Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Authentidate Holding Corp. (AHC) and its subsidiaries and joint venture (collectively, the “company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and the attached Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

2. Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Net loss	$	(2,095	)	$	(3,119	)	$	(7,095	)	$	(13,178	)
Preferred stock dividends		(17	)		(18	)		(52	)		(53	)

Net loss applicable to common shareholders	$	(2,112	)	$	(3,137	)	$	(7,147	)	$	(13,231	)


Weighted average shares		34,685			34,494			34,642			34,469


Basic and diluted loss per common share	$	(0.06	)	$	(0.09	)	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.38	)

All potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share for the periods presented because their impact is antidilutive. At March 31, 2009, employee and non-executive director options (3,720,000), warrants (150,000), performance based consultant options (375,000) and convertible preferred stock (500,000) were outstanding. At March 31, 2008, employee and non-executive director options (4,845,000), warrants (473,000), performance based consultant options (375,000) and convertible preferred stock (500,000) were outstanding.

3. Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation by category is as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
SG&A expenses	$	59	$	228	$	352	$	708
Product development expenses		—		40		33		100
Cost of revenues		1		2		5		2

Share-based compensation expense	$	60	$	270	$	390	$	810

The company computed the estimated fair values of all share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions set forth in the following table. The company based its estimate of the life of these options on historical averages over the past five years and estimates of expected future behavior. The expected volatility was based on the company’s historical stock volatility and historical stock volatility of comparable companies in the industry for the fiscal year ending 2008. The assumptions used in the company’s Black-Scholes calculations for fiscal 2009 and 2008 are as follows:


	Risk Free Interest Rate		Dividend Yield		Volatility Factor		Weighted Average Option Life (Months)
Fiscal year 2009	3.2	%	0	%	66	%	48
Fiscal year 2008	4.5	%	0	%	74	%	48

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of share-based compensation for employee stock options. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation as circumstances change and additional data becomes available over time, which may result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies. Such changes could materially impact the company’s fair value determination.

Stock option activity under the Employees and Non-Executive Directors Stock Option Plans (the “Plans”) for the period ended March 31, 2009 is as follows (in thousands, except per share and average life data):


Employees Plan	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, June 30, 2008	3,807		$	3.87		$	—

Granted	98			0.62
Expired/forfeited	(655	)		3.36

Outstanding, March 31, 2009	3,250			3.87	5.02	$	—


Exercisable at March 31, 2009	2,816		$	4.30	4.46


Expected to vest at March 31, 2009	352		$	1.11	8.71	$	—

Authentidate Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


Non-Executive Director Plan	Number of Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, June 30, 2008	410	$	3.93
Granted	60		0.58

Outstanding, March 31, 2009	470	$	3.50	5.70	$	—

Non-executive director options are granted at market price and vest on the grant date.

As of March 31, 2009, there was $198,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plans. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 19 months.

There were no options exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $0.32 and $0.69, respectively. These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The total fair value of options vested was $352,000 and $530,000 for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

During fiscal 2006 the company issued 375,000 stock options to an independent consultant, exercisable at $3.25 per share. These options do not vest until the consultant realizes at least $1.0 million in sales of the company’s products; therefore no expense has been recorded as no sales have been realized through March 31, 2009. These options are not included in the disclosures above. These options expire at the later of seven years from the grant date or five years from the vesting date.

Effective January 17, 2007, the Board of Directors amended the terms of existing stock options previously granted to the company’s current employees whereby such options expire ten years from the original grant date. The incremental share-based compensation expense related to this change is being amortized as the related options vest.

On January 17, 2007, the shareholders approved several amendments to the 2001 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan whereby non-executive director stock options expire ten years from the original date of grant, non-executive directors will have up to two years to exercise their options after leaving the board and may elect to receive up to 50% of their cash director compensation in restricted common stock of the company issued at fair value in accordance with the terms of the Plan. For the nine months ending March 31, 2009, the company issued 200,629 shares of restricted common stock (valued at approximately $69,900) to certain non-executive directors in connection with this program. In May 2009, the company issued 27,814 shares of restricted common stock (valued at approximately $11,126) to such directors under the program.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

5. Marketable Securities

At March 31, 2009 our marketable securities consisted primarily of money market investments. We classify our investments as “available for sale” and they have been recorded at cost which approximates fair market value due to their variable interest rates. As a result, we had no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains (losses) or gross realized gains (losses) from our investments through March 31, 2009. All income generated from these investments is recorded as interest income.

6. Note Receivable and Assets Held for Sale

In June 2007, the company completed the sale of its Document Management Solutions and Systems Integration businesses to Astria Solutions Group, LLC (“Astria”). In connection with the sale, Astria also entered into a seven-year lease for a portion of the building owned by the company in Schenectady, New York where the acquired businesses are located. Under the terms of the lease, Astria has elected to pay all taxes and operating costs for the land and building and rent and additional rent of approximately $186,000 per year for the term of lease. Based on the company’s intention to dispose of these assets in the next year, the carrying value of the land and building is classified as assets held for sale for all periods presented. In fiscal 2008 we listed the property for sale and adjusted our carrying value to the property’s estimated market value less estimated cost to sell.

The note received in connection with the sale is secured by the assets of the acquired businesses and is subordinated to the interests of the senior creditor and mezzanine lender to Astria as set forth in an intercreditor and subordination agreement among the company, Astria, and the senior creditor and mezzanine lender. The note provides for monthly interest payments through May 2010, principal (based on a 15-year amortization) and interest payments thereafter through April 2014 and a final payment of the balance in May 2014. Based on the subordination, the extended collection period and other factors, the company has no reasonable basis for estimating the degree of collectibility of the note. Accordingly, the company is using the guidance under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 103—Topic 5U“Gain Recognition on Sale of a Business or Operating Assets to a Highly Leveraged Entity” for the note and will recognize the additional gain, if any, on the sale of the businesses as management determines either that the debtor’s cash flows from operations are sufficient to repay the note or actual collections are received.

7. Segment Information

FAS 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,requires certain financial and supplementary information to be disclosed about operating segments of an enterprise. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our President.

The company operates in one reportable segment in the United States and Germany. In the United States the business is engaged in the development and sale of secure Health Information Exchange and workflow management services. The company’s software and web-based services enable healthcare organizations and other enterprises to increase revenues, improve productivity and reduce costs by eliminating paper and manual work steps from clinical, administrative and other processes and enhancing compliance with regulatory requirements. The web-based services are delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) to customers. These solutions incorporate rules-based electronic forms, intelligent routing, transaction management, electronic signatures, identity credentialing, content authentication and automated audit trails. Both web and fax based communications are integrated into automated and trusted workflow solutions. In the United States we offer our proprietary content authentication technology in the form of the USPS Electronic Postmark^® (EPM). In Germany the business is engaged in the development and sale of software applications that provide electronic signature and time stamping capabilities for a variety of corporate processes including electronic billing and archiving solutions. Our web-based services and software applications are compliant with applicable digital signature rules and guidelines.

Revenues from external customers include revenues from our German operations of approximately $1,195,000 and $3,115,000 for three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 and $1,059,000 and $2,740,000 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008, respectively. Our German operations had assets of approximately $1,327,000 and $955,000 at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

8. Joint Venture

In June 2008 we formed a joint venture with EncounterCare Solutions, Inc., called ExpressMD™ Solutions to provide in-home patient vital signs monitoring systems and services. Express MD Solutions combines EncounterCare’s Electronic House Call™ patient vital signs monitoring appliances with a specially designed web-based management and monitoring software module based on Authentidate’s Inscrybe™ Healthcare platform. The service enables unattended measurements of patients’ vital signs and related health information and is designed to aid wellness and preventative care, and deliver better care to specific patient segments such as the elderly, special needs or pediatric patients with chronic illnesses who require regular monitoring of serious medical conditions. Using ExpressMD Solution’s offerings, health care providers will be able to easily view each specific patient’s vital statistics and make adjustments to the patient’s care plan via the Internet. The service will provide intelligent routing to alert on-duty caregivers whenever a patient’s vital signs are outside of the practitioner’s pre-set ranges. Health care providers and health insurers are also expected to benefit by having additional tools to improve patient care and reduce overall in-person and emergency room patient visits. In April 2009, the joint venture announced that it had received 510(k) market clearance from the FDA for the monitoring appliance and plans to move forward with its manufacturing and sales plans.

