ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Authentidate Holding Corp. (Authentidate or the company) is a worldwide provider of secure workflow management software and web-based services. Authentidate and its subsidiaries provide software applications and web-based services that address a variety of business needs for our customers, including increasing revenues, reducing costs, raising service levels, improving productivity, providing automated audit trails, enhancing compliance with regulatory requirements and reducing paper based processes. Our scalable offerings are primarily targeted at enterprises and office professionals and incorporate security technologies such as rules based electronic forms, intelligent routing and transaction management, electronic signing, content authentication, identity credentialing and verification and web and fax-based communication capabilities to electronically facilitate secure and trusted workflows. Authentidate currently operates its business in the United States and Germany with technology and service offerings that address emerging growth opportunities based on the regulatory and legal requirements specific to each market. In the United States the business is engaged in the development and sale of web-based services largely based on our Inscrybe™ platform and related capabilities. In the United States, we offer our patent pending content authentication technology in the form of the United States Postal Service^® Electronic Postmark^® (EPM). In Germany the business is engaged in the development and sale of software applications that provide electronic signature and time stamping capabilities for a variety of corporate processes including electronic billing and archiving solutions. Our web-based services and software applications are compliant with applicable digital signature rules and guidelines. We sell our web-based services and software applications through a direct sales effort and reseller arrangements.

General Business Developments during Fiscal Year 2008

During fiscal 2008 and the early part of fiscal 2009, we have continued to take steps to refine our strategic focus, complete our core service offerings, significantly expand our addressable markets, reduce operating costs and position the company for long-term growth. In the United States we have continued to invest in our Inscrybe™ platform with particular emphasis on refining and marketing Inscrybe Healthcare™, an automated and trusted workflow service targeting the needs of enterprises in the healthcare market. We also launched Inscrybe Office™, an electronic signing, document exchange and content authentication service for enterprises

1

and office professionals. Over this same period our business unit in Germany continued to grow acceptance for its electronic invoicing product, and focused on further penetrating the German healthcare market with its security technology offerings.

In July 2007, we 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 Authentidate 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.

On November 26, 2007, the Board of Directors promoted Mr. O’Connell Benjamin to the office of President to fill one of the positions formerly held by Mr. Suren Pai, who departed as our President and Chief Executive Officer and resigned as a member of our Board of Directors. In January 2008, we announced a comprehensive plan intended to accelerate revenue growth and enhance shareholder value in the second half of fiscal 2008 and beyond. The plan, set forth in a series of strategic initiatives, follows a detailed assessment of Authentidate’s business strategy and operations by senior management and the Board of Directors. Pursuant to this plan, the company has focused on enhancing its sales and customer service capabilities by leveraging its existing resources and adding resources, directing its marketing and sales efforts to address additional segments of the healthcare industry and continuing to manage operating costs. In January 2008, Authentidate completed the downsizing of its management team and certain product development resources and recorded severance costs in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2008.

In June 2008 we formed a joint venture with EncounterCare Solutions, Inc., a provider of technology and services for the home healthcare marketplace. The joint venture called ExpressMD™ Solutions will provide in-home patient vital signs monitoring systems and services to improve care for patients with chronic illnesses and reduce the cost of care by delivering results to their health care providers via the Internet. ExpressMD Solutions combines EncounterCare’s Electronic House Call™ patient vital signs monitoring appliances with a specially designed web-based management and monitoring software module based on Authentidate’s Inscrybe™ Healthcare platform. The service enables unattended measurements of patients’ vital signs and related health information. Patients’ data is securely sent electronically to each patient’s health care provider for review. ExpressMD Solutions is designed to aid wellness and preventative care, and deliver better care to specific patient segments such as the elderly, special needs or pediatric patients with chronic illnesses who require regular monitoring of serious medical conditions. Using ExpressMD Solution’s offerings, health care providers will be able to easily view each specific patient’s vital statistics and make adjustments to the patient’s care plans via the Internet. ExpressMD Solution’s easy to use patient monitoring system is intended to provide patients with increased peace of mind and improved condition outcomes through a combination of care plan schedule reminders and comprehensive disease management education on their in-home communication unit. The service will provide intelligent routing to alert on-duty caregivers whenever a patient’s vital signs are outside of the practitioner’s pre-set ranges. Health care providers and health insurers are also expected to benefit by having additional tools to improve patient care, and reduce overall in-person and emergency room patient visits.

In August 2008, Authentidate entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the membership interests of Parascript LLC and certain of its subsidiaries for up to $10 million in cash, 30 million shares of AHC Group Inc. (“New Authentidate”) common stock, all of the shares of its German subsidiary Authentidate International AG, a 10%, five year junior unsecured note in the aggregate principal amount of $20 million, subject to adjustments, and contingent consideration based on the financial performance of a newly formed business unit to exploit certain markets for Parascript’s image analysis and pattern recognition technology. Principal and interest on the note are subject to certain restrictions on payment based on available cash flow. The

2

contingent consideration is payable in New Authentidate common stock valued at $3.00 per share based on ten times the average EBITDA achieved by the new business unit for the fiscal years ending 2010 and 2011. The transaction is contingent upon certain events, including Authentidate shareholder approval, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will close as anticipated. Authentidate will account for this transaction using the purchase method of accounting. As a result, the assets and liabilities of Parascript LLC will be recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date that the transaction occurs. For further information regarding this transaction, see the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed on behalf of New Authentidate on August 13, 2008.

We intend to continue our efforts to market our software applications and web-based services in our target 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, 2008 one customer accounted for approximately 18% 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 U.S. 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:

• eReferral—automates the entire order placement and tracking process between the physician office and the homecare provider.

• eCMN—provides an automated process for certificates of medical necessity, written orders and other documentation required by home medical equipment suppliers to support reimbursement of equipment and service claims.

• ePOC—enables online processing of plan of care forms between home health agencies, skilled care providers and physicians to facilitate timely patient care and reimbursement.

• eCA—provides an electronic submission and tracking process for claims attachments required for proper processing of healthcare claims.

• ePA—automates the processing management of prior authorizations, prior approvals and treatment authorization requests required by state Medicad programs and certain healthcare plans.

• MDKeyBank™—provides a technically compliant physicians credentialing tool that allows for the electronic signing of electronic medical forms online.

• Inscrybe Healthcare Discharge—defines workflows for patient discharge referrals, eligibility, verification and acceptances.

3

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 Web service—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 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

We compete in markets for our workflow management software and web-based services that 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. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the market for our services and solutions include features such as ease of use, quality/reliability of our offerings, scalability, features and functionality, customer service and support and price. Although we believe that our solutions compete favorably in respect of all these factors, there can be no assurance that we can maintain our competitive position against current or potential competitors.

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. Therefore, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards and customer requirements. Many of these competitors also have broader and more established distribution channels that may be used to deliver competing products or services directly to customers through bundling or other means. If such competitors were to bundle competing products or services for their customers, the demand for our products and services might be substantially reduced and the ability to distribute our products successfully and the utilization of our services would be substantially diminished.

New technologies and the expansion of existing technologies may increase competitive pressure. We cannot assure you that competing technologies developed by others or the emergence of new industry standards will not adversely affect our competitive position or render our security services or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete. In addition, our markets are characterized by announcements of collaborative relationships involving our competitors. The existence or announcement of any such relationships could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, we may not be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors, and competitive pressures that we face could materially harm our business.

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 ten foreign and one PCT patent applications pending relating to the technology and business processes underlying our services and applications.

5

We have registered the trademarks “Authentidate” and “CareCert” in the U.S., 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 U.S. 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, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $2,823,000, $2,594,000, and $3,575,000, 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 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. 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, 2008, we employed 70 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 use part-time employees and contract with third parties to provide support for various projects.

6

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.

Where to Find More Information

We file registration statements, periodic and current reports, proxy statements, and other materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Room 1580, Washington, DC 20549.

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 and we presently own 100% 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, 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 $15,811,000, $15,063,000, and $17,823,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $137,000,000 as of June 30, 2008. 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 $14,903,000, $14,852,000, and $13,743,000 in cash for continuing operating activities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 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 at least the next twelve months. No assurances can be given that we will be able to attain sales levels and support our costs through revenues derived from operations. If we are unable to attain projected revenue levels for our business, it may be necessary to raise additional capital to fund operations and to meet our obligations in the future.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K, several purported class action complaints were filed in federal court alleging that the company and certain of our current and former directors and former officers violated the federal securities laws. Subsequently, four purported shareholder derivative actions were filed against certain current and former directors and former officers based on allegations substantially similar to those set forth in the purported class actions. The expense of defending such litigation may be substantial and the time required to defend the actions could divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, an unfavorable outcome in such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

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

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

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

Our future success depends upon the continued service of our key management, technical, sales, finance, and other critical personnel. Other than our President, CFO and the President of our German operation, our key personnel do not have employment agreements and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain them. Key

9

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 123(R) 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 2008, 2007 and 2006 were higher than they would have been had we not been required to adopt FAS 123(R). This will continue to be the case for future periods. This and other possible changes to accounting standards, could adversely affect our reported results of operations. Further, accounting policies affecting software revenue recognition have been the subject of frequent interpretations, which could significantly affect the way we account for revenue related to our products. As we enhance, expand and diversify our business and product offerings, the application of existing or future financial accounting standards, particularly those relating to the way we account for revenue, could have a significant adverse effect on our reported results although not necessarily on our cash flows.

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

We evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill, acquired product rights, and other intangible assets, whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate that these assets might be impaired. Goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment at the end of each fiscal year, regardless of events and circumstances. In fiscal 2005 we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $4,800,000 for goodwill and other long-term intangible assets. As of June 30, 2008, 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 2008, we entered into a new one-year employment agreement with Mr. Jan Wendenburg, the Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate International, pursuant to which he will receive a base salary of approximately, 210,000 Euros. Further, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we advanced or made capital investments of approximately $4,227,000 to this subsidiary. We cannot provide any assurance that we will recoup any of these amounts from this subsidiary. We expect to incur additional costs in the future in connection with the operations of this subsidiary. However, if the proposed merger with Parascript is completed we will no longer own Authentidate International and will not incur additional costs in the future related to the operation of this subsidiary.

10

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. Our April 17, 2008 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office mailed a Notice of Allowance for another of our patent applications to issue as a patent. In addition, we have nine U.S., ten foreign and one PCT patent applications pending relating to the technology and business processes underlying our services and applications. However, some of the technology embodied in some of our current products cannot be patented. We have registered the trademarks “Authentidate” and “CareCert” in the U.S., 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 U.S. and certain foreign markets, including “Inscrybe,” “MyInscrybe” and “Inscrybe Office.” We continue to take steps to protect our intellectual property rights including filing additional trademark and patent applications where appropriate. We rely on confidentiality agreements with our key employees to the extent we deem it to be necessary. We further intend to file patent applications for any new products we may develop, to the extent that we believe that any technology included in such products is patentable. There can be no assurance that any patents in fact, will be issued or that any such patents that do issue will be effective to protect our products and services from duplication by other manufacturers or developers or to prevent our competitors from offering similar products and services.

