AUTHENTIDATE HOLDING CORP. REPORTS FISCAL 2011 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ – May 12, 2011 – Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a provider of secure health information exchange, workflow management services and telehealth solutions, today announced financial results for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011.

Selected highlights for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 include:

 

   

Added several new projects for Inscrybe® Healthcare and ExpressMD’s Electronic House Call™ telehealth solution, including Kennedy Health System, Ritecare Medical Products, Visiting Nursing Association of Western New York, Chicago VNA, Inc., Lehigh Valley Respiratory Care, Primary Wound Care and a telehealth distribution agreement with Rotech Healthcare Inc. that have been announced.

 

   

Increased revenues for the quarter and nine month periods over the same periods last year and reduced the loss from continuing operations for the current year periods.

 

   

Announced a settlement agreement that, if final approval is granted by the court, resolves the shareholder class action suit.

 

   

Strengthened our balance sheet with the sale of certain non-core assets in July 2010 for net proceeds of approximately $2.35 million and the private placement of the company’s securities in October 2010 for net proceeds of approximately $4.46 million.

Other highlights that have been announced subsequent to March 31, 2011 include the sale of our German subsidiary, a significant contract award for our telehealth products and services from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and new Inscrybe Healthcare projects for Ameri-Quipt of NC, Superior Oxygen & Medical Supplies and Medical Plus Supplies.

Ben Benjamin, Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate, stated, “During the third quarter we made continued progress with each of our core offerings and announced several key events subsequent to the quarter end that demonstrate that we are well positioned for growth with our Inscrybe Healthcare, telehealth, and hospital discharge solutions. Many of these developments, both during the quarter and subsequent to the quarter end, support our vision of providing innovative healthcare technology to enable better care coordination for patients. Our new opportunity with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) was a tremendous success for our company and shareholders alike. Our desire and passion for delivering superior products and services to our veterans has kept us extremely focused over the last few quarters and our efforts have paid off. While this contract is a major coup for our company, our work is not complete and we are building out the infrastructure to meet the demands of the VA.”

“Further, I should also mention the recent wins for our Inscrybe Healthcare solutions, which continue to meet the needs of healthcare providers interested in reducing costs and automating a variety of important workflow processes. We continue to experience increased customer inquiries for our solutions and have been successful in adding a number of new customer projects. We believe that we are making a positive impact in awareness for all of our solutions given these new projects and the rise in inquiries received in recent months.”

Mr. Benjamin concluded, “Authentidate has undergone a number of changes during our fiscal year to date which have enabled us to fund the company as the markets for our products and services continue to develop and to focus the company on the future growth opportunities in these markets. During this time, we have successfully managed expenses and shed non-essential assets and divisions to help finance our operations. We are very excited about the prospects that lie ahead for Authentidate, and believe the company is well positioned for the future.”


Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from continuing operations were approximately $709,000 compared to $610,000 for the same period last year. These results reflect an increase of approximately 16% in revenues due to increases in transaction volumes and new customer projects. Compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011, revenues increased approximately 2% reflecting the same trends.

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was approximately $1,621,000, or $0.04 per share, compared to $2,268,000, or $0.06 per share, for the prior year period. The decrease in the net loss for the period reflects higher revenues and lower expenses from our cost management activities. The net loss for 2011 includes income from discontinued operations of approximately $80,000 compared to a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $132,000 for the prior year period.

Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 from continuing operations were approximately $2,087,000 compared to $1,760,000 for the same period last year. These results reflect the same trends as the third quarter.

Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $10,493,000, or $0.25 per share, compared to $7,200,000, or $0.20 per share, for the prior year period. The net loss for the current period includes a loss from discontinued operations of $5,647,000, or $0.13 per share, including a non-cash loss on disposal of $5,283,000, compared to a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $136,000 for the prior year period. The company initially recorded the estimated loss on disposal in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as a goodwill impairment charge. The loss from continuing operations for the current period was approximately $4,846,000, or $0.12 per share, compared to $7,064,000, or $0.20 per share, for the prior year period, reflecting the same trends as the third quarter.

As of March 31, 2011, the company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $2,513,000, working capital for continuing operations was approximately $5,626,000 and deferred revenue was approximately $307,000. Additionally, in April we completed the sale of our German subsidiary and received net proceeds of approximately $1,300,000 from the transaction.
