Wilshire Enterprises, Inc. Announces Lawsuit; Allegations Without Merit

    NEWARK, N.J., Aug. 11 /EMWNews/ -- Wilshire Enterprises,

Inc. ("Wilshire" or the "Company") (Amex: WOC) announced that a purported

class action complaint has been filed in connection with the proposed

merger of the Company with a wholly owned subsidiary of NWJ Apartment

Holdings Corp., an affiliate of NWJ Companies, Inc., a privately owned real

estate development company. The complaint alleges, among other things, that

the merger consideration is unfair and that the Company's definitive proxy

materials were deficient in certain respects. It seeks preliminary and

permanent injunctive relief, money damages, attorney's fees and costs. The

Company regards the allegations in the complaint as completely without

merit, and intends to vigorously defend the action.
