PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

NWH, Inc. ("NWH" or the "Company"), formerly National Wireless Holdings
Inc., a Delaware corporation organized on August 31, 1993, is an electronic
commerce and communications company focusing primarily on acquisition and
operation of telecommunications, e-commerce and other strategically linked
businesses. The Company currently owns and operates Electronic Network Systems,
Inc. ("ENS"), formerly known as Electronic Data Submission Systems, Inc., a
business-to-business healthcare e-commerce data interchange company, providing
links between healthcare providers and payers. In addition, the Company
continues its business of acquiring controlling interests in telecommunications,
healthcare and other strategically linked areas. The Company may acquire or
invest in other businesses. In June 1997, the Company sold its wireless cable
assets in Miami Florida in exchange for common stock of BellSouth Corporation.

The Company's executive offices are located at 156 West 56th Street,
Suite 2001, New York, New York 10019, telephone: (212) 582-1212.

ELECTRONIC NETWORK SYSTEMS, INC.

GENERAL

NWH manages ENS and owns 91.5% of ENS' outstanding stock. ENS changed
its name from Electronic Data Submission Systems, Inc. in December, 2001.

ENS is a leading healthcare transactions-processing intermediary. At
ENS, we execute a full-cycle suite of payer-driven services and products known
as Health-e Network(R) that establishes a transactions processing environment
for payers, physicians and other healthcare providers, including hospitals and
laboratories. Our services and products, create healthcare e-commerce
connectivity between payers, physicians and other healthcare providers, (2)
significantly reduce the volume of paper healthcare transactions and processing
errors, and (3) set a clear migration path for payers, physicians and other
healthcare providers to utilize Internet and Web-based applications and services
effectively for greater operational efficiency. We believe Health-e Network(R)
is one of the most effective services addressing the need to handle both paper
and electronic transactions on behalf of its customers, to reduce or eliminate
inefficient paper transactions and to conduct business electronically.

In excess of 20,000 providers are connected to our e-commerce and
Internet services and, through our payer contracts, we currently conduct daily
paper to e-commerce claim conversion for another 185,000 healthcare providers.
Our revenues are generated from payers, physicians,

3

other providers and strategic partners through recurring subscriptions, flat or
per transaction fees and revenue sharing. As of January 10, 2002, we were
connected to over 850 commercial healthcare plans, managed care organizations
and Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans, as well as Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS.

We focus on the current and future connectivity and transactions
processing requirements of the healthcare industry. We provide healthcare
providers with a secure infrastructure for web-based and private network
transactions consisting of, among others, electronic medical claims processing,
electronic claims tracking and patient eligibility verification. We also provide
health care payers e-commerce connectivity with their provider constituency as
well as paper claims conversion, pre-adjudication, reporting, education and
marketing support to increase utilization of e-commerce in this industry. Our
strategy for the future is to facilitate the migration of provider and payer
clients from their current inefficient, non-integrated transactions processing
environments to efficient, seamlessly integrated applications utilizing the
transactions processing capabilities of Health-e Network(R). Traditional
applications linked to on-all-the-time Internet capabilities or Application
Service Provider (ASP) environments will be able to route real-time transactions
to and from all payers utilizing Health-e Network(R). We believe that the
transition to these new levels of integrated transactions processing
capabilities will drastically change how the business of healthcare is conducted
among healthcare participants. We plan to continue to expand this transactions
infrastructure as management believes these applications will evolve into viable
and widely used systems over the next three to five years.

ENS SERVICES - HEALTH-E NETWORK(R)

Health-e Network(R) suite of services addresses 100% of the healthcare
industry's transaction processing, both e-commerce and paper. As a provider of a
full-cycle payer, physician and provider e-commerce suite of services, ENS
developed these services to enhance the providers' and payers' administrative
efficiency. Complexity of the service offerings ranges from a front-end data
capture/transmission software, to advanced pre-adjudication software, to simple
mailroom services. ENS presently services over 850 payer clients for the
e-commerce claims component of Health-e Network(R) and provides eight payer
organizations with the full suite of payer services.

Health-e Network(R) includes the following:

o HEALTHCARE E-COMMERCE TRANSACTIONS PROCESSING ENS delivers multiple
applications that enable healthcare providers easily to conduct key
healthcare transactions with many payers. ENS provides these e-commerce
applications through the Internet and on multiple operating systems. ENS
also delivers transaction processing capabilities to strategic partners,
such as medical management companies, who with their own software, access
payers to conduct electronic business transactions via use of ENS'
Application Programming Interface (API). ENS currently processes and routes
medical and hospital claims, eligibility requests and responses, claims
status, claims tracking, claim payment remittance information, reporting,
referral and authorization transactions. ENS plans to support all of the
HIPAA defined transactions and deliver to providers various methods of
conducting those transactions with payers.

4

o PROVIDER CONNECTIVITY (XPEDITE(TM)) enables ENS to identify the paper and
manual transaction volumes of a payer's provider groups, target high paper
submitters, track internal progress, and market specifically to selected
healthcare transaction submitters. Based on payer specific criteria, ENS
assigns different levels of internal resources to convert these providers
to electronic business processes with the payer. The Xpedite(TM) conversion
program then goes beyond the sales process and combines efforts of all ENS
internal departments. The purpose of Xpedite(TM) is to connect providers on
behalf of payer organizations to make the participants more efficient
through e-commerce.

o AUTOMATED DOCUMENT SERVICES(TM) (ADS(TM)) provides payers the complete
front-end handling and conversion (imaging/scanning) of paper claims forms
to an e-commerce format. Paper claims still constitute from 55-60% of
provider claims volume industry-wide to commercial payers. As the claims
are converted to an electronic format, ENS captures the names of all
paper-submitting providers in order to convert them for other e-commerce
products and services with the payer's support. Utilization of Health-e
Network(R) (which includes ADS(TM)) provides a payer with the opportunity
to have 100% e-commerce claims receipts. With ENS as their partner and core
e-commerce strategy implementer, payers can increase e-commerce
transactions from their provider constituency.

