Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. "No material changes" means no material changes to the response contained in the Trust's Schedule 13D previously filed. Item 1. Security and Issuer. No material changes. Item 2. Identity and Background. No material changes. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Hallwood Investments Limited ("HIL"), a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and wholly-owned by the Trust purchased 3,000 shares (the "Shares") of common stock of The Hallwood Group Incorporated (the "Company") from a third party in a privately negotiated transaction, using working capital funds. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. The Trust acquired the Shares for investment. The Trust has and intends to review its investment in the Company on a continuing basis and, depending on market conditions and other factors, may acquire additional securities, dispose of all or any portion of the securities it now owns or may hereafter acquire, seek to engage in extraordinary corporate transactions, such as a merger or other reorganization involving the Company or a purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (which extraordinary transaction could involve one or more of the matters described in clauses (a) through (j) of Schedule 13D) and take any other action that the Trust may deem to be appropriate in the circumstances. Whether the Trust takes any of the foregoing actions will depend upon its evaluation of pertinent factors, including without limitation, the availability of shares of common stock for purchase or acquisition at particular price levels or upon particular terms; the capital needs of the Company; the business and prospects of each of the Company and the Trust; economic, stock market, and money market conditions; other business and investment opportunities available to the Trust; regulatory requirements; other circumstances that may make it advantageous to the Trust to either increase or decrease its ownership of the Company's securities and other requirements of the Trust. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) As of the date hereof, the Trust owns 767,775 shares of common stock representing 56.40% of the common stock outstanding, based on 1,361,343 shares of common stock outstanding, as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Mr. Gumbiner holds currently exercisable options (the "Options") to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock, representing approximately 10% of the Company's common stock, which, in addition to the Shares beneficially owned through the Trust, give Mr. Gumbiner beneficial ownership of approximately 60.72% of the Company's common stock. (b) The Shares are owned by HIL. Mr. Anthony Gumbiner and his family are discretionary beneficiaries of the Trust. Because Mr. Gumbiner is the principal director and officer of HIL, Mr. Gumbiner and the Trust may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the Shares. Mr. Gumbiner has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Options. (c) None. (d) Not applicable. (e) Not applicable Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. None. Item 7. Materials Filed as Exhibits. None.
