THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
(unaudited)
Note 1 Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Accounting Policies and
New Accounting Pronouncements
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The interim condensed consolidated
financial statements of The Hallwood Group Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the Company) (AMEX:
HWG) 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 condensed, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated 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, 2006.
Organization. The Company is a holding company that currently operates in the textile products
and energy business segments.
Textile
Products. Textile products operations are conducted through the
Companys wholly
owned Brookwood Companies Incorporated subsidiary (Brookwood). Brookwood is an integrated textile
firm that develops and produces innovative fabrics and related products through specialized
finishing, treating and coating processes. Brookwoods subsidiary, Strategic Technical
Alliance, LLC (STA) markets advanced breathable, waterproof laminate and other
fabrics primarily for military applications. Continued development of these fabrics for military,
industrial and consumer applications is a key element of
Brookwoods business plan.
Textile products accounts for substantially all of the Companys operating revenues.
Energy. Prior to December 31, 2005, the Company had investments in Hallwood Energy Corporation
(HEC), which was sold in December 2004 and Hallwood Energy III, L.P. (HE III), which was sold
in July 2005, Hallwood Energy II, L.P. (HE II), Hallwood Energy 4, L.P. (HE 4) and Hallwood
Exploration, L.P. (Hallwood Exploration). The Company owned between 20% and 28% of the entities
(between 16% and 22% on a fully diluted basis) and accounted for the investments using the equity
method of accounting, recording its pro rata share of net income (loss), stockholders
equity/partners capital transaction and comprehensive income (loss).
Effective December 31, 2005, HE II and Hallwood Exploration were consolidated into HE 4, which
was renamed Hallwood Energy, L.P. (Hallwood Energy). At the consolidation date, Hallwood Energy
was principally involved in acquiring oil and gas leases and drilling, gathering and sale of
natural gas in the Barnett Shale formation located in Parker, Hood and Tarrant Counties in North
Texas and the Barnett Shale and Woodford Shale formations in Reeves and Culberson Counties in West
Texas and in the Fayetteville Shale formation of Central Eastern Arkansas, and conducting 3-D
seismic surveys over optioned land covering a Salt Dome in South Louisiana in order to determine
how best to proceed with exploratory activity.
Following the completion of the energy consolidation on December 31, 2005, all energy
activities are conducted by Hallwood Energy. Subsequent to the July 2006 sale of its properties in
North Texas (discussed below), Hallwood Energys management has classified its energy investments
into three identifiable areas: Central Eastern Arkansas, South Louisiana and West Texas.
In June 2006, Hallwood Energy completed the sale of a 60% undivided working interest in its
oil and gas properties in Reeves and Culberson Counties in West Texas and all of its interest in
the properties in Parker, Hood and Tarrant Counties in North Texas to Chesapeake Energy Corporation
(Chesapeake). Chesapeake assumed operation of these properties. See Note 3.
At March 31, 2007, the Company owned approximately 25% (20% after consideration of profit
interests) of Hallwood Energy.
New Accounting Pronouncements.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). The Company adopted the provisions of
FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements
in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes, and prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement process for financial

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company has completed its evaluation and has determined that there are no significant
uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements. The
evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the tax
years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2007. The
Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over
the next 12 months.
The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax
jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to its
financial results. In the event the Company incurs interest and/or penalties, they will be
classified in the financial statements as interest expense or administrative and selling expense,
respectively.

At March 31, 2007, the Company owned approximately 25% (20% after consideration of profit
interests) of Hallwood Energy. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of
accounting and records its pro rata share of Hallwood Energys net income (loss) and partner
capital transactions.
Hallwood Energy is an upstream energy partnership engaging in the acquisition, development,
exploration, production, and sale of hydrocarbons, with a primary focus on natural gas assets.
Hallwood Energys results of operations are and will be largely dependent on a variety of variable
factors, including, but not limited to fluctuations in natural gas prices; success of its
exploratory drilling activities; the ability to transport and sell its natural gas; regional and
national regulatory matters; and the ability to secure, and price of, goods and services necessary
to develop its oil and gas leases.