The company and EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. each own fifty percent of the joint venture and neither party has any special rights under the joint venture agreement. At March 31, 2009, ExpressMD Solutions did not have any assets or liabilities and EncounterCare Solutions, Inc. does not have any recourse to our general credit. ExpressMD Solutions is consolidated in our financial statements because we are currently electing to provide the majority of funding for the joint venture and are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. For the three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 we made advances of approximately $89,000 and $324,000, respectively, to the joint venture to cover development and operating expenses. Although we expect to recover these advances as the joint venture generates revenues, there can be no assurance that such amounts will be recovered. Therefore, these amounts have been expensed as incurred and charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, we may decide to advance additional amounts to further joint venture activities.

9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill at the end of the fiscal year. Any adverse development or change in our business during the year would require an interim assessment. Due to the current economic events in the banking industry and stock markets for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 the company reviewed its impairment analysis and concluded that the carrying amount of goodwill has not changed. Approximately $7,291,000 of goodwill relates to our business in Germany.

Other intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value

The company amortizes other intangible assets under the straight line method. Amortization expense was approximately $42,000 and $128,000 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2009, respectively. Amortization expense for the next five fiscal years and thereafter is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, no stock options or common stock warrants were exercised.

11. Preferred Stock

The company has the right to repurchase the outstanding Series B preferred stock at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The holder of such shares has the right to convert shares of preferred stock into an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $1.40 per share. In the event the company elects to redeem these securities, the holder will be able to exercise its conversion right subsequent to the date that we issue a notice of redemption but prior to the deemed redemption date as would be set forth in such notice. The Series B preferred stock was originally issued in a private financing in October 1999 and the conversion and redemption features were amended in October 2002 to provide for the rights and obligations described in this note. At March 31, 2009, the company has accrued dividends in the amount of $17,500 which remain unpaid.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Between June and August 2005, six purported shareholder class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against our company and certain of its current and former directors and former officers. Plaintiffs in those actions alleged that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities law claims were based on the allegations that we failed to disclose that our August 2002 agreement with the USPS contained certain performance metrics, and that the USPS could cancel the agreement if we did not meet these metrics; that we did not disclose complete and accurate information as to our performance under, and efforts to renegotiate, the USPS agreement; and that when we did disclose that the USPS might cancel the agreement, the market price of our stock declined. On October 5, 2005 the Court consolidated the class actions under the captionIn re Authentidate Holding Corp. Securities Litigation., C.A. No. 05 Civ. 5323 (LTS), and appointed the Illinois State Board of Investment as lead plaintiff under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The plaintiff filed an amended consolidated complaint on January 3, 2006, which asserted the same claims as the prior complaints and also alleged that Authentidate violated the federal securities laws by misrepresenting that it possessed certain patentable technology. On July 14, 2006, the Court dismissed the amended complaint in its entirety; certain claims were dismissed with prejudice and plaintiff was given leave to replead those claims which were not dismissed with prejudice. In August 2006, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which did not assert any claims relating to the company’s patents or under the Securities Act of 1933, but which otherwise was substantially similar to the prior complaint. The second amended complaint sought unspecified monetary damages. The company moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on November 13, 2006. On March 26, 2009, the company reported that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed with prejudice the shareholder class actions filed against us and certain of our current and former directors and former officers. This decision does not directly affect the derivative actions filed against the company as discussed below. On April 24, 2009, the lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the decision of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

In addition to the class action complaints, four purported shareholder derivative actions were filed against certain current and former directors and former officers of the company in June and July 2005 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. These federal court derivative actions were based on substantially the same events and factual allegations as the original class action complaints and asserted claims that Authentidate was injured by an alleged breach of fiduciary duty, waste, mismanagement, violations of Sarbanes-Oxley, and misappropriation of inside information. The derivative complaints sought, among other things, damages, equitable relief, restitution, and payment of costs and expenses incurred in the litigation (including legal fees). Plaintiffs in the derivative actions entered into a Court-approved stipulation providing for the consolidation of their actions and the selection of Maxine Philips as the lead plaintiff. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on November 14, 2005, which defendants moved to dismiss on January 13, 2006 on the ground that plaintiffs had not made a proper demand on the Board of Directors. On March 20, 2006, before the motion to dismiss was decided, plaintiffs in the federal court derivative action voluntarily dismissed their complaint without prejudice. On April 6, 2006, the court held a hearing to confirm, among other things, that plaintiffs had not received any payment or other consideration for the dismissal of their claims. At the hearing plaintiffs agreed to file a motion seeking court approval for the dismissal. Plaintiffs filed this motion on April 18, 2006 and the court entered an order dismissing the consolidated complaint on May 5, 2006. Subsequently, on May 25, 2006, the plaintiffs sent a letter to the Board of Directors demanding that it file a derivative suit on behalf of the company which asserts the same claims as the complaint which plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed only weeks earlier.

On December 13, 2005, a purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the Supreme Court of New York, Schenectady County, entitledElkin v. Goldman et al., No. 2005-2240. Plaintiff in that action demanded that our Board of Directors file a derivative action on behalf of the company against nine of its current and former directors and former officers. The complaint asserts the same claims that are alleged in the first federal court derivative actions. The Board of Directors, following a recommendation from a committee of the Board composed of outside, non-employee directors who were advised by independent outside counsel, concluded that commencing litigation, as demanded by Elkin, is not in the company’s best interest.

We are engaged in no other litigation which would be anticipated to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have employment agreements with our President, Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officer of our German subsidiary that specify the executive’s current compensation, benefits and perquisites, the executive’s entitlements upon termination of employment, and other employment rights and responsibilities.

We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract.

Authentidate Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we are not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.

13. Income Taxes

In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the company has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and income tax expense, respectively. The company continues to fully recognize its tax benefits which are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty that the deferred tax assets will be realized. We will continue to evaluate the realizability of our domestic net deferred tax assets and may record additional benefits in future earnings if we determine the realization of these assets is more likely than not.

14. Other Income

Other income consists of the following (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Interest income	$	68	$	304	$	316	$	1,175
Rental income		45		45		135		135

Total other income	$	113	$	349	$	451	$	1,310

15. Accounting Standards Adopted in Fiscal 2009

In September 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 157,“Fair Value Measurements”. FAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, that amended FAS No. 157 to delay the effective date of FAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. On July 1, 2008, the company adopted FAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities. The statement utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows:

•

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs.

The company’s assets subject to fair value measurements as of March 31, 2009 are as follows (in thousands):


	Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy
	Fair value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Cash and cash equivalents	$	730	$	730	$	—	$	—
Restricted cash		512		512		—		—
Current marketable securities—available for sale		8,443		8,443		—		—
Assets held for sale		2,000		—		—		2,000

Total	$	11,685	$	9,685	$	—	$	2,000

Authentidate Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The reconciliation of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows (in thousands):


	Level 3 Investments
Balance at June 30, 2008	$	12,325
Proceeds from sale of auction rate securities		(10,825	)
Unrealized gains recorded to other comprehensive income		500
Losses deemed to be other than temporary recorded in earnings		—

Balance at March 31, 2009	$	2,000

At March 31, 2009, the company has approximately $2.0 million of non-financial assets held for sale that are valued using level 3 inputs. The company does not have any financial liabilities. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, no gains or losses resulting from the fair value measurement of financial assets were included in the company’s earnings. The adoption of FAS No. 157 has not impacted the company’s results of operations and financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 159,“The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. FAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. FAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The company has elected not to measure any eligible items at fair value. Accordingly, the adoption of FAS No. 159 has not impacted the company’s results of operations and financial position.

16. Merger

In August 2008, Authentidate entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the membership interests of Parascript LLC and certain of its subsidiaries for up to $10 million in cash, 30 million shares of New Authentidate common stock, all of the shares of its German subsidiary Authentidate International AG, a 10%, five year junior unsecured note in the aggregate principal amount of $20 million, subject to adjustments, and contingent consideration based on the financial performance of a newly formed business unit to exploit certain markets for Parascript’s image analysis and pattern recognition technology. The definitive merger agreement provided for a break-up fee of up to $3 million under certain circumstances described in the agreement. The agreement also provided that either party may terminate the agreement if the proposed transaction was not consummated by December 31, 2008.

As originally structured, the closing of the merger would have used substantially all of the company’s cash and marketable securities. Therefore, following the merger the combined company would have been dependent on cash flows from operations, the net working capital of Parascript on the closing date, and Parascript’s existing line of credit to meet its future cash needs. Parascript’s line of credit expires annually in April. Historically, Parascript has been able to obtain a renewal of the line of credit on commercially reasonable terms. However, in light of the uncertainty in the credit markets and changes in Parascript’s business, the board of directors of the company was considering various proposals to change the structure of the proposed merger. The parties were unable to reach an agreement on a modified merger proposal and did not execute an amendment to the merger agreement. On January 21, 2009 the company received a notice of termination from Parascript. In connection with the termination of the merger agreement, we have written-off deferred deal expenses of approximately $900,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including information set forth under Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). We desire to avail ourselves of certain “safe harbor” provisions of the Act and are therefore including this special note to enable us to do so. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q or hereafter included in other publicly available documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to our stockholders and other publicly available statements issued or released by us involving known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause our actual results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements to differ from the future results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such future results are based upon our management’s best estimates based upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations. These risks include, but are not limited to risks associated with the market acceptance of our software and services, competition, pricing, technological changes, implementation of our business plan, related decisions by the USPS, and other risks as discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in particular our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008, all of which risk factors could adversely affect our business and the accuracy of the forward-looking statements contained herein.

