ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

AuthentiDate Holding Corp. (“AHC”) provides software and related services in three segments:

	•	the Security Software Solutions Segment (f/k/a Authentidate Segment, including AuthentiDate, Inc., Trac Medical Solutions, Inc. and Authentidate International AG);

	•	the Document Management Solutions Segment (f/k/a Docstar Division); and

	•	the Systems Integration Segment (f/k/a DJS).

We are a worldwide provider of secure enterprise workflow management solutions that incorporate our proprietary and patent pending content authentication technology. Through our Products and Technology Group, we aim to develop and establish a common service platform to support a variety of solutions. Our offerings include the United States Postal Service® Electronic Postmark® Service (USPS® EPM®), electronic signing solutions, and electronic forms processing solutions. We also provide secure document management solutions, and enterprise network security products and services. The revenues and profit and loss measures for each of our segments, as well as a discussion of the geographic areas from where we derive revenues from external customers, is set forth in full at Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. A detailed discussion of each of our three reportable segments immediately follows this general discussion of our business operations. AHC was formerly known as Bitwise Designs, Inc. The name change was approved by our shareholders at our March 23, 2001 Annual Meeting.

Security Software Solutions Segment

General

We established our Authentidate business during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 to market and sell a service providing for the storage, confirmation and authentication of electronic data and images. We formerly referred to this segment as the Authentidate segment. Our Authentidate content authentication service is designed to accept and store electronic files from the Internet or facsimile transmission and date and time stamp those files with a secure clock to prove content, date and time authenticity. The service allows users to also send authentic e-mail and we also expect that this service will be utilized for electronic bill presentment, financial services, health care and government applications. The market for our products is relatively new, still developing and we currently face limited competition. However, the market for software security products in general is highly competitive, rapidly changing, has experienced significant growth over the last decade, and we believe such growth will continue.

USPS EPM®

On July 31, 2002, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with the United States Postal Service to serve as the preferred provider of the USPS Electronic Postmark® service. The USPS Electronic Postmark® provides evidence that the content of a document or file existed at a specific date and time and is intended to protect the integrity of the document or file by ensuring that it cannot be altered without detection. Under the terms of the agreement, our subsidiary, AuthentiDate, Inc., provides the sales, marketing, management, technology and support for the United States Postal Service's EPM system. The EPM uses our patent pending technology offering highly sophisticated encryption methodology ensuring document authenticity and is intended to be able to be added to any application regardless of the computing platform or operating system. Under this alliance, our customer is the USPS, which sells EPMs to end users. The USPS EPM service is also available through Microsoft Corporation's Office® products. In order to facilitate this product launch, we entered into development and promotional agreements with Microsoft Corporation and an affiliate of Microsoft in order to create the necessary software interfaces to Microsoft Office®. We announced a general release of this product in October 2003.

During the 2005 fiscal year, we implemented a new solutions-based approach to accelerate development of the market for the USPS EPM. In April 2005, we launched a new service to authenticate and verify paper documents received via fax. On May 17, 2005, we announced that the United States Postal Service has approved an updated version of the USPS EPM service.

When we initially entered into our agreement with the Postal Service in July 2002, we agreed on certain performance metrics. In September 2004, the Postal Service notified us of a failure to comply with the current revenue metrics, which commenced a six month period to achieve compliance with the metrics. We began negotiating with the Postal Service to complete a modification of this metric and in December 2004 believed that we cured the default. However, on May 23, 2005, we received a second notice from the Postal Service stating that we had failed to attain certain performance metrics required by the Strategic Alliance Agreement during the period February 2005 through April 2005. In its notice, the Postal Service has advised us that although it intends to exercise its right to terminate the Strategic Alliance Agreement if we are unable to cure this default, it is willing to discuss further plans that we may have to attain the performance metrics provided by the Strategic Alliance Agreement. We are currently engaged in discussions with the Postal Service to potentially modify the terms of the Strategic Alliance Agreement in order to modify these metrics. No assurances, however, can be given that we will be successful in curing the default or completing any negotiations.

Authentidate International

We own Authentidate International, A.G., a German corporation, which markets security software solutions in certain foreign countries, including the European marketplace. Authentidate International is based in the vicinity of Dusseldorf, Germany and is presently focused on selling its software solutions in Germany. Authentidate International develops and provides software solutions for electronic invoicing, secure e-mail, archiving, scanning, time stamping and workflow systems. Authentidate International is also a Certification Service Provider, accredited by the German Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Post in accordance with the new German Digital Signature Act and European directives.

Trac Medical Solutions

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Trac Medical Solutions, Inc., has developed a service applying our content authentication technology to the medical supply industry to electronically process Certificates of Medical Necessity (a “CMN”) and other medical forms. This service, which was launched in our 2003 fiscal year, is known as CareCert^TM. In February 2004, Trac Medical Solutions entered into a nine-year agreement with an affiliate of the American Association for Homecare and bConnected Software, Inc. providing for the delivery of an enterprise version of its software-based solution for the processing of electronic CMNs and other electronic health care forms. Trac Medical announced commercial availability of the enterprise version of CareCert, known as CareCert ES, during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

Document Management Solutions Segment

We established our Document Management Solutions Segment in 1996, which we formerly referred to as our DocStar Division. We develop document imaging software and market and sell the software products, either as a stand-alone product or integrated with hardware under the DocStar name. We sell our DocStar products to end users through a national dealer network and directly through our internal sales force. The DocStar product line is intended to provide a cost effective method of reducing the space necessary to store documents while granting a user the ability to instantly retrieve documents. We believe that the document imaging software market will continue to be one of our primary businesses and a basis for growth during the next few years. This is an evolving market which is expected to experience significant growth in the future. However, there can be no assurance that our efforts in this market will result in profits, income or significant revenues to our business.

Systems Integration Segment

In 1996 we established our Systems Integration Segment, which consists of the operation of our subsidiary DJS Marketing Group, Inc. (“DJS”). We formerly referred to this segment as the DJS segment. DJS is an authorized sales and support provider for software products such as Microsoft Solutions and Lotus Notes and hardware items, including IBM and Compaq. DJS also provides information technology services in its market area of upstate New York. DJS provides the following array of solutions:

Back to Contents

	•	computer products and integration services;

	•	network services; and

	•	Internet/intranet development services.

We believe the market for the solutions provided by our Systems Integration Segment will continue to grow in the next several years. However, we continue to focus on the services aspect of this segment, which generates higher profit margins. There can be no assurance that growth in the market for the services offered by our Systems Integration Segment will continue.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

We have three U.S. and six foreign patent applications pending relating to the technology and business processes underlying the Authentidate product line. We have registered the trademarks “Authentidate,”“DocStar” and the DocStar logo as trademarks in the United States. We have also sought to register seven additional trademarks in the United States. We have also registered the trademark “Authentidate” in Germany and Europe. In connection with our Trac Medical Solutions business, we have three U.S. and five foreign patent applications pending, have registered the trademark “CareCert” and have sought to register five additional trademarks, including the marks “Trac Medical” and “TracMed.” No assurance can be given that registration will be obtainable or if obtained will be effective to protect our trademarks. We believe our tradenames and patents are material to our business. The source code for our software products is also protected both as a trade secret and as a copyrighted work. Some of our customers are beneficiaries of a source code escrow account arrangement which enables the customer to obtain a contingent future limited right to use our source code solely for the customer's internal use. If our source code is accessed, the likelihood of misappropriation or other misuse of our intellectual property may increase.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The market for our products is characterized by rapid technological change involving the application of a number of advanced technologies, including those relating to computer hardware and software, communication technologies, mass storage devices, and other peripheral components. We believe that software upgrades and enhancements are keys to our success. Our ability to be competitive depends upon our ability to anticipate and effectively react to technological changes, changing market conditions for our products, as well as the application requirements of our customers. Research and development expenses for each of our last three fiscal years were $3,139,381, $2,377,613 and $2,534,777.

Since inception, we have devoted efforts to research and development activities in an effort to improve our current software and introduce new upgrades and products. Current development efforts regarding our content authentication technology include enhancing our current products and integrating them into customer applications. Current development efforts for our DocStar products are directed toward improving ease of use, adding software modules and increasing performance. We will continue to improve our document imaging software in an effort to satisfy the needs of a dynamic marketplace. We capitalize software development costs and amortize those costs in accordance with our policy disclosed in Note 1 to the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

EMPLOYEES

We currently employ a total of approximately 123 full-time employees throughout our operations, including our executive officers. We have 39 full-time employees in our Document Imaging Segment, 50 full-time employees in our Security Software segment, 20 full-time employees in our Systems Integration Segment and 14 Corporate employees. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our employee relations are satisfactory.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Compliance with federal, state, local, and foreign laws enacted for the protection of the environment has to date had no material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. Although we do not anticipate any material adverse effects in the future based on the nature of our operations and the thrust of such laws, no assurance can be given such laws, or any future laws enacted for the protection of the environment, will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

GENERAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE 2005 FISCAL YEAR

Changes in Executive Management

In our 2005 fiscal year we experienced significant changes to our executive team. Effective November 15, 2004, Mr. Surendra Pai became our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Pai also joined our Board of Directors on October 27, 2004. Mr. Pai's employment is governed by a two-year employment agreement, which we entered into with him on October 27, 2004. The terms and conditions of Mr. Pai's employment agreement are described below in this Annual Report under the section captioned “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements”.

In connection with our hiring of Mr. Pai, effective November 15, 2004, John T. Botti relinquished the office of President and Chief Executive Officer and declined to stand for reelection to our board of directors at our annual meeting of shareholders which was held on January 20, 2005. Mr. Botti, one of our founders, had served as our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman since our inception. On February 7, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Release with Mr. Botti, pursuant to which we will pay him the severance payments as provided by his employment agreement and agreed to retain Mr. Botti to provide consulting services to us for a period of one year at a monthly retainer of $10,000. Mr. Botti's severance and consulting arrangements are described in greater detail below in this Annual Report under the section captioned “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements”.

Other changes to our executive management that occurred in our 2005 fiscal year include our appointment of Mr. John J. Waters to our board of directors on July 8, 2004 and our subsequent decision to engage him as our Executive Vice President – Chief Administrative Officer. In his capacity as Executive Vice President – Chief Administrative Officer, Mr. Waters is responsible for our strategic and financial planning. Mr. Waters reports directly to our Chief Executive Officer. We entered into a two year employment agreement with Mr. Waters, effective as of August 6, 2004, the terms and conditions of which are described in below under the section captioned “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements”.

Back to Contents

In addition, effective December 31, 2004, Mr. Peter Smith no longer serves as our Executive Vice President – Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Smith had joined Authentidate in November 2003. On February 8, 2005 we entered into an Agreement and Release with Mr. Smith in which we agreed upon the specific structure of his severance arrangement. Mr. Smith's severance arrangement is described in greater detail below in this Annual Report under the section captioned “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements”.

General Business Developments

On July 30, 2004, we announced that we agreed in principle to partner with Canada Post Corporation to create a universally accepted electronic postmark that will meet the standards of the Universal Postal Union. As the primary forum for cooperation between postal services around the world, the UPU sets the rules for international mail exchanges and makes recommendations to stimulate growth in mail volume and improve the quality of service for customers. We attempted to form a partnership with Canada Post to fully develop the standards-based technology and to market, sell and deploy an EPM service which can be implemented by postal organizations worldwide. We have been unable to reach a mutually acceptable agreement to form a partnership as originally contemplated and have disengaged with Canada Post at this time.

On December 2, 2004, we announced that we entered into a strategic relationship with Health Fusion, Inc. Pursuant to the agreements entered into between Authentidate Holding Corp. and Health Fusion, Inc., we invested $750,000 in HealthFusion and will invest an additional $750,000 provided Health Fusion achieves certain financial or other performance objectives.

On December 6, 2004, we assumed certain assets and liabilities of Cryptcom Securities, Inc., a privately-held technology consulting company, for a purchase price of $125,000. We will be obligated to pay an additional $425,000 to former shareholders of Cryptcom Securities, Inc. in the event our operation of the acquired assets generates certain financial measures by December 31, 2006. Additionally, we will be required to pay an “earn out” equal to a percentage of net income based on the performance of this division, commencing on the earlier of December 6, 2007 or the fiscal year immediately following the fiscal year during which the additional purchase price, $425,000, has been earned, and following for a term of five years from either date.

On March 23, 2005 we entered into a new employment agreement with Jan C. E. Wendenburg, who currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of our German subsidiary, Authentidate International, A.G. The agreement, which is effective as of March 15, 2005 and expires on March 31, 2007, sets forth the terms and conditions of Mr. Wendenburg's continued employment as the Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate International. The terms and conditions of Mr. Wendenburg's employment agreement are described below in this Annual Report under the section captioned “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements”.

On April 13, 2005, we announced that we entered into an agreement with Liberty Healthcare Group Inc., a national medical products company for the use of a new authentication service to enable clients and other authorized parties to verify Doctor Orders that are received via fax. Authentidate's service enables the faxed records to be verified online for compliance and audit purposes by utilizing the USPS EPM. It is anticipated that the Liberty implementation will utilize 1.5 to 2 million EPMs annually. A Doctor Order supports the medical need for issuance of supplies and services that are reimbursed under the Medicare Program.

AUTHENTIDATE HOLDING CORP.

SECURITY SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS SEGMENT

AUTHENTIDATE, INC./CONTENT AUTHENTICATION SERVICE

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, we established a majority owned subsidiary named Authentidate, Inc., to engage in a new business line of providing end users with a software-based content authentication service which:

	•	accepts and stores electronic data from networks and personal computers throughout the world from different operating systems via the Internet and facsimile transmission;

	•	indelibly dates and time stamps all electronic data received using a secure clock;

	•	allows users to transmit only the “secure codes” to our fileservers while maintaining the original within the customers “firewall” and

	•	allows users to prove authenticity of time, date and content of stored electronic data using a hash code delivered to the user's computers.

As discussed below, pursuant to our agreement with the United States Postal Service, Authentidate, Inc. serves as the preferred provider of the USPS Electronic Postmark. The USPS Electronic Postmark utilizes our proprietary technology to protect the integrity of an electronic document by ensuring that it cannot be altered without detection.

Pursuant to an exchange offer we completed in 2001 with the shareholders of Authentidate, Inc., we presently own approximately 98% of the outstanding capital stock of Authentidate.

AUTHENTIDATE INTERNATIONAL, AG

We formed a joint venture in March, 2000, known as Authentidate International, AG, to develop the Authentidate software in foreign languages and to market that product outside the Americas, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and India. This subsidiary is currently generating sales in the German market. On March 15, 2002, we consummated the acquisition of the outstanding capital stock of Authentidate International not owned by us and presently own all of the capital stock of this company.

AuthentiDate International provides signature-based business process solutions, which feature easy integration, economic efficiency, platform independence and protection of investment and is a Certification Service Provider, accredited by the German Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Post in accordance with the new German Digital Signature Act and European directives. The German Digital Signature Act established the conditions required to give digital documents legal validity through the use of electronic signatures, granting them an equivalent status to conventional paper documents (i.e. enabling them to be used as evidence in legal disputes). As an accredited provider, Authentidate International is able to generate legally valid time stamps in accordance with the new German Digital Signature Act and European guidelines.

TRAC MEDICAL SOLUTIONS, INC.

We established Trac Medical Solutions, Inc. as WebCMN, Inc., in March, 2001 in order to develop a service to facilitate the processing of CMNs and other medical forms for the medical equipment supplier industry. WebCMN changed its corporate name to Trac Medical Solutions, Inc., in connection with its acquisition of various intellectual property and other assets in October, 2001, including the trademark “Trac Medical” and a patent application related to its business. In March 2003, we acquired all the outstanding stock of Trac Medical Solutions, Inc. previously held by four other shareholders, which comprised approximately 14.2% of the company and now own 100% of Trac Medical Solutions.

Through Trac Medical Solutions, we have developed a service which incorporates our proprietary content authentication software that is designed to enable users to accurately and efficiently process CMNs, which are required to be submitted by suppliers of medical devices in order to obtain insurance reimbursement from Medicare and other third party payors for such products. Trac Medical Solutions markets its service under the trademark CareCert and CareCert ES. This service is intended to reduce the time period for reimbursement currently experienced by medical device suppliers.

PRODUCTS

Content Authentication

We offer a security software service to business and government accounts to enable customers to time and date stamp electronic documents utilizing a secure clock to prove content, date and time authenticity. Documents may be received by any electronic medium, such as internet, facsimile or a scanning device. We launched our Authentidate branded content authentication service in May 2001.

USPS EPM

In August 2002, we announced that we entered into an agreement with the United States Postal Service to market the USPS Electronic Postmark Service®. The USPS EPM service employs our patent pending content authentication technology to ensure document authenticity and is designed to be added to any application regardless of platform or operating system. Pursuant to our agreement with the USPS, we provide the management, technology and support for the USPS EPM and the EPM is sold to end users by the USPS. We began to recognize significant revenue from the sale of EPMs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

When we initially entered into our agreement with the Postal Service in July 2002, we agreed on certain performance metrics. As previously disclosed, on May 23, 2005, the Postal Service notified us of our failure to comply with the current revenue metrics, which commences a six month period to achieve compliance with the metrics. While there is no guarantee that we will be successful in curing the default or completing any negotiations, we are in ongoing discussions with the Postal Service to potentially modify the terms of our agreement.

During the 2005 fiscal year, we implemented a new solutions-based approach to accelerate development of the market for the USPS EPM. In April 2005, we launched a new service to authenticate and verify paper documents received via fax. A national medical products company has signed on to use this service to secure the integrity of the large volume of doctor orders it receives via fax. On May 17, 2005, we announced that the United States Postal Service has approved an updated version of the USPS EPM service. The new version offers enhancements including an optional return-receipt capability that allows users to track delivery and acceptance of electronic content. In addition, users can now sign-up for a USPS EPM Service account using a username and password, eliminating the need to use digital certificates.

