                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
    with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
    information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
    principles, although, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
    considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  These
    financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
    consolidated financial statements and related disclosures thereto included
    in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 and the unaudited
    consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in the transition
    Form 10-Q for the five month period ended December 31, 1995.

         In October 1995 the Company announced its intention to change its
    fiscal year end from July 31 to December 31, effective December 31, 1995.
    This Form 10-Q contains comparative information for the quarter and six
    months ended June 30, 1995 to conform with the Company's new reporting
    requirements.  The Company was not required to file a Form 10-K for the
    period ended December 31, 1995, but will report audited accounts for the
    five month period then ended in the next required Form 10-K, which will
    include the period beginning August 1, 1995 and ending December 31, 1996.
    Share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the one-for-four reverse
    stock split effected on June 28, 1995.

         Accounting Policies.  The preparation of the financial statements for
    the Company in conformity with generally accepted principles requires
    management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
    amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
    liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
    amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual
    results could differ from these estimates.

         During 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards No. 121-Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and
    for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ("SFAS No. 121").  Accordingly, the
    Company's management routinely reviews its investments for impairment
    whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
    amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The adoption of SFAS No. 121
    did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the
    Company.

         Management has elected, as is allowable under Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards No. 123- Account for Stock Based Compensation ("SFAS
    No. 123"), to continue to account for its stock based compensation under
    its current method.  Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123 had no
    impact on the Company's financial statements.

                THE HALLWOOD GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)

         (A) At June 30, 1996, Hallwood Realty Corporation ("HRC"), a wholly
             owned subsidiary of the Company, owned a 1% general partner
             interest and the Company owned a 25% limited partner interest in
             its Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P. ("HRP") affiliate.

             The carrying value of the Company's investment in the general
             partner interest of HRP includes the value of intangible rights to
             provide asset management and property management services.
             Beginning November 1, 1993, the Company commenced amortization of
             that portion of the general partner interest ascribed to the
             management rights, and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
             1995 such amortization was $336,000, respectively.

             Due to recording the pro rata share of losses reported by HRP as
             prescribed by equity accounting, the Company's carrying value of
             the 89,269 limited partner units acquired prior to March 1995 had
             been reduced to zero; therefore, the Company no longer records its
             pro rata share of HRP's losses with respect to such units.
             Unrecognized losses, which have occurred since the carrying value
             of the 89,269 units was reduced to zero, must be recovered before
             the Company would be able to recognize income on such units in the
             future.  As further discussed in Note 4, the Company has pledged
             these 89,269 limited partner units to collateralize a promissory
             note, due March 1998, in the original principal amount of
             $500,000.

             Subsequent to March 1995, the Company has acquired 323,771
             additional HRP limited partner units for $4,476,000.  The Company
             recorded its pro rata share of HRP's losses relating to such
             units,  which amounted to $897,000 and $20,000 for the six months
             ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         (B) The Company accounts for its investment in ShowBiz Pizza Time,
             Inc. ("ShowBiz") on the equity method of accounting.  The Company
             also records its pro rata share of various stockholders' equity
             transactions.  The financial impact of ShowBiz's shareholders'
             equity transactions resulted in a non-cash increase in the
             carrying value of the Company's investment in ShowBiz and a
             corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital in the amount
             of $53,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

             On May 22, 1996, ShowBiz completed a three for two stock split in
             the form of a 50% dividend to holders of record as of May 1, 1996.
             The Company received 842,096 additional shares of ShowBiz in
             connection with the stock split.  All references to the number of
             ShowBiz shares have been restated for the effect of this stock
             split.

             During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company sold 225,000
             shares of ShowBiz for aggregate proceeds of $3,498,000 (average
             price of $15.55 per share).  The net gain from the various sales
             was $2,040,000.  On July 1, 1996, the Company sold an additional
             37,500 shares of ShowBiz for aggregate proceeds of $640,000
             (average price of $17.07 per share).

             At  June 30, 1996, the Company owned 13% of ShowBiz, all of which
             is pledged to secure certain loans payable discussed in Note 4.

3.  LITIGATION, CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

         Reference is made to Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements
    contained in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 and the
    transition Form 10-Q for the five month period ended December 31, 1995.

