Authentidate Holding Corp. Announces Second Quarter and Six Month Results

SCHENECTADY, N.Y.
Feb 8, 2005

Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT) announced today that revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased 18% to $4,761,727 from $4,029,068 for the quarter ended December 31, 2003. Revenue for the six-month period ending December 31, 2004, increased 15% to $8,424,125 from $7,300,291 for the same six-month period a year ago. The Company noted that deferred revenue increased to over $2.3 million from $1.9 million at June 30, 2004.

The Company stated that the increase in revenue for the quarter and the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 was largely attributable to its Authentidate segment. The Authentidate segment increased more than $720,000 for the quarter and more than $1.1 million for the six-month period, an increase of 186% over the same year ago periods. The Authentidate segment includes the Company's USPS Electronic Postmark (EPM) division, its homecare solutions division (TracMed) and its German division (Authentidate International AG).

The net loss for the second quarter ended December 31, 2004 was $4,920,116, or $0.15 per share, compared to a net loss of $7,823,689, or $0.23 per share, for the same quarter a year ago. The Company reported a net loss of $7,826,205, or $0.23 per share, and $9,523,708, or $0.43 per share, for the respective six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

While the Company noted that Selling, General and Administrative costs increased during the quarter, it attributed this increase to costs and staffing associated with the build out of the Company's EPM and homecare solutions business.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $3,036,768, or $0.09 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and $5,942,307, or $0.18 per share, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The Company said that the difference between the non-GAAP net loss and the GAAP net loss was attributable to costs associated with non-recurring expense items, including severance and consulting expenses.

"These results illustrate that we are experiencing revenue traction, particularly in our Authentidate business segment," stated Authentidate CEO Suren Pai. "We are investing in building strong capabilities to address some exciting market opportunities ahead of us. While there is still a lot of work to be done we are making steady progress towards identifying and executing against opportunities to apply our core USPS electronic postmarking technology."

In analyzing its financial results the Company has used non-GAAP pro forma financial measures because it believes that they provide meaningful information regarding the Company's operational performance that excludes certain unusual and non-recurring expenses, as described in the footnotes to the following reconciliation. They also facilitate management's internal comparisons to historical operating results.

Wherever non-GAAP disclosures are included in this press release the Company has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating results to GAAP operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and therefore the non-GAAP results should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The footnotes to the non-GAAP reconciliation should be read in conjunction with the reconciliation below.