We also entered into development and promotional agreements with Microsoft Corporation and a Microsoft affiliate during the 2003 fiscal year in order to create the interfaces between the EPM and Microsoft software products, including Microsoft Office. We announced the general commercial release of the integrated product in October 2003.

Authentidate International, A.G.

Authentidate International markets the Authentidate technology in the European marketplace and has entered into over sixty revenue-generating agreements with its customers. In addition, it has approximately 70 additional end-user customers using their products through service partners.

Trac Medical Solutions

Trac Medical Solutions commenced marketing its service, CareCert^TM, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. As of June 30, 2005, Trac Medical has entered into over thirty customer agreements. Further, on August 16, 2004, we announced that one of the largest U.S. providers of home healthcare products and services has entered into an agreement to utilize Trac Medical's CareCert Service through a reseller engaged by Trac Medical. The Agreement provides that the customer shall pay a fixed fee of $3,000,000 to use Trac Medical's electronic healthcare documentation processing service and process up to 5,000,000 transactions during a five year term, unless the customer exercises a right to convert to a standard pricing model at the end of 2005. If the customer exercises this right, the total value of the contract would be reduced to $1,200,000. Trac Medical will receive net revenues from the contract equal to approximately 72.5% of the total value of the contract, after giving effect to payment of reseller fees and royalties.

As described above, in February 2004, Trac Medical Solutions entered into a nine-year agreement with an affiliate of the American Association for Homecare (the “Association”) and bConnected Software, Inc. providing for the delivery of an enterprise version of our solution for the processing of e-CMNs and other electronic health care forms. The Association agreed to license its logos and trademarks to Trac Medical Solutions in connection with its marketing efforts in consideration of a royalty based on usage by Association members of the CareCert service. In a related transaction, Trac Medical Solutions entered into a software development and license agreement with bConnected Software pursuant to which bConnected developed software elements to be integrated with Trac Medical Solutions' CareCert technology in order to enable certain of the functionality contemplated by Trac Medical's agreement with the Association. As part of the development and license agreement, Trac Medical will pay bConnected a percentage of future sales to third parties as a royalty fee. Trac Medical Solutions subsequently retained bConnected to serve as a reseller of the CareCert service to certain select customers. bConnected will receive a commission based on revenues generated from customers that it procures. We launched the enterprise version of CareCert, known as CareCert ES, during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPLIERS

We have engaged AT&T, Inc., to provide and maintain a secure hosting center at a facility in New York State to host our products and services, including the USPS EPM Service and CareCert. Authentidate International has retained a hosting center in Europe to maintain its secure data center. We believe that there are sufficient alternative suppliers of these services. We initially retained third party consulting firms to program and develop the Authentidate Enterprise Edition, the German version of the Authentidate software and our CareCert software products. Currently, we have employed our own staff of software developers, augmented by third party consultants, to complete the development and design improvements to each of these products. Our software products incorporate products and services which we license from unaffiliated third parties. We believe that adequate alternative suppliers of these products and services exist on commercially reasonable terms so as to mitigate any adverse impacts caused by the termination of any of our existing relationships.

As described above, Trac Medical Solutions entered into a software development and license agreement with bConnected Software providing for the development by bConnected of software to be integrated with Trac Medical Solutions' current CareCert technology to provide certain of the functionality to be delivered pursuant to the agreement with the Association.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Other companies operating within our business segment may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or otherwise obtain access to our know-how. 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. On August 25, 2005, we became aware of an action filed against us entitled TimeCertain LLC vs. Authentidate Holding Corporation, Authentidate, Inc. and NCipher Inc. The plaintiff in this matter has claimed that our products and systems incorporating secure time-stamping technology, including but not limited to the USPS Electronic Postmark system, infringes certain of its patent rights. We are reviewing this complaint and intend to vigorously contest this action. We have investigated other patents held by third parties of which we are aware to determine whether any of our current products infringe on the claims made in these patents and believe that our products do not infringe on these patent claims. Although we have not received notice of any other claims that our products are infringing, we can not provide any assurances that our commercial products do not infringe upon any other patents, including the patents that we have investigated. As described below, we are currently defending a claim by Shore Venture Group, in which it alleges, among other things, rights under one of our patent applications and damages in connection with an alleged copyright infringement. Prior to the commencement of this case, we had conducted extensive settlement negotiations with Shore Venture in an effort to resolve all claims between the parties and are defending this action vigorously.

In the event that products we sell are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be required to modify our products or obtain a license for the manufacture, use and/or sale of such products. 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 enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. In addition, if our products or proposed products 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.

SALES AND MARKETING

Authentidate and Authentidate International market their products directly to corporate and government accounts using a combination of direct sales and indirect sales. Authentidate also markets the EPM product to corporate and government accounts. As discussed above, the EPM product is sold to end users by the USPS pursuant to our Alliance Agreement with the USPS. Authentidate and Authentidate International expect to use a combination of transaction fees, maintenance fees, service fees, and license fees to generate revenue. Authentidate has entered into reseller and referral agreements with third parties for assistance with its sales and marketing efforts. These third party marketing and sales agents typically receive a commission based on a percentage of the value of customer agreements we enter into due to their efforts. Because some of our sales may involve contracts with a term exceeding one year, we generally defer revenue derived from these contracts and recognize it over the life of the contract.

In addition, Authentidate International's services and solutions are available through an extensive Authentidate partner network in Germany, as well as directly from the company itself. Authentidate International has also integrated its solutions with the software products of a number of its strategic partners in order to provide the functions and services as an integrated solution.

Trac Medical Solutions markets its service offering to medical home care suppliers and uses a fee structure similar to Authentidate to generate revenues. Pursuant to its agreements with the Homecare Association and bConnected, Trac Medical Solutions is able to directly market CareCert to the membership of the Association. In addition, bConnected has entered into a reseller agreement with Trac Medical Solutions to augment its sales efforts. Both the Homecare Association and bConnected are entitled to a royalty payment based on usage by Association members of CareCert.

The majority of our segment assets are located in the United States and we derive the majority of our revenues from this segment from external customers located in the United States. In Germany, we had revenues from external customers of approximately $2,183,000 for 2005, $1,236,000 for 2004 and $858,000 for 2003 and segment assets of approximately $1,487,000, $1,198,000 and $919,000 at June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. All other revenue is generated and assets are located in the United States.

COMPETITION

Our Authentidate and CareCert product concepts are new and competition is currently limited. Authentidate and the related business lines may, however, experience competition from much larger Internet and software companies that have greater financial, technological and marketing resources than us. The markets in which we compete are highly competitive and rapidly changing. Although we believe there is no single company that directly competes with the USPS EPM or CareCert products, we are aware of efforts by other companies to develop products or services to either compete directly with our products or that could be used as alternatives to our products For example, companies offering secure e-mail products could attempt to compete with the USPS EPM. Trac Medical Solutions competes with E-Click, Inc. in providing web-based processing of medical forms. In addition, companies with which we do not presently directly compete may become competitors in the future through their product development in the area of secure online services.

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS SEGMENT

PRODUCTS

DocSTAR Document Imaging Systems

In January 1996, we introduced our document imaging management system under the tradename DocStar on a national level. Our DocStar system enables users to scan paper documents onto an optical disk, hard drive or other storage medium from which they can be retrieved in seconds. This system allows users to eliminate or significantly reduce paper filing systems. We believe that a broad spectrum of businesses and governmental agencies experience the problem of storage, management and security of paper documents. The DocStar product line is intended to provide a cost effective method of reducing the space necessary to store documents while granting a user the ability to instantly retrieve documents. We believe that ease of use is a key ingredient of the DocStar software.

Our DocStar product line consists of our proprietary software and may include a personal computer or other hardware devices to create an integrated product. This system can be utilized as a “stand-alone” system or as part of a network installation. We consider DocStar to be a software business. While, we will sell the hardware in order provide the customer with a “turn-key” system, if requested by a customer, we believe that it is the software employed in the DocStar system which differentiates us from our competitors. During the 2005 fiscal year, we released a new version of the DocStar software.

The operation of a document management system is similar to the operation of a facsimile machine. Documents are fed into an optical scanner that reads the documents and stores the information on one of several alternative mass storage devices. Documents can also be transmitted from or to the system via facsimile machine or over the Internet. Documents can be retrieved almost instantaneously for viewing, printing or faxing thereby offering a significant time-saving tool to the modern office.

We design and produce the DocStar product line, the main components of which are a proprietary software package and, in the event the end user desires an integrated hardware/software solution, a personal computer or other hardware devices. The DocStar software controls scanning, indexing, storage and reproduction. We purchase hardware devices, such as personal computers and components from unaffiliated third parties and load the software. The software utilized in DocStar consists of various versions of existing software from other developers, as well as software we have developed. We offer the DocStar System in several models, which offer different storage options and processing speeds. We also sell optional software modules to enhance an end user's document imaging system and additional software upgrades, maintenance programs and licenses which involve no hardware or computer parts.

We market our DocStar products through a national dealer network of approximately 100 dealers and anticipate the addition of several new dealers in future fiscal quarters to expand into markets not currently served. While we have entered into relationships with new dealers during the past fiscal year, the overall number of dealers in our network has remained relatively constant due to our termination of under-performing dealers. We own and manage one dealership in the Albany, New York region, which also serves as a test market for new applications and software. This dealership serves as our direct sales force for markets located in and near New York State.

BACKLOG

We normally ship products within 5 days after receipt of an order and typically have no more than two weeks of sales in backlog at any time. The amount of backlog fluctuates but usually is not material.

QUALITY CONTROL AND SERVICE

For Software-Only Sales:

We copy the software on to blank disks purchased from third party vendors from our master disk, which is fully-tested. Disks are packaged with software documentation and shipped to our customers. Our master disks are continuously tested and updated by our research and development department.

For Integrated Software/Hardware Systems:

We purchase personal computers and components from third-party manufacturers which receive testing prior to shipping to our dealers.

We administer quality control at each of the three levels of the assembly process for customer-ordered hardware. First, components considered for use in standard systems are tested for compatibility by the research staff. Second, incoming components receive a physical damage inspection on receipt and again at the start of the production process. Each memory module is electronically tested prior to assembly. Each complete unit is then functionally tested at the end of the assembly process to demonstrate that all components are engaged and fully operational.

Third, each complete unit is “burned-in” from eight to twelve hours. This process involves running a component test program which sequentially tests each memory bit, processor circuit, and drive memory track to verify correct operation in a temperature-controlled chamber. This test is repeated continuously over the burn-in period. Since electronic components have their greatest failure risk during the first few hours of active operation, management believes that the burn-in process reveals most faulty components before they reach the end user.

Our dealers provide service to the end users. All dealers receive service training from our national service staff. We provide the dealer with replacement parts free of charge for 13 months after date of shipment. Our vendors provide a similar warranty for failed components. We offer telephone support service to our dealers. For our direct customers, we provide all the service and support.

SALES AND MARKETING

Our products are primarily being distributed through a national dealer network and through a direct sales team in certain markets. We believe that we have achieved a national sales presence through national advertising, favorable reviews in industry publications, newspapers, magazines, press releases and other periodicals utilized by the document imaging industry. Moreover, we periodically offer direct mail and tele-marketing services to selected qualified dealers in their market area. Management intends to increase the number of dealer locations during the current fiscal year, although there can be no assurance we will be successful in such efforts.

Our products are usually sold on credit terms or through a floor planning finance company (to qualified accounts), and are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 13 months from purchase. We currently employ six regional sales managers to cover the significant markets of the country. Some of these regions may also have sales personnel reporting to the regional sales manager depending upon the number of dealers in that region. The regional sales managers report to our national sales manager. In addition, we have two direct sales personnel in New York State. No customer or distributor accounted for more than 10% of our total consolidated net sales in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. However, one customer Professional Imaging Filing, Inc. accounted for more than 10% of the total net sales in our Document Imaging Segment during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

COMPETITION

The market for our products is rapidly changing and highly competitive. The competition is direct (i.e., companies that make similar products) and indirect (i.e., companies that participate in the market, but are not our direct competitors). We compete with major document imaging companies such as Laserfiche, Docuware and Alchemy. Many of our current and prospective competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources, as well as a larger installed base, than us.

SYSTEMS INTEGRATION SEGMENT

Solutions provided by our Systems Integration business are offered through DJS (d/b/a “Computer Professionals”). DJS is a network and systems integrator of computer and peripheral products for a variety of customers, including corporations, schools, government agencies, manufacturers and distributors in the Albany, New York region. DJS provides network integration, Internet/Intranet development, accounting solutions, service, consultation, document management and video conferences. DJS also services the products it sells by employing factory trained computer technicians and network engineers.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Computer Products

DJS purchases personal computers and peripheral computer products from many different suppliers for resales to its customers. Peripheral computer products are products that operate in conjunction with computers, including but not limited to, printers, monitors, scanners, modems and software.

SALES AND MARKETING

DJS markets its products and services throughout New York State, parts of Vermont and Massachusetts. DJS intends to expand its national sales and marketing departments. Clients include corporations, small office/home office owners, schools, government agencies, manufacturers and distributors. One customer, Guardian Life Insurance, represented approximately 20% of DJS' sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. This same customer accounted for approximately 36% of DJS' sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Sales to this customer primarily consisted of low-margin hardware and software products.

COMPETITION

DJS is one of the oldest and largest network and systems integrators in the Capital District of Albany, New York, and works on many diverse platforms. While management believes that no other computer company in the Albany, New York region offers the extensive services that DJS offers, DJS faces competition in computer sales, service and support in its market from companies such as include P&J Computers, ATEC Group and IP Logic. Some of our competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical and other resources than us.

RISK FACTORS

As provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we wish to caution stockholders and investors that the following important factors, among others discussed throughout this Report on Form 10-K, in some cases have affected and in some cases could affect our actual results of operations and cause such results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward looking statements made herein.

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 losses of approximately $19,184,000, $15,669,000 and $9,839,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Although approximately $4.8 million of our net loss for the 2005 fiscal year is due to non-cash impairment charges associated with goodwill and long-lived assets, we have expended, and will continue to be required to expend, substantial funds to pursue research and development projects and enhance marketing and sales efforts for our Security Software products and otherwise operate our business. Therefore, we will need to generate higher revenue from our Security Software Solutions segment 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 Security Software Solutions segment, 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. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations in future operating periods. Further, if the revenue generated from our Security Software products is less than anticipated, the carrying value of the goodwill and other long-lived assets may be impaired and require an impairment charge in the future. In 2005, our revenue from our security software products was less than anticipated and therefore we revised and lowered our future revenue projections. As a result, we recognized a non cash impairment charge for goodwill and other long-lived assets aggregating approximately $4.8 million.

WE HAVE HISTORICALLY HAD LIMITED WORKING CAPITAL AND HAVE 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 promote and market the Authentidate product line, including the offerings of our Trac Medical Solutions and Authentidate International subsidiaries. Due to these expenditures, we have incurred significant losses to date. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, we used approximately $10,632,000, $6,660,000 and $5,189,000 in cash for operating activities, respectively.

In February 2004, we announced the completion of private financings of approximately $73.7 million in which we issued an aggregate of 5,360,370 shares of our common stock. We intend to use the net proceeds from these sales to strengthen our balance sheet, for sales, marketing and other operational and general corporate purposes. We expect the net proceeds received from these transactions to satisfy our cash needs for the foreseeable future. No assurances can be given that we will be able to attain sales levels of our segments and support our costs through revenues derived from operations. If we are unable to attain projected sales levels for our Security Software products, it may be necessary to raise additional capital to fund operations to meet our obligations in the future.

IF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE CANCELS OUR AGREEMENT, WE WILL NEED TO INCUR ADDITIONAL COSTS IN OUR EFFORTS TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMERCIALIZE THIS TECHNOLOGY.

We entered into the strategic alliance agreement with the United States Postal Service to incorporate our content authentication service into their Electronic Postmark® Service. The Postal Service has the right to cancel the contract in the event we are unable to perform our obligations, including recognizing sufficient revenues, as required by the agreement. Further, the Postal Service has the right to terminate the agreement at its convenience. When we initially entered into our agreement with the Postal Service in July 2002, we agreed on certain performance metrics. The original revenue metric had not been attained and in September 2004 the Postal Service notified us of a failure to comply with the revenue metric, which commenced a six month period to achieve compliance with the metrics. We began negotiating with the Postal Service to complete a modification of this metric and in December 2004 believed that we cured the default.

Despite those actions, on May 27, 2005, the United States Postal Service delivered a second notice stating that we had failed to attain the performance metrics required by the Strategic Alliance Agreement during the period February 2005 through April 2005. In its notice, the Postal Service has advised us that although it intends to exercise its right to terminate the Strategic Alliance Agreement if we are unable to cure this default, it is willing to discuss further plans that we may have to attain the performance metrics in the Strategic Alliance Agreement.

We have continued our efforts to cure the default claimed by the USPS and to modify the Strategic Alliance Agreement. No assurances, however, can be given that we will be successful in completing any negotiations or that we will comply with the current performance metric in a timely manner. If we are unsuccessful in either of these tasks, the Postal Service may terminate the agreement. If the Postal Service terminates the agreement, we will not generate any revenue from the sales of EPMs. Further, if we are unable to commence realizing revenue from the EPM product, we will incur additional costs in exploring and developing alternative avenues in which to successfully market this technology. As described below, we have recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.9 million of goodwill related to Authentidate, Inc. See the discussion under the section captioned “Item 9B. Other Information”.

WE RELY TO A CERTAIN EXTENT ON OUR PRODUCTS' COMPATIBILITY WITH MICROSOFT CORPORATION'S PRODUCTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MARKET FOR THE USPS EPM.

