Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
 
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Description of the Company
 
I.D. Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) develop, market and sell wireless solutions for managing and securing high-value enterprise assets. These assets include industrial vehicles, including forklifts, airport ground support equipment, rental vehicles and transportation assets, such as dry van trailers, refrigerated trailers, railcars and containers. The Company’s patented wireless asset management system addresses the needs of organizations to control, track, monitor and analyze their assets. The Company’s solutions enable customers to achieve tangible economic benefits by making timely, informed decisions that increase the security, productivity and efficiency of their operations. The Company outsources its hardware manufacturing operations to contract manufacturers.
 
I.D. Systems, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1993 and commenced operations in January 1994.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of I.D. Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Asset Intelligence, LLC (“AI”), I.D. Systems GmbH (“GmbH”) and I.D. Systems (UK) Ltd (formerly Didbox Ltd.) (“Didbox”) (collectively referred to as the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013, the consolidated results of its operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, the consolidated change in stockholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 and the consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTION - AVIS BUDGET GROUP INC.
 
In connection with the Master Agreement (as defined below), the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of August 22, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), with Avis Budget Group, Inc. (“Avis Budget Group”), pursuant to which Avis Budget Group purchased from the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,604,500 (or $4.60 per share, which price was based on the average closing price of our common stock for the twenty trading days prior to the Effective Date), (i) 1,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 600,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Shares”). The Company issued the Shares in 2011 from treasury stock, reflecting the cost of such shares on a specific identification basis.
 
The Warrant has an exercise price of $10.00 per share of common stock. The Warrant is exercisable (i) with respect to 100,000 of the Warrant Shares, at any time after the Effective Date and on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary thereof, and (ii) with respect to 500,000 of the Warrant Shares, at any time on or after the date (if any) on which Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC (“ABCR”), a subsidiary of Avis Budget Group and the Avis entity that is the counterparty under the Master Agreement described below, executes and delivers to the Company SOW#2 (which is described below), and on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date.   The fair value of the Warrant for 100,000 shares of approximately $137,000 was recorded as a sales incentive in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the third quarter of 2011.  The Company has not recognized the impact of the remaining 500,000 shares underlying the Warrant in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, as it is considered contingently issued as of September 30, 2013. See Note 11 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Also on the Effective Date, the Company and ABCR entered into a Master Software License, Information Technology Services and Equipment Purchase Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) for the Company’s system relating to radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled rental car management and virtual location rental (collectively, the “System”). The order was placed pursuant to a statement of work (“SOW”) issued under the Master Agreement and related agreements with ABCR.
 
The Master Agreement governs the terms and conditions of the sales and license, and orders for hardware and for other related services will be contained in SOWs issued pursuant to the Master Agreement.  The term of the Master Agreement continues until six (6) months after the termination or expiration of the last SOW under the Master Agreement.
 
ABCR hosts the System. As part of the Master Agreement, the Company also will provide ABCR with services for ongoing maintenance and support of the System (the “Maintenance Services”) for a period of 60 months from installation of the equipment.  ABCR has the option to renew the period for twelve (12) months upon its expiry, and then after such 12-month period, the period can continue on a month-to-month basis (during which ABCR can terminate the period) for up to 48 additional months.
 
Under the terms of SOW#1, which was executed and delivered by ABCR on the Effective Date concurrent with the execution and delivery of the Master Agreement, ABCR has agreed to pay not less than $14,000,000 to the Company for the System and Maintenance Services, which covers 25,000 units, which relates to a limited subset of ABCR’s total fleet during this initial phase of the Master Agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company delivered the first 5,000 units under SOW#1 and recognized approximately $1.7 million in product revenue and a sales-type lease receivable. The Company delivered the remaining 20,000 units under SOW#1 during the third quarter of 2012 and recognized approximately $6.9 million in product revenue and a sales-type lease receivable.
 
Under the terms of SOW#1, the Company is entitled to issue sixty (60) monthly invoices of up to $286,100 for the 30,000 units delivered under SOW#1 and a pilot agreement entered into between the Company and ABCR in 2009. In the event that ABCR terminates SOW#1, then ABCR would be liable to the Company for the net present value of all future remaining charges under SOW#1 at a negotiated discount rate per annum, with the payment due on the effective date of termination.
 
ABCR also has an option to proceed with Statement of Work 2 (“SOW#2”), pursuant to which the Company would sell to ABCR additional units.  In the event ABCR purchases such additional units, then ABCR affiliates and franchisees will have the right to enter into agreements with the Company to purchase the System on substantially the same terms and conditions as are in the Master Agreement. The term of SOW#2 is sixty (60) months.
 
The Master Agreement provided for a period of exclusivity (the “Exclusivity Period”) commencing on the Effective Date and ending twelve (12) months after delivery of the 5000th new unit pursuant to SOW#1. The Company and ABCR amended the Master Agreement to extend the Exclusivity Period, which was then scheduled to expire on July 31, 2013, to September 30, 2013. Although the Exclusivity Period expired, the Company and ABCR continue to negotiate for the expansion of the deployment across a larger segment of ABCR’s global fleet; however, there can be no assurance that they will enter into a definitive agreement. Should ABCR proceed with SOW#2, the Exclusivity Period would resume on the effective date of SOW#2 (provided that SOW#2 is executed within three (3) months of expiry, unless the Company has already entered into an agreement with another customer to sell the System) for a period of four (4) years. During the Exclusivity Period, the Company will not (i) sell the System to any ABCR Competitor (as defined in the Master Agreement) for the same purpose set forth in the Master Agreement, and/or (ii) market and/or engage in any sales discussions or negotiations regarding any sale of the System with any ABCR Competitor that is prohibited under clause (i) above.
 
