PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

JUNE 9, 2006

_________________________________

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of I.D. Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at the offices of the Company’s counsel, Lowenstein Sandler P.C., located at 1251 Avenue of the Americas, 18^th Floor, New York, New York 10020, on Friday, June 9, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time), and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

On or about May 15, 2006, the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, including financial statements, this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy card are being mailed to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 26, 2006.

Purpose of the Annual Meeting

The purposes of the Annual Meeting are (i) to elect five directors; (ii) to ratify the appointment of Eisner LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2006; (iii) to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Corporation (“Common Stock”) from 15,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares; and (iv) to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. In addition to the foregoing, there will be a report on the progress of the Company and an opportunity for questions of general interest to the stockholders.

Record Date and Outstanding Shares

The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on April 26, 2006 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. As of the Record Date, the Company had issued and outstanding 11,073,719 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock comprises all of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting stock.

At least ten (10) days before the Annual Meeting, the Company will make a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting open to the examination of any stockholder of the Company for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting. The list will be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the Company’s offices at One University Plaza, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601, and will be made available to stockholders present at the Annual Meeting.

Voting at the Annual Meeting

Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. Cumulative voting by stockholders is not permitted.

The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” (as defined below) are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

If you hold your shares of Common Stock through a broker, bank or other representative, generally the broker, bank or representative may only vote the Common Stock that it holds for you in accordance with your instructions. However, if the broker, bank or representative has not timely received your instructions, it may vote on certain matters for which it has discretionary voting authority. A “broker non-vote” on a matter occurs when a broker, bank or your representative may not vote on a particular matter because it does not have discretionary voting authority and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

For the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast is required. Since the number of candidates is equal to the number of vacancies, receipt of any votes in favor of any candidate will ensure that that candidate is elected. If no voting direction is indicated on the proxy cards, the shares will be considered votes for the nominees. In accordance with Delaware law, stockholders entitled to vote for the election of directors may withhold authority to vote for all nominees for directors or may withhold authority to vote for certain nominees for directors. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are not considered for the purpose of the election of directors.

For the ratification of the appointment of Eisner LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on such proposal in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" for such proposal are not considered to have been voted on the proposal.

For the approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 15,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Record Date at the Annual Meeting is required. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" for such proposal, because they are not affirmative votes, will have the same effect as votes against such proposal.

Holders of Common Stock will not have any rights of appraisal or similar dissenter’s rights with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Voting of Proxies

You may vote your shares by signing the enclosed proxy or voting instruction card and returning it in a timely manner. Please mark the appropriate boxes on the card and sign, date and return the card promptly. A postage-paid return envelope is enclosed for your convenience.

Unless the Company receives specific instructions to the contrary or unless such proxy is revoked, shares represented by each properly executed proxy will be voted: (i) FOR the election of each of the Company’s nominees as a director; (ii) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Eisner LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006; (iii) FOR the approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 15,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares; and (iv) with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, at the discretion of the proxy holders. The Company does not presently anticipate that any other business will be presented for action at the Annual Meeting.

Revocation of Proxies

Any person signing a proxy in the form accompanying this proxy statement has the power to revoke it prior to the Annual Meeting or at the Annual Meeting prior to the vote pursuant to the proxy. A proxy may be revoked by any of the following methods:

•

by writing a letter delivered to Ned Mavrommatis, Secretary of the Company, stating that the proxy is revoked;

•

by submitting another proxy with a later date; or

•

by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Please note, however, that if a stockholder’s shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the Annual Meeting, the stockholder must bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other nominee confirming that stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the shares.

Solicitation

The cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy material and of reimbursing brokers, nominees and fiduciaries for the out-of-pocket and clerical expenses of transmitting copies of the proxy material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons will be borne by the Company. The Company does not intend to solicit proxies otherwise than by mail, but certain officers and regular employees of the Company, without additional compensation, may use their personal efforts, by telephone or otherwise, to obtain proxies.

Execution of the accompanying proxy card will not affect a stockholder’s right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the right to revoke it by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at any time before the proxy is voted or by attendance at the Annual Meeting and electing to vote in person.

PROPOSAL NO. 1.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Five (5) directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. If any nominee is unable to serve, which the Board of Directors has no reason to expect, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the balance of those named and, if they deem it advisable, for a substitute nominee. The five (5) nominees for election as directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified are Jeffrey M. Jagid, Kenneth S.

