AUTHENTIDATE HOLDING CORP. REPORTS FISCAL 2011 FOURTH QUARTER

AND YEAR END RESULTS

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ - October 13, 2011 — Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a provider of secure web-based software applications and telehealth products and services for healthcare organizations, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2011.

Selected highlights for fiscal year 2011 include:

 

   

Selected by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as one of six approved suppliers for its Telehealth Program, already one of the largest in the world. As an approved VA supplier, VA facilities throughout the country will be able to utilize our Electronic House CallTM (EHC) and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) products and services to remotely monitor patients and enhance patient care.

 

   

Added several new projects for our Inscrybe® Healthcare referral and order management solution and our ExpressMD Electronic House Call telehealth solution, including University of Utah, Medical Plus Supplies, Ameri-Quipt of NC, Superior Oxygen & Medical Equipment, 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 fiscal year periods compared to the same periods last year and reduced the loss from continuing operations for the current year periods.

 

   

Appointed O’Connell (Ben) Benjamin as Chief Executive Officer.

 

   

Settled the shareholder class action suit.

 

   

Completed the sale of certain non-core assets for net proceeds of approximately $2.35 million, a private placement of the company’s securities for net proceeds of approximately $4.46 million and the sale of our German subsidiary for net proceeds of approximately $1.30 million.

Ben Benjamin, Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate, stated, “Fiscal 2011 was a year of significant accomplishments for Authentidate, including our selection as a provider of telehealth solutions for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the addition of a number of new customers for our healthcare solutions and the sale of our German subsidiary which will enable us to focus all of our resources on opportunities for growth in the healthcare marketplace. We believe that the contract award from the VA has positioned us well for growth in the telehealth space and has provided additional market awareness for our telehealth products and services as well as our hospital discharge and referral and order management solutions. Although we are disappointed by the pace of our revenue growth during fiscal 2011, we believe we have continued to make progress with each of our core service offerings as demonstrated by these new contract awards and the increasing market awareness of what we offer to the healthcare marketplace. We are in the process of building out the infrastructure to support the VA and continue to experience increased customer interest in our solutions as healthcare providers search for ways to manage administrative and patient care costs. In addition, we are seeing an increase in customer inquiries about combining our solutions to help meet the emerging need for hospitals and other healthcare providers to coordinate care for their patients. All of our solutions are well suited for these tasks and offer the necessary tools to help reduce healthcare costs and enhance patient care. We are monitoring a number of opportunities in our marketplace and will update shareholders as they develop.”

Mr. Benjamin concluded, “Although we continue to operate in a very challenging economic environment, we improved our operating results from continuing operations for the quarter and the fiscal year periods as revenues increased and we continued to manage our operating costs as the markets for our products and services continue to develop. In October we strengthened our balance sheet with net proceeds of approximately $3.64 million from a registered direct offering of our common stock and warrants. We expect to use these funds to support operations, including the rollout of our telehealth and hospital discharge products and services. We continue to believe that our core telehealth, hospital discharge and referral and order management solutions offer significant opportunities for future revenue growth and that we are well positioned to benefit from government healthcare reforms and market trends to reduce healthcare costs, shorten hospital stays, reduce hospital readmissions and increase preventative care and care coordination for patients.”

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from continuing operations were approximately $708,000 compared to $659,000 for the same period last year. These results reflect an increase in transaction volumes and growth from new customer projects. Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 were flat compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

The loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $1,940,000, or $0.05 per share, compared to $1,983,000, or $0.05 per share, for the prior year period. The decrease in the loss from continuing operations for the quarter is due primarily to higher revenues and lower expenses from our cost management activities. Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was approximately $2,062,000, or $0.05 per share, compared to $1,805,000, or $0.05 per share, for the prior year period. The net loss for the quarter includes a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $122,000 compared to income from discontinued operations of approximately $178,000 for the prior year quarter.

Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2011 from continuing operations were approximately $2,795,000 compared to $2,419,000 for the same period last year. These results reflect the same trends as the fourth quarter.

The loss from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $6,786,000, or $0.16 per share, compared to $9,047,000, or $0.25 per share, for the prior year. The decrease in the loss from continuing operations for the year is due primarily to higher revenues, lower expenses from our cost management activities and a gain of approximately $351,000 on the sale of certain non-core assets. Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $12,555,000, or $0.29 per share, compared to $9,005,000, or $0.25 per share, for the prior year. The net loss for the current year includes a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $5,769,000, or $0.13 per share, including a non-cash loss on disposal of $5,405,000, compared to income from discontinued operations of approximately $42,000 for the prior year.

As of June 30, 2011, the company’s cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled approximately $2,424,000, working capital for continuing operations was approximately $4,939,000 and deferred revenue was approximately $232,000.