 
7

 
The Master Agreement may be terminated by ABCR for cause (which is generally the Company’s material breach of its obligations under the Master Agreement), for convenience (subject to the termination fee detailed in the Master Agreement), upon a material adverse change to the Company (as defined in the Master Agreement), or for intellectual property infringement.  The Company does not have the right to unilaterally terminate the Master Agreement. In the event that ABCR terminates SOW#1, then ABCR would be liable to the Company for the net present value of all future remaining charges under SOW#1 at a negotiated discount rate per annum, with the payment due on the effective date of termination.

NOTE 3 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents unless they are legally or contractually restricted. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits.

NOTE 4 - USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness. The most significant estimates relate to stock-based compensation arrangements, measurements of fair value, realization of deferred tax assets, the impairment of tangible and intangible assets, inventory reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves and deferred revenue and costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENTS
 
The Company’s investments include debt securities, U.S. Treasury Notes, government and state agency bonds, mutual funds, corporate bonds and commercial paper, which are classified as either available for sale, held to maturity or trading, depending on management’s investment intentions relating to these securities. Available for sale securities are measured at fair value based on quoted market values of the securities, with the unrealized gain and (losses) reported as comprehensive income or (loss). For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported unrealized gain of $56,000 and $111,000, respectively, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported unrealized gain (loss) of $21,000 and $(77,000), respectively, on available for sale securities in total comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013, all investments were classified as available for sale securities. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available for sale securities are determined on a specific-identification basis. The Company has classified as short-term those securities that mature within one year and mutual funds. All other securities are classified as long-term.
 
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of investment securities designated as available for sale, excluding investment in mutual funds of $1,377,000, classified by the contractual maturity date of the security as of September 30, 2013:

The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those levels:
 
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s estimates of market participants’ assumptions.
 
At September 30, 2013, all of the Company’s investments are classified as Level 1 for fair value measurements.

NOTE 6 - REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company’s revenue is derived from: (i) sales of our industrial and rental fleet wireless asset management systems and services, which includes training and technical support; (ii) sales of our transportation asset management systems and spare parts sold to customers (for which title transfers on the date of customer receipt) and from the related communication services under contracts that generally provide for service over periods ranging from one to five years; (iii) post-contract maintenance and support agreements; and (iv) periodically, from leasing arrangements.
 
Our industrial and rental fleet wireless asset management systems consist of on-asset hardware, communication infrastructure and software. Revenue derived from the sale of our industrial and rental fleet wireless asset management systems is allocated to each element based upon vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the selling price of the element. VSOE of the selling price is based upon the price charged when the element is sold separately. Revenue is recognized as each element is earned based on the selling price of each element based on VSOE, 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 and risk of loss passes to the customer, which usually is upon delivery of the system, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, sales price is fixed and determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and contractual obligations have been satisfied. In some instances, we are also responsible for providing installation services. The additional installation services, which could be performed by third parties, are considered another element in a multi-element deliverable and revenue for installation services is recognized at the time the installation is provided. Training and technical support revenue are recognized at time of performance.
 
The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of remote transportation asset management systems and spare parts when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria include requirements that the delivery of future products or services under the arrangement is not required for the delivered items to serve their intended purpose. The Company has determined that the revenue derived from the sale of transportation asset management systems does not have stand-alone value to the customer separate from the communication services provided and, therefore, the arrangements constitute a single unit of accounting. Under the applicable accounting guidance, all of the Company’s billings for equipment and the related cost are deferred, recorded, and classified as a current and long-term liability and a current and long-term asset, respectively. Deferred revenue and cost are recognized over the service contract life, beginning at the time that a customer acknowledges acceptance of the equipment and service. The customer service contracts typically range from one to five years. The Company amortized $908,000 and $2,451,000 of deferred equipment revenue during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $815,000 and $2,289,000 during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
 
The service revenue for our remote asset monitoring equipment relates to charges for monthly messaging usage and value-added features charges. The usage fee is a monthly fixed charge based on the expected utilization according to the rate plan chosen by the customer. Service revenue generally commences upon equipment installation and customer acceptance, and is recognized over the period such services are provided.
 
Revenue from remote asset monitoring equipment activation fees is deferred and amortized over the life of the contract.
 
Spare parts sales are reflected in product revenues and recognized on the date of customer receipt of the part.
 
The Company also derives revenue under leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering the system sale, maintenance, support and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as sales-type leases. Accordingly, an asset is established for the sales-type lease receivable at the present value of the expected lease payments and revenue is deferred and recognized over the service contract, as described above. Maintenance revenues and interest income are recognized monthly over the lease term.
 
The Company also enters into post-contract maintenance and support agreements for its wireless asset management systems. Revenue is recognized ratably over the service period and the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. Deferred revenue also includes prepayment of extended maintenance and support contracts.
 
Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Notes receivable relate to product financing arrangements that exceed one year and bear interest at approximately 8% - 10%. The notes receivable are collateralized by the equipment being financed. Amounts collected on the notes receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Unearned interest income is amortized to interest income over the life of the notes using the effective-interest method. There were no sales of notes receivable during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013.
 
The present value of net investment in sales-type lease receivable is principally for three to five-year leases of the Company’s products and is reflected net of unearned income of $1,362,000 and $1,230,000 at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013, respectively, discounted at 2% - 26%.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined on an individual note and lease basis if it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest contractually due. We consider our customers’ financial condition and historical payment patterns in determining the customers’ probability of default. The impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note’s effective interest rate. There were no impairment losses recognized for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013.
 
