                INCENTRA SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES 2005 SECOND QUARTER,
                            FIRST SIX MONTHS RESULTS

       PRO FORMA REVENUES UP YEAR-OVER-YEAR 27% AND 25%, RESPECTIVELY, TO
                        $17.6 MILLION AND $34.0 MILLION

BOULDER, CO, AUGUST 16, 2005 - Incentra Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: ICNS) today
announced that increased sales of information technology (IT) products and
services, higher levels of professional services and managed services to the
enterprise market and continued solid growth in its Front Porch Digital Media
offerings drove substantial year-over-year revenue increases for its second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. Second quarter pro forma revenue
increased 27 percent to $17.6 million, from $13.9 million for the comparable
prior year period. Pro forma gross margin for the 2005 second quarter was $5.1
million as compared to $4.3 million for the comparable prior year period.

         Chairman and CEO Thomas P. Sweeney noted, "Our revenue growth was
driven by higher third-party product sales, increased sales of professional
services, increased managed services in the enterprise market and the addition
of two DIVAcomplete installations for Front Porch Digital. The complete
solutions approach continues to position Incentra to take a larger percentage of
our customers' total spend with the opportunity to deliver higher-margin
recurring services.

         "Second quarter revenues were higher than previously forecasted due to
the accelerated sale and delivery of a few transactions which were originally
forecasted for the third quarter," Sweeney added. "Margins continue to improve
this year as we begin to realize synergies from the acquisitions and from the
expansion of our service offering to existing customers and to newly-acquired
customers. With our acquisition integration efforts largely complete, the teams
are now solely focused on the delivery of complete solutions to our customers."

         Pro forma net loss before amounts attributable to common
shareholders(1) for the quarter decreased 33 percent to $2.4 million compared to
a pro forma loss of $3.6 million for the 2004 second quarter. EBITDA(2), as
adjusted, was $293,000 for the 2005 second quarter and excluded a $135,000 gain
from an insurance recovery.

         For the first six months of 2005, the pro forma revenues increased 25
percent to $34.0 million, from the comparable prior year period. EBITDA(2), as
adjusted, for the first six months of 2005 was $704,000 which also excluded the
insurance recovery. "Overall, we continue to make strides in delivering complete
IT solutions and solidifying our position as an outsourced provider and
implementer for our customers' complete IT needs," Sweeney commented.

- ------------------
(1) Net loss before amounts attributable to common shareholders excludes deemed
dividends and accretion related to the Company's preferred stock.

(2) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. Although
EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company
believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an overall
understanding of the Company's past financial performance and is a widely-used
measure of operating performance in practice. In addition, the Company believes
the use of EBITDA provides useful information to the investor because EBITDA
excludes significant non-cash interest and amortization charges related to past
financings by the Company that, when excluded, the Company believes produces
more meaningful operating information. EBITDA also excludes depreciation expense
incurred primarily in the MSI subsidiary and amortization expense for intangible
assets which arose out from the acquisition of MSI, which are significant when
compared to such levels prior to the acquisition of MSI. However, investors
should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income
(loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any
other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity
that are calculated in accordance with GAAP, and this measure may not
necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other
companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial
measure, loss before income taxes, is included in the adjoining tables.
