INFORMATION INCLUDED IN REPORT ON 8-K
ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.
On August 12, 1996, Newman Communications Corporation, a New Mexico
corporation (the "Registrant"), entered into a Subscription Agreement with
Halter Financial Group, Inc. ("Halter") pursuant to which Halter acquired
1,693,564 shares of the Registrant's common stock (the "Shares") in
consideration of the payment of $1,694.00 or $0.001 per Share. As a result of
its purchase of the Shares, Halter beneficially owns 66.2% of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Registrant's common stock. The issuance of the
Shares resulted in a change of control of the Registrant, with control being
assumed by Halter from Glenn A. Little, the Registrant's President and Chief
Executive Officer. The change in control will not result in a change in the
Registrant's Board of Directors or executive officers.