o PRE-ADJUDICATION SOFTWARE SYSTEM(TM) (PASS(TM)) provides a single,
HIPAA-compliant connectivity entry point to a payer for all claims
transactions, including transactions received via the Internet, through
private e-commerce networks, and received on paper. PASS(TM) channels the
claims by utilizing customized and algorithm-based logic, and conducts the
vital claims processing function of provider and member matching, including
real-time eligibility verification, a critical payer requirement for
increased claims paying accuracy and efficiency. ENS' PASS(TM) is an open,
flexible solution that is used with the vast majority of today's payer
operating environments.

o ELIGIBILITY is an ENS service that provides physician practices with
immediate access to participating payers plus various regional and
governmental payers for determining member plan eligibility. This service
is delivered over the Internet and receives constant updating.

o ELECTRONIC CLAIMS TRACKING (ECT(TM)) provides immediate Internet-based
tracking of both e-commerce claims and, for those payers utilizing Health-e
Network(R), up-dated status on the paper claims that have been converted to
an e-commerce format. ENS believes that this is the first tool that affords
providers the opportunity to utilize an Internet application to track
claims forwarded to payers electronically.

o DIRECT-PAYER E-COMMERCE provides network connectivity for HIPAA-defined
transactions to and from payer organizations from existing physicians and
gateways.

o CUSTOMER SERVICE. As an adjunct to its transaction processing services, we
maintain customer service facilities with help desks for real-time customer
inquiries. We offer on-line and personal technical support. Client support
employs a modern call tracking and response system that is directly
connected to the processing center.

5

As of January 10, 2002, in excess of 20,000 physicians were actively
submitting electronic healthcare transactions via Health-e Network(R) suite of
services with over an additional 2,000 contracted providers scheduled to be
installed in 2002.

STRATEGY

ENS' mission is to eliminate paper and administrative expenses and
delays within the healthcare industry. According to the U.S. General Accounting
Office (GAO), $0.20 of every healthcare dollar is spent on administrative costs.
In addition to the almost 8 billion medical claims filed each year, HIPAA
mandates health care plans to process electronically roughly 35 billion
additional related transactions.

ENS' main business objectives are 1) to increase profitability of its
existing business by increasing transaction types and services delivered by the
Company; 2) to increase revenue through new payer and provider clients as well
as strategic partners and vendors; 3) to improve customer satisfaction and
service levels; and 4) to develop and foster a positive employee work
environment. These strategic initiatives are being driven through a full cycle
payer-driven model of implementing and increasing payers' provider e-commerce
connectivity for HIPAA-mandated transactions, processing and "cleaning" claims
for auto-adjudication by the payers, and helping to facilitate the payers'
regulatory electronic transaction needs.

- - CONNECTIVITY STRATEGY

Xpedite is ENS'system for targeting, marketing, and connecting
providers. This has evolved into a solution for all the provider e-commerce
connectivity needs of health care payers. Specific markets are identified by
payers, then ENS seeks to coordinate all the key payers within a particular
market and to develop a specific co-marketing plan directed first towards
paper-submitting providers, including targeted mailers, educational seminars,
promotional discounts, and a number of other activities geared toward enticing
the providers to convert from paper to electronic processing.

- -"CLEAN CLAIM" STRATEGY

ENS enables payers to process claims cleanly as follows: 1) it includes
only those claims that are theirs; 2) it includes no duplicates; 3) if a claim
needs to go somewhere first (such as a preferred provider organization or
delegated provider group), it reroutes it automatically; and 4) it arranges for
payers to receive claims in a form that fits their system configuration. Clean
claims mean higher auto-adjudication, faster payments, less administrative
costs, and higher accuracy. PASS(TM), ENS' pre-adjudication software system, has
continued to grow and evolve in functionality, while keeping with its premise of
"delivering a clean claim."

- -HIPAA TRANSACTION PORTAL STRATEGY.

ENS simplifies the payer information technology environment by
providing management

6

of all front-end format requirements of a payer. ENS'strategy is to provide a
payer focused solution that meets HIPAA mandates for targeted payer
organizations. The ENS HIPAA transaction portal 1) provides a compliance
methodology on all HIPAA-mandated transactions; 2) offers payer-to-provider
connectivity services on all related e-commerce transactions through Xpedite; 3)
connects practice management software organizations through a HIPAA-compliant
vendor integration API (Application Programming Interface); 4) presents an all
payer co-brandable (or private label) graphical user interface application with
potential revenue sharing for payers to conduct e-commerce transactions with
their providers; 5) incorporates PASS(TM) services, including claims receipt and
response, eligibility request/response, and possible claims status; and 6)
enables use of ADS(TM).

- -MARKETING AND BRANDING STRATEGY.

With the public announcement of the name change to Electronic Network
Systems (ENS) on December 3, 2001, ENS is taking the opportunity to launch a new
logo, new look, and new website. With new co-brandable services, and our new
co-brandable Web Enrollment service to be released mid to late January, 2002,
ENS will be utilizing the tagline of Health-e Network(R) for all services,
whether sold via ENS, payer clients, or practice management software vendors.
Health-e Network(R) will be carried through all services with its own domain/URL
site. Payer-partners and vendor-partners will be referred to as participants in
ENS' Health-e Network(R).

INDUSTRY

We believe that healthcare information services will continue to be one
of the fastest growing segments within the healthcare industry, and the use of
e-commerce and the Internet (though in their early stages) will dramatically
increase over the next 3 to 5 years as a major component of daily operations for
healthcare industry participants.

Demand for our services is driven by three factors. First, payer
organizations are tightening their budgets and lowering reimbursements to
providers. Payers must secure outsourcing services that bring them greater
efficiencies and support higher levels of electronic transaction processing
between them and their respective provider networks. Second, the payer community
is focusing on decreasing operating costs and increasing profit margins. Payers
have an incentive to increase the use of e-commerce and the Internet because
electronic transactions cost payers less to administer. By contracting with ENS
for utilization of our services, payers have an opportunity for fixed cost
pricing and significant levels of overhead reduction. Third, government and
industry legislation and rulemaking, especially the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Joint Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), industry accreditation groups such as the
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and organized lobbies
representing provider groups are requiring the use of standard transactions,
standard identifiers, security and other standards and requirements for the
transmission of certain electronic health information. These regulations are
also driving the development and standardization of many other electronic
healthcare transaction types for additional administrative simplification. As a
result, payers are moving to outsource many primary transactions processing
functions (i.e. paper claims, imaging/scanning, e-commerce implementation,
pre-adjudication, mailroom services, etc.) to reduce their internal information

7

technology staffing costs, meet government regulations, as well as partnering to
achieve increased levels of provider connectivity.

