ITEM 5.           OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE


As a  result  of  hotel  properties  of The  Hallwood  Group  Incorporated  (the
"Company") being placed into receivership,  as previously reported,  the Company
has  determined  that a technical  default has occurred  under the Company's 10%
Collateralized   Subordinated  Debentures  (the  "Debentures").   The  Indenture
provides  that  upon the  occurrence  of a default  the  principal  and  accrued
interest on the Debentures shall automatically become due and payable. A copy of
the notice (the  "Notice")  to holders of the  Debentures  from Bank One,  N.A.,
trustee,  is attached.  The Notice  states that the holders of a majority of the
outstanding  principal amount of the Debentures,  on behalf of all holders,  may
waive  the  default  and that if the  default  is  waived  and the  Company  has
deposited  sufficient  funds to pay overdue  interest and other costs,  then the
majority  holders may rescind and annul the declaration of acceleration  and its
consequences.  The Company  intends to solicit such a waiver from the holders of
the  Debentures.  There  can be no  assurance  that a waiver  will be  obtained,
however.