Scheduled maturities of sales-type lease minimum lease payments outstanding as of September 30, 2013 are as follows:

The Company had expenditures of approximately $472,000 for computer equipment which had not been placed in service as of September 30, 2013.  Depreciation expense is not recorded for such assets until they are placed in service.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 was $244,000 and $767,000, respectively, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 was $251,000 and $749,000, respectively. This includes amortization of costs associated with computer software and website development for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 of $142,000 and $434,000, respectively, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 of $142,000 and $425,000, respectively.
 
The Company capitalizes in fixed assets the costs of software development and website development. Specifically, the assets comprise an implementation of Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, enhancements to the VeriWise  TM systems, and a customer interface website (which is the primary tool used to provide data to our customers). The website employs updated web architecture and improved functionality and features, including, but not limited to, customization at the customer level, enhanced security features, custom virtual electronic geofencing of landmarks, global positioning system (GPS)-based remote mileage reporting, and richer mapping capabilities. The Company capitalized the costs incurred during the “development” and “enhancement” stages of the software and website development. Costs incurred during the “planning” and “post-implementation/operation” stages of development were expensed. The Company capitalized $69,000 and $7,000 for such projects for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 11 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Stock Option Plans
 
The Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which the Company had the right to grant options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock. The Company also adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which the Company had the right to grant stock awards and options to purchase up to 2,813,000 shares of common stock. The Company also adopted the 1999 Director Option Plan, pursuant to which the Company had the right to grant options to purchase up to an aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock. The 1995 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock and Director Option Plans expired and the Company cannot issue additional options under these plans.
 
The Company adopted the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan, pursuant to which, as amended, the Company may grant options to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock. The Company also adopted the 2009 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan, pursuant to which, as amended, the Company may grant options to purchase up to an aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock. The plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which has the authority to determine, among other things, the term during which an option may be exercised (not more than 10 years), the exercise price of an option and the vesting provisions.
 
The Company recognizes all employee share-based payments in the statement of operations as an operating expense, based on their fair values on the applicable grant date. As a result, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $155,000 and $457,000, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and $120,000 and $444,000, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, in connection with awards made under the stock option plans.

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the expected life of options is based on historical data with respect to employee exercise periods.
 
The fair value of options vested during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 was $566,000 and $537,000, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 was $70,000 and $199,000, respectively.
 
As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $1,118,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.97 years.
 
The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of valuation and reduces expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.

Restricted Stock
 
In 2006, the Company began granting restricted stock to employees, whereby the employees are contractually restricted from transferring the shares until they are vested. The stock is unvested stock at the time of grant and, upon vesting, there are no contractual restrictions on the stock. The fair value of each share is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of the grant. A summary of all non-vested restricted stock for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 is as follows:

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $124,000 and $383,000, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and $120,000 and $393,000, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, in connection with restricted stock grants. As of September 30, 2013, there was $650,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.80 years.
 
Performance Shares
 
The Company grants performance shares to key employees pursuant to the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended. The issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the performance shares is subject to the achievement of stock price targets of the Company’s common stock at the end of a three-year measurement period from the date of issuance, with the ability to achieve prorated performance shares during interim annual measurement periods. The annual measurement period is based on a trading day average of the Company’s stock after the announcement of annual results. If the stock price performance triggers are not met, the performance shares will not vest and will automatically be returned to the plan. If the stock price performance triggers are met, then the shares will be issued to the employees. Under the applicable accounting guidance, stock compensation expense at the fair value of the shares expected to vest is recorded even if the aforementioned stock price targets are not met. Stock-based compensation expense related to these performance shares for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 was insignificant.

Warrants
 
In connection with the Purchase Agreement with Avis Budget Group, Inc. (“Avis Budget Group”) entered into on August 22, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), the Company issued and sold to Avis Budget Group a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $10.00 per share of common stock. The Warrant is exercisable (i) with respect to 100,000 of the Warrant Shares, at any time after the Effective Date and on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary thereof, and (ii) with respect to 500,000 of the Warrant Shares, at any time on or after the date (if any) on which Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ABCR”) and the subsidiary of Avis Budget Group that is  the counterparty under the Master Agreement (described in Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), executes and delivers to the Company SOW#2 (as defined in the Master Agreement) and on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date.
 
The Warrant may be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” solely in the event that on the later of (i) the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which the Warrant is exercised by the holder, the Company is eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Warrant Shares for resale by the holder and a re-sale registration statement on Form S-3 registering the Warrant Shares for resale by the holder is not then declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available for use by the holder.  The Company has agreed to file such a registration statement (on Form S-3 only, or a successor thereto) within 30 days of the holder’s request therefor, and to have such registration statement declared effective within 90 days of such request, if there is no review by the Staff of the SEC, and within 120 days, if there has been a review by the Staff of the SEC. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has not yet been requested to file such a registration statement.
 
The exercise price of the Warrant and, in some cases, the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to holders of common stock.  In the event of a fundamental transaction involving the Company, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or similar reorganization or recapitalization, the holder will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to such fundamental transaction.
 
The Company is required to reserve a sufficient number of shares of common stock for the purpose enabling the Company to issue the Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has sufficient shares reserved.
 
The fair value of the 100,000 Warrant Shares which vested on the Effective Date was recorded as reduction of product revenue during the third quarter of 2011. The remaining 500,000 Warrant Shares underlying the Warrant, which vest upon the execution of SOW#2, have not been valued at this time since the Company has not determined that it is probable that SOW#2 will be executed and that the Warrant will become exercisable for these remaining 500,000 Warrant Shares.  Since there is no penalty for failure to execute SOW#2, there is no performance commitment date and, therefore, there is no measurement date for these 500,000 Warrant Shares underlying the Warrant until SOW#2 is executed.
 