On October 21, 2003 we launched an interface with Microsoft Office to provide for an interface with the USPS EPM. This represents an important element of our strategy to develop a market for the USPS EPM product. In the future, we expect to derive a substantial amount of business through this channel. We cannot provide assurance that we will achieve expected sales levels from this relationship. Microsoft is under no obligation for any purchase commitments or guarantees and the agreement does not obligate Microsoft to purchase USPS EPM transactions. Further, Microsoft may terminate this initiative at its convenience. In the event we do not achieve meaningful results from this relationship in the foreseeable future or Microsoft elects to terminate this relationship, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be significantly harmed.

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 3. Legal Proceedings,” below, several purported class action complaints were filed in federal court alleging that we and certain of our current and former officers and directors violated the federal securities laws. Subsequently, four purported shareholder derivative actions were filed against certain current and former officers and directors based on allegations substantially similar to those set forth in the purported class actions. For more information pertaining to these actions, see the section of this Annual Report entitled “Item 3. Legal Proceedings”. 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.

THE FAILURE TO PROPERLY MANAGE OUR GROWTH COULD CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO LOSE MONEY.

We intend to expand our marketing and distribution efforts relating to our Security Software Solutions segment in the near future 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 SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON THE PERFORMANCE AND INTEGRATION OF OUR NEW MANAGEMENT AND THE COOPERATION, PERFORMANCE AND RETENTION OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES.

Surendra Pai joined as our chief executive officer on November 15, 2004. Our business and operations are substantially dependent on the performance and integration of our new CEO and senior management team as well as the performance of our other senior managers and executive officers. These persons have worked together for only a short period of time. 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.

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.

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 FASB has issued a new standard that will require us to adopt a different method of determining and accounting for the compensation expense of our employee stock options. This and other possible changes to accounting standards, could adversely affect our reported results of operations although not necessarily our cash flows. 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.

WE EXPECT THAT ACCOUNTING FOR EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS USING THE FAIR VALUE METHOD WILL HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON OUR CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE.

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 123R, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values in the first annual period beginning after July 1, 2005. We expect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for more information regarding accounting for stock-based compensation plans. We cannot predict what effect the reduction in our net income may have on the market prices of our securities.

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 will 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 in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, regardless of events and circumstances. As described below, we have recorded an impairment charge of approximately $4.8 million of goodwill and other long-term intangible assets. See the discussion under the section captioned “Item 9B. Other Information”. As of June 30, 2005, we have approximately $7,300,000 of goodwill remaining from our acquisitions of Authentidate, Inc. and Authentidate International, A.G. 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.

On March 15, 2002, we consummated a transaction to acquire the 61% of the outstanding capital shares of Authentidate International, AG held by our co-venturers for an aggregate of 1,425,875 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with this transaction, certain of the sellers also surrendered to us for cancellation an aggregate of 250,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock which were previously issued to them. Further, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Jan C.E. Wendenburg, pursuant to which Mr. Wendenburg will serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate International, AG, for a three year term. In consideration of his services, Mr. Wendenburg received a base salary of approximately US$307,000 during the 2005 fiscal year. Further, we entered into a new two-year employment agreement with Mr. Wendenburg in March 2005 pursuant to which he will receive a base salary of approximately, $244,600 through March 31, 2006 and $256,900 thereafter, assuming current exchange rates. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we advanced approximately $1.4 million to this subsidiary. Of this amount, approximately $600,000 is an additional investment. 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.

OUR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS 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 products, we may be affected by future such efforts. Similarly, experienced computer programmers, or hackers, may attempt to penetrate our network security or the security of our web site and misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions of our services. Our activities could be substantially disrupted and our reputation, and future sales, harmed if these efforts are successful.

OUR SECURITY SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE MARKET, WHICH WOULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR BUSINESS.

Demand and market acceptance for our software security offerings remain subject to a high level of uncertainty. Achieving widespread acceptance of these products will continue to require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds to create and maintain brand recognition and customer demand for such products. There can be no assurance that adequate marketing arrangements will be made and continued for such products and there can be no assurance that any of these products will ever achieve or maintain widespread market acceptance or that the sale of such products will be profitable.

IF WE CANNOT CONTINUOUSLY ENHANCE OUR PRODUCTS 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 which render existing products 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 existing products and successfully develop and market new products that meet the changing needs of our customers. Although we are dedicated to continued research and development of our products with a view towards offering products with the most advanced capabilities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to develop new products on a regular basis which will be 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 products.

Technological improvements in new products that we and our competitors offer, as well as the general decline in the economy and other factors, have resulted in recent declines in retail prices for computer products. As competitive pressures have increased, many companies have ceased operation and liquidated inventories, further increasing downward pricing pressure. Such declines have, in the past, and may in the future, reduce our profit margins.

WE DO NOT HAVE PATENTS ON ALL THE TECHNOLOGY WE USE, WHICH COULD HARM OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION.

We do not currently hold any issued patents and the technology embodied in some of our current products cannot be patented. We have three U.S. and six foreign patent applications pending relating to the Authentidate technology including relating to verifying the authenticity of digital images and relating to the associated business process. We have registered the trademarks “Authentidate,” “DocStar” and the DocStar logo as trademarks in the United States. We have also sought to register seven additional trademarks in the United States. We have also registered the trademark “Authentidate” in Germany and Europe. In connection with our Trac Medical Solutions business, we have three U.S. and five foreign patent applications pending, have registered the trademark “CareCert” and have sought to register five additional trademarks, including the marks “Trac Medical” and “TracMed.” 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 from duplication by other manufacturers or developers.

Other companies operating within our business segment may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or otherwise obtain access to our know-how. 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. On August 25, 2005, we became aware of an action filed against us entitled TimeCertain LLC vs. Authentidate Holding Corporation, Authentidate, Inc. and NCipher Inc. The plaintiff in this matter has claimed that our products and systems incorporating secure time-stamping technology, including but not limited to the USPS Electronic Postmark system, infringes certain of its patent rights. We are reviewing this complaint and intend to vigorously contest this action. We have investigated other patents held by third parties of which we are aware to determine whether any of our current products infringe on the claims made in these patents and believe that our products do not infringe on these patent claims. Although we have not received notice of any other claims that our products are infringing, we can not provide any assurances that our commercial products do not infringe upon any other patents, including the patents we have investigated. As described below, we are currently defending a claim by Shore Venture Group, in which it alleges, among other things, rights under one of our patent applications and damages in connection with an alleged copyright infringement. Prior to the commencement of this case, we had conducted extensive settlement negotiations with Shore Venture in an effort to resolve all claims between the parties. We are defending this action vigorously.

WE DEPEND ON OTHERS FOR COMPONENTS OF OUR PRODUCTS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN DELAYS AND QUALITY-CONTROL ISSUES.

We do not own or lease any manufacturing facilities. Rather, we purchase components and finished products, such as personal computers from unaffiliated suppliers. DJS and DocStar acquire computer hardware from manufacturers or third party resellers. We believe that at the present time we have sufficient sources of supply of computer equipment, and that in the event any existing supplier ceases to furnish these to us, alternative sources are available. In addition, our software products incorporate elements which we license from unaffiliated third-parties. We believe that adequate alternative suppliers of these products are available on commercially reasonable terms. However, there can be no assurance that the future production capacity of our current suppliers and manufacturers will be sufficient to satisfy our requirements or that alternate suppliers and manufacturers will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Further, there can be no assurance that the availability of such supplies will continue in the future.

IF OUR PRODUCTS ARE NOT COMPETITIVE, OUR BUSINESS WILL SUFFER.

Authentidate Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the highly competitive businesses of developing document imaging software and distributing turn-key document imaging systems, developing software-based authentication products, and reselling computer hardware and software as well as technical support services for such businesses. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our markets include fault-tolerance, reliability, 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 products and to compete against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures 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.

The document imaging business is competitive and we compete with major manufacturers. Many of these companies have substantially more experience, greater sales, as well as greater financial and distribution resources than do we. Our Security Software Solutions segment, including the USPS EPM and the products offered by Trac Medical Solutions and Authentidate International, are relatively new business lines and although the level of competition across the product line is unknown at this point in time, the field of software-based security solutions is highly competitive. There can be no assurances, however, that any of these products, including the service offered through the U.S. Postal Service, will achieve market acceptance.

Our DJS subsidiary is engaged in the highly competitive business of systems integration, computer services and computer reselling. DJS competes with many small and local companies which provide similar technical services to those offered by DJS. Additionally, DJS must compete with other computer resellers, many of whom have greater financial and technical resources. There can be no assurance that DJS will be able to compete successfully with these competitors.

We also expect that competition will increase as a result of industry consolidations and the formation of new companies with new, innovative product offerings. Current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products 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 PRODUCTS ARE COMPLEX AND ARE OPERATED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF COMPUTER CONFIGURATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN ERRORS OR PRODUCT FAILURES.

Our software products, including our Security Software products and DocSTAR products 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 products may be installed and 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 products or may expose undetected errors, failures or bugs in our products. 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 shipments. Errors, failures or bugs in our products could result in negative publicity, product returns, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products 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 product licensing, 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.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

BY FURTHER INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK THAT WERE SOLD INTO THE MARKET IN OUR PRIVATE OFFERING , THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DROP SIGNIFICANTLY, EVEN IF OUR BUSINESS IS DOING WELL.

On February 4, 2004, we completed two private placement financings in which we sold to the selling stockholders an aggregate of 5,360,370 shares of our common stock. We agreed to register for resale the common stock issued in the financing, which registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All of these shares of common stock are presently freely saleable. Sales of these shares in the public market, or the perception that future sales of these shares could occur, could have the effect of lowering the market price of our common stock below current levels and make it more difficult for us and our shareholders to sell our equity securities in the future. The principal terms and conditions of the financing are set forth in (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 28, 2004 and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated January 28, 2004, each of which has been filed as an exhibit a Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 5, 2004. You are encouraged to review the full text of these documents.

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, 2005 traded as low as $2.32 per share and as high as $10.96 per share. 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, strategic partnerships, or joint ventures; additions or departures of key personnel;

	•	the introduction of competitive products by existing or new competitors;

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

	•	reduced demand for any given product; and

	•	sales of our common stock.

In addition, the stock market in general, and companies whose stock is listed on The Nasdaq National 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.

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.

As of June 30, 2005, there were outstanding the following options and warrants:

	•	Stock options to purchase an aggregate of 4,234,498 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.75 to $18.20 per share, not all of which are immediately exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is $5.31.

	•	Immediately exercisable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,276,314 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.50 to $20.00 per share. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding warrants is $5.88.

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. 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.

WE HAVE SOLD RESTRICTED SHARES WHICH MAY DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE WHEN THEY ARE SELLABLE UNDER RULE 144.

As of June 30, 2005, there were 1,928,867 shares of restricted common stock currently outstanding which may be deemed “restricted securities” as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, and in the future, may be sold pursuant to a registration under the Act, in compliance with Rule 144 under the Act, or pursuant to another exemption. Rule 144 provides, that, in general, a person holding restricted securities for a period of one year may, every three months thereafter, sell in brokerage transactions an amount of shares which does not exceed the greater of one percent of our then outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity limitations by a person who is not an affiliate of ours and was not an affiliate at any time during the 90 day period prior to sale and who has satisfied a two year holding period. Sales of our common stock by certain present stockholders under Rule 144 may, in the future, have a depressive effect on the market price of our securities. In addition, the sale of shares by officers and directors and other affiliated shareholders may also have a depressive effect on the market for our securities.

WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

At June 30, 2005, the date of our most recent fiscal year end, we had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLS”) for federal income tax purposes of approximately $65,000,000 available to offset future taxable income. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, utilization of prior NOLS is limited after an ownership change, as defined in Section 382, to an annual amount equal to the value of the corporation's outstanding stock immediately before the date of the ownership change multiplied by the federal long-term exempt tax rate. Use of our NOLS could also be limited as a result of grants of stock options under stock option plans and other events. In the event we achieve profitable operations, any significant limitation on the utilization of NOLS would have the effect of increasing our current tax liability.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

Our executive offices and production facilities are located at 2165 Technology Drive, Schenectady, New York 12308. We own the 26,000 square foot building in Schenectady.

In June 1999, we completed construction of a new office and production facility in Schenectady, New York for approximately $2,300,000. We were awarded a grant totaling $1,000,000 from the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) (an agency of New York state) to be used towards the construction of the facility. The grant stipulated that we were obligated to achieve certain annual employment levels between January 1, 2002 and January 1, 2004 or some or all of the grant will have to be repaid. Although we did not achieve the agreed upon employment levels, we entered into an agreement with the ESDC regarding the repayment of the grant award. Beginning September 2003, we agreed to repay $268,000 of the grant amount at the rate of $10,000 per month, interest free. As a result of this arrangement, we recognized $732,000 of the deferred grant as other income during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The remaining $268,000 of the grant amount was reclassified to long-term debt. During fiscal 2005, we repaid $120,000 of this amount. The remainder of the financing for the new facility, totaling approximately $1.4 million, was provided by a local financial institution in the form of a mortgage loan. We repaid the full amount of the mortgage in March 2004.

The executive offices of our Authentidate subsidiary are currently located at 225 Liberty Street, 2 World Financial Center, 43rd Floor, New York, New York 10281. Authentidate leases approximately 5,870 square feet pursuant to an underlease entered into in October, 2000. The lease term expires on March 29, 2006. We paid an annual rent of $278,825 for the first 33 months of the lease term and pay an annual rent of $308,175 during the balance of the lease term.

On July 11, 2005, we entered into a lease agreement for general office space consisting of 19,695 total rentable square feet located at Connell Corporate Center III, Three Connell Drive, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey 07922. The lease is for a term of ten years and four months, with an anticipated commencement date of October 1, 2005. Starting on the commencement date, we will be entitled to occupy the premises on a rent-free basis for four months and for an additional two months thereafter is entitled to occupy a portion of the premises on a rent-free basis. The annual rent in the first year will be $323,544 and increasing to $512,070 in year 2 and increasing at regular intervals until year 10 when the annual rent will be $561,308. The lease also provides us with a right of first offer on available space on the fifth floor of Connell Corporate Center III as well as a one-time option to renew the lease for a term of five years at the then-current market rate for comparable buildings. We also have an option to terminate the lease five years and four month 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 $568,202.

The executive offices of our subsidiary Authentidate International, AG are located at Gro(beta)enbaumer Weg 6, 404072 Dusseldorf. Authentidate International leases approximately 669 square meters pursuant to a lease agreement which expires May 31, 2007. Authentidate International has an option to extend the lease for additional one-year terms. Currently, Authentidate International pays an annual rent of approximately $130,000.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are the defendant in a third party complaint filed by Shore Venture Group, LLC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The caption of this matter is Berwyn Capital Investments, Inc. v. Shore Venture Group, LLC et al. (defendants and Shore Venture Group, LLC as third party plaintiff) v. Authentidate Holding Corp. and Authentidate, Inc. (third party defendants). The third party complaint was filed against us on May 7, 2001. Shore Venture is the defendant to an action commenced by Berwyn Capital. The third party complaint alleges a claim for breach of contract and seeks indemnification. A trial was held in October, 2002 and we are currently awaiting the verdict of the judge. Management believes that the claim will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, no assurances can be given that such belief will ultimately prove to be accurate or that other facts adverse to our position currently not known to management will not be uncovered, in which case the ultimate resolution of this claim could potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We are also the defendant in a case filed by Shore Venture Group, LLC in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, under the caption Shore Venture Group, LLC, et al v. Authentidate Holding Corp., Authentidate, Inc. and John T. Botti. This complaint was filed on March 2, 2005, and an amended complaint was filed on or about April 26, 2005. The plaintiffs in this case seek additional shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, Authentidate, Inc., the right to exchange its stock in Authentidate, Inc., for publicly traded stock and securities in us, rights under one or more of our patent applications and damages in connection with an alleged copyright infringement. Prior to the commencement of this case, we had conducted extensive settlement negotiations with Shore Venture in an effort to resolve all claims between the parties. However, negotiations did not result in a mutually agreeable settlement. The lawsuit requests damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys' fees. We intend to defend the action vigorously. Based on the facts of which we are currently aware, management believes that the resolution of all of our claims with Shore Venture will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. However, no assurances can be given that such belief will ultimately prove to be accurate or that other facts adverse to our position currently not known to management will not be uncovered, in which case the ultimate resolution of this claim could potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

In June, July 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 officers and directors. Plaintiffs in these actions allege that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 11, 12(a), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities law claims are based on the allegation that we failed to disclose that the USPS could cancel its August 2002 contract with us if we did not meet certain performance metrics, and when we disclosed in 2005 that the USPS could cancel its contract because we had not met those performance metrics, the market price of our stock declined. The class action complaints seek unspecified monetary damages. Certain plaintiffs and purported shareholders have filed motions seeking to consolidate the class actions and to be appointed as lead plaintiff under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. A hearing on these motions is scheduled for October 5, 2005. A response to the complaints is not due until after the court has ruled on plaintiffs' motions and an amended consolidated complaint has been filed; the date for filing any such consolidated pleadings has not yet been set by the court.

In addition to the class action complaints, four purported shareholder derivative actions were filed against certain former and current directors and officers of the company in June and July 2005 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The derivative actions are based on substantially the same events and factual allegations as the class actions and assert 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 seek, 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 have entered into a stipulation providing for the consolidation of their actions and the selection of a lead plaintiff and lead counsel, and setting a schedule for the filing of a consolidated complaint and subsequent motions. The stipulation is subject to court approval.

On July 13, 2005, a purported shareholder of our company wrote a letter to the Board of Directors demanding that the directors cause the company to commence an action against those directors and officers who the shareholder asserts are allegedly responsible for causing the company to make supposedly false and misleading statements about revenue the company expected to derive from the USPS contract. The letter states that if such an action is not commenced the shareholder will commence a derivative action. The Board of Directors expects to determine and communicate its response to the shareholder's demand in the near future.

