US $200,000.00                                                   August 16, 1995
                                                    Rancho Dominguez, California


     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ADVANCED MATERIALS GROUP, INC., a
Nevada corporation, successor to WILSHIRE FOAM PRODUCTS, INC., a California
corporation (hereinafter "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of
HIRAM J. JOHNSON and BETH A. JOHNSON, Trustees of the JOHNSON TRUST, est.
9/21/87 (hereinafter "Lender"), in such coin or currency of the United States
which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and
private, at the time of payment, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND AND
NO/100 DOLLARS (US $200,000.00), together with simple interest from and after
March 1, 1991, on the unpaid principal balance outstanding at a rate per annum
equal to the lesser of twelve percent (12%) or the maximum rate permitted by
law.

     Interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed
over the period of a 360-day year.

     Interest and any principal on this Note shall be due and payable in
consecutive monthly installments of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) per months
commencing on August 1, 1991, and continuing on the first day of every month
thereafter until June 1, 1997, when all unpaid principal and accrued interest
shall become due and payable.  Each payment made hereunder shall be applied
first to accrued interest and then to principal.

     If this Note is required to be collected by or through an attorney at law,
then Borrower shall be obligated to pay, in addition to the principal balance
and accrued interest, reasonable attorneys' fees.

     To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower, for itself and
its legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment,
demand, protest, notice of


<PAGE>


dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, and
diligence in collection.

     Whenever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such
a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this
Note.  No delay or failure on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any
right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an
acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender
of any right or remedy preclude any other right or remedy.

     This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of California.

     This Note is issued pursuant to and is subject to that certain Purchase
Agreement dated October 1, 1990, by and among Borrower and Wilshire Foam
Products, Inc., (thereafter known as S&J Liquidating Corp.) and Messrs. Stephen
P. Scibelli and Hiram Johnson (the "Purchase Agreement"), as amended.  All of
the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Purchase Agreement are incorporated
herein by reference except to the extent they conflict with the terms of this
Note.  The Note is nonassignable.

     As long as all debts to which this Note is subordinated pursuant to the
Post-Closing Agreement have been fully satisfied, the occurrence of an "Event
of Default" under this Note shall entitle Lender or its assignee at its
option to declare the balance of the principal of the Note immediately due
and payable, without notice to or demand upon Borrower, all of which Borrower
hereby expressly waives.  An "Event of Default" by Borrower under this Note
shall occur only if one of the following occurs after August 16, 1995, (i)
Borrower fails to pay six (6) consecutive monthly installment payments when
due under this Note, (ii) there is a change in ownership or control of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the issued and outstanding common stock of Borrower
in one or a series of related transfers (excluding transfers of the stock
held by Lender), (iii) Borrower sells, transfer, leases or otherwise disposes
of, whether by sale or otherwise, substantially all of its assets, or (iv)
Borrower acquires, merges or consolidates with or into any other business
organization and the shareholders of Borrower do not own a majority of the
ownership interest of the surviving organization.

     Until all amounts due hereunder have been paid in full, and so long as (1)
Lender is not in violation of its obligations under the covenant not to compete
under the Purchase Agreement, or (2) Lender is not working for a competitor of
Borrower, Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender or its assignee, within thirty
(30) days after the end of each month, a balance sheet and profit and loss
statement covering Borrower's operations during


                                        2


<PAGE>


such period and agrees to deliver to Lender or its assignee within ninety (90)
days after the end of each Borrower's fiscal years, an audited statement of the
financial condition of Borrower for each such fiscal year.

     Time is of the essence of this Note.

     This Note may be repaid in whole or in part without penalty.  All partial
prepayments, whether mandatory or voluntary, shall be applied to installments of
principal in the inverse order of their maturities.

     This Note amends, restates and replaces the Secured Promissory Note dated
November 16, 1990 by WFI ACQUISITION CORP. in favor of WILSHIRE FORM PRODUCTS,
INC. (a different corporation from the undersigned) in the amount of TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS (US $250,000.00) and the Amended and Restated
Promissory Note dated August 2, 1991, by WILSHIRE FOAM PRODUCTS, INC. in favor
of HIRAM J. JOHNSON and BETH A. JOHNSON, Trustees of the JOHNSON TRUST, est.
September 21, 1987 in the amount of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S.
$200,000).

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be duly executed,
sealed and delivered in Rancho Domingues, California, on the date first above-
written.
