ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

General

Authentidate Holding Corp. (AHC) is a worldwide provider of software and web-based services that enable enterprises and individuals to securely conduct the trusted exchange of electronic content. AHC and its subsidiaries provide software applications and web-based services that address a variety of business needs for our customers, including raising service levels, reducing costs, improving productivity and enhancing compliance with regulatory requirements. Our scalable offerings are primarily targeted at enterprises and office professionals and incorporate security technologies such as electronic signing, identity management and content authentication to electronically facilitate secure and trusted transactions. The company operates its business in the United States and Germany, with technology and service offerings that address emerging growth opportunities based on the regulatory and legal requirements specific to each market.

General Business Developments during Fiscal Year 2007

During fiscal 2007, the company took several steps to sharpen its strategic business focus and completed the realignment of its operations accordingly. In the United States, it continued to invest in developing its Inscrybe™ platform, which brings together an integrated suite of capabilities to enable the trusted exchange of content seamlessly via fax or over the web, and incorporates use of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Electronic Postmark^® (EPM). As discussed below, utilizing this platform, the company launched Inscrybe Healthcare, a trusted content exchange service specifically targeting the needs of enterprises in the healthcare sector, and divested its Document Management Solutions and Systems Integration businesses that were strategically not relevant to its business direction. Meanwhile, the company’s operating unit in Germany continued to grow acceptance for its electronic invoicing product, and made a successful entry into the German healthcare market with its security technology offerings.

In October 2006, the company announced the launch of Inscrybe™ Healthcare, a web-based enterprise-class service that brings together an integrated suite of capabilities to enable participants in the healthcare industry to securely exchange and track a variety of documents such as certificates of medical necessity (eCMN), prior

authorizations (ePA), claims attachments (eCA), plans of care (ePOC) and physician orders (eOrder) seamlessly over the web and via fax. Inscrybe Healthcare also features MDKeyBank™, a physician credentialing tool that establishes a physician’s electronic identity, enabling the signing of electronic medical forms online.

In June 2007, the company announced that it had completed the sale of its Document Management Solutions and Systems Integration businesses, including its wholly-owned subsidiary DJS Marketing Group, Inc., to Astria Solutions Group, LLC (“Astria”). Astria is a newly formed New York limited liability company organized by members of the acquired businesses’ senior management team. Under the terms of the definitive Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2007 (“Asset Purchase Agreement”), the company received approximately $7,100,000 for the acquired businesses and related assets (including cash of $750,000). Astria paid the company approximately $3,250,000 in cash, issued to the company a $2,000,000 seven-year note bearing an interest rate of 8.5% (“Note”), assumed approximately $1,600,000 in liabilities related to the acquired businesses, and agreed to pay the company approximately $270,000 based on the collection of deferred accounts receivable following the closing. In connection with the sale, Astria also entered into a seven-year lease for a portion of the building owned by the company in Schenectady, New York where the acquired businesses are located and received a six-month exclusive option from the company to purchase the land and building for $2,427,000.

The Note is secured by the assets of the acquired businesses sold by the company to Astria. The Note is subordinated to the interests of the senior creditor and mezzanine lender to Astria as set forth in an intercreditor and subordination agreement among the company, Astria, and the senior creditor and mezzanine lender.

The Document Management Solutions and Systems Integration businesses and the related assets and liabilities have been presented as discontinued operations and assets held for sale in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The results of operations for discontinued operations were not significant for these periods. Unless otherwise indicated, all information presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K relates to our continuing operations.

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

In consideration for the licenses granted to it, Authentidate pays the USPS a quarterly license fee and a per EPM transaction fee if Authentidate’s volume of EPM transactions exceeds a contractually specified level during a particular quarter. This license agreement is effective as of August 1, 2007 and will expire in three years unless it is sooner terminated in accordance with its terms. Either party may terminate the agreement upon written notice if the other party is in material breach of any provision thereof, subject to applicable cure periods. In addition, either party may terminate this agreement for any reason, upon 120 days notice to the other party. The USPS will also have the right to terminate the license agreement upon written notice in connection with a change in control transaction affecting Authentidate.

In August 2007 the company announced the commercial launch of Inscrybe™ Office, a new web-based service for business or personal use, to securely and conveniently sign, seal and confirm receipt of important documents over the web. In addition to supporting multiple electronic signatures on the same document, the new service offers senders and recipients the benefits of secure and verifiable online document exchange, with optional features such as acknowledgment of receipt, verification of recipient identity, and audit trails.

Inscrybe™ Office offers a selection of individual subscription plans, and for enterprises facilitates consolidated billing through group accounts. For a monthly subscription fee, each plan offers a user an unlimited number of document transactions utilizing electronic signatures. In addition, for a given transaction a user has the option to apply content authentication and verification features at a nominal charge. Inscrybe™ Office is available to anyone with web access, via MyInscrybe™.com, a new self-serve portal designed to provide individual users personalized access to Authentidate offerings.

Business

General

The company is in the business of providing software and web-based services that enable enterprises and individuals to securely conduct the trusted exchange of electronic content, and operates its business in the United States and Germany. In the United States the business is engaged in the development and sale of hosted applications and services largely based on the Inscrybe platform and related capabilities. In the United States we also offer our proprietary content authentication technology in the form of the USPS Electronic Postmark^® (EPM) which may be accessed independently or indirectly by virtue of inclusion in Authentidate’s applications and services. In Germany the business is engaged in the development and sale of software applications that provide electronic signature and time stamping capabilities for a variety of corporate processes including electronic billing and archiving solutions. Our web-based services and software applications are compliant with applicable digital signature rules and guidelines. We sell our software applications and software services through a direct sales effort and reseller arrangements.

During 2005 we shifted to our current solutions-based market approach in the United States to facilitate the adoption of our content authentication technology (EPM) and to grow our business in the healthcare sector. Through August 2006, we developed several applications to complement our CareCert™ service which was developed in 2004. Building on our experience with customers in our target markets, in October 2006, we launched Inscrybe™ Healthcare, a new service based on the Inscrybe platform that accommodates interchangeable modes of communication including the web and faxes, and is designed to enable healthcare industry participants, such as physicians, hospitals, home health agencies, equipment providers, pharmacies, payors, regulators and others to securely exchange a variety of documents such as medical records, and forms for approving and supporting claims. Through July 2007 we migrated our legacy services, including CareCert, Medicaid Prior Authorizations, and Electronic Claims Attachment offerings to the Inscrybe Healthcare service, and also added a digital Plan of Care module (ePOC) which is designed to enable home health agencies to exchange and authenticate Medicare-required documentation with physicians and, in April 2007, announced our Physician Order module (eOrder) which offers a robust array of benefits to homecare providers, including the ability to better serve referring physicians. The eOrder module enables physicians’ offices and other healthcare professionals to place orders with homecare providers and complete the associated paperwork simply and securely using a web-based catalog. We plan to develop additional modules to provide our customers with an integrated suite of applications to serve their business needs.

In November 2006, we began a beta test of Inscrybe™ Office and launched a commercial version of this new web-based service in August 2007. Inscyrbe™ Office is based on Authentidate’s proven Inscrybe suite of capabilities delivering proven value to customers in the healthcare sector today, and brings together the power of online communications with a number of powerful features, such as electronic signatures, content authentication and trusted time stamps using the USPS EPM seal, along with a host of other features that simplify the online exchange of critical and time-sensitive documents. Inscrybe Office is available to anyone with web access, via MyInscrybe.com.