(unaudited)
In July 2006, Hallwood Energy completed the sale of a 60% undivided working interest in its
oil and gas properties in Reeves and Culberson Counties in West Texas and all of its interest in
the properties in Parker, Hood and Tarrant Counties in North Texas to Chesapeake. Chesapeake
assumed operation of these properties. Following the July 2006 sale, Hallwood Energys management
classified its energy investments into three identifiable areas: Delaware Basin, Texas; South
Louisiana and East Arkansas.
Certain of the Companys officers and directors are investors in Hallwood Energy. In addition,
as members of management of Hallwood Energy, one director and officer and one officer of the
Company hold a profit interest in Hallwood Energy.
A description of Hallwood Energys activities during 2007 are provided below.
Loan Financing. In February 2006, Hallwood Energy entered into a $65,000,000 loan facility,
and had drawn $40,000,000 as of December 31, 2006. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, Hallwood Energy
was not in compliance with the proved collateral coverage ratio.
In March 2007 and April 2007, the Company advanced $5,000,000 and $4,000,000, respectively, to
Hallwood Energy, of which $7,000,000 was in the form of demand notes bearing interest at 6% above
prime rate, and $2,000,000 was an advance that was repaid four days later with interest. In April
2007, Hallwood Energy made a request for additional capital contributions in the amount of
$25,000,000 (the April Call). The Company and Hallwood Energy had agreed that the $7,000,000
amount previously advanced would be applied as the Companys portion of this capital call. On May
10, 2007, Hallwood Energy repaid $257,000 to the Company, which represented the excess of the
$7,000,000 advanced over the Companys share of the capital contribution and related
oversubscription.
In April 2007, Hallwood Energy entered into a $100,000,000 senior secured credit facility (the
Credit Facility) with an affiliate of one of the investors and drew $65,000,000 from the Credit
Facility. The proceeds were used to repay $40,000,000 in an existing note payable, pay
approximately $9,800,000 for a make-whole fee and incremental interest of approximately $500,000 to
the original lender related to the $40,000,000 note payable, and transaction fees of approximately
$200,000. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by Hallwood Energys oil and gas leases,
mature on February 1, 2010, and bear interest at a rate of the defined LIBOR rate plus 10.75% per
annum. An additional 2% of interest is added upon continuance of any defaulting event. The new
lender may demand that Hallwood Energy prepay the outstanding loans in the event of a defined
change of control, qualified sale or event of default, including a material adverse event. In
conjunction with executing the Credit Facility, the new lender resigned its position on the board
of directors and assigned its general partner interest to the remaining members.
Provided that Hallwood Energy raises $25,000,000 through an equity call or through debt
subordinate to the Credit Facility (discussed below), the new lender will match subsequent amounts
raised on a dollar for dollar basis up to the remaining $35,000,000 under the Credit Facility
through the availability termination date of July 31, 2008. Hallwood Energy successfully completed
the $25,000,000 April Call in May 2007, of which the Company contributed $6,743,000.
The Credit Facility contains various financial covenants, including maximum general and
administrative expenditures and current and proved collateral coverage ratios. The proved
collateral coverage ratio is effective June 30, 2008. Non-financial covenants restrict the ability
of Hallwood Energy to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness
or amend certain debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, enter into sale and
leaseback transactions, make investments, loans or advances, make acquisitions, engage in mergers
or consolidations or engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and otherwise restrict certain
activities by Hallwood Energy.
The Credit Facility contains a make-whole provision whereby Hallwood Energy is required to pay
the lender the amount by which the present value of interest and principal from the date of
prepayment through January 31, 2009, exceeds the principal amount on the prepayment date. The
lender received warrants exercisable for 2.5% of the partnership interests at an exercise price of
2.5% of 125% of the amount of the total capital contributed to Hallwood Energy at December 31,
2006.
Equity Investments. In November 2006, Hallwood Energy requested an additional capital
contribution in the amount of $25,000,000 from its partners. The Company invested an additional
$6,281,000 to maintain its proportionate interest in Hallwood Energy. The Company utilized a
$452,000 capital contribution receivable to reduce its cash contribution to $5,829,000. In
addition, certain other investors in Hallwood Energy did not elect to fund their proportionate
interest of the additional capital contribution; therefore, in December 2006, the Company invested
an additional $425,000 and $2,000 in January 2007 in excess of its proportionate interest. These
contributions were made from existing cash.

(unaudited)
Hallwood Energy issued the $25,000,000 April Call to its partners on April 14, 2007.
Previously, Hallwood Energy received cash advances of $7,000,000 each from the Company and an
affiliate of the new lender. These advances were applied to the April Call. In May, Hallwood Energy
repaid $257,000 to the Company, which represented the excess of the $7,000,000 advanced over the
Companys share of the capital contribution and related oversubscription.
Hallwood Energy issued a $20,000,000 equity call to its partners on May 21, 2007 (the May
Call), which is due on July 1, 2007. The Companys proportionate share of the equity call is
$5,091,000. The Company currently intends to fund approximately
$2,500,000 of the May Call, but does not have funds available to
contribute substantial additional capital in connection with that or
future calls.
For the funds received as a result of the April Call and the May Call, Hallwood Energy issued
or will issue preferred partnership interests that will have a preferential right to any distributions made by
Hallwood Energy from operations or upon liquidation. The preferential right will be equal to the
amount of the capital contributed with respect to the preferred interest plus 16% per annum,
compounded monthly. The preferred interests will receive this priority return before any amounts
are paid to the common interests issued for all previous investments in Hallwood Energy. The
capital contributed plus the accumulated 16% return attributable to any preferred interest is also
convertible to common partnership interests at any time at a price equal to the price of the common
partnership interests at December 31, 2006. Distributions on the preferred partnership interests
will initially be accrued and become payable when, as and if declared by the general partner of
Hallwood Energy. Hallwood Energy does not anticipate paying any distributions in the foreseeable
future.
In
April 2007, Hallwood Investments Limited (HIL), a
corporation associated with Mr. Anthony J. Gumbiner the
Companys chairman and principal stockholder, and the new lender have each committed to fund one-half of the April Call
and potential additional equity or subordinated debt funding calls totaling $55,000,000 by Hallwood
Energy, to the extent other investors, including the Company, do not
respond to a call. Pursuant to this commitment, HIL intends to fund
that portion of the May Call that the Company does not fund. The
Company and Mr. Gumbiner have agreed to discuss in the future
the terms on which HIL will make this funding as between the
Company and HIL.
Litigation. In early 2006, Hallwood Energy entered into two two-year contracts with Eagle
Drilling, LLC (subsequently Eagle Drilling Operations, LLC), under which the contractor was to
provide drilling rigs and crews to drill wells in Arkansas at a daily rate of $18,500, plus certain
expenses for each rig. In August 2006, one of the rigs provided by the contractor collapsed.
Hallwood Energy requested the contractor to provide assurances that the other rig, and any rig
provided to replace the collapsed rig, were safe and met the requirements of the contracts. When
the contractor refused to provide these assurances, Hallwood Energy notified the contractor that
the contracts were terminated and on September 6, 2006, filed Hallwood Petroleum, LLC and Hallwood
Energy, L.P. v. Eagle Drilling, LLC and Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations, LLC, in the
348th District Court of Tarrant County, Texas to recover approximately $1,688,000
previously deposited with the contractor under the contracts. Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations,
LLC has asserted damages in excess of $22,000,000 against Hallwood Energy, principally for breach
of contract. Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations, LLC and its parent have since filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection. Hallwood Energy is currently unable to determine the impact of this matter
on its results of operations and financial position.