ENS presents significant opportunities, especially in the physician
market. According to the 2000 Health Data Directory, 64.5% of claims are
submitted electronically via third parties or on a direct basis to payers. The
largest share of electronic claims (including 89% of Medicaid and 84% of
Medicare) are sent to the government, which requires electronic transmission. Of
the payers, commercial and managed care organizations receive the lowest
percentage of electronic claims (45% and 18%, respectively). Of the providers,
hospitals send the most electronic claims (84.5%) and physicians send the least
(43%).

Growing interest in electronic healthcare administrative and financial
transactions has resulted from the anticipated lower costs of adopting and
utilizing the Internet. The healthcare industry's continuing reliance on paper
and manual processing is costly and inefficient, a status making it a prime
target for many of the latest workflow technologies. The promise of the Internet
has been met with a flurry of companies offering all levels of new
Internet-based services to the healthcare industry. Although technically the
efficiencies are clearly available, healthcare as an industry moves slowly and
adoption and integration of these offerings into daily practice has so far been
at a very low level.

The Administration Simplification Act, Section F of HIPAA, requires the
adoption of eight standard financial and administrative formats to enable health
information to be exchanged electronically, thus improving the efficiency and
effectiveness of the health care system. HIPAA-AS should accelerate the number
of electronic claims, and related transactions, such as eligibility, enrollments
and disenrollments, etc. As payers must develop the capacity to accept or send
HIPAA-AS mandated transaction sets, payers can look to third parties such as
Health-e Network(R) to accept or send transaction information on their behalf.
Management believes that the combination of HIPAA, NCQA, and other healthcare
lobbying groups should drive the growth of batch (medical) claims, real-time
transactions, and claims outsourcing processes.

COMPETITION

The healthcare industry continues to suffer from outdated paper and
manual processing. Although technically the efficiencies from use of the
internet and other e-commerce tools are clearly available, healthcare remains
today less technically sophisticated for most of its transaction processing.
Many competitors, such as WedMD, ClaimsNet and others, offer all levels of new
Internet-based services to the healthcare industry. To date, adoption and
integration into daily practice of these offerings has been at a very low level.
ENS expects increasing levels of e-commerce application adoption by the
healthcare industry's primary participants over the next three to five years.
ENS competes against traditional claims clearinghouses, such as WebMD,
MedUnite/NDC, Per-Se Technologies, ProxyMed, and others. ENS has in the past
competed with legacy practice management systems vendors offering a claims
processing component. However, in the past year, ENS began partnering with many
new vendors by offering back-end processing, integrated and co-brandable
solutions.

Factors influencing competition in the healthcare market include (i)
compatibility with the provider's software and inclusion in practice management
products and (ii) relationships with

8

third-party payers, including managed care organizations. ENS believes that the
most significant factors in developing and maintaining relationships with its
customers are the breadth, price and quality of ENS' products and services,
provider level support and ENS' ability to address its customers' current needs
effectively while facilitating the transition to high levels of utilization of
Internet applications. We seek to establish a predictable recurring revenue
stream by entering into multi-year agreements.

SALES AND MARKETING

ENS develops and maintains payer, provider and vendor relationships
through our sales and marketing personnel located in five geographic regions.
Our sales and marketing strategy focuses on selling our services to providers
either directly, through sales representatives and through organizations, such
as healthcare finance consulting firms, practice management software firms,
application service providers, and health care plan administrators that have
relationships with or access to a large number of providers. ENS develops
long-term relationships with systems vendors, third party payers and other large
submitters of healthcare transactions. In addition, we work closely with
practice management system vendors to provide an integrated solution to
providers.

Some of our payer clients co-sponsor marketing initiatives with
healthcare provider groups to educate and help initiate the adoption of
healthcare e-commerce utilizing ENS services. These initiatives have proven to
be effective in driving the e-commerce connectivity of payer organizations with
their provider base via ENS.

CUSTOMERS

Our principal customers consist of healthcare providers, such as
physicians, hospitals, clinics and billing services, and third-party payers,
such as indemnity insurers, managed care organizations, preferred provider
organizations, claims submitters and state/federal governmental agencies. In
addition, ENS markets its services indirectly to providers and payers through
third party administrators, aggregators, consultants and accountants. Benesight
and Lifeguard accounted for 30% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues during
fiscal 2001. QualMed, Inc. and Benesight accounted for 16% and 14%,
respectively, of total revenues during fiscal 2000.

We typically provide real-time services to customers under contracts
that are not exclusive and generally do not guarantee a specific transaction
volume or revenue stream. The pricing of our services both on a monthly and
per-claim basis is set under contracts typically having terms of one to seven
years, subject to a variety of early cancellation arrangements.

We enter into contracts with providers, payers and other claim
submitters, such as third party administrators, practice management system
vendors, clearinghouses and billing services. Our claim submitter contracts
often contain exclusivity provisions whereby the submitter agrees to process all
claims through us, provided that we have network access to the payer.

9

OPERATIONS

We deliver our services via a state-of-the-art network comprised of
multiple servers, a mixture of commercial and Health-e Network(R) proprietary
software, high-speed Ethernet connections, and dial-up and private-line
connections to/from customers.

Our computer network provides for multi-path host access with a high
degree of accuracy and integrity. It was designed to operate continuously and
was constructed and engineered with fault tolerance and redundancy in mind.
Servers are typically configured with redundant hard drives, multiple power
supplies, and multiple processors. Power is provided via uninterruptible power
supply systems. The software and related data files that are maintained and
processed on the network are backed up nightly and stored off-site from the data
center. We outsource some of the data entry and programming functions.