In addition, in August 2005, we were notified of the filing of a complaint in which the plaintiff alleges that our products and systems incorporating secure time stamping technology, including but not limited to our Electronic Postmark system, infringes certain of the plaintiff's patent rights. The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and is entitled TimeCertain LLC vs. Authentidate Holding Corporation, Authentidate, Inc. and NCipher Inc. As relief, the complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief and damages. The complaint has not yet been served, and the notification included a request to initiate settlement discussions prior to service of the complaint. We are assessing the situation and the patents being asserted, and have not yet responded to this notification. Management is unable to determine at this time whether this claim will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

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 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of our security holders through solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the last quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Upon the effectiveness of our public offering on May 13, 1992, our common stock commenced trading in the over-the-counter market and was listed on the SmallCap Market of the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “BTWS.” In April, 2000 we commenced trading on the Nasdaq National Market. Our common stock currently trades on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “ADAT.” The following is the range of high and low closing prices for our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the periods indicated below:

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not paid any dividends upon our common stock since our inception. We do not expect to pay any dividends upon our common stock in the foreseeable future and plan to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Further, our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock with a preferential right to dividends. We are obligated to pay dividends on or our outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock as follows:

•	28,000 presently outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock which have the right to receive dividends equal to an annual rate of 10% of the issue price payable on a semi-annual basis.

SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

All sales of unregistered securities we made during the 2005 fiscal year were previously reported on our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2004, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 and/or Current Reports on Form 8-K during such period.

REPURCHASE OF EQUITY SECURITIES

We did not repurchase any of our equity securities during the 2004 fiscal year.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Authentidate Holding Corp. is a holding company which operates its software, hardware and services business in three segments:

	•	The Document Management Solutions Segment, formerly known as the DocStar(TM) Division. This segment develops, assembles and sells document imaging systems and software products.

	•	The Security Software Solutions Segment (formerly known as the Authentidate Segment and consisting of Authentidate, Trac Medical Solutions and Authentidate International AG) develops and sells authentication and security software products and services.

	•	The System Integration Segment, formerly known as DJS Marketing Group which sells and integrates computer system, peripheral equipment and provides professional network and computer solution services.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we derived approximately $6.8 million in revenue from our Document Management Solutions Segment; $3.8 million from our Security Software Solutions Segment and $7.0 million from our Systems Integration Segment, respectively.

The Systems Integration Segment is an authorized sales and support provider for software products such as Microsoft Solutions and Lotus Notes. This Segment also sells computer hardware and provides software and integration services to businesses to meet their data management needs, primarily in the Albany, NY region.

The Document Management Solutions Segment develops and sells document imaging software nationwide and depending on the customer, may bundle the software with computer hardware to offer customers a turn-key solution or may sell the software alone with no computer systems.

The Security Software Solutions Segment is engaged in the business of providing end users with security software technology and services designed to accept and store a digital code which enables users to prove the authenticity of the date, time and the content of any electronic document. The product was released for sale in May, 2001. We believe that product integration development work will be necessary for some applications or customers. In April 2005, we launched a new service to authenticate and verify documents received by fax.

On July 31, 2002, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with the United States Postal Service to serve as the preferred provider of the USPS Electronic Postmark® (EPM) service. Under the terms of the agreement, our Authentidate, Inc. subsidiary provides the management, technology and support for the United States Postal Service's EPM system. The USPS is the vendor of the EPM to the end user. The USPS Electronic Postmark® provides evidence that the content of a document or file existed at a specific date and time and is intended to protect the integrity of the document or file by ensuring that it cannot be altered without detection. The EPM uses our patent pending technology offering highly sophisticated encryption methodology ensuring document authenticity and is intended to be able to be added to any application regardless of the computing platform or operating system. During the 2005 fiscal year, we implemented a solutions-based approach to accelerate development of the market for the USPS EPM and in May 2005, we announced that the United States Postal Service approved an updated version of the USPS EPM service.

To date, we have not achieved the revenue metrics required under our agreement with the United States Postal Service. As previously reported, we received a letter from the USPS in September 2004, which letter stated that we had six months to cure our nonperformance of the metric standard described in such letter. We began negotiating with the Postal Service to complete a modification of this metric and in December 2004 believed that we cured the default. Despite those actions, on May 23, 2005, the United States Postal Service notified us that we had failed to attain the performance metrics required by the Strategic Alliance Agreement during the period February 2005 through April 2005. In its notice, the Postal Service has advised us that although it intends to exercise its right to terminate the Strategic Alliance Agreement if we are unable to cure this default, it is willing to discuss further plans that we may have to attain the performance metrics in the Strategic Alliance Agreement. We have continued our efforts to cure the default claimed by the USPS and to modify the Alliance Agreement. No assurances, however, can be given that we will be successful in completing these negotiations or that we will comply with the current performance metric in a timely manner. If we are unsuccessful in either of these tasks, the Postal Service may terminate the agreement.

We have recently undergone significant changes in senior management, with the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President – Chief Administrative Officer during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. On January 20, 2005, our shareholders elected two new members to the Board of Directors. We are continuing to address the challenges of the markets in which the Security Software Solutions Segment operates, while continuing to grow the established businesses, the Document Management Solutions Segment and the Systems Integration Segment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements include the accounts of Authentidate Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Equity investments where we do not exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method.

Back to Contents

Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities not exceeding three months when purchased to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, cash equivalents were composed primarily of investments in high quality short term investments such as commercial paper and overnight interest bearing deposits.

Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities are generally comprised of auction rate securities. These investments are generally rated AAA or AA by one or more national rating agencies. The auction rate securities have contractual maturities of up to 30 years. The auction rate securities that we invest in generally have interest re-set dates that occur every 7 and 28 days and despite the long-term nature of their stated contractual maturity, we have the ability to quickly liquidate these securities at ongoing auctions every 28 days or less. We classify our investments in auction rate securities as “available for sale.” These investments are recorded at cost which approximates fair market value due to their variable interest rates, which typically reset every 7 or 28 days. As a result, we had no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains (losses) or gross realized gains (losses) from our current investments. All income generated from these current investments was recorded as interest income. Because we do not hold any one auction rate security longer than one year, they have been classified as a current asset.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represents receivables net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued at average cost.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets including property and equipment, software development costs, patent costs, trademarks and licenses are reviewed for impairment 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.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment (including assets held under capital leases) are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are determined using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the assets range from three to forty years.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the applicable costs and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized.

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 equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining economic life of the related products (generally three years). These expenses are included in cost of sales.

Back to Contents

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 in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed and collectibility is reasonably assured. Service revenue is recognized as services are provided. We enter into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements. These arrangements may include combinations of software licensing, post-contract customer support, software upgrades, transactions, set-up fees, hosting fees and credentialing fees. 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; and if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered items, 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 or based on fair value of each element if they are not sold separately which is referred to as vendor specific objective evidence or VSOE.

Our Document Solutions Segment has significant revenue from multiple element arrangements. Docstar sales include computer systems with loaded software (including the perpetual software license) as one deliverable and Docstar Softcare (TM) as an additional deliverable. Each of these deliverables are separately sold products and therefore have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value. In some cases the deliverable is just the software and license with no computer. Docstar Softcare is a one year post-contract customer support and upgrade product. We recognize revenue on the system and perpetual software license when the product is shipped and title to the system passes to the customer. The Softcare deliverable is considered a when-and-if-available element. Softcare revenue is recognized ratably over the one year contract. Revenue is allocated to each element based on the prices of these two elements when sold separately.

The System Integration Segment revenue is mainly derived from the sale of computer hardware and does not generally involve multiple elements. Revenue is recognized when the hardware is shipped and title passes to the customer. This segment also has professional services revenue and this revenue is recognized when the services are completed and accepted by the customer. In some cases this segment may have a multiple element transaction when professional services and hardware are both sold to the customer. The hardware revenue is recognized when it is shipped to the customer and the professional services portion is recognized when the services are completed and accepted by the customer. Revenue for each element is allocated based on the sales price we charge for these elements when sold separately (VSOE).

Back to Contents

The Security Software Solutions Segment may have multiple element sales and the separate elements may include licensing, maintenance, set-up, support, transaction fees and hosting services. Our Trac Medical subsidiary generally enters into sales contracts of one year. These contracts, which require customer set-up, may contain elements including software hosting, licensing, credentialing, transaction and post-contract customer support elements. Additionally, these contracts contain a prepaid transaction element and any unused transactions may be carried over, provided the customer renews the contract for another year. As this service/product is new, there is no evidence of value for any element, VSOE has not been established. Additionally, under these arrangements, all elements of the contract are being provided and/or accessed by the customer over our hosting site on a monthly basis over the estimated term of the contract. Therefore, revenue is deferred until set-up is complete and then recognized ratably over the estimated term of the contract.

With regard to our Authentidate Inc. product, the Electronic Post Mark (EPM), revenue is recognized on the sale of EPMs to the USPS as EPMs are used by the end-user customer. With regard to our Authentidate AG subsidiary some revenue contracts may involve multiple element arrangements and because the elements cannot be separated into more than one unit of accounting the revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the contract which is generally one year. The multiple elements may include license fees, support fees, professional services, time stamp fees and maintenance fees. Authentidate AG may also receive revenue from professional services (without other elements) and such revenue is recognized as the professional services are completed and accepted by the customer.

Warranty Provisions

We provide a one-year warranty on hardware products it assembles in its Document Management Solutions Segment. On products distributed for other manufacturers, the original manufacturer warranties the product. Warranty expense was not significant to any of the years presented.

Advertising Expenses

We recognize advertising expenses as incurred.

Product Development Expenses

These costs represent research and development expense and include salary and benefits, professional and consultant fees, amortization of licenses and supplies.

Currency Translation Adjustment

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date generally and the income statements are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating non-U.S. currency financial statements are recorded in “Comprehensive Income (Loss)” and accumulated in shareholders' equity in the caption “Accumulated Comprehensive Income (Loss)”.

Back to Contents

Estimates and Assumptions

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Examples include estimates of loss contingencies and product life cycles and 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 impairments are other-than-temporary. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates 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 income, and in certain situations, could have a material adverse effect on liquidity and our financial condition.

With regard to revenue recognition, revenue from the sale of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed and collectibility is reasonably assured. Service revenue is recognized as such services are provided. We enter into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements. Those arrangements include combinations of licensing, transactions, set-up, maintenance, support and hosting services. Multiple-element transactions 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 (a) the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand alone basis; (b) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item; and (c) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the delivered item is considered probable and substantially within 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.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We write down inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. We make estimates on the future recoverability of capitalized goodwill in the Security Software Solutions Segment which is highly dependent on the future success of the marketing and sales of this segment. We record a valuation allowance gainst deferred tax assets when we believe it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

We apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25) in accounting for our stock option plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in our financial statements for stock options under any of the stock plans which on the date of grant the exercise price per share was equal to or exceeded the fair value per share. However, compensation cost has been recognized for warrants granted to non-employees for services provided.

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal Year 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year 2004

We realized a consolidated net loss of approximately $19.2 million ($.57 per share) and $15.7 million ($.59 per share) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

As reported in Footnote 18 (Segment Information) to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in this Form 10-K, the net loss is the result of losses incurred primarily by the our Security Software Solutions Segment. Our Security Software Solutions Segment has incurred significant sales, marketing, development and general and administrative expenses this year and last in an effort to complete the product development efforts, to generate sales, and to develop a market for its products. Additionally, we incurred consulting costs related to the documentation and testing of the internal control environment as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The consolidated net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 is approximately $3.5 million higher than fiscal year 2004. There was an increase in the loss in the Security Software Solutions Segment of approximately $3.4 million comparing fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 2004 (note 18). The increase was primarily due to increased personnel costs ($1.8 million), consulting expense ($2.0 million) and long-lived asset impairment charges of approximately $500,000 in the current year, offset by additional gross profit from increases in sales. The Document Solutions Segment profit decreased approximately $70,000, primarily due increased selling, general and administrative expenses, offset for the most part by an increase in sales and resulting gross profit. The Systems Integration Segment profit decreased approximately $303,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 due to a decrease in sales and also due to facility closing and moving expenses of approximately $162,000. We had approximately $5.1 million in non-cash interest expense related to conversions of debentures (see Note 19) during fiscal year 2004 (corporate expenses); we had no such expense in fiscal year 2005. The Corporate Division incurred new severance costs of $1.4 million, while incurring minor severance expenses in the prior year. The Corporate division also incurred goodwill impairment charges of $4.3 million related to the Security Software Solutions Segment in fiscal year 2005 versus $1.2 million in the prior year related to the Systems Integration Segment.

Consolidated net sales were approximately $17.6 million and $19.2 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease versus the prior year is the result of a decrease in the Systems Integration Segment of $4.6 million, mainly as a result of a one-time large sale of $3.0 million in 2004 which did not occur again in 2005. The sales decline in the Systems Integration Segment was offset by an increase in Security Software Solutions Segment sales of approximately $2.4 million comparing current year to prior year. Sales for the Document Management Solutions Segment increased approximately $521,000 comparing current year to prior year.

Back to Contents

Consolidated gross profit for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $8.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the increase in gross profit in the Security Software Segment of approximately $1.7 million, which is a result of the aforementioned sales increase on a year over year basis. The Document Solutions also had an increase in gross profit of about $441,000 while Systems Integration had a decline of approximately $414,000.

The consolidated gross profit margin was 48.7% and 35.5% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Gross profit margin is defined as gross profit as a percentage of sales. The increase comparing current year to prior year is a result of increased gross profit in the Security Software Solutions Segment and the Systems Integration Segment. The Document Solutions Segment also benefited from a minor gross profit increase.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A) consist of all other of our expenses except product development costs, goodwill impairment and interest. S,G&A expenses amounted to $21.5 million and $14.0 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The largest increase was in the Security Software Solutions Segment which incurred increased personnel costs ($1.8 million), along with additional consulting costs ($2.0 million) comparing fiscal year 2005 to 2004. The Corporate Division also had new severance costs of $1.4 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

As a percentage of net sales, S,G&A costs were 122.4% and 72.9% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This percentage increase is primarily due to the increase in S,G&A expenses for the Security Software Solutions Segment as discussed above.

Impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets was approximately $4.8 million and $1.2 million for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We completed our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2005, using a discounted cash flow model for all reporting units, and determined that a write-off of goodwill and other long-lived assets of $4.8 million was required. The impairment charge resulted from our analysis that sales and income growth during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 were not as great as originally anticipated thus reducing expectations of growth for the next year compared to similar analysis conducted in the past. With regard to the $4.8 million impairment charge, $4.3 million was in the Corporate division and related to the Security Software Solution Segment. The remaining balance of approximately $500,000 was an impairment charge in the Security Software Solutions Segment relating to its long-lived assets. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the tests determined that a write-off of goodwill of $1.2 million was required in the Corporate division related to the Systems Integration Segment. The impairment charge for the Systems Integration Segment was required due to the slow-down in the technology sector growth causing the Systems Integration Segment's 2004 operating results to fall short of management's expectations.

Interest expense was approximately $16,000 and $6.2 million for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease is due to non-cash interest expense on convertible debentures which were written off due to conversion to common stock which occurred in fiscal 2004, which is more fully discussed in the footnotes contained herein and due to interest expense from the building mortgage which was paid off in the third quarter of fiscal 2004.

Product development expenses, excluding capitalized costs, primarily relate to software development for the Security Software Solutions Segment. These costs increased to $3.1 million in 2005, as compared to $2.4 million in 2004. We have a policy of capitalizing qualified software development costs after technical feasibility has been established and amortizing those costs over three years as cost of goods sold. The amortization expense of software development costs amounted to approximately $402,000 and $291,000 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Back to Contents

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, interest and other income increased to approximately $1,678,000 as compared to $1,304,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The $374,000 increase was due to an increase in interest income on marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we recognized approximately $732,000 in non-cash grant income while no grant income was recognized in fiscal 2005.

Fiscal Year 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year 2003

We realized a consolidated net loss of $15.7 million ($.59 per share) and $9.8 million ($.50 per share) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

As reported in Footnote 18 (Segment Information) to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in this Form 10-K, the net loss is the result of losses incurred primarily by our Security Software Solutions Segment and from corporate expenses, primarily interest expense. Our Security Software Solutions Segment has incurred significant sales, marketing, development and general administrative expenses in 2004 and 2003 in an effort to complete the product development efforts and generate sales.

Our consolidated net loss is $5.8 million more in 2004 as compared to 2003. The Document Solutions Segment reported an increase in profit from $797,000 in 2003 to $848,000 in 2004 and the Systems Integration Segment realized an increase in profit from $147,000 in 2003 to $265,000 in 2004. The Security Software Solutions Segment, which includes Authentidate, Authentidate International and Trac Medical Solutions, reported a decrease in segment losses from $6.0 million in 2003 to $5.6 million in 2004.

Consolidated net sales were $19.2 million and $25.3 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As reported in Footnote 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, most of the decrease is due to a decrease in sales realized by the Systems Integration Segment. The decrease in the Systems Integration Segment's sales from $17.1 million to $11.6 million was primarily the result of a decrease in low-margin direct hardware sales this year compared to last year. One customer represented approximately 36% of the Systems Integration Segment's net sales for fiscal 2004. Sales also increased in the Security Software Solutions Segment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 by $4,000. The Document Solutions Segment sales decreased $507,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 2003 due to the fact that the Document Solutions Segment had fewer system sales but more software sales, which have a lower average selling price.

Consolidated gross profit for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $6.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively. This increase is due primarily to the decrease in the cost of sales experienced by the Document Solutions Segment.