Overview

Authentidate Holding Corp. (Authentidate or the company) is a worldwide provider of secure Health Information Exchange and workflow management services. Authentidate and its subsidiaries provide software applications and web-based services that address a variety of business needs for our customers, including enabling healthcare organizations and other enterprises to increase revenues, improve productivity and reduce costs by eliminating paper and manual work steps from clinical, administrative and other processes and enhancing compliance with regulatory requirements. Our web-based services are delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) to our customers and incorporate security technologies such as rules based electronic forms, intelligent routing, transaction management, electronic signatures, identity credentialing, content authentication, automated audit trails and web and fax-based communication capabilities to electronically facilitate secure and trusted workflow solutions. Authentidate currently operates its business in the United States and Germany with technology and service offerings that address emerging growth opportunities based on the regulatory and legal requirements specific to each market. In the United States the business is engaged in the development and sale of web-based services largely based on our Inscrybe™ platform and related capabilities and telehealth services through our ExpressMD™ Solutions joint venture. In the United States, we offer our patent pending content authentication technology in the form of the United States Postal Service^® Electronic Postmark^® (EPM). In Germany the business is engaged in the development and sale of software applications that provide electronic signature and time stamping capabilities for a variety of corporate processes including electronic billing and archiving solutions and security technology offerings. Our web-based services and software applications are compliant with applicable digital signature rules and guidelines. We sell our web-based services and software applications through a direct sales effort and reseller arrangements.

For a number of years, we have experienced net losses and negative cash flow from operating activities. Our principal activities during this period have focused on developing new products and services, hiring management, refining our business strategies and repositioning our businesses for growth. Although we believe we are well positioned for such growth, we expect to continue to generate net losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we expand our operations. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

During fiscal 2009 we have continued to take steps to refine our strategic focus, complete our core service offerings, significantly expand our addressable markets, reduce operating costs and position the company for long-term growth. In the United States we have continued to invest in our Inscrybe™ platform with particular emphasis on refining and marketing Inscrybe Healthcare™, an automated and trusted Health Information Exchange and workflow management service targeting the needs of enterprises in the healthcare market. We believe our business will benefit from trends in the US healthcare industry to significantly reduce costs, shorten the length of hospital stays, shift patient care towards wellness and preventative care programs and automate healthcare records and processes. As discussed below we have taken steps to focus our business in these areas, however, our progress will be impacted by the timing of customer contracts and implementations and the market acceptance of our services. Over this same period our business unit in Germany continued to grow acceptance for its electronic invoicing product, and focused on further penetrating the German healthcare market with its security technology offerings.

In June 2008 we formed a joint venture with EncounterCare Solutions, Inc., a provider of technology and services for the home healthcare marketplace. The joint venture called ExpressMD™ Solutions will provide in-home patient vital signs monitoring systems and services to improve care for patients with chronic illnesses and reduce the cost of care by delivering results to their health care providers via the Internet. ExpressMD Solutions combines EncounterCare’s Electronic House Call™ patient vital signs monitoring

appliances with a specially designed web-based management and monitoring software module based on Authentidate’s Inscrybe™ Healthcare platform. The service enables unattended measurements of patients’ vital signs and related health information. Patients’ data is securely sent electronically to each patient’s health care provider for review. ExpressMD Solutions is designed to aid wellness and preventative care, and deliver better care to specific patient segments such as the elderly, special needs or pediatric patients with chronic illnesses who require regular monitoring of serious medical conditions. Using ExpressMD Solution’s offerings, health care providers will be able to easily view each specific patient’s vital statistics and make adjustments to the patient’s care plans via the Internet. ExpressMD Solution’s easy to use patient monitoring system is intended to provide patients with increased peace of mind and improved condition outcomes through a combination of care plan schedule reminders and comprehensive disease management education on their in-home communication unit. The service will provide intelligent routing to alert on-duty caregivers whenever a patient’s vital signs are outside of the practitioner’s pre-set ranges. Health care providers and health insurers are also expected to benefit by having additional tools to improve patient care, and reduce overall in-person and emergency room patient visits.

During fiscal 2009 we have advanced the development of our ExpressMD telehealth service offering and continued to refine the capabilities of our patient vital signs monitoring appliance. We have also identified sources for the materials needed to manufacture the monitoring appliances, completed testing for the appliances and arranged for the production of the appliances with a contract manufacturer. In April 2009 we announced that we had received 510(k) market clearance from the FDA for the monitoring appliance and plan to move forward with our manufacturing and sales plans.

In August 2008, Authentidate entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the membership interests of Parascript LLC and certain of its subsidiaries. The agreement provided that either party may terminate the agreement if the proposed transaction was not consummated by December 31, 2008. As originally structured, the closing of the merger would have used substantially all of the company’s cash and marketable securities. Therefore, following the merger the combined company would have been dependent on cash flows from operations, the net working capital of Parascript on the closing date, and Parascript’s existing line of credit to meet its future cash needs. Parascript’s line of credit expires annually in April. In light of the uncertainty in the credit markets and changes in Parascript’s business, the board of directors of the company was considering various proposals to change the structure of the proposed merger. The parties were unable to reach an agreement on a modified merger proposal and did not execute an amendment to the merger agreement. On January 21, 2009 the company received a notice of termination from Parascript.

We intend to continue our efforts to develop and market our software applications and web-based services in the United States and European markets. We also intend to focus on identifying additional applications and markets where our technology can address customer needs.

Our revenues consist principally of transaction fees for web-based services, software license fees, hosting fees and maintenance charges. Growth in our business is affected by a number of factors, including general economic and business conditions, and is characterized by long sales cycles. The timing of customer contracts, implementations and ramp-up to full utilization can have a significant impact on results and we believe our results over a longer period of time provide better visibility into our performance.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates, which include judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on a regular basis and make changes accordingly. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected.

A critical accounting estimate is based on judgments and assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in accounting estimates could materially impact our financial statements. We believe that the policies described below represent our critical accounting policies, as they have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. However, you should also review ourSummary of Significant Accounting Policiesbeginning on page F-7 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, software development costs, patent costs, trademarks and licenses are reviewed for impairment using an undiscounted cash flow approach whenever events or changes in circumstances such as significant changes in the business climate, changes in product offerings, or other circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Software Development Costs

Software development and modification costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized based on anticipated revenue for the related product with an annual minimum charge equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining economic life of the related products (generally three years). Amortization expense is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

Goodwill

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events such as significant changes in the business climate, changes in product offerings, or other circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test at the end of each fiscal year using a discounted cash flow approach.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived from transaction fees for web-based services, software licenses, maintenance arrangements, hosting services, Electronic Postmark (EPM) sales and post contract customer support services. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed and collectibility is reasonably assured. Multiple-element arrangements are assessed to determine whether they can be separated into more than one unit of accounting. A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met: the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand alone basis; there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items in the arrangement; if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered items, and delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in our control. If these criteria are not met, then revenue is deferred until such criteria are met or until the period over which the last undelivered element is delivered, which is typically the life of the contract agreement. If these criteria are met, we allocate total revenue among the elements based on the sales price of each element when sold separately which is referred to as vendor specific objective evidence or VSOE.

Revenue from web-based services, EPM sales and post contract customer support services is recognized when the related service is provided and, when required, accepted by the customer. Software license revenue is recognized when the criteria discussed above is met. Maintenance and hosting services revenue is recognized over the period in which the service is performed. Revenue from multiple element arrangements that cannot be allocated to identifiable items is recognized ratably over the contract term which is generally one year.

Management Estimates

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Examples include estimates of loss contingencies and product life cycles, assumptions such as elements comprising a software arrangement, including the distinction between upgrades/enhancements and new products; when technological feasibility is achieved for our products; the potential outcome of future tax consequences; and determining when investment or other impairments exist. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We make estimates on the future recoverability of capitalized goodwill which is highly dependent on the future success of marketing and sales, we record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when we believe it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized and we make assumptions in connection with the calculations of share-based compensation expense. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and we evaluate our estimates on a regular basis and make changes accordingly. Historically, our estimates relative to our critical accounting estimates have not differed materially from actual results; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions. If actual results differ from these estimates and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated statement of operations, and in certain situations, could have a material adverse effect on liquidity and our financial condition.