Our communications network consists of redundant connections to the
Internet as well as private, direct connections to payers ranging from DSO's to
full T-1's. The communications network also includes expansive facilities for
analog transfer of data to and from providers. The entire network is designed to
facilitate secure, electronic, real-time communications among payers, providers
and other users, of critical and sensitive healthcare information.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

We own certain of the software and systems designs that we use and have
a limited, perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free license to use other software
and systems designs. We also license certain other software from third parties.

Our success is dependent in part upon electronic transaction processing
technology developed by us. We have not sought patents or copyright protection
for any of our software or related technology. A combination of trade secrets,
service mark and contract protection is used to establish and protect that
technology. There can be no assurance that these legal protections and the
precautions will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of technology used by
us. Furthermore, the legal protections do not prevent independent third-party
development of competitive technology.

NAME CHANGE

On December 3, 2001, ENS announced the change of its name from
Electronic Data Submission Systems Inc. to Electronic Network Systems, Inc. in
settlement of a trademark dispute. This name change and the accompanying change
in logo reflect the expansion of our healthcare and e-commerce services.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND HEALTHCARE REFORM

The healthcare industry is highly regulated and subject to changing
political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect the procurement
practices and operation of healthcare organizations. Our products are designed
to function within the structure of the healthcare financing and reimbursement
system currently being used in the United States. Changes in such systems could
result in the need for unplanned product enhancements, delays or cancellations
of orders or shipments, or the revocation of endorsement of our services by
hospital associations or

10

other customers. Any of such occurrences could have a materially adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

During the past several years, the United States of America's
healthcare industry has been subject to an increase in governmental regulation
of, among other things, reimbursement rates. Certain proposals to reform the
U.S. healthcare system are periodically considered by Congress and certain state
legislatures. These programs may contain proposals to increase governmental
involvement in healthcare or otherwise change the operating environment for our
current and potential customers. Healthcare organizations may react to these
proposals and the uncertainty surrounding such proposals by curtailing or
deferring investments, including those for our services. On the other hand,
changes in the regulatory environment have increased and may continue to
increase the needs of healthcare organizations for cost-effective information
management and thereby enhance the marketability of our services.

We cannot predict with any certainty what impact, if any, such
proposals or reforms might have on ENS' business, results of operations and
financial condition. In addition, many providers are consolidating to create
integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater regional market power. As a
result, these emerging systems could have greater bargaining power, which may
lead to price erosion of our services. The failure of ENS to maintain adequate
price levels would have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Other legislative or market-driven reforms
could have unpredictable effects on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Recent government and industry legislation and rulemaking, especially
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), industry
accreditation groups such as the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
and organized lobbies representing physician groups are requiring the use of
standard transactions, standard identifiers, security and other standards and
requirements for the transmission of certain electronic health information.
HIPAA should accelerate the number of electronic claims and related real-time
transactions, such as eligibility, verification, enrollment, etc. A section of
HIPAA, the Administrative Simplification Act, requires payers to use eight
standardized real-time transactions, including eligibility. On August 17, 2000,
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published final regulations to
govern these eight standardized real-time transactions involving health
information, which require compliance by October 16, 2002. Payers should be able
to meet these requirements by outsourcing the claims processing function to
third parties such as Health-e Network(R).

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for
assuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices under the Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act. Computer products and services are subject to regulation
when they are used or are intended to be used in the diagnosis of disease or
other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of
disease, or are intended to affect the structure or function of the body. The
FDA could determine in the future that any predictive aspects of our services
make them clinical decision tools subject to FDA regulation. Compliance with
these regulations could be burdensome, time-consuming and expensive. We also
could become subject to future legislation

11

and regulations concerning the development and marketing of healthcare software
systems. These could increase the cost and time necessary to market new services
and could affect us in other respects not presently foreseeable. We cannot
predict the effect of possible future legislation and regulation.

The confidentiality of patient records and the circumstances under
which such records may be released for inclusion in our databases are subject to
substantial regulation by state and federal governments. These state laws and
regulations govern both the disclosure and the use of confidential patient
medical record information. Although compliance with these laws and regulations
is at present principally the responsibility of the hospital, physician or other
provider, regulations governing patient confidentiality rights are evolving
rapidly. Additional legislation governing the dissemination of medical record
information has been proposed at both the state and federal level. This
legislation may require holders of such information to implement security
measures that may require substantial expenditures by ENS. There can be no
assurance that changes to state or federal laws will not materially restrict the
ability of providers to submit information from patient records using our
services.

FACILITIES

ENS' executive and corporate offices are located in Colorado
Springs, Colorado in approximately 20,000 square feet of office space under a
lease that expires June 14, 2003. ENS has a processing center in Pueblo,
Colorado that occupies approximately 11,000 square feet. ENS also maintains
offices in Cooper City, FL, Jacksonville, FL, Philadelphia, PA, Las Vegas,
NV, San Jose, CA, and Chicago, IL. We believe that our facilities are
adequate for our current operations.

EMPLOYEES

As of January 10, 2002, ENS had 221 employees, including 44 salaried
and 177 hourly employees (including temporary employees). None of these
employees is represented by a union or other collective bargaining group. ENS
believes its relationship with its employees is good.

LITIGATION

ENS is not currently party to any material litigation.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

We have sold or otherwise disposed of all our telecommunications
businesses, but we continue actively to seek acquisitions in the area. For
instance, we participated in a bid for a bankrupt competitive local exchange
carrier in December 2001. Management believes that the prices of
telecommunications businesses have only recently been reduced sufficiently to
offer again attractive opportunities. Some of our former telecommunications
operations are described below.

12

WIRELESS CABLE

In June 1997 the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary, South
Florida Television Inc., which held its rights to provide wireless cable TV
service in Miami, to BellSouth Corporation (NYSE: BLS) for 1,048,321 shares of
BellSouth common stock, based on a $48 million purchase price. We do not
currently own any wireless cable systems or channels, and, while we continue to
seek and review opportunities in this area, we have no specific agreements or
understandings to acquire any such assets.

