Item 5.  Other Events

         On  October  12,  2000,  AstaFunding.com,  LLC,  a  subsidiary  of Asta
Funding,  Inc.,  entered into an Amended and Restated Stock  Purchase  Agreement
with Small  Business  Resources,  Inc.,  Small  Business  Worldwide,  Inc.,  the
newly-formed  holding company for SBR, and Hispanic Business Resources,  Inc., a
subsidiary of SBR. The Amended and Restated  Agreement  amended and restated the
terms  of the  transactions  under  the  Stock  Purchase  Agreement  dated as of
February  14, 2000  between  AstaFunding.com  and SBR.  Pursuant to the original
February  14th  Agreement  and  amendments  1  through  8  to  that   agreement,
AstaFunding.com had advanced an aggregate of $2,100,000 of loans to SBR.

         Under the  Amended and  Restated  Agreement,  AstaFunding.com  canceled
$750,000 of such  indebtedness and contributed this amount to the capital of SBW
and HBR in exchange for (among other thing):

     o    shares of SBW's common stock,  representing 19.9% of SBW's outstanding
          common stock giving effect to such issuance;

     o    a warrant to purchase up to an additional 1,698,184 shares (subject to
          reduction  if the loans  specified  below are not  advanced)  of SBW's
          common  stock,  exercisable  at any time until October 12, 2005 for an
          exercise price of $0.01 per share; and

     o    1,020,000  shares of HBR's  common  stock,  representing  51% of HBR's
          outstanding common stock giving effect to such issuance.

In addition,  under the Amended and Restated Agreement,  AstaFunding.com made an
additional  loan to SBR in the  amount  of  $175,000  and has  agreed  to extend
additional loans to SBR in the amounts of $125,000 and $100,000 in November 2000
and December 2000,  respectively,  provided that SBR meets certain  projections.
The  amounts   extended  to  SBR  have  been  funded  by  cash   contributed  to
AstaFunding.com by Asta from Asta's operations.

         SBR  is a  business-to-business  e-commerce  company  that  provides  a
business  portal  where  small  business  owners can access  content,  products,
resources and advice.  To date,  HBR has not conducted any business,  other than
corporate organizational activities.