Stock-Based Compensation

We apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, “Share Based Payment”(FAS 123R) to account for employee and director stock option plans. Share-based employee compensation expense is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which values options based on the stock price at the grant date, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility, expected dividend payments and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the options.


	Risk Free Interest Rate		Dividend Yield		Volatility Factor		Weighted Average Option Life (Months)
Fiscal year 2009	3.2	%	0	%	66	%	48
Fiscal year 2008	4.5	%	0	%	74	%	48

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk, we place our investments with several high credit quality financial institutions and typically invest in AA or better rated investments. Our credit customers are not concentrated in any specific industry or business. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

Three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to three and nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Revenues were $2,015,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $1,683,000 for the prior year period. These results reflect an increase of approximately 31% in US revenues and 13% in German revenues from increases in transaction volumes and new customers. Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 were approximately $5,309,000 compared to $4,392,000 for the prior year. These results reflect increases of approximately 33% in US revenues and 14% in German revenues from increases in transaction volumes and new customers.

Cost of revenues increased to $915,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $623,000 for the prior year period. This increase is due primarily to higher license, maintenance and data center expenses as well as additional software and hardware expenses for certain projects. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased to $2,261,000 compared to $1,614,000 for the prior year reflecting the same trends as the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased to $2,511,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $3,475,000 for the same period in 2008. This decrease is due primarily to our cost management activities and lower share-based compensation expense offset in part by joint venture investments of approximately $89,000 for the quarter. The prior year amount includes incremental expenses for professional services of approximately $137,000 and accrued severance expense of approximately $355,000. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased to $8,284,000 compared to $13,721,000 for the prior year due primarily to our cost management activities and lower share based compensation expense offset in part by joint venture investments of approximately $324,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and the write-off of deferred deal expenses of approximately $900,000 related to the termination of the Parascript deal. The prior year period includes incremental legal expenses and settlements of approximately $2,300,000 and professional services and accrued severance of approximately $438,000 and $1,132,000, respectively.

Product development expenses decreased to $380,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $623,000 for the comparable period in 2008. Product development spending fluctuates period to period based on the amounts capitalized. Total spending for the quarter, including capitalized amounts, was $483,000 compared to $769,000 for the prior year reflecting cost management activities offset in part by the use of contract employees for certain projects. Product development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 were $1,189,000 compared to $2,317,000 for the prior year. Total spending for the period, including capitalized amounts, was $1,633,000 compared to $2,958,000 for the same period in 2008 reflecting the same trends as the quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $417,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $430,000 for the prior year period. For the nine month period depreciation and amortization expense was $1,121,000 compared to $1,228,000 for the prior year period.

Other income decreased to $113,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $349,000 for the prior year period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 interest and other income was $451,000 compared to $1,310,000 for the prior year. The decrease in interest and other income is due primarily to lower interest rates and lower cash and investment balances during the current periods as we continue to invest in our business.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $2,095,000, or $0.06 per share, compared to $3,119,000, or $0.09 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 net loss was $7,095,000, or $0.21 per share, compared to $13,178,000, or $0.38 per share for the prior year. The decrease in the net loss for the current periods reflects the revenue growth, cost management activities and other matters discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our operations and product development activities have required substantial capital investment to date. Our primary sources of funds have been the issuance of equity and the incurrence of third party debt. In February 2004, we sold 5,360,370 common shares in private placements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506, promulgated there under. We realized gross proceeds of approximately $73,700,000 from these transactions and received net proceeds of approximately $69,100,000 after payment of offering expenses and broker commissions. We have been using the cash raised in this financing to fund our operations and product development activities since that time.

Expenditures for equipment and other assets totaled approximately $22,000, software license expenditures totaled approximately $11,000 and capitalized software development expenditures totaled approximately $444,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. We have developed and intend to continue to develop new services and applications to grow our business and address new markets.

Cash Flows

At March 31, 2009, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, amounted to approximately $9,173,000 and total assets at that date were $25,475,000. After adjusting for the change in the gross unrealized holding loss, these amounts have decreased since June 30, 2008 by approximately $6,145,000 and $6,576,000, respectively, as we utilized cash principally to fund operating losses, product development activities, joint venture investments, changes in working capital and capital expenditures during the period ended March 31, 2009. Cash used for the period also includes expenditures of approximately $564,000 for deferred deal costs and related items, $20,000 for the final payment of accrued severance obligations and $148,000 to purchase 547,000 shares of the company’s common stock which were retired as of March 31, 2009. We expect to continue to use cash to fund operating losses, product development activities and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Net cash used by operating activities was $5,384,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $12,112,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This change reflects our working capital and expense management activities during 2009 and lower expenditures for incremental items discussed above.

Net cash used by investing activities, excluding purchases and sales of marketable securities, was $625,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $1,241,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease is due primarily to decreases in equipment expenditures and product development spending capitalized in fiscal 2009 and lower spending for software licenses offset in part by the purchase of company stock discussed above.

Cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were not significant.

To date we have been largely dependent on our ability to sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities to obtain financing to fund our operating deficits, product development activities and capital expenditures. Under our current operating plan to grow our business, our ability to improve operating cash flow has been highly dependent on the market acceptance of our offerings. Based on the improvements in operating results as discussed above and the reductions in cash used during fiscal 2009, we believe we have enough cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to support our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned. The amount of capital that we will need in the future will depend on many factors, including:

•

our relationships with suppliers and customers;

•

the market acceptance of our software and services;

•

the levels of promotion and advertising that will be required to launch our new offerings and achieve and maintain a competitive position in the marketplace;

•

price discounts on our software and services to our customers;

•

our pursuit of strategic transactions;

•

our business, product, capital expenditure and research and development plans and product and technology roadmaps;

•

the level of accounts receivable that we maintain;

•

capital improvements to new and existing facilities;

•

technological advances; and

•

our competitors’ response to our offerings.

Financing Activities

We have not engaged in any external financing activities in fiscal 2009 and 2008.

Other Matters

The events and contingencies described below have impacted or may impact our liquidity and capital resources.

Presently, 28,000 shares of our Series B preferred stock, originally issued in a private financing in October 1999, remain outstanding. As of October 1, 2004, our right to redeem these shares of Series B preferred stock is vested. Accordingly, we have the right to repurchase such shares at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The holder, however, has the right to convert these shares of preferred stock into an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $1.40. In the event we elect to redeem these securities, the holder will be able to exercise its conversion right subsequent to the date that we issue a notice of redemption but prior to the deemed redemption date as would be set forth in such notice. As of March 31, 2009, no shares of the Series B preferred stock have been redeemed.

Between June and August 2005, several purported shareholder class and derivative actions were filed against our company and certain current and former directors and former officers. The complaints and current status of these actions are described in detail under the caption “Legal Proceedings,” appearing in Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As described in such section, on March 26, 2009, we reported that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed with prejudice the pending shareholder class actions filed against us and certain of our current and former directors and former officers. On April 24, 2009, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the decision of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Commitments

Office Lease Commitments

We entered into the lease agreement for our executive offices on July 11, 2005. The lease is for a term of ten years and four months, with a commencement date of October 1, 2005 and covers approximately 19,700 total rentable square feet. The annual rent in the first year was $324,000 increasing to $512,000 in year 2 and increasing at regular intervals until year 10 when the annual rent will be approximately $561,000. The lease also provides us with a one-time option to renew the lease for a term of five years at the then-current market rate. We also have an option to terminate the lease five years and four months after the commencement date upon 12 months prior notice to the Landlord. If we exercise this option, we would be required to pay an early termination fee of approximately $568,000. As part of the lease agreement, we posted a letter of credit securing our lease payments of approximately $512,000.

The offices of our subsidiary Authentidate International, AG are located at Rethelstraße 47, D-40237 Düsseldorf. We lease approximately 1,052 square meters at an annual rent of approximately 200,000 Euros, pursuant to a lease agreement dated December 28, 2007. The lease is for a term of five years and two months commencing on May 1, 2008 and provides us with options to renew the lease for two additional five year terms at the then-current market rate.

Severance and Other Commitments

On November 26, 2007, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. O’Connell Benjamin to the office of President, effective immediately. Mr. Benjamin’s appointment filled one of the positions formerly held by Mr. Suren Pai, who ceased serving as our President and Chief Executive Officer as of such date. Pursuant to the employment agreement we had with Mr. Pai, in connection with the cessation of his employment with us, Mr. Pai was entitled to: (a) all compensation accrued but not paid as of the termination date; (b) a severance payment equal to the sum of (i) 12 months of the greater of (A) his base salary in effect on the termination date and (B) the highest base salary in effect at any time during the ninety (90) day period to the date of termination; and (ii) an additional severance payment of $187,500; and (c) continued participation in our benefit plans through the end of the month of the one-year anniversary of the termination of his employment. In addition, pursuant to his employment agreement, the options we granted Mr. Pai under such employment agreement which vested as of the date of termination, plus 200,000 options, are deemed vested and exercisable for two years from the date of termination. The full cost of this arrangement was accrued during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and paid in full by June 30, 2008.