credit facility in an amount up to $22,000,000 with Key Bank National Association (the Key Working
Capital Revolving Credit Facility). Borrowings are collateralized by accounts receivable,
certain finished goods inventory, machinery and equipment and all of the issued and outstanding

covenants. The interest rate was a blended rate of 7.21% and 7.16% at March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2007 was $13,686,000 and
Brookwood had approximately $8,314,000 of borrowing availability under this facility.
Equipment Term Loans. Brookwood has a revolving equipment credit facility in an amount up to
$3,000,000 with Key Bank. Interest rates for the equipment loans varied between 5.60% and 8.60%,
with a blended rate of 7.02% and 7.17% at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The
outstanding balance at March 31, 2007 was $369,000 and Brookwood had $2,631,000 of borrowing
availability under this facility.
Loan Covenants. As of the end of the first quarter in 2007 and all of the quarters in 2006,
Brookwood was in compliance with its loan covenants. The Key Working Capital Revolving Credit
Facility provides for a total debt to tangible net worth ratio covenant and a covenant that
Brookwood shall maintain a quarterly minimum net income of not less than one dollar. Cash dividends
and tax sharing payments to the Company are contingent upon
Brookwoods compliance with the
covenants contained in the loan agreement.
Renewal of Credit Facilities. Both of the Key Bank facilities, which had original maturities
of January 2007, were renewed in March 2006 for a period of three years with a new maturity of
January 30, 2010. The amounts of the respective facilities and the loan covenants were unchanged;
however, the interest rate on the Key Working Capital Revolving Credit Facility was reduced, at
Brookwoods option, from Prime plus 0.25% or Libor plus 1.75% 3.00% (variable depending on
compliance ratios).
Note 5 Stockholders Equity
Stock Options. The Company established the 1995 Stock Option Plan for The Hallwood Group
Incorporated which authorized the granting of nonqualified stock options to employees, directors
and consultants of the Company. The 1995 Plan authorized options to purchase up to 244,800 shares
of common stock of the Company. The exercise prices of all options granted were at the fair market
value of the Companys stock on the date of grant, had an expiration date of ten years from date of
grant and were fully vested on the date of grant.
At March 31, 2007, the Company had 12,000 fully vested outstanding options, of which 7,500
expire in September 2007 and 4,500 expire in May 2010. The 1995 Stock Option Plan terminated on
June 27, 2005. Options issued prior to the termination are not affected, however, no new options
can be issued under the 1995 Plan.
In January 2007, one officer of the Company exercised options to purchase 2,250 shares of the
Companys common stock that were scheduled to expire in February 2007. The officer paid the
exercise price and related tax withholding requirement by exchanging an equivalent number of common
shares valued at the fair market value of the common stock at the time of exercise. The net result
of the exercise and exchange was the issuance of 1,273 shares from treasury at an average carrying
value of $14.97 per share.

The net deferred tax asset was $5,571,000 and $1,655,000 at March 31, 2007 and December
31, 2006, respectively. The deferred tax asset was comprised of projected taxable losses that can
be carried back for a refund, temporary differences, that upon reversal, can be utilized to offset
income from operations and $531,000 of alternative minimum tax credits. The effective federal tax
rate in both periods was 34%, while state taxes were determined based upon taxable income
apportioned to those states in which the Company does business at their respective tax rates.
Prepaid federal income taxes, attributable to the anticipated carryback of its 2006 taxable
loss was $3,861,000 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Company filed an application for
tentative refund with the Internal Revenue Service in March 2007 and received a $1,000,000 refund
in April 2007. The Company expects to file a carryback of its 2006 taxable loss to obtain an
additional refund in September 2007.