Our consolidated gross profit margin was 35.5% and 24.2% for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Systems Integration Segment realized an increase in profit margins compared to last year due to the decrease in direct hardware sales, discussed above, as we sold fewer low margin computers and peripheral devices. The Systems Integration Segment realized a gross profit margin of 15.8% in 2004 compared to 11.8% in 2003. There was also an increase in gross profit margins for the Document Solutions Segment during the 2004 fiscal year. The Document Solution Segment's gross profit margin increased from 64.2% to 72.8% from 2003 to 2004. This increase is due to reduced direct material costs due to better purchasing and a general reduction in component parts throughout the computer industry and reduction in direct labor because of a strategic shift in the business away from hardware and into software-only sales. The Security Software Solutions Segment realized a gross profit of $410,000 in 2004 compared to a gross loss of $270,000 in 2003 due to an increase in sales at Authentidate International. Gross profit margin is defined as gross profit as a percentage of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A) consist of all our other expenses except product development costs and interest. S,G&A expenses amounted to $14.0 million and $12.6 million for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase in S,G&A expenses is primarily the result of increased selling costs in the Security Software Solutions Segment, including personnel and advertising.

As a percentage of sales, S,G&A costs were 72.9% and 49.8% for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This percentage increase is primarily due to the increase in selling costs, discussed above.

Product development expenses, excluding capitalized costs, primarily relate to software development for the Security Software Solutions Segment. These costs were $2.4 million and $2.5 million for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We have a policy of capitalizing qualified software development costs after technical feasibility has been established and amortizing those costs over three years as cost of sales. The amortization expense of software development costs amounted to approximately $291,000 and $1.1 million for each of the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Goodwill impairment was $1.2 million and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We completed our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2004, using a discounted cash flow model for all reporting units, and determined that a write-off of goodwill of $1.2 million was required in the Corporate division related to the Systems Integration Segment. The Systems Integration Segment goodwill write-off was required due to the growth slow-down in the technology sector causing the Systems Integration Segment's 2004 operating results to fall short of management's expectations. As a result, we reduced the Systems Integration Segment's cash flow and operating results forecast for future periods.

Interest expense was $6.2 million and $872,000 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the non-cash of unamortized beneficial conversion feature, unamortized debt discount and unamortized deferred financing costs aggregating $5.6 million due to the conversion of an aggregate principal amount of $8,895,300 of convertible debentures to common stock, which is more fully explained in the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K. Prior to such conversion, we recognized approximately $300,000 as amortization expense for the year ended June 30, 2004. In addition, we were required to pay interest on the convertible debentures in the amount of 7% per annum which resulted in interest expense of approximately $170,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004. Finally, we incurred minor additional interest expense during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 as a result of new equipment and software leases entered into by the Security Software Solutions Segment and by the Systems Integration Segment from borrowings on its line of credit.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, interest and other income increased to $1.3 million as compared to $573,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. This $732,000 increase was primarily due to the non-cash grant income of $732,000 and an increase in interest income of approximately $450,000 earned on cash and cash equivalents. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, we recognized approximately $438,000 in other income related to the September 11, 2001 attack in New York City.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Our primary sources of funds to date have been the issuance of equity and the incurrence of third party debt. The principal balance of long-term debt at June 30, 2005 totaled $292,000, which relates to severance due to a former employee, rent payable on a discontinued facility beyond one year for the DJS subsidiary and a note payable to the Empire State Development Corporation for the repayment of a grant, as more fully described below.

In February 2004, we sold a total of 5,360,370 common shares in private placements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506, promulgated there. We realized gross proceeds of approximately $73.7 million from these transactions and received net proceeds of approximately $69.1 million after payment of offering expenses and broker commissions

Our DJS subsidiary has a $2.5 million revolving line of credit with a financial institution collateralized by all assets of DJS and guaranteed by Authentidate Holding Corp. The agreement restricts DJS from making cash advances to AHC, without obtaining a waiver from the financial institution. The interest rate is prime plus 1.75% with a minimum prime rate of 7%. DJS may borrow on this line based on a formula of qualified accounts receivable and inventory. The outstanding balance on this line of credit is approximately $430,000 at June 30, 2005.

Property, plant and equipment expenditures totaled approximately $1.3 million, capitalized software development expenditures totaled $529,000, and other intangible assets expenditures totaled $362,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005, respectively. There are no significant purchase commitments outstanding at June 30, 2005.

In June 1999, we completed construction of a new office and production facility in Schenectady, New York for approximately $2,300,000 which was financed with a $1,000,000 grant from the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) (an agency of New York state) and a mortgage loan from a local financial institution. The grant stipulated that the Company was obligated to achieve certain annual employment levels between January 1, 2002 and January 1, 2004 or some or all of the grant will have to be repaid. Although we did not achieved the agreed upon employment levels, we reached an agreement with the ESDC in fiscal 2004 to restructure the grant terms relating to this covenant. We agreed to repay $268,000 of the grant amount at the rate of $10,000 per month, interest free, in consideration of the ESDC's agreement to permanently reduce our employment level requirement to 99. At June 30, 2005 the amount due ESDC was $48,000 and is included in debt on the balance sheet. As a result of this arrangement, we recorded $732,000 as other income in the Corporate Division during fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.

Cash Flows

Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2005 was $6.4 million and total assets were $79.7 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $25.1 million and total assets of $94.2 million at June 30, 2004. We invested the excess cash in marketable securities, which totaled $56.1 million at June 30, 2005 and $48.9 million at June 30, 2004. The increase in the amount invested in marketable securities is primarily due to our desire to improve the yields it receives on its excess cash as marketable securities, mostly auction rate securities, generally yield a higher rate of return than cash equivalents such as money market funds and certificates of deposit. We used $10.6 million of cash in Operating Activities during the year ended June 30, 2005 (fiscal 2005). This compares to cash used in Operating Activities of $6.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 (fiscal 2004). Total cash flow used by all activities was $18.6 million for the fiscal 2005, compared to net cash provided of $21.6 million for fiscal 2004. This decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the year is primarily due to the fact that we received $69.6 million from proceeds from a private equity offering and $2.4 million from the sale of convertible debentures in fiscal 2004. In addition we incurred a larger net loss in fiscal 2005 ($19.2 million) than in fiscal 2004 ($15.7 million). In the Corporate division, goodwill impairment expense increased to $4.3 million in 2005 (all of which was related to the Security Software Solutions Segment) versus $1.2 million in 2004 (all of which was related to the Systems Integration Segment) as a result of our fourth quarter analysis in each respective year. In addition, we incurred an impairment charge of approximately $500,000 on long-lived assets in the Security Software Solutions Segment in fiscal 2005. With regard to Cash Flow from Investing Activities, our investing outflows for property, plant and equipment was approximately $1.0 million greater in fiscal 2005 than in fiscal 2004. We also invested $750,000 in an unaffiliated third party, Health Fusion, Inc. in connection with a strategic relationship we established with this company. We will invest an additional $750,000 in Health Fusion, provided it achieves certain financial and other performance objectives. This was offset by a reduction in the purchase in marketable securities from $48.9 million in fiscal 2004 compared to $7.2 million in fiscal 2005. With regard to Cash Flow from Financing Activities, as previously mentioned, we closed on a private equity offering ($69.6 million) and the sale of convertible notes ($2.4 million) in fiscal 2004. We also received $9.1 million from the exercise of common stock options and warrants in fiscal 2004 compared to $2.2 million in fiscal 2005.

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. Under our current operating plan to introduce our Security Software Solutions, our ability to improve operating cash flow has been highly dependent on the market acceptance of our products. 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 products;

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

	•	price discounts on our products to our customers;

	•	our pursuit of strategic transactions;

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

	•	the levels of inventory and accounts receivable that we maintain;

	•	capital improvements to new and existing facilities;

	•	technological advances; and

	•	our competitors' response to our products.

Financing Activities

We did not engage in any financing activities during the 2005 fiscal year. During the 2004 fiscal year we completed the private financings described below in order to address our working capital needs.

On September 12, 2003, we completed the sale of $2,470,000 of our securities to certain accredited investors pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D, promulgated there under. We received net proceeds of approximately $2,300,000, after paying all fees and expenses. We have applied these proceeds to working capital and general corporate purposes. In the transaction, we sold $2,470,000 of convertible debentures to the investors and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 247,000 shares of common stock. The debentures were convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.00 per share and the warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock at an initial price of $3.00 per share. The other terms and conditions of the debentures and warrants are the same as set forth in the debentures and warrants issued in the first tranche of this transaction in October 2002. As discussed below, the convertible debentures issued in this transaction were converted into shares of common stock during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. We also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 49,400 shares of common stock to certain consultants for services rendered in connection with this transaction which are exercisable at $3.00 per share. The consultants also received a cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds we received.

Further, on September 22, 2003, we completed the sale of 166,667 shares of common stock to an additional accredited investor pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D, promulgated there under for $500,000. We have applied these proceeds to working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, we also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock to the investor in this transaction. The per share purchase price of the common stock and the per share exercise price of the warrants is $3.00. The investor also agreed to a twelve-month “lock-up” provision restricting the resale of the securities, which expired in September 2004. We also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000 shares of our common stock to a consultant for services rendered in connection with this transaction which are exercisable at $3.00 per share. The consultants also received a cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds we received.

In February 2004, we completed private offerings of our common stock to certain accredited investors pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Regulation D, promulgated there under. We sold a total of 5,360,370 common shares at a price of $13.75 per share and realized gross proceeds of $73.7 million. After payment of offering expenses and broker commissions we realized approximately $69.1 million in net proceeds. We are applying the proceeds to strengthen our balance sheet, develop a back-up data center for Authentidate Inc. as well as for sales and marketing activities and general corporate purposes.

During the 2003 fiscal year we consummated various private placements pursuant to Rule 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder to address our cash needs, as described below.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, we sold an aggregate of 660,077 units of our securities, each unit comprised of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase .20 shares of common stock. The securities were offered at a purchase price of $3.03 per unit and the warrants are exercisable at $3.26 per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance. We received approximately an aggregate of $1,955,000 in net proceeds after payment of expenses. The proceeds were used to fund business development, marketing and sales efforts and general working capital needs.

In October 2002, we sold convertible debentures with a face value of $3,700,000 to institutional investors and warrants to purchase 444,000 shares of common stock. The debentures were convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.50 per share, were due three years from the date of issuance and accrued interest at the rate of 7% per annum. The warrants are exercisable for a period of four years and are initially exercisable at $2.50 per share. As discussed below, the convertible debentures issued in this transaction were converted into shares of common stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2003. The investors in this transaction granted us the option to sell another $2,470,000 of convertible debentures to the same investors provided that our common stock maintains a trading price at or above $3.00 per share for the 15 trading days preceding the election to sell additional debentures. As described above, we exercised this right in September 2003. We also issued an aggregate of 86,863 warrants to consultants for services rendered in connection with this transaction and paid them a total cash fee of $222,000. The warrants issued to the consultants are exercisable at $2.50 per share and are on terms substantially similar to the warrants issued to the investors.

In May 2003, we completed a similar sale of convertible debentures in the amount of $2,725,300 and warrants to purchase 419,279 shares of common stock to certain institutional and accredited investors. The debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.60 per share and are otherwise on the same terms as the debentures issued in October 2002. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years and 50% of the warrants are initially exercisable at $2.60 per share and the remainder is initially exercisable at $2.86 per share. As described below, the convertible debentures issued in this transaction were converted into shares of common stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2003. Mr. J. David Luce, who is a non-executive member of our board of directors and J&C Resources, LLC, an entity affiliated with Mr. Charles C. Johnston, also a non-executed member of our board, participated in this financing and each purchased $250,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures and received 38,462 common stock purchase warrants. We also issued an aggregate of 36,923 warrants to consultants for services rendered in connection with this transaction, of which fifty percent are exercisable at $2.60 per share and fifty percent are exercisable at $2.86 per shares. The consultants also received a cash fee of $96,000. These warrants are on terms substantially similar to the warrants issued to the investors.

The securities sold in each of the foregoing transactions were restricted securities under the terms of Regulation D and may not be transferred or resold for a period of one year, except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an exemption there under. Pursuant to registration rights agreements entered into with the investors in these financings, registration statements were filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the shares of common stock sold in or issuable pursuant to these transactions.

Other Matters

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

Back to Contents

During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, we exercised our right to require the holders of an aggregate amount of $8,895,300 of convertible debentures to convert the entire outstanding principal amount of their debentures into shares of our common stock. The conversion of these debentures has resulted in our issuance of an aggregate amount of 3,351,527 shares of our common stock to the holders of the debentures. The specific debentures subject to this conversion requirement are an aggregate principal amount of $3,700,000 of convertible debentures issued in October 2002, an aggregate principal amount of $2,725,300 of convertible debentures issued in May 2003 and an aggregate principal amount of $2,470,000 of convertible debentures issued in September 2003. We expensed the debt discount as interest expense related to these debenture issues during the quarter ended December 31, 2003. During the year ended June 30, 2004 and prior to the conversions, we recognized approximately $300,000 of amortization expense related to the beneficial conversion feature and debt discount. During the year ended June 30, 2004, upon conversion, we expensed the entire balance of unamortized beneficial conversion feature and debt discount and charged approximately $5.1 million to interest expense, all of which is a non cash interest charge. In addition, we expensed all unamortized deferred financing costs related to these three debenture issues during the year ended June 30, 2004, in the amount of approximately $500,000 as interest expense. We will save approximately $623,000 in interest payments annually as a result of these conversions.

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 the outstanding 28,000 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 June 30, 2005, no shares of the Series B Preferred Stock have been redeemed.

In April 2003, our audit committee approved our plan to repurchase the shares of Series A Preferred Stock from our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for a total price of $850,000. This price was at a discount from the appraised value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of $1.1 million, as determined by an independent appraisal and valuation firm. The purchase was consummated in June 2003 and at the closing, $70,000 was paid in cash, $485,000 was offset against loans owed to us by our former Chief Executive Officer and the remainder was payable in monthly installments of $15,000, without interest, beginning in July 2003. In July 2004, our board approved the repayment of the outstanding balance in full.

Effective March 18, 2003, we acquired the remaining outstanding shares of capital stock of our subsidiary, Trac Medical Solutions, Inc., previously held by four other shareholders. Prior to the acquisition, we owned 85.8% of the outstanding stock of Trac Medical. In the transaction, we issued an aggregate of 130,000 shares of our common stock to the sellers, and also issued to the sellers who will continue as employees of Trac Medical 20,000 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the closing date of the transaction. In addition, these sellers were eligible to receive up to an aggregate of 75,000 additional shares of our common stock in the event that Trac Medical achieved certain sales and income targets during the twelve month period ending September 30, 2003. Further, these persons were eligible to earn up to 525,000 additional bonus options in fiscal year 2005 if certain sales and income targets were met. These targets were not satisfied and no additional equity compensation was earned.

We are also the defendant in a case filed by Shore Venture Group, LLC in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, under the caption Shore Venture Group, LLC, et al v. Authentidate Holding Corp., Authentidate, Inc. and John T. Botti. This complaint was filed on March 2, 2005, and an amended complaint was filed on or about April 26, 2005. The plaintiffs in this case seek additional shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, Authentidate, Inc., the right to exchange its stock in Authentidate, Inc., for publicly traded stock and securities in us, rights under one or more of our patent applications and damages in connection with an alleged copyright infringement. The lawsuit requests damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys' fees. We intend to defend the action vigorously. Based on the facts of which we are currently aware, management believes that the resolution of all of our claims with Shore Venture will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. However, no assurances can be given that such belief will ultimately prove to be accurate or that other facts adverse to our position currently not known to management will not be uncovered, in which case the ultimate resolution of this claim could potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

As described above, between June and August 2005, several purported shareholder class and derivative actions were filed against our company and certain current and former officers and directors. The complaints and current status of these actions are described in detail under the caption “Item 3. Legal Proceedings,” appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management is unable to determine at this time whether these complaints will have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

On August 25, 2005, we became aware of an action filed against us entitled TimeCertain LLC vs. Authentidate Holding Corporation, Authentidate, Inc. and NCipher Inc. The plaintiff in this matter has claimed that our products and systems incorporating secure time-stamping technology infringes certain of its patent rights. We are reviewing this complaint and intend to vigorously contest this action. Management is unable to determine at this time whether these complaints will have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

As we previously announced, effective November 15, 2004, John T. Botti no longer serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Mr. Botti subsequently retired from his position as Chairman of the Board and on February 7, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Release with Mr. Botti. Under that agreement, we agreed to pay to Mr. Botti the severance payments as set forth in his July 1, 2003 employment agreement and agreed to retain him to provide consulting services to us for a period of one year. Our severance obligations to Mr. Botti are described in greater detail below under the caption “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements.” Under the consulting agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Botti a monthly retainer of $10,000 in consideration of his provision of such services as may be requested by our Chief Executive Officer. The severance benefits have been accrued and are expected to be paid over the next two years.

In addition, as we previously announced effective December 31, 2004, Mr. Peter Smith no longer serves as our Executive Vice President – Chief Operating Officer. On February 8, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Release with Mr. Smith and agreed to pay him a severance payment equal to his base salary for a period of up to twelve months. Our severance obligations to Mr. Smith are described in greater detail below under the caption “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements.” The benefits have been accrued for in the second quarter and are expected to be paid over the next three to nine months.

On November 23, 2004, we invested $750,000 in an unaffiliated third party, Health Fusion, Inc. in connection with a strategic relationship we established with this company. We will invest an additional $750,000 in Health Fusion, contingent on Health Fusion achieving certain financial and other performance objectives.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

Following is a summary of the contractual commitments associated with our debt and lease obligations, as well as our accrued severance as of June 30, 2005:

			PAYMENT DUE BY PERIOD

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS*	TOTAL		LESS THAN 1 YEAR		1-3 YEARS		3-5 YEARS		MORE THAN 5 YEARS

Long-term Debt Obligations	$	48,000	$	48,000	$	0	$	0	$	0

Operating Lease Obligations	$	780,979	$	562,701	$	218,278	$	0	$	0

Capital Lease Obligations	$	30,315	$	26,210	$	4,105	$	0	$	0

Total	$	859,294	$	636,911	$	222,383	$	0	$	0

* We have certain royalty commitments associated with the sale and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is generally based on a percentage of underlying revenues which we may derive from our products. At June 30, 2005 royalty liability was immaterial.