Contractual Commitments

A summary of the contractual commitments associated with our lease obligations as of March 31, 2009 is as follows (in thousands):


	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		More than 5 years
Total operating leases	$	5,064	$	917	$	2,214	$	1,465	$	468

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital resources. We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2009, we were not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The impact of general inflation on our operations has not been significant to date and we believe inflation will continue to have an insignificant impact on us.

Present Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

FAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities as to which the date is fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard for nonfinancial assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”which affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction; clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active; eliminates the proposed presumption that all transactions are distressed (not orderly) unless proven otherwise; includes an example that provides additional explanation on estimating fair value when the market activity for an asset has declined significantly; and requires an entity to disclose a change in valuation technique (and the related inputs) resulting from the application of the FAS 157-4 and to quantify its effects, if practicable. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No.141 (Revised 2007),“Business Combination”. Under FAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. FAS 141R also changed the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including: acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; non controlling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” which amends and clarifies FAS 141R to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated or if fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, in accordance with FAS No. 5,“Accounting for Contingencies” and FASB Interpretation No. 14,“Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss”; remove the subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from FAS 141R, and carry forward without significant revision the guidance in FASB No. 141,“Business Combinations”; eliminate the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date; and require that contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be treated as contingent consideration of the acquirer and should be initially and subsequently measured at fair value in accordance with Statement 141R. FAS 141R and FAS 141R-1 apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008; and early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 160,“Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51”. FAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. FAS No.160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. FAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. FAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2007, the FASB ratified the EITF’s Consensus for Issue No. 07-1,“Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements”which defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. EITF 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Standards”. FAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. This standard became effective November 15, 2008 and had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”which changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities; replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis; incorporates examples of factors from existing literature that should be considered in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired; requires that an entity recognize noncredit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities in other comprehensive income and amortize that amount over the remaining life of the security in a prospective manner by offsetting the recorded value of the asset unless the security is subsequently sold or there are additional credit losses; and requires an entity to present the total other-than-temporary impairment in the statement of earnings with an offset for the amount recognized in other comprehensive income. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” which amends FASB No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information, and APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under this standard, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. In addition, an entity shall disclose in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We have approximately $8,443,000, at par value, invested in high quality investments as of March 31, 2009. We are not exposed to significant financial market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are only minimally impacted by changes in interest rates. However, in the future, we may enter into transactions denominated in non-US currencies or increase the level of our borrowings, which could increase our exposure to these market risks. We have not used, and currently do not contemplate using, any derivative financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

At any time, fluctuations in interest rates could affect interest earnings on our cash and marketable securities. We believe that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would not be material. Currently, we do not hedge these interest rate exposures. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.

At March 31, 2009, our unrestricted cash and marketable securities, totaled $9,173,000 of which approximately $8,443,000 was invested in money market investments. The remainder of our cash was in non-interest bearing checking accounts used to pay operating expenses and commercial paper. For more information on these investments see Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our President and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Our management, however, believes our disclosure controls and procedures are in fact effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

Between June and August 2005, six purported shareholder class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against our company and certain of our current and former directors and former officers. Plaintiffs in those actions alleged that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities law claims were based on the allegations that we failed to disclose that our August 2002 agreement with the USPS contained certain performance metrics, and that the USPS could cancel the agreement if we did not meet these metrics; that we did not disclose complete and accurate information as to our performance under, and efforts to renegotiate, the USPS agreement; and that when we did disclose that the USPS might cancel the agreement, the market price of our stock declined. On October 5, 2005 the Court consolidated the class actions under the captionIn re Authentidate Holding Corp. Securities Litigation., C.A. No. 05 Civ. 5323 (LTS), and appointed the Illinois State Board of Investment as lead plaintiff under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The plaintiff filed an amended consolidated complaint on January 3, 2006, which asserted the same claims as the prior complaints and also alleged that Authentidate violated the federal securities laws by misrepresenting that it possessed certain patentable technology. On July 14, 2006, the Court dismissed the amended complaint in its entirety; certain claims were dismissed with prejudice and plaintiff was given leave to replead those claims which were not dismissed with prejudice. In August 2006, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which did not assert any claims relating to the company’s patents or under the Securities Act of 1933, but which otherwise was substantially similar to the prior complaint. The second amended complaint sought unspecified monetary damages. The company moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on November 13, 2006. On March 26, 2009, the company reported that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed with prejudice the shareholder class actions filed against us and certain of our current and former directors and former officers. This decision does not directly affect the derivative actions filed against the company as discussed below. On April 24, 2009, the lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the decision of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

In addition, we are subject to other claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management considers that any liability from any reasonably foreseeable disposition of such other claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

As provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we wish to caution shareholders and investors that the following important factors, among others discussed throughout this Report on Form 10-Q and a restated description of the risk factors associated with our business is set forth below. This description includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of following risk factors and the other information included in this report, in considering our business herein as well as the information included in other reports and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the matters or events described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Risks Related to Our Business

Failure to increase our revenue and keep our expenses consistent with revenues could prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability.

We incurred net losses of approximately $15,811,000, $15,063,000 and $17,823,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively and a net loss of approximately $7,095,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. We have expended, and will continue to be required to expend, substantial funds to pursue product development projects, enhance our marketing and sales efforts and to otherwise operate our business. Therefore, we will need to generate higher revenues to achieve and maintain profitability and cannot assure you that we will be profitable in any future period. Our prospects should be considered in light of the difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business line, which characterizes our business, such as the difficulty in creating a viable market, the significant related development and marketing costs and the overall competitive environment in which we operate. This risk may be more acute in light of our disposition of our other operating segments. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations in future operating periods. For the remainder of fiscal 2009, our business results are likely to remain uncertain as we are unable to reliably predict revenues from our current customers or our ability to derive revenues from our joint venture. Revenue levels achieved from our customers, the mix of products and solutions that we offer, our ability to introduce new products as planned and our ability to reduce and manage our operating expenses will affect our financial results. Consequently, we cannot assure you that we will be profitable in any future period.

Our capital requirements are significant and we have historically financed our operations through private placements of securities.

Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. We have been substantially dependent upon private placements of our securities and on short-term and long-term loans from lending institutions to fund such requirements. We are expending significant amounts of capital to develop, promote and market our software and services, such as our Inscrybe Healthcare platform and related modules and our Inscrybe Office offering. Due to these expenditures, we have incurred significant losses to date. We used approximately $14,903,000, $14,852,000 and $13,743,000 in cash for continuing operating activities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $5,384,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Our available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, net of gross unrealized holding loss, as of March 31, 2009 totaled approximately $9,173,000. We expect the proceeds received from our February 2004 private financing, in which we raised approximately $69,100,000 in net proceeds, and cash generated from operations and asset sales, to satisfy our cash needs at least the next twelve months. No assurances can be given that we will be able to attain sales levels and support our costs through revenues derived from operations. If we are unable to attain projected revenue levels for our business, it may be necessary to raise additional capital to fund operations and to meet our obligations in the future. Our future capital requirements will depend on, and could increase substantially as a result of many factors, including:

•

Our need to utilize a significant amount of cash to support research and development activities and to make incremental investments in our organization;

•

our ability to achieve targeted gross profit margins and cost reduction objectives;

•

our ability to reach break-even or profitability;

•

the extent to which we consolidate our facilities and relocate employees and assets;

•

the success of our sales and marketing efforts;

•

the extent and terms of any development, marketing or other arrangements, including our joint venture relationship; and

•

changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions, including the current financial crisis.

Our revenues may be affected by changes in technology spending levels.

In the past, unfavorable or uncertain macroeconomic conditions and reduced global technology spending rates have adversely affected the markets in which we operate. The current recession could reduce the demand for our products and negatively impact revenues and operating profit. We are unable to predict changes in general macroeconomic conditions and when global spending rates will be affected. Furthermore, even if spending rates increase, we cannot be certain that the market for our products and solutions will be positively impacted. If there are future reductions in either domestic or international spending rates, or if spending rates do not increase, our revenues, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Recent turmoil in the credit markets and the financial services industry may negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Recently, the credit markets and the financial services industry have been experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States federal government. While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, they may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition if our ability to obtain financing for operations or obtain credit from trade creditors were to be impaired. In addition, the recent economic crisis could also adversely impact our customers’ ability to finance the purchase of our products and solutions, which may negatively impact our business and results of operations.

