Item 5. Other Events

Merger Agreement

        On July 13, 2000, eFax.com (the "Company") entered into a merger
agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with JFAX.COM, Inc. ("JFAX"), a unified
Internet communications company, and JFAX.COM Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed
subsidiary of JFAX (the "Merger Sub"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement,
the Company has agreed to merge with the Merger Sub (the "Merger") and become a
wholly owned subsidiary of JFAX. As consideration for the Merger, the Company's
stockholders would receive the following:

        -       For each share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per
                share (the "Common Stock"), its holder would receive a fraction
                of a share of JFAX



<PAGE>   2

                Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("JFAX Common Stock"),
                determined by the conversion number included in Annex A to this
                report (the "Conversion Number").

        -       For each share of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred
                Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series D Shares"),
                outstanding at the time of the Merger, its holder would receive
                4,922.75 shares of JFAX Common Stock (collectively if all 1,447
                Series D Shares are outstanding at the time of the Merger,
                7,123,219 shares), which amount will increase between July 12,
                2000 and the time of the Merger at an annualized rate of 3.5%.
                The holders of the preferred stock (the "Investors") have agreed
                to receive a warrant to acquire shares of JFAX Common Stock
                under the circumstances described below under "Agreement with
                Investors" instead of a portion of the JFAX Common Stock which
                they would otherwise have a right to receive as consideration
                for the Merger.

        -       The holders of the Common Stock and the Series D Shares will
                receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of JFAX Common Stock.

        Because the consideration to be received by the Investors is a fixed
amount, subject to the 3.5% annualized rate of increase, any increase or
decrease in the total consideration received in the Merger will only affect the
holders of the Common Stock. The Conversion Number will vary depending on:

        -       The amount outstanding under the term loan agreement between the
                Company and JFAX (the "Term Loan Agreement") on the closing date
                for the Merger. Under the Term Loan Agreement, the Company,
                subject to satisfying the conditions contained in the Term Loan
                Agreement, may borrow up to $5 million from JFAX;

        -       On the closing date of the Merger, the amount of cash which the
                Company has (other than cash from the sale of certain assets of
                the Company), the amount of certain of the Company's prepaid
                expenses and the amount of the Company's overdue payables;

        -       The number, if any, of the shares of Common Stock into which the
                Series D Shares are converted prior to the time of the Merger;
                and

        -       The timing of the Merger.

        For example only, for each share of Common Stock, a stockholder of the
Company would receive 0.281 shares of JFAX Common Stock (collectively, 3,801,645
shares) if:




                                       2
<PAGE>   3

        -       $5 million is outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement on the
                closing date for the Merger;

        -       On the closing date of the Merger, the Company has no cash on
                hand and it has no prepaid expenses or accounts payable which
                affect the Conversion Number; and

        -       the Merger occurs on October 31, 2000.

        As of the date of this report, the Company has borrowed $2,250,000 under
the Term Loan Agreement.

        In the event that the Merger does not occur and the Company, within two
years of the termination of the Merger discussions with JFAX, is acquired by
another entity or the Company receives at least $5 million from a securities
offering or offerings, the Company will be required to pay JFAX an amount equal
to:

        -       1,750,000, times

        -       The fair market value of one share of the Common Stock at the
                time of the acquisition or the securities offering, less $0.10.

        The 1,750,000 amount will be reduced to 750,000 if the termination of
the Merger Agreement occurs because JFAX's stockholders do not approve the
Merger or if JFAX materially breaches the Merger Agreement.

        If the Company is acquired by another entity, it must pay the amount to
JFAX promptly following the consummation of the acquisition. If the Company does
a securities offering, it is required to make the payment within 270 days of the
offering.

        The consummation of the Merger will depend upon the approval of the
Merger by both the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock and the holders of a majority of the JFAX Common Stock being voted at the
meeting to approve the Merger. To complete the Merger, the Company and JFAX must
also fulfill the other conditions required by the Merger Agreement. Prior to the
stockholders' meetings, a registration statement on Form S-4 must be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and be declared effective. If all of the
required conditions are met, the Merger is expected to be completed in the
fourth quarter of 2000.

        The details of the Merger and the Merger Agreement are more fully
presented in the Merger Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this
report.

Agreements with Investors

        On July 13, 2000, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the
"Exchange Agreement") with the Investors and the Company and JFAX entered into a
side agreement (the "Side Agreement") with the Investors. Under the terms of the
Exchange Agreement, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by the
Investors will be converted into an equal number of Series D Shares. The
exchange is expected to occur by July 17, 2000.

        Under the terms of the Side Agreement, each Investor has agreed that as
consideration for the Merger it would receive:

        -       Shares of JFAX Common Stock to the extent that such shares held
                by the Investor and its affiliates do not exceed 10% (the "10%
                Limitation") of the total outstanding shares of JFAX Common
                Stock immediately following the Merger; and

        -       A warrant, exercisable for JFAX Common Stock at $0.01 per share,
                to acquire the number of shares of JFAX Common Stock which could
                not be acquired because of the 10% Limitation.

