INFODATA REPORTS PROFITABLE FOURTH QUARTER AND 2004

15% ANNUAL REVENUE GROWTH, ELEVENTH CONSECUTIVE PROFITABLE QUARTER

COMPANY ISSUES CAUTIONARY GUIDANCE FOR Q1 2005

Herndon, VA. – April 5, 2005– Infodata Systems Inc., (OTCBB:INFD) a leader in delivering open solutions for enterprise content management, today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004, was approximately $9,653,000, an increase of approximately $1,245,000, or 14.8%, over 2003 revenue of approximately $8,408,000. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2004, was approximately $1,102,000, or $0.19 per share diluted, compared to approximately $471,000, or $0.09 per share diluted, in 2003. The increase in net income for 2004 includes an income tax benefit of $747,000, which was the result of an increase in deferred tax assets recognized in the second quarter. Excluding this benefit, net income for 2004 would have been approximately $355,000.

Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, was approximately $2,510,000, an increase of approximately $307,000, or 13.9%, over revenue of approximately $2,203,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, and a decrease of approximately $56,000 when compared to the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2004. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $70,000, a decrease of approximately $85,000 when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2003, and a decrease of approximately $33,000 when compared to the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2004. During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, revenue and net income were affected by a $95,000 deferral of revenue in order to cover estimates to complete the American Red Cross (“ARC”) contract in 2005. Also, in the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company capitalized approximately $66,000, net of $2,000 of related amortization expense, associated with the general release of its new Annotation Suite 2.0 technology, which partially offset the ARC revenue deferral. The results for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 reflect the eleventh consecutive profitable quarter for the Company.

Gross profit for 2004 was approximately $4,101,000, up from approximately $3,987,000 for 2003. The gross margin for 2004 was 42.5%, compared to 47.4% for 2003. This year over year decrease in gross margin of approximately 4.9% was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from license fees, which was partially offset by an increase in services revenues, which generate proportionally lower margin.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,890,000 and net working capital of approximately $2,778,000. At December 31, 2003, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,422,000 and net working capital of approximately $1,919,000.

Segment Information

For the year ended December 31, 2004, total revenue for the Commercial segment was approximately $2,488,000, a decrease of approximately $291,000, or 10.5%, from total revenue of approximately $2,779,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of lower commercial license fees revenues. In the Government segment, total revenue was approximately $2,452,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of approximately $765,000, or 45.4%, over total revenues of approximately $1,687,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily the result of higher services revenue attributable to the American Red Cross (“ARC”) contract, which accounted for approximately $1,606,000, or 16.6% of the Company’s 2004 revenues, compared to approximately $70,000 in 2003, or 0.8% of the Company’s 2003 revenues. This increase in revenues of approximately $1,536,000 from the ARC contract was partially offset by a decrease in services revenue from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) contract of approximately $919,000, to approximately $308,000 in 2004. In 2003, the FDIC contract generated approximately $1,227,000, or 14.6%, of the Company’s 2003 revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2004, total revenues for the Intelligence segment were approximately $4,713,000, an increase of approximately $771,000, or 19.6%, over total revenues of approximately $3,942,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Edwin Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Infodata, said, “Although we believe 2004 was a solid year and are pleased to report revenue growth and profit, we continue to face significant constraints as a small public company. We expect to report a loss for the first quarter of 2005, due to the following events: at the end of the fourth quarter of 2004, the ARC project transitioned from development stage to deployment, which has resulted in a reduced level-of-effort for 2005; our pipeline of software opportunities slipped out of Q1, which has resulted in less software revenue; and, several key long-term maintenance customers did not renew annual customer support agreements, which has resulted in a reduction in maintenance revenue. We will further discuss our 2005 operating plans during the conference call and Webcast.”