TLC PRODUCTIONS

In April 2001, we closed our subsidiary TLC Productions, Inc. ("TLC"),
a teleport and uplink facility located in North Miami, Florida, that provided
satellite uplink services to clients who then are able to rebroadcast signals to
video programming distributors.

OTHER OPERATIONS

DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY

The Company is reviewing on a preliminary basis acquisitions of
healthcare, telecommunications and strategically linked companies.

ACQUISITIONS

The Company is actively seeking to acquire other businesses in
telecommunications, e-health, e-commerce, media and unrelated areas, but
currently has no specific agreements or arrangements to acquire any such
businesses.

ANAGRAM INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS LTD.

Anagram was organized in 1995 to engage in, among other things, the
business of acquiring television programming for distribution in the United
States and abroad. The Company invested an aggregate of $636,875 in Anagram.
Anagram wound down most of its business in 2000.

OTHER EVENTS

On January 23, 2002, we changed the Company's name from National
Wireless Holdings Inc. to NWH, Inc., reflecting its expansion as a holding
company into healthcare e-commerce and interest in acquisitions in other areas.

In August and December, 2001, we purchased additional shares of Common
Stock of ENS from a stockholder in separate transactions, one for $100,000 cash
and the other for $500,000 cash and a $200,000 contingent note, and we currently
own 91.5% of the outstanding diluted common stock of ENS.

13

Our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 20% of our
common shares because we believe, under current market conditions, the
repurchase is a favorable investment. The repurchased shares will also be
available for sale upon exercise of outstanding options. Through October 31,
2001, we repurchased 16,500 shares for an aggregate cost of $192,995, and,
through January 23, 2002, we repurchased 83,400 additional shares for an

government regulations; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or
forecast its growth; dependence on significant customers and the potential loss
thereof; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and other
factors referenced in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain of these factors

2000, primarily because assets of our satellite programming uplink facility were
fully depreciated and have not been replaced.

higher debt of ENS and miscellaneous tax charges.

ENS--RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

See Note 15 to the Financial Statements for segment information concerning ENS.

ENS - FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AS COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000:

Services Revenue:
Services revenue increased from $8,805,124 in 2000 to $12,153,746 in 2001 (or
approximately 38.0%), primarily reflecting the full implementation of all long
term contracts and increases in our customers' claim volumes.

Cost of Services:
Cost of services increased from $4,903,709 in 2000 to $6,391,866 in 2001 (or
approximately 30.3%), as a result of the full implementation of all long term
contracts. The increase was proportionately slightly lower than the increase in
services revenue in part because of implementation of our business model and
cost containment, and in part because of economies of scale.

General and Administrative:
General and administrative expense decreased from $4,449,852 in 2000 to
$4,365,607 in 2001 (or approximately 1.9%), primarily because of implementation
of our business model and cost containment, and in part because of economies of
scale.

21

Depreciation and Amortization:
Depreciation and amortization increased from $661,763 in 2000 to $1,236,287 in
2001 as a result of additional furniture, computer software and equipment
purchased for increased business levels.

Interest Expense:
Interest expense, exclusive of interest payable to NWH, increased from $73,075
in 2000 to $122,432 in 2001, due to higher debt incurred to purchase equipment
under capital lease obligations and manage operations. As of September 30, 2001,
$465,000 of interest expense was payable by ENS to the Company and is eliminated
in consolidation and computation of EBITDA.

Loss from Operations:
As a result of the foregoing events and reflecting in part more profitable
operations in ENS' fourth fiscal quarter, loss from operations decreased from
($2,164,386) in 2000 to ($1,262,667) in 2001. Because of stable expected growth
in revenue and the full implementation of our business model, including cost
containment, we believe ENS operations will be profitable in 2002.

EBITDA:

EBITDA increased from ($1,435,263) for 2000 to $60,535 for 2001 as a result of
increased revenue and, on a proportionate basis, lower costs, as discussed
above. EBITDA is the (loss) from operations before interest expense, taxes and
depreciation and amortization, as derived from segment, information in Note 15
to the Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We fund our operations with the net proceeds from our initial public
offering in 1994 of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock aggregating, after payment
of offering costs, approximately $22,000,000 and the June 1997 sale of our South
Florida wireless cable subsidiary for $48 million in BellSouth common stock. The
proceeds have been used for, and are currently reserved to fund acquisitions of,
healthcare e-commerce investments, telecommunications assets, media businesses,
development of our other businesses and development and acquisition of new
technologies and businesses in other areas. Such amount, with earnings thereon
including proceeds from sale of BellSouth common stock and related derivatives,
is expected to be sufficient to implement this business plan through October
2002, or for a shorter period if we determine to invest a substantial portion of
our assets in major acquisitions, equity investments or stock repurchases. We
actively seek to acquire or invest in healthcare e-commerce, other businesses in
telecommunications, media or in unrelated areas. We have no specific
arrangements with respect to any such acquisitions or investments at the present
time. There can be no assurance that any such acquisitions or investments will
be made.

Our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 20% of our
common shares because we believe, under current market conditions, the
repurchase is a favorable investment. The repurchased shares will also be
available for sale upon exercise of outstanding options. Through October 31,
2001, we repurchased 16,500 shares for an aggregate cost of $192,995,

22

and, through January 23, 2002, we repurchased 83,400 additional shares for an
aggregate cost of $890,016.

As of October 31, 2001, we had approximately $54 million in cash and
marketable securities, as well as our interest in ENS and other investments.

During the year ended October 31, 2001, we closed portions of our
option position in BellSouth common stock and sold shares of BellSouth common
stock. While we continue to review our position in BellSouth common stock and
from time to time have sold and purchased shares and options on the position, we
have not yet determined whether we will sell or hedge our remaining BellSouth
securities in the near future or how we will invest the proceeds of any such
sale.