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

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

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 two customers (Liberty Medical Group and ISKV) accounted for approximately 43% of our consolidated revenues. A discussion of the geographic areas where we have business operations is set forth in Note 16 of notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Products and Services

Our business in the US provides hosted services that enable customers to securely conduct the trusted exchange of electronic content. Our Inscrybe Healthcare service is currently targeted at the medical supply and home healthcare sectors. Our new Inscrybe Office service is targeted primarily at enterprises and office professionals in a variety of document intensive markets. Our offerings include:

Inscrybe™ Healthcare—a secure web-based information network that enables users to efficiently and cost-effectively exchange time-sensitive information via the web or fax. Inscrybe Healthcare incorporates electronic signatures, content authentication using the USPS EPM, workflow intelligence and HIPAA compliance. It is used to track and manage all kinds of structured and unstructured data and can be interfaced with existing in-house and external systems. Inscrybe Healthcare includes the following workflow automation modules:

Inscrybe™ Office—a web-based service, for business or personal use, to securely and conveniently sign, seal and confirm receipt of important documents over the web. The service supports multiple electronic signatures on the same document, provides optional features such as acknowledgment of receipt, verification of recipient identity, content authentication using the USPS EPM and audit trails. Inscrybe Office can be used for legally binding or compliance-dependent transactions such as business or personal contracts, agreements, closing documents, transcripts, offer letters, prescriptions, authorizations and other important documents.

USPS EPM Service—enables a user to have a digital record of a transaction created and stored by a trusted third party that can be used to verify the content, date, time and parties related to the transaction in the future. The EPM can be used to verify the authenticity of a document or file sent electronically as of a specific point in time and allows users to detect whether or not documents or files stamped with an EPM

seal have been altered or modified. The USPS EPM incorporates our proprietary content authentication technology and is branded by the USPS pursuant to a non-exclusive, worldwide license agreement between the USPS and the company. Under the license agreement, the USPS will define and maintain the technical and operational standards for the EPM service, and serve as backup verifier for all EPM transactions.

In instances where the above structured services may not exactly match the business needs of our customers, we also design and provide custom solutions that leverage the technical and operational capabilities that form the basis of the above services.

Our business in Germany provides signature-based business process software applications and solutions that feature easy integration, economic efficiency, and platform independence. Our subsidiary, Authentidate International, AG, is a Certification Service Provider, accredited by the German Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Post in accordance with the German Electronic Signature Act and European directives. The German Electronic 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, our solutions generate legally valid time stamps in accordance with the German Electronic Signature Act and European guidelines. Our current products and services include the following:

eBilling Signature Server—enables centralized application of qualified signatures to a user’s electronic invoice generation process to permit development of a large volume of electronic invoices. Related modules include the Signature Check Server for high volume signature verification and the eSign Client module for generating qualified signatures at the employee workstation.

eArchive Module—enables verification of qualified signatures stored in document management and archive systems. During the verification process the integrity and authenticity of the data is checked.

Scan Signature Module—integrates qualified personal signatures in processes for mass document recording.

eTimeStamp Module—creates qualified time stamps to provide proof of time and date for electronic documents.

eMail Security Server—provides a centralized secure e-mail solution providing Public Key Infrastructure functions, such as the signing, verifying, encoding and decoding of e-mails and attachments.

Signamus Signature Service and Signature Check Webservice—provides an out-sourced qualified signature and verification service for entities and a 7 x 24 web service to verify signatures and time stamps.

As in the US, in Germany we also provide customized security software solutions to customers, primarily in the healthcare space today.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our software and web-based services primarily through a direct sales effort and reseller arrangements. Our resellers typically receive a commission based on a percentage of the value of customer agreements we enter into due to their efforts. In cases where our contracts have a term exceeding one year, we generally defer revenue derived from these contracts and recognize it over the life of the contract.

Supply Relationships

We use AT&T, Inc., to provide and maintain a secure hosting center at a facility in New York to host our web-based services, including the USPS EPM Service. We also use a hosting center in Europe to maintain a secure data center for our overseas operations. We believe that there are sufficient alternative suppliers of these services. We augment our own staff of software developers by using third party consultants and our software and

5

Table of Contents

services 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.

Competition

The markets in which we compete are highly competitive and rapidly changing. Although we believe there is no single company that directly competes with our content authentication services and solutions, we are aware of efforts by other companies to develop products or services to either compete directly with our services and solutions or that could be used as alternatives to our offerings. These companies offer fax products, web based processing of medical forms and signature solutions that could compete with our services and solutions. 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 and such companies may have greater financial, technological, and marketing resources than we do.

Patents and Trademarks

On May 2, 2006, we were issued our first U.S. patent, Patent No. 7,039,616, titled “Method for Proof of Transaction”. We also have seven issued foreign patents, and nine U.S. and nine foreign patent applications pending relating to the technology and business processes underlying our services and applications. We have registered the trademarks “Authentidate” and “CareCert” in the US, the trademark “Authentidate” in Germany and in the European Community and a number of other trademarks as Madrid Protocol international registrations. We have also sought to register a number of additional trademarks in the US and certain foreign markets, including “Inscrybe,” “MyInscrybe,” and “Inscrybe Office.” No assurance can be given that registration will be obtainable or if obtained will be effective to protect our trademarks. We believe our trade names and patents are important 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 software and services 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, electronic signatures, content authentication and other related technologies. Our ability to be competitive depends upon our ability to anticipate and effectively react to technological changes, changing market conditions for our software and services, and the requirements of our customers. Product development expenses for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $2,594,000, $3,575,000 and $2,704,000, respectively.

Our product development activities are focused on enhancing our applications and services and developing new application and services to address customer and market needs. Current development efforts are focused on enhancing our current applications and services and developing additional applications for the healthcare market. We capitalize software development costs and amortize those costs in accordance with our policy disclosed in Note 1 of notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Intellectual Property

Other companies operating in our market 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 or defend our rights under any patent. Although we believe that the software and services we sell do not and will not infringe upon the patents or

6

Table of Contents

violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible that such infringement or violation has occurred or may occur. In the event that the software or services we sell are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be required to modify our software or services or obtain a license for the 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. In addition, if our current or proposed software or services are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages or subject to an injunction, which could also have a material adverse effect on our business. These matters are discussed more fully in Item 3 “Legal Proceedings”. It is our policy to investigate allegations of third party intellectual property rights to the extent that they are brought to our attention or to the extent that we become independently aware of such third party intellectual property rights to ensure that our current and proposed software and services do not infringe on any such rights. Although we have not received notice of any other claims that our software or services are infringing, we can not provide any assurances that our software or services do not infringe upon any other patents, including the patents that we have investigated.

Employees

At June 30, 2007, we employed 74 full-time employees throughout our operations, including our senior management. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement and we believe that our employee relations are satisfactory. In the normal course of business, we also contract with third parties to provide support for various projects.

Government Regulation

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

Corporate Information

Authentidate Holding Corp. was organized in August 1985 as Bitwise Designs, Inc. and reincorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in May 1992. We changed our name to Authentidate Holding Corp. in March 2001. Our executive offices are presently located at the Connell Corporate Center, 300 Connell Drive, 5^th Floor, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey 07922, and our telephone number is (908) 787-1700. Authentidate, Inc. was organized as a majority-owned subsidiary during our 2000 fiscal year. In 2001, we completed an exchange

Table of Contents

offer with most of the other shareholders of this subsidiary and presently own approximately 98% of the outstanding capital stock of this company. Authentidate International AG was formed through a joint venture in March, 2000 with our subsidiary, Authentidate, Inc. On March 15, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of this company not held by our subsidiary.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

As provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we wish to caution shareholders and investors that the following important factors, among others discussed throughout this Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, have affected, and in some cases could affect, our actual results of operation and cause our results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward looking statements made herein. Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks we are not presently aware of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 10-K, including our financial statements and related notes.

Risks Related to Our Business

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

We incurred net losses of approximately $15,063,000, $17,823,000 and $19,184,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We have expended, and will continue to be required to expend, substantial funds to pursue product development projects, enhance our marketing and sales efforts and to otherwise operate our business. Therefore, we will need to generate higher revenues to achieve and maintain profitability and cannot assure you that we will be profitable in any future period. Our prospects should be considered in light of the difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business line, which characterizes our business, such as the difficulty in creating a viable market, the significant related development and marketing costs and the overall competitive environment in which we operate. This risk may be more acute in light of our disposition of our other operating segments. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations in future operating periods.