If the United States Postal Service cancels our new license agreement, we may need to incur additional costs in our efforts to successfully commercialize this technology.

In July 2007, we entered into a new three-year license agreement with the U.S. Postal Service® (USPS) to act as a non-exclusive authorized service provider of the USPS Electronic Postmark® (EPM). Pursuant to this license agreement, the USPS granted the company a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use its applicable trademarks and other intellectual property rights for the EPM service in order to enable us to offer the EPM service directly to the market. The USPS will define and maintain the technical and operational standards for the EPM service, and serve as backup verifier for all EPM transactions. Authentidate is the first provider to be authorized in a new standards-based EPM service model created by the USPS to help ensure performance standards and facilitate the development of a multi-provider environment. We have operated the EPM service on behalf of the USPS since March 2003, under a strategic alliance agreement that expired on July 31, 2007.

This license agreement is effective as of August 1, 2007 and will expire in three years unless it is sooner terminated in accordance with its terms. Either party may terminate the agreement upon written notice if the other party is in material breach of any provision thereof, subject to applicable cure periods. In addition, either party may terminate this agreement for any reason, upon 120 days notice to the other party. No assurances can be given that the USPS will not terminate this agreement which termination could adversely affect our ability to commercialize this technology.

The USPS will also have the right to terminate the license agreement upon written notice in connection with a change in control transaction affecting Authentidate. In accordance with the terms of the license agreement, Authentidate is required to provide prior written notice to the USPS of any merger, acquisition, restructuring, change of control, sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Authentidate to which the USPS agreement relates, or an assignment to an affiliate, parent or subsidiary. Although such transactions do not require the approval or consent of USPS, USPS has the right, exercisable within 20 days from its receipt of Authentidate’s notice, to terminate the license Agreement.

On December 20, 2006, the President signed into law PL 109-435. This statute defines as “postal services” essentially the carriage of paper and printed matter, but grandfathers other services that were being offered by the USPS as of January 1, 2006, which we believed would include the EPM. However, the legislation further directed the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) to review non-postal services within two years to determine whether they should continue taking into account “the public need for the service” and “the ability of the private sector to meet the public need for the service.” In December 2008, the PRC determined that the USPS was authorized to continue the EPM as a “non-postal service.”

We depend on growth in the software as a service market, and lack of growth or contraction in this market could materially adversely affect our sales and financial condition.

Our software and internet solutions compete with other “software as a service” solutions. Demand for our solutions and software offerings is driven by several factors, including an increased focus on protecting business-critical applications, government and industry regulations requiring data protection and integrity, and the growth in the market for software as a service. Segments of the computer and software industry have in the past experienced significant economic downturns and decreases in demand as a result of changing market factors. A change in the market factors that are driving demand for offerings of software as a service could adversely affect our sales, profitability and financial condition.

We depend on third parties for the manufacture and distribution of our telehealth appliance, which may result in delays and quality-control issues.

We do not own or lease any manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, in order to market our telehealth solution, ExpressMD Solutions purchases finished appliances from an unaffiliated supplier. In addition, our joint venture entity has engaged an unaffiliated third party to provide distribution services for this solution. If the agreements with these third parties are terminated or if they do not perform their obligations under such agreements, it could take several months to establish and qualify alternative manufacturing and distribution partners for our products and we may not be able to fulfill our customers’ orders in a timely manner. We believe that at the present time, that in the event our existing third party relationships terminate, that alternative providers are available on commercially reasonable terms. However, there can be no assurance that the future production capacity of our current manufacturer will be sufficient to satisfy our requirements or that alternative providers of manufacturing or distribution services will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The failure to identify a suitable alternative manufacturers or distributors could adversely impact our customer relationships and our financial condition. In addition, due to our use of third-party manufacturers and distributors, we do not have control over the timing of product shipments. Delays in shipment could result in the deferral or cancellation of purchases of our products, which would harm our results of operations in any particular quarter. Net revenue for a period may be lower than predicted if large orders forecasted for that period are delayed or are not realized, which could impact cash flow or result in a decline in our stock price.

We have been named as a party to several class action and derivative action lawsuits, and we may be named in additional litigation, all of which could require significant management time and attention and result in significant legal expenses. An unfavorable outcome in one or more of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

As described in detail at Item 1. “Legal Proceedings” of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, several purported class action complaints were filed in federal court alleging our company and certain of our current and former directors and former officers violated the federal securities laws. Subsequently, four purported shareholder derivative actions were filed against certain of our current and former directors and former officers based on allegations substantially similar to those set forth in the purported class actions. The expense of defending such litigation may be substantial and the time required to defend the actions could divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, an unfavorable outcome in such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows. As previously reported in March 2009, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed with prejudice shareholder class actions filed against the company and certain current and former directors and former officers. This decision does not directly affect the derivative actions filed against the company. On April 24, 2009, the lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the decision of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Our success is dependent on the performance of our management and the cooperation, performance and retention of our executive officers and key employees.

Our business and operations are substantially dependent on the performance of our senior management team and executive officers. If our management team is unable to perform it may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. The loss of one or several key employees could seriously harm our business. Any reorganization or reduction in the size of our employee base could harm our ability to attract and retain other valuable employees critical to the success of our business.

If we lose key personnel or fail to integrate replacement personnel successfully, our ability to manage our business could be impaired.

Our future success depends upon the continued service of our key management, technical, sales, finance, and other critical personnel. Other than our President, CFO and the President of our German operation, our key personnel do not have employment agreements and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain them. Key personnel have left our company in the past and there likely will be additional departures of key personnel from time to time in the future. The loss of any key employee could result in significant disruptions to our operations, including adversely affecting the timeliness of product releases, the successful implementation and completion of company initiatives, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, and the results of our operations. In addition, hiring, training, and successfully integrating replacement sales and other personnel could be time consuming, may cause additional disruptions to our operations, and may be unsuccessful, which could negatively impact future revenues.

Our reported financial results could be adversely affected by changes in financial accounting standards or by the application of existing or future accounting standards to our business as it evolves. For example, accounting for employee stock options under FAS 123R has had a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share.

As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the review of accounting policies by the SEC and national and international accounting standards bodies, the frequency of accounting policy changes may accelerate. For example, the adoption of FAS123(R) in fiscal 2006 required us to adopt a different method of determining and accounting for the compensation expense of our employee stock options. As a result of the adoption of FAS 123(R), our losses during fiscal 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were higher than they would have been had we not been required to adopt FAS 123(R). This will continue to be the case for future periods. This and other possible changes to accounting standards, could adversely affect our reported results of operations. Further, accounting policies affecting software revenue recognition have been the subject of frequent interpretations, which could significantly affect the way we account for revenue related to our products. As we enhance, expand and diversify our business and product offerings, the application of existing or future financial accounting standards, particularly those relating to the way we account for revenue, could have a significant adverse effect on our reported results although not necessarily on our cash flows.

If the carrying value of our long-lived assets is not recoverable, an impairment loss must be recognized which would adversely affect our financial results.

We evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill, acquired product rights, and other intangible assets, whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate that these assets might be impaired. Goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment at the end of each fiscal year, regardless of events and circumstances. In fiscal 2005 we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $4,800,000 for goodwill and other long-term intangible assets. As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately $7,341,000 of goodwill principally from our acquisition of our German subsidiary, Authentidate International, AG. We will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, and we may incur substantial impairment charges, which could adversely affect our financial results.

We have incurred significant additional costs concerning our international operations and may incur additional costs in the future.

We have incurred substantial costs in supporting the operation of our German subsidiary, Authentidate International, AG. In June 2008, we renewed for one-year our employment agreement with Mr. Jan Wendenburg, the CEO of Authentidate International, pursuant to which he received a base salary of approximately, 210,000 Euros. Further, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we advanced or made capital investments of approximately $4,227,000 to this subsidiary. We cannot provide any assurance that we will recoup any of these amounts from this subsidiary. We expect to incur additional costs in the future in connection with the operations of this subsidiary.

Developing and implementing new or updated software and services and other product offerings may take longer and cost more than expected.

We rely on a combination of internal development, strategic relationships, licensing and acquisitions to develop our software and services. The cost of developing new software, services and other product offerings, such as Inscrybe Healthcare and related modules and Inscrybe Office, is inherently difficult to estimate. Our development and implementation of proposed software, services or other product offerings may take longer than originally expected, require more testing than originally anticipated and require the acquisition of additional personnel and other resources. If we are unable to develop new or updated software, services or other product offerings on a timely basis and implement them without significant disruptions to the existing systems and processes of our customers, we may lose potential revenues and harm our relationships with current or potential customers.