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

11

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.

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, product obsolescence, technological change, customer spending, or other factors. If our revenues derived from our software and service offerings were to decline significantly, our business and operating results would be adversely affected. Additionally, for the year ended June 30, 2008 we reported that one customer accounted for approximately 18% of our consolidated revenues. As a result, if our relationships with this or other significant customers were disrupted we could lose a significant percentage of our anticipated revenues which could have material adverse effect on our business.

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

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

• customers’ budgetary constraints;

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

• the timing of customers’ budget cycles;

• delays caused by customers’ internal review processes;

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

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

We are unable to control or influence many of these factors. Further, we have experienced delays in the pace of adoption and use by our customers of our transaction-based offerings, such as Inscrybe Healthcare, which has adversely affected our earnings. We may experience similar delays with Inscrybe Office as well. During the sales cycle and the implementation period, we may expend substantial time, effort and money preparing contract

12

proposals, negotiating contracts and implementing solutions without receiving any related revenue. In addition, many of our expenses are relatively fixed in the short term, including personnel costs and technology and infrastructure costs. Accordingly, our inability to generate sufficient revenues from these offerings has a direct impact on our results of operations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

• damage from fire, power loss and other natural disasters;

• communications failures;

• software and hardware errors, failures or crashes;

• security breaches, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems; and

• other potential interruptions.

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

In addition, some of our web-based services may, at times, be required to accommodate higher than expected volumes of traffic. At those times, we may experience slower response times or system failures. Any

13

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:

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

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

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

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

• market acceptance and use of new technologies and standards;

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

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

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

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

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

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

14

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, 2008, we had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $105,000,000 available to offset future taxable income. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, following an “ownership change,” special limitations apply to the use by a “loss corporation” of its (i) net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards arising before the ownership change and (ii) net unrealized

15

built-in losses (“NUBILs”) (if such losses existed immediately before the ownership change and exceed a statutory threshold amount) recognized during the five years following the ownership change ((i) and (ii) are referred to collectively as the “Applicable Tax Attributes”). After an ownership change, the amount of the loss corporation’s taxable income for each post-change taxable year that may be offset by the Applicable Tax Attributes is limited to the product of the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (published by the IRS for the month of the ownership change) multiplied by the value of the loss corporation’s stock (the “Section 382 Limitation”). To the extent that the loss corporation’s Section 382 Limitation in a given taxable year exceeds its taxable income for the year, that excess increases the Section 382 Limitation in future taxable years.

As a result of the proposed merger transaction with Parascript discussed in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we may experience an ownership change. Under Section 382, the determination of whether an ownership change has occurred is based on ownership shifts involving persons or groups that are or are deemed to be “5% Stockholders.” If the merger results in an ownership change for Authentidate a Section 382 Limitation will apply to the Applicable Tax Attributes of Authentidate. We have not yet determined whether the merger will result in an ownership change. Further, whether or not the merger causes an ownership change, New Authentidate may experience an ownership change after the merger as a result of future changes in the ownership of its stock that could result in additional Section 382 Limitations.

Risks Related to the Proposed Merger

We have a significant portion of our capital invested in Auction Rate Securities.

Authentidate currently has approximately $10,825,000 at par value invested in Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”), which represents all of its marketable securities. While the face value of the ARS owned by Authentidate has not changed, the decline in the U.S. credit markets has impacted the liquidity of financial instruments, including ARS. As a result, the potential value of Authentidate’s ARS portfolio which may be realized upon the sale thereof may be less than the face value of the investments. Consequently, in the event the company is unable to receive sufficient cash funds from the sale of its ARS portfolio prior to the closing date of the planned acquisition of Parascript LLC, it may not be able to pay the closing cash payment for the transaction, and following the payment of the closing cash payment, New Authentidate may not have sufficient net working capital to fund its ongoing business operations and pay expenses related to the merger and the transactions contemplated by the subject agreement and plan of merger.

Authentidate’s Stockholders Will Be Substantially Diluted as a Result of the Proposed Merger with Parascript and the Parascript Members Will Own Approximately 46.4% of the Combined Company’s Outstanding Common Shares.

Upon the closing of the proposed merger between Authentidate and Parscript, the combined company, referred to as “New Authentidate”, will issue 30,000,000 shares of its common stock as part of the consideration for 100% of Parascript’s outstanding units in the merger. As of September 5, 2008, there were 34,614,833 shares of Authentidate common stock outstanding, and 41,056,934 shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. Upon completion of the merger, Parascript members will collectively own approximately 46.4% of New Authentidate’s outstanding common stock, and 42.2% of New Authentidate on a fully diluted basis. Therefore, after the merger, the Parascript members will have significant influence over matters of New Authentidate.

We May Fail to Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Merger.

The success of the merger will depend, in part, on New Authentidate’s ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining Authentidate and Parascript. The integration of Authentidate and Parascript will be a time consuming and expensive process and may disrupt their operations if it is not completed in a timely and efficient manner. In addition, Authentidate may not achieve anticipated synergies or other benefits of the merger. Following the merger, New Authentidate and Parascript must operate as a combined

16

organization utilizing common information and communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls and human resources practices. We may encounter the following difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating these operations:

• failure to successfully manage relationships with customers and other important relationships;

• failure of customers to continue using the services of the combined company;

• difficulties in successfully integrating the management teams and employees of Authentidate and Parascript;

• challenges encountered in managing larger operations;

• the loss of key employees;

• diversion of the attention of management from other ongoing business concerns;

• potential incompatibility of technologies and systems;

• potential impairment charges incurred to write down the carrying amount of intangible assets generated as a result of the merger; and

• potential incompatibility of business cultures.

If the combined company’s operations after the merger do not meet the expectations of existing customers of Authentidate and Parascript, then these customers may cease doing business with the combined company altogether, which would harm our results of operations and financial condition. If the management team is not able to develop strategies and implement a business plan that successfully addresses these difficulties, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.

Costs Associated with the Merger are Difficult to Estimate, May Be Higher than Expected and May Harm the Financial Results of the Combined Company.

We will incur substantial direct transaction costs associated with the merger, and additional costs associated with consolidation and integration of operations. If the total costs of the merger exceed estimates, or the benefits of the merger do not exceed the total costs of the merger, our financial results could be adversely affected.

The Merger May Result in Disruption of Authentidate’s and Parascript’s Existing Businesses, Distraction of Their Management and Diversion of Other Resources.

The integration of Authentidate’s and Parascript’s businesses may divert management time and resources from the main businesses of both companies. This diversion of time and resources could cause the market price of New Authentidate’s common stock to decrease. The new management will need to spend some of their time integrating Parascript’s and Authentidate’s operations. This could cause New Authentidate’s business to suffer.

Failure to complete the merger could negatively impact the stock price of Authentidate common stock and the future business and financial results of Authentidate because of, among other things, the market disruption that would occur as a result of uncertainties relating to a failure to complete the merger.

Although Authentidate and Parascript have agreed to make an effort to obtain stockholder and unitholder approval, respectively, of the proposals relating to the merger, there is no assurance that these proposals will be approved, and there is no assurance that Authentidate and Parascript will receive the necessary regulatory approvals or satisfy the other conditions to the completion of the merger. If the merger is not completed for any reason, we will be subject to several risks, including:

• Being required to pay the other company a termination fee, which each company is required to do in certain circumstances relating to the termination of the merger agreement.

• Having had the focus of management of each of the companies directed toward the merger and integration planning instead of on each company’s core business and other opportunities that could have been beneficial to the companies.

17

In addition, we would not realize any of the expected benefits of having completed the merger.

If the merger is not completed for any reason, the price of Authentidate common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price of Authentidate common stock reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed and that the related benefits will be realized, or as a result of the market’s perceptions that the merger was not consummated due to an adverse change in Authentidate’s business. In addition, Authentidate’s business may be harmed, and the price of Authentidate’s stock may decline as a result, to the extent that customers, suppliers and others believe that we cannot compete in the marketplace as effectively without the merger or otherwise remain uncertain about our future prospects in the absence of the merger. Customers may delay, redirect or defer purchasing decisions, which could negatively affect the business and results of operations of Authentidate, regardless of whether the merger is ultimately completed. Similarly, current and prospective employees of Authentidate may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the resulting company and choose to pursue other opportunities that could adversely affect Authentidate if the merger is not completed. This may adversely affect the ability of Authentidate to attract and retain key management and marketing and technical personnel, which could harm the companies’ businesses and results.

Some costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting, filing, printing and mailing, must be paid and expensed if the merger is not completed. In addition, if the merger is not completed and our board of directors determines to seek another merger or business combination, there can be no assurance that we will be able to find a partner willing to agree to more attractive terms than those which have been negotiated for in the merger.

The merger agreement limits Authentidate’s and Parascript’s ability to pursue an alternative proposal to the merger and requires Authentidate and Parascript to pay a termination fee of $3 million or $500,000, depending upon the circumstances surrounding termination.

The merger agreement prohibits Authentidate and Parascript from soliciting, initiating, encouraging or entertaining certain inquiries or acquisition proposals with any third party, subject to exceptions set forth in the merger agreement. The merger agreement also provides for the payment by Authentidate and Parascript of a termination fee of $3 million or $500,000 if the merger agreement is terminated in certain circumstances. These provisions limit our ability to pursue offers from third parties that could result in greater value to each company. The payment of this termination fee could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our company.

The Former Principal Members, Officers and Directors of Parascript after the Merger Will Own a Substantial Interest in Authentidate’s Voting Stock and Initially Control the Board of Directors.

Upon completion of the merger, Parascript’s former officers, directors and members who had greater than 5% of the voting power of Parascript’s common stock will, in the aggregate, beneficially own a substantial interest in Authentidate’s outstanding voting shares. In addition, former officers and members of Parascript will initially constitute a majority of the board of directors following the merger. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to substantially influence the outcome of matters submitted to Authentidate’s stockholders for approval, including:

• election of the board of directors;

• removal of any of the directors;

• amendment of the articles of incorporation or by-laws; and

• adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving Authentidate.

These stockholders will have substantial influence over the management and affairs of New Authentidate. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation involving New Authentidate, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a

18

tender offer for its shares which would prevent Stockholders from realizing the benefits of the transaction, such as a purchase price premium or significant increase in stock price.

The Market Price of Authentidate Common Stock May Decline as a Result of the Merger.

The market price of New Authentidate common stock may decline as a result of the merger if the integration of the Parascript and Authentidate businesses is unsuccessful or if the costs of implementing the integration are greater than expected. The market price also may decline if New Authentidate does not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or if the effect of the merger on New Authentidate’s financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts. In addition, our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the trading volume of our common stock has fluctuated significantly. Because of this periodic limited trading volume, the former Parascript members may not be able to sell quickly any significant number of the Authentidate shares, and any attempted sale of a large number of Authentidate shares will likely have a material adverse impact on the price of the Authentidate common stock. Because of the limited number of shares being traded at times, the price per share is subject to volatility and may continue to be subject to rapid price swings in the future.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock price is volatile and could decline.