         Settlement of Claim by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  On
    July 22, 1996, the Company announced that it agreed to a settlement of a
    claim by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") arising from the
    sale of a small portion of its holdings in the stock of ShowBiz during a
    four-day period in June 1993.  These and other similar sales were made by
    the Company pursuant to a pre-planned, long-term selling program begun in
    December 1992.  The SEC asserted that some, but not all, of the Company's
    June 1993 sales were improper because, before the sales program was
    completed, the Company is alleged to have received non-public information
    about ShowBiz.  In connection with the settlement, the Company agreed to
    contribute approximately $953,000, representing the loss that the SEC
    alleged the Company avoided by selling during the four-day period, plus
    interest of $240,000.  This money will go into a fund for the benefit of
    those who bought ShowBiz stock from the Company during the four-day period.
    The Company has also agreed to be subject to an injunction against any
    future violations of certain federal securities laws.  In addition, the SEC
    alleged that Anthony J. Gumbiner, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
    Officer of the Company, failed to take appropriate action to discontinue
    the Company's sales of the ShowBiz shares during the four days in question.
    Mr. Gumbiner did not directly conduct the sales, nor did he sell any shares
    for his own account or for the account of any trust for which he has the
    power to designate the trustee.  Although the sales were made solely by the
    Company, the SEC assessed a civil penalty of $477,000, against Mr.
    Gumbiner, as a "control person" for the Company.  Mr. Gumbiner, however, is
    not subject to any separate injunction concerning his future personal
    activities.

         As provided in the settlement, neither the Company nor Mr. Gumbiner
    admitted or denied the allegations made by the SEC, and both entered into
    the settlement to avoid the extraordinary time and expense that would be
    involved in protracted litigation with the government.  The Company
    believes that the SEC's legal theories in any such litigation would have
    been novel, but feels that this settlement is in its best interests and
    fair to the shareholders who were affected by the Company's sales.

         As the settlement had been anticipated and estimated amounts
    previously accrued, the Company's contribution, including interest, did not
    result in an additional charge against operations in any period included
    herein.  In approving the terms of the settlement, the Board of Directors
    of the Company also authorized the Company to loan Mr.  Gumbiner the amount
    needed to satisfy his personal assessment.  Significant terms of the
    promissory note from Mr.  Gumbiner include: (i) principal amount of
    $477,000; (ii) interest rate of prime plus 0.75%; and (iii) quarterly
    principal and interest payments of $31,250.

    Real Estate

         Promissory note.  In connection with the settlement of an obligation
    related to the Company's Integra Hotels, Inc. subsidiary, the Company
    issued a four-year, $500,000, promissory note in March 1994.  The note is
    secured by a pledge of 89,269 HRP limited partner units.  The settlement
    agreement also provided that the pledgee has the right to receive an
    additional payment in an amount equal to 25% of the increase in the value
    of the HRP units over the base amount of $11.25 per unit, but in no event
    more than an additional $500,000 (the "Participation Amount").  As the HRP
    per unit price was $21.75 at June 30, 1996, the Company has increased the
    promissory note to $600,000 for this Participation Amount by a $100,000
    charge to interest expense in December 1995.

         Promissory note.  The Company issued a promissory note in the amount

    from Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services Inc. ("MLBFS") in the

    collateral - 2,159,047 shares of ShowBiz common stock; and (iv)

    ShowBiz share price was $15.75 at June 30, 1996, the Company did not record
    an additional charge for this contingent interest.

5.  7% COLLATERALIZED SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES AND 13.5% SUBORDINATED

    and Hallwood Hotels, Inc. subsidiaries.  The common and preferred stock of
    Brookwood are subject to a prior pledge in favor of Chase.

         Since 1994, the Company has repurchased 7% Debentures having a
    principal value of $4,673,000.  These repurchases satisfied the Company's
    obligation to retire 10% of the original issue ($2,748,000) prior to March
    1996, and partially satisfied the Company's obligation to retire an
    additional 15% of the original issue ($4,122,000) prior to March 1998.

         13.5% Subordinated Debentures.  On May 15, 1989, the Company
    distributed to its stockholders $46,318,600 aggregate principal amount of
    an original issue (the "1989 Series") of its 13.5% Subordinated Debentures,
    due July 31, 2009 (the "13.5% Debentures").  The Company had authorized the
    issuance of up to $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 13.5%
    Debentures.  The 13.5% Debentures are subordinate to bank borrowings,
    guarantees of the Company and other "Senior Indebtedness" (as defined in
    the indenture relating to the 13.5% Debentures).