New or updated software, services and product offerings will not become profitable unless they achieve sufficient levels of market acceptance, which may require significant efforts and costs.

There can be no assurance that customers and potential customers will accept from us new or updated software, services and other products. The future results of our business will depend, in significant part, on the success of our software, services or other product offerings. Current and potential customers may choose to use similar products and services offered by our competitors or may not purchase new or updated software, services or products, especially when they are initially offered and if they require changes in equipment or workflow. For software, services and products we are developing or may develop in the future, including through our Express MD joint venture, there can be no assurance that we will attract sufficient customers or that such offerings will generate sufficient revenues to cover their associated development, marketing and maintenance costs. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any pricing strategy that we implement for any new software and services or other product offerings will be economically viable or acceptable to the target markets. Failure to achieve broad penetration in target markets with respect to new or updated software, services and product offerings could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects. Further, achieving market acceptance for new or updated software, services and product offerings is likely to require substantial marketing efforts and expenditure of significant funds to create awareness and demand by potential customers.

We do not have patents on all the technology we use, which could harm our competitive position.

Presently, we have two issued U.S. patents and eight issued foreign patents. In addition, we have three U.S., two foreign and one PCT patent applications pending relating to the technology and business processes underlying our services and applications. However, some of the technology embodied in some of our current products cannot be patented. We have registered the trademarks “Authentidate”, “Inscrybe,” “Inscrybe Office” and “CareCert” in the U.S., the trademark “Authentidate” in Germany, Mexico and in the European Community, “Inscrybe” in the European Community and “Inscrybe Office,” “MyInscrybe” and a number of other trademarks as Madrid Protocol international registrations. We have also sought to register a number of additional trademarks in the U.S. and certain foreign markets, including “Inscrybe,” “MyInscrybe” and “Inscrybe Office.” We continue to take steps to protect our intellectual property rights including filing additional trademark and patent applications where appropriate. We rely on confidentiality agreements with our key employees to the extent we deem it to be necessary. We further intend to file patent applications for any new products we may develop, to the extent that we believe that any technology included in such products is patentable. There can be no assurance that any patents in fact, will be issued or that any such patents that do issue will be effective to protect our products and services from duplication by other manufacturers or developers or to prevent our competitors from offering similar products and services.

Other companies operating within our business segments may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or otherwise obtain access to our know-how, much of which is maintained as trade secrets. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to afford the expense of any litigation which may be necessary to enforce our rights under any patent. Although we believe that the products we sell do not and will not infringe upon the patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible that such infringement or violation has occurred or may occur. We have investigated patents held by third parties of which we are aware and believe that our products and services do not infringe on the claims of these patents. Although we have not received notice of any other claims that our products or services are infringing, we cannot provide any assurances that our products and services do not infringe upon any third party patents, including the patents we have investigated.

In the event that products we sell or services we provide are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be required to modify our products and/or services or obtain a license for the manufacture, use and/or sale of such products and services. There can be no assurance that, in such an event, we would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon our business. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to defend against a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. In addition, if our products, services or proposed products or services are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages or subject to an injunction, which could also have a material adverse effect on our business.

Because we currently derive a majority of our revenues from a few software and service offerings, any decline in demand for these offerings could severely harm our ability to generate revenues.

We currently derive a majority of our revenues from a limited number of software and service offerings. In addition, our focus on building our business is concentrated on markets for software and services where content integrity, workflow automation, electronic signatures and time and date stamping are important to customers. As a result, we are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in demand for these offerings, whether as a result of competition, product obsolescence, technological change, customer spending, or other factors. If our revenues derived from our software and service offerings were to decline significantly, our business and operating results would be adversely affected. Additionally, for the year ended June 30, 2008 we reported that one customer accounted for approximately 18% of our consolidated revenues. As a result, if our relationships with this or other significant customers were disrupted we could lose a significant percentage of our anticipated revenues which could have material adverse effect on our business.

Some of our software and service offerings have long and unpredictable sales cycles, which may impact our quarterly operating results.

Transactions for some of our software and service offerings require customers to undertake customized installations to integrate the solutions into their legacy systems and require them to modify existing business practices. The period from our initial contact with a potential customer until the execution of an agreement is difficult to predict and can be in excess of six months. The sales cycles for these transactions can be long and unpredictable due to a number of uncertainties such as:

•

customers’ budgetary constraints;

•

the need to educate potential customers about our software and service offerings;

•

the timing of customers’ budget cycles;

•

delays caused by customers’ internal review processes;

•

customers’ willingness to invest resources and modify their network infrastructures to take advantage of our offerings; and

•

for sales to government customers, governmental regulatory, approval and purchasing requirements.

We are unable to control or influence many of these factors. Further, we have experienced delays in the pace of adoption and use by our customers of our transaction-based offerings, such as Inscrybe Healthcare, which has adversely affected our earnings. We may experience similar delays with Inscrybe Office and other products currently under development. During the sales cycle and the implementation period, we may expend substantial time, effort and money preparing contract proposals, negotiating contracts and implementing solutions without receiving any related revenue. In addition, many of our expenses are relatively fixed in the short term, including personnel costs and technology and infrastructure costs. Accordingly, our inability to generate sufficient revenues from these offerings has a direct impact on our results of operations.

The failure to properly manage our growth could cause our business to lose money.

We are expanding our sales and marketing efforts in order to develop and pursue existing and potential market opportunities. This growth is expected to place a significant demand on management and operational resources. In order to manage growth effectively, we must implement and improve our operational systems and controls on a timely basis. If we fail to implement these systems and controls, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be materially and adversely affected.

Our software and web-based services and web site may be subject to intentional disruption.

Although we believe we have sufficient controls in place to prevent intentional disruptions, such as software viruses specifically designed to impede the performance of our software and web-based services, we may be affected by such efforts in the future. Further, despite the implementation of security measures, this infrastructure or other systems that we interface with, including the Internet and related systems, may be vulnerable to physical break-ins, hackers, improper employee or contractor access, programming errors, attacks by third parties or similar disruptive problems, resulting in the potential misappropriation of our proprietary information or interruptions of our services. Any compromise of our security, whether as a result of our own systems or systems that they interface with, could substantially disrupt our operations, harm our reputation and reduce demand for our services.

Performance problems with our systems or system failures could cause us to lose business or incur liabilities.

Our customer satisfaction and our business could be harmed if we experience transmission delays or failures or loss of data in the systems we use to provide services to our customers, including transaction-related services. These systems are complex and, despite testing and quality control, we cannot be certain that problems will not occur or that they will be detected and corrected promptly if they do occur. In providing these services, we rely on internal systems as well as communications and hosting services provided by third parties, such as the Internet. To operate without interruption, both we and the service providers we use must guard against:

•

damage from fire, power loss and other natural disasters;

•

communications failures;

•

software and hardware errors, failures or crashes;

•

security breaches, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems; and

•

other potential interruptions.

We have experienced periodic system interruptions in the past, and we cannot guarantee that they will not occur again. In the event of a catastrophic event at one of our data centers or any third party facility we use, we may experience an extended period of system unavailability, which could negatively impact our business. Further, if such an event caused the loss of stored data, it could have a material adverse impact on our business or cause us to incur material liabilities. Although we maintain insurance for our business, we cannot guarantee that our insurance will be adequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur or that this coverage will continue to be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts.

In addition, some of our web-based services may, at times, be required to accommodate higher than expected volumes of traffic. At those times, we may experience slower response times or system failures. Any sustained or repeated interruptions or disruptions in these systems or slow down in their response times could damage our relationships with customers. Further, the Internet has experienced, and is likely to continue to experience, significant growth in the number of users and the amount of traffic. If the Internet continues to experience increased usage, the Internet infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it which could harm its reliability and performance. Any significant interruptions in our services or increases in response time could result in a loss of potential or existing users of services and, if sustained or repeated, could reduce the attractiveness of our services.

Our software and service offerings may not be accepted by the market, which would seriously harm our business.

Demand and market acceptance for our currently available software and service offerings remain subject to a high level of uncertainty. Achieving widespread acceptance of these or future offerings will continue to require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds to create and maintain brand recognition and customer demand for such offerings. Demand for our software and services depend on, among other things:

•

the perceived ability of our offerings to address real customer problems;

•

the perceived quality, price, ease-of-use and interoperability of our offerings as compared to our competitors’ offerings;

•

the market’s perception of how easy or difficult it is to deploy our software or services, especially in complex, network environments;

•

the continued evolution of electronic commerce as a viable means of conducting business;

•

market acceptance and use of new technologies and standards;

•

the ability of network infrastructures to support an increasing number of users and services;

•

the pace of technological change and our ability to keep up with these changes; and

•

general economic conditions, which influence how much money our customers and potential customers are willing to allocate to their information technology budgets.