In August and December, 2001, we purchased additional shares of Common
Stock of ENS from a stockholder in separate transactions, one for $100,000 cash
and the other for $500,000 cash and a $200,000 contingent note, and we currently
own 91.5% of the outstanding diluted common stock of ENS. In the year ended
October 31, 2001, we advanced an additional $425,000 to ENS, for a total
outstanding loan of $6,109,811, including accrued interest. Interest receivable
by the Company from ENS increased by $455,348 to $929,811 at October 31, 2001.
The outstanding balance under this loan agreement has been eliminated from the
balance sheet in consolidation. During 2001, the Company spent $2,138,908 on
fixed assets, including $1,307,211 for internally developed software and
$690,561 for computer equipment required for increased claims processing and the
development of Xpedite, our provider targeting and tracking system. Operating
overhead costs of ENS have increased in order to support its continued growth.
We anticipate related continued growth in revenues at ENS in the near future.

Operating overhead costs of ENS have decreased as a result of cost
cutting measures and production efficiencies gained. We anticipate further
increased revenues in the near future. The combination of these factors going
forward will improve overall profitability, allowing the Company to sustain
itself on cash flows from operations.

ENS - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

ENS' losses have been financed principally through equity investments
by the Company and loans from the Company, which loans aggregated $6,068,578
through September 30, 2001 (including accrued interest of $888,578). ENS plans
additional investment in its technology enhancements, including further
development and implementation of Xpedite, its full contact management operating
system; its Internet claims processing system; Web Enrollment, a remote Internet
based technology to enroll customers at time of sale; ECT, an Internet based
full claims tracking system; additional payer connectivity; and enhancements to
broaden the transactions processing infrastructure.

Although we believe that ENS may need to obtain additional financing to
accelerate its strategic business plan based upon existing contracts with
physicians, other providers, payers and management companies and current expense
levels, management expects ENS to continue profitable operations, established in
the third quarter of fiscal 2001, through fiscal 2002.

23

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary objective of our investment activities, other than activities
relating to ENS and potential acquisitions, is to preserve principal and
maintain adequate liquidity, while at the same time maximizing the yield we
receive from our portfolio. We also utilize derivative financial instruments in
our investment portfolio to hedge our position in BellSouth common stock and
reduce equity price risk.

Changes in prevailing interest rates will cause the yield on our investments and
the costs of derivative instruments to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we
maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents, short-term investments and
marketable securities (other than BellSouth common stock and related
derivatives) in commercial paper, non-government debt securities, money market
funds, highly liquid U.S. Treasury notes and federal agency notes and other low
risk investments. We view these high grade securities within our portfolio as
having similar market risk characteristics. The weighted-average interest rate
of the portfolio was 3.8 % at October 31, 2001.

Currently almost all our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars
and, as a result, we have experienced no significant foreign exchange gains and
losses to date. We conduct only limited transactions in foreign currencies, and
we do not anticipate that foreign exchange gains or losses will be significant
in the foreseeable future. We have not engaged in foreign currency hedging
activities to date.

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the
operations of the Company.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" and
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141, which
requires all business combinations to be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, is effective for business combinations initiated after
June 30, 2001. Under the new rules of SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible
assets that have indefinite useful lives will no longer be amortized but will
be subject to at least an annual impairment test in accordance with the
statement. Other intangible assets that have finite useful lives will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Early adoption is
permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. Upon
adoption, application of the non-amortization provisions of the statement is
expected to reduce annual amortization expense by approximately $300,000. The
Company is assessing the impact that the impairment test will have upon
adoption.

In October, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This statement
defines the accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, assets held
for sale and assets to be disposed of by other than sale and is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company

24

does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material effect on
the earnings or financial position of the Company.

Effective November 1, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Under the pronouncement,
written call options are measured at fair value on the balance sheet with
unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations.
Previously, written call options were measured at fair value on the balance
sheet, however, unrealized gains and losses were recorded in other
comprehensive income and were not recognized in the statement of operations
until settlement. The unrealized loss on written call options, which was
balanced by a rise in the market value of the underlying stock, was
approximately $4,327,000 on November 1, 2000 and was recorded as a cumulative
effect. The tax effect of this unrealized loss was $1,515,000.

Company, all requisite filings were made in 2001, except that an inadvertent
error in Mr. DiBenedetto's Section 16(a) forms was corrected in a Form 5 filing.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

On June 26, 2000, the Company amended its employment agreement with
Terrence S. Cassidy, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, to
increase his compensation to $260,000 per year, with a 15% raise after two
years, and to provide for an initial term of three years, commencing as of June
26, 2000, with automatic extensions at the end of each year for additional
one-year periods unless either party gives notice of termination prior to the
end of such year. The agreement provides that in the event of a change in
control of the Company, Mr. Cassidy may in certain circumstances terminate his
employment and receive severance benefit pay equal to three times such
executive's annual compensation, including certain bonuses, if any. Pursuant to
this agreement, Mr. Cassidy has agreed not to compete with the Company during
the term of his agreement and for a period of one year thereafter, and the
Company has agreed to indemnify him against expenses incurred in any proceeding
arising out of his employment to the maximum extent provided by law.

OPTION GRANTS AND SURRENDERS

On July 31, 2001, five of our executive officers and directors
surrendered five-year options, exercisable at an exercise price of $30.00 per
share, (except in the case of Terrence S. Cassidy, in whose case the exercise
price is $33.00) to purchase an aggregate of 130,000 shares of our Common Stock
in the following amounts:

On January 30, 2001, we granted five-year options to purchase an
aggregate of 65,000 shares of our Common Stock to five of our executive officers
and directors in the following amounts at an exercise price of $18.00 per share,
121% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. On February 27, 2001,
our Common Stock closed at $13 7/8 on the Nasdaq National Market.

30

AGGREGATED OPTION/SAR EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FY-END OPTION/SAR VALUES

Except as set forth above, we have not named particular individuals who
will receive options or rights under the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended,
we have not set the number of shares to be covered by any options or rights
granted to a single individual, and we have not set the number of individuals
who will receive grants of such options or rights. We will use the proceeds, if
any, from the sale of stock pursuant to the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan for the
general purposes of the company. In addition, our board of directors will
determine uses for proceeds from the receipt of payment in shares of Common
Stock, including redelivery of the shares received upon exercise of options.