Note 9
Litigation, Contingencies and Commitments
Reference is made to Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Litigation. From time to time, the Company, 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. In the Companys opinion, no litigation in which the Company, subsidiaries
or affiliates is a party is likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition,
results of operation or cash flows.
Hallwood Energy. As a significant investor in Hallwood Energy, the Company may be impacted by
litigation involving Hallwood Energy. Refer to Note 3 for a further description of certain
litigation involving Hallwood Energy.
Environmental Contingencies. A number of jurisdictions in which the Company operates 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
business to date, it is possible that such considerations may have a significant and adverse impact
in the future. The Company actively monitors its environmental compliance and while certain matters
currently exist, management is not aware of any compliance issues which will significantly impact
the financial position, operations or cash flows of the Company.
In August 2005, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) issued a compliance order to
Kenyon, alleging that Kenyon is a non-community water system and ordering Kenyon to comply with the
RIDOH program for public water supply systems. Kenyon contested the compliance order and an
administrative hearing was held in November 2005. No decision has been rendered. Complying with the
RIDOH requirements would necessitate revamping of the plants water supply system and associated
costs of approximately $100,000.
In August 2005, Brookwood received a Notice of Alleged Violation from The Rhode Island
Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) with notification that Brookwood had
failed to comply timely with a requirement to test the destruction efficiency of a thermal oxidizer
at its Kenyon plant and that when the test was conducted the equipment was not operating at the
required efficiency. Since that time, Brookwood has upgraded and retested the equipment, which met
the requirements on the retest. RIDEM has requested additional information regarding the failed
test and Brookwoods remedial actions, which Kenyon has provided. In February 2007, RIDEM issued a
Notice of Violation (NOV) accompanied by a $14,000 fine. Kenyon requested an informal hearing to
dispute the allegations in the NOV and the fine. As a result of the informal hearing held on March
30, 2007, a consent agreement was executed and a $9,500 fine was remitted to RIDEM to close this
matter.

Item 2. |

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Overview
General. The Company is a holding company with interests in textiles and energy. Although the
Companys textile activities have generated positive cash flow in recent years, there is no
assurance that this trend will continue. In addition, Hallwood Energy will require significant
additional capital investment over the next few years to acquire additional properties and to
adequately explore and develop existing and any new properties.
Textile Products. The Company derives substantially 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 will be
influenced in varying degrees by its ability to continue sales to existing customers, cost and
availability of supplies, Brookwoods response to competition, its ability to generate new markets
and products and the effect of global trade regulation.
While Brookwood has enjoyed substantial growth in its military business, there is no assurance
this trend will continue. Brookwoods sales to the customers from whom it derives its military
business have been more 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 $12,036,000 for the 2007 first quarter were 23.5% lower than
the comparable period amount of $15,728,000 in 2006.
The military has recently limited orders for existing products and adopted revised
specifications for new products to replace the products for which Brookwoods customers have been
suppliers. While any change in specifications or orders presents a potential opportunity for
additional sales, it is a continuing challenge to adjust to changing specifications and production
requirements. Brookwood is currently conducting research and development on various processes and
products intended to comply with the revised specifications and participating in the bidding
process for new military products. The U.S. government has recently released orders for goods that
include Brookwoods 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. In addition, the U.S. government is releasing contracts for shorter periods than in the
past. Therefore, the Company is unable at this time to predict future sales trends.
Unstable global nylon and chemical pricing, coupled with domestic energy costs, are causing
overall cost increases, which, together with product mix, have negatively impacted Brookwoods
margins, a trend that appears likely to continue.
Brookwood continues to identify new market niches intended to replace sales lost to importers.
In addition to its existing products and proprietary technologies, Brookwood has been developing
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 enterprise value of
Brookwood is contingent on its ability to maintain its level of military business and adapt to the
global textile industry; however, 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 industry is also significantly affected by legislation and administrative actions
restricting or liberalizing trade among world textile producing and consuming countries such as the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the
anti-dumping and countervailing duty remedies and enforcement activities by the U.S. Government,
and the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to other currencies and world economic developments.
However, under NAFTA there are no textile and apparel quotas between the U.S. and either Mexico or
Canada for products that meet certain origin criteria. Tariffs among the three countries are either
already zero or are being phased out. Also, the WTO recently phased out textile and apparel quotas.
The U.S. has also approved the Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement
(CAFTA) with five Central American countries (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and
Nicaragua). Under CAFTA, textiles and apparel originating from CAFTA countries will be duty and
quota-free, provided that yarn formed in the U.S. or other CAFTA-DR countries is used to produce
the fabric. In addition, the United States recently implemented bilateral free trade agreements
with Bahrain, Chile, Israel, Jordan, Morocco and Singapore. Although these actions have the effect
of exposing Brookwoods market to the lower price structures of the other countries and, therefore,
continuing to increase competitive pressures, management is not able to predict their specific
impact.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
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.
Energy. Hallwood Energy is an upstream energy partnership engaging in the acquisition,
development, exploration, production, and sale of hydrocarbons, with a primary focus on natural gas
assets. Hallwood Energys results of operations are and will be largely dependent on a variety of
variable factors, including, but not limited to fluctuations in natural gas prices; success of its
exploratory drilling activities; the ability to transport and sell its natural gas; regional and
national regulatory matters; and the ability to secure, and price of, goods and services necessary
to develop its oil and gas leases. As of March 31, 2007, the Company owned approximately 25% (20%
after consideration of profits interests) of Hallwood Energy.
Refer also to the section Investments in Energy Affiliates for a further description of the
Companys energy activities.
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 net loss for the 2007 first quarter was $7,324,000, compared to net income of $464,000 in
2006. Revenue for the 2007 first quarter was $28,308,000, compared to $30,775,000 in 2006.
Revenues
Textile products sales of $28,308,000 decreased by $2,467,000, or 8.0%, in the 2007 first
quarter, compared to $30,775,000, in 2006. The decrease was principally due to a decline of sales
of specialty fabric to U.S. military contractors as a result of decreased orders from the military
to Brookwoods customers, because of a limitation by the military for orders of existing products
and the adoption of revised specifications for new products to replace the products for which
Brookwoods customers have been suppliers. The decline in military sales was partially offset by
Brookwoods development and marketing of new products and continued upgrade of its production
equipment.
Sales to one customer, Tennier Industries, Inc. (Tennier) accounted for more than 10% of
Brookwoods net sales during both the 2007 and 2006 periods. Its relationship with Tennier is
ongoing. Sales to Tennier, which are included in military sales, were $6,895,000 in the 2007 first
quarter, compared to $9,544,000 in 2006, which represented 24.4% and 31.0% of its net sales,
respectively. Sales to another customer, ORC Industries, Inc. (ORC) accounted for more than 10%
of Brookwoods sales in 2006. Its relationship with ORC is ongoing. Sales to ORC, which are also
included in military sales, were $2,206,000 in the 2007 first quarter, compared to $3,830,000 in
2006, which represented 7.8% and 12.4% of its net sales, respectively.
Through 2005, military sales, including the sales to Tennier and ORC, generally comprised an
increased portion of Brookwoods total sales and a greater share of gross profit. However,
Brookwood has experienced reduced military sales since 2005. Military sales accounted for
$12,036,000 and $15,728,000 in the 2007 and 2006 first quarters, respectively, which represented
42.5% and 51.1% of its net sales, respectively.