The Nominating Committee did not hold any meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Actions were taken during such year by the unanimous written consent of the members of the Nominating Committee.

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Nominating Committee, which is publicly available on the Company’s website at www.id-systems.com. The Nominating Committee’s charter authorizes the committee to develop certain procedures and guidelines addressing certain nominating matters, such as procedures for considering nominations made by stockholders, minimum qualifications for nominees and identification and evaluation of candidates for the Board of Directors, and the Nominating Committee has adopted procedures addressing the foregoing.

Procedures for Considering Nominations Made by Stockholders. The Nominating Committee has adopted guidelines regarding procedures for nominations to be submitted by stockholders and other third-parties, other than candidates who have previously served on the Board of Directors or who are recommended by the Board of Directors. These guidelines provide that a nomination must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a notice as described above. The guidelines require a nomination notice to set forth as to each person whom the proponent proposes to nominate for election as a director: (a) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected), and (b) information that will enable the Nominating Committee to determine whether the candidate or candidates satisfy the criteria established pursuant to the charter for director candidates.

Qualifications. The Nominating Committee has adopted guidelines describing the minimum qualifications for nominees and the qualities or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. Each nominee:

must satisfy any legal requirements applicable to members of the Board of Directors;

must have business or professional experience that will enable such nominee to provide useful input to the Board of Directors in its deliberations;

must have a reputation, in one or more of the communities serviced by the Company and its affiliates, for honesty and ethical conduct;

must have a working knowledge of the types of responsibilities expected of members of the board of directors of a public company; and

must have experience, either as a member of the board of directors of another public or private company or in another capacity, that demonstrates the nominee’s capacity to serve in a fiduciary position.

Identification and Evaluation of Candidates for the Board. Candidates to serve on the Board of Directors will be identified from all available sources, including recommendations made by stockholders. The Nominating Committee has a policy that there will be no differences in the manner in which the Nominating Committee evaluates nominees recommended by stockholders and nominees recommended by the Committee or management, except that no specific process shall be mandated with respect to the nomination of any individuals who have previously served on the Board of Directors. The evaluation process for individuals other than existing members of the Board of Directors will include:

a review of the information provided to the Nominating Committee by the proponent;

a review of reference letters from at least two sources determined to be reputable by the Nominating Committee; and

a personal interview of the candidate, together with a review of such other information as the Nominating Committee shall determine to be relevant.

Third Party Recommendations. In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Nominating Committee did not receive any nominations from any stockholder or group of stockholders which owned more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock for at least one year.

Process for Sending Communications to the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has established a procedure that enables stockholders to communicate in writing with members of the Board of Directors. Any such communication should be addressed to the Company’s Secretary and should be sent to such individual c/o One University Plaza, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601. Any such communication must state, in a conspicuous manner, that it is intended for distribution to the entire Board of Directors. Under the procedures established by the Board of Directors, upon the Secretary’s receipt of such a communication, the Company’s Secretary will send a copy of such communication to each member of the Board of Directors, identifying it as a communication received from a stockholder. Absent unusual circumstances, at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors held more than two days after such communication has been distributed, the Board of Directors will consider the substance of any such communication.

Code of Ethics

The Company has a code of ethics that applies to its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller and other persons who perform similar functions. A copy of the Company’s code of ethics can be found on its website at www.id-systems.com. The Company’s code of ethics is intended to be a codification of the business and ethical principles that guide it, and to deter wrongdoing, to promote honest and ethical conduct, to avoid conflicts of interest, and to foster full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures, compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations and accountability for adherence to this code.

The Securities and Exchange Commission requires disclosure of the potential realizable value or present value of each grant. The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of compounded stock price appreciation are mandated by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent the Company’s estimate or projection of future Common Stock prices. The disclosure assumes the options will be held for the full ten-year term prior to exercise. Such options may be exercised prior to the end of such ten-year term. The actual value, if any, an executive officer may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. There can be no assurance that the stock price will appreciate at the rates shown in the table.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Burstein and Monaco and Ms. Yormark. None of the executive officers of the Company serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as members of the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Compensation Committee’s Report of Compensation Committee

The following report of the Compensation Committee is not to be deemed “soliciting material” or deemed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or subject to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, except to the extent specifically requested by the Company or incorporated by reference in documents otherwise filed.