In addition, in April 2001 each of Messrs. DiBenedetto, Lloyd, McManus
and Tese received a five-year option to purchase 2,500 shares at an exercise
price of $12.75, which equals the market value on the date the options were
granted, pursuant to our 2000 Non-Employee Directors Plan.

REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS AND RELATED MATTERS

Each member of the Board of Directors, other than an employee-director
(Mr. Cassidy is the only such employee-director), receives an annual fee of
$5,000 and $500 per meeting attended, and, in addition, he will automatically be
granted an option to purchase 2,500 shares of our Common Stock on the date of
our annual stockholder's meeting pursuant to our 2000 Non-Employee Directors
Plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
OF NWH, INC.:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index
appearing under item 14(a)(1) on page 33 present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of NWH, Inc. and its subsidiaries at October
31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2001, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1. COMPANY OPERATIONS

NWH, Inc. ("the Company") formerly known as National Wireless Holdings
Inc., a Delaware corporation organized on August 31, 1993, is an
electronic commerce and communications company focusing primarily on
acquisition and operation of telecommunications, e-commerce and other
strategically linked businesses. The Company currently owns Electronic
Network Systems, Inc. ("ENS") formerly known as Electronic Data
Submission Systems, Inc., a business-to-business healthcare e-commerce
data interchange company, providing links between healthcare providers
and payers. In addition to this business, the Company continues its
business of acquiring controlling interests in telecommunications,
healthcare and other strategically linked areas. The Company may acquire
or invest in other businesses. In June 1997, the Company sold its
wireless cable assets in Miami, Florida in exchange for common stock of
BellSouth Corporation.

In April 2001, the Company decided to exit its satellite programming
uplink operations. The effect of this decision was a net charge of
$524,645, representing the write-down of assets, included in general and
administrative expenses. The net assets remaining of approximately
$91,000 represent cash and receivables at their net recoverable amount.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation. ENS fiscal year end is September 30, and as such
elimination of intercompany transactions were made accordingly.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less. The Company routinely
invests all surplus operating funds in various money market funds. These
funds generally invest in highly liquid U.S. government and agency
obligations.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities include an investment in BellSouth Corporation
("BellSouth") common stock and government debt securities. The
marketable securities are classified as available for sale, and are
measured at fair value on the balance sheet. Investment income or loss
including realized gains and losses on investments, interest and
dividends is included in the statement of operations. Unrealized gains
and losses on investments are recorded, net of tax, as a separate
component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses on securities sold
are determined based on the specific identification method.

Effective November 1, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Under the
pronouncement, written call options are measured at fair value on the
balance sheet with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the
statement of operations. Previously, written call options were measured
at fair value on the balance sheet, however, unrealized gains and losses
were recorded in other comprehensive income and were not recognized in
the statement of operations until settlement. The unrealized loss on
written call options, which was balanced by a rise in the market value
of the underlying stock, was

F-8

NWH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

approximately $4,327,000 on November 1, 2000 and was recorded as a
cumulative effect. The tax effect of this unrealized loss was
$1,515,000.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment purchases are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the related assets, which range from 5 to 10 years. Leasehold
improvements are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided using the
straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the improvements or
the related lease term. Such depreciation and amortization is included
in depreciation and amortization in the financial statements.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net assets
of acquired companies and is being amortized on the straight-line method
over 15 years. Such amortization is included in depreciation and
amortization in the financial statements.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Based upon events or changes in circumstances, the Company assesses any
impairment in value of its long-lived assets, including intangible
assets, by making a comparison of the current and projected operating
cash flows of each of its assets over its remaining useful life, on an
undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the related assets. Such
carrying amounts would be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect any
impairment in value.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivable. The Company holds no collateral for accounts
receivable. Cash is placed into high credit worthy financial
institutions. Concentration of risks with respect to receivables is
mitigated based on the number of customers and ongoing credit
evaluations of existing customers.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash equivalents comprise money market funds whose carrying amounts
approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the
instruments.

Marketable securities are reflected at fair value on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2001.

Long-term debt relates principally to equipment lease obligations and a
note payable to a related party. Interest rates on the debt approximate
the rates available at October 31, 2001 and the Company believes that
their carrying value of debt at October 31, 2001 approximates fair
value.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Service revenue is recognized as earned in the period the services are
provided. Service revenue for ENS (see Note 3) includes revenue
associated with electronic transactions to and from physicians, hospital
networks and health insurance carriers and installation revenue.
Installation revenue is recognized over a twelve month period
corresponding with the term of the service contract.

F-9

NWH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company had two customers that made up 30% and 12% of service
revenues and 18% and 9% of trade and other receivables as of October 31,
2001, respectively. The Company had two customers that made up 16% and
14% of service revenues and 7% and 23% of trade and other receivables as
of October 31, 2000, respectively. The Company had one customer that
made up 12% of service revenues and 5% of trade and other receivables,
as of October 31, 1999.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between
the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." This statement encourages, but does not require,
companies to adopt a fair value based method for determining expense
related to stock-based compensation. The Company continues to account
for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method as
prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. The Company
has included pro forma information as if the fair value-based method had
been applied.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting weighted
average number of common shares outstanding assuming conversion of all
potentially dilutive stock options.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".
SFAS No. 141, which requires all business combinations to be accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting, is effective for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Under the new rules of SFAS
No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful
lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to at least an
annual impairment test in accordance with the statement. Other
intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be
amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. Early adoption is permitted
for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. Upon
adoption, application of the non-amortization

F-10

NWH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provisions of the statement is expected to reduce annual amortization
expense by approximately $300,000. The Company is assessing the
impact that the impairment test will have upon adoption.

In October, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets". This statement defines the accounting for long-lived assets to
be held and used, assets held for sale and assets to be disposed of by
other than sale and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
pronouncement to have a material effect on the earnings or financial
position of the Company.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to fiscal
2001 presentation.

