Impath, Inc. primarily provides cancer diagnostic and prognostic information.

The Complaint alleges that Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by issuing numerous positive statements throughout the Class Period regarding the Company's financial performance. As alleged in the Complaint, these statements were each materially false and misleading when made as they failed to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse facts which were then known to Defendants or recklessly disregarded by them: (a) that the Company was failing to timely record an impairment in the value of its accounts receivables. As a result, the Company's reported financial results were artificially inflated throughout the Class Period; (b) that the Company was failing to properly account for its GeneBank(TM) asset, thereby overstating its reported financial results; and (c) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's financial statements published during the Class Period were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and were therefore materially false and misleading. On July 30, 2003, Impath shocked the market when it issued a press release announcing that it had initiated an investigation into possible accounting irregularities involving accounts receivables which the Company believes have been materially overstated and will likely require restatement. Following this announcement, shares of Impath common stock were halted from trading.

By the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action, dated March 10, 2005, a proposed settlement fund has been established in the amount of $22.6 million plus interest. A settlement hearing was scheduled for May 3, 2005, to determine: (1) whether the settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable and adequate to Members of the Class; (2) whether the proposed plan to distribute the settlement proceeds (the “Plan of Allocation”) is fair, reasonable, and adequate; (3) whether the application by lead Counsel for an award of attorney’s fees and expenses should be approved; and (4) whether the Litigation should be dismissed with prejudice.

According to the latest docket posted, the settlement was approved, and on June 9, 2005, the Court entered the Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice. The Court further entered the Orders approving the Plan of Allocation, and awarding lead Counsel attorneys' fees of 16.85% of the settlement fund and reimbursement of expenses in an aggregate amount of $113,752.54 with interest.