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

• quarterly variations in our operating results;

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

• additions or departures of key personnel;

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

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

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

• sales of our common stock.

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

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.

19

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, 2008, the following options and warrants were outstanding:

• Stock options to purchase approximately 4,217,101 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.41 to $10.58 per share, not all of which are immediately exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is $3.87 per share. These stock options are employee and non-executive director options.

• Immediately exercisable warrants to purchase approximately 400,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.39 to $20.00 per share. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding warrants is $10.65.

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

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

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

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

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

Prior to June 11, 2008, Authentidate submitted a transfer application with NASDAQ to transfer listing of its common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market. On June 11, 2008, NASDAQ approved the transfer application, and Authentidate will be afforded an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 12, 2008, to comply with the minimum bid price requirement of The NASDAQ Capital Market.

ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

There are no unresolved staff comments.

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

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, Authentidate was named as 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. In this case, the claimants sought additional shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, Authentidate, Inc., and had withdrawn a number of other claims in the arbitration, including claims for damages in connection with an alleged copyright infringement and rights under one or more of our patent applications. An arbitration hearing in this matter concluded on September 10, 2007. On December 20, 2007, we received the decision of the arbitrators, which was rendered on December 19, 2007, awarding the claimants damages in the amount $1,079,262 plus interest in the amount of $563,676. The arbitrators further awarded the claimants per diem interest at the rate of $303 from December 12, 2007 through the date the award was rendered. Following a post-hearing briefing, the arbitrators awarded the claimants attorneys’ fees of $241,038 on January 31, 2008. The arbitration award extinguishes any interest of Shore Ventures in any shares of stock or stock options of Authentidate Holding Corp. or Authentidate, Inc. The full amount for this settlement was accrued as of December 31, 2007 and was paid in February 2008.

Between June and August 2005, six purported shareholder class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against our company and certain of our current and former directors and former officers. Plaintiffs in those actions alleged that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities law claims were based on the allegations that we failed to disclose that our August 2002 agreement with the USPS contained certain performance metrics, and that the USPS could cancel the agreement if we did not meet these

21

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

On December 13, 2005, a purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the Supreme Court of New York, Schenectady County, 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 former officers. The complaint asserts the same claims that are alleged in the first federal court derivative actions. The Board of Directors, following a recommendation from a committee of the Board composed of outside, non-employee directors who were advised by independent outside counsel, concluded that commencing litigation, as demanded by Elkin, is not in our best interest.

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.

As of September 5, 2008 there were approximately 468 holders of record of our common stock. We believe that there are in excess of 10,000 holders of our common stock.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception. We do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and plan to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Further, our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock with a preferential right to dividends. We currently have 28,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding which have the right to receive dividends equal to an annual rate of 10% of the issue price payable on a semi-annual basis.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we issued an aggregate of 77,897 restricted shares of our common stock in July 2008 to those of our non-executive directors that elected to receive shares of common stock in lieu of a portion of the cash fees earned for their service as members of our board of directors pursuant to our 2001 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan, as amended. The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Comparison of Cumulative Total Return—June 30, 2004 to June 30, 2008

Set forth below is a line graph comparing the total cumulative return on Authentidate’s common stock and the Nasdaq Composite Index and the Nasdaq Computer Index. Authentidate’s common stock is listed for trading in the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol ADAT. The comparisons in the graph below are based on historical data and are not intended to forecast the possible future performance of Authentidate common stock.

Listed below is the value of a $10,000 investment at each of the fiscal year ends presented:

Cumulative Total Shareholder Return at June 30,

	2003		2004		2005		2006		2007		2008
ADAT	$	10,000	$	31,168	$	7,578	$	7,550	$	4,387	$	1,168
Nasdaq Composite Index	$	10,000	$	12,619	$	12,675	$	13,385	$	16,042	$	14,130
Nasdaq Computer Index	$	10,000	$	12,458	$	12,373	$	12,303	$	15,450	$	14,403

(1) Assumes $10,000 was invested at June 30, 2003 in Authentidate and each Index presented.

(2) The comparison indices were chosen in good faith by management. Most of our peers are divisions of large multi-national companies, therefore a comparison is not meaningful. Through the first three quarters of fiscal 2007 we were involved in three distinct businesses: document imaging software, security software and computer systems integration, for which there is no peer comparison. Subsequently, we divested our document imaging and systems integration segments. As the Nasdaq Computer Index is compromised primarily of software, internet and similar companies, management believes that the relevance of the selected indices is not compromised by virtue of this divestiture.

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

Overview

Authentidate Holding Corp. (Authentidate or the company) is a worldwide provider of secure workflow management software and web-based services. Authentidate and its subsidiaries provide software applications and web-based services that address a variety of business needs for our customers, including increasing revenues, reducing costs, raising service levels, improving productivity, providing automated audit trails, enhancing compliance with regulatory requirements and reducing paper based processes. Our scalable offerings are primarily targeted at enterprises and office professionals and incorporate security technologies such as rules based electronic forms, intelligent routing and transaction management, electronic signing, content authentication, identity credentialing and verification and web and fax-based communication capabilities to electronically facilitate secure and trusted workflows. Authentidate currently operates its business in the United States and Germany with technology and service offerings that address emerging growth opportunities based on the regulatory and legal requirements specific to each market. In the United States the business is engaged in the development and sale of web-based services largely based on our Inscrybe™ platform and related capabilities. In the United States, we offer our patent pending content authentication technology in the form of the United States Postal Service^® Electronic Postmark^® (EPM). In Germany the business is engaged in the development and sale of software applications that provide electronic signature and time stamping capabilities for a variety of corporate processes including electronic billing and archiving solutions. Our web-based services and software applications are compliant with applicable digital signature rules and guidelines. We sell our web-based services and software applications through a direct sales effort and reseller arrangements.

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

During fiscal 2008 and the early part of fiscal 2009, we have continued to take steps to refine our strategic focus, complete our core service offerings, significantly expand our addressable markets, reduce operating costs and position the company for long-term growth. In the United States we have continued to invest in our Inscrybe™ platform with particular emphasis on refining and marketing Inscrybe Healthcare™, an automated and trusted workflow service targeting the needs of enterprises in the healthcare market. We believe our business will benefit from trends in the US healthcare industry to significantly reduce costs, shorten the length of hospital stays and shift patient care towards wellness and preventative care programs. As discussed below we have taken steps to focus our business in these areas, however, our progress will be impacted by the timing of customer contracts and implementations and the market acceptance of our services. We also launched Inscrybe Office™, an electronic signing, document exchange and content authentication service for enterprises and office professionals. Over this same period our business unit in Germany continued to grow acceptance for its electronic invoicing product, and focused on further penetrating the German healthcare market with its security technology offerings.

In July 2007, we 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 Authentidate 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.

27

On November 26, 2007, the Board of Directors promoted Mr. O’Connell Benjamin to the office of President to fill one of the positions formerly held by Mr. Suren Pai, who departed as our President and Chief Executive Officer and resigned as a member of our Board of Directors. In January 2008, we announced a comprehensive plan intended to accelerate revenue growth and enhance shareholder value in the second half of fiscal 2008 and beyond. The plan, set forth in a series of strategic initiatives, follows a detailed assessment of Authentidate’s business strategy and operations by senior management and the Board of Directors. Pursuant to this plan, the company has focused on enhancing its sales and customer service capabilities by leveraging its existing resources and adding resources, directing its marketing and sales efforts to address additional segments of the healthcare industry and continuing to manage operating costs. In January 2008, Authentidate completed the downsizing of its management team and certain product development resources and recorded severance costs in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2008.

In June 2008 we formed a joint venture with EncounterCare Solutions, Inc., a provider of technology and services for the home healthcare marketplace. The joint venture called ExpressMD™ Solutions will provide in-home patient vital signs monitoring systems and services to improve care for patients with chronic illnesses and reduce the cost of care by delivering results to their health care providers via the Internet. ExpressMD Solutions combines EncounterCare’s Electronic House Call™ patient vital signs monitoring appliances with a specially designed web-based management and monitoring software module based on Authentidate’s Inscrybe™ Healthcare platform. The service enables unattended measurements of patients’ vital signs and related health information. Patients’ data is securely sent electronically to each patient’s health care provider for review. ExpressMD Solutions is designed to aid wellness and preventative care, and deliver better care to specific patient segments such as the elderly, special needs or pediatric patients with chronic illnesses who require regular monitoring of serious medical conditions. Using ExpressMD Solution’s offerings, health care providers will be able to easily view each specific patient’s vital statistics and make adjustments to the patient’s care plans via the Internet. ExpressMD Solution’s easy to use patient monitoring system is intended to provide patients with increased peace of mind and improved condition outcomes through a combination of care plan schedule reminders and comprehensive disease management education on their in-home communication unit. The service will provide intelligent routing to alert on-duty caregivers whenever a patient’s vital signs are outside of the practitioner’s pre-set ranges. Health care providers and health insurers are also expected to benefit by having additional tools to improve patient care, and reduce overall in-person and emergency room patient visits.

In August 2008, Authentidate entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the membership interests of Parascript LLC and certain of its subsidiaries for up to $10 million in cash, 30 million shares of AHC Group Inc. (“New Authentidate”) common stock, all of the shares of its German subsidiary Authentidate International AG, a 10%, five year junior unsecured note in the aggregate principal amount of $20 million, subject to adjustments, and contingent consideration based on the financial performance of a newly formed business unit to exploit certain markets for Parascript’s image analysis and pattern recognition technology. Principal and interest on the note are subject to certain restrictions on payment based on available cash flow. The contingent consideration is payable in New Authentidate common stock valued at $3.00 per share based on ten times the average EBITDA achieved by the new business unit for the fiscal years ending 2010 and 2011. The transaction is contingent upon certain events, including Authentidate shareholder approval, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will close as anticipated. Authentidate will account for this transaction using the purchase method of accounting. As a result, the assets and liabilities of Parascript LLC will be recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date that the transaction occurs. For further information regarding this transaction, see the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed on behalf of New Authentidate on August 13, 2008.

We intend to continue our efforts to market our software applications and web-based services in our target 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

28

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-8 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. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling

29

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 and estimates of expected future behavior. The expected volatility was based on the company’s historical stock volatility and historical stock volatility of

30

comparable companies in the industry. The assumptions used in the company’s Black-Scholes calculations for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

	Risk Free Interest Rate	Dividend Yield	Volatility Factor	Weighted Average Option Life (Months)
Fiscal year 2008	4.5%	0%	74%	48
Fiscal year 2007	4.2%	0%	68% - 74%	42
Fiscal year 2006	3.3% - 4.2%	0%	70%	33

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 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007

Revenues increased to $6,067,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $4,998,000 for the prior year. These results reflect increases of approximately 38% in US revenues and 13% in German revenues from increases in transaction volumes and new customers.