3. ENS

In 1996, the Company acquired a controlling interest in ENS and, by July
1998, the Company increased its interest in ENS from 50% to 58% of the
outstanding common stock and, with additional voting rights, 82% control
of ENS, all for an aggregate investment of $3,837,420 (including
$1,749,920 paid to a stockholder). In July 1999, the Company purchased
from a stockholder an additional 6,4% of the common stock for $513,450.
In a capital call on October 20, 2000, the Company purchased from ENS
$1,000,000 of common stock, which when combined with its existing share
ownership represented 80% of the outstanding common stock and, with
additional voting rights, 97% control of ENS. In August 2001, the
Company purchased an additional 2.8% of the common stock of ENS for
$513,450 from a stockholder.

The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and the results of operations from the date of purchase have
been reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. The purchase
price in excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed has been allocated principally to intangible assets (goodwill)
and is being amortized over 15 years.

On December 7, 2001, the Company acquired 1,774,333 shares of the voting
common stock of ENS from a stockholder for $500,000 in cash and $200,000
in the form of a contingent note. This increases the Company's ownership
to 91.5% of the outstanding common stock (assuming conversion of its
preferred stock), and with additional voting rights, 98.5% control of
ENS.

During fiscal 2001, the Company advanced an additional $425,000 under
its amended loan agreement with ENS. The Company had outstanding loans
to ENS of $6,109,811 and $5,168,855, including accrued interest, as of
October 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

ENS has incurred operating losses of $8,590,822 on a cumulative basis
through September 30, 2001. The Company has committed to support the
operations of ENS through September 30, 2003.

4. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities consist of the following:

Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of October 31, 2001
and 2000 are the fair value of covered call options written on BellSouth
common stock of $2,397,791 and $8,520,468 reflecting contracts for
430,000 and 580,000 shares with a weighted average price of $5.58 and
$14.69 and exercise ranges of November 16, 2001 to December 21, 2001 and
November 17, 2000 to February 16, 2001, respectively. Short sales of
BellSouth common stock are also reflected in such accounts as of October
31, 2001 and 2000 at a fair value of $3,700,000 and $4,831,250,
representing 100,000 shares each year, respectively.

On February 26, 1997, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
entered into an agreement with BellSouth whereby a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company was exchanged for Bell South common stock. The
transaction amounted to $48,000,000 and was treated as a tax-free
reorganization. The BellSouth common stock is reflected as available for
sale marketable securities.

5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

6. LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company's long-term debt is comprised of capital lease obligations
of $518,844 with interest rates ranging from 6.0% to 18.9%, expiring
through 2005 and a term loan of $94,182 with interest of 4.85% expiring
in March 2004. The term loan is collateralized by other assets held
by the Company. Included in property and equipment, net, are assets

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of October 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the deferred income tax liability
relates primarily to marketable securities received from BellSouth
comprising the gain not yet recognized for income tax purposes and the
unrealized gain on such securities since the sale (Note 1).

NWH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During fiscal 2000, the Company completed a tax examination by the
Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years 1995 through 1997. Such
examination resulted in no material adjustments and the Company reversed
tax liabilities in 1999 of approximately $391,000 recorded in prior
years for possible adjustments from such examination.

Reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the
Company's effective tax rate is as follows:

8. CAPITAL STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Serial Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share with dividend and liquidation
preferences over the common stock. Stockholders of the Company have the
right to purchase Serial Preferred Stock upon certain changes in the
Company's ownership.

The Company acquired 16,500 shares at its common stock for $192,995
under a plan that permits the acquisition of up to 20% of the Company's
stock. Subsequent to October 31, 2001, the Company acquired an
additional 81,400 shares of its common stock for $865,944.

9. LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases administrative facilities and office equipment under
operating leases that expire between 2001 and 2006. Certain of the
leases contain escalation clauses providing for increased rentals based
on operating expenses or the consumer price index. Rent expense, net of
rental income, under operating leases was approximately $750,000,
$604,000 and $395,000 for the years ended October 31, 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively.

F-14

NWH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Future annual minimum rental payments as of October 31, 2001 under
noncancellable operating leases for the next five years are as follows:

10. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

On June 26, 2000, the Company amended its employment agreement with
Terrence S. Cassidy, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, to increase his compensation to $260,000 per year, with a 15%
raise after two years, and to provide for an initial term of three
years, commencing as of June 26, 2000, with automatic extensions at the
end of each year for additional one-year periods unless either party
gives notice of termination prior to the end of such year.

11. STOCK OPTION PLANS

The 1993 Stock Option Plans, as amended, and the 1997 Equity Incentive
Plan (collectively, the "Plans") have participants which include key
employees (including officers), directors, advisors, and independent
consultants to the Company or to any of its subsidiaries. The Company
has issued 80,000 shares and reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for
options under the 1993 and 1997 Plans, respectively. Options granted to
employees may be designated as incentive stock options ("ISO's") or
non-qualified stock options ("NQSO's"), as defined by the Internal
Revenue Service. Options granted to independent consultants and other
non-employees may only be designated NQSO's.

The exercise price of options granted under the Plans may not be less
than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
grant. Generally, options will be exercisable for a term that will not
exceed ten years from the date of grant.

During 2001 and 2000, the Company granted 65,000 and 130,000 options
under the Plans. These options have a five year life and vest ratably
over three years beginning the grant date. In July 2001, 130,000 of the
options granted in 2000 were surrendered. In June 2000, 50,000 of the
options granted in 1997 expired.

In March 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Director Option Plan
covering an aggregate of up to 70,000 shares of Common Stock, pursuant

Information with respect to shares under option is summarized below:

The remaining weighted average contractual life of options outstanding
at October 31, 2001 was 2.75 years.

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized
with regard to options granted under the Plan in the accompanying
financial statements. If stock-based compensation costs had been
recognized based on the estimated fair values at the dates of grant for
options awarded, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would
have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

These pro forma adjustments to net income and net income per common
share assume fair values of each option grant estimated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The more significant assumptions
underlying the determination of such fair value for options granted
include: (i) weighted average risk-free interest rates of 3.6%; (ii)
weighted average expected option life of 5 years; (iii) an expected
volatility of 40%, and (iv) an expected dividend yield of 0%. The per
share weighted average fair value at the dates of grant for options
awarded was $5.10 and the weighted average exercise price was $17.20.
