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.
