ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS. New Generation Foods, Inc. (the "Company") has acquired an option (the "Option") to purchase the assets of the Credit Risk Monitor credit information service ("CRM") from Market Guide Inc. ("MGI"). Exercise of the Option, which expires November 30, 1998 unless extended to no later than January 31, 1999 (the "Option Period"), is at the sole discretion of the Company and is conditioned on, among other things, the Company's ability to raise financing of approximately $2.5 million to fund the initial payment and CRM's working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that said financing will be obtained and/or that the Option will be exercised. During the Option Period, Jerome S. Flum, Chairman and President of the Company, will act as an unpaid, part-time consultant to MGI, assisting in the management of CRM. If the Option is exercised, the purchase price for the CRM assets will be approximately $2.5 Million, less the amount of $60,000 paid by the Company for the Option (subject to increase, up to $70,000, if the Option Period is extended until January 31, 1998), and subject to certain other adjustments. Of this price, approximately $1.5 Million is payable in cash at the closing and the balance will be evidenced by a promissory note, payable with interest at the rate of 6% per annum which shall accrue commencing July 1, 2001, in 24 equal monthly installments of principal and interest commencing July 30, 2001 and ending June 30, 2003. Certain other costs and expenses to be paid by the Company, in an amount to be determined at closing, will be evidenced by a separate promissory note, payable with interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum, which shall accrue from the closing date until January 30, 2001, whereupon all principal and accrued interest will be payable in 24 equal monthly installments of principal and interest commencing January 31, 2001 and ending December 31, 2003. The notes will be secured by a first priority purchase money security interest on substantially all of the assets of the Company. A copy of the press release issued by the Company in connection with the acquisition of the Option is attached as Exhibit 20 hereto. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (c) Exhibits. 20. Press release dated September 9, 1998. SIGNATURE 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 hereunto duly authorized. NEW GENERATION FOODS, INC. By: /s/Jerome S. Flum Name: Jerome S. Flum Title: Chairman of the Board and Principal Financial Officer DATE: September 24, 1998 EXHIBIT LIST Exhibit Number 20. Press Release dated September 9, 1998. EX-20 2 EXHIBIT 20 [LOGO] NEWS RELEASE AT NEW GENERATION FOODS, INC. Jerry Flum Chairman & CEO (516)327-2400 ext. 224 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW GENERATION FOODS SECURES OPTION TO BUY CREDITRISK MONITOR'S INTERNET SERVICE Lake Success, New York, September 9, 1998 --- New Generation Foods, Inc. (OTCBB: NGNF) announced that it has entered into an option agreement to purchase the assets of the CreditRisk Monitor (CRM) credit information service from Market Guide Inc. (Nasdaq: MARG). CRM (creditriskmonitor.com) is the only real-time, interactive, Internet-based service, targeted at corporate credit personnel. Jerry Flum, Chairman and CEO of New Generation Foods, commented, "CRM currently has over 300 customers, most of whom are major corporations, and should finish calendar 1998 with over 400 customers. CRM's service is sold on a renewable yearly subscription basis, which generates a stable recurring income stream. In addition, the Company believes that CRM's revenue may be counter cyclical to a significant extent since the importance of assessing credit risk increases if economic growth slows or declines. The Company believes that CRM's cash revenue should be approximately $1.2 million and $2.5 million for 1998 and 1999, respectively. If the option is exercised, the Company believes that CRM will have positive cash flow in 2000 and that cash flow will be sufficient to meet the balance of the purchase price due and to fund future working capital needs thereafter." If the option is exercised, the purchase price of approximately $2.5 million is payable as follows: An initial payment of $1.5 million less adjustments by January 31, 1999, and the balance in equal monthly installments, beginning in July 2001 and ending in June 2003. Exercise of the option is at the discretion of New Generation Foods, and is dependent, in large part, on the Company's ability to raise financing of approximately $2.5 million to fund the initial payment and CRM's working capital requirement. New Generation Foods emphasized that there can be no assurance that it will conclude the transaction. New Generation Foods is a non-operating corporation with approximately $75,000 of assets and $45,000 of liabilities, and, as previously reported, an aggregate of $16.0 million of tax loss carryforwards (expiring in varying amounts annually though 2017). The Company's capitalization consists of 399,830 shares of common stock and 1,100,000 shares of preferred stock, convertible into 3,599,000 common shares, or a total of approximately 4 million shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis.