There can be no assurance that adequate marketing arrangements will be made and continued for our software and services and there can be no assurance that any of these offerings will ever achieve or maintain widespread market acceptance or that such offerings will be profitable.

If we cannot continuously enhance our software and web-based service offerings in response to rapid changes in the market, our business will be harmed.

The software-based services industry and computer industry are characterized by extensive research and development efforts which result in the frequent introduction of new products and services which render existing products and services obsolete. Our ability to compete successfully in the future will depend in large part on our ability to maintain a technically competent research and development staff and our ability to adapt to technological changes in the industry and enhance and improve our software and web-based service offerings and successfully develop and market new offerings that meet the changing needs of our customers. Although we are dedicated to continued improvement of our offerings with a view towards satisfying market needs with the most advanced capabilities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so on a regular basis and remain competitive with products offered by other manufacturers. At the present time, we do not have a targeted level of expenditures for research and development. We will evaluate all opportunities but believe the majority of our research and development will be devoted to enhancements of our existing software and web-based services.

If our software and web-based service offerings are not competitive, our business will suffer.

We are engaged in the highly competitive businesses of developing software-based workflow and authentication offerings. These markets are also continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid technological change. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we do. These organizations may be better known than we are and have more customers than we do. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against these organizations. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our markets include performance, ease of use, scalability,

manageability, price and customer service and support. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully incorporate these factors into our software and web-based services and compete against current or future competitors or that competitive pressure we face will not harm our business. If we are unable to develop and market products to compete with the products of competitors, our business will be materially and adversely affected.

Our business, including Inscrybe Healthcare, Inscrybe Office our telehealth appliance and service and our electronic signing solutions are relatively new business lines and although the level of competition for these offerings is uncertain at this point in time, the field of software-based solutions in which we compete is highly competitive. There can be no assurances, however, that any of our offerings will achieve market acceptance.

We also expect that competition will increase as a result of industry consolidations and the formation of new companies with new, innovative offerings. Current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their software and service offerings to address the needs of our prospective customers. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced operating margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our business.

Our software and web-based services are complex and are operated in a wide variety of computer configurations, which could result in errors or product failures.

Our software and web-based services are complex and may contain undetected errors, failures or bugs that may arise when they are first introduced or when new versions are released. These offerings may be used in large-scale computing environments with different operating systems, system management software and equipment and networking configurations, which may cause errors or failures in our software or services or may expose undetected errors, failures or bugs in such offerings. Our customers’ computer environments are often characterized by a wide variety of configurations that make pre-release testing for programming or compatibility errors difficult and time-consuming. Despite testing by us and by others, errors, failures or bugs may not be found in new products or releases after commencement of commercial use. Errors, failures or bugs in our offerings could result in negative publicity, returns, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our software or services or claims by customers or others. Alleviating these problems could require significant expenditures of our capital and resources and could cause interruptions, delays or cessation of our licenses which could cause us to lose existing or potential customers and would adversely affect our financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows. Most of our license agreements with customers contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that these provisions may not prove effective in limiting our liability.

We have a significant amount of net operating loss carry forwards which we may not be able to utilize in certain circumstances.

At June 30, 2008, we had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $105,000,000 available to offset future taxable income. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, following an “ownership change,” special limitations apply to the use by a “loss corporation” of its (i) NOL carry forwards arising before the ownership change and (ii) net unrealized built-in losses (if such losses existed immediately before the ownership change and exceed a statutory threshold amount) recognized during the five years following the ownership change ((i) and (ii) are referred to collectively as the “Applicable Tax Attributes”). After an ownership change, the amount of the loss corporation’s taxable income for each post-change taxable year that may be offset by the Applicable Tax Attributes is limited to the product of the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (published by the IRS for the month of the ownership change) multiplied by the value of the loss corporation’s stock (the “Section 382 Limitation”). To the extent that the loss corporation’s Section 382 Limitation in a given taxable year exceeds its taxable income for the year, that excess increases the Section 382 Limitation in future taxable years.

The failure to complete the proposed Parascript merger could negatively impact our future business and financial results of Authentidate because of, among other things, the market disruption that may occur as a result of uncertainties relating to a failure to complete the merger.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by our definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the membership interests of Parascript LLC and certain of its subsidiaries was subject to a number of conditions, including Authentidate shareholder approval. The merger agreement also provided for its termination by either the party if the transaction is not completed by December 31, 2008. As previously reported, we had held discussions with Parascript concerning a proposal to change the structure of the proposed merger in light of the uncertainties in the credit markets and changes in Parascript’s business. The parties did not agree on any modifications to the transaction and we received notice of termination from Parascript on January 21, 2009.

The termination of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby subjects us to certain risks. For instance, our business may be adversely impacted to the extent that customers, suppliers and others believe that we cannot compete in the

marketplace as effectively without the merger or otherwise remain uncertain about our future prospects in the absence of the merger and having had the focus of our management directed toward the merger and integration planning instead of on our core business and other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us. Further, to the extent that the market perceives that the merger was not consummated due to an adverse change in our business, our stock price may decline. In addition, certain costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting, filing, printing and mailing, must be paid and expensed regardless of the termination of the merger agreement. We have written-off approximately $900,000 in merger-related expenses due to the termination of the merger agreement.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock price is volatile and could decline.

The price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. For example, our stock price during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 traded as low as $0.37 per share and as high as $1.60 per share. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, our stock traded in the range of $0.08 to $0.80. We cannot assure you that your initial investment in our common stock will not fluctuate significantly. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

•

quarterly variations in our operating results;

•

announcements we make regarding significant contracts, acquisitions, dispositions, strategic partnerships, or joint ventures;

•

additions or departures of key personnel;

•

the introduction of competitive offerings by existing or new competitors;

•

uncertainty about and customer confidence in the current economic conditions and outlook;

•

reduced demand for any given software or web-based service offering; and

•

sales of our common stock.

In addition, the stock market in general, and companies whose stock is listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

Authentidate is currently not in compliance with The NASDAQ Capital Market $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and failure to regain and maintain compliance with this standard could result in delisting and adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

On June 12, 2008, Authentidate announced that effective June 13, 2008, the listing of the company’s common stock would be transferred from The NASDAQ Global Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market. As previously announced on December 18, 2007, Authentidate received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market advising that the company did not meet the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Global Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). The letter stated that the company had until June 16, 2008 to regain compliance and provided an option for Authentidate to transfer the listing of its common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market. Upon such transfer, Authentidate would be afforded an additional 180 calendar days to comply with the minimum bid price requirement while listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

Prior to June 11, 2008, Authentidate submitted a transfer application with NASDAQ to transfer listing of its common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market. On June 11, 2008, NASDAQ approved the transfer application, and Authentidate was afforded an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 12, 2008, to comply with the minimum bid price requirement of The NASDAQ Capital Market. As a result of extraordinary market conditions, NASDAQ has suspended enforcement of the bid price and market value of publically held shares requirements three times, most recently through July 19, 2009. Therefore, NASDAQ advised the company that it would have until September 15, 2009 to regain compliance.

Since we have not paid dividends on our common stock, you may not receive income from this investment.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not contemplate or anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, will be used to finance the development and expansion of our business.

The exercise of our outstanding options and warrants, or conversion of our outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, may depress our stock price and dilute your ownership of the company.

As of March 31, 2009, the following options and warrants were outstanding:

•

Stock options to purchase approximately 3,720,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.26 to $7.28 per share, not all of which are immediately exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is $3.83 per share. These stock options are employee and non-executive director options.

•

Immediately exercisable warrants to purchase approximately 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.39 per share.

•

Stock options to purchase 375,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share to an independent consultant which are exercisable upon achieving certain sales levels.

In addition, there are currently outstanding 28,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock may convert these shares into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.40 per share. Accordingly, the outstanding 28,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are presently convertible into an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock.

To the extent that these securities are exercised or converted, dilution to our shareholders will occur. Moreover, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of these securities can be expected to exercise or convert them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise and conversion terms provided by those securities. Further, in the event the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock is lower than the actual trading price on the day of conversion, the holder could immediately sell all of its converted common shares, which would have a dilutive effect on the value of the outstanding common shares. Furthermore, the significant downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock as Series B Preferred Stock holders converted these securities and sell the common shares received on conversion could encourage short sales by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock or other shareholders. This would place further downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. Even the mere perception of eventual sales of common shares issued on the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock could lead to a decline in the trading price of our common stock.