Shares withheld
 
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, 51,000 and 46,000 shares, respectively of the Company’s common stock were withheld to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted shares and to pay the exercise price of stock options in the aggregate amount of $247,000 and $245,000, respectively.

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase outstanding common shares. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock and performance shares awards. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, 1,953,000 and 3,097,000, respectively, outstanding stock options, warrants and shares of restricted stock and performance shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since the effect from the potential exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants and vesting of shares of restricted stock and performance shares would have been anti-dilutive. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are the same, since the effect from the potential exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants and vesting of restricted stock and performance shares of 3,197,000 would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 14 – CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION
 
In September 2013 the Company acquired certain computer equipment pursuant to a capital lease agreement. Under the lease agreement, during the term, which expires in September 2015, the Company is required to make monthly payments of approximately $14,000, including interest at an annual rate of 12.82%.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had provided a valuation allowance to fully reserve its net operating loss carryforwards and other items giving rise to deferred tax assets, primarily as a result of anticipated net losses for income tax purposes.
 
As of December 31, 2012, approximately $9,500,000 of the Company’s New Jersey loss carryforwards (“NJ NOLs”) had been approved for future sale under a program of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, which we refer to as the NJEDA. In order to realize these benefits, we must apply to the NJEDA each year and must meet various requirements for continuing eligibility. In addition, the program must continue to be funded by the State of New Jersey, and there are limitations based on the level of participation by other companies. Since specific sales transactions are subject to approval by the NJEDA, we recognize the associated tax benefits in the financial statements as they are approved. As of December 31, 2012, the Company received approval for the sale of approximately $9.5 million of NJ NOLs, subject to a 83.9% seller’s allocation factor ($8.0 million, net) for approximately $662,000. As such, the Company reversed the valuation allowance related to these NJ NOLs in 2012. In January 2013, the Company sold NJ tax benefits for approximately $662,000.

NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Cash and cash equivalents and investments in securities are carried at fair value. Financing receivables and capital lease obligation are carried at cost, which is not materially different than fair value. Accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short period to maturity of these instruments.

NOTE 17 - CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS
 
Two customers accounted for 19% and 10% of the Company’s revenue during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 and 11% and 12% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2013. One customer accounted for 56% of finance receivables as of September 30, 2013.
 
Two customers accounted for 21% and 16% of the Company’s revenue during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. One customer accounted for 14% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2012. One customer accounted for 77% of notes and sales-type lease receivables as of September 30, 2012.

NOTE 18 - STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
 
On November 3, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value of up to $3,000,000 pursuant to a share repurchase program. The repurchases under the share repurchase program are made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and are funded from the Company’s working capital. The amount and timing of such repurchases is dependent upon the price and availability of shares, general market conditions and the availability of cash, as determined at the discretion of the Company’s management. All shares of common stock repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase program are held as treasury stock. The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has purchased a total of approximately 310,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,340,000, or an average cost of $4.33 per share.
 
Previously, on May 3, 2007, the Company had announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of up to $10,000,000 pursuant to a share repurchase program (the “2007 Repurchase Program”). The 2007 Repurchase Program was terminated by the Board of Directors in March 2012. The Company had purchased a total of approximately 1,075,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under the 2007 Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9,970,000, or an average cost of $9.27 per share. The repurchases were funded from the Company’s working capital, and the amount and timing of such repurchases depended upon the price and availability of shares, general market conditions and the availability of cash, as determined at the discretion of our management.

Income and expense accounts of foreign operations are translated at actual or weighted-average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations that operate in a local currency environment are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Translation gains or losses are reported as components of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in consolidated stockholders’ equity. Net translation gains or losses resulting from the translation of foreign financial statements and the effect of exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature with the GmbH resulted in translation losses of $(37,000) and $(69,000) for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively, which is included in comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

NOTE 21 - RIGHTS AGREEMENT
 
In July 2009, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in order to create a new series of preferred stock, to be designated the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).  Shareholders of the Preferred Stock, if issued, would be entitled to certain minimum quarterly dividend rights, voting rights, and liquidation preferences.
 
In connection with the designation of the Preferred Stock, the Company previously entered into  a shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), which was established in July 2009 and had a three-year term that expired in July 2012 and was not renewed following expiration. Under the Rights Plan, the Board of Directors had authorized and declared and paid a dividend of one Right (as defined below) for each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of July 13, 2009.  Each of the Rights, which were registered with the SEC in July 2009, would have entitled the registered holder thereof to purchase from the Company 1/1,000th (subject to prospective anti-dilution adjustments) of a share of Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $19.47 (a “Right”).

NOTE 22 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Except for normal operating leases, the Company is not currently subject to any material commitments.
 
Contingencies
 
The Company is not currently subject to any material commitments or contingencies and legal proceedings, nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against the Company.
 
Severance agreements
 
The Company entered into severance agreements with four of its executive officers. The severance agreements, each of which is substantially identical in form, provide each executive with certain severance and change in control benefits upon the occurrence of a “Trigger Event,” as defined in the severance agreements. As a condition to the Company’s obligations under the severance agreements, each executive has executed and delivered to the Company a restrictive covenants agreement.
 
