Authentidate Holding Corp. Announces Fiscal 2007 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J.
Sept 13, 2007

Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a worldwide provider of software and web-based services that enable enterprises and individuals to exchange information securely and conduct trusted business transactions, today announced financial results for the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Suren Pai, Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate, stated, "During fiscal 2007 we took several steps to sharpen our strategic business focus and realign our operations. We continued to invest in developing our Inscrybe(TM) platform which brings together an integrated platform of capabilities to enable the trusted exchange of content via fax and over the web, and using this platform we launched Inscrybe(TM) Healthcare to target the needs of the healthcare sector. We sold our non-core Document Management Solutions and Systems Integration businesses and recently signed a new agreement with the United States Postal Service(R) (USPS) to continue as a provider of the USPS Electronic Postmark(R) (EPM). Our operating unit in Germany continued to grow acceptance for its electronic invoicing product and made a successful entry into the German healthcare market with its security technology offerings."

"In August 2007, we launched Inscrybe(TM) Office, an innovative application that brings the capabilities of our Inscrybe platform to a broader audience. We believe that Inscrybe Office addresses an unmet need in the marketplace for an easily accessible application that enables the trusted exchange of electronic documents and other content."

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 56% to $1,320,000 compared to $848,000 for the same period last year. These results reflect increases in transaction volumes and new customers in both our U.S. and German operations.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was $3,575,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5,921,000, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The net loss for the 2007 period includes income from discontinued operations, including gain on disposal, of $922,000 for the quarter compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $131,000 for the comparable period in 2006.

Revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $4,998,000 compared to $4,493,000 for 2006, which includes approximately $623,000 related to the amortization of deferred revenue and other one-time revenue. Excluding these one-time items from the prior year's results, revenue increased approximately 29% for fiscal 2007.

Net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was $15,063,000, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $17,823,000, or $0.52 per diluted share, for 2006. The net loss for fiscal 2007 includes income from discontinued operations, including gain on disposal, of $1,055,000 for the period compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $388,000 for 2006. The net loss for 2007 reflects continued product development investments related to Inscrybe Healthcare and Inscrybe Office as well as litigation expenses for completed and on-going actions of approximately $2,400,000, or $0.07 per diluted share. The net loss for the prior year period includes incremental legal expenses of approximately $1,150,000 and accrued severance of approximately $670,000, or $0.05 per diluted share.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company's cash and marketable securities totaled $31,631,000, and total deferred revenue totaled $1,370,000.

Commenting on these results, Mr. Pai stated, "Revenue from our continuing operations increased almost 30 percent, driven by our new Inscrybe Healthcare application and the growth of our German operations. We are pleased with the early results of our sales and marketing efforts for Inscrybe Healthcare and the initial feedback from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive, as they realize increased productivity and lower costs in managing orders and revenue cycle workflows."

"We are entering fiscal 2008 with a fresh outlook on our business, improving market traction and leading applications in both the U.S. and Europe. Since most of our applications in the U.S. were launched in fiscal 2007, our main focus moving forward is to continue to build a strong customer base and to become the recognized leader for the trusted exchange of electronic content."