Expenses
Textile products cost of sales of $24,289,000 for the 2007 first quarter decreased by
$530,000, or 2.1%, compared to $24,819,000 in 2006. The 2007 decrease principally resulted from
reduced sales, changes in product mix and decreased energy costs of $137,000. Cost of sales
includes all costs associated with the manufacturing process, including but not limited to,
materials, labor, utilities, 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 reduced gross profit margin for the 2007 first quarter (14.2% versus 19.4%) principally
resulted from changes in customer volume and product mix.
Administrative and selling expenses were comprised of the following (in thousands):

Textile products administrative and selling expenses of $3,521,000 for the 2007 first
quarter increased by $40,000, or 1.1%, from the 2006 amount of $3,481,000. The increase was
primarily attributable to higher professional fees in 2007. The textile products administrative and
selling expenses included items such as payroll, professional fees, sales commissions, marketing,
rent, insurance, travel and royalties. Brookwood conducts research and development activities
related to the exploration, development and production of innovative products and technologies.
Research and development costs were approximately $174,000 and $123,000 in the 2007 and 2006
quarters, respectively.
Corporate administrative expenses were $1,083,000 for the 2007 first quarter, compared to
$1,169,000 for 2006. The decrease of $86,000, or 7.4%, was principally attributable to reduced
professional fees of $141,000 and lower reimbursement of office expenses to HIL of $65,000,
partially offset by an increase in Sarbanes Oxley costs of $65,000.
Other Income (Loss)
Equity loss from the Companys investments in Hallwood Energy, related to the Companys pro
rata share of loss in Hallwood Energy, was $10,503,000 in the 2007 first quarter, compared to
$350,000 in 2006. In the 2007 first quarter, Hallwood Energy recorded an impairment of $31,680,000
associated with its oil and gas properties and accrued $7,100,000 as a portion of a make-whole fee
in connection with a May 2007 prepayment of a loan. The make-whole fee was included in interest
expense. The Company earned interest income of $12,000 in the 2007 first quarter from a loan it
made to Hallwood Energy in March 2007. The 2006 results for Hallwood Energy include production from
two wells in the Fort Worth Basin.
Interest expense of $226,000 in the 2007 first quarter and $117,000 for the 2006 quarter,
principally relates to Brookwoods Key Bank revolving credit facility. The increase in interest
expense was principally due to an increase in the average outstanding loan amount and higher
interest rates.
Interest and other income was $181,000 in the 2007 first quarter, compared to $108,000 in
2006. The 2007 increase was principally due to the gain from the sale of a marketable security sold
in March 2007, partially offset by reduced interest income earned on lower balances of cash and
cash equivalents.

At March 31, 2007, the deferred tax asset was attributable to projected taxable losses
that can be carried back for a refund, temporary differences, that upon reversal, could be utilized
to offset income from operations and alternative minimum tax credits. The effective federal tax
rate in both periods was 34%, while state taxes are determined based upon taxable income
apportioned to those states in which the Company does business at their respective tax rates.
Investments in and Loans to Hallwood Energy, L.P.
At March 31, 2007, the Company owned approximately 25% (20% after consideration of profits
interests) of Hallwood Energy. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of
accounting and records its pro rata share of Hallwood Energys net income (loss) and partner
capital transactions.
A description of Hallwood Energys activities during 2007 are provided below.
Loan Financing. In February 2006, Hallwood Energy entered into a $65,000,000 loan facility,
and had drawn $40,000,000 as of December 31, 2006. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, Hallwood Energy
was not in compliance with the proved collateral coverage ratio.
In March and April 2007, the Company advanced a total of $5,000,000 and $4,000,000,
respectively, to Hallwood Energy, of which $7,000,000 was in the form of demand notes bearing
interest at 6% above prime rate, and $2,000,000 was an advance that was repaid four days later with
interest. In April 2007, Hallwood Energy made a request for additional capital contributions in the
amount of $25,000,000 (the April Call). The Company and Hallwood Energy had agreed that the
$7,000,000 amount previously advanced would be applied as the Companys portion of this capital
call. On May 10, 2007, Hallwood Energy repaid $257,000 to the Company, which represented the excess
of the $7,000,000 advanced over the Companys share of the capital contribution and related
oversubscription.
In April 2007, Hallwood Energy entered into a $100,000,000 senior secured credit facility (the
Credit Facility) with an affiliate of one of the investors and drew $65,000,000 from the Credit
Facility. The proceeds were used to repay $40,000,000 in an existing note payable, pay
approximately $9,800,000 for a make-whole fee and incremental interest of approximately $500,000 to
the original lender related to the $40,000,000 note payable, and transaction fees of approximately
$200,000. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by Hallwood Energys oil and gas leases,
mature on February 1, 2010, and bear interest at a rate of the defined LIBOR rate plus 10.75% per
annum. An additional 2% of interest is added upon continuance of any defaulting event. The new
lender may demand that Hallwood Energy prepay the outstanding loans in the event of a defined
change of control, qualified sale or event of default, including a material adverse event. In
conjunction with executing the Credit Facility, the new lender resigned its position on the board
of directors and assigned its general partner interest to the remaining members.
Provided that Hallwood Energy raises $25,000,000 through an equity call or through debt
subordinate to the Credit Facility (discussed below), the new lender will match subsequent amounts
raised on a dollar for dollar basis up to the remaining
Page 21