         Interest on the 13.5% Debentures is payable annually, on August 15,
    and, at the Company's option, up to two annual interest payments in any
    five-year period may be paid in-kind by the issuance of additional 13.5%
    Debentures in lieu of cash.  Interest due on August 15, 1989 and 1990 was
    paid in cash.  Interest due on August 15, 1991 was paid in-kind by the
    issuance of $6,019,500 additional 13.5% Debentures (the "1991 Series") and
    $139,200 of cash in lieu of fractional debentures.  Interest due on August
    15, 1992 was paid in-kind by the issuance of $6,792,900 additional 13.5%
    Debentures (the "1992 Series")  and $172,500 of cash in lieu of fractional
    debentures.  Interest due on August 15, 1993, 1994 and 1995 was paid in
    cash.

         The federal deferred tax expense in 1996 was recorded by the Company's
    HEC subsidiary, and the 1995 amount was recorded by the Company.  The
    federal current tax expense in 1996 is an estimate for alternative minimum
    tax payable by the Company.

         State tax expense is an estimate based upon taxable income allocated
    to those states in which the Company does business, at their respective tax
    rates.

         The amount of the consolidated deferred tax asset (net of valuation
    allowance) was $5,771,000 at June 30, 1996.  The deferred tax asset arises
    principally from the anticipated utilization of the Company's NOLs and tax
    credits from the implementation of various tax planning strategies.

8.       COMMISSION-FREE OFFER TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

            On June 10, 1996, the Company announced a commission-free offer
         (the "Offer") program for stockholders holding 99 or fewer shares of
         the Company's common stock as of the record date of June 7, 1996 to
         sell their shares to the Company.  The Offer allowed eligible
         stockholders to sell all, but not less than all, of their shares to
         the Company without incurring any brokerage commission.  The price
         paid by the Company was $14.00 per share, which was higher than the
         average of the closing market prices of the shares for the five
         trading days immediately preceding the Record Date, as reported by the
         Wall Street Journal.

            On July 10, 1996 the Offer was extended from its original
         termination date of July 12, 1996 to July 23, 1996.  As a result the
         Company purchased 28,126 shares, or 1.76% of the total outstanding
         shares, from 1,590 stockholders at a total cost of $394,000.  Such
         shares have been added to treasury shares, 3,967 of which, at a cost
         of $55,000, are included in the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company reported net income of $2,396,000 for the second quarter
    ended June 30, 1996, compared to net income of $86,000 in the 1995 period.
    The six-month net income of $2,704,000, compares to net income of
    $1,519,000 in the 1995 period.  Total revenue for the 1996 second quarter
    was $32,463,000, compared to $32,691,000 in the prior-year period.  For the
    six months revenue was $59,588,000 compared to $64,505,000 in the
    prior-year period.

         The prior year quarter and six month results have been restated as a
    result of a change in the Company's fiscal year end from July 31 to
    December 31, beginning December 31, 1995.

         Following is an analysis of the results of operations by asset
    management, operating subsidiaries and associated company divisions; and by
    the real estate, energy, textile products, hotels and restaurant business
    segments within those divisions.

         Asset Management.  The business segments of the Company's asset
    management division consist of real estate and energy.

    REAL ESTATE.

         Revenue.  Fee income of $1,084,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
    decreased by $152,000, or 12%, from $1,236,000 in the prior-year period.
    Fee income of $2,092,000 for the six months decreased by $1,000 from the
    similar period a year ago.  The decreases were due to lower leasing fees.
    Fee income is principally derived from the Company's asset management,
    property management, leasing and construction services provided to its
    Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P. affiliate, a real estate master limited
    partnership ("HRP").

         The equity loss from investments in HRP represents the Company's
    recognition of its pro-rata share of the loss as reported by HRP.  For the
    1996 second quarter, the Company reported a $455,000 loss compared to a
    $51,000 loss in the period a year ago.  The comparative six month amounts
    were losses of $949,000 and $75,000 for the 1996 and 1995 periods,
    respectively.  The increased losses result from the Company's additional
    investment in HRP limited partner units.  Since March 1995, the Company has
    acquired 323,771 additional limited partner units, pursuant to HRP's
    reverse unit split and commission-free, odd-lot buyback programs.  The
    Company will continue to recognize significant non-cash, equity losses from
    its HRP investment, until the book value of the limited partner units is
    reduced to zero.