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

Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. We have been substantially dependent upon private placements of our securities and on short-term and long-term loans from lending institutions to fund such requirements. We are expending significant amounts of capital to develop, promote and market our software and services, such as our Inscrybe Healthcare platform and related modules and our Inscrybe Office offering. Due to these expenditures, we have incurred significant losses to date. We used approximately $14,852,000, $13,743,000 and $10,821,000 in cash for continuing operating activities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We expect the proceeds received from our February 2004 private financing, in which we raised approximately $69,100,000 in net proceeds, and cash generated from operations and asset sales, to satisfy our cash needs for the foreseeable future. No assurances can be given that we will be able to attain sales levels and support our costs through revenues derived from operations. If we are unable to attain projected revenue levels for our business, it may be necessary to raise additional capital to fund operations and to meet our obligations in the future.

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

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

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

Our license with the USPS may also be adversely affected by recently enacted legislation regarding the USPS. On December 20, 2006, the President signed into law PL 109-435. This statute defines as “postal services” essentially the carriage of paper and printed matter, but grandfathers other services that were being offered by the USPS as of January 1, 2006, which we believe would include the EPM. However, the legislation further directs the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) to review non-postal services within two years to determine whether they should continue taking into account “the public need for the service” and “the ability of the private sector to meet the public need for the service.” Based upon this legislation, the PRC may review the current licensing arrangement for the EPM. Accordingly, there can be no assurance the USPS will not terminate this licensing program, which could adversely affect our ability to commercialize this technology.

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

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

We 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” of Part I of this Report on Form 10-K, 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. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill, acquired product rights, and other intangible assets, whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate that these assets might be impaired. Goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment at the end of each fiscal year, regardless of events and

10

Table of Contents

circumstances. In fiscal 2005 we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $4,800,000 for goodwill and other long-term intangible assets. As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately $7,300,000 of goodwill principally from our acquisition of our German subsidiary, Authentidate International, AG. We will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, and we may incur substantial impairment charges, which could adversely affect our financial results.

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

We have incurred substantial costs in supporting the operation of our German subsidiary, Authentidate International, AG. In June 2007, we entered into a new one-year employment agreement with Mr. Jan Wendenburg, the Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate International, pursuant to which he received a base salary of approximately, 210,000 Euros. Further, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we advanced or made capital investments of approximately $2,840,000 to this subsidiary. We cannot provide any assurance that we will recoup any of these amounts from this subsidiary. We expect to incur additional costs in the future in connection with the operations of this subsidiary.

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

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

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

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

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

On May 2, 2006, we were issued our first U.S. patent and we also have seven issued foreign patents. In addition, we have nine U.S. and nine foreign patent applications pending relating to the technology and business processes underlying our services and applications. However, some of the technology embodied in some of our current products cannot be patented. We have registered the trademarks “Authentidate” and “CareCert” in the

11

Table of Contents

US, the trademark “Authentidate” in Germany and in the European Community and a number of other trademarks as Madrid Protocol international registrations. We have also sought to register a number of additional trademarks in the US and certain foreign markets, including “Inscrybe,” “MyInscrybe” and “Inscrybe Office.” We continue to take steps to protect our intellectual property rights including filing additional trademark and patent applications where appropriate. We rely on confidentiality agreements with our key employees to the extent we deem it to be necessary. We further intend to file patent applications for any new products we may develop, to the extent that we believe that any technology included in such products is patentable. There can be no assurance that any patents in fact, will be issued or that any such patents that do issue will be effective to protect our products and services from duplication by other manufacturers or developers or to prevent our competitors from offering similar products and services.

Other companies operating within our business segments may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or otherwise obtain access to our know-how, much of which is maintained as trade secrets. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to afford the expense of any litigation which may be necessary to enforce our rights under any patent. Although we believe that the products we sell do not and will not infringe upon the patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible that such infringement or violation has occurred or may occur. 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 had 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. This matter has resulted in a favorable settlement for the company in which all of the plaintiff’s claims were dismissed with prejudice and the case terminated (for additional information, see Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”). We have investigated patents held by third parties of which we are aware and believe that our products and services do not infringe on the claims of these patents. Although we have not received notice of any other claims that our products or services are infringing, we can not provide any assurances that our products and services do not infringe upon any third party patents, including the patents we have investigated. As described under the caption “Legal Proceedings,” we are currently defending a claim by Shore Venture Group, in which it alleges, among other things, rights under one or more of our patent applications. Shore Venture Group recently withdrew a number of claims in the arbitration, including a claim for 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. The case which was brought in federal court has been stayed in favor of arbitration. On October 18, 2006, Shore Venture filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. On December 4, 2006 we filed a response to the demand and are defending this action vigorously. Discovery has closed in this matter and an arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin on September 4, 2007. In the event that products we sell or services we provide are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be required to modify our products and/or services or obtain a license for the manufacture, use and/or sale of such products and services. There can be no assurance that, in such an event, we would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon our business. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to defend against a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. In addition, if our products, services or proposed products or services are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages or subject to an injunction, which could also have a material adverse effect on our business.

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

We derive a majority of our revenues from a limited number of software and service offerings. In addition, our focus on building our business is concentrated on markets for software and services where content integrity, workflow automation, electronic signatures and time and date stamping are important to customers. As a result, we are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in demand for these offerings, whether as a result of competition,

12

Table of Contents

product obsolescence, technological change, customer spending, or other factors. If our revenues derived from our software and service offerings were to decline significantly, our business and operating results would be adversely affected. Additionally, for the year ended June 30, 2007 we reported that two customers accounted for approximately 43% of our consolidated revenues. As a result, if our relationships with these or other significant customers were disrupted we could lose a significant percentage of our anticipated revenues which could have material adverse effect on our business.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14

Table of Contents

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

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

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

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

We are engaged in the highly competitive businesses of developing software-based workflow and authentication offerings. These markets are also continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid technological change. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we do. These organizations may be better known than we are and have more customers than we do. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against these organizations. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our markets include performance, ease of use, scalability, manageability, price and customer service and support. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully incorporate these factors into our software and web-based services and compete against current or future competitors or that competitive pressure we face will not harm our business. If we are unable to develop and market products to compete with the products of competitors, our business will be materially and adversely affected.

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

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

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

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

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

At June 30, 2007, the date of our most recent year end, we had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLS”) for federal income tax purposes of approximately $96,000,000 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.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock price is volatile and could decline.

The price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. For example, our stock price during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 traded as low as $1.20 per share and as high as $2.73 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:

16

Table of Contents

In addition, the stock market in general, and companies whose stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global 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, 2007, the following options and warrants were outstanding:

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

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

ITEM 2.     PROPERTIES

Our executive offices and certain operations are located at the Connell Corporate Center, 300 Connell Drive, 5^th Floor, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922. We also have 26,000 square feet of office and production space in a company owned facility located at 2165 Technology Drive, Schenectady, New York 12308 which is leased to Astria Solutions Group, LLC.

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

The offices of our subsidiary Authentidate International, AG are located at Großenbaumer Weg 6, 404072 Dusseldorf. We lease approximately 820 square meters at an annual rent of approximately $200,000 pursuant to a lease agreement which expired on May 31, 2007. We are currently leasing this facility on a month to month basis and have an option to extend the lease for additional one-year terms.

ITEM 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We were 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 and Shore Venture was the defendant to an action commenced by Berwyn Capital. The third party complaint alleged a claim for breach of contract and indemnification. On November 13, 2006 we entered into a settlement agreement with Berwyn Capital and on January 19, 2007 we entered into a settlement agreement with Shore Venture Group and Berwyn Capital, pursuant to which each of the parties agreed to a release of judgment, withdraw their appeals and a termination of all proceedings relating to this matter, without any admissions of wrongdoing or fault on our part. On January 23, 2007 Berwyn Capital, Shore Venture Group and we filed a joint stipulation of dismissal of appeals with the United States Court of Appeals for the 3^rd Circuit and on January 24, 2007 the United States Court of Appeals for the 3^rd Circuit issued an order dismissing the appeals. On January 30, 2007 each of Berwyn Capital and Shore Venture Group filed a satisfaction of judgment with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. All amounts paid by us under these settlement agreements were recorded as an expense during the year ended June 30, 2006.