Item 2. |

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
$35,000,000 under the Credit Facility through the availability termination date of July 31, 2008. Hallwood Energy successfully completed
the April Call in May 2007, of which the Company contributed $6,743,000.
The Credit Facility contains various financial covenants, including maximum general and
administrative expenditures and current and proved collateral coverage ratios. The proved
collateral coverage ratio is effective June 30, 2008. Non-financial covenants restrict the ability
of Hallwood Energy to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness
or amend certain debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, enter into sale and
leaseback transactions, make investments, loans or advances, make acquisitions, engage in mergers
or consolidations or engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and otherwise restrict certain
activities by Hallwood Energy.
The Credit Facility contains a make-whole provision whereby Hallwood Energy is required to pay
the lender the amount by which the present value of interest and principal from the date of
prepayment through January 31, 2009, exceeds the principal amount on the prepayment date. The
lender received warrants exercisable for 2.5% of the partnership interests at an exercise price of
2.5% of 125% of the amount of the total capital contributed to Hallwood Energy at December 31,
2006.
Equity Investments. In November 2006, Hallwood Energy requested an additional capital
contribution in the amount of $25,000,000 from its partners. The Company invested an additional
$6,281,000 to maintain its proportionate interest in Hallwood Energy. The Company utilized a
$452,000 capital contribution receivable to reduce its cash contribution to $5,829,000. In
addition, certain other investors in Hallwood Energy did not elect to fund their proportionate
interest of the additional capital contribution; therefore, in December 2006, the Company invested
an additional $425,000 and $2,000 in January 2007 in excess of its proportionate interest. These
contributions were made.
Hallwood Energy issued a $25,000,000 equity call, the April Call, to its partners on April 14,
2007. Previously, Hallwood Energy received cash advances of $7,000,000 each from the Company and an
affiliate of the new lender. These advances were applied to the April Call. In May, Hallwood Energy
repaid $257,000 to the Company, which represented the excess of the $7,000,000 advanced over the
Companys share of the capital contribution and related oversubscription.
Hallwood Energy issued a $20,000,000 equity call to its partners on May 21, 2007 (the May
Call), which is due on July 1, 2007. The Companys proportionate share of the equity call is
$5,091,000. The Company anticipates that it will contribute
$2,500,000 towards the May Call, but does not have funds available to
contribute substantial additional capital in connection with that or
future calls.
For the funds received as a result of the April Call and the May Call, Hallwood Energy issued
or will issue preferred partnership interests that will have a preferential right to any distributions made by
Hallwood Energy from operations or upon liquidation. The preferential right will be equal to the
amount of the capital contributed with respect to the preferred interest plus 16% per annum,
compounded monthly. The preferred interests will receive this priority return before any amounts
are paid to the common interests issued for all previous investments in Hallwood Energy. The
capital contributed plus the accumulated 16% return attributable to any preferred interest is also
convertible to common partnership interests at any time at a price equal to the price of the common
partnership interests at December 31, 2006. Distributions on the preferred partnership interests
will initially be accrued and become payable when, as and if declared by the general partner of
Hallwood Energy. Hallwood Energy does not anticipate paying any distributions in the foreseeable
future.
In
April 2007, Hallwood Investments Limited (HIL), a
corporation associated with Mr. Anthony J. Gumbiner the
Companys chairman and principal stockholder, and the new lender have each committed to fund one-half of the April Call
and potential additional equity or subordinated debt funding calls totaling $55,000,000 by Hallwood
Energy, to the extent other investors, including the Company, do not
respond to a call. Pursuant to this commitment, HIL intends to fund
that portion of the May Call that the Company does not fund. The
Company and Mr. Gumbiner have agreed to discuss in the future
the terms on which HIL will make this funding as between the
Company and HIL.
Litigation. In early 2006, Hallwood Energy entered into two two-year contracts with Eagle
Drilling, LLC (subsequently Eagle Drilling Operations, LLC), under which the contractor was to
provide drilling rigs and crews to drill wells in Arkansas at a daily rate of $18,500, plus certain
expenses for each rig. In August 2006, one of the rigs provided by the contractor collapsed.
Hallwood Energy requested the contractor to provide assurances that the other rig, and any rig
provided to replace the collapsed rig, were safe and met the requirements of the contracts. When
the contractor refused to provide these assurances, Hallwood Energy notified the contractor that
the contracts were terminated and on September 6, 2006, filed Hallwood Petroleum, LLC and Hallwood
Energy, L.P. v. Eagle Drilling, LLC and Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations, LLC, in the
348th District Court of Tarrant County, Texas to recover approximately $1,688,000
previously deposited with the contractor under the contracts. Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations,
LLC has asserted damages in excess of $22,000,000 against Hallwood Energy, principally for breach
of contract. Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations, LLC and its parent have since filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection. Hallwood Energy is currently unable to determine the impact of this matter
on its results of operations and financial position.