         The Company's carrying value of the 89,269 HRP limited partner units
    acquired prior to March 1995 had been reduced to zero; therefore, the
    Company no longer records its pro rata share of HRP's losses with respect
    to such units. Unrecognized losses, which have occurred since the carrying
    value of the 89,269 units was reduced to zero, must be recovered before the
    Company would be able to recognize income on such units in the future.  See
    Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

         Interest and discounts from mortgage loans for the 1996 second quarter
    declined to $2,000 from the 1995 amount of $31,000 and for the six months
    declined to $3,000 from the 1995 amount of $74,000.  The declines were the
    result of the sale or assignment of substantially all of the mortgage loan
    portfolio in the prior year.

         As a result of the December 1995 sale of the United Kingdom
    office-retail property, the Company reported no rental income in 1996,
    compared to $174,000 in the 1995 second quarter and  $355,000 for the six
    months in 1995.

         Expenses.  Administrative expenses changed slightly to $324,000 and
    $651,000 in the 1996 second quarter the six month periods, compared to
    $336,000 and $649,000 in the comparable year-ago periods.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         Depreciation and amortization expense of $168,000 for the 1996 second
    quarter and $336,000 for the six month period decreased from $243,000 and
    $486,000 in the 1995 periods.  The 1995 periods included depreciation
    expense of $75,000 and $150,000 for the 1995 three and  six month periods,
    respectively.  Amortization expense of $168,000 for the quarter and
    $336,000 for the six months in both the 1996 and 1995 periods relates to
    HRC's general partner investment in HRP to the extent allocated to
    management rights.

         Interest expense decreased to $13,000 from $168,000 in the 1996 second
    quarter and decreased to $30,000 from $314,000 in the six month period, due
    to the aforementioned sale of the office-retail property and repayment of
    the associated loan payable.

         Operating expenses and provision for losses (recovery) were immaterial
    for the 1996 and 1995 periods.

    ENERGY.

         Revenue.  Following the December 1995 conversion of its HEC preferred
    stock investment into common stock and various purchases of its own stock
    for treasury, the Company owns 82% of the common stock of HEC.  HEC's
    general partner interest in Hallwood Energy Partners, L.P. ("HEP") entitles
    it to a share of net revenues derived from HEP's properties ranging from 2%
    to 25%, and it also holds approximately 6.5% of HEP's limited partner
    units.  HEC accounts for its ownership of HEP using the proportionate
    consolidation method of accounting, whereby HEC records its proportionate
    share of HEP's revenue and expenses, current assets, current liabilities,
    noncurrent assets, long-term obligations and fixed assets.  HEP owns
    approximately 46% of its affiliate, Hallwood Consolidated Resources
    Corporation, which HEP accounts for under the equity method.

         Second quarter 1996 oil and gas revenues of $1,730,000 increased
    $501,000, or 41%, compared to $1,229,000 in the year-ago period.   For the
    six months, the comparison of oil and gas revenues was $3,584,000 in the
    current year and $2,527,000 in the year ago period.  Oil revenue for the
    six months increased $308,000 to $1,345,000, due to an increase in
    production to 71,000 barrels from 62,000 barrels, combined with an increase
    in the average price per barrel to $18.94  from $16.73.  Gas revenue for
    the six months increased $749,000 to $2,239,000, primarily as a result of
    an increase in the average gas price to $2.41 from $1.69 per mcf, and an
    increase in production to 928,000 mcf from 880,000 mcf.  The increase in
    oil and gas production is primarily due to increased production from
    developmental and exploratory drilling projects in Montana, Wyoming and
    West Texas, partially offset by normal production declines.

         Other income consists primarily of HEC's direct interest income, as
    well as HEC's share of HEP's interest income, facilities income from two
    gathering systems in New Mexico, pipeline revenue, equity in income (loss)
    of affiliates and miscellaneous income or expense.  The increases in other
    income to $36,000 for the 1996 second quarter from the $147,000 loss in the
    1995 period and to $64,000 for the 1996 six month period from the ($81,000)
    loss in the 1995 period are due to an increase in HEP's equity in earnings
    of affiliate which resulted from higher oil and gas revenues.

