          Intelli-Check Announces First Quarter 2005 Financial Results

WOODBURY, New York (May 13, 2005) - Intelli-Check, Inc. (AMEX:IDN), a leader in
advanced identification-document verification systems, today announced financial
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Revenues for the first three months of 2005 remained relatively unchanged at
$296,832 compared to $298,259 for the same period in 2004. However, the company
reported a 27.5 percent increase year over year in sales bookings, which
represents shipments of products and contracted services, to $350,179 in 2005,
from $274,571 in 2004. Net loss increased to $1,569,603, or $.17 per share in Q1
2005, from $1,075,465, or $.12 per share in Q1 2004. The net loss in 2005
included $246,400 in non-cash expenses. In 2004, the net loss included $55,000
of non-cash expenses.. Contributing to the loss in 2005 was an increase in legal
fees of approximately $525,000, primarily as a result of patent-infringement
litigation. Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding used in
computing per-share amounts were 10,467,186 in the 2005 quarter and 10,153,158
in the 2004 quarter. At quarter-end of 2005, the company had on its balance
sheet $3,508,428 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities
and other investments. Additionally, during this period, as a result of the
conversion of the redeemable convertible preferred stock held by Gryphon Master
Fund L.P. into common stock, and after taking into account the loss reported for
the period, stockholders' equity increased by $1,462,675 to $2,330,999 from
year-end 2004.

"We believe that the first quarter, with its continuing increase in bookings,
marks a turning point for the company," said Frank Mandelbaum, chairman and
chief executive officer. "We believe that the market and political climate have
shifted in our favor, and we are prepared to react to opportunities with our
strong portfolio of products that address the markets' changing needs. We
believe the demand for our point-of-sale solution is growing because we have
demonstrated in head-to-head comparisons that our technology not only provides
increased security against identify theft, check, credit card and other economic
frauds, but also offers significant productivity enhancements to users. In
addition, since some 90 percent of all driver licenses now contain encoded and
verifiable information, it makes our systems much more attractive, allowing
utilization on a national level. On the political side, the passage of the Real
ID Act as an amendment to the Iraq funding bill, which is now awaiting
Presidential signature, will ensure that the driver license continues to be the
single most-important document used for identification purposes. The act
stipulates what information must be encoded on the license, but it does not
stipulate the encoding format. We believe this will make our patented parsing
technology all-the-more valuable. Intelli-Check's technology is, to our
knowledge, the only available one that can verify the approximately 160 encoding
formats on licenses from approximately 60 jurisdictions in the U.S. and Canada."

Mr. Mandelbaum continued, "I would also like to take this opportunity to thank
retiring board member Evelyn Berezin for her dedicated service to the company
and its shareholders, a position she has held since 1999. The governance and
nominating committee of the board has nominated Guy L. Smith for election to
this open board seat at our annual stockholder's meeting. He currently holds the
position of executive vice president of Diageo North America - the world's
leading premium drinks company. He is a leading figure in both the corporate
world and public service, and we are honored that he has agreed to stand for
election.


                                       1


Mr. Smith manages public, government, and corporate relations for Diageo. He
oversees all communications, public affairs, marketing public relations and
corporate responsibility programs for the company and sits on the company's
North American Executive Committee. He is also responsible for the company's
undertakings to reduce under-age access and abuse of alcoholic beverages. Prior
to joining Diageo he served on the White House staff as a Special Advisor to
President Clinton.

The company will host a conference call for shareholders and members of the
investment community to discuss its financial results and corporate initiatives
on Monday, May 16th at 9:00 am (EDT). Interested parties may participate in the
