I.D. Systems, Inc. Reports Record 2004 Year-End Financial Results


Hackensack, NJ, February 16, 2005 --

I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY) today announced its financial results for the
year ended December 31, 2004. Revenues increased 73% to $13,741,000, up from
$7,959,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Net income increased to
$398,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of
($1,199,000), or ($0.17) per basic and diluted share, a year ago. The growth in
revenues and net income was primarily attributable to increased demand for the
company's patented RFID-based technology - the Wireless Asset Net(TM) - for
tracking and managing industrial equipment.

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004, revenues rose 60% to $3,983,000
compared to $2,482,000 for the same period in 2003. Net income for the fourth
quarter increased to $16,000, compared to a net loss of ($267,000) for the same
period a year ago.

"I.D. Systems had a solid year in 2004, thanks to the continued hard work of our
employees, our success in expanding relationships with key customers, and the
development of new customers and new applications," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D.
Systems' chairman and chief executive officer. "We continue to innovate, enhance
our technical capabilities, and capitalize on our unmatched experience providing
high-return solutions for our customers. We believe our Wireless Asset Net
industrial fleet management system is becoming a `best-practice' technology for
corporate material handling and we are achieving significant milestones in
opening new markets for our RFID-based solutions, including homeland security,
rental car fleet management, and remote machine monitoring. We are pleased to
note that 2004 was I.D. Systems' best year to date, on many levels."

Ned Mavrommatis, I.D. Systems' chief financial officer, said, "The company
continues to meet or exceed its strategic objectives. In 2004, we continued to
balance rapid growth with sound cost management, achieving a high double-digit
year-over-year increase in revenues, sustaining a high gross profit margin - 53%
this year compared to 49% in 2003 - and realizing net income of $.05 per diluted
share. I.D. Systems also generated positive cash flow from operations in 2004 of
$1,623,000. The company's financial condition remains strong. As of December 31,
2004, the company had $11.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments,
and $12.7 million of working capital, compared to $8.6 million and $8.2 million,
respectively, at December 31, 2003."



Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the year ended December
31, 2004 were $5,879,000, up from $4,456,000 for the year ended December 31,
2003, as payroll expenses increased to support growing sales. As a percentage of
revenues, however, SG&A expenses decreased to 43% in 2004, compared to 56% in
2003.

Research and development (R&D) expenditures for the year ended December 31,
2004, were $1,234,000, up from $891,000 in 2003. As a percentage of revenues,
however, R&D expenses decreased to 9% in 2004, compared to just over 11% for
2003.

Highlights of the year ended December 31, 2004, included:

o        Expansion of business with Ford Motor Company, including additional
         orders for I.D. Systems' industrial vehicle electronic control systems
         (IVECS) for Ford's North American manufacturing plants, and a new
         contract to provide enterprise-wide support and maintenance for IVECS.

o        Expansion of business with Target Corporation, which rolled out a new
         version of I.D. Systems' Wireless Asset Net industrial fleet management
         system on approximately 400 material handling vehicles in Target
         distribution facilities throughout the United States.

o        Continued work with the United States Postal Service (USPS), to
         translate the previous success of Wireless Asset Net technology at
         individual USPS mail processing facilities into an enterprise-wide
         implementation of a wireless Powered Industrial Vehicle Management
         System (PIVMS). These efforts culminated in a USPS contract award to
         I.D. Systems, announced in January 2005, for a national PIVMS
         deployment encompassing up to 460 USPS facilities over the next three
         years.

o        Continued development of homeland security applications with the
         Transportation Security Administration (TSA), including the successful
         completion of a series of key functional tests at Newark Liberty
         International Airport, an increase in funding for the Newark program,
         and the award of a new TSA contract to deploy a wireless vehicle
         security system at a seaport in Jacksonville, Florida.

o        Expansion of business with WinCo Foods, which placed a follow-on order
         for the Wireless Asset Net for its newest distribution center.

o        Continued development of rental car fleet management applications with
         Avis Rent A Car System, Inc., which has a version of the Wireless Asset
         Net deployed on its 2,000-vehicle fleet in Puerto Rico.

