(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?

		Yes þ     No o

(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

		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.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company reported an operating loss of $585,000 and a net loss of $7,324,000, which included a loss of $10,503,000 from its investment in Hallwood Energy, L.P. using the equity method of accounting.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company anticipates reporting an operating income of approximately $6,000,000, principally attributable to an increase in sales of specialty fabric to U.S. military contractors as a result of increased orders from the military to customers of its Brookwood subsidiary.

On May 15, 2008, the Company loaned an additional $2,961,000 to Hallwood Energy. The Company has not yet determined the amount of the additional loss that it is required to recognize for accounting purposes as a result of the additional loan.

The registrant previously disclosed that its Hallwood Energy, L.P. affiliate was in the process of seeking additional capital from external sources. This effort is continuing, but financing has not yet been obtained. Hallwood Energy is in the process of negotiating a transaction that would provide additional capital. However, there is no assurance that any such transaction will be completed. If Hallwood Energy is unable to obtain additional operating funds in the near future, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

(Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter)

has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
