Management Commentary

"We began 2012 on a positive note, continuing a year-over-year revenue growth trend we have sustained now for the past nine quarters," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' Chairman and CEO. "Revenue contributions in Q1 2012 came from a balanced mix of market segments, products and services, led by strong increases in sales of both vehicle and transportation asset management systems. Our high-margin recurring revenue represented 43% of total revenue for the quarter, and our overall gross margin remained strong and stable at 50%.

"We remain focused on our growth strategy: expanding business with core customers across vertical and geographic markets, diversifying revenue sources, particularly by leveraging channel partners, and extending our market leadership with best-practice supply chain asset management solutions."

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement its financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), I.D. Systems provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income/loss and non-GAAP net income/loss per basic and diluted share.

Systems believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook.
