000 in the 2011 first quarter and $10,434,000 for all of 2010 under its tax sharing
agreement. Future cash dividends and tax sharing payments are contingent upon Brookwoods
continued profitability and compliance with its loan covenants contained in the Working Capital
Revolving Credit Facility. Brookwoods total debt to total tangible net worth ratio of 0.29 at
March 31, 2011 was unchanged from 0.29 at December 31, 2010, which was substantially below the
maximum allowable ratio of 1.50. Brookwoods total funded debt to EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), for the trailing four quarters, ratio was 0.12 and
0.07 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which was substantially below the
maximum allowable ratio of 2.0. Due to a decline in military sales for the 2011 first quarter,
Brookwood was unable to meet the financial covenant that requires income before taxes of at least
$1 in each quarter. Brookwoods loss before taxes for the 2011 first quarter was $299,000.
Accordingly, Brookwood requested and anticipates receiving in May 2011, a waiver from KeyBanc for
the income covenant. Future compliance with the covenants under its Working Capital Revolving
Credit Facility depends on Brookwoods military orders increasing from the levels in the 2010
fourth quarter and 2011 first quarter.
Brookwood continuously evaluates opportunities to reduce production costs and expand its
manufacturing capacity and portfolio of products. Accordingly, Brookwood incurs capital
expenditures to pursue such opportunities, as well as for environmental and safety compliance,
building upgrades, energy efficiencies, and various strategic objectives. In the 2011 first quarter
and for all of 2010, Brookwood met its capital expenditure and equipment maintenance requirements
from its operating cash flows and availability under its Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility.
There were no material capital commitments as of March 31, 2011. It is anticipated that Brookwoods
future capital expenditure projects will be funded from operations and, if necessary, availability
under its Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility. Brookwood estimates its 2011 capital
expenditures will be within a range of $3,000,000 to $4,000,000.
Investments in Financial Instruments. In the 2011 first quarter, the Company opened an
investment account with UBS and intends to transfer a significant portion of the cash it holds from
time to time to the UBS account to be placed in various financial instruments and may borrow
additional amounts from UBS to invest on a leveraged basis, including in equity and debt that is
publicly traded or is issued by United States and foreign publicly traded companies, financial
institutions, mutual funds and exchange traded funds. As of May 16, 2011, no funds have been
transferred into the UBS account. The Companys ability to transfer funds to the UBS account will
depend in part on the availability of dividends from the Companys Brookwood subsidiary. KeyBanc
has requested that Brookwood demonstrate its projected compliance with the covenants under its
Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility for the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection with
consenting to the payment of dividends to the Company. The Company anticipates that in May 2011,
KeyBanc will consent to a dividend payment of $1,000,000 to the Company, which will be paid by
Brookwood to the Company. In addition, Brookwood anticipates seeking consent from KeyBanc for an
additional payment of $5,000,000, which the Company intends to transfer into the UBS account to
fund the planned investment activities, subject to the previously discussed clarification from the
Court in the Hallwood Energy litigation matters.
Companys Future Liquidity. The Companys ability to generate cash flow from operations will
depend on its future performance,
Page 29
THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
including the level and timing of military sales, and its ability
to successfully implement business and growth strategies. The Companys performance will also be
affected by the outcome of its litigation matters and prevailing economic conditions. Many of these
factors are beyond the Companys control. Considering its current cash position, anticipated cash
flow from operations and availability under the Brookwood Working Capital Revolving Credit
Facility, the Company believes it has sufficient funds to meet its liquidity needs for the next
twelve months.
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in a number of litigation matters. Although the
Company does not believe that the results of any of these matters are likely to have a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, it is possible that
any of these matters could result in material liability to the Company. In addition, the Company
has spent and will continue to spend significant amounts in professional fees and associated costs
in connection with these matters.
Forward-Looking Statements
In the interest of providing stockholders with certain information regarding the
Companys future plans and operations, certain statements set forth in this Form 10-Q relate
to managements future plans, objectives and expectations. Such statements 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
Companys 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 those described in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 in Item 1A.
- Risk Factors. 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 Companys periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the

by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys control over financial reporting.