Central Eastern Arkansas
The primary objective formation is the Fayetteville Shale, which appears to range in depth
from approximately 2,700 to 9,400 feet and to have a thickness of 300 to 700 feet.
Hallwood Energy commenced drilling activities in the 2006 first quarter and is currently
drilling with two rigs under a long term contract, which also provides for four additional rigs.
However, Hallwood Energy is currently in negotiations with the rig contractor to revise the
contract to provide for three rigs with capabilities more suited to Hallwood Energys properties.
Hallwood Energys 2007 budget forecasts 25 gross wells to be drilled in this area utilizing the
three rigs. Hallwood Gathering, L.P. is currently constructing a 15 mile eight-inch gathering
system in White County with an initial capacity of 6 million cubic feet of gas per day (Mcf/d),
with expansion potential to 60 Mcf/d. Natural gas sales are expected to begin by July 2007.

South Louisiana
Hallwood Energy holds options to acquire leases over approximately 17,000 acres to exploit a
salt dome oil and gas opportunity in St. James, Ascension and Assumption parishes. Based on the
results of the 3-D seismic data that has been analyzed, approximately 4,000 to 8,000 acres are
expected to be retained for future development. Hallwood Energy has secured two rigs, the first rig
started in October 2006 and has recently fulfilled its two well commitment. The second rig began
drilling in December 2006 and is under contract for two years. The expectations for 2007 are that 6
wells will be drilled. Additional drilling equipment and funding will be assessed and determined
based on the results of the initial wells.
West Texas
Hallwood Energy sold a 60% interest and transferred operations in these properties to
Chesapeake in July 2006. Chesapeake has drilled to total depth on three wells. One of these wells
is currently producing and selling gas, one well is currently being completed, and the third well
is waiting on completion. Under the sales agreement with Chesapeake, two rigs were to complete
drilling of the wells on which they were then being used and after being deployed elsewhere, both
rigs would resume drilling on these properties in the second quarter of 2007. The 2007 budget calls
for these rigs to drill five gross wells in West Texas during the year.
Fort Worth Basin, North Texas
These properties were sold to Chesapeake in July 2006. Hallwood Energy no longer has any
involvement in activities related to these properties. Hallwood Energys operating revenues in the
year ended December 31, 2006 were from the two producing wells on these properties.
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, 2006.
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 and for travel and
related expenses to and from the Companys United States office. In addition, the Company also
reimbursed Mr. Gumbiner for services, meals and other personal expenses related to the office
separately maintained by Mr. Gumbiner. At Mr. Gumbiners recommendation, the Companys board of
directors determined in 2006 that the reimbursement for personal expenses related to his office
would not continue after November 2006.