Cost of revenues increased to $2,244,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $2,134,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase is due primarily to higher license and maintenance expenses.

Selling general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased to $16,434,000 for year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $16,843,000 for the prior year. This decrease reflects cost management activities and lower share based compensation expense for the year which were offset in part by incremental legal expenses and settlements, professional service expenses for various board projects and initiatives and accrued severance related to the downsizing of our workforce. Legal expenses and settlements were approximately $2,200,000 and professional services and accrued severance were approximately $476,000 and $1,132,000, respectively. The prior year period includes incremental legal expenses of approximately $2,400,000.

31

Product development expenses were $2,823,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $2,594,000 for the prior year. Product development spending fluctuates period to period based on the amounts capitalized. Total spending for the year was $3,627,000 compared to $4,124,000 for the prior year reflecting headcount reductions during the period offset in part by the use of contractors for certain projects.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $1,638,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $1,499,000 for the prior year period. This increase is due primarily to an increase in amortization expense for capitalized software development costs.

Interest and other income decreased to $1,261,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $1,954,000 for the prior year. This decrease is due primarily to higher interest rates during the current period, net of the effect of lower cash and investment balances as we continue to invest in our business.

Net loss from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2008 was $15,811,000, or $0.46 per share, compared to $15,063,000, or $0.44 per share, from continuing and discontinued operations for the prior year. The increase in net loss for the year reflects the increase in revenues and the cost management activities discussed above which were offset by the higher legal expenses and settlements and other incremental expenses discussed above.

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. 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.

32

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.

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.

Expenditures for equipment and other assets totaled approximately $550,000, software license expenditures totaled approximately $53,000 and capitalized software development expenditures totaled approximately $804,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008. We have developed and intend to continue to develop new applications to grow our business and address new markets.

Cash Flows

At June 30, 2008, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, net of gross unrealized holding loss, amounted to approximately $14,818,000 and total assets at that date were $31,551,000. These amounts have decreased since June 30, 2007 by $16,813,000 and $17,153,000, 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, 2008. Cash used for the period also includes expenditures of approximately $3,485,000 for incremental legal expenses and settlements, $532,000 for board projects and $1,094,000 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, 2008 was $14,903,000 compared to $14,852,000 for 2007. This increase is due primarily to the legal and severance expenditures discussed above which offset savings from expense and working capital management activities during fiscal 2008.

Net cash used by investing activities, excluding purchases and sales of marketable securities, was $1,398,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $2,303,000 for 2007. This decrease relates primarily to the amount of product development spending capitalized in 2008 and lower expenditures for software licenses in 2008.

Cash flows from financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were not significant.

To date we have been largely dependent on our ability to sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities to obtain financing to fund our operating deficits, product development activities and capital

33

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.

As discussed more fully in Note 1 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements our marketable securities consist of AAA rated auction rate securities in government insured student loan issues. These investments have become less liquid then they were in the past as a result of credit market conditions. At June 30, 2008, we had approximately $10.8 million at par value invested in such securities. Although recent legal and regulatory actions have caused some improvements in these markets, we have recorded a gross unrealized holding loss of approximately $500,000 on a portion of these investments as of June 30, 2008.

We expect to fund the merger transaction discussed in the Overview section with available cash, long-term seller financing, New Authentidate common stock and the stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary Authentidate International AG. The combined company’s primary future recurring cash needs will be working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. Although we will use substantially all of our available cash and marketable securities to complete the transaction, we believe that cash flows from combined company operations and available cash and borrowings of the combined company will be sufficient to meet the combined company’s recurring cash needs for at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that this will be the case. If the combined company’s cash flows from operations are less than expected, Authentidate may need to incur additional debt or raise additional capital.

If we do not complete the subject transaction, 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 (including the transactions post closing) may vary materially from those now planned. The amount of capital that we will need in the future will depend on many factors, including:

• our relationships with suppliers and customers;

• the market acceptance of our software and services;

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

• price discounts on our software and services to our customers;

• our pursuit of strategic transactions;

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

• the level of accounts receivable that we maintain;

• capital improvements to new and existing facilities;

• technological advances; and

• our competitors’ response to our offerings.

Financing Activities

We have not engaged in any external financing activities in fiscal 2008 and 2007.

Other Matters

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

34

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, 2008, no shares of the Series B preferred stock have been redeemed.

As previously reported, we were the 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. Shore Venture Group had withdrawn from the proceeding a number of claims, including a claim for damages in connection with an alleged copyright infringement and that it has rights under one or more of our patent applications. As described in detail under the caption. “Legal Proceedings” appearing in Item 3 of Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we received the decision of the arbitrators in this proceeding in December 2007 in which the arbitrators awarded the claimants damages in the amount $1,079,262 plus interest in the amount of $563,676. The arbitrators further awarded the claimants per diem interest of $303.00 from December 12, 2007 through the date the award was rendered. Following a post-hearing briefing, the arbitrators awarded the claimants attorneys’ fees of $241,038 on January 31, 2008. The full amount for this settlement was accrued as of December 31, 2007 and was paid in February 2008.

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

Severance Other and Commitments

On January 9, 2006, Authentidate entered into a Termination Agreement and a separate consulting agreement with John J. Waters, Authentidate’s Executive Vice President–Chief Administrative Officer and a member of Authentidate’s 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. Authentidate

35

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 Authentidate’s 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, Authentidate entered into a Termination Agreement with Dennis H. Bunt, Authentidate’s Chief Financial Officer, and he resigned his position effective April 30, 2006. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Authentidate 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 in fiscal 2006 and was paid in full by April 30, 2008.

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

Contractual Commitments

A summary of the contractual commitments associated with our lease obligations as of June 30, 2008 is as follows (in thousands):

	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		More than 5 years
Total operating leases	$	6,093	$	992	$	1,890	$	1,761	$	1,450

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

36

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, 2008, 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 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, except for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities as to which the date is November 15, 2008. 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 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.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No.141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combination”. Under FAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. FAS 141R also changed the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including: acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; non controlling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. FAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

37

noncontrolling interest. FAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Standards”. FAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Statement 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the PCAOB amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.

ITEM 7A.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have approximately $10,325,000 invested in high quality, short term investments as of June 30, 2008. Although these investments have become less liquid as a result of current market conditions, we do not believe that any of our financial instruments have significant risk associated with market sensitivity. We are not exposed to significant financial market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are only minimally impacted by changes in interest rates. However, in the future, we may enter into transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies or increase the level of our borrowings, which could increase our exposure to these market risks. We have not used, and currently do not contemplate using, any derivative financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

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

At June 30, 2008, our unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, net of gross unrealized holding loss, totaled approximately $14,818,000, of which $3,808,000 was invested in commercial paper and money market accounts and approximately $10,325,000 , net of gross unrealized holding loss,was invested in auction rate securities. The remainder of our cash was in non-interest bearing checking accounts used to pay operating expenses. For more information on our investments see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our President and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period

38

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

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

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, under the supervision of our President 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 President and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. 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, 2008.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

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.

39

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As previously reported, on November 26, 2007, we appointed O’Connell Benjamin as our President to replace our former Chief Executive. Inherent with changes in management is a change in understanding of the control environment, the business processes and internal controls. Management believes the integration of the new President has been successful.

Other then as described above, 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, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 President, 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:

• attract and retain talented and experienced executives necessary to achieve our strategic objectives in the highly competitive and dynamic industry in which we compete;

• motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

45

• align the interests of our executives and stockholders by motivating executives to increase stockholder value;

• to increase our company’s long-term profitability and, accordingly, increase stockholder value;

• provide a competitive compensation package in which a significant portion of total compensation is determined by company and individual results and the creation of stockholder value; and foster a shared commitment among executives by coordinating their company and individual goals.

In order to help attract, motivate and retain highly qualified managers and executives, we attempt to ensure that our compensation decisions are competitive with the market. We seek to attract and retain talent by offering competitive base salaries, annual incentive opportunities, and the potential for long-term rewards through equity-based awards, such as stock options and restricted stock. We have, in the past, granted and may continue to grant equity-based awards to a large portion of our employees, not just our executives. Those awards have been primarily in the form of options to purchase common stock.

Further, our executive pay practices incorporate performance based mechanisms to link executive pay to overall company performance over both the long and short term to facilitate value creation for our shareholders. It is our practice to provide compensation opportunities in addition to base salary that are linked to our company’s performance and the individual’s performance. Achievement of short-term goals is rewarded through annual cash bonuses, while achievement of long-term objectives is encouraged through stock option grants that are subject to vesting generally over three years. Through annual and long-term incentives, a significant portion of the total potential compensation of our executive officers (and other members of senior management) is placed at risk in order to motivate them to improve the performance of our businesses and to increase the value of our company.

Our compensation program is designed to foster a long-term commitment by management. The Management Resources and Compensation Committee believes that there is great value to our company in having a team of long-tenured, seasoned executives and managers. Our compensation practices are designed to foster a long-term commitment to Authentidate by our management team. Thus, the vesting schedules attributable to equity grants are typically 3 years.

In determining the forms of compensation to be used, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee considers various factors, including the effectiveness of the incentives provided, tax and accounting considerations, the compensation practices of other companies and the expectations of our employees and our investors.

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 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.

The Management Resources and Compensation Committee did not retain outside consultants during the 2008 fiscal year to assist it in implementing these policies or making specific decisions relating to executive compensation. However, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee does, from time to time, review general information regarding the compensation practices of other companies, including some that may compete with Authentidate for the services of its executives and employees and that information is a factor used

46

by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee in its decisions and in its general oversight of compensation practices. However, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee does not use that information to generate specific compensation amounts or targets. Instead, in each compensation decision, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee exercises its business judgment regarding the appropriateness of types and amounts of compensation in light of the value to the company of specific individuals.

With respect to 2008 compensation, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee took into account recommendations made by the Chairman of the Board and President of Authentidate with respect to determinations of the types and amounts of compensation to be paid to the other executive officers and also discussed with the Chairman of the Board and the President the types and amounts such individuals believed would be appropriate to pay each of them in light of the amounts being recommended for the other executives. Authentidate’s senior management generally applies a similar philosophy and similar policies to determine the compensation of officers and managers who are not executive officers and reports to the Management Resources and Compensation Committee regarding these matters.

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 during fiscal 2008 based on a number of factors including:

• our understanding of the amount of compensation generally paid by similarly situated companies to their executives with similar roles and responsibilities;

• our executives’ performance during the fiscal year in general and as measured against predetermined company and individual performance goals;

• the roles and responsibilities of our executives;

• the individual experience and skills of, and expected contributions from, our executives;

• the amounts of compensation being paid to our other executives;

• our executives’ historical compensation and performance at our company; and

• any contractual commitments we have made to our executives regarding compensation.

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.

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,

47

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 President, were also based in part upon evaluations and recommendations made by our former Chief Executive Officer.