Under the terms of the severance agreements, in general, each executive is entitled to the following: (i) a cash payment at the rate of the executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Trigger Event for a period of 12, 15 or 18 months, depending on the executive, (ii) continued healthcare coverage during the severance period, (iii) partial accelerated vesting of the executive’s previously granted stock options and restricted stock awards, and (iv) as applicable, an award of “Performance Shares” under the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement previously entered into between the Company and the executive.

NOTE 23 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 provides clarification regarding whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation - Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters - Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a reporting entity either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that constitute a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company's adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial results.
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU provides additional guidance regarding reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (or AOCI). The new guidance requires entities to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of AOCI on the respective line items in net income unless the amounts are not reclassified in their entirety to net income. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, entities are required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for all interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Overview
 
We develop, market and sell wireless solutions for managing and securing high-value enterprise assets. These assets include industrial vehicles, such as forklifts, airport ground support equipment, rental vehicles, and transportation assets, such as dry van trailers, refrigerated trailers, railcars and containers. Our patented systems utilize radio frequency identification (RFID), Wi-Fi, satellite or cellular communications, and sensor technology to address the needs of organizations to control, track, monitor and analyze their assets. Our solutions enable customers to achieve tangible economic benefits by making timely, informed decisions that increase the safety, security, productivity and efficiency of their operations.
 
We have focused our business activities on three primary applications: (i) industrial fleet management, (ii) transportation asset management, and (iii) rental fleet management. Our solution for industrial fleet management allows our customers to reduce operating costs and capital expenditures and to comply with certain safety regulations by accurately and reliably measuring and controlling fleet activity. This solution also enhances security at industrial facilities and areas of critical infrastructure, such as airports, by controlling access to, and restricting the use of, vehicles and equipment. Our solution for transportation asset management allows our customers to increase revenue per asset deployed, reduce fleet size, and improve the monitoring and control of sensitive cargo. Our solution for rental fleet management assists rental car companies in generating higher revenue by more accurately tracking vehicle data, such as fuel consumption and odometer readings, and improving customer service by expediting the rental and return processes. In addition, our wireless solution for “carsharing” enables rental car companies to establish a network of vehicles positioned strategically around cities or on corporate campuses, control vehicles remotely, manage member reservations by smartphone or Internet, and charge members for vehicle use by the hour.
 
 
25

 
In addition to focusing on these core applications, we adapt our systems to meet our customers’ broader asset management needs and seek opportunities to expand our solution offerings through strategic acquisitions. The acquisition of Didbox Ltd., a privately held, United Kingdom-based manufacturer and marketer of vehicle operator identification systems, provided us with a wider range of industrial vehicle management solutions and expanded our base of operations in Europe. The acquisition of Asset Intelligence LLC (“Asset Intelligence” or “AI”), which provides trailer, railcar, and container tracking solutions for manufacturers, retailers, shippers and freight transportation providers, complemented the Company’s existing businesses, as the focus of Asset Intelligence on trucking, rail, and intermodal applications significantly expanded the scope of assets addressed by the Company’s product solutions. The web and mobile communications technologies of Asset Intelligence also complemented I.D. Systems’ portfolio of wireless asset management patents and provided the Company with access to a broader base of customers.
 
AI combines web-based software technologies with satellite and cellular communications to deliver data-driven telematics solutions for supply chain asset management. These solutions help secure and optimize the performance of trailers, railcars, containers, and the freight they carry, enabling shippers and carriers to maximize security and efficiency throughout their supply chains.
 
AI’s VeriWiseTM product platform provides comprehensive real-time data for faster, more informed decision-making in multiple supply chain applications:
 
•             Asset Optimization-combining web-based asset visibility and advanced telemetry data to monitor the condition of fleet assets, streamline asset deployment, optimize utilization, and maximize return on investment.
 
•             Cold Chain Management-maintaining the condition and quality of temperature-sensitive cargo from point A to point B, and all the points in between.
 
•             Fleet Maintenance-utilizing sensor technologies, real-time data and a wealth of transportation maintenance knowledge to help control maintenance costs, improve preventative maintenance practices, increase asset up-time, extend asset life, and reduce overall cost of ownership.
 
•             Fuel Management-monitoring key factors in fuel consumption, such as tire pressure and engine idle time, to help optimize fuel performance and reduce transportation costs.
 
•             Security & Safety-protecting valuable assets and cargo throughout the supply chain.
 
We introduced a new data analysis software tool called I.D. Systems Analytics. This cloud-based software provides a single, integrated view of industrial asset activity across multiple locations, generating enterprise-wide benchmarks, peer-industry comparisons, and deeper insights into asset operations. Analytics can enable management to make more informed, effective decisions, raise asset performance standards, increase productivity, reduce costs, and enhance safety. Specifically, I.D. Systems Analytics (1) quantifies best-practice enterprise benchmarks for industrial asset utilization and safety; (2) reveals variations and inefficiencies in asset activity across both sites and geographic regions; (3) identifies opportunities to eliminate or reallocate assets, with full enterprise awareness, to reduce capital and operating costs; (4) helps balance asset mix and inform acquisition decisions; (5) uncovers activity trends over time to forecast asset requirements; and (6) enables performance comparisons to broad, industry-specific benchmarks. We anticipate that Analytics will make a growing contribution to revenue, further differentiate and add value to our solutions, and help keep us at the forefront of the wireless asset management markets we serve.
 
We sell our solutions to both executive and division-level management. Typically, our initial system deployment serves as a basis for potential expansion across the customer’s organization. We work closely with customers to help maximize the utilization and benefits of our system and demonstrate the value of enterprise-wide deployments. Post-implementation, we consult with our customers to further extend and customize the benefits to the enterprise by delivering enhanced analytics capabilities.
 
