General Fax: 201-996-9144 I.D. Systems, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Financial Results Hackensack, NJ, November 2, 2005 -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY) today announced its financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Revenues for the quarter increased 75% to $5,742,000, up from $3,289,000 in the third quarter a year ago. Net income for the quarter rose 1,324% to $641,000, or $0.08 per basic share and $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $45,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. The improved performance was attributable primarily to continued market penetration of the company's patented Wireless Asset Net(TM) technology - an RFID-based hardware/software system that tracks, controls, and manages fleets of industrial equipment for customers such as Ford Motor Company, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and Walgreen Co. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, revenues increased 33% to $12,974,000 and net income increased 10% to $419,000, compared to $9,758,000 and $382,000, respectively, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2004. "We are pleased to report continued strong increases in both revenues and net income this quarter, driven primarily by expansion of business with core customers," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' chairman and chief executive officer. "At the same time, consistent with our strategic business plan, we continue to position the company to obtain important new customers in key vertical markets, such as mass retail distribution and industrial manufacturing. We expected 2005 to be a breakthrough year for I.D. Systems and our third quarter results are consistent with that vision. We look forward to building further on this strong performance." In the three months ended September 30, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10% to $1,624,000, and research and development expenditures increased 7% to $398,000, compared to $1,470,000 and $372,000, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2004. Gross profit margin in the third quarter was just over 45%, compared to 55% in the third quarter of 2004. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,928,000 and research and development expenses were $1,135,000, compared to $4,177,000 and $810,000, respectively, for the same period a year ago. Gross profit margin for the nine-month was 48%, compared to 53% for the corresponding period in 2004. Ned Mavrommatis, the company's chief financial officer, said, "We continue to focus on rapid growth while closely monitoring costs. As a percentage of revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 28.3% this quarter, and research and development costs decreased to 7%, compared to 45% and 11%, respectively, in the third quarter a year ago. Our gross margins this quarter were affected by higher than expected service costs at the first eight USPS facilities that implemented our Wireless Asset Net system, but by carefully tracking those costs we have refined the scope of work for subsequent USPS deployments and expect to maintain our accustomed gross margins of at least 50% in the future. "I.D. Systems' overall financial condition remains strong," continued Mr. Mavrommatis. "As of September 30, 2005, the company had approximately $6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and approximately $13.8 million of working capital." 1 Highlights of I.D. Systems' third quarter included: o The USPS placed repeat orders valued at $1.6 million to implement the Wireless Asset Net at five additional facilities beyond the eight initially deployed earlier this year. One of those eight facilities performed a successful, comprehensive field evaluation of system performance. Under the USPS' three-year national contract with I.D. Systems, up to 460 USPS facilities can order the Wireless Asset Net. o Walgreen Co. placed a repeat order for Wireless Asset Net deployment at an additional distribution center, bringing to five the number of Walgreens facilities utilizing I.D. Systems' technology. o AeroVironment placed a repeat order for I.D. Systems' Battery ChaMP(TM) to wirelessly monitor its PosiCharge(TM) industrial battery fast-charging system. More than 1,300 Battery ChaMPs have been sold since the new product was introduced at the end of 2004. o Target Corporation awarded a maintenance contract to I.D. Systems to support Target's enterprise-wide deployment of the Wireless Asset Net on approximately 400 material handling vehicles in distribution facilities throughout the United States. I.D. Systems also received new orders from Target for the Wireless Asset Net to be deployed on additional material handling equipment at several new distribution facilities. o Deloitte & Touche identified I.D. Systems as one of the top ten fastest growing technology companies in New Jersey, and one of the top 150 in North America. Rankings are based on the percentage of revenue growth from 2000 to 2004 - I.D Systems' revenue during that five-year period increased 1,354%. o I.D. Systems enhanced the RFID-based equipment tracking capabilities of its Wireless Asset Net' system to enable location accuracy to within 20 feet - indoors as well as out. This high degree of indoor tracking accuracy is technically significant because it does not rely on costly, high-bandwidth interconnections with centralized data-processing computers - as required by other types of real-time locating systems - and because it is accomplished through the use of radio frequency technology only, not GPS (the Global Positioning System), which is inoperable indoors. Investor Conference Call I.D. Systems will hold a conference call for investors and analysts at 4:45 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 3, 2005. Jeffrey Jagid, chairman and CEO, Kenneth Ehrman, president and COO, Ned Mavrommatis, CFO, and Rick Muntz, EVP of sales and marketing, will discuss the results of the quarter.

The conference call will be broadcast live over the Internet via the Investors section of the company's website at www.id-systems.com.
