SYSTEMS, INC. Notes to Condensed Financial Statements September 30, 2004 NOTE A - BASIS OF REPORTING The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of I.D. Systems, Inc. (the "Company") as of September 30, 2004, the results of its operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004. The results of operations for the three - month and nine - month periods ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders. NOTE B - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK Earnings (loss) per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------ ----------------------------- 2003 2004 2003 2004 ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------ BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Net income (loss) $ (336,000) $ 45,000 $ (932,000) $ 382,000 ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------ Weighted average shares outstanding 6,898,000 7,629,000 6,845,000 7,380,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Basic earnings (loss) per share $ (0.05) $ 0.01 $ (0.14) $ 0.05 ============= ============ ============= ============ DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Net income (loss) $ (336,000) $ 45,000 $ (932,000) $ 382,000 ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------ Weighted average shares outstanding 6,898,000 7,629,000 6,845,000 7,380,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Dilutive effect of stock options 0 1,347,000 0 1,097,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted 6,898,000 8,976,000 6,845,000 8,477,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ (0.05) $ 0.01 $ (0.14) $ 0.05 ============= ============ ============ ============ Basic income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase outstanding common shares. For the three-month and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2003, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding 4 are the same since the effect from the potential exercise of outstanding stock options would have been anti-dilutive. NOTE C - REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's revenues are derived from contracts with multiple element arrangements, which include the Company's system, training and technical support. Revenues are recognized as each element is earned based on the relative fair value of each element and when there are no undelivered elements that are essential to the functionality of the delivered elements. The Company's system is typically implemented by the customer or a third party and, as a result, revenue is recognized when title passes to the customer, which usually is upon delivery of the system, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Training and technical support revenues are generally recognized at time of performance. The Company also enters into post-contract maintenance and support agreements. Revenue is recognized over the service period and the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. The Company also derives revenues under leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering the system sale, maintenance and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as sales-type leases pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases". Accordingly, the system sale is recognized upon delivery of the system, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Upon the recognition of revenue, an asset is established for the "investment in sales-type leases". Maintenance revenue and interest income are recognized monthly over the lease term. NOTE D - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", which was released in December 2002 as an amendment of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards.

Interest at the 30 day LIBOR plus 1.75% and principal are payable monthly. To hedge the loan's floating interest expense, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contemporaneously with the closing of the loan and fixed the rate of interest at 5.28% for the five year term. The loan is secured by all the assets of the Company. The fair value of the interest rate swap is not material to the financial statements or results of operations. At September 30, 2004, there was approximately $696,000 outstanding under the term loan and the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the term loan. The fair value of the interest rate swap is not material to the financial statements or results of operations. NOTE F- LINE OF CREDIT The Company has a working capital line of credit, with maximum borrowings of $500,000. Interest at the 30 day LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.75% is payable monthly. At September 30, 2004, the Company did not owe anything under the line of credit. NOTE G - DEFERRED CONTRACT COSTS During 2003, the Company entered into a contract with a customer pursuant to which the Company's system will be implemented on a portion of the customer's fleet of vehicles. The Company will be entitled to issue sixty monthly invoices of up to $40,000 per month, each of which is contingent upon certain conditions being met. Costs directly attributable to this contract, consisting principally of engineering and manufacturing costs, are being deferred until implementation of the system is completed. The capitalized costs will be charged to cost of revenue in accordance with the cost recovery method, pursuant to which the capitalized contract costs will be reduced in each period by an amount equal to the revenue recognized until all of the capitalized costs are written off. As of September 30, 2004, the Company capitalized $857,000 of such contract costs and amortized $280,000 of such costs. The implementation of the system is substantially completed and additional contract costs are not anticipated to be significant. The Company will continue to evaluate the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs for potential impairment. NOTE H - CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS Four customers accounted for 42%, 21% , 12% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. The same customers accounted for 56%, 9%, 8% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's accounts and unbilled receivable as of September 30, 2004. NOTE I - UNBILLED RECEIVABLES In accordance with a contractual arrangement with one customer, the Company is not able to invoice for systems delivered until the entire number of systems covered under the purchase ordered are delivered. As the systems are delivered and all of the criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied, the Company recognizes revenue and records an unbilled receivable for the delivered systems. Once all the systems covered under the specific purchase order are delivered, the Company invoices the customer for the entire amount. At September 30, 2004 unbilled receivables were $788,000. 6 ITEM 2.