We market and sell our solutions to a wide range of customers in the commercial and government sectors. Our customers operate in diverse markets, such as automotive manufacturing, heavy industry, retail and wholesale distribution, transportation, aviation, aerospace and defense, homeland security and vehicle rental.

Risks to Our Business
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, we generated revenues of $28.6 million, and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and the Raymond Corporation accounted for 19% and 10% of our revenues, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, we generated revenues of $34.0 million, and Avis Budget Group, Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for 21% and 16% of our revenues, respectively.
 
We are highly dependent upon sales of our system to a few customers. The loss of any of these key customers, or any material reduction in the amount of our products they purchase during a particular period, could materially and adversely affect our revenues for such period. Conversely, a material increase in the amount of our products purchased by a key customer (or customers) during a particular period could result in a significant increase in our revenues for such period, and such increased revenues may not recur in subsequent periods. Some of these key customers, as well as other customers of the Company, operate in markets that have suffered business downturns in the past few years or may so suffer in the future, particularly in light of the current global economic downturn, and any material adverse change in the financial condition of such customers could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to replace such revenue from existing or new customers, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.
 
We expect that many customers who utilize our solutions will do so as part of a large-scale deployment of these solutions across multiple or all divisions of their organizations. A customer’s decision to deploy our solutions throughout its organization will involve a significant commitment of its resources. Accordingly, initial implementations may precede any decision to deploy our solutions enterprise-wide. Throughout this sales cycle, we may spend considerable time and expense educating and providing information to prospective customers about the benefits of our solutions, and there can be no assurance that our solutions will be deployed on a wider scale by the customer.
 
The timing of the deployment of our solutions may vary widely and will depend on the specific deployment plan of each customer, the complexity of the customer’s organization and the difficulty of such deployment. Customers with substantial or complex organizations may deploy our solutions in large increments on a periodic basis. Accordingly, we may receive purchase orders for significant dollar amounts on an irregular and unpredictable basis. Because of our limited operating history and the nature of our business, we cannot predict the timing or size of these sales and deployment cycles. Long sales cycles, as well as our expectation that customers will tend to place large orders sporadically with short lead times, may cause our revenue and results of operations to vary significantly and unexpectedly from quarter to quarter. These variations could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Our ability to increase our revenues and generate net income will depend on a number of factors, including, for example, our ability to:
 
•             increase sales of products and services to our existing customers;
 
•             convert our initial programs into larger or enterprise-wide purchases by our customers;
 
•             increase market acceptance and penetration of our products; and
 
•             develop and commercialize new products and technologies.
 
Additional risks and uncertainties to which we are subject are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

REVENUES. Revenues decreased approximately $4.3 million, or 27.6%, to $11.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $15.5 million in the same period in 2012. The decrease in revenue is attributable to a decrease in total industrial and rental fleet management revenue of approximately $4.3 million to $6.8 million in 2013 from $11.1 million in 2012 due to a decrease in rental fleet management revenue of approximately $6.7 million from Avis Budget Group, Inc., representing revenue from the delivery of 20,000 units under SOW#1 in 2012 which was partially offset by an increase in industrial fleet management revenue of $2.4 million. Transportation asset management revenue increased approximately $0.1 million to $4.5 million in 2013 from $4.4 million in 2012.
 
Revenues from products decreased approximately $4.3 million, or 38.2%, to $7.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $11.3 million in the same period in 2012. Industrial and rental fleet management product revenue decreased approximately $4.4 million to $5.4 million in 2013 from $9.8 million in 2012. Transportation asset management product increased approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.6 million from $1.5 million in the same period in 2012. The decrease in product revenue resulted principally from a decrease in revenue from Avis Budget Group, Inc. of $7.0 million from the delivery of 20,000 units under SOW#1 in 2012 partially offset by increased product sales of $0.6 million to the Raymond Corporation, $0.8 million to Caterpillar Inc., $0.5 million to Linde Creighton Ltd. and $0.4 million to General Electric Co.
 
Revenues from services of $4.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 remained generally consistent with 2012 revenue. Industrial and rental fleet management service revenue of approximately $1.3 million in 2013 remained generally consistent with 2012 revenue. Transportation asset management service revenue of approximately $2.9 million in 2013 remained generally consistent with 2012 revenue.

COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues decreased approximately $1.5 million, or 21.7%, to $5.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $6.9 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease is principally attributable to a decrease in product revenue. Gross profit was $5.8 million in 2013 compared to $8.6 million in 2012. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased to 51.9% in 2013 from 55.5% in 2012.
 
Cost of products decreased approximately $1.5 million, or 28.4%, to $3.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $5.4 million in the same period in 2012. Gross profit for products was $3.1 million in 2013 compared to $5.9 million in 2012. The industrial and rental fleet management gross profit decreased approximately $3.2 million to $2.5 million in 2013 from $5.7 million in 2012. The transportation asset management gross profit increased approximately $0.4 million to $0.6 million in 2013 from $0.2 million in 2012. As a percentage of product revenues, gross profit decreased to 44.7% in 2013 from 52.2% in 2012. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of product revenue was due to a decrease in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage to 47.1% in 2013 from 58.6% in 2012, partially offset by an increase in the transportation asset management product revenue gross profit percentage to 36.5% in 2013 from 11.1% in 2012. The decrease in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage  was primarily due to a decrease in revenues generated from products that have a higher gross margin sold to a customer in 2012, and an increase in revenue generated from products sold to channel partners, which have a lower gross margin, in 2013. The increase in the transportation asset management product revenue gross profit percentage was primarily due to a reduction of expedited shipping costs incurred in 2012.
 