         Expenses.  Depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment
    expenses were $386,000 for the 1996 second quarter and $855,000 for the six
    months compared to $463,000 and $1,345,000 in the year-ago periods.  The
    decreases are primarily the result of an asset impairment reported in the
    March 1995 period of $464,000, which represented HEC's pro rata share of
    the write-off of HEP's Indonesian operations, combined with lower
    capitalized costs in 1996.

         Operating expenses increased by $47,000 to $350,000 for the 1996
    second quarter from $303,000 in the prior-year quarter and increased
    $90,000 to $732,000 for the six months from $642,000 as a result of
    increased production taxes and operating expenses in 1996 due to the
    production increase described above.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         Administrative expenses decreased by $61,000 for the 1996 second
    quarter to $187,000 from $248,000 in the 1995 quarter and decreased by
    $66,000 to $434,000 for the 1996 six month period from $500,000 due to a
    decline in allocated internal overhead.

         Minority interest, which represents the interest of other common
    shareholders in the net income (loss) of HEC, increased in the current-year
    periods, due to higher net income from energy operations, partially offset
    by a lower minority interest ownership percentage, resulting from HEC's
    repurchase of its own shares from minority shareholders for treasury and
    the Company's purchase of additional HEC shares in the October through
    December 1995 period.

         Interest expense decreased by $20,000 to $113,000 for the 1996 second
    quarter compared to $133,000 in 1995 and increased by $50,000 to $254,000
    for the 1996 six months compared to $204,000 for the year-ago period,
    primarily from HEC's net borrowings under its line of credit.

         Operating Subsidiaries.  The business segments of the Company's
    operating subsidiaries consist of textile products and hotels.

    TEXTILE PRODUCTS.

         Revenue.  Sales decreased $2,433,000 in the 1996 second quarter to
    $21,917,000, compared to $24,350,000 in the same quarter a year ago.  The
    comparative six month sales decreased to $40,087,000 in 1996 from
    $45,128,000 in 1995.  The decreases in sales are due to weak market
    conditions experienced by many of Brookwood's customers.  Due to the
    uncertain market conditions, these customers have reduced current purchases
    and are delaying making some future commitments. However, these decreases
    are partially offset by continued growth of distribution businesses.

         Expenses.  Cost of sales decreased $2,778,000 or 12.9% to $18,752,00
    from $21,530,000, compared to the 10.0% decrease in sales for the 1996
    second quarter from the comparable prior year quarter.  The higher gross
    profit margin for the 1996 second quarter (14.4% versus 11.6%) was
    principally the result of more efficient operations at the Kenyon dyeing
    and finishing plant.  The comparable gross profit margins for the six month
    periods were 14.3% in 1996 and 11.5% in 1995.

          Administrative and selling expenses increased $78,000 in the 1996
    second quarter to $2,169,000 from $2,091,000 for the comparable 1995 period
    and increased $239,000 for the six month period to $4,279,000 from
    $4,040,000 for the comparable 1995 period, due primarily to a $95,000
    provision for costs related to management changes at the Kenyon plant in 
    the first quarter and increased operating expenses associated with growth of
    the distribution businesses.

         The $88,000 decrease in interest expense to $166,000  for the 1996
    second quarter and $137,000 decrease to $322,000 for the six months were
    the result of lower average borrowings and interest rates than in the
    prior-year periods.

