                           None of the  persons  providing  information  in this
                  statement  have  been  convicted  in  a  criminal   proceeding
                  (excluding traffic violations or similar  misdemeanors) in the
                  last five years.

                  (e)      Civil proceedings:

                           Except for  Hallwood,  none of the persons  providing
                  information in this statement have been subject to a judgment,
                  decree  or  final  order  enjoining  future  violations  of or
                  mandating  activities  subject to federal  securities  laws or
                  finding any violation with respect to such laws.

                           On July 22, 1996,  Hallwood agreed to a settlement of
                  a claim by the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC")
                  arising  from  Hallwood's  sale  of a  small  portion  of  its
                  holdings in the stock of ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc.  ("ShowBiz")
                  during a four-day period in June 1993. These and other similar
                  sales  were  made  by  Hallwood  pursuant  to  a  pre-planned,
                  long-term  selling  program  begun in December  1992.  The SEC
                  asserted that some, but not all, of Hallwood's June 1993 sales
                  were improper because, before the sales program was completed,
                  the Company is alleged to have received nonpublic  information
                  about ShowBiz.  In connection  with the  settlement,  Hallwood
                  agreed to contribute approximately $953,000,  representing the
                  loss that the SEC alleged  Hallwood  avoided by selling during
                  the four-day period, plus interest of $240,000.  Hallwood 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 Hallwood,  failed to take
                  appropriate  action  to  discontinue  Hallwood'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 Hallwood. 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 admits or denies 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.

                  (f)      Hallwood is a Delaware corporation with its principal
                  business offices at the address given above.  Messrs. Gumbiner
                  and Troup are citizens of the U.K. Messrs. Lynch, Crocco, 
                  Talbot, Melle and Koenig and Ms. Doyle are citizens of the 
                  United States of America.

Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

                  Not applicable.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transactions.

                           Hallwood  has  acquired  the  Units  for  investment.
                  Hallwood may,  subject to market  conditions and other factors
                  deemed relevant by it, purchase  additional Units from time to
                  time either in open  market  purchases,  privately  negotiated
                  transactions or otherwise.

                           Hallwood  intends to review on a continuing basis its
                  investment in the Units and the Partnership's business affairs
                  and  financial  condition,   as  well  as  conditions  in  the
                  securities   markets  and  general   economic   and   industry
                  conditions.  Hallwood  may in the future take such  actions in
                  respect of its investment in the Units as it deems appropriate
                  in  light of the  circumstances  existing  from  time to time,
                  including, without limitation,  purchasing additional Units or
                  disposing of the Units it now holds or hereafter acquires.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a)      As of the date of this filing, Hallwood owns 413,040 Units, 
                  representing approximately 24.7% of the number of Units 
                  outstanding on September 17, 1996. On February 27, 1995, a 
                  Special Committee of the Board of Directors of HRC granted 
                  options to purchase (i) 25,800 Units to Anthony J. Gumbiner, 
                  the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of 
                  Hallwood, (ii) 17,200 Units to Brian M. Troup, the President 
                  and Chief Operating Officer of Hallwood, and (iii) 15,000 
                  Units to William L. Guzzetti, the Executive Vice President of
                  Hallwood.  Hallwood has been informed by Messrs. Gumbiner and 
                  Troup that they do not own any Units and by Mr. Guzzetti that 
                  he owns 100 Units (the "Guzzetti Units"), representing less 
                  than 0.1% of the Units outstanding.

         (b)      Hallwood has sole voting and dispositive power over the 
                  413,040 Units.  Mr. Guzzetti has sole voting and dispositive 
                  power over the Guzzetti Units.

         (c)      During  the past 60 days,  no  person  listed in Item 5(a) has
                  effected a transaction with respect to the Units.

         (d)      Not applicable.

         (e)      Not applicable.

                           In connection  with the settlement of claims relating

                  Property   Associates  7,  A  California  Limited  Partnership
                  ("CPA:7",   together  with  CPA:6,   "Pledgee")  to  secure  a
                  guarantee  of  Integra  -  A  Hotel  and  Restaurant   Company
                  ("Integra")   to  Pledgee,   HGI  entered  into  a  Settlement

                  was issued to Pledgee  on March 8, 1994  pursuant  to a Pledge
                  and Security  Agreement  between HGI and Pledgee.  The Note is
                  secured  by a pledge  of 89,269  Units  (the  "Units")  of the
                  Partnership  held by HGI,  as  restated  for the March 3, 1995
                  one-for-five reverse split (the "Reverse Split").

                           The  Settlement  Agreement  also  provides  that  the
                  Pledgee  will have the right to receive  from HGI a payment in
                  immediately   available   funds  on  the   Payment   Date  (as
                  hereinafter defined) in an amount (the "Participation Amount")
                  equal to 25% of the increase in the value of the Units, but in
                  no event  more than  $500,000,  from  February  25,  1994 (the
                  "Closing  Date") to the Value Date (as  hereinafter  defined).
                  The value of the Units on the Closing Date was $8.44 (adjusted
                  for the  Reverse  Split),  the  "high"  price as quoted on the
                  Closing  Date for the Units in The Wall  Street  Journal.  The
                  value of the  Units on the Value  Date will be (i) the  "high"
                  price for the  Units on the  Value  Date as quoted in The Wall
                  Street  Journal,  or (ii) if the Units are no longer traded on
                  the American  Stock Exchange or another  public  exchange,  as
                  determined by an appraiser.  The Value Date is defined as five
                  (5) days prior to the Payment  Date.  The Payment  Date is the
                  earlier to occur of (a) the maturity  date of the Note,  March
                  8, 1998,  or (b) one hundred  twenty (120) days after  Pledgee
                  requests  payment  in  writing,  provided  that the  Units are
                  trading at a "high" price of not less than $45.00 (as adjusted
                  for the  Reverse  Split) per Unit as quoted in The Wall Street
                  Journal on the date of such request.