Cost of services of $1.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 remained generally consistent with cost of services in the same period in 2012. Gross profit for services of $2.7 million in 2013 remained generally consistent with the 2012 gross profit. The industrial and rental fleet management gross profit decreased approximately $0.1 million to $0.6 million in 2013 from $0.7 million in 2012. The transportation asset management gross profit increased approximately $0.1 to $2.1 million in 2013 from $2.0 million in 2012. As a percentage of service revenues, gross profit decreased to 63.8% in 2013 from 64.4% in 2012. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of service revenue was due to a decrease in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage to 47.4% in 2013 from 50.0% in 2012, partially offset by an increase in the transportation asset management gross profit percentage to 71.4% in 2013 from 71.2% in 2012. The decrease in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit margin was principally due to an increase in communication expenses from cellular overage charges incurred due to an increase in the amount of cellular data used in 2013.
 
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or 8.9%, to $5.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $5.5 million in the same period in 2012. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease of approximately $0.4 million in bonus and commission expense due to lower revenue. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 44.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 35.3% in the same period in 2012, primarily due to the decrease in revenues in 2013.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses of approximately $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 remained consistent with research and development expenses in the same period in 2012. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses increased to 9.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 7.1% in the same period in 2012, primarily due to the decrease in revenues in 2013.
 
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased by $44,000, or 37.9%, to $160,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $116,000 in the same period in 2012. This increase was attributable primarily to increased interest income from notes and lease receivables.
 
NET LOSS. Net loss was $0.08 million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2012. The increase in the net loss was due primarily to the reasons described above.

REVENUES. Revenues decreased approximately $5.4 million, or 15.8%, to $28.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $34.0 million in the same period in 2012. The decrease in revenue is attributable to a decrease in total industrial and rental fleet management revenue of approximately $5.3 million to $15.5 million in 2013 from $20.8 million in 2012 due to a decrease in rental fleet management revenue of approximately $6.2 million from Avis Budget Group, Inc., representing revenue from the delivery of 20,000 units under SOW#1 in 2012 which was partially offset by an increase in industrial fleet management revenue of $0.9 million. Transportation asset management revenue decreased approximately $0.1 million to $13.1 million in 2013 from $13.2 million in 2012.
 
Revenues from products decreased approximately $5.7 million, or 26.2%, to $16.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $21.7 million in the same period in 2012. Industrial and rental fleet management product revenue decreased by approximately $5.7 million to $11.5 million in 2013 from $17.2 million in 2012. Transportation asset management product revenue of approximately $4.5 in 2013 remained generally consistent with 2012 revenue. The decrease in product revenue resulted principally from a decrease in revenue from Avis Budget Group, Inc. of $7.0 million from the delivery of 20,000 units under SOW#1 in 2012, partially offset by increased product sales of $1.5 million to the Raymond Corporation, $0.8 million to Caterpillar Inc. and $0.5 million to Linde Creighton Ltd.
 
Revenues from services increased approximately $0.3 million, or 2.6%, to $12.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $12.2 million in the same period in 2012. Industrial and rental fleet management service revenue increased approximately $0.4 million to $4.0 million in 2013 from $3.6 million in 2012 principally due to an increase in revenue from Avis Budget Group, Inc. from services related to the units under SOW#1. Transportation asset management service revenue decreased approximately $0.1 million to $8.6 million in 2013 from $8.7 million 2012.

COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues decreased by $1.8 million, or 11.3%, to $14.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $15.9 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease is principally attributable to a decrease in product revenue in 2013. Gross profit was $14.5 million in 2013 compared to $18.1 million in 2012. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased to 50.7% in 2013 from 53.3% in 2012.
 
Cost of products decreased by $2.1 million, or 18.1%, to $9.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $11.7 million in the same period in 2012. Gross profit for products was $6.5 million in 2013 compared to $10.1 million in 2012. The decrease in gross profit was attributable to a $4.2 million decrease in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit to $5.2 million in 2013 from $9.4 million in 2012, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in the transportation asset management gross profit to $1.3 million in 2013 from $0.7 million in 2012. As a percentage of product revenues, gross profit decreased to 40.5% in 2013 from 46.4% in 2012. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of product revenue was due to a decrease in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage to 44.8% in 2013 from 54.5% in 2012, which  was primarily due to a decrease in revenues generated from products that have a higher gross margin sold to a customer in 2012, and an increase in revenue generated from products sold to channel partners, which have a lower gross margin, in 2013. This decrease in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit margin was partially offset by an increase in the transportation asset management product revenue gross profit percentage to 29.3% in 2013 from 15.3% in 2012, which was principally due to a reduction of expedited shipping costs incurred in 2012.
 
Cost of services increased by $0.3 million, or 7.4%, to $4.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $4.2 million in the same period in 2012. Gross profit for services of approximately $8.0 million in 2013 remained generally consistent with the 2012 gross profit. The industrial and rental fleet management gross profit of approximately $2.0 million in 2013 remained consistent with the 2012 gross profit. The transportation asset management gross profit of approximately $6.0 million in 2013 remained consistent with the 2012 gross profit of $6.1 million. As a percentage of service revenues, gross profit decreased to 63.9% in 2013 from 65.5% in 2012. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of service revenue was due to a decrease in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage to 50.2% in 2013 from 54.7% in 2012. The transportation asset management gross profit percentage of 70.2% in 2013 remained relatively consistent with the gross profit percentage of 69.9% in 2012. The decrease in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit margin was principally due to an increase in communication expenses from cellular overage charges incurred due to an increase in the amount of cellular data used in 2013.
 