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain operating information expressed as a percentage of revenue: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------ ---------------------------- 2003 2004 2003 2004 --------------- -------------- ----------- ------------ Revenues 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of Revenues 46.6 44.6 48.2 47.0 --------------- -------------- ----------- ------------ Gross Profit 53.4 55.4 51.8 53.0 Selling, general and administrative expenses 62.4 44.7 59.8 42.8 Research and development expenses 13.9 11.3 12.7 8.3 --------------- -------------- ----------- ------------ Income (loss) from operations (22.9) (0.6) (20.7) 1.9 Net interest income 3.6 0.8 3.7 0.9 Other income -- 1.2 -- 1.1 --------------- -------------- ----------- ------------ NET INCOME (LOSS) (19.3) % 1.4 % (17.0) % 3.9 % --------------- -------------- ----------- ------------ 7 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 REVENUES. Revenues were $3,289,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $1,743,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in revenues in the three-month period was attributable to increased sales of the Company's Wireless Asset Net system for tracking and managing fleets of industrial equipment. Included in revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2004 is $120,000 of revenues related to the contract described in Note G. The revenue was offset by $120,000 of amortized capital costs included in costs of revenues. COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues were $1,467,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $812,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2003. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues were 44.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 46.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2003. This percentage decrease was primarily attributable to the increased sale of higher margin services during the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, as well as from cost reductions to the hardware components of the Company's system. Gross profit was $1,822,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $931,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2003. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased to 55.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2004 from 53.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2003. Included in costs of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2004 is $120,000 of amortized capitalized costs associated with the contract described in Note G. In accordance, with the cost recovery method, the capitalized contract costs were reduced by the same amount equal to the revenue recognized in the period. Excluding the amortization of the deferred contract costs of $120,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 57.4% in comparison to 53.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2003. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,470,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $1,087,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to increased expenses associated with hiring additional sales, marketing and customer service personnel. As a percentage of revenues, however, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 44.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2004 from 62.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2003 as a result of an increase in revenues. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses were $372,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $243,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2003. This increase was attributable to furthering our efforts to reduce costs, increase flexibility and enhance the functionality of the Company's systems. As a percentage of revenues, however, research and development expenses decreased to 11.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2004 from 13.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2003 as a result of an increase in revenues. 8 NET INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest income was $44,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $79,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease was attributable to the assignment of certain sales type leases to a third party leasing company. During the three month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company earned interest income in connection with sales type lease arrangements. The Company invests in investment grade commercial paper and corporate bonds, which are classified as held to maturity. Interest expense was $16,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. OTHER INCOME. Other income of $37,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 reflects rental income from a sublease arrangement. NET INCOME (LOSS). Net income was $45,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, in the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to a net loss of $336,000, or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share, in the three months ended September 30, 2003. This was due primarily to the reasons described above. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 REVENUES. Revenues were $9,758,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $5,477,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in revenues in the nine-month period is attributable to increased sales of the Company's Wireless Asset Net system for tracking and managing fleets of industrial equipment. Included in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is $280,000 of revenues related to the contract described in Note G. The revenue is offset by $280,000 of amortized capital costs included in costs of revenues. COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues were $4,589,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $2,643,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues were 47.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 48.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This percentage decrease was primarily attributable to the increased sale of higher margin services during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, as well as from cost reductions to the hardware components of the Company's system. Gross profit was $5,169,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $2,834,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased to 53.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from 51.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Included in costs of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is $280,000 of amortized capitalized costs associated with the contract described in Note G. In accordance, with the cost recovery method, the capitalized contract costs were reduced by the same amount equal to the revenue recognized in the period. Excluding the amortization of the deferred contract costs of $280,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 54.5% in comparison to 51.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.
