Hooper Holmes Delays 10-K Filing Until April 25, 2006 to Complete Review

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., March 31, 2006 — Hooper Holmes, Inc. (AMEX: HH) announced today that the filing of its 2005 Form 10-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will be delayed beyond the March 31, 2006 extended due date. The delay is to complete a previously announced restatement of prior period earnings and an analysis of a goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge to be taken as of year-ended December 31, 2005. Hooper Holmes anticipates that it will be able to file its Form 10-K on or prior to April 25, 2006.

As previously announced in a press release and Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2006, the Company intends to restate certain of its prior period consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period indicated in the filing should no longer be relied upon. The restatements should not have any adverse effect on the Company’s business outlook for future fiscal periods, nor impact future cash flows from operations.

James Calver, the Company’s recently appointed Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The extensive review that we have undertaken underscores our commitment to ensure we have a solid foundation to build upon. We are working closely with our independent auditors to complete our review. I continue to believe the company has a strong asset base that has not been effectively utilized in the recent past. By implementing improved internal processes and controls, and maintaining financial discipline, I believe we have an opportunity to capitalize on the strength of our products, market position, and skilled employees.”