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 3.8%, to $16.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $16.7 million in the same period in 2012. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in bonus and commission expense due to lower revenue. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 56.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 49.2% in the same period in 2012, primarily due to the decrease in revenues in 2013.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses of approximately $3.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 remained consistent with research and development expenses in the same period in 2012. A decrease in payroll-related and stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million due to a decrease in the number of employees was principally offset by an increase in new product development expenses of approximately $0.4 million, principally for the development of our next generation industrial fleet management and intermodal container products and enhancements to our satellite transportation product and customer interfaces. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses increased to 11.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 9.7% in the same period in 2012, primarily due to the decrease in revenues in 2013.
 
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased by $149,000, or 44.5%, to $484,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $335,000 in the same period in 2012. This increase was attributable primarily to increased interest income from notes and lease receivables.
 
NET LOSS. Net loss was $4.4 million, or $(0.37) per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to net loss of $1.5 million, or $(0.13) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2012. The increase in the net loss was due primarily to the reasons described above.

Capital Requirements
 
We believe that with the cash and investments on hand, we will have sufficient funds available to cover our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.
 
Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the length of the sales cycle, the rate of increase or decrease in our existing business base, the success, timing, and amount of investment required to bring new products to market, revenue growth or decline and potential acquisitions. Failure to generate positive cash flow from operations will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may determine in the future that we require additional funds to meet our long-term strategic objectives, including for the completion of potential acquisitions. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve significant restrictive covenants, and we cannot assure you that such financing will be extended on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6.1 million for the same period in 2012. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 reflects a net loss of $4.4 million and includes non-cash charges of $0.8 million for stock-based compensation and $1.6 million for depreciation and amortization expense. Changes in working capital items included:
 
proceeds of $0.7 million from the sale of NJ NOLs;
 
an increase in accounts receivable of $0.9 million;
 
an increase in finance receivables of $0.9 million;
 
an increase in deferred revenue of $1.0 million; and
 
an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.2 million, primarily due to the timing of payments to our vendors and accrued compensation.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.4 million for nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $2.6 million for the same period in 2012. The change from the same period in 2012 was primarily due to an increase in net maturities of investments of $1.9 million in 2013 from 2012.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million for the same period in 2012. The change from the same period in 2012 was primarily due to $0.2 million used for the repurchase of shares under our share repurchase program in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Historically, except for our line of credit borrowing of $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 (which was repaid in full in July 2010), our capital requirements have been funded primarily from the net proceeds from the issuance of our securities, including any issuances of our common stock upon the exercise of options. In addition, on August 22, 2011, we received approximately $4.6 million from Avis Budget Group from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and a warrant to purchase up to 600,000 shares of our common stock. The warrant is immediately exercisable with respect to 100,000 shares and will become exercisable for the remaining 500,000 shares upon execution of SOW#2 under the Master Agreement entered into by the Company and Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, a subsidiary of Avis Budget Group, Inc. As of September 30, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $13.6 million and working capital of $21.0 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $15.8 million and working capital of $19.9 million as of December 31, 2012.
 
On April 1, 2013, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company is subject to recently issued accounting standards, accounting guidance and disclosure requirements. For a description of these new accounting standards, see Note 23 (entitled “RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS”) of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates, which could affect our future results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to these risks through our regular operating and financing activities. As of September 30, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $13.6 million.
 
Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market funds, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2013, the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximated fair value. In a declining interest rate environment, as short-term investments mature, reinvestment occurs at less favorable market rates, negatively impacting future investment income. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions; however, our cash and cash equivalent balances with these institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor on a systematic basis the cash and cash equivalent balances in our operating accounts and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which we deposit funds fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date, we have experienced no loss of principal or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurance that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail or the financial and credit markets continue to deteriorate.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
a. Disclosure controls and procedures.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) related to the recording, processing, summarization and reporting of information in our reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our subsidiaries, is made known to our management, including these officers, by other of our employees, and that this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Our controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.
 
Based on their evaluation as of September 30, 2013, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective as of September 30, 2013 to reasonably ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
b. Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
 
We reviewed our internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2013. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is at times subject to various legal proceedings. As of November 14, 2013, the Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings.
 
Additional information on the Company’s commitments and contingencies can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
In addition to the other information set forth under the heading “Risks to Our Business” in Part 1, Item 2 of this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as such factors could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and future results. In the three months ended September 30, 2013, there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial, also may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.
 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer
 
On November 4, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value of up to $3,000,000 pursuant to a share repurchase program. The repurchases under the share repurchase program are made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and are funded from the Company’s working capital. The amount and timing of such repurchases is dependent upon the price and availability of shares, general market conditions and the availability of cash, as determined at the discretion of the Company’s management. All shares of common stock repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase program are held as treasury stock (until such time, if ever, that they are re-issued by the Company). The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, and the Company may discontinue or suspend the share repurchase program at any time.
 
The following table provides information regarding our common stock repurchases under our publicly announced share repurchase program and shares withheld for taxes due upon vesting of restricted stock for each month of the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013. As the table indicates, the Company did not make any share repurchases during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013.

In addition, on May 3, 2007, the Company previously had announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of up to $10,000,000 pursuant to a share repurchase program (the “2007 Repurchase Program”). The 2007 Repurchase Program was terminated by the Board of Directors in March 2012. The Company purchased approximately 1,075,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under the 2007 Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9,970,000, or an average cost of $9.27 per share. The repurchases were funded from the Company’s working capital, and the amount and timing of such repurchases depended upon the price and availability of shares, general market conditions and the availability of cash, as determined at the discretion of our management.