    HOTELS

         Revenue.  Sales of $5,491,000 in the 1996 second quarter increased by
    $29,000 from the year-ago amount of $5,462,000.  The 1996 six month hotel
    revenues of $11,061,000 decreased by $195,000, compared to $11,256,000 for
    the 1995 period.  The decrease for the six months is attributable to the
    January 1995 sale of the Lido Beach Holiday Inn hotel, which had
    contributed $362,000 to sales in the 1995 first quarter, partially offset
    by increased revenues at the remaining hotels.  In January 1995 the Company
    sold its fee interest in the Lido  Beach Holiday Inn hotel resulting in a
    gain of $2,164,000 and in the 1995 second quarter the Company sold two
    management contracts which resulted in a gain of $232,000.  Management fee
    income of $73,000 for the 1995 second quarter and $125,000 for the 1995 six
    month period related to managed properties prior to the sale of the
    management contracts.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         Expenses.  Operating expenses of $4,398,000 for the 1996 quarter
    decreased by $160,000 from the year-ago amount of $4,558,000.  The 1996 six
    month hotel operating expenses decreased by $444,000 to $8,949,000,
    compared to $9,393,000 for the 1995 period.  The decrease for the six
    months is primarily attributable to the aforementioned sale of the Lido
    Beach Holiday Inn hotel.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $76,000 to $612,000
    for the 1996 second quarter, reflecting the purchase of the fee interest in
    the Residence Inn by Marriott hotel in Greenville, South Carolina and
    recent capital expenditures at the remaining properties, partially offset
    by the sale of the Lido Beach Holiday Inn hotel.  Depreciation and
    amortization for the 1996 and 1995 six month periods were $1,175,000 and
    $1,165,000, respectively.

         Interest expense increased by $138,000 to $285,000 for the quarter
    from $188,000 in the 1995 period from $147,000 and increased by $88,000 to
    $423,000 for the six month period from $335,000 in 1995, due to the
    procurement of the $6,800,000 term loan on the Greenville, South Carolina
    hotel, partially offset by the payoff of the term loan secured by The Lido
    Beach Holiday Inn hotel.

    ASSOCIATED COMPANY

         Revenue.  The Company records its pro-rata share of ShowBiz results
    using the equity accounting method. The Company recorded income of $355,000
    from its investment in ShowBiz for the quarter ended June 30, 1996,
    compared to a loss of $120,000 in the prior-year period.  For the six
    months the Company recorded equity income of $1,163,000, compared to income
    of $305,000 in 1995.  The improvement in ShowBiz results for the 1996
    periods are attributable to a 9.4% increase in comparable same store sales
    and in improved operating margins.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1996
    the Company also sold 225,000 shares of ShowBiz for aggregate proceeds of
    $3,498,000 (average price of $15.55 per share).  The net gain from the
    various sales was $2,040,000.

         Expenses.  Interest expense of $174,000 for the 1996 second quarter
    was unchanged  from the year-ago quarter.  Interest expense of $340,000 for
    the 1996 six month period decreased by $1,000 from the 1995 amount of
    $341,000.

    OTHER

         Revenue.  Interest on short-term investments and other income
    increased by $41,000 to  $157,000 for the 1996 second quarter and increased
    by $41,000 to $231,000 for the 1996 six month period from the comparable
    prior year amounts.  Fee income in the 1996 second quarter and six month
    periods of $106,000 and $212,000, respectively, were the same as the
    prior-year amounts.

         Expenses.  Interest expense in the amount of $1,025,000 for the 1996
    second quarter and $2,051,000 for the six months decreased from the prior
    year amounts of $1,066,000 and $2,132,000, respectively.  The decreases are
    due to the repurchase of  7% Debentures in 1995.

         Administrative expenses of $572,000 for the 1996 second quarter and
    $1,066,000 for the six months, were increased from the comparable 1995
    amount of $429,000 and $980,000, respectively.  The increases are primarily
    attributable to an increase in legal, accounting and consulting fees.

         Income taxes.  Income taxes were $279,000 for the 1996 quarter and
    $76,000 in the 1995 quarter.  The 1996 quarter included a $95,000 deferred
    tax charge and $158,000 for the six months.  The balance of the expense in
    all periods was for state taxes, apart from a provision for estimated 
    federal alternative minimum tax of $54,000 in the 1996 quarter.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         State tax expense is an estimate based upon taxable income allocated
    to those states in which the Company does business at their respective tax
    rates.

         As of June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $60,000,000 of tax
    net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") and temporary differences
    (excluding separate return losses of HEC) to reduce future federal income
    tax liability.  Based upon the Company's expectations and available tax
    planning strategies, management has determined that taxable income will
    more likely than not be sufficient to utilize approximately $16,000,000 of
    the NOLs prior to their ultimate expiration in the year 2010.

