General Fax: 201-996-9144 I.D. SYSTEMS, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS Hackensack, NJ, November 3, 2004 -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004. Revenues increased 89% to $3,289,000 compared to revenues of $1,743,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Net income for the quarter increased to $45,000, or $.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $336,000, or ($.05) per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. The increase in revenues and net income was primarily attributable to continued customer acceptance and demand of the company's patented Wireless Asset Net(TM) system for tracking and managing fleets of industrial equipment. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, revenues increased 78% to $9,758,000 compared to $5,477,000 for the same period in 2003. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased to $382,000, or $.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $932,000, or ($.14) per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. "We are very pleased to report another significant increase in revenues and net income this quarter," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' chairman and chief executive officer. "We continue working hard to expand penetration of our core wireless asset management technology into key markets, including material handling equipment management, vehicle security at port facilities, and consumer rental fleet management. We are well on the way to making 2004 the company's best year yet, and we look forward to continue building on that success in the future." "We continue to meet or exceed the objectives of our strategic business plan," added Ned Mavrommatis, I.D. Systems' chief financial officer. "In the third quarter of 2004, we again balanced rapid growth with cost containment, achieving a high double-digit year-over-year increase in revenues, a gross profit margin of 55%, and positive net income. The company's financial condition remains strong. As of September 30, 2004, I.D. Systems had approximately $8.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, and approximately $12.7 million of working capital, compared to approximately $8.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2003." Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 were $1,470,000, up from $1,087,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, as sales, marketing and customer service payroll expenses increased to support growing sales. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses decreased to 45% in the quarter, compared to 62% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Research and development (R&D) expenditures for the quarter were $372,000, up from $243,000 in the third quarter a year ago. As a percentage of revenues, R&D expenses decreased to 11% for the quarter compared to 14% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. [More....] 1 Highlights of the quarter ended September 30, 2004, included: o The announcement, on July 7, 2004, of a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) contract award, under which I.D. Systems will deploy a vehicle security system at JAXPORT, the Jacksonville, Florida, seaport. The contract, which resulted in part from the success of I.D. Systems' vehicle security program at Newark Liberty International Airport, is valued at $1.36 million, with a TSA option to increase the contract by an additional $1.35 million in 2005. o The final deployment and successful operational launch of I.D.

The system - which is designed to automate the rental and return processes, improve customer service, and increase operational efficiencies - is now routinely processing customer transactions for some 2,000 Avis vehicles in Puerto Rico and being well received by Avis customers and management personnel. o Continued work with the Ford Motor Company to expand Ford's North America-wide roll-out of I.D.
