PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
           
þ
    (a)   The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
       
    (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
       
      (c)   The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The Hallwood Group Incorporated (the “Registrant”) was unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 within the prescribed time period because the personnel responsible for preparing the Form 10-Q concentrated on filing the Registrant’s Form 10-K for the calendar year ended December 31, 2006, which was filed on May 14, 2007.

The Company must now complete its closing process for the period ended March 31, 2007, before it will be able to file the Form 10-Q for that period.

SEC 1344 (03-05)   Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

(2)   Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?

(3)   Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
    Yes þ     No o
 
It is anticipated that Hallwood Energy L.P. will record interest expense of approximately $5.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, associated with the settlement of a make-whole provision with its former lender. In addition, Hallwood Energy L.P. must complete an impairment evaluation of its oil and gas properties for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. It is currently anticipated that Hallwood Energy L.P. will record an impairment of at least $20 million for the quarter. The Registrant will record its proportionate share (approximately 25%) of the net loss expected to be reported by Hallwood Energy L.P., as the Registrant accounts for its investment in Hallwood Energy L.P. using the equity method of accounting.
 
    If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