On December 6, 2004, we assumed certain assets and liabilities of Cryptcom Securities Inc. for a purchase price of $125,000. We will be obligated to pay an additional $425,000 to former shareholders of Cryptcom Securities Inc. in the event our operation of the acquired assets generate certain financial measures by December 31, 2006. Additionally, we will be required to pay an “earn out” equal to a percentage of net income based on the performance of this division commencing on the earlier of December 6, 2007 or the fiscal year immediately following the fiscal year during which the additional purchase price, $425,000, has been earned, and following for a term of five years from either date.

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 June 30, 2005, 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. However, price deflation in the major categories of components we purchase for our Document Management Solutions Segment has been substantial and is anticipated to continue through fiscal 2005. Typically, new components such as new generations of microprocessors and new optical disk drive technologies etc. are introduced at premium prices, by its vendors. During this period, we earn lower margins on our products. As the life cycle progresses competitive pressures could force vendor prices down and thus improve our profit margins. Competitive pressures from an evolving document imaging industry have required us to adjust our marketing model for selling DocStar systems to accommodate a lower entry point. Because much of the System Integration Segments business is service-related, price deflation has less of an impact on System Integration profits. We do not believe that the impact of inflation will have a significant impact on our Security Software Solutions Segment business lines.

PRESENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

In June 2005, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements” (“EITF 05-6”). The guidance requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. We do not believe that the adoption of EITF 05-6 will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

In May 2005, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections–a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”. This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. We do not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB revised FAS No. 123 and issued FAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment. Beginning in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 the statement requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense associated with share-based payments to employees and directors in the financial statements based on their fair values. We adopted FAS 123R on July 1, 2005 and are applying the provisions of the statement prospectively for any newly issued, modified or settled award after the date of initial adoption, as well as for any awards that were granted prior to the adoption date for which the requisite service has not been provided as of the adoption date. We intend to continue to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate total stock compensation expense. We expect that the total stock compensation expense in 2006 will be material and similar to the 2005 and 2004 pro-forma stock compensation expense, depending on the number and terms of new options granted, the exercise of existing options, the expected volatility, expected life, the dividend yield and risk free rate of return in the future.

Back to Contents

In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 Accounting for Non-monetary transactions. This Statement revises Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The provisions of this Statement shall be effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of FAS No. 153 to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS No. 151, Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement revises the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. This standard becomes effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of FAS No. 151 to have a material effect on our financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have approximately $63 million invested in high quality, short term investments as of June 30, 2005. We do not believe that any of our financial instruments have significant risk associated with market sensitivity. 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-U.S. 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 June 30, 2005, our unrestricted cash and marketable securities totaled $62.5 million, most of which was invested in auction rate securities and money market accounts. The remainder of our cash was in non-interest bearing checking accounts used to pay operating expenses.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer 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.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005. In making this evaluation, management used the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2005. Management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005 has been audited by Eisner LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, and they have issued an attestation report on management's assessment of the company's internal control over financial reporting which is included in “Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated whether any change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. As previously reported, on April 15, 2005, our Chief Financial Officer advised certain members of our Board of Directors of the existence of corporate governance issues, which he believes if not corrected, may lead to significant problems in the future. In response to the letter of the Chief Financial Officer, and to assist in the determination of whether the issues raised warrant any changes to our internal controls and/or Corporate Governance Principles, our Audit Committee engaged the services of a special counsel to review the letter and report its findings to the Audit Committee. We announced on July 14, 2004 that the special counsel completed its investigation and found no errors in disclosure or violations of any laws or regulations. The special counsel did confirm certain concerns raised by the Chief Financial Officer relating potentially to future disclosures, and that these concerns had been effectively addressed by the Audit Committee promptly after receiving the letter by, among other things, realiging the reporting responsibilities of our Chief Financial Officer to ensure that the individuals that certify our Exchange Act reports report directly to each other. After receiving the special counsel’s report, the Audit Committee decided no further action was necessary. Based on that evaluation, and except as described above, management concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error 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.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

On September 7, 2005, we concluded that a non-cash impairment charge of $4.8 million associated with goodwill and other long-lived assets was required under generally accepted accounting principles for the 2005 fiscal year. We completed our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2005, using a discounted cash flow model for all reporting units, and determined that a write-off of goodwill of approximately $4.3 million in the Corporate division related to the Security Software Solutions Segment was required. In addition, the Security Software Solutions Segment recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $500,000 related to long-lived assets. The write-off resulted from our analysis that sales and income growth during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 were not as great as originally anticipated, thus reducing expectations of growth for the next year compared to similar analysis conducted in the past.

On March 23, 2005, we entered into a new employment agreement with Jan C. E. Wendenburg, who currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of our German subsidiary, Authentidate International, A.G. The agreement, which is effective as of March 15, 2005 and expires on March 31, 2007, sets forth the terms and conditions of Mr. Wendenburg's continued employment as the Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate International.

Peter R. Smith

In November 2003, we retained Peter R. Smith to serve as our Chief Operating Officer, on an at-will basis at a base salary of $250,000. Effective December 31, 2004, Mr. Smith ended his employment relationship with us. In connection with his employment arrangement with us, we are obligated to pay him a severance benefit of up to twelve months of his base salary unless he is terminated for cause.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

During our last fiscal year, our non-executive directors were compensated as follows. Each non-executive director shall receive an annual retainer of $5,000. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee will receive an additional fee of $2,500 per year and the other Audit Committee members will receive an additional fee of $500 per year. The chairs of the other committees of the Board will receive an additional annual fee of $1,500. Further, non-executive directors will receive $1,000 for each meeting of the board of directors attended in person and $500 for each meeting of the board of directors attended via conference call; $500 for each meeting of a committee of the board of directors attended in person and $250 for each meeting of a committee of the board of directors attended via conference call. Our non-executive directors will continue to receive options to purchase 10,000 shares for each year of service under the Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan and are reimbursed for expenses incurred in order to attend meetings of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to our Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan, as amended at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on March 4, 2004, non-executive directors will receive 40,000 stock options upon being elected to the Board and have the ability to purchase up to $100,000 restricted shares of our common stock at a per share purchase price of 80% of the fair market value of our common stock during the initial twelve month period following their election to the Board.

Effective January 20, 2005 our board determined to revise its cash compensation arrangements for independent directors as follows. Our non-executive directors will continue to receive equity compensation under the Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan, as amended on March 4, 2004.

	•	The annual director fee for our non-executive directors is $15,000;

In addition, our board established an advisory committee, called the Technology Advisory Committee during the 2005 fiscal year in order to render advice on our technology and product development efforts. The board appointed Mr. Ranjit C. Singh, who currently is one of our independent directors, to serve as the Chairman of this committee, and named Mr. Taher Elgamal as a member. In order to compensate members for service on this committee, the board determined that current independent board members serving on the Technology Advisory Committee shall receive the same cash compensation for service on such committee as members of other board committees. The board further resolved that members of the Technology Advisory Committee, who are neither employees nor directors of Authentidate, shall receive $1,000 per meeting as cash compensation for service on the Technology Advisory Committee and an award of 5,000 options upon joining this committee and each anniversary date of such person's service pursuant to our Non-executive Director Stock Option Plan.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

Employee Stock Option Plans

In March 2001, our shareholders approved the 2000 Employees Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) which provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. In July 2001, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares issuable upon exercise of the options granted or which may be granted under the 2000 Plan. Our shareholders were asked to adopt the 2000 Plan since there were no additional shares available for issuance under the 1992 Plan, the 1992 Plan was to expire in April 2002 and shareholder approval would have been required to increase the number of shares subject to the 1992 Plan. In March 2004, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2000 Plan to increase the number of options which we can grant pursuant to the 2000 Plan to 10,000,000 shares. The purpose of the amendment was to ensure that we will have a sufficient reserve of common stock available under the 2000 Plan to provide our employees with the continuing opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in our company.

Under the terms of the 2000 Plan and the 1992 Plan, options granted thereunder may be designated as options which qualify for incentive stock option treatment (“ISOs”) under Section 422 of the Code, or options which do not so qualify (“Non-ISOs”). As of June 30, 2005, there were outstanding an aggregate of 3,964,498 options under the 2000 Plan and 10,000 options under the 1992 Plan, with exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $9.125.

The 2000 Plan and the 1992 Plan are administered by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee designated by our Board of Directors. This committee has the discretion to:

	•	determine the eligible employees to whom, and the times and the price at which, options will be granted;

	•	whether such options shall be ISOs or Non-ISOs;

	•	the periods during which each option will be exercisable; and

	•	the number of shares subject to each option.

The Board or Committee shall have full authority to interpret the 2000 Plan and 1992 Plan and to establish and amend rules and regulations relating thereto.

Back to Contents

Under both the 2000 Plan and the 1992 Plan, the exercise price of an option designated as an ISO shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. However, in the event an option designated as an ISO is granted to a ten percent stockholder (as defined in the 2000 Plan and the1992 Plan) such exercise price shall be at least 110% of such fair market value. Exercise prices of Non-ISOs options may be less than such fair market value. The aggregate fair market value of shares subject to options granted to a participant which are designated as ISOs which become exercisable in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. The “fair market value” will be the closing NASDAQ price, or if our common stock is not quoted by NASDAQ, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or a market maker of our common stock, or if the common stock is not quoted by any of the above, by the Board of Directors acting in good faith.

Previously, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee was authorized to grant bonuses or authorize loans to or guarantee loans obtained by an optionee to enable such optionee to pay any taxes that may arise in connection with the exercise or cancellation of an option. In light of the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the committee will no longer undertake any such actions. In the past, no loans were given or guaranteed to employees to pay taxes in connection with the exercise of options granted pursuant to our employee stock option plans.

Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plans

In January, 2002, our shareholders approved the 2001 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan. Options are granted under the 2001 Director Plan until December, 2011 to (i) non-executive directors as defined and (ii) members of any advisory board we may establish who are not full-time employees of us or any of our subsidiaries. Our shareholders were asked to adopt the 2001 Director Plan since the 1992 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan, as amended, was to expire in April 2002. Similar to the 1992 Director Plan, under the 2001 Director Plan, each non-executive director will automatically be granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares upon joining the Board and an option to purchase 10,000 shares each September 1st thereafter. Unlike the 1992 Director Plan, however, the 2001 Director Plan provides that the annual non-discretionary grant of options is to be on a pro rata basis, based on the time the director has served during the previous year. The 1992 Director Plan provided for a blanket grant of 10,000 options per year. The term non-executive director refers to those of our directors who is not otherwise a full-time employee of AHC or any subsidiary. In addition, each eligible member of an advisory board will receive, upon joining the advisory board, and on each anniversary of the effective date of his appointment, an option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock.

In March 2004, our shareholders approved two amendments to the 2001 Director Plan. First, shareholders approved an amendment to the 2001 Director Plan to increase the size of the option awards to eligible directors upon being initially elected or appointed to the Board to 40,000 options. Second, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2001 Director Plan to provide that non-executive directors, upon joining the Board and for a period of one year thereafter, will be entitled to purchase restricted stock from us at a price equal to 80% of the closing price on the date of purchase up to an aggregate purchase price of $100,000.

There is no aggregate cap on the number of options which may be granted under the 2001 Director Plan. This provides us with greater flexibility in expanding the Board of Directors without having to obtain stockholder approval for additional shares under the 2001 Director Plan. Since the amount, timing and terms of options granted under the 2001 Director Plan are non-discretionary, the imposition of a cap on the number of options which may be granted under the 2001 Director Plan would only serve to increase the burden of administering the 2001 Director Plan.

As of June 30, 2005, there are outstanding 20,000 options under the 1992 Director Plan and 240,000 options outstanding under the 2001 Director Plan. The options outstanding have exercise prices ranging from $2.25 to $10.58. On September 1, 2005, we granted an aggregate of 55,000 options to our non-employee directors pursuant to the 2001 Director Plan. These options have an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

Back to Contents

The exercise price for options granted under the both the 2001 and 1992 Director Plans is 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The “fair market value” is the closing price of our common stock as reported by NASDAQ, or if our common stock is not quoted by NASDAQ, the closing bid price as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or a market maker of our common stock, or if the common stock is not quoted by any of the above by the Board of Directors acting in good faith. The exercise price of options granted under the 2001 Director Plan must be paid at the time of exercise in cash. The term of each option commences on the date it is granted and unless terminated sooner as provided in the 2001 or 1992 Director Plan, expires five years from the date of grant. The 2001 and 1992 Director Plans must be administered by either our full Board of Directors or a committee of the Board consisting of not less than two officers who are not entitled to participate in the Director Plan. The administrator has no discretion to determine which non-executive director or advisory board member will receive options or the number of shares subject to the option, the term of the option or the exercisability of the option. However, the administrator will make all determinations of the interpretation of the 2001 and 1992 Director Plans. Options granted under the 2001 and 1992 Director Plans are not qualified for incentive stock option treatment.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

The following table provides information about our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options under all of our existing equity compensation plans as of June 30, 2004 including the 1992 Employee Stock Option Plan, as amended, the 1992 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended, the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan, as amended, and the 2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended, Information concerning each of the aforementioned plans is set forth below following the caption “Shareholder Approved Option Plans.”

Consists of 4,716,939 options available for issuance pursuant to our 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan, as amended, and assumes the issuance of 360,000 options pursuant to our 2001 Director Stock Option Plan, as amended, according to the following analysis. The 2001 Director Stock Option Plan does not provide for a cap on the aggregate number of options which may be granted thereunder. All option grants under the 2001 Director Stock Option Plan are non-discretionary; each non-employee director receives an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock each September 1, pro rata, based on the length of such directors service during the preceding year. Accordingly, if the number and identity of our non-employee directors remains constant over the life of the 2001 Director Stock Option Plan, we would issue a total of 360,000 options to our non-employee directors under the 2001 Director Stock Option Plan, which number includes a total of 55,000 options issued on September 1, 2005 pursuant to the 2001 Director Stock Option Plan.

Shares of common stock subject to options exercisable within 60 days from the date of this table are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of others.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Except as disclosed herein, we have not entered into any material transactions or series of similar transactions with any director, executive officer or any security holder owning 5% or more of our Common Stock.

For information concerning employment agreements with, and compensation of, our executive officers and directors, and for information relating to the severance arrangements we agreed to with our former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Operating Officer, see the disclosure in the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K captioned “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements.”

During the 2002 fiscal year we entered into certain loan and security arrangements involving Mr. John T. Botti, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, principally relating to certain obligations to financial institutions secured by Mr. Botti's stock in AHC. We initially established these arrangements in 2001, and agreed to certain modifications in February, 2002, as follows. In January, 2001, we made a loan of $317,000 to Mr. Botti so as to enable him to avoid a margin call on the shares of AHC common stock owned by him that were held in a brokerage account as the Board of Directors believed that failing to do so would have a material adverse impact on the market price of our stock (the “2001 Loan”). The 2001 Loan was collateralized by a lien on all of the shares of AHC owned by Mr. Botti, as well as shares issuable to Mr. Botti upon the exercise of stock options granted to him. On February 14, 2002, we agreed to loan an additional amount of $203,159.07 to Mr. Botti, which loan was also collateralized by a lien on all of shares of AHC owned by Mr. Botti or issuable to him (the “2002 Loan”). The 2001 Loan earned interest at the rate of 9% per annum and was due on January 5, 2003. The 2002 Loan earned interest at the rate of 6% per annum and was being repaid in bi-weekly installments of $5,000. In June 2003, these loans were paid in full in connection with the sale to us by Mr. Botti of the 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock then owned by him. We agreed to pay Mr. Botti $850,000 for these shares. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been appraised at $1,100,000 by an independent nationally recognized appraisal and valuation firm. Payment terms were as follows: $70,000 in cash was paid at closing, $485,000 was offset against the 2002 Loan and 2001 Loan and the balance was paid in monthly installments of $15,000, without interest, beginning in July, 2003. In July 2004, our board of directors approved the repayment of the outstanding balance in full.

ITEM 14. ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

The Board of Directors of Authentidate has selected Eisner LLP, as its independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. As previously reported, we initially engaged Eisner LLP on April 28, 2005 following our dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on April 13, 2005. During the 2005 fiscal year, the audit services provided by Eisner LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP consisted of examination of financial statements, services relative to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and consultation in regard to various accounting matters. The following table presents the total fees billed for professional audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firms for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, and fees billed for other services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firms during those periods.

		FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2005		FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2004


AUDIT FEES (1)	$	248,996	$	288,000

AUDIT-RELATED FEES (2)	$	125,790	$	0

TAX FEES (3)	$	75,473	$	35,000

ALL OTHER FEES (4)	$	67,623	$	0

TOTAL	$	517,882	$	323,000


(1)	Audit services consist of audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements for the fiscal year and for the review of financial statements included in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during the fiscal year, as well as work that generally only the independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including consents for registration statement filings, responding to SEC comment letters on annual and quarterly filings and rendering comfort letter on private placement. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we expensed an aggregate of $44,700 to Eisner LLP and $204,296 to PricewaterhouseCoopers for audit fees.

(2)	Audit-related services consist of assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, agreed upon procedures report and accounting and regulatory consultations. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we expensed an aggregate of $25,000 to Eisner LLP and $76,147 to PricewaterhouseCoopers for audit-related fees. We also expensed an amount of $24,643 for audit-related services provided by Deloitte & Touche to Authentidate International.