We are the defendant in a claim filed by Shore Venture Group in the federal 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. The complaint in this case was filed on March 2, 2005 and an amended complaint was filed on or about April 26, 2005. On October 12, 2005, the parties entered into an agreement to arbitrate the claims asserted against us by Plaintiffs. On October 19, 2005, the Court approved and entered a Consent Order referring the case to arbitration by the American Arbitration Association and staying the lawsuit pending resolution of the arbitration. The plaintiffs seek additional shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, Authentidate, Inc., and rights under one or more of our patent applications. Shore Venture Group recently withdrew a number of claims in the arbitration, including a claim for damages in connection with an alleged copyright infringement. We had conducted extensive settlement negotiations with Shore Venture in an effort to resolve all claims between the parties. However, negotiations were unable to result in a mutually agreeable settlement. The lawsuit requested damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees. On October 18, 2006, Shore Venture filed a demand for

18

Table of Contents

arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. On December 4, 2006 we filed a response to the demand and are defending the action vigorously. Discovery has closed in this matter and an arbitration hearing began during the week of September 4, 2007. Based on the facts of which we are currently aware, management believes that the resolution of this claim, in the event decided adversely to us, will not have a material 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.

Between June and August 2005, six purported shareholder class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against our company and certain of our current and former officers and directors. Plaintiffs in those actions alleged that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities law claims were based on the allegations that we failed to disclose that our August 2002 agreement with the USPS contained certain performance metrics, and that the USPS could cancel the agreement if we did not meet these metrics; that we did not disclose complete and accurate information as to our performance under, and efforts to renegotiate, the USPS agreement; and that when we did disclose that the USPS might cancel the agreement, the market price of our stock declined. On October 5, 2005 the Court consolidated the class actions under the caption In re Authentidate Holding Corp. Securities Litigation., C.A. No. 05 Civ. 5323 (LTS), and appointed the Illinois State Board of Investment as lead plaintiff under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The plaintiff filed an amended consolidated complaint on January 3, 2006, which asserted the same claims as the prior complaints and also alleged that Authentidate violated the federal securities laws by misrepresenting that it possessed certain patentable technology. On July 14, 2006, the Court dismissed the amended complaint in its entirety; certain claims were dismissed with prejudice and plaintiff was given leave to replead those claims which were not dismissed with prejudice. In August 2006, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which does not assert any claims relating to the company’s patents or under the Securities Act of 1933, but which otherwise is substantially similar to the prior complaint. The second amended complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages. The company moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on November 13, 2006, the motion is pending before 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. These federal court derivative actions were based on substantially the same events and factual allegations as the original class action complaints and asserted claims that Authentidate was injured by an alleged breach of fiduciary duty, waste, mismanagement, violations of Sarbanes-Oxley, and misappropriation of inside information. The derivative complaints sought, among other things, damages, equitable relief, restitution, and payment of costs and expenses incurred in the litigation (including legal fees). Plaintiffs in the derivative actions entered into a Court-approved stipulation providing for the consolidation of their actions and the selection of Maxine Philips as the lead plaintiff. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on November 14, 2005, which defendants moved to dismiss on January 13, 2006 on the ground that plaintiffs had not made a proper demand on the Board of Directors. On March 20, 2006, before the motion to dismiss was decided, plaintiffs in the federal court derivative action voluntarily dismissed their complaint without prejudice. On April 6, 2006, the court held a hearing to confirm, among other things, that plaintiffs had not received any payment or other consideration for the dismissal of their claims. At the hearing plaintiffs agreed to file a motion seeking court approval for the dismissal. Plaintiffs filed this motion on April 18, 2006 and the court entered an order dismissing the consolidated complaint on May 5, 2006. Subsequently, on May 25, 2006, the plaintiffs sent a letter to the Board of Directors demanding that it file a derivative suit on behalf of the company which asserts the same claims as the complaint which plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed only weeks earlier.

On December 13, 2005, a purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the Supreme Court of New York, Schenectady County, entitled Elkin v. Goldman et al., No. 2005-2240. Plaintiff in that action demanded that our Board of Directors file a derivative action on behalf of the company against nine of its current and

former directors and officers. The complaint asserts the same claims that are alleged in the first federal court derivative actions. The Board of Directors, following a recommendation from a committee of the Board composed of outside, non-employee directors who were advised by independent outside counsel, concluded that commencing litigation, as demanded by Elkin, is not in our best interest.

In addition, in August 2005, we were notified of the filing of a complaint in which the plaintiff alleged that our products and systems incorporating secure time stamping technology, including but not limited to the USPS Electronic Postmark system, infringed certain of the plaintiff’s patent rights. The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and was titled TimeCertain LLC vs. Authentidate Holding Corporation, Authentidate, Inc. and NCipher Inc. As a result of a Markman hearing to determine the meaning of the claims of the patents at issue, on December 22, 2006 the Court issued a final Order construing the claims of the patents at issue. The claim construction Order was very favorable for us and adopted the meanings that we propounded for the claim terms. On February 16, 2007, the parties entered into a settlement agreement favorable to the company pursuant to which TimeCertain agreed to dismiss all of its claims in the lawsuit with prejudice. On February 26, 2007, the Court issued a final Order dismissing all of TimeCertain’s claims with prejudice, thereby ending this lawsuit.

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

Overview

Authentidate Holding Corp. (AHCor the company) is a worldwide provider of software and web-based services that enable enterprises and individuals to securely conduct the trusted exchange of electronic content. AHC and its subsidiaries provide software applications and web-based services that address a variety of business needs for our customers, including raising service levels, reducing costs, improving productivity and enhancing compliance with regulatory requirements. Our scalable offerings are primarily targeted at enterprises and office professionals and incorporate security technologies such as electronic signing, identity management and content authentication to electronically facilitate secure and trusted transactions. The company operates its business in the United States and Germany, with technology and service offerings that address emerging growth opportunities based on the regulatory and legal requirements specific to each market.

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

During fiscal 2007, the company took several steps to sharpen its strategic business focus and completed the realignment of its operations accordingly. In the United States, it continued to invest in developing its Inscrybe™ platform, which brings together an integrated suite of capabilities to enable the trusted exchange of content seamlessly via fax or over the web, and incorporates use of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Electronic Postmark^® (EPM). As discussed below, utilizing this platform, the company launched Inscrybe Healthcare, a trusted content exchange service specifically targeting the needs of enterprises in the healthcare sector, and divested its Document Management Solutions and Systems Integration businesses that were strategically not relevant to its business direction. Meanwhile, the company’s operating unit in Germany continued to grow acceptance for its electronic invoicing product, and made a successful entry into the German healthcare market with its security technology offerings.

In June 2007, the company announced that it had completed the sale of its Document Management Solutions and Systems Integration businesses, including its wholly-owned subsidiary DJS Marketing Group, Inc., to Astria Solutions Group, LLC (“Astria”). Astria is a newly formed New York limited liability company organized by members of the acquired businesses’ senior management team. Under the terms of the definitive Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2007 (“Asset Purchase Agreement”), the company received approximately $7,100,000 for the acquired businesses and related assets (including cash of $750,000). Astria paid the company approximately $3,250,000 in cash, issued to the company a $2,000,000 seven-year note bearing an interest rate of 8.5% (“Note”), assumed approximately $1,600,000 in liabilities related to the acquired businesses, and agreed to pay the company approximately $270,000 based on the collection of deferred accounts receivable following the closing. In connection with the sale, Astria also entered into a seven-year lease for a portion of the building owned by the company in Schenectady, New York where the acquired businesses are located and received a six-month exclusive option from the company to purchase the land and building for $2,427,000.

