NAHC, Inc. (nf/k/a Novacare, Inc. )
Summary: According to the docket posted, on October 25, 2002, the Court entered the Order from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, affirming the District Court’s October 17, 2001 Order dismissing the case.

As disclosed by the Company’s FORM 10-Q For The Quarterly Period Ended March 31, 2002, on October 17, 2001, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania dismissed the Brady case against the Company with prejudice. The plaintiff has appealed this decision and filed their most recent reply brief on April 25, 2002.

Six similar actions have been filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, including one that alleges a class period from May 20, 1998 through November 22, 1999. They have been consolidated into a single action. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is named as a defendant in the case. The Plaintiffs asserted that the Company and certain of its directors and officers violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 by making false and misleading tatements and omissions regarding the prospects of NAHC's business and NAHC's liquidation value and by failing timely to disclose the impact of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 on the long term care services business. The Plaintiffs allege that these statements and omissions artificially inflated the value of the Company's stock during the class period. The Plaintiffs also assert a violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 against the Company and individual Defendants as well as against Wasserstein Perella & Co. in connection with the Company's proxy statements dated August 13, 1999, as amended through September 10, 1999. The Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants were negligent in disseminating the proxy statements, which allegedly contained materially statements. Wasserstein Perella & Co. has notified the Company that it will seek indemnification from the Company in connection with this action, pursuant to its engagement agreement with the Company.
