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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Newman Communications Corporation ("the Company") is considered to be
in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 7.  The Company has had no business operations and no material
assets since it filed a petition (the "Petition") for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas (the "Court") in August
1992.  The Company's expenses were principally its audit fees and certain other
filing and administrative fees necessary to keep the Company in compliance with
its regulatory requirements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company filed with the Court a Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan")
on April 14, 1993, which was confirmed on September 13, 1993.  Under the Plan,
the Company's unsecured creditors received either cash or a combination of
Common Stock and Class A, B and C Warrants.  In addition, holders of
Pre-petition Common Stock received, at their option and upon payment of a $20
administrative fee to the Company's transfer agent, a combination of Common
Stock and Class A, B and C Warrants.  A total of 332,500 shares of Common Stock
and 650,000 each of Class A, B and C Warrants were issued to unsecured
creditors and shareholders under the Plan.  In addition, LITCO, the Company's
principal shareholder, contributed $20,000 to the Company and was designated as
a separate class under the Plan.  LITCO received 1,000,000 each of Class A, B
and C Warrants.  The exercise period for the Class A and B Warrants has
expired, with the exercise period for the Class C Warrants expiring on November
22, 1996.

         During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, there was no revenue
or exercise of warrants.  However, the Company issued to Halter Financial
Group, Inc. 1,693,564 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for the
payment of $1,694.00.  Certain regulatory and operational expenses were paid in
this period resulting in a loss for the period of $17,788.  The Company had
$2,794 in cash as of September 30, 1996 and accrued liabilities of $6,034
related to administrative expenses incurred by LITCO for the benefit of the
Company.  Management is unable to estimate the number, if any, of warrants that
will be exercised in the future.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

         On August 12, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and
         Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Index, Inc., a Texas
         corporation ("Index").  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each
         shareholder of the Company will receive one-fourth (1/4) of a share of
         Index common stock for each share of the Company's common stock subject
         to the merger transaction.  The effectiveness of the merger transaction
         is subject to the satisfaction of numerous contingencies.  A
         Registration Statement on Form S-4 has been filed with and declared
         effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of
         registering the shares of Index common stock issuable to shareholders
         of the Company under the Merger Agreement.  Upon consummation of the
         transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the Company will
         become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Index.

         Subsequent to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company
         issued to Halter Financial Group, Inc.  1,693,564 shares of the
         Company's common stock in exchange for the payment of $1,694.00.