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.
HIL shares common offices, facilities and certain staff in its Dallas office with the Company.
The Company pays certain common general and administrative expenses and charges HIL an overhead
reimbursement fee for its allocable share of the expenses. For the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, HIL reimbursed the Company $38,000 and $38,000, respectively, for such expenses.
In April 2007, HIL committed to fund one-half of potential additional equity or subordinated
debt funding calls of $55,000,000 (or $27,500,000) by Hallwood Energy, to the extent other
investors, including the Company, do not respond to a call.
Hallwood Energy. Hallwood Energy shares common offices, facilities and certain staff in its
Dallas office with the Company. Hallwood Energy reimburses the Company for its allocable share of
the expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, Hallwood Energy reimbursed the
Company $61,000 and $70,000, respectively for such expenses.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
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 attract, retain and motivate key personnel of
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 $22,686,000 at March 31, 2007). Provided
certain circumstances are met, the minimum total award amount shall be $2,000,000. In addition, if
certain members of Brookwood senior management do not have at least a two percent equity or debt
interest in the entity with which the change of control transaction is completed, then the Company
will be obligated to pay an additional $2,600,000.
Hallwood Energy. The Companys Hallwood Energy affiliate has various contractual obligations
and commercial commitments. At March 31, 2007, such obligations and commitments included
$40,000,000 for long-term debt, $11,124,000 for interest, $94,966,000 for long-term rig commitments
and $51,000 for operating leases.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General. The Company principally operates in the textile products and energy business
segments. The Companys cash position decreased by $4,170,000 during the 2007 first quarter
to $5,884,000 as of March 31, 2007. The principal source of cash in 2007 was $3,163,000 from net
bank borrowings. The primary uses of cash were $1,957,000 for operating activities, $5,002,000 for
an additional investment in Hallwood Energy and $375,000 for property, plant and equipment.
Textiles. The Companys textile products segment generates funds from the dyeing,
laminating and finishing of fabrics and their sale to customers in the consumer, industrial,
medical and military markets. Brookwood maintains a $22,000,000 revolving line of credit facility
and a $3,000,000 equipment facility with Key Bank. The facilities have a maturity date of January
2010. At March 31, 2007, Brookwood had approximately $8,314,000 of unused borrowing capacity on its
revolving line of credit facility and $2,631,000 on its equipment credit facility.
Brookwood paid cash dividends to the Company of $3,000,000 in the four month period ended
April 30, 2007 and $6,000,000 for all of 2006. In addition, Brookwood made payments to the Company
of $621,000 in the four month period ended April 30, 2007 and $738,000 for all of 2006 under its
tax sharing agreement. Future cash dividends and tax sharing payments are contingent upon
Brookwoods continued profitability and compliance with its loan covenants. Brookwood was in
compliance with its loan covenants as of March 31, 2007 and for all interim periods in 2006. There
were no significant additional capital requirements as of March 31, 2007.
Energy. In February 2006, Hallwood Energy entered into a $65,000,000 loan facility, and had
drawn $40,000,000 as of December 31, 2006. Subsequent to
December 31, 2006, Hallwood Energy was not in compliance with
the proved collateral coverage ratio. In April 2007, Hallwood Energy repaid the $40,000,000 outstanding principal
balance of the former loan from proceeds of a new $100,000,000 Credit Facility, under which it has
drawn $65,000,000.
Prior to the April 2007 funding of the Credit Facility, the Company had advanced $7,000,000 to
Hallwood Energy pursuant to demand notes bearing interest at 6% above prime rate. In April 2007,
Hallwood Energy made a request for additional capital contributions in the amount of $25,000,000.
The Company and Hallwood Energy had agreed that the $7,000,000 amount previously advanced would be
applied as the Companys portion of this capital call. On May 10, 2007, Hallwood Energy repaid
$257,000 to the Company, which represented the excess of $7,000,000 advanced over the Companys
share of the capital contribution and related oversubscription.
Hallwood Energy issued a $20,000,000 equity call, the May Call, to its partners on May 21,
2007, which is due on July 1, 2007. The Companys proportionate share of the May Call is
$5,091,000. In addition, as contemplated by the Credit Facility, Hallwood Energy also currently
anticipates making requests for additional capital contributions in the amount of $15,000,000 from
its partners later in 2007. The Company currently intends to fund approximately $2,500,000 of the
May Call but does not have funds available to contribute substantial capital in connection with that or future calls. To the
extent the Company does not make future capital contributions in proportion to its interest in
Hallwood Energy, its percentage ownership interest will be reduced.
In April 2007, HIL and the new lender have each committed to fund one-half of the April Call
and potential additional equity or subordinated debt funding calls totaling $55,000,000 by Hallwood
Energy, to the extent other investors, including the Company, do not
respond to a call. Pursuant to this commitment, HIL intends to fund
that portion of the May Call that the Company does not fund. The
Company and Mr. Gumbiner have agreed to discuss in the future the
terms on which HIL will make this funding as between the
Company and HIL.
However, the timing and amount of any additional capital contributions to Hallwood Energy are
uncertain. Hallwood Energy may determine that greater or lesser equity funding is required during
2007 and may determine to seek funding from sources other than existing investors. The actual level
of Hallwood Energys capital requirements during 2007 and thereafter will depend on a number of
factors that cannot be determined at this time, including future gas prices, costs of field
operations, the ability to successfully identify and acquire prospective properties and drill and
complete wells, access to gathering and transportation infrastructure, and the availability of
alternative sources of capital, such as loans from third parties or equity contributions from new
investors.
Future Liquidity. The Companys ability to generate cash flow from operations will depend on
its future performance and its ability to successfully implement business and growth strategies.
The Companys performance will also be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Many of these
factors are beyond the Companys control. Considering its current cash position and its anticipated
cash flow from continuing operations, the Company believes it has sufficient funds to meet its
liquidity needs,

although the Company is unlikely to be able to fund substantial additional capital
contributions to Hallwood Energy after April 2007.

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, 2006 in the
section entitled Business Competition, Risks and Other 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 3. |
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
There have been no material changes to the Companys market risks during the quarter
ended March 31, 2007.
The Company is exposed to market risk due to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company
historically has utilized both fixed rate and variable rate debt to finance its operations. As of
March 31, 2007, the Companys total outstanding loans payable of $14,055,000 were comprised
of $108,000 of fixed rate debt and $13,947,000 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
Companys 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 $140,000,
assuming that outstanding debt remained at current levels.
The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2007.
Hallwood Energy has a make-whole provision contained within its former and current loan
facilities. The make-whole fee is recorded at its estimated fair value on Hallwood Energys balance
sheet and changes in its fair value are recorded in interest expense in Hallwood Energys statement
of operations.

Item 4. |

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. It is the conclusion of the Companys
principal executive officer and principal financial officer that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), based on their
evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q,
are effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs
and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable
assurance regarding managements control objectives. The design of any system of controls and
procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There
can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions, regardless of how remote.
In August 2003, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm provided
written communications to management and the audit committee on the need to improve the financial
closing process at the Brookwood subsidiary. In April 2004, the Company received a further written
communication from the independent registered public accounting firm to management and the audit
committee on the continued need to improve the Brookwood financial closing process. In March 2005,
March 2006 and May 2007, the Company received communications from its independent registered public
accounting firm that further improvements in the financial systems and processes at its Brookwood
subsidiary are still required. With the addition of new staff, Brookwoods management believes it
has made substantial progress both in the timeliness and accuracy of the closing process. In
addition, Brookwood is currently implementing a new order processing and inventory control system
and updating it general ledger system, which will integrate various accounting processes. The new
systems will further aid in accelerating and automating the financial closing process.
Internal Controls. Other than the improvements noted above, there were no changes in the
Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these
controls.