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. Benjamin, Marshall and Wendenburg, the terms of which are summarized below.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the base salary of Mr. Benjamin averaged $260,000, reflecting a mid-year increase of $60,000 relating to his promotion to President. During fiscal 2008, the base salary of Mr. Marshall was $260,000, reflecting no change from the rate we compensated him during fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2008, the base salary of Mr. Wendenburg was 210,000 Euros, reflecting no change from the rate we compensated him during fiscal 2007. In addition, effective November 26, 2007, Surendra Pai ceased serving as our President and Chief Executive Officer. During the portion of our 2008 fiscal year that we employed Mr. Pai, he received base salary of $187,500 in accordance with his employment agreement. As discussed in greater detail below under the caption “Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers—Surendra Pai”, in connection with the cessation of our employment relationship with Mr. Pai, we provided certain benefits and payments to him, including a severance payment of $610,653.

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

48

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 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. Benjamin, 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. Our Management Resources and Compensation Committee has neither determined nor awarded bonus amounts for our 2008 fiscal year to our Named Executive Officers. Messrs. Benjamin, Marshall and Wendenburg received no bonus for their performance for fiscal 2007. For our 2007 fiscal year we paid, Messrs. Benjamin, Marshall, Wendenburg and Pai (our former Chief Executive Officer) bonus amounts of $24,000, $48,438, $53,050 and $70,000, respectively, which amounts were either earned under their employment agreements or for their performance for fiscal 2006. 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.

49

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 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.

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 arrangements we entered into with Messrs. Benjamin and Marshall when they joined our company, we granted Mr. Benjamin options to purchase 135,000 shares of common stock and Mr. Marshall options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock. We also granted Mr. Benjamin options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock in connection with his promotion to President in November 2007. The options initially granted to Mr. Benjamin are exercisable at $6.28 per share and the options granted to him in connection with his promotion are exercisable at $1.25 per share. The options granted to Mr. Marshall are exercisable at $4.50 per share. One third of the options granted to Messrs. Benjamin and Marshall vest 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 President’s recommendations; (vii) the current stock price; and (viii) individual contribution to the success of our financial performance. However, the 2000 Plan does

50

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 President are approved by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee based upon recommendations made by the President based upon the individual executive’s performance and market data relating to option grants to individuals occupying similar positions at comparably situated companies.

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. 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 named 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. We do not anticipate that the non-performance-based compensation to be paid in cash to our executive officers in 2008 will exceed that limit.

Surendra B. Pai

On January 15, 2007, we had entered into a new one year employment agreement with Mr. Surendra Pai, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, which was effective as of January 1, 2007. Effective November 26, 2007, Mr. Pai ceased serving as our President and Chief Executive Officer.

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.

55

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, 2008, there were outstanding an aggregate of approximately 3,807,000 options under the 2000 Plan, with exercise prices ranging from $0.41 to $7.28.

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

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

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

• the number of shares subject to each option.

The Board or Committee shall have full authority to interpret the 2000 Plan and 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.

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:

• Modifies the terms of the option awards previously and to be granted to non-executive directors to provide that all awards expire ten years from the date of grant.

• Modifies the terms of the option awards previously and to be granted to non-executive directors to provide that in the event of a non-executive director’s termination of service as a director, other than for

56

cause or in the case of death or disability, the options held by such director shall terminate two years from the date of termination of service, but in no event later than the stated expiration date of an option award.

• Provide that non-executive directors shall have the option to elect to receive up to 50% of their cash director compensation, including amounts payable for committee service, service as a committee chair and per meeting fees, in restricted shares of the company’s common stock. The number of shares of restricted stock that would be issued to a director would be computed by dividing the cash amount to be converted into shares of restricted stock by the fair market value of the company’s common stock as of the date the fees are earned. The closing price of the company’s common stock on the last trading day of each fiscal quarter will be used to determine the fair market value of the common stock which may be issued in lieu of the fees paid for service as a director during such period.

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, 2008, there were 410,000 options outstanding under the 2001 Director Plan. The options outstanding have exercise prices ranging from $1.32 to $10.58. On September 1, 2008, we granted an aggregate of 60,000 options to our non-employee directors pursuant to the 2001 Director Plan. These options have an exercise price of $0.58.

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.

(1) Each stock option grant reported in the table above was granted under, and is subject to, our 2000 Plan. The option expiration date shown above is the normal expiration date, and the last date that the options may be exercised. For each Named Executive Officer, the unexercisable options shown above are also unvested. Unvested shares are generally forfeited if the Named Executive Officer’s employment terminates, except to the extent otherwise provided in an employment agreement. For information regarding the effect on vesting of options on the death, disability or termination of employment of a Named Executive Officer or a change in control of our company, see “Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. If a Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated by us for cause, options (including the vested portion) are generally forfeited. The exercisable options shown above, and any unexercisable options shown above that subsequently become exercisable, will generally expire earlier than the normal expiration date if the Named Executive Officer’s employment terminates, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Named Executive Officer’s employment agreement. For a description of the material terms of the Named Executive Officer’s employment agreements, see “Employment Agreements With Named Executive Officers” above.

(2) Effective January 17, 2007, we amended all of the outstanding options held by our employees solely to modify the expiration date to be ten years from the original grant date.

(3) Vesting schedule is one third of the grant on the one year anniversary of the date of the grant and monthly thereafter over the remaining twenty four months.

(4) Surendra B. Pai, our former Chief Executive Officer, has vested options to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share through December 31, 2009 and options to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.58 per share through November 15, 2014.

Options Exercised and Stock Vested

None of our Named Executive Officers exercised any stock options during the 2008 fiscal year.

Pension Benefits

None of our Named Executive Officers or former executive officers are covered by a pension plan or other similar benefit plan that provides for payments or other benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

None of our Named Executive Officers or former executive officers are covered by a defined contribution or other plan that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified.

Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control

The discussion and tables below reflect the estimated benefits that would be paid or accrue to each of the Named Executive Officers other than our former Chief Executive Officer in the event of the following hypothetical scenarios:

• termination without cause, or constructive (“good reason”) termination (including upon the occurrence of a change in control of a company);

• termination for cause;

• upon an executive’s disability; or

• in the event of the executive’s death.

O’Connell Benjamin

Death or Disability. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, if Mr. Benjamin’s employment is terminated as a result of his death, Mr. Benjamin or his estate, as applicable, would receive any accrued but unpaid, base salary, bonus and expense reimbursement amounts through the date of his death. If Mr. Benjamin’s employment is terminated as a result of disability, Mr. Benjamin or his estate, as applicable, would receive (a) any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus and expense reimbursement amounts through the date on which the disability occurs; (b) a severance payment 12 months of his base salary in effect on the termination date and (c) continued participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for the longer of the natural expiration of the agreement or the end of the month of the one-year anniversary of the termination of his employment. Further, in the event of a termination due to his death or disability, Mr. Benjamin’s (or his estate’s or legal representative’s) right to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to any stock option or stock option plan to the extent vested as of the termination date shall remain exercisable for a period of twelve months following such date, but in no event after the expiration of the exercise period.

Cause. If Mr. Benjamin’s employment is terminated for cause or he terminates his employment without good reason, he would be entitled to his base salary and expense reimbursement through the date of termination, and he shall have no further entitlement to any other compensation or benefits. All stock options that have not been exercised as of the date of termination for cause shall be deemed to have expired as of such date, otherwise, options vested as of the date of termination may be exercised for a period of three months thereafter.

Without Cause or for Good Reason. If Mr. Benjamin’s employment is terminated without cause, by Mr. Benjamin for good reason, or either (1) we fail to timely notify him or our intent to renew his agreement or (2) after providing such notice, we fail to reach an agreement on a new employment agreement with him prior to the expiration date, then we would be obligated to: (a) pay any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus and expense reimbursement amounts through the date of termination; (b) pay a severance payment equal to 12 months of his base salary in effect on the termination date and (c) provide for his continued participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for the longer of the natural expiration of the agreement or the end of the month of the one-year anniversary of the termination of his employment. Further, in the event of such a termination event, the options granted to Mr. Benjamin under his employment agreement will be deemed vested and shall be exercisable for a period of two years from the termination date.

Change of Control. In the event of a change of control, Mr. Benjamin shall have the right to terminate his employment with us for any reason within a period of 120 days of such change of control and such termination shall be deemed for good reason. In such an event, we would be required to pay Mr. Benjamin the amounts described in the immediately preceding paragraph. Further the 100,000 options granted to Mr. Benjamin in connection with his promotion to President would be deemed vested and exercisable as discussed above.

Employee Covenants. In his employment agreement, Mr. Benjamin agreed to keep confidential and not disclose any confidential or proprietary information owned by, or received by or on behalf of, us or any of our affiliates, during the term of the agreement or at any time thereafter.

Mr. Benjamin also agreed, during the term of the agreement and for a period of one year thereafter, to not in any manner enter into or engage in any business that is engaged in any business directly competitive with our business anywhere in the world, with limited exceptions. Moreover, Mr. Benjamin agreed, during the term of the agreement and for a period of 12 months thereafter, to not, directly or indirectly, without our prior written consent: (i) solicit or induce any employee of us or any of our affiliates to leave such employ; or (ii) solicit the business of any customer with respect to products or services that compete directly with the products or services provided or supplied by us.

William A. Marshall

Death or Disability. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, if Mr. Marshall’s employment is terminated as a result of his death, Mr. Marshall or his estate, as applicable, would receive any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus and expense reimbursement amounts through the date of his death. If Mr. Marshall’s employment is terminated as a result of disability, Mr. Marshall or his estate, as applicable, would receive (a) any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus and expense reimbursement amounts through the date on which the disability occurs; (b) a severance payment equal to 12 months of his base salary in effect on the termination date and (c) continued participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for the longer of the natural expiration of the agreement or the end of the month of the one-year anniversary of the termination of his employment. Further, in the event of a termination due to his death or disability, Mr. Marshall’s (or his estate’s or legal representative’s) right to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to any stock option or stock option plan to the extent vested as of the termination date shall remain exercisable for a period of twelve months following such date, but in no event after the expiration of the exercise period.

Cause. If Mr. Marshall’s employment is terminated for cause or he terminates his employment without good reason, he would be entitled to his base salary, other accrued compensation and expense reimbursement through the date of termination, and he shall have no further entitlement to any other compensation or benefits. All stock options that have not been exercised as of the date of termination for cause shall be deemed to have expired as of such date otherwise, options vested as of the date of termination may be exercised for a period of three months thereafter.

Without Cause or for Good Reason. If Mr. Marshall’s employment is terminated without cause, or by Mr. Marshall for good reason, we would be obligated to: (a) pay any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus and expense reimbursement amounts through the date of termination; (b) we would be obligated to pay a severance payment of 12 months of his base salary in effect on the termination date; and (c) provide for his continued participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for the longer of the natural expiration of the agreement or the end of the month of the one-year anniversary of the termination of his employment. Further, in the event of such a termination event, his right to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to any stock option shall immediately fully vest and become exercisable, and the exercise period in which he may exercise his options shall be extended to the duration of their original term.