Overview

The function of the Compensation Committee is to advise the Board of Directors regarding overall compensation policies and recommend specific compensation for the Company’s senior executives. The Compensation Committee is responsible for providing guidance to the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer regarding broad compensation issues. To assist in these functions, the Compensation Committee has retained an independent compensation consultant to provide data, analysis, and market perspective to supplement and validate its decisions. During 2005, the Compensation Committee was composed of Messrs. Burstein and Monaco and Ms. Yormark.

The Company applies a consistent philosophy to compensation for all employees, including senior management. This philosophy is based on the premises that the success of the Company results from the efforts of each employee and that a cooperative, team-oriented environment is an essential part of the Company’s culture. The Company also believes in the importance of rewarding employees for its successes. Particular emphasis is placed on broad employee equity participation through the use of equity compensation and annual cash bonuses linked to achievement of the Company’s performance goals and the employees’ personal objectives.

Executive Officer Compensation

The Company’s compensation package consists of three major components: base compensation, performance bonuses and equity compensation. Together these elements comprise total compensation value. The total compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers is influenced significantly by the need to attract management employees with a high level of expertise and to motivate and retain key executives for the long-term success of the Company and its stockholders. The Compensation Committee establishes annual base salary levels for executives based on competitive data, level of experience, position, responsibility and individual and Company performance. The Company has sought to align base compensation levels comparable to its competitors and other companies in similar stages of development. Cash bonuses are paid to executive officers based upon achievement of annually set Company goals.

The Company also believes that equity compensation is an important long-term incentive for its executive officers and employees and that its equity compensation program has been effective in aligning officer and employee interests with that of the Company and its stockholders. The Company uses equity compensation to attract key executive talent and awards are generally part of employment packages for key management positions. The Company reviews its equity compensation plans annually, and employees may also be eligible for annual awards thereunder. During 2005, the Company granted options to purchase up to 617,000 shares of Common Stock to officers and employees of the Company of which options to purchase up to 247,000 shares were granted to executive officers of the Company (including options to purchase up to 60,000 shares granted to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as discussed below).

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

The Compensation Committee recommends base salary levels and annual cash bonuses for the Company’s senior management for approval by the Board of Directors. In 2005, Jeffrey M. Jagid, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, had a base salary of $226,500, which was also his base salary in 2004. Based upon the Compensation Committee’s assessment of Mr. Jagid’s performance against previously established Company goals and personal performance objectives, Mr. Jagid was awarded a performance bonus of $67,950 and his base salary was increased to $245,000, effective January 1, 2006. During 2005, the Company also granted options to purchase up to 60,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Jagid.

Directors’ Compensation

The Company reimburses its directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with their activities on the Company’s behalf. Non-employee directors also receive $2,500 per board meeting, $250 per telephonic board meeting, $5,000 per year for serving on the Audit Committee and $1,000 per year for serving on the Compensation Committee.

Non-employee directors are entitled to participate in the Company’s 1999 Director Option Plan. A total of 600,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under such plan. The plan provides for the automatic grant of option to purchase 15,000 shares to each non-employee director at the time he or she is first elected to the Board of Directors and an automatic grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares on the first day of each fiscal quarter, if on such date he or she has served on the Board of Directors for at least six months. Each option grant under the plan has a term of 10 years and vests on a cumulative monthly basis over a four-year period. The exercise price of all options equals the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, each of the Company’s non-employee directors received options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock on each of January 3, 2005, April 1, 2005, July 1, 2005 and October 3, 2005 at a per share exercise price of $16.87, $11.06, $15.55 and $19.80, respectively.

Employee directors are entitled to participate in the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan. A total of 2,812,500 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the plan. The plan provides for grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards. Options can be granted under the plan on terms and at prices as determined by the Board of Directors, or the compensation committee, except that the exercise price of incentive options will not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Common Stock, the per share exercise price will not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value, determined on the date of grant, of the shares covered by incentive stock options granted under the plan that become exercisable by a grantee for the first time in any calendar year is subject to a $100,000 limit. Restricted stock awards can be granted under the plan, with such shares subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more conditions relating to completion of service by the participant, or