The Note is secured by the assets of the acquired businesses sold by the company to Astria. The Note is subordinated to the interests of the senior creditor and mezzanine lender to Astria as set forth in an intercreditor and subordination agreement among the company, Astria, and the senior creditor and mezzanine lender.

The Document Management Solutions and Systems Integration businesses and the related assets and liabilities have been presented as discontinued operations and assets held for sale in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The results of operations for discontinued operations were not significant for these periods.

The company is in the business of providing software and web-based services that enable enterprises and individuals to securely conduct the trusted exchange of electronic content, and operates its business in the United States and Germany. In the United States the business is engaged in the development and sale of hosted applications and services largely based on the Inscrybe platform and related capabilities. In the United States we also offer our proprietary content authentication technology in the form of the USPS Electronic Postmark^® (EPM) which may be accessed independently or indirectly by virtue of inclusion in Authentidate’s applications and services. In Germany the business is engaged in the development and sale of software applications that provide electronic signature and time stamping capabilities for a variety of corporate processes including electronic billing and archiving solutions. Our web-based services and software applications are compliant with applicable digital signature rules and guidelines. We sell our software applications and software services through a direct sales effort and reseller arrangements.

During 2005 we shifted to our current solutions-based market approach in the United States to facilitate the adoption of our content authentication technology (EPM) and to grow our business in the healthcare sector. Through August 2006, we developed several applications to complement our CareCert™ service which was developed in 2004. Building on our experience with customers in our target markets, in October 2006, we launched Inscrybe™ Healthcare, a new service based on the Inscrybe platform that accommodates interchangeable modes of communication including the web and faxes, and is designed to enable healthcare industry participants, such as physicians, hospitals, home health agencies, equipment providers, pharmacies, payors, regulators and others to securely exchange a variety of documents such as medical records, and forms for approving and supporting claims. Through July 2007 we migrated our legacy services, including CareCert, Medicaid Prior Authorizations, and Electronic Claims Attachment offerings to the Inscrybe Healthcare service, and also added a digital Plan of Care module (ePOC) which is designed to enable home health agencies to exchange and authenticate Medicare-required documentation with physicians and, in April 2007, announced our Physician Order module (eOrder) which offers a robust array of benefits to homecare providers, including the ability to better serve referring physicians. The eOrder module enables physicians’ offices and other healthcare professionals to place orders with homecare providers and complete the associated paperwork simply and securely using a web-based catalog. We plan to develop additional modules to provide our customers with an integrated suite of applications to serve their business needs.

In November 2006, we began a beta test of Inscrybe Office™ and launched a commercial version of this new web-based service in August 2007. Inscyrbe Office is based on Authentidate’s proven Inscrybe suite of capabilities delivering proven value to customers in the healthcare sector today, and brings together the power of online communications with a number of powerful features, such as electronic signatures, content authentication and trusted time stamps using the USPS EPM seal, along with a host of other features that simplify the online exchange of critical and time-sensitive documents. Inscrybe Office is available to anyone with web access, via MyInscrybe.com.

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

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

Table of Contents

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

Critical Accounting Policies

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

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

Long-Lived Assets

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

Software Development Costs

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

Goodwill

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

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived from transaction fees for web-based services, software licenses, maintenance arrangements, hosting services, Electronic Postmark (EPM) sales and post contract customer support services.

26

Table of Contents

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

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

Management Estimates

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

Stock-Based Compensation

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

The company computed the estimated fair values of all share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions set forth in the following table. The company based its estimate of the life of these options on historical averages over the past five years. The company retained a third party valuation firm to calculate expected volatility which was based on the company’s historical stock volatility, historical stock

27

Table of Contents

volatility of comparable companies in the industry and implied volatilities based on the spot market for traded options in the company and comparable companies in the industry. The assumptions used in the company’s Black-Scholes calculations for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

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

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 cash, cash equivalents and investments with several high credit quality financial institutions and typically invest in AA or better rated investments. Our credit customers are not concentrated in any specific industry or business. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year 2006

Revenues increased to $4,998,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $4,493,000 for the prior year. These results reflect increases in transaction volumes and new customers in both our US and German operations. Revenues for the prior year include approximately $623,000 related to the amortization of deferred revenue and other one-time revenues. Excluding these one-time revenues from the prior year results, revenues from our continuing businesses increased approximately 29%. There were no comparable revenues in fiscal 2007.

Cost of revenues increased to $2,134,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1,222,000 for the prior year. This increase reflects the increase in revenues discussed above and an increase in higher cost software services revenues in the overall sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased to $16,843,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $17,887,000 for 2006. This decrease reflects cost management activities during the year which were offset in-part by legal expenses for completed and on-going actions of approximately $2,400,000.

28

Table of Contents

The prior year amount also includes incremental legal expenses of approximately $1,150,000 and accrued severance of approximately $670,000.

Product development expenses decreased to $2,594,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $3,575,000 for 2006. Product development spending relates primarily to our investment in our US business and fluctuates period to period based on the amounts capitalized. Total spending for the year, including capitalized amounts, was $4,124,000 compared to $5,339,000 for the prior year. The decrease in total spending for 2007 relates primarily to lower headcount during the year.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $1,499,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1,353,000 for 2006. This increase is due primarily to an increase in amortization expense for capitalized software development costs.

Interest and other income decreased to $1,954,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $2,109,000 for 2006. This decrease reflects lower cash and investment balances during 2007 as we continue to invest in our business offset in part by higher interest rates during the current year and rent and interest income from Astria.

The gain on disposal in 2007 relates to the sale of businesses discussed above. The reported gain does not include any value for the subordinated note receivable issued to us in connection with the sale. The additional gain, if any, related to the note will be recorded as management determines that the debtor’s cash flows from operations are sufficient to repay the debt, using the guidance under staff Accounting Bulletin No. 103—Topic 5U “Gain Recognition on Sale of a Business or Operating Assets to a Highly Leveraged Entity”.

Net loss from continuing and discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $15,063,000, or $0.44 per share, compared to $17,823,000, or $0.52 per share, for 2006. Operating results for discontinued operations were not significant for the periods presented. The decrease in net loss reflects the increase in revenues and the cost management activities discussed above. These improvements were offset to some extent by the higher legal expenses during fiscal 2007.

Fiscal Year 2006 Compared to Fiscal Year 2005

Revenues increased to $4,493,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $3,772,000 for 2005 due primarily to increases in transaction volumes and new customers in both our US and German operations. Revenues for 2006 and 2005 included approximately $623,000 and $950,000, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred revenue and other one-time revenues. Excluding these one-time amounts, revenues from our continuing businesses increased approximately 37%.

Cost of revenues decreased slightly to $1,222,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,290,000 for 2005. These amounts are comparable from year to year and reflect the amount of software services revenues in the overall sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $17,887,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $15,146,000 for 2005. This increase is due primarily to share-based compensation expense of $1,398,000 which was not required to be expensed in 2005, litigation settlement and litigation expense accruals for on-going actions of $1,150,000 and severance accruals of approximately $670,000 which offset cost management activities during 2006.

Product development expenses increased to $3,575,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $2,704,000 for 2005. This increase in product development spending is due primarily to our investment in our US business and fluctuates period to period based on the amounts capitalized. Total spending for the year, including capitalized amounts, was $5,339,000 compared to $3,094,000 for the prior year. Product development

Table of Contents

expenses also include $243,000 in 2006 related to share-based compensation expense which was not required to be expensed in 2005.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $1,353,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,082,000 for 2005. This increase is due primarily to the increase in fixed assets during 2005 and 2006.

Interest and other income increased to $2,109,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1,662,000 for 2005. This increase reflects higher interest rates during fiscal 2006, net of the effect of lower cash and investment balances as we continue to invest in our business.