Change of Control. The benefits Mr. Marshall would receive upon termination without cause or for good reason shall not be adversely affected in the event of a change of control.

Employee Covenants. In his employment agreement, Mr. Marshall agreed to keep confidential and not disclose any confidential or proprietary information owned by, or received by or on behalf of, us or any of our affiliates, during the term of the agreement or at any time thereafter. He also agreed to return such confidential and proprietary information to us immediately in the event of any termination of employment.

60

induce any employee of us or any of our affiliates to leave such employ; or (ii) solicit the business of any customer with respect to products or services that compete directly with the products or services provided or supplied by us.

Jan C. Wendenburg

Death or Disability. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, if Mr. Wendenburg’s employment is terminated as a result of his death, Mr. Wendenburg or his estate, as applicable, would receive any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus and expense reimbursement amounts through the date of his death. If Mr. Wendenburg’s employment is terminated as a result of disability, Mr. Wendenburg or his estate, as applicable, would receive (a) any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus and expense reimbursement amounts through the date on which the disability occurs; and (b) a payment equal to 50% of his base salary in effect on the termination date and (c) the proceeds of any company-paid disability insurance policy, if any. Further, in the event of a termination due to his death or disability, Mr. Wendenburg’s (or his estate’s or legal representative’s) right to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to any stock option or stock option plan to the extent vested as of the termination date shall remain exercisable for a period of twelve months following such date, but in no event after the expiration of the exercise period.

Cause. If Mr. Wendenburg’s employment is terminated for cause or he terminates his employment without good reason, he would be entitled to his base salary and expense reimbursement through the date of termination, and he shall have no further entitlement to any other compensation or benefits. All stock options that have not been exercised as of the date of termination shall be deemed to have expired as of such date.

Without Cause or for Non-Renewal. If Mr. Wendenburg’s employment is terminated without cause or if we determine not to renew the agreement, Mr. Wendenburg would receive (i) all compensation accrued but not paid as of the termination date and (ii) a severance payment of amount equal to his base salary in effect at the time of termination for a period of one year from the date of termination, payable in twelve equal monthly installments, unless Mr. Wendenburg elects to receive a lump-sum payment.

Employee Covenants. In his employment agreement, Mr. Wendenburg agreed to keep confidential and not disclose any confidential or proprietary information owned by, or received by or on behalf of, us or any of our affiliates, during the term of the agreement or at any time thereafter.

For the duration of the one year post-contractual restriction of competition, Mr. Wendenburg shall be entitled to compensation amounting to 50 % of his base salary in effect at the time of termination; provided, however, such non-competition compensation shall be credited towards the severance payment payable to Mr. Wendenburg following termination of his employment. In accordance with the requirements of German law, in the event of the “extraordinary termination” of the service relationship for “important reasons”, the party terminating the relationship shall have the right to terminate the post-contractual non-competition covenant, in which event we will have no further obligation to pay the non-competition compensation.

2000 Stock Option Plan

Corporate Transactions. Notwithstanding any contrary waiting period in any stock option agreement issued pursuant to the 2000 Plan, but subject to any determination by our board of directors to provide otherwise, each outstanding option shall, except as otherwise provided in the stock option agreement, become exercisable in full for the aggregate number of shares covered thereby and shall vest unconditionally on the first day following the occurrence of any of the following: (a) the approval by our stockholders of an approved transaction; (b) a control purchase; or (c) a board change, as each such term is defined in the 2000 Plan.

61

Termination of Employment. If a grantee’s employment or service is terminated for cause, any unexercised option shall terminate effective immediately upon such termination of employment or service. Except as otherwise provided by in an award agreement, if a grantee’s employment or service terminates on account of death or disability, then any unexercised option, to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination of employment or service, may be exercised, in whole or in part, within the first twelve (12) months after such termination of employment or service (but only during the option term) by his or her personal representative or by the person to whom the option is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the award agreement, if a grantee’s employment or service terminates for any reason other than for cause, death, disability or pursuant to a change of control, then any unexercised option, to the extent exercisable immediately before the grantee’s termination of employment or service, may be exercised in whole or in part, not later than three (3) months after such termination of employment or service (but only during the option term); and, to the extent that any such option was not exercisable on the date of such termination of employment or service, it will immediately terminate.

Termination Scenario Summary Tables

Our non-executive directors also receive options to purchase 10,000 shares for each year of service under the 2001 Director Plan and are reimbursed for expenses incurred in order to attend meetings of the Board of Directors.

On January 17, 2007, our stockholders approved the following material changes to the 2001 Director Plan:

• Modify the terms of the option awards previously and to be granted to non-executive directors to provide that all awards expire ten years from the date of grant.

• Modify the terms of the option awards previously and to be granted to non-executive directors to provide that in the event of a non-executive director’s termination of service as a director, other than for cause or in the case of death or disability, the options held by such director shall terminate two years from the date of termination of service, but in no event later than the stated expiration date of an option award.

• Provide that non-executive directors shall have the option to elect to receive up to 50% of their cash director compensation, including amounts payable for committee service, service as a committee chair and per meeting fees, in restricted shares of our common stock.

The 2001 Director Plan does not provide for a cap on the aggregate number of options which may be granted thereunder. All option grants under the 2001 Director Plan are non-discretionary; each non-employee director receives an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock each September 1, pro rata, based on the length of such directors service during the preceding year. Accordingly, if the number and identity of our non-employee directors remains constant over the remaining life of the 2001 Director Plan, we would issue a total of 180,000 options to our non-employee directors and advisor under the 2001 Director Plan, which number includes a total of 60,000 options granted on September 1, 2008 pursuant to the 2001 Director Plan.

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

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

For information concerning employment agreements with, and compensation of, our executive officers and directors, see the disclosure in the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K captioned “Executive Compensation.”

On January 9, 2006, we entered into a termination agreement and a separate consulting agreement with John J. Waters, who was then serving as 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. Prior to that time, Mr. Waters’ compensation was set forth in an employment agreement which included the following terms: (a) base salary of $275,000, (b) annual discretionary bonus potential of up to 50% of base salary, (c) grant of options to purchase 300,000 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $5.85, subject to vesting requirements as follows: 75,000 options vested on the date of grant, 18,750 vested on the one-month anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder shall vest in equal amounts of 9,375 on a monthly basis, (d) payment equal to the greater of his base salary to the termination date or a severance payment equal to six months of his base salary in effect as of the termination date, in the event of the termination of Mr. Waters’ employment by us without “cause” or by Mr. Waters for “good reason,” as those terms are defined in his employment agreement.

On January 26, 2006, Dennis H. Bunt, our former Chief Financial Officer, entered into a termination agreement and 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.

On November 26, 2007, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. O’Connell Benjamin to the office of President, effective immediately. Mr. Benjamin’s appointment filled one of the positions formerly held by Mr. Suren Pai, who ceased serving as our President and Chief Executive Officer as of such date. Pursuant to the employment agreement we had with Mr. Pai, in connection with the cessation of his employment with Authentidate, Mr. Pai was entitled to: (a) all compensation accrued but not paid as of the termination date; (b) a

68

severance payment equal to the sum of (i) 12 months of the greater of (A) his base salary in effect on the termination date and (B) the highest base salary in effect at any time during the ninety (90) day period to the date of termination; and (ii) an additional severance payment of $187,500; and (c) continued participation in Authentidate’s benefit plans through the end of the month of the one-year anniversary of the termination of his employment. In addition, pursuant to his employment agreement, the options Authentidate granted Mr. Pai under such employment agreement which vested as of the date of termination, plus 200,000 options, are deemed vested and exercisable for two years from the date of termination.

Approval for Related Party Transactions

Although we have not adopted a formal policy relating to the approval of proposed transactions that we may enter into with any of our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, including their immediate family members and affiliates, our Audit Committee, all of the members of which are independent, reviews the terms of any and all such proposed material related party transactions. The results of this review are then communicated to the entire Board of Directors, which has the ultimate authority as to whether or not we enter into such transactions. We will not enter into any material related party transaction without the prior consent of our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors. In approving or rejecting the proposed related party transaction, our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors shall consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to them, including, but not limited to the risks, costs and benefits to us, the terms of the transaction, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and, if applicable, the impact on a director’s independence. We shall approve only those agreements that, in light of known circumstances, are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests, as our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors determine in the good faith exercise of their discretion.

Independence of our Board of Directors and its Committees

The listing rules established by the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC require that a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors qualify as “independent” as affirmatively determined by the board, meaning that each independent director has no direct or indirect material relationship with a company other than as a director and/or a stockholder. Our Board of Directors consults with legal counsel to ensure that our Board’s determination with respect to the definition of “independent” is consistent with current Nasdaq listing rules.

Our Board of Directors reviewed all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his family members, and our company and has affirmatively determined that each of our directors, other than John J. Waters, our former Chief Administrative Officer, are independent directors under the applicable guidelines noted above. Our Board of Directors has five committees: the Audit Committee, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Executive Committee and the Special Committee. All of the members of our Audit Committee meet the standards for independence required under current Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules, SEC rules, and applicable securities laws and regulations except for Mr. Waters. All of the members of our Management Resources and Compensation Committee and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee satisfy the applicable independence standards.

ITEM 14.    PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The Board of Directors of Authentidate has selected Eisner LLP, as its independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. As previously reported, we initially engaged Eisner LLP on April 28, 2005 following our dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on April 13, 2005. During the 2008 fiscal year, the audit services provided by Eisner LLP consisted of examination of financial statements, services related to filings with the SEC, and consultation in regard to various accounting matters. The following table presents the total fees billed for professional audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and fees billed for other services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm during those periods.

	Year Ended June 30,
	2008		2007
Audit Fees (1)	$	329,000	$	354,000
Tax Fees (2)		—		48,000
Total	$	329,000	$	402,000

(1) Audit services consist of audit work performed on financial statements, audit work performed on internal control over financial reporting, reviews of Annual Reports on Form 10-K, reviews of financial statements and related Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during the fiscal year, as well as work that generally only the independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including consents for registration statement filings and responding to SEC comment letters on annual and quarterly filings. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, all reported amounts were for services provided by Eisner LLP.

(2) Tax services consist of all services performed by independent tax personnel, except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 all services were provided by SmarTax LLC. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 such services were provided by Eisner LLP.

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

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

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

70

Pursuant to Section 10A (i) (2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we are responsible for listing the non-audit services approved by our Audit Committee to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Audit Committee did not pre-approve the performance of any non-audit services by Eisner LLP.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Authentidate Holding Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Authentidate Holding Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. Our June 30, 2008 audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Authentidate Holding Corp. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2008 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Authentidate Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financials Statements

June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Authentidate Holding Corp. (Authentidate or the company) is a worldwide provider of secure workflow management software and web-based services. Authentidate and its subsidiaries provide software applications and web-based services that address a variety of business needs for our customers, including increasing revenues, reducing costs, raising service levels, improving productivity, providing automated audit trails, enhancing compliance with regulatory requirements and reducing paper based processes. Our scalable offerings are primarily targeted at enterprises and office professionals and incorporate security technologies such as rules based electronic forms, intelligent routing and transaction management, electronic signing, content authentication, identity credentialing and verification and web and fax-based communication capabilities to electronically facilitate secure and trusted workflows. Authentidate currently operates its business in the United States and Germany with technology and service offerings that address emerging growth opportunities based on the regulatory and legal requirements specific to each market.

