Item 1.01 and 2.03. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement; Creation of Direct Financial Obligation

          On October 29, 2008, Velocity Investments, LLC (“Velocity”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Velocity Asset Management, Inc. (the “Registrant”) consummated a final closing of a private placement offering of 14% Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) due 2011 (the “Offering”) to accredited investors (“Investors”). The Notes are being offered and sold pursuant to exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Offering, Velocity issued the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000, and also entered into Subscription Agreements with the Noteholders.

           Together with a previous private placement, to date, Velocity has issued Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,300,000. Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears beginning on the last day of the month that is four months from the date of the Notes. Velocity will pay the principal amount of the Notes upon the earlier of maturity or redemption. The Notes will be subordinated in liquidation preference and in right of payment to all of the Registrant’s existing debt. The Notes will be senior in right of payment and in liquidation preference to any future “long term” debt of the Registrant. Upon an event of default, Velocity will pay the Note holder a late charge computed at the rate of 18% per annum of the amount not paid. Of the $1,300,000 in Notes that were issued, $900,000 are held by related parties to Velocity, including a Note in the amount of $150,000 to our CEO, John Kleinert, and Notes in the aggregate of $750,000 to immediate family members of John Kleinert.

          Velocity intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering primarily for the purchase of portfolios of unsecured consumer receivables and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

Item 1.01. Amendment of a Material Definitive Agreement

          On November 1, 2008, Velocity Investments, LLC (“Velocity”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Velocity Asset Management, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment to the Loan Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., a California corporation (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to amend the Loan and Security Agreement dated January 27, 2005 (the “Original Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment to the Loan Agreement, the applicable interest rate on loans to Velocity changed from the prime rate plus 1.5% to the rate equal to the three months LIBOR plus 4%. Also pursuant to the Fifth Amendment to the Loan Agreement, the Loan Sub-Account Amortization Schedule which sets forth the maximum principal loan amount Velocity may have outstanding during a three-month period, has been extended from 36 months to 42 months.