Net loss from continuing and discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $17,823,000, or $0.52 per share, compared to $19,184,000, or $0.57 per share, for 2005. The 2005 net loss includes a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $4,767,000. After giving effect to this charge, the net loss for 2006 increased by approximately $3,406,000 compared to the net loss for 2005. This increase reflects the higher SG&A and product development expenses discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

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

Property, plant and equipment expenditures totaled approximately $329,000 software license expenditures totaled approximately $444,000 and capitalized software development expenditures totaled approximately $1,530,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. We have developed and intend to continue to develop new applications to grow our business and address new markets.

Cash Flows

At June 30, 2007, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities amounted to approximately $31,631,000 and total assets at that date were $48,704,000. These amounts have decreased since June 30, 2006 by $14,274,000 and $15,830,000, respectively, as we utilized cash principally to fund operating losses, product development activities, changes in working capital and capital expenditures for corporate infrastructure during the year ended June 30, 2007. Cash used for the period also includes expenditures of approximately $2,800,000 for completed and on-going legal actions and $490,000 for payment of accrued severance obligations. We expect to continue to use cash to fund operating losses, product development activities and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Net cash used by operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $14,852,000 compared to $13,743,000 for 2006. This increase is due primarily to the legal and severance expenditures discussed above which offset savings from cost and cash management activities during fiscal 2007.

Net cash used by investing activities, excluding purchases and sales of marketable securities, was $2,303,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $3,188,000 for 2006. This decrease relates primarily to the amount of product development spending capitalized in 2007 and lower expenditures for equipment in 2007.

Cash flows for discontinued operations were not significant for 2007 and 2006. Net proceeds from the sale of these operations amounted to approximately $2,300,000 in fiscal 2007.

To date we have been largely dependent on our ability to sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities to obtain financing to fund our operating deficits, product development activities and capital expenditures. Under our current operating plan to grow our business, our ability to improve operating cash flow has been highly dependent on the market acceptance of our offerings. 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:

Financing Activities

We have not engaged in any external financing activities in fiscal 2007 and 2006.

Other Matters

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

Presently, 28,000 shares of our Series B preferred stock, originally issued in a private financing in October 1999, remain outstanding. As of October 1, 2004, our right to redeem these shares of Series B preferred stock is vested. Accordingly, we have the right to repurchase such shares at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The holder, however, has the right to convert these shares of preferred stock into an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $1.40. In the event we elect to redeem these securities, the holder will be able to exercise its conversion right subsequent to the date that we issue a notice of redemption but prior to the deemed redemption date as would be set forth in such notice. As of June 30, 2007, no shares of the Series B preferred stock have been redeemed.

We are the defendant or respondent in a proceeding arising out of our contractual relationships with Shore Venture Group, LLC alleging that we have infringed certain patent rights and other matters. The complaint, the relief sought and the current status of the action is described in detail under the caption “Legal Proceedings,” appearing in Item 3 of Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 “Legal Proceedings,” appearing in Item 3 of Part I of 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.

Commitments

Office Lease Commitments

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

The offices of our subsidiary Authentidate International, AG are located at Großenbaumer Weg 6, 404072 Dusseldorf. We lease approximately 820 square meters at an annual rent of approximately $200,000 pursuant to a lease agreement which expired on May 31, 2007. We are currently leasing this facility on a month to month basis and have an option to extend the lease for additional one-year terms.

Severance Other and Commitments

Effective November 15, 2004, John T. Botti departed as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Subsequently, Mr. Botti 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 severance payments as set forth in his employment agreement equal to his base salary for twenty-four months through January 2007. We also agreed to retain him to provide consulting services to us for a one year term. 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 were accrued in fiscal 2005.

On January 9, 2006, we entered into a Termination Agreement and a separate consulting agreement with John J. Waters, our Executive Vice President–Chief Administrative Officer and a member of our board of directors. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Mr. Waters relinquished his employment position in favor of a consulting relationship, effective as of January 1, 2006. We agreed to pay and/or provide to Mr. Waters (a) an amount of approximately $350,000, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the consulting agreement; (b) an amount of $5,000 for attorneys’ fees; and (c) the accelerated vesting of all options granted to him, along with the continuation of the exercise period for the duration of their original term. Mr. Waters continues to serve on our board of directors. The full cost of this arrangement was accrued in fiscal 2006 and paid in full by September 30, 2006.

On January 26, 2006, we entered into a Termination Agreement with Dennis H. Bunt, our Chief Financial Officer, and he resigned his position effective April 30, 2006. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, we agreed to pay and/or provide Mr. Bunt (a) a severance payment of approximately $315,000, payable in equal installments over a period of twenty-four months; (b) an additional payment of $33,000 as additional severance and reimbursement of certain expenses; and (c) the accelerated vesting of all options granted to him and the continuation of the exercise period in which he may exercise such options. The full cost of this arrangement was accrued during the year fiscal 2006.

Contractual Commitments

A summary of the contractual commitments associated with our lease obligations as of June 30, 2007 is as follows (in thousands):

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, 2007, we were not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

Present Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt this provision in fiscal 2008 and do not believe such adoption will have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. FAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value. FAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. FAS No. 159 provides an option to report selected financial

33

Table of Contents

assets and financial liabilities using fair value. The standard establishes required presentation and disclosures to facilitate comparisons with companies that use different measurements for similar assets and liabilities. FAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption allowed only if FAS No. 157 is also adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have approximately $22,900,000 invested in high quality, short term investments as of June 30, 2007. We do not believe that any of our financial instruments have significant risk associated 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, 2007, our unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $31,600,000, most of which was invested in asset backed short term investments, commercial paper, and money market accounts. The remainder of our cash was in non-interest bearing checking accounts used to pay operating expenses.

ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA

The Financial Statements are annexed hereto at Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENT WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

We have had no disagreements with our accountants on any accounting or financial disclosures.

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 at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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 errors and all fraud. A control

34

Table of Contents

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

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, 2007. 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, 2007. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007 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

There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.

Pursuant to its charter, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s tasks include reviewing and recommending to the Board issues relating to the Board’s composition and structure; establishing criteria for membership and evaluating corporate policies relating to the recruitment of Board members; implementing and monitoring policies regarding principles of corporate governance in order to ensure the Board’s compliance with its fiduciary duties to the company and its shareholders; and making recommendations regarding proposals submitted by shareholders. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting.

Executive Committee. We established our Executive Committee on December 7, 2005. The members of this committee are F. Ross Johnson, Suren Pai, Ranjit Singh and John Waters. Mr. Johnson serves as Chairman of this committee. The primary purpose of the Executive Committee is to exercise the authority of the board when the board is not in session, subject to certain limitations. For example, the Executive Committee has no power or authority to: (i) make, alter or repeal any by-law or any resolution or resolutions of the directors designating an Executive Committee; (ii) elect, appoint or remove any executive officer or director; (iii) approve any transaction in which any member of the Executive Committee may have a direct or indirect interest; (iv) approve the borrowing of any money greater than $500,000 per transaction in the aggregate; (v) approve any agreement to acquire the entirety or majority of any business or major assets of any other person or entity; (vi) change our principal business; (vi) designate or authorize the issuance of any shares of preferred stock; (vii) undertake a private placement or financing transaction involving debt or equity securities in excess of $500,000; or (viii) vary, by more than 10%, any budget previously approved by the board. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Executive Committee did not meet.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities we issue. Officers, directors and greater than 10%

shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports received by us, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% shareholders were complied with during the 2007 fiscal year.

Code of Ethics

On July 31, 2003, our Board of Directors approved the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for our company. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct covers all our employees and Directors, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we did not waive any provisions of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct was filed as Exhibit 14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. We have also posted our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct on our Web site at http://www.authentidate.com, and may be found as follows:

We will post any amendments to or waivers from our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct at that location.

ITEM 11.    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Board of Directors, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee and senior management share responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring our executive compensation program, with the Board making the final determination with respect to executive compensation. The goal of our executive compensation program is to provide a competitive total compensation package to our executive management team through a combination of base salary, annual cash incentive bonuses, long-term equity incentive compensation and broad-based benefits programs. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains our compensation objectives, policies and practices with respect to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and certain of our other most highly-compensated executive officers as determined in accordance with applicable SEC rules, which are collectively referred to herein as the Named Executive Officers.

Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives:

Our Executive Compensation Program

Our executive compensation consists of base salary, cash incentive bonuses, long-term equity incentive compensation and broad-based benefits programs. Consistent with the emphasis we place on performance-based

41

Table of Contents

incentive compensation, cash incentive bonuses and long-term equity incentive compensation in the form of stock options constitute a significant portion of our total executive compensation. We structured cash incentive bonuses to be primarily tied to the achievement of predetermined company and individual performance goals, which are established at the beginning of each year (or in the case of Named Executive Officers who have commenced employment during the applicable fiscal year, at the time of or shortly following their engagement by our company), on an individualized basis.

Within the context of the overall objectives of our compensation program, we determined the specific amounts of compensation to be paid to each of our executives in 2007 based on a number of factors including:

Each of the primary elements of our executive compensation is discussed in detail below, including a description of the particular element and how it fits into our overall executive compensation program. In the descriptions below, we highlight particular compensation objectives that we have designed our executive compensation program to address. However, it should be noted that we have designed the various elements of our compensation program to complement each other and thereby collectively serve all of our executive compensation objectives. Accordingly, whether or not specifically mentioned below, we believe that each element of our executive compensation program, to a greater or lesser extent, serves each of our compensation objectives.

Base Salary

Our approach is to pay our executives a base salary that is competitive with those of other executive officers in our peer group of competitive companies. We believe that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. We also believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their overall performance. The base salary of each Named Executive Officer is reviewed annually, and may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of such executive officer’s employment agreement, where applicable, and certain performance criteria, including, without limitation: (i) individual performance and experience; (ii) our performance as a company; (iii) the functions performed by the executive officer; (iv) past salary; and (v) changes in the compensation peer group in which we compete for executive talent. Discretion is used to determine the weight given to each of the factors listed above and such weight may vary from individual to individual and the Management Resources and Compensation Committee may decline to assign relative weight or ranking to these factors, in its discretion. Evaluations of base salary are made regardless of whether a Named Executive Officer has entered into an employment agreement with us, and annual adjustments, if any, to the base salary of our Named Executive Officers are analyzed within the context of the terms and conditions of such employment agreements. Although evaluations of and recommendations as to base salary are made by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee and senior management, the ultimate determination is made by the Board of Directors. Salary levels for each of our Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, were also based in part upon evaluations and recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer.

42

Table of Contents

To the extent that we have entered into employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers, the base salaries of such individuals reflect the initial base salaries that we negotiated with them at the time of their initial employment or promotion and our subsequent adjustments to these amounts to reflect market increases, the growth and stage of development of our company, our executives’ performance and increased experience, any changes in our executives’ roles and responsibilities and other factors. The initial base salaries that we negotiated with our executives were based on our understanding of base salaries for comparable positions at similarly situated companies at the time, the individual experience and skills of, and expected contribution from, each executive, the roles and responsibilities of the executive, the base salaries of our existing executives and other factors. We have entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Pai, Marshall and Wendenburg, the terms of which are summarized below.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the base salary of Mr. Pai averaged $362,500, reflecting a mid-year increase of $25,000. In January 2007, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Pai pursuant to which his base salary for the remainder of fiscal 2007 was set at $375,000. During fiscal 2007, the base salary of Mr. Marshall was $260,000, reflecting no change from the rate we compensated him during fiscal 2006. Mr. Marshall’s employment with us commenced in February 2006. During fiscal 2007, the base salary of Mr. Wendenburg was 210,000 Euros, reflecting a change of 10,000 Euros that was effective in April 2006 prior to the end of fiscal 2006.

Cash Incentive Bonuses

Consistent with our emphasis on performance incentive compensation programs, our executives are eligible to receive cash incentive bonuses primarily based upon their performance as measured against predetermined company and individual goals covering operations, business development and commercialization, and corporate and financial achievements. These goals are recommended by senior management to the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, and then by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee to the Board of Directors, at the beginning of each year. The goals are ultimately set by the Board of Directors. If a Named Executive Officer joined our company during a particular year, these performance goals are established at the time of or shortly following their employment. The primary objective of our cash incentive bonuses is to motivate and reward our Named Executive Officers for meeting our short-term objectives using a performance-based compensation program with objectively determinable goals that are specifically tailored for each executive. In addition, we may reserve a portion of each executive’s annual cash incentive bonus to be paid at our discretion based on the executive’s overall performance. We maintain this discretionary portion of the annual cash incentive bonuses in order to motivate our executives’ overall performance and their performance relating to matters that are not addressed in the predetermined performance goals that we set. We believe that every important aspect of executive performance is not capable of being specifically quantified in a predetermined objective goal. For example, events outside of our control may occur after we have established the executives’ performance goals for the year that require our executives to focus their attention on different or other strategic objectives.

We establish the target amount of our cash incentive bonuses at a level that represents a meaningful portion of our executives’ currently paid out cash compensation, and set additional threshold and maximum performance levels above and below these target levels. In establishing these levels, in addition to considering the incentives that we want to provide to our executives, we also consider the bonus levels for comparable positions at similarly situated companies, our historical practices and any contractual commitments that we have relating to executive bonuses.

Overall, the targets for the performance measures were set at levels that we believed to be achievable with strong performance by our executives. Although we cannot always predict the different events that will impact our business during an upcoming year, we set our performance goals for the target amount of annual incentive cash bonuses at levels that we believe will be achieved by our executives a majority of the time. Our maximum and threshold levels for these performance goals are determined in relation to our target levels, are intended to provide for correspondingly greater or lesser incentives in the event that performance is within a specified range

43

Table of Contents

above or below the target level, and are correspondingly easier or harder to achieve. We set the performance goals for the maximum amount at a level that we believe will be achieved in some years, but will not be achieved a majority of the time. At the end of each year, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of each executive officer and provides to the Board its recommendation for the amount of the cash incentive bonus to be paid to each such executive for that year, with the Board making the final determination as to the amount of the cash incentive bonus.

Based upon the employment agreements that they have entered into with us, Messrs. Pai, Marshall and Wendenburg are each entitled to a bonus of up to 50% of their base salary, contingent on the achievement of certain financial metrics. The employment agreements entered into with Messrs. Pai and Marshall further provided that their bonus was guaranteed during the first fiscal year, or portion thereof, of their employment. Our Management Resources and Compensation Committee has neither determined nor awarded bonus amounts for our 2007 fiscal year to our Named Executive Officers. During the 2007 fiscal year, Messrs. Pai, Marshall and Wendenburg received a bonus of $70,000, $48,438 and $53,050, respectively, which amounts were either earned under their employment agreements or for their performance for fiscal 2006. For our 2006 and 2005 fiscal years, we paid Mr. Pai a bonus amount of $175,000 in November 2005 pursuant to his original employment agreement with us in which he was entitled to a guaranteed bonus of $175,000 for his full year of service as our Chief Executive Officer and President. As Mr. Pai commenced employment with us in November 2004, this bonus amount is allocable over our 2005 and 2006 fiscal years. Because Mr. Marshall joined us in the middle of the 2006 fiscal year, his bonus for 2006 was prorated to reflect the portion of the year he worked for us. Mr. Wendenburg received a bonus of $153,508 in fiscal 2006 for performance in fiscal 2005. As noted above, the amount of the bonus paid to each Named Executive Officer also reflects the extent to which such executive achieved the milestones established at the beginning of the year, plus the amount of the discretionary bonus that is based on our assessment of their overall performance during the year.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

We believe that long-term company performance is best achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term performance by our executive officers through the use of stock-based awards. We grant stock options in order to provide certain executive officers with a competitive total compensation package and to reward them for their contribution to our long-term growth in value and the long-term price performance of our common stock. Grants of stock options are designed to align the executive officer’s interest with that of our stockholders. To assist us in retaining executives and encouraging them to seek long-term appreciation in the value of our stock, the benefits of the awards generally are not immediately realizable by the grantee as the awards vest over a specified period, usually three years, and therefore an employee must remain with us for a specified period to enjoy the full potential economic benefit of an award. We may consider as one of a number of factors the level of an executive officer’s realizable compensation from awards granted in prior years when making decisions with respect to awards to be granted to that executive officer for the most recently ended fiscal year.