        The Conversion Number will be unaffected by whether the Investors
receive shares of JFAX Common Stock or a warrant to acquire shares of JFAX
Common Stock.

        In addition, the Side Agreement provides that JFAX will file a resale
registration statement to permit the Investors to resell any shares of JFAX
Common Stock which the Investors may acquire upon the exercise of the warrant.
The Investors also have agreed to waive any appraisal rights which they may have
in connection with the Merger.

        Under the terms of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and
Rights of the Series D Shares, the holders of the shares have the right to
require the Company to redeem the Series D Shares for cash in certain events,
including if the total consideration payable to the holders of the Common Stock
is more than 4.8 million shares of JFAX Common Stock.

Agreement with IGC

        On June 30, 2000, the Company and JFAX entered into an Agreement of
Understanding (the "Agreement of Understanding") with Integrated Global
Concepts, Inc. ("IGC"). IGC has been providing the Company with development and
co-location services necessary for the Company's operations. The Agreement of
Understanding provides that at the time of the closing of the Merger:

        -       IGC will grant the Company a license to certain software
                developed by IGC which the Company uses in its operations.




                                        4

<PAGE>   5

        -       IGC will waive all claims which it may have against the Company
                in connection with development services it has previously
                provided to the Company.

        -       JFAX will issue 2,000,000 shares of JFAX Common Stock to IGC. In
                addition, the Agreement of Understanding provides that JFAX will
                file a resale registration statement to permit IGC to resell the
                shares of JFAX Common Stock which it is acquiring.

        The Agreement of Understanding was entered into as a result of the
Company's desire to acquire a license to the software developed by IGC, to pay
IGC for development work performed by IGC for which IGC claimed it had not
received adequate compensation, and to ensure the provision of certain
transition services.

Nasdaq National Market Listing

        The Company has been notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market that it no
longer complies with the requirements for continued listing. At a Nasdaq
qualifications hearing held on July 13, 2000, the Company appealed this
determination. In its appeal, the Company requested that Nasdaq permit the
continued listing of the Company's Common Stock pending the completion of the
Merger. Nasdaq is expected to render its decision over the next several weeks
and the Company is cooperating with Nasdaq in its decision-making process. The
Company cannot provide any assurance that its appeal to remain listed on The
Nasdaq National Market will be successful and, if successful, that the Company
will not be delisted at some later time. In the event of a delisting, the
Company will attempt to have its Common Stock listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market or the over-the-counter electronic bulletin board sponsored by Nasdaq. In
such event, investors may find it more difficult to trade in the Company's
Common Stock or to obtain accurate, current information concerning market
prices.

The exchange ratio, or the number of shares of JFAX Common Stock into which each
share of the Company's Common Stock shall be convertible, and for which each
share of the Company's Common Stock shall be exchanged, shall be determined by
the following formula:


        CN   =    11,000,000    +    $5,000,000 - LA + M - O$
                  ----------         -----------------------
                       N                  FMV(J)  x  N

                Where:

        CN = the Conversion Number (the second of the fractions comprising CN
        may be a negative number).


                        LA = the sum of (x) the amount of loan proceeds
                        disbursed under the Term Loan Agreement as of the
                        closing date for the Merger (the "Closing Date") which
                        have not been repaid and (y) the amount of payables of
                        the Company that are 45 days or more past due as of the
                        Closing Date.

                        FMV(J) = the average closing price of the JFAX Common
                        Stock for the five trading days beginning on and
                        including the seventh trading day prior to the Closing
                        Date.

                        M = the sum of (x) cash on hand at the Company as of the
                        Closing Date (but not including any cash deposited or
                        required under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement to
                        be deposited into the Asset Sales Account (as defined in
                        the Term Loan Agreement) plus (y) any of the Company's
                        prepaid rents and insurance premiums (but only to the
                        extent a pro-rata refund of any such premium is
                        available as to insurance policies (other than the
                        Company's D&O insurance policy) which will be cancelled,
                        at the election of JFAX or otherwise, following the
                        closing) as of closing (in no event will M exceed LA).

        O$ = the amount of any cash received by the Company upon (a) exercise of
        employee stock options under the Company's stock option plans, (b)
        purchases pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plan, or (c)
        exercise of the Company's warrants during the period between July 13,
        2000 and the date of the Merger.




                                       8
<PAGE>   9

        N = an amount equal to the sum of (w) 13,520,895 (the number of
        outstanding shares of Common Stock on July 13, 2000), plus (x) shares of
        Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion of the Series D Shares
        during the period between the date hereof and the time immediately prior
        to the time of the Merger, plus (y) any other shares of the Common Stock
        issued during the period between the date hereof and the time
        immediately prior to the Merger, except any shares issued (a) upon
        exercise of employee stock options under the Company's stock option
        plans, (b) upon purchase pursuant to the Company's employee stock
        purchase plan, or (c) upon exercise of the Company's warrants, plus (z)
        the total number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon
        the conversion of the Series D Shares that remain outstanding
        immediately prior to the Merger, assuming that all such Series D Shares
        were then converted.
