         Interstate  Properties  ("Interstate")  hereby  amends its Statement on
Schedule 13D filed with respect to the common  stock,  $0.10 par value per share
("Common Stock"),  of The Hallwood Group  Incorporated,  a Delaware  corporation
(the  "Company").  This Amendment  No.1 should be read in  conjunction  with the
Statement  on Schedule  13D of  Interstate  filed on May 16, 2003 (the  "Initial

respect to the items listed below. Unless otherwise  indicated,  all capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the
Initial Schedule 13D.

         This  Amendment  No.1 is  being  filed  to  report  a  decrease  in the
percentage  of  the  outstanding   Common  Stock  which  may  be  deemed  to  be

agreed to purchase,  35,000  shares of Common Stock,  for the purchase  price of
$17.25 per share of Common Stock,  or a total purchase  price of $603,750.  Upon
consummation  of the sale  transaction,  which is  expected  to occur  promptly,
Interstate will not  beneficially  own more than 5% of the Common Stock and will
no longer be subject to the  reporting  requirements  under Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item  5(a)-(b) is hereby  amended by deleting the first  sentence and  replacing

         (a) - (b)Upon consummation of the sale transaction described in Item 4,
Interstate will own 63,000 shares (4.7%) of Common Stock.

Item 5(c) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
         (c) Except as  described in Item 4,  Interstate  has not engaged in any
transactions in the Common Stock in the past 60 days.

Item 5(e).
                  July 29, 2003.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
          TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 6 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

         On July 29,  2003,  Interstate  and the  Company  entered  into a share
purchase  agreement pursuant to which Interstate agreed to sell, and the Company
agreed to purchase,  35,000  shares of Common Stock,  for the purchase  price of
$17.25 per share of Common Stock,  or a total purchase  price of $603,750.  Upon
consummation  of the sale  transaction,  which is  expected  to occur  promptly,
Interstate will not  beneficially  own more than 5% of the Common Stock and will