As discussed more fully in Note 4, in June 2007, Authentidate 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 was newly formed as a New York limited liability company by members of the acquired businesses’ senior management team. Accordingly, 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.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At June 2008 and 2007 cash equivalents consisted primarily of investments in high quality short term investments such as commercial paper and overnight interest bearing deposits.

Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities are generally comprised of auction rate securities rated AAA or AA by one or more national rating agencies. The auction rate securities have contractual maturities of up to 30 years, but generally have interest rate reset dates that occur every 7, 28 or 35 days and despite the long-term nature of their stated contractual maturities, we have had the ability to liquidate these securities at ongoing auctions every 35 days or less. We classify our investments in auction rate securities as “available for sale.” These investments have been recorded at cost which approximates fair market value due to their variable interest rates, which typically reset every 7, 28 or 35 days and, as a result, we have had no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains (losses) or gross realized gains (losses) from such investments through March 31, 2008. All income generated from these investments is recorded as interest income. Because we did not expect to hold any auction rate security longer than one year, such securities have been classified as current assets at June 30, 2007.

As a result of credit market conditions the market for auction rate securities is currently less liquid than it has been in the past. Since February 2008, auctions for most types of auction rate securities have been failing and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006

interest rates have reset at contractual rates which are generally higher than market rates. During April and May of 2008 we redeemed several of our investments at par, but have not sold any additional investments since that time. Recent legal and regulatory investigations of auction rate security dealers have resulted in a number of settlements whereby such dealers will redeem auction rate securities from certain customers at par over the next twelve months. Approximately $5.6 million of our auction rate securities are covered by these settlements and other investments of $800,000 have been redeemed at par since our fiscal year end. Therefore, we have continued to value these investments at cost which approximates fair market value and have classified these investments as current assets at June 30, 2008.

Our remaining investments at June 30, 2008 of approximately $4.4 million at par value,, are AAA rated auction rate securities consisting of investments in government insured student loan issues. While the credit quality of these investments is sound, current illiquid market conditions may impact our ability to dispose of these investments over the next twelve months and could impact the value of such investments. Although we believe the market for these investments will recover during this period, we have classified such investments as long-term assets at June 30, 2008. In addition, based on our year-end impairment testing for investments we have recorded a cumulative gross unrealized holding loss related to these investments of approximately $500,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2008.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent customer obligations due under normal trade terms, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence.

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.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are determined using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the assets range from three to seven years.

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

Software Development Costs

Software development and modification costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized based on anticipated revenue for the related product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining economic life of the related product (generally three years). Amortization expense of $742,000, $616,000 and $295,000 for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, 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 an annual goodwill impairment test at the end of each fiscal year using a discounted cash flow approach.

Income Taxes

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

Revenue Recognition

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

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

Warranty Provisions

We provide a limited warranty on the software and services sold. Warranty expense was not significant in any of the periods presented.

Advertising Expenses

We recognize advertising expenses as incurred. Advertising expense was $182,000, $292,000 and $400,000 for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Product Development Expenses

These costs represent research and development expenses and include salary and benefits, professional and consultant fees and supplies.

Currency Translation Adjustment

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are recorded as “Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)” and accumulated in shareholders’ equity in the caption “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss”.

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.

Share-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.

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.

Investment in Affiliate

In fiscal 2005 we invested $750,000 in an unaffiliated third party, Health Fusion, Inc. in connection with a strategic relationship established with this company. We own less than 4% of the outstanding stock of Health Fusion and account for this investment using the cost method.

Investment in Joint Venture

In June 2008 we formed a joint venture with EncounterCare Solutions, Inc., a provider of technology and services for the home healthcare marketplace. The joint venture called ExpressMD™ Solutions will provide in-home patient vital signs monitoring systems and services to improve care for patients with chronic illnesses and reduce the cost of care by delivering results to their health care providers via the Internet. ExpressMD Solutions combines EncounterCare’s Electronic House Call™ patient vital signs monitoring appliances with a specially designed web-based management and monitoring software module based on our Inscrybe™ Healthcare platform which enables unattended measurements of patients’ vital signs and related health information. Patients’ data is securely sent electronically to each patient’s health care provider for review. ExpressMD Solutions is designed to aid wellness and preventative care, and deliver better care to specific patients segments such as the elderly, special needs or pediatric patients with chronic illnesses who require regular monitoring of serious medical conditions. Using ExpressMD Solution’s offerings, health care providers will be able to easily view each specific patient’s vital statistics and make adjustments to the patient’s care plans via the Internet. ExpressMD Solution’s easy to use patient monitoring system is intended to provide patients with increased peace of mind and improved condition outcomes through a combination of care plan schedule reminders and comprehensive disease management education on their in-home communication unit. The service will provide intelligent routing to alert on-duty caregivers whenever a patient’s vital signs are outside of the practitioner’s pre-set ranges. Health care providers and health insurers also are expected to benefit by having additional tools to improve patient care, and reduce overall in-person and emergency room patient visits.

We have a 50% interest in the ExpressMD Solutions joint venture and account for this investment using the equity method. For the year ended June 30, 2008 we recorded all of our advances to the joint venture amounting to approximately $143,000 as other expense. The assets, liabilities and operations of the joint venture were not material as of and for the year ended June 30, 2008 and accordingly, are not presented herein.

Present Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

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, except for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities as to which the date is November 15, 2008. 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

F-11

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.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No.141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combination.” Under FAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. FAS 141R also changed the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including: acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; non controlling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. FAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

In May 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Standards”. FAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Statement 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the PCAOB amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.

2. Share-Based Compensation

Effective July 1, 2005, the company adopted FAS 123R which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the income statement as a compensation expense, based on their fair values. Under the provisions of FAS 123R, the estimated fair value of options granted under the company’s

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006

Employee Stock Option Plan and Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan are recognized as compensation expense over the option-vesting period. The company adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method, in which compensation expense is recognized beginning with the effective date of adoption of FAS 123R for all share-based payments (i) granted after the effective date of adoption and (ii) granted prior to the effective date of adoption that were unvested on the date of adoption.

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

2000 Employees Stock Option Plan

In March 2001, the shareholders approved the 2000 Employees Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) which, as amended in February 2004, provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the company’s common stock. The 2000 Plan expires in 2010 and replaced the 1992 Employees Stock Option Plan. Under the terms of the 2000 Plan, options granted thereunder may be designated as incentive stock options or non-qualified options.

The 2000 Plan is administered by a Compensation Committee (“Committee”) designated by the Board of Directors (“Board”). The Compensation Committee is comprised entirely of outside directors. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, has the discretion to determine eligible employees and the times and the prices at which options will be granted, whether such options shall be ISOs or non-qualified options, the period during which each option will be exercisable and the number of shares subject to each option. Vesting generally occurs one-third per year over three years and options generally have a life of ten years. The Board or the Committee has 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 may not be less than the fair market value of the company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. However, in the event an option designated as an ISO is granted to a ten percent shareholder, the exercise price shall be at least 110% of such fair market value. The aggregate fair market value on the grant date of shares subject to options which are designated as ISOs which become exercisable in any calendar year, shall not exceed $100,000 per optionee.

The Board or the Committee may in its sole discretion grant bonuses or authorize loans to or guarantee loans obtained by an optionee to enable such optionee to pay any taxes that may arise in connection with the exercise or cancellation of an option. As of June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, no loans had been granted or guaranteed. Loans may not be granted or guaranteed for executive officers.

2001 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan

In January 2002, our shareholders approved the 2001 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan to replace the 1992 Non-Executive Director Stock Plan and approved an amendment to the Plan in February 2004 (the “2001 Director Plan”). Under the 2001 Director Plan, options may be granted until December 2011 to (i) non-executive directors as defined and (ii) members of any advisory board established by the company who are not full-time employees of the company or any of its subsidiaries. The 2001 Director Plan, as amended, provides that each non-executive director will automatically be granted an option to purchase 40,000 shares upon joining the Board of Directors and 10,000 shares on each September 1st thereafter, prorated based upon the amount of time such person served as a director during the period beginning twelve months prior to September 1st . Additionally, non-executive directors, upon joining the Board and for a period of one year thereafter, will be entitled to purchase restricted stock from the company at a price equal to 80% of the closing price on the date of purchase up to an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. Each eligible director of an advisory board will receive, upon joining the advisory board, and on each September 1st thereafter, an option to purchase 5,000 shares of the company’s common stock, provided such person has served as a director of the advisory board for the previous 12-month period.

On January 17, 2007, the shareholders approved several amendments to the 2001 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan whereby non-executive director stock options expire ten years from the original date of grant, non-executive directors will have up to two years to exercise their options after leaving the board and may elect to receive up to 50% of their cash director compensation in restricted common stock of the company issued at fair value in accordance with the terms of the Plan. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the company issued 106,533 shares of restricted common stock valued at approximately $86,800 to certain non-executive directors in connection with this program.

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 exercise price of options granted under the 2001 Director Plan must be paid at the time of exercise in cash. Options are non-qualified options, vest upon grant and generally have a life of ten years unless terminated sooner, as provided in the 2001 Director Plan. The 2001 Director Plan is administered by a committee of the board of directors composed of not fewer than three persons who are officers of the company (the “Committee”). The Committee has no discretion to determine which non-executive director or advisory board member will receive options or the number of shares subject to the option, the term of the option or the exercisability of the option. However, the Committee will make all determinations of the interpretation of the 2001Director Plan.

In fiscal 2009, the company granted 60,000 options under the 2001 Director Plan at an exercise price of $0.58 per share. In July 2008, the company also issued 77,897 shares of restricted common stock valued at approximately $32,000 to certain non-executive directors under the program discussed above.

Prior to the adoption of FAS No. 123R, the company presented cash flows resulting from the tax benefits of deductions from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. FAS No. 123R requires cash flows resulting from the tax benefits from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. The company did not realize any tax benefits from the exercise of stock options during the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

We 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. We based our estimate of the life of these options on historical averages over the past five years and estimates of expected future behavior. The expected volatility was based on our historical stock volatility and historical stock volatility of comparable companies in the industry. The assumptions used in our Black-Scholes calculations for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

	Risk Free Interest Rate	Dividend Yield	Volatility Factor	Weighted Average Option Life (Months)
Fiscal year 2008	4.5%	0%	74%	48
Fiscal year 2007	4.2%	0%	68% - 74%	42
Fiscal year 2006	3.3% - 4.2%	0%	70%	33

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because our 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.

As of June 30, 2008, there was approximately $564,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plans. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 26 months.