(3)	Tax services consist of all services performed by the independent auditor's tax personnel, except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, all reported amounts were for services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

(4)	Other services consist of those service not captured in the other categories. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, all reported amounts were for services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Our Audit Committee has determined that the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firms and the fees we expensed for such services has not compromised the independence of our independent auditors.

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year's audit, management will submit a detailed description of the audit and permissible non-audit services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services described below to the Audit Committee for approval. In addition, management will also provide to the Audit Committee for its approval a fee proposal for the services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor. Prior to the engagement of the independent auditor, the Audit Committee will approve both the description of audit and permissible non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor and the budget for all such services. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent registered public accounting firm and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service.

Back to Contents

During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires separate pre-approval before engaging the independent registered public accounting firm. To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The four categories of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm are as defined in the footnotes to the fee table set forth above.

Pursuant to Section 10A (i) (2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we are responsible for listing the non-audit services approved by our Audit Committee to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Audit Committee did not pre-approve the performance of any non-audit services by Eisner LLP.

Each of the permitted non-audit services has been pre-approved by the Audit Committee or the Audit Committee's Chairman pursuant to delegated authority by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has not authorized our independent registered public accounting firm to provide any additional non-audit services.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Authentidate Holding Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Authentidate Holding Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Authentidate Holding Corp. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements referred to above, we audited Schedule II-Valuations and Qualifying Accounts. In our opinion this schedule, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information stated therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Authentidate Holding Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated September 2, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Authentidate Holding Corp.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Authentidate Holding Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Authentidate Holding Corp.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Authentidate Holding Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO. Also, in our opinion, Authentidate Holding Corp. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Authentidate Holding Corp. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended and our report dated September 2, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on these consolidated financial statements.

AUTHENTIDATE HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The financial statements include the accounts of Authentidate Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Equity investments where the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method.

CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities not exceeding three months when purchased to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, cash equivalents were composed primarily of investments in high quality short term investments such as commercial paper and overnight interest bearing deposits.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company’s marketable securities are generally comprised of auction rate securities. These investments are generally rated AAA or AA by one or more national rating agencies. The auction rate securities have contractual maturities of up to 30 years. The auction rate securities the Company invests in generally have interest re-set dates that occur every 7 or 28 days and despite the long-term nature of their stated contractual maturity, we have the ability to quickly liquidate these securities at ongoing auctions every 28 days or less. The Company classifies its investments in auction rate securities as “available for sale.” These investments are recorded at cost which approximates fair market value due to their variable interest rates, which typically reset every 7 or 28 days. As a result, the Company had no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains (losses) or gross realized gains (losses) from its current investments. All income generated from these current investments was recorded as interest income. Because the Company does not hold any one auction rate security longer than one year they have been classified as a current asset.

REVISIONS IN THE CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN SECURITIES
On the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10K/A, the Company reclassified $48,925,000 of auction rate securities from cash and cash equivalents to marketable securities on its June 30, 2004 Balance Sheet. In addition a reclass was made on the Company’s 2004 Statement of Cash Flows to present the purchase of auction rate securities as an investing activity in the amount of $48,925,000. No revisions were made to the Statement of Operations or the Statement of Shareholders’ Equity.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable represents receivables net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. Due from related parties is generally comprised of travel and other advances to employees.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued at average cost.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets including property and equipment, software development costs, patent costs, trademarks and licenses are reviewed for impairment 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.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment (including assets held under capital leases) are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are determined using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the assets range from three to forty years.

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 equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining economic life of the related products (generally three years). Software development costs capitalized during 2005, 2004 and 2003 amounted to approximately $529,000, $434,000 and $296,000, respectively. Amortization expense related to software development costs for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $402,000, $291,000 and $1,103,000, respectively. These expenses are included in cost of sales. In fiscal 2005 we recorded an impairment charge of $213,170 to Trac Medical capitalized software development costs, which is further explained below under Goodwill.

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. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company completed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2005, using a discounted cash flow model for all reporting units, and these tests resulted in a goodwill impairment charge for Authentidate, Inc. of $3,938,000 and a goodwill impairment charge of $338,000 for Trac Medical. Additionally we recorded an impairment charge to other long-term intangible assets of $277,830 and to capitalized software development costs of $213,170 in Trac Medical. These write-offs resulted from the Company’s analysis that the sales and income growth during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 was not as great as originally anticipated thus reducing expectations of growth for the next year compared to similar analysis conducted in the past. For the year ended June 30, 2004 the tests determined that a write-off of goodwill of $1,178,765 was required in the DJS reporting unit. The DJS goodwill write-off was required due to the growth slow-down in the technology sector causing DJS’s 2004 operating results to fall short of management’s expectations. As a result, the Company reduced DJS’s cash flow and operating results forecast for future periods. The goodwill balances for each reporting unit below are not tax deductible. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

The Authentidate and AG reporting units have generated significant operating losses, since inception. The recoverability of the goodwill of the Authentidate and AG reporting units is predicated on the reporting units’ ability to execute their business plans and achieve forecasted operating results prepared by management. If a reporting unit is unsuccessful in executing its business plan and achieving its forecasted results over the next twelve months, the reporting unit may be required to record additional impairment charges for goodwill and other long-lived assets.

INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed and collectibility is reasonably assured. Service revenue is recognized as services are provided. The Company enters into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements. These arrangements may include combinations of software licensing, postcontract customer support, software upgrades, transactions, set-up fees, hosting fees and credentialing fees. 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; and if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered items, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company. 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 the Company allocates total revenue among the elements based on the sales price of each element when sold separately or based on the fair value of each element if they are not sold separately which is referred to as vendor specific objective evidence or VSOE.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

The Company’s Document Solutions Segment has significant revenue from multiple element arrangements. Docstar sales include computer systems with loaded software (including the perpetual software license) as one deliverable and Docstar Softcare (TM) as an additional deliverable. Each of these deliverables are separately sold products and therefore have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value. In some cases the deliverable is just the software and license with no computer. Docstar Softcare is a one year postcontract customer support and upgrade product. The Company recognizes revenue on the system and perpetual software license when the product is shipped and title passes to the customer. The Softcare deliverable is considered a when-and-if-available element. Softcare revenue is recognized ratably over the one year contract. Revenue is allocated to each element based on the prices of these two elements when sold separately.

The System Integration Segment revenue is mainly derived from the sale of computer hardware and does not generally involve multiple elements. Revenue is recognized when the hardware is shipped and title passes to the customer. This segment also has professional services revenue and this revenue is recognized when the services are completed and accepted by the customer. In some cases this segment may have a multiple element transaction when professional services and hardware are both sold to the customer. The hardware revenue is recognized when it’s shipped to the customer and the professional services portion is recognized when the services are completed and accepted by the customer. Revenue for each element is allocated based on the sales price the Company charges for these elements when sold separately (VSOE).

The Security Software Solutions Segment may have multiple element sales and the separate elements may include licensing, maintenance, set-up, support, transaction fees and hosting services. The Company’s Trac Medical subsidiary generally enters into sales contracts of one year. These contracts which require customer set-up, may contain elements including software hosting, licensing, credentialing, transaction and postcontract customer support elements. Additionally, these contracts contain a prepaid transaction element and any unused transactions may be carried over provided the customer renews their contract for another year. As this service/product is new there is no evidence of value for any element, VSOE has not been established. Additionally, under these arrangements, all elements of the contract are being provided and / or accessed by the customer over our hosting site on a monthly basis over the estimated term of the contract. Therefore, revenue is deferred until set-up is complete and then recognized ratably over the estimated term of the contract.

With regard to the Company’s Authentidate Inc. product, the Electronic Post Mark (EPM), revenue is recognized on the sale of EPMs to the USPS as EPMs are used by the end-user customer. With regard to the Company’s Authentidate AG subsidiary some revenue contracts may involve multiple element arrangements and because the elements cannot be separated into more than one unit of accounting the revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the contract which is generally one year. The multiple elements may include license fees, support fees, professional services, time stamp fees and maintenance fees. AG may also receive revenue from professional services (without other elements) and such revenue is recognized as the professional services are completed and accepted by the customer.

WARRANTY PROVISIONS
The Company provides a one-year warranty on hardware products it assembles in its Document Solutions Segment. On products distributed for other manufacturers, the original manufacturer warranties the product. Warranty expense was not significant to any of the years presented.

ADVERTISING EXPENSES
The Company recognizes advertising expenses as incurred. Advertising expense for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $758,000, $778,000 and $461,000, respectively.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
These costs represent research and development expense and include salary and benefits, professional and consultant fees, amortization of licenses and supplies.

CURRENCY TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date generally and the income statements are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating non-U.S. currency financial statements are recorded in “Comprehensive Income (Loss)” and accumulated in shareholders’ equity in the caption “Accumulated Comprehensive Income (Loss)”. The “currency translation adjustment” balance at June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $63,421 and $73,814, respectively.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Examples include estimates of loss contingencies and product life cycles and 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 impairments are other-than-temporary. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates 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 income, and in certain situations, could have a material adverse effect on liquidity and our financial condition.

With regard to revenue recognition, revenue from the sale of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed and collectibility is reasonably assured. Service revenue is recognized as such services are provided. We enter into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements. Those arrangements include combinations of licensing, transactions, set-up, maintenance, support and hosting services. Multiple-element transactions 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 (a) the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand alone basis; (b) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item; and (c) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the delivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company. 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.

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We write down inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. We make estimates on the future recoverability of capitalized goodwill in the Security Software Solutions Segment which is highly dependent on the future success of the marketing and sales of this segment. 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.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25) in accounting for its stock option plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the Company’s financial statements for stock options under any of the stock plans which on the date of grant the exercise price per share was equal to or exceeded the fair value per share. However, compensation cost has been recognized for warrants granted to non-employees for services provided. The Company has also adopted the disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS No. 123) and FAS No. 148 with respect to pro forma disclosure of compensation expense for options issued. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. Had the Company recorded compensation expense for the fair value of stock options, net loss and loss per share would have been affected as indicated by the pro forma amounts below.

		2005			2004			2003

Pro forma	$	(0.68	)	$	(0.73	)	$	(0.60	)

The weighted average fair value of each option granted under the Company’s employee option plans during fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $1.55, $2.11 and $.60, respectively. These amounts were determined using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, which values options based on the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price of the option, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility of the stock, expected dividend payments and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. The dividend yield was zero in 2005, 2004 and 2003. The expected volatility was based on the historic stock prices and was 96.0%, 96.4% and 95.3% for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The risk-free interest rate was the rate available at the grant date on zero coupon U.S. government issues with a term equal to the remaining term for each grant. The risk-free rate ranged from 3.4% to 4.2% in 2005, 3.0% to 4.4% in 2004 and 3.0% to 5.1% in 2003, respectively. The expected life of the options was estimated based on the exercise history from previous grants and is estimated to be 3 to 5 years.

JUNE 30, 2005, 2004 AND 2003

In December 2004, the FASB revised FAS No. 123 and issued FAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment. Beginning in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 the statement requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense associated with share-based payments to employees and directors in the financial statements based on their fair values. The Company adopted FAS 123R on July 1, 2005 and will apply the provisions of the statement prospectively for any newly issued, modified, or settled award after the date of initial adoption, as well as for any awards that were granted prior to the adoption date for which the requisite service has not been provided as of the adoption date. The Company intends to continue to use the Black Scholes option-pricing model to calculate total stock compensation expense.

The Company expects that the total stock compensation expense in 2006 will be material and similar to the 2005 and 2004 pro-forma stock compensation expense, depending on the number and terms of new options granted, the exercise of existing options, the expected volatility, expected life, the dividend yield and risk free rate of return in the future.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk, the Company places its investments with several high credit quality financial institutions and typically invests in AA or better rated investments. The Company’s credit customers are not concentrated in any specific industry or business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

At June 30, 2005, there was one customer whose accounts receivable balance was approximately 10% of total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2004, there were two customers whose accounts receivable balance exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, no customers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, one DJS customer accounted for approximately 22% of consolidated net sales and represented approximately $296,000 of the $6.8 million gross profit. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, another DJS customer accounted for approximately 50% of consolidated net sales and represented approximately $625,000 of the $6.1 million in gross profit. Sales to these DJS customers were primarily low margin computer hardware sales.

INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES:
In fiscal 2005 the Company invested $750,000 in an unaffiliated third party, Health Fusion, Inc. in connection with a strategic relationship established with this company. In the event Health Fusion achieves certain financial and other performance objectives the Company has the right to invest another $750,000. The Company owns approximately 3.7% of the outstanding stock of Health Fusion and accounts for this investment using the cost method.

Also, during fiscal 2005, we acquired Cryptcom Securities, Inc., in an asset purchase arrangement for $125,000. As a part of this acquisition we assumed certain liabilities and also assumed the performance on several customer contracts. We employed three employees from Crtypcom Securities, Inc.

2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Authentidate Holding Corp. (AHC) and its subsidiaries Authentidate, Inc. (Authentidate), Authentidate International, AG (AG), DJS Marketing Group, Inc. (DJS), and Trac Medical Solutions, Inc. (Trac Med), collectively referred to as the “Company” , are engaged in the following businesses. These divisions are separated into different reporting segments for management and strategic purposes. The DocStar Division comprises the Document Solutions Segment. This segment develops and sells document imaging software and related products. DJS comprises the Systems Integration Segment, which markets network integration services, Internet services and related computer hardware. Authentidate, Inc., AG and Trac Med comprise the Security Software Solutions Segment which provides authentication and security software solutions. All of the Company’s businesses (except for AG) currently operate in New York state but have sales on a national basis. Authentidate International AG is located in Germany and sells to the European market primarily.

What follows is a brief history of the current businesses the Company is involved in. The DocStar Division was formed in 1995 to develop innovative document management software solutions. The software was developed in-house and loaded on a personal computer which was also assembled in-house and sold through a national dealer network. Today the Company also offers a “software only” solution to dealers and the product is also sold directly to end-users. In March 1996, the Company acquired DJS which was engaged in the systems integration industry in the Albany NY region. This business has also provided computer hardware to corporate and organizational accounts on a national basis. However, the focus of the business today is to market and sell professional services, which may or may not include a hardware component.

In June 1999, AHC established a majority owned (approximately 98%) subsidiary Authentidate, Inc. (Authentidate), to engage in a new software business providing users with a service which can verify the authenticity of digital images by employing a secure clock that will date stamp the images when received providing proof of time, date and also proof of content via the Internet or via facimile machine. In July 2002, the Company entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with the United States Postal Service to serve as the preferred provider of the USPS Electronic Postmark. The EPM uses our patent pending technology offering highly sophisticated encryption methodology ensuring document authenticity. Under the Strategic Alliance Agreement, the Company is required to meet certain performance metrics (including a revenue metric). In September 2004, the Postal Service notified the Company of a failure to comply with the current revenue metrics, which commenced a six month period to achieve compliance with the metrics. The Company began negotiating with the Postal Service to complete a modification of this metric and in December 2004 believed that it had cured the default. However, in May, 2005, the Company received a second notice from the Postal Service stating that it had failed to attain the performance metrics required by the Strategic Alliance Agreement during the period February 2005 through April 2005. In its notice, the Postal Service has advised the Company that although it intends to exercise its right to terminate the Strategic Alliance Agreement if the Company is unable to cure this default, it is willing to discuss further plans that the Company may have to attain the performance metrics in the Strategic Alliance Agreement. The Company is currently engaged in negotiations with the Postal Service to enter into an amendment to the Strategic Alliance Agreement in order to modify these metrics. No assurances, however, can be given that the Company will be successful in curing the default or completing these negotiations.

In June 1999, the Company completed construction of a new office/production facility in Schenectady, New York for approximately $2,300,000. The Company was awarded a grant totaling $1,000,000 from the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) (an agency of New York State) to be used towards the construction of the facility. The grant stipulated that the Company was obligated to achieve certain annual employment levels at the new site between January 1, 2002 and January 1, 2004 or some or all of the grant will have to be repaid. Although the Company did not achieve the agreed upon employment levels, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the ESDC regarding repayment of the grant award. Beginning September 2003, the Company agreed to repay $268,000 of the grant amount at the rate of $10,000 per month, interest free. Accordingly, $732,000 of the deferred grant was recognized as other income during fiscal year end June 30, 2004. The remaining $268,000 of deferred grant was reclassified to long-term debt (Note 8). During fiscal 2005 and 2004, the Company repaid $120,000 and $100,000, respectively of this amount. The remainder of the financing for the new facility, totaling approximately $1,400,000, was provided by a local financial institution in the form of a mortgage loan.

11. PREFERRED STOCK

The Board of Directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock, $.10 par value per share, from time to time in one or more series. The Board may issue a series of preferred stock having the right to vote on any matter submitted to shareholders including, without limitation, the right to vote by itself as a series, or as a class together with any other or all series of preferred stock. The Board of Directors may determine that the holders of preferred stock voting as a class will have the right to elect one or more additional members of the Board of Directors, or the majority of the members of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has designated a series of preferred stock which has the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors. The holders of Series A preferred stock which have the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors are therefore able to control the Company’s policies and affairs.

In June 2003, the Company purchased all of the Series A preferred stock (100 shares) from its former Chief Executive Officer for $850,000. Payment terms are as follows: $70,000 in cash was paid, $485,000 was offset against loans owed to the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, and the remainder was paid in monthly installments of $15,000 commencing July 2003, interest free (Note 21).

The Company currently has 28,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock outstanding. The Series B preferred is convertible into 500,000 shares of common stock and is more fully described in Note 20 – Private Equity Offerings.

12. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK WARRANTS

2000 AND 1992 EMPLOYEES STOCK OPTION PLANS
In March 2001, the shareholders approved the 2000 Employees Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) which provided for the grant of options to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In February 2004, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2000 Plan which serves to authorize the issuance of an additional 5,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2000 Plan through the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified options. The 2000 Plan expires in 2010.