o        Continued work with Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, General Dynamics'
         National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, and the U.S. Navy's Portsmouth
         Naval Shipyard to develop and implement an advanced Wireless Equipment
         Monitoring and Control System (WEMACS) for commercial and shipyard
         environments.

o        New business in the automotive industry, as Premier Manufacturing
         Support Services ordered the Wireless Asset Net on behalf of one of the
         world's largest automotive parts manufacturers. Premier provides
         management and support services for more than 120 automotive plants
         worldwide and could potentially develop into a strategic marketing and
         system support partner for I.D. Systems.

o        New business in the mass market retail distribution sector, as Wajax
         Industries ordered the Wireless Asset Net on behalf of a major Canadian
         retailer, as announced in January 2005.

o        New Wireless Asset Net system enhancements, including the launch of a
         new generation of wireless vehicle monitoring hardware (the Universal
         Vehicle Asset Communicator, or UVAC 02) and a series of software
         upgrades. The UVAC 02 has expanded data management capabilities, can be
         installed more quickly and easily than earlier hardware generations,
         simplifies interactivity for equipment operators, and allows for easier
         maintenance. The improved software includes expanded server options for


                                       2


         enterprise-wide deployments, augmented database support, increased data
         throughput, new reporting and auto-emailing tools, and enhanced remote
         diagnostic capabilities.

o        New RFID-based product developments, including the Battery Charger
         Monitoring Point(TM) (Battery ChaMP(TM)), the AC Power Control Module
         (ACPCM), and the Machine Asset Communicator(TM) (MAC).

             o    The Battery ChaMP provides remote management and real-time
                  visibility of batteries and chargers used to power fleets of
                  electric vehicles. I.D. Systems has already received an order
                  for this new product, as announced in January 2005 -
                  AeroVironment, Inc. purchased 500 ChaMP units for its
                  PosiCharge(TM) fast-charging system, which is being deployed
                  for a major automotive manufacturer.

             o    The ACPCM product, developed as part of I.D. Systems' program
                  with the National Shipbuilding Research Program, supports
                  Wireless Asset Net installations on complex machinery, such as
                  cranes. The ACPCM is designed to accommodate virtually any
                  power input and monitor multiple motor data points for
                  advanced maintenance management and asset utilization
                  analysis.

             o    The MAC product provides advanced wireless monitoring and
                  control of fixed machinery, including automatic quality
                  control checks, real-time alerts on out-of-specification
                  machine parameters, automatic machine shut-down based on
                  user-defined criteria, and electronic maintenance checklists.
                  The initial application of MAC technology is in the automotive
                  industry, where it is being used to enforce quality control on
                  adhesive-dispensing robots.

o        A new cooperative relationship with Unisys Coporation, which, as a
         subcontractor to I.D. Systems, will provide implementation services and
         technical support for I.D. Systems' program with the U.S. Postal
         Service. I.D. Systems is also working with Unisys in a informal joint
         marketing capacity to explore other opportunites for Wireless Asset Net
         system deployments within the U.S. Government.

o        The transition of trading in I.D. Systems common stock from the NASDAQ
         Small Cap Market to the NASDAQ National Market.

ABOUT THE WIRELESS ASSET NET(TM)

The Wireless Asset Net consists of intelligent wireless devices installed on
powered equipment, a patented radio frequency communication infrastructure, and
client-server software for access control, utilization analysis, real-time
location tracking, and many other functions. The Wireless Asset Net is designed
to improve industrial workplace safety by restricting vehicle access to trained,
authorized operators and by providing electronic safety inspection checklists.
The system is designed to reduce maintenance expenses by automatically uploading
vehicle data, reporting vehicle problems in real time, scheduling maintenance


                                        3


according to actual vehicle usage rather than on a calendar basis, and helping
plant management determine the optimal economic time to replace equipment. The
system is also designed to help improve labor productivity and asset utilization
by ensuring equipment is in the proper place at the right time and by providing
management with unique reports, charts, and analyses.
