ITEM 5.  OTHER MATTERS

     Reference is made to Item 3 of Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB 
for the year ended November 30, 1997. On October 5, 1998, a judgment was 
entered, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 
California, against the Registrant's Condor Utility Products, Inc. subsidiary 
(Condor) for breach of a requirements contract. The verdict, in favor of Vern 
and Shirley Auten and d/b/a Aglo Plastics Co., was in the amount of $382,500. 
The Autens may also be entitled to pre-judgment interest and attorney's fees. 
These amounts cannot be reasonably determined at this time.

     Condor prevailed on a related patent infringement claim. The jury was 
unable to reach a verdict in a separate claim by the Autens against Condor 
and Mr. Gary Valiska, the founder of Condor, for intentional infliction of 
emotional distress, and that claim has been remanded to state court for 
retrial.

     The breach of contract and emotional distress actions were originally 
filed prior to the Registrant's acquisition of Condor in 1993. As part of the 
stock purchase agreement, the Registrant negotiated an indemnification 
agreement with Mr. Valiska, which requires Mr. Valiska to indemnify the 
Registrant for 75% of any judgment. At this time it is uncertain what, if 
any, amounts may be collected under the indemnification agreement.

     The Registrant is currently reviewing all options, including the 
possibility of an appeal. The Registrant firmly believes that the facts do 
not support either the verdict or the amount of damages in this case.





                                 SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the 
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the 
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.



Dated: October 9, 1998                   ADVANCED MATERIALS GROUP, INC.