During the year ended June 30, 2006 the company issued 375,000 stock options to an independent consultant, exercisable at $3.25 per share. These options do not vest until the consultant realizes at least $1.0 million in sales of the company’s products; therefore no expense has been recorded as no sales have been realized to date. These options are not included in the disclosures above. These options expire at the later of seven years from the grant date or five years from the vesting date.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $0, $0 and $4,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $0.68, $0.71 and $0.79. The values were calculated using the Black-Scholes model.

The total fair value of shares vested was $657,000, $1,376,000 and $1,572,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Continuing operations, less preferred dividends	$	(0.46	)	$	(0.47	)	$	(0.51	)
Discontinued operations		—			0.03			(0.01	)
Basic and diluted loss per common share	$	(0.46	)	$	(0.44	)	$	(0.52	)

All common stock equivalents were excluded from the loss per share calculation for all periods presented because the impact is antidilutive. At June 30, 2008, options (4,217,000), warrants (400,000), performance based consultant options (375,000), and convertible preferred stock (28,000 preferred shares convertible into 500,000 common shares) were outstanding. At June 30, 2007, options (4,670,000), warrants (714,000), performance based consultant options (375,000) and convertible preferred stock (28,000 preferred shares convertible into 500,000 common shares were outstanding. At June 30, 2006, options (4,579,000), warrants (1,221,000), performance based consultant options (375,000) and convertible preferred stock (28,000 preferred shares convertible into 500,000 common shares) were outstanding.

Solutions Group, LLC (“Astria”). Astria was newly formed as a 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, the company received approximately $7,100,000 for the acquired businesses and related assets (including cash of $750,000). Astria paid the company $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 of the businesses and related assets, the company recorded a gain of approximately $1,264,000. The reported gain does not include any value for the Note. As discussed below, additional gain, if any, 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”.

In connection with the sale, Astria also entered into a seven-year lease for a portion of the building owned by the company in Schenectady, New York where the acquired businesses are located. Under the terms of the lease, Astria has elected to pay all taxes and operating costs for the land and building and rent and additional rent of approximately $186,000 per year for the term of lease. Based on the company’s intention to dispose of these assets in the next year, the carrying value of the land and building is classified as assets held for sale for all periods presented.

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

7. Income Taxes

At June 30, 2008, the company had federal net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $105,000,000. These losses expire in various years between fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2028. At June 30, 2008, the company had a foreign loss carry forward of approximately $8,600,000 which does not expire and can be carried forward indefinitely.

Pre-tax book (loss) from foreign sources totaled approximately $(1,350,000), $(805,000) and $(991,000) for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

There is no provision for income taxes for amounts related to discontinued operations because the company is reporting a loss from continuing operations and a net loss for all periods presented. Accordingly, any income or gain from discontinued operations would be fully offset by such losses.

The provision for income taxes for continuing operations differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 34% as follows (in thousands):

11. Commitments and Contingencies

As previously reported, Authentidate was named as 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. In this case, the claimants sought additional shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, Authentidate, Inc., and had withdrawn a number of other claims in the arbitration, including claims for damages in connection with an alleged copyright infringement and rights under one or more of our patent applications. An arbitration hearing in this matter concluded on September 10, 2007. On December 20, 2007, we received the decision of the arbitrators, which was rendered on December 19, 2007, awarding the claimants damages in the amount $1,079,262 plus interest in the amount of $563,676. The arbitrators further awarded the claimants per diem interest at the rate of $303 from December 12, 2007 through the date the award was rendered. Following a post-hearing briefing, the arbitrators awarded the claimants attorneys’ fees of $241,038 on January 31, 2008. The arbitration award extinguishes any interest of Shore Ventures in any shares of stock or stock options of Authentidate Holding Corp. or Authentidate, Inc. The full amount for this settlement was accrued as of December 31, 2007 and was paid in February 2008.

Between June and August 2005, six purported shareholder class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against our company and certain of its current and former directors and former officers. Plaintiffs in those actions alleged that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities law claims were based on the allegations that we failed to disclose that our August 2002 agreement with the USPS contained certain performance metrics, and that the USPS could cancel the agreement if we did not meet these metrics; that we did not disclose complete and accurate information as to its 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 its 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 current and former directors and former officers of the company in June and July 2005 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. These federal court derivative actions were based on substantially the same events and factual allegations as the original class action complaints and asserted claims that Authentidate was injured by an alleged breach of fiduciary duty, waste, mismanagement, violations of Sarbanes-Oxley, and misappropriation of inside information. The derivative complaints sought, among other things, damages, equitable relief, restitution, and payment of costs and expenses incurred in the litigation

(including legal fees). Plaintiffs in the derivative actions entered into a Court-approved stipulation providing for the consolidation of their actions and the selection of Maxine Philips as the lead plaintiff. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on November 14, 2005, which defendants moved to dismiss on January 13, 2006 on the ground that plaintiffs had not made a proper demand on the Board of Directors. On March 20, 2006, before the motion to dismiss was decided, plaintiffs in the federal court derivative action voluntarily dismissed their complaint without prejudice. On April 6, 2006, the court held a hearing to confirm, among other things, that plaintiffs had not received any payment or other consideration for the dismissal of their claims. At the hearing plaintiffs agreed to file a motion seeking court approval for the dismissal. Plaintiffs filed this motion on April 18, 2006 and the court entered an order dismissing the consolidated complaint on May 5, 2006. Subsequently, on May 25, 2006, the plaintiffs sent a letter to the Board of Directors demanding that it file a derivative suit on behalf of the company which asserts the same claims as the complaint which plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed only weeks earlier.

On December 13, 2005, a purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the Supreme Court of New York, Schenectady County, 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 former officers. The complaint asserts the same claims that are alleged in the first federal court derivative actions. The Board of Directors, following a recommendation from a committee of the Board composed of outside, non-employee directors who were advised by independent outside counsel, concluded that commencing litigation, as demanded by Elkin, is not in the company’s best interest.

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

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

We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. 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, 2008, we are not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.

12. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Cash Flows

We did not pay any income taxes or interest during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 or 2006. As of June 30, 2008 we recorded a cumulative gross unrealized holding loss of $500,000 related to certain marketable securities in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

13. Employee Benefit Plan

The company maintains a qualified defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan for all eligible employees and may make discretionary contributions in percentages of compensation, or amounts as determined by our Board of Directors. The company did not make any contributions to the plan for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

14. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The company performs an annual impairment analysis of goodwill at the end of the fiscal year. Any adverse development or change in its business during the year would require an interim assessment. For the year ended June 30, 2008 there were no adverse developments or changes that required such an assessment. Based on the results of our year end impairment testing, we determined the carrying amount of goodwill was not impaired. Goodwill of $7,291,000 relates to our business in Germany.

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

	June 30,

The company amortizes other intangible assets using the straight line method. Amortization expense was approximately $273,000, $125,000 and $285,000 for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense for the next five fiscal years and thereafter is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

15. Financial Instruments

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities, Accounts Receivable, Other Currents Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

This operation had assets of approximately $1,299,000 $2,153,000 and $1,712,000 at June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

17. Private Equity Offerings

In February 2004, the company completed a private sale of its common stock to certain accredited investors pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended and Regulation D, promulgated thereunder. The company sold a total of 5,360,370 common shares at a price of $13.75 per share and realized gross proceeds of $73.7 million. After payment of offering expenses and broker commissions the company realized $69.1 million in net proceeds. The shares of common stock issued are restricted securities and have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities law, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent a registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

During fiscal 2000, the company sold 50,000 shares of a newly created class of Series B convertible cumulative preferred stock (the “Series B preferred stock”). The Series B preferred stock was sold at $25.00 per share for an aggregate offering price of $1,250,000. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are payable at the rate of 10% per annum, semi-annually in cash. Each share of Series B preferred stock is convertible into shares of the company’s common stock or is converted into such number of shares of the common stock as shall equal $25.00 divided by the conversion price of $1.875 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Commencing three years after the closing, the conversion price shall be the lower of $1.875 per share or the average of the closing bid and asked price of the company’s common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days

immediately ending one trading day prior to the notice of the date of conversion; provided, however, that the holders are not entitled to convert more than 20% per month of the Series B preferred shares held by such holder on the third anniversary of the date of issuance. The Series B preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the company at any time commencing one year after issuance or not less than 30 nor more than 60 days after written notice at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends provided; (i) the public sale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B preferred stock (the “Conversion Shares”) are covered by an effective registration statement or are otherwise exempt from registration; and (ii) during the immediately preceding 20 consecutive trading days ending within 10 days of the date of the notice of redemption, the closing bid price of the company’s common stock is not less than $3.75 per share. The Series B voting rights are limited to any issue which would adversely affect their rights.

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

As of June 30, 2008, 22,000 Series B preferred shares have been converted leaving 28,000 shares outstanding. Commencing October 2004, the Series B preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the company without regard to the closing price of the company’s common stock. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, no Series B preferred stock was redeemed.

18. Related Party Transactions

Mr. Benjamin’s appointment filled one of the positions formerly held by Mr. Suren Pai, who ceased serving as Authentidate’s President and Chief Executive Officer as of such date. Pursuant to the employment agreement we had with Mr. Pai, in connection with the cessation of his employment with Authentidate, Mr. Pai was entitled to: (a) all compensation accrued but not paid as of the termination date; (b) a severance payment equal to the sum of (i) 12 months of the greater of (A) his base salary in effect on the termination date and (B) the highest base salary in effect at any time during the ninety (90) day period to the date of termination; and (ii) an additional severance payment of $187,500; and (c) continued participation in Authentidate’s benefit plans through the end of the month of the one-year anniversary of the termination of his employment. In addition, pursuant to his employment agreement, the options Authentidate granted Mr. Pai under such employment agreement which vested as of the date of termination, plus 200,000 options, are deemed vested and exercisable for two years from the date of termination. The full cost of this arrangement of approximately $750,000 was accrued during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and the cash portion of approximately $612,000 was paid in full by June 30, 2008.

21. Subsequent Event

In August 2008, Authentidate entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the membership interests of Parascript LLC and certain of its subsidiaries for up to $10 million in cash, 30 million shares of New Authentidate common stock, all of the shares of its German subsidiary Authentidate International AG, a 10%, five year junior unsecured note in the aggregate principal amount of $20 million, subject to adjustments, and contingent consideration based on the financial performance of a newly formed business unit to exploit certain markets for Parascript’s image analysis and pattern recognition technology. Principal and interest on the note are subject to certain restrictions on payment based on available cash flow. The contingent consideration is payable in New Authentidate common stock valued at $3.00 per share based on ten times the average EBITDA achieved by the new business unit for the fiscal years ending 2010 and 2011. The transaction is contingent upon certain events, including Authentidate shareholder approval, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will close as anticipated. Authentidate will account for this transaction using the purchase method of accounting. As a result, the assets and liabilities of Parascript LLC will be recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date that the transaction occurs. For further information regarding this transaction, see the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed on behalf of New Authentidate on August 13, 2008.
