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.