Based on the stage of our company’s development and the incentives we are trying to provide to our executives, we have currently chosen to use stock options, which derive value exclusively from increases in stockholder value, as opposed to restricted stock or other forms of equity awards. Our decisions regarding the amount and type of long-term equity incentive compensation and relative weighting of these awards among total executive compensation have also been based on our understanding of market practices of similarly situated companies and our negotiations with our executives in connection with their initial employment or promotion by us.

Stock option awards provide our executive officers with the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price typically for a period of up to ten years, subject to continued employment with our company. Prior to January 2007, our stock option awards were granted with a five year exercise period. However, effective as of January 17, 2007, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee of the

44

Table of Contents

Board of Directors agreed to amend the existing option awards previously granted to all of our current employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, to provide for an exercise term of ten years from the original date of grant.

Stock options are earned on the basis of continued service to us and generally vest over three years, beginning with one-third vesting one year after the date of grant with the balance then vesting in equal monthly installments over the following two year period. Such vesting is intended as an incentive to such executive officers to remain with us and to provide a long-term incentive. However, we have granted options with alternative vesting arrangements to our Chief Executive Officer. In connection with the new employment agreement we entered into with Mr. Pai in January 2007, we granted him options which vest monthly installments over a period of two years.

Options are generally exercisable for a limited period of time after termination of employment (other than termination for cause) if vested, subject to certain rights that were negotiated in connection with the employment agreements we entered into with our Named Executive Officers. We do not require that any portion of the shares acquired be held until retirement, we do not have a policy prohibiting a director or executive officer from hedging the economic risks of his or her stock ownership and we do not have any minimum stock ownership requirements for executive officers and directors. However, each of our executive officers has a significant number of exercisable options. Stock option awards are made pursuant to our 2000 Employees Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”). See “Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” for a discussion of the change-in-control provisions related to stock options. The exercise price of each stock option granted under the 2000 Plan is based on the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date and the Management Resources and Compensation Committee has set the exercise price of the options granted to our Named Executive Officers other than our Chief Executive Office at a price greater than the fair market value in order to reinforce the incentive nature of the award.

In addition to periodically granting performance-based stock options, we also granted options to certain of our Named Executive Officers at the time of their hiring as an incentive to accept employment with us. For instance, as part of the employment agreements we entered into with Messrs. Pai and Marshall when they joined our company, we granted Mr. Pai options to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock and Mr. Marshall options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock. The options initially granted to Mr. Pai are exercisable at $6.58 per share and 100,000 shares vested on the grant date and the balance vested in equal monthly installments at the rate of 12,500 per month. The options granted to Mr. Marshall are exercisable at $4.50 per share and 100,000 shares vested on the first anniversary of the grant date and the balance vest in equal monthly installments over the subsequent 24 months.

Awards granted under the 2000 Plan are based on a number of factors, including: (i) the grantee’s position with us; (ii) his or her performance and responsibilities; (iii) the extent to which he or she already holds an equity stake with us; (iv) equity participation levels of comparable executives at other companies in the compensation peer group; (v) general corporate performance; (vi) the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations; (vii) the current stock price; and (viii) individual contribution to the success of our financial performance. However, the 2000 Plan does not provide any formulated method for weighing these factors, and a decision to grant an award is based primarily upon the evaluation by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, in consultation with senior management and the Board of Directors, of the past as well as the anticipated future performance and responsibilities of the individual in question. Awards to executive officers are first reviewed and approved by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, which then makes a recommendation for final approval by our Board of Directors. Option grants to executives other than the Chief Executive Officer are approved by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee based upon recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer based upon the individual executive’s performance and market data relating to option grants to individuals occupying similar positions at comparably situated companies.

Table of Contents

With respect to the compensation determination for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, in entering into a new employment agreement with Mr. Pai, determined that option grants were appropriate elements of the compensation package to be paid to him. Based on the foregoing, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee agreed to grant stock options to our executive officers as follows: Mr. Pai was granted 400,000 options, exercisable at $1.50 per share and vesting monthly over a period of two years and in August 2007, Messrs. Marshall and Wendenburg each were granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $1.36 per share.

Other Compensation

We maintain broad-based benefits that are provided to all employees, including health insurance, life and disability insurance and a 401(k) plan. Executive officers participate in these plans on the same terms as eligible, non-executive employees, subject to any legal limits on the amounts that may be contributed or paid to executive officers under these plans. Generally, we do not provide any special reimbursement for perquisites, such as country clubs, corporate aircraft, living or security expenses, for our employees or for any executive officers. However, in the employment agreements entered into with our Named Executive Officers, we agreed to pay the following amounts as additional compensation: our employment agreement with Mr. Pai requires us to provide him with a monthly expense allowance of $2,500 to cover automobile and other living expenses; our employment agreement with Mr. Marshall provided that in connection with his relocation, he received an expense allowance of $75,000 for reimbursement of relocation and living expenses and any unused balance of this allowance was payable as a cash award by January 31, 2007; and our employment agreement with Mr. Wendenburg, provides that we provide him a monthly payment of 1,500 Euros to cover automobile and related expenses.

Pension Benefits. We do not offer qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans to our executive officers or employees. In the future, we may elect to adopt qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans if we determine that doing so is in our best interests.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation. None of our Named Executive Officers participates in or has account balances in non-qualified defined contribution plans or other deferred compensation plans maintained by us. To date, we have not had a significant reason to offer such non-qualified defined contribution plans or other deferred compensation plans. In the future, we may elect to provide our executive officers or other employees with non-qualified defined contribution or deferred compensation benefits if we determine that doing so is in our best interests.

Severance and Change of Control Arrangements. As discussed more fully in the section below entitled “Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”, certain of our executive officers are entitled to certain benefits upon the termination of their respective employment agreements. The severance agreements are intended to mitigate some of the risk that our executive officers may bear in working for a company competing in a highly competitive and dynamic industry, such as ours.

Policies Regarding Tax Deductibility of Compensation. Within our performance-based compensation program, we aim to compensate the Named Executive Officers in a manner that is tax-effective for us. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code restricts the ability of publicly-held companies to take a federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to certain of their executive officers to the extent that compensation exceeds $1.0 million per covered officer in any fiscal year. However, this limitation does not apply to compensation that is performance-based. We consider these requirements in our compensation determinations. The non-performance-based compensation paid in cash to our executive officers in the 2007 fiscal year did not exceed the $1.0 million limit per officer, and we do not anticipate that the non-performance-based compensation to be paid in cash to our executive officers in 2007 will exceed that limit.

Stock Option Plans

Employee Stock Option Plan

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. 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.

Under the terms of the 2000 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, 2007, there were outstanding an aggregate of approximately 4,330,000 options under the 2000 Plan, with exercise prices ranging from $1.50 to $16.00.

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

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

Under the 2000 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) 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.

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. 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, pro rata, based on the time the director has served during the prior year. The term non-executive director refers to those of our directors who are 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.

50

Table of Contents

In February 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.

On January 17, 2007, at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders our shareholders approved the adoption of the following material amendments to our 2001 Director Plan:

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, 2007, there were 340,000 options outstanding under the 2001 Director Plan. The options outstanding have exercise prices ranging from $2.03 to $10.58. On September1, 2007, we granted an aggregate of 70,000 options to our non-employee directors pursuant to the 2001 Director Plan. These options have an exercise price of $1.32.

The exercise price for options granted under the 2001 Director Plan 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 Director Plan, expires ten years from the date of grant. The 2001 Director Plan 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 Director Plan. Options granted under the 2001 Director Plan are not qualified for incentive stock option treatment.