The 1992 Employees Stock Option Plan (the “1992 Plan”) provided for the grant of options to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 1992 Plan expired in May 2002.

Under the terms of the two Plans, options granted thereunder may be designated as options which qualify for incentive stock option treatment (“ISO”) under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or options which do not so qualify (“non-ISOs”).

The Plans are administered by a Compensation Committee (“Committee”) designated by the Board of Directors (“Board”). The Compensation Committee is comprised entirely of outside directors. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, has the discretion to determine eligible employees and the times and the prices at which options will be granted, whether such options shall be ISOs or non-ISOs, the period during which each option will be exercisable and the number of shares subject to each option. Options generally begin to vest one year after the date of grant. Vesting generally occurs one-third per year over three years. Options generally have a life of five years. The Board or the Committee has full authority to interpret the Plans and to establish and amend rules and regulations relating thereto. Under the two Plans, the exercise price of an option designated as an ISO may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. However, in the event an option designated as an ISO is granted to a ten percent shareholder, the exercise price shall be at least 110% of such fair market value. The aggregate fair market value on the grant date of shares subject to options which are designated as ISOs which become exercisable in any calendar year, shall not exceed $100,000 per optionee.

The Board or the Committee may in its sole discretion grant bonuses or authorize loans to or guarantee loans obtained by an optionee to enable such optionee to pay any taxes that may arise in connection with the exercise or cancellation of an option. As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, no loans had been granted or guaranteed. Loans may not be granted or guaranteed to executive officers.

In fiscal 2004, the Company granted to advisory board members options to acquire 140,000 shares of Company common stock for services to be provided over a three year period. The options which vest over three year period have been valued using the Black Scholes Model which resulted in a charge to operations in fiscal 2004 of approximately $489,000. These options were cancelled during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
In January 2002, our shareholders approved the 2001 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Director Plan”). Options may be granted under the 2001 Director Plan until December 2011 to (i) non-executive directors as defined and (ii) members of any advisory board established by the Company who are not full-time employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The 2001 Director Plan provides that each non-executive director will automatically be granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares upon joining the Board of Directors and 10,000 on each September 1st thereafter, prorated based upon the amount of time such person served as a director during the period beginning twelve months prior to September 1. The shareholders approved an amendment to the 2001 Director Plan in February 2004 to grant all new non-executive directors an option to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock on the date such person is appointed or elected. Additionally, the shareholders also approved a provision that non-executive directors, upon joining the Board and for a period of one year thereafter, will be entitled to purchase restricted stock from the Company at a price equal to 80% of the closing price on the date of purchase up to an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. Each eligible director of an advisory board will receive, upon joining the advisory board, and on each September 1st thereafter, an option to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, providing such person has served as a director of the advisory board for the previous 12-month period.

The Company’s shareholders were asked to adopt the 2001 Director Plan since the 1992 Non-Executive Director Stock Plan (the “1992 Director Plan”) expired in April 2002. Under the 1992 Director Plan, which was adopted by our shareholders in April 1992, directors were automatically granted a fully vested option to purchase 20,000 shares upon joining the Board of Directors and a fully vested option to purchase 10,000 shares on each September 1 thereafter.

The exercise price for options granted under the 2001 and 1992 Director Plans is 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The “fair market value” is the closing NASDAQ price, or if the Company’s common stock is not quoted by NASDAQ, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or a market maker of the Company’s common stock. If the common stock is not quoted by any of the above the Board of Directors acting in good faith will determine fair market value. The exercise price of options granted under both the 2001 and 1992 Director Plans must be paid at the time of exercise in cash. The term of each option commences on the date it is granted and unless terminated sooner, as provided in the 2001 and 1992 Director Plans, expires five years from the date of grant. The 2001 and 1992 Director Plans are administered by a committee of the board of directors composed of not fewer than three persons who are officers of the Company (the “Committee”). The Committee has no discretion to determine which non-executive director or advisory board member will receive options or the number of shares subject to the option, the term of the option or the exercisability of the option. However, the Committee will make all determinations of the interpretation of both the 2001 and 1992 Director Plans. Options granted under the 2001 and 1992 Director Plans are not qualified for incentive stock option treatment.

In fiscal 2005, the Company granted to two new directors options to acquire an aggregate of 80,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $4.88 per share. In addition we granted existing directors 37,500 options at an exercise price of $7.15 per share.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in the following pending and threatened legal proceedings. The Company is the defendant in a third party complaint filed by Shore Venture Group, LLC (Shore Venture) in Federal District Court in Pennsylvania. The third party complaint was filed against us on May 7, 2001. Shore Venture is the defendant to an action commenced by Berwyn Capital. The third party complaint alleges a claim for breach of contract and seeks indemnification. A trial was held in October, 2002 and we are currently awaiting the verdict of the judge. Management believes that the claim will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is also the defendant in a case filed by Shore Venture Group, LLC in federal district court. This complaint was filed on March 2, 2005, and an amended complaint was filed on or about April 26, 2005. The plaintiffs in this case seek additional shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, Authentidate, Inc., the right to exchange its stock in Authentidate, Inc., for publicly traded stock and securities in the Company, rights under one of our patent applications and damages in connection with an alleged copyright infringement. Prior to the commencement of this case, the Company had conducted extensive settlement negotiations with Shore Venture in an effort to resolve all claims between the parties. However, negotiations did not result in a mutually agreeable settlement. The lawsuit requests damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company intends to defend the action vigorously. Based on the facts of which the Company is currently aware, management believes that the resolution of all of our claims with Shore Venture will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, no assurances can be given that such belief will ultimately prove to be accurate or that other facts adverse to our position currently not known to management will not be uncovered, in which case the ultimate resolution of this claim could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

In June 2005, several separate complaints purporting to be class actions were filed in federal court alleging that the Company and some of its current and former officers and directors violated provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Subsequently two separate derivative action lawsuits were filed against the Company based on allegations substantially similar to those set forth in the purported class action suits. The Company has not yet responded to the above complaints. As relief, the complaints seek, among other things, declaration that the action be certified as a proper class action, unspecified compensatory damages (including interest) and payment of costs and expenses (including fees for legal counsel and experts). Management is unable to determine at this time whether this claim will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

In addition, in August 2005, we were notified of the filing of a complaint in which the plaintiff alleges that our products and systems incorporating secure time stamping technology, including but not limited to our Electronic Postmark system, infringes certain of the plaintiff’s patent rights. The complaint was filed in federal district court. As relief, the complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief and damages. The complaint has not yet been served, and the notification included a request to initiate settlement discussions prior to service of the complaint. The Company is assessing the situation and the patents being asserted, and has not yet responded to this notification. Management is unable to determine at this time whether this claim will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

At June 30, 2005, the Company had $138,282 in an outstanding letter of credit with a financial institution. The Company is required to maintain a cash account balance (restricted cash) equal to the outstanding letter of credit.

At June 30, 2005, the Company had a severance accrual of $928,000 for employees that were terminated during fiscal year 2005. These payouts will be made over the next 18 months.

In February 2004, the Company’s Trac Medical Solutions, Inc. subsidiary entered into a nine year agreement with an affiliate of the American Association of Homecare (AAH) and bConnected Software, Inc. providing for the delivery of a software-based solution for the processing of Electronic Certificates of Medical Necessity (e-CMN’s) and other electronic health care forms. The e-CMN incorporates the Company’s CareCert solution with applications from bConnected Software. As part of the agreements Trac Med will pay a royalty to both AAH and bConnected based on a percentage of sales of e-CMN’s to third parties.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, MARKETABLE SECURITIES, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, OTHER CURRENT ASSETS, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

LONG TERM DEBT AND OTHER NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES
Long-term debt, convertible debt and capital leases carrying values approximates fair value as the Company’s current borrowing rate approximates the interest rates on such debt.

18. SEGMENT INFORMATION

FAS 131 establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s operating segments in its annual financial statements and selected segment information in interim financial reports.

The Company has three reportable segments: The Document Solutions Segment is comprised of DocStar, a document imaging software company. DocStar sells document storage and retrieval software and related products through a national dealer network of approximately 100 dealers. The Systems Integration Segment which is comprised of DJS Marketing Group, Inc. DJS markets computer services including network services, internet services and software installation and integration. DJS sells a complete line of personal computers and peripheral equipment in the Albany, New York area primarily, although DJS has several national accounts. The Security Software Solutions Segment is comprised of Authentidate Inc., Authentidate AG and Trac Medical Solutions, Inc. The Security Software Solutions Segment related businesses all provide authentication software services nationally and through AG internationally.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The Company’s reportable segments are separate divisions which are managed separately. The corporate expenses which are not managed at the segment level include all public company type expenses and therefore are excluded from the Company’s operating segments results. Goodwill is included in corporate assets (Note 1).

19. PRIVATE DEBT OFFERINGS

In October 2002, the Company sold convertible debentures with a face value of $3,700,000 to institutional investors and warrants to purchase 444,000 shares of common stock (warrant fair value $813,000). The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.50 per share. The debenture sale contained a beneficial conversion feature with a value of $1,190,000. The debentures are due three years from the date of issuance and accrue interest at the rate of 7% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. At the option of the Company, the interest may be paid in either cash or additional shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of four years from the date of issuance and are initially exercisable at $2.50 per share. The conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment in the event the Company issues common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price per share of common stock less than the conversion price or exercise price on the basis of a weighted average formula. In addition, the conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment at any time as the result of any subdivision, stock split, combination of shares or recapitalization. The Company has an option, but not a requirement, to sell another $2,470,000 of convertible debentures to the same investors provided the Company’s common stock maintains a trading price at or above $3.00 per share for the 15 trading days preceding an election to sell additional debentures. In September 2003, the Company exercised its option and sold $2,470,000 of convertible debentures to the same group of investors.

In May and June 2003, the Company sold convertible debentures with a face value of $2,725,300 to institutional investors (including a member and an affiliate of a member of the Company’s Board of Directors) and warrants to purchase 419,279 shares of common stock (warrant fair value $774,000). The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.60 per share. The debenture sale contained a beneficial conversion feature with a value of $821,000. The debentures are due three years from the date of issuance and accrue interest at the rate of 7% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. At the option of the Company, the interest may be paid in either cash or additional shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance and 50% of the warrants are initially exercisable at $2.60 per share and the remaining 50% of the warrants are initially exercisable at $2.86 per share. The conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment in the event the Company issues common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price per share of common stock less than the conversion price or exercise price on the basis of a weighted average formula. In addition, the conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment at any time as the result of any subdivision, stock split, combination of shares or recapitalization.

As a result of the convertible debenture issuances, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature and a debt discount for the fair value of the warrants aggregating $3,598,000, which will be amortized and charged to interest expense over the three year term of the respective debt.

On September 12, 2003, we completed the sale of $2,470,000 of convertible debentures which mature in September 2006 and bear interest at 7% payable quarterly in cash or stock at the Company’s option. Included in the sale were warrants to purchase an aggregate of 247,000 shares, having an exercise price of $3.00 per share and expire in four years. The portion of the sale price allocated to the fair value of the warrants (approximately $800,000 debt discount) and the beneficial conversion feature value (approximately $1,500,000) will be amortized as interest expense over the three year term of the debt.

In addition to this financing, on September 22, 2003, the Company sold 166,667 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Company common stock to an investor who participated in the May 2003 financing. The shares were sold for $3.00 per share and the investor agreed to a one- year lock-up during which he will be unable to sell or otherwise transfer the securities purchased in this sale. The 50,000 warrants issued to this investor have an exercise price of $3.00 and expire in four years. The underlying shares of these warrants are also subject to a one-year lock-up. The Company received $470,000 of net proceeds after expenses.

In February 2002, the Company offered the holders of its Series B common stock warrants the opportunity to receive new warrants upon the exercise of the Series B warrants for cash. The exercise price of these warrants was $1.375 per common stock warrant. The warrant holders would receive a new warrant exercisable at $2.00 per common stock warrant, which was slightly above the market price of the Company’s common stock on February 19, 2002, the date the Board approved the transaction. 1,080,000 warrants were exercised and the Company received $1,485,000 in cash, in addition 1,080,000 new warrants were issued.

In 2001, the Company, in two separate transactions closed on the sale of $5,500,000 of its securities to two foreign institutions pursuant to Regulation S, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In the transactions, the Company sold 5,500 of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, with a dividend rate of 4%, payable in either cash or Company Common Stock to the foreign institutions convertible at $4.845 per share and five year warrants to purchase 114,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $4.845 per share. The conversion price is not subject to resets or adjustments for changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock. The right of conversion incorporated into the Series C Preferred Stock constitutes a beneficial conversion feature which was determined to have a value of approximately $1,464,002. The beneficial conversion feature was amortized as a preferred stock dividend over a one-year period commencing July 1, 2001 using the effective interest method. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $5,200,000 from the transaction after paying commissions and expenses. The securities sold in this offering are restricted securities under the terms of Regulation S and may not be transferred or resold in the United States for a period of one year, except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an exemption thereunder. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, there were no Series C preferred shares converted.

During fiscal 2000, the Company closed three concurrent private offerings. In the first offering, the Company sold 740,000 units at an aggregate offering price of $740,000, each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and two Series B common stock purchase warrants (the “Series B Warrants”). The Series B Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.375 per share during the offering period commencing on the date of issuance and terminating five years thereafter. The Series B warrants are redeemable at any time commencing one year after issuance at the option of the Company with not less than 30 nor more than 60 days written notice to the registered holders at a redemption price of $.05 per warrant provided; (i) The public sale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B warrants are covered by a tentative registration statement; and (ii) During each of the immediately preceding 20 consecutive trading days ending within 10 days of the date of the notice of redemption, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $3.25 per share. As of June 30, 2005, there were no Series B warrants outstanding.

In the second offering, the Company sold 50,000 shares of a newly created class of Series B convertible cumulative preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B preferred stock was sold at $25.00 per share for an aggregate offering price of $1,250,000. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are payable at the rate of 10% per annum, semi-annually in cash. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock or is converted into such number of shares of the common stock as shall equal $25.00 divided by the conversion price of $1.875 per share subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Commencing three years after the closing, the conversion price shall be the lower of $1.875 per share or the average of the closing bid and asked price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately ending one trading day prior to the notice of the date of conversion; provided, however, that the holders are not entitled to convert more than 20% of the Series B preferred shares held by such holder on the third anniversary of the date of issuance per month. The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company at any time commencing one year after issuance or not less than 30 nor more than 60 days written notice at a redemption price of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends provided; (i) the public sale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) are covered by an effective registration statement or are otherwise exempt from registration; and (ii) during the immediately preceding 20 consecutive trading days ending within 10 day s of the date of the notice of redemption, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock is not less than $3.75 per share. The Series B voting rights are limited to any issue which would adversely affect their rights.

On October 30, 2002, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights and Number of Shares of Series B preferred stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The amendment provides that the conversion rate applicable to the outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock will be fixed at $1.40. Previously, the conversion rate was equal to the lower of $1.875 and the average of the closing bid and asked prices of our common stock for the immediately preceding ten consecutive trading days ending one day prior to the notice of conversion; provided, however, that the conversion rate would not be below $0.875. Accordingly, the outstanding 28,000 shares of Series B preferred stock are presently convertible into an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Prior to the amendment, the outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock were convertible into a maximum of 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In consideration of obtaining the consent of the holder of the outstanding Series B preferred stock, the Company agreed to defer its ability to redeem those shares for a period of two years.

21. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company entered into certain loan and security arrangements involving Mr. John T. Botti, its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, principally relating to certain obligations to financial institutions collateralized by Mr. Botti’s stock in AHC. The Company initially established these arrangements in 2001, and agreed to certain modifications in February 2002, as described below.

In January 2001, the Company made a loan of $317,000 to Mr. Botti so as to enable him to avoid a margin call on the shares of AHC common stock owned by him that were held in a brokerage account as the Board of Directors believed that failing to do so would have a material adverse impact on the market price of its stock (the “2001 Loan”). The 2001 Loan was collateralized by a lien on all of the shares of AHC owned by Mr. Botti, as well as shares issuable to Mr. Botti upon the exercise of stock options granted to him. On February 14, 2002, the Company agreed to loan an additional amount of $203,159 to Mr. Botti, which loan was also collateralized by a lien on all of shares of AHC owned by Mr. Botti or issuable to him (the “2002 Loan”). The 2001 Loan bore interest at the rate of 9% per annum. The 2002 Loan bore interest at the rate of 6% per annum. These loans were paid in full in June 2003 as the result of Mr. Botti selling his 10 0 shares of Series A preferred stock to the Company for $850,000. The Series A preferred stock had been appraised at $1,100,000 by an independent nationally recognized appraisal and valuation firm. Additionally, the Company paid Mr. Botti $70,000 in cash in June 2003 and monthly installments of $15,000 to satisfy the outstanding liability related to the sale. In July 2004, the Board of Directors approved payment in full to the Chief Executive Officer during the quarter ended September 30, 2004.

In May and June 2003, the Company sold convertible debentures to certain institutional investors. In the transaction, the Company sold $2,725,300 of convertible debentures and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 419,279 shares of common stock. A non-executive member of our Board of Directors participated in this financing and purchased $250,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures and received 38,462 common stock purchase warrants. Further, an entity affiliated with a non-executive member of our Board of Directors, purchased $250,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures and received 38,462 common stock purchase warrants in this financing. In addition, an entity that was a beneficial owner of greater than 5% of our common stock participated in this financing, purchasing $250,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures and receiving 38,462 common stock purchase warrants. The convertible debentures, which are payable in full in May 2006, bear interest at 7% annum, payable quarterly in arrears (Note 19). All of these convertible debentures were converted during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
