REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Participants and Administrator of the

I.D. Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits under the I.D. Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

I.D. SYSTEMS, INC. 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014 and 2013 

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

 

The following description of the I.D. Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for the Plan’s provisions.

 

General

 

The Plan was originally established in 1998 for the purpose of providing retirement benefits for eligible employees of I.D. System, Inc. (the “Company”). The Plan was restated on August 23, 2010. The Plan is a defined contribution plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Effective January 1, 2013, Massachusetts Life Insurance Company (“Mass Mutual”) became the Plan’s third party administrator after acquiring the retirement plans group business of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.

 

Contributions

 

Participants in the Plan may elect to defer and contribute from 1% to 100% of their annual eligible compensation, as defined by the Plan, not to exceed dollar limitations that are set by law. Participants age 50 or older may elect to defer and contribute additional amounts to the Plan up to a maximum that is set by law. Participants may also contribute (rollover) amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or qualified defined contribution plans.

 

Each year, the Company may contribute to the Plan a discretionary matching contribution. Matching contributions are subject to vesting requirements. For the plan years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not declare any discretionary matching contribution.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Each participant account is credited with the participant’s share of any employer contributions, any contributions made by the participant, and the participants share of any investment earnings and increases in the value of investments. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator and the Trustee in administering the Plan are charged against the accounts of all participants unless the Company elects to pay such expenses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

 

Vesting

 

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Participants vest in the Plan’s discretionary match portion of their accounts as follows:

 

Years of Vesting
Service		Percentage Vested
Less than 1 years			0	%
1 but less than 2 years			20	%
2 but less than 3 years			40	%
3 but less than 4 years			60	%
4 but less than 5 years			80	%
5 or more years			100	%

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)

 

Notes Receivable from Participants

 

The Plan permits participants to borrow from their vested account balance. A participant is permitted to borrow up to 50% of his or her vested account balance, not to exceed $50,000. The minimum loan a participant may take is $1,000. All loans must be repaid in level payments on at least a quarterly basis over a five-year period unless the loan is for the purchase of a principal residence in which case the loan may be repaid within a reasonable period of time determined at the time the loan is made. The loans are secured by the balance of the participant’s vested account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with market rates.

 

Payment of Benefits

 

A participant’s vested account balance is payable upon retirement, disability, death or other termination of employment. Distributions are payable in a lump sum or in installments over a period not exceeding the participant’s life expectancy. However, if the value of a participant’s vested account is $5,000 or less, it is only payable in a lump sum.

 

A participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her vested account during employment if he or she has reached age 59-1/2. A participant may withdraw his or her own contributions (but not earnings on those contributions) during employment for certain hardship reasons.

 

Upon the death of an active participating employee, such employee’s beneficiary is entitled to the total amount of the employee’s account without penalty plus an allocation of any Company contribution relating to the year in which the death occurred.

 

Separated participants with vested account balances exceeding $5,000 may delay the timing of the receipt of benefits subject to minimum distribution rules required by law. Participants with a balance of $5,000 or less may be paid out without the participant’s consent in a single-sum payment or by direct rollover to an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or other eligible retirement plan as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of employment termination.

  

Forfeited Accounts

 

If a participant terminates employment with the Company at a time when the participant does not have a fully vested account, the nonvested employer contributions and actual earnings thereon are forfeited. Forfeitures may be used to reduce future discretionary employer matching contributions or cover future administrative expenses. Forfeitures in the amount of $200 and $1,753 were used during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, to pay for the Plan’s expenses. Forfeitures available at December 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $9,125 and $1,453, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)

 

Plan Termination

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and/or to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants would become fully vested with all rights to any amounts in their respective accounts.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes there in, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

Investments are participant directed and reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

 

Notes Receivable from Participants

 

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent notes receivable are recorded as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.

 

Benefit Payments

 

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Subsequent Events

 

The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through June 29, 2015, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

 

Investments at December 31, 2014 and 2013 consist of mutual funds, self-directed brokerage accounts, common/ collective trusts and the Company’s common stock that is traded in the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “IDSY”.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the Codification are as follows:

 

Level 1

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

 

Level 2

Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

 

	·	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
	·	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
	·	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for asset or liability;
	·	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Common stocks, corporate bonds, and US government securities: Valued at closing price reported on active market on which the securities are traded.

 

Mutual funds: Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-ended mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (“NAV”) and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.

 

Common/ Collective trusts: Valued at the NAV of units of a collective trust. The NAV, as provided by the trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

 

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for the Plan’s investments at fair value as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

		Investments at Fair Value as of December 31, 2014
		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
I.D. Systems, Inc. common stock		$	244,046			$	-			$	-			$	244,046
Mutual Funds and assets held directly - US equity			6,144,320				-				-				6,144,320
Common collective trusts			-				569,424				-				569,424
Total investments at fair value		$	6,388,366			$	569,424			$	-			$	6,957,790

 

		Investments at Fair Value as of December 31, 2013
		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
I.D. Systems, Inc. common stock		$	203,518			$	-			$	-			$	203,518
Mutual Funds and assets held directly - US equity			5,680,429				-				-				5,680,429
Common collective trusts			-				359,271				-				359,271
Total investments at fair value		$	5,883,947			$	359,271			$	-			$	6,243,218

  

The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.

 

The Plan’s investments net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value are as follows:

 

		Year Ended December 31,
		2014				2013
I.D. Systems, Inc. common stock		$	33,392			$	(14,812	)
Self directed brokerage accounts			87,968				91,057
Mutual Funds			333,855				957,138
Net appreciation in fair value of investments		$	455,215			$	1,033,383

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Plan allows for transactions with certain parties who may perform services or have fiduciary responsibilities to the Plan, including the Company. Certain Plan investments are shares of various mutual funds that are owned and managed by Mass Mutual, who has been designated as the custodian and recordkeeper. The Plan invests in common stock of the Company and issues loans to participants. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

NOTE 6 - TAX STATUS

 

The Plan is based on a “volume submitter” plan document. The sponsor of the volume submitter document has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dated January 31, 2006, stating that the form of the Plan is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and therefore, the related trust is tax exempt. In accordance with Revenue Procedure 2005-16, the Company has chosen to rely on the IRS determination letter issued to the sponsor of the volume submitter document as evidence that the form of the Plan is tax-qualified. The Plan is also required to be operated in conformity with the Code to maintain its tax-qualified status. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan, which has been amended since the date of the determination letter, continues to be tax-qualified in both form and operation.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

 

NOTE 7 - RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of the investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

Less: Prior year participant contribution receivable - employee			(17,169	)			(14,628	)
Participant contributions per the financial statements		$	914,057			$	652,215

 

Note 9 - Compliance Requirements

 

As of the report date June 29, 2015, management is yet to complete the annual nondiscrimination tests called Actual Deferral Percentage and Actual Contribution Percentage (“ADP and ACP Tests”) that ensure contributions made by rank-and-file employees (non-highly compensated employees) are proportional to the contributions made by highly compensated employees. Management believes that the Plan is in compliance with such tests as of the report date June 29, 2015.
