Item 5.   Other Events.

On December 3, 1996 Advanced Materials Group, Inc. announced that its largest
operating subsidiary, Advanced Materials, Inc., (AMI), successfully negotiated a
three-year, $5 million credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank. The secured line
was effective November 27. Availability under the credit line is based on
accounts receivable, inventory and capital equipment. Interest is prime plus two
percent. The new line replaces AMI's prior secured line with Concord Growth,
which expired on November 1. The interest rate on the line with Concord Growth
was prime plus four percent.

Advanced Materials Group, Inc. intends for the new credit facility to fund
working capital requirements in response to the Company's rapid growth and to
continue expansion, which may include the acquisition of complementary
businesses.

In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Advanced Materials Group, Inc. (the "Company") is
hereby filing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could
cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward looking statements of the Company made by, or on behalf of the Company.

Item 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits.

The following is filed as an Exhibit to this Report.


Exhibit Number 99

Description


Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

                                      EXHIBIT 99

PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides for a new "safe
harbor" for forward looking statements to encourage Companies to provide
prospective information about their companies without fear of litigation so long
as those statements are identified as forward looking and are accompanied by
meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statement. The
Company desires to take advantage of the new "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 and is filing this Form 8-K in order to do
so. The Act only became law in late December 1995 and, except for the Conference
Report, no official interpretations of the Act's provisions have been published.
Accordingly, the Company hereby identifies the following important factors which
could cause the Company's actual financial results to differ materially from any
such results which might be projected, forecast, estimated or budgeted by the
Company in forward looking statements.

a)  General business conditions, including a worsening economy which might slow
    the overall demand for the Company's products; increased inflationary
    pressures which might lead to increasing prices for raw materials, labor,
    and increases of interest costs based on the Company's borrowing
    activities.

b)  Competitive factors, including the entry of new competitors into the
    marketplace and/or heightened competition from existing competitors; and
    the introduction of new products or technologies by customers or
    competitors.

c)  Under utilization of the Company's factories and plants, or of any new
    plants.

d)  Concentrations of sales in markets and customers.

e)  Failure to obtain new customers, retain customers or volume reductions by
    current customers.

f)  Concentrations of raw material suppliers, including difficulties or delays
    in obtaining raw materials.

g)  Inability to execute marketing and sales plans, including price increases.

h)  Failure to attract and retain R&D/engineering staffing to support sales
    efforts.

i)  Inability to develop cost effective means for timely production of new
    product orders in required quantities.

j)  Delays or cancellations of orders; timing of significant orders; and
    introduction of new products.

k)  Short-term fluctuations in margins due to yields and efficiencies.

l)  Loss of executive management or other key employees.

m)  Changes in financing amount, availability or cost.

n)  The effects of changes in costs and availability of insurance coverage.

o)  The effects of changes in compensation or benefit plans.

<PAGE>

p)  Adoptions of new, or changes in, accounting policies and practices and the
    application of such policies and practices.

q)  Adverse results in significant litigation matters.

Many of the foregoing important factors have been discussed in Advanced
Materials Group, Inc.'s prior SEC filings and, had the Act been effective at a
different time, would have been discussed in the Company's 10-KSB instead of
this 8-K. The foregoing review of factors pursuant to the Private Litigation
Securities Reform Act of 1995 should not be construed as exhaustive or as any
admission regarding the adequacy of disclosures made by the Company prior to the
effective date of said Act.