         Management believes that the Company has certain tax planning
    strategies available, which include the potential sale of its ShowBiz
    shares, hotel properties and certain other assets, that could be
    implemented, if necessary, to supplement income from operations to fully
    realize the recorded tax benefits before their expiration.  Management has
    considered such strategies in reaching its conclusion that, more likely
    than not, taxable income will be sufficient to utilize a significant
    portion of the NOLs before expiration; however, future levels of operating
    income and taxable gains are dependent upon general economic conditions and
    other factors beyond the Company's control.  Accordingly, no assurance can
    be given that sufficient taxable income will be generated for significant
    utilization of the NOLs.  Although the use of such carryforwards could,
    under certain circumstances, be limited, the Company is presently unaware
    of the occurrence of any event which would result in the imposition of such
    limitations.

         As a result of the Company's purchase of approximately 37,000
    additional HEC common shares in the October through December 1995 period,
    and the December 31, 1995 conversion of 356,000 shares of HEC preferred
    stock into 356,000 shares of common stock, as well as various purchases by
    HEC of its own stock for treasury, the Company owns 82% of the common stock
    of HEC. Beginning January 1, 1996 HEC will be included in the consolidated
    income tax returns of the Company.  Prior to January 1, 1996, HEC was an
    independent entity for tax reporting purposes, although it has been a
    consolidated subsidiary for financial reporting purposes since May 1990.
    As of June 30, 1996, HEC had estimated net operating loss carryforwards
    ("NOLs") of $109,000,000, in addition to various other tax credits and
    carryforwards.  A related valuation allowance was recorded, based upon
    HEC's expectations regarding the utilization of such NOLs, to reduce the
    value of the reported tax benefit to $342,000.  In accordance with federal
    tax laws and regulations governing consolidated groups, these NOLs and tax
    carryforwards must remain at the subsidiary level.

         Extraordinary gain from extinguishment of debt.  The extraordinary
    gain in the second quarter of 1995 resulted from the early extinguishment
    of 7% Debentures at a discount, having a face value of $604,000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1996
    totaled $7,609,000.

         Although the Company's ShowBiz shares, having a market value of
    approximately $35,838,000 at July 31, 1996 (based upon the closing price on
    such date of $14.62 per share), are presently unregistered, and may be
    subject to some limitations on sale, management believes there is a ready
    market to sell such shares without adversely affecting market price.  All
    of the Company's 2,451,289 ShowBiz  shares are pledged as collateral for
    the $7,000,000 line of credit and the $4,000,000 promissory note.  The
    Company currently has no availability under its line of credit which
    matures in April 1997, and the promissory note is due March 1997.

         The Company's real estate segment generates funds  principally from
    its property management activities, without significant additional capital
    costs.  The majority of its investment in HRP is presently unencumbered.

         The Company's energy segment generates funds from operating and
    financing activities.  Cash flow is subject to fluctuating oil and gas
    production and prices.  In accordance with the proportionate consolidation
    method of accounting, HEC reports its share of the long-term obligations of
    its HEP affiliate totaling $5,312,000 at June 30, 1996.  HEP's borrowings
    are secured by a first lien on approximately 80% in value of HEP's oil and
    gas properties.  In May 1995, HEC obtained a $1,500,000 line of credit from
    a bank and subsequently borrowed $1,200,000, which has been reduced to
    $975,000 at June 30, 1996.  The line of credit is secured by the
    publicly-traded limited partner units it holds in HEP.  HEC has no unused
    borrowing capacity under its line of credit at June 30, 1996.  The line of
    credit limits HEC's dividends to $3.50 in each calendar year.

         Brookwood maintains a $13,500,000 revolving line of credit facility
    with The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., which is collateralized by accounts
    receivable and equipment.  At June 30, 1996, Brookwood had $2,092,000 of
    unused borrowing capacity on its line of credit.

         The Company's hotel segment generates cash flow from operating five
    hotels (one Holiday Inn in Florida, one Embassy Suites and one Residence
    Inn in Oklahoma, and one Residence Inn each in Alabama and South Carolina).
    The sale of hotel properties may also provide a source of liquidity;
    however, sales transactions may be impacted by the inability of prospective
    purchasers to obtain equity capital or suitable financing.

         The Company hopes to be able to reinvest the proceeds of asset sales
    to increase profits and cash flows, and also to retire debentures and /or
    equity from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated
    transactions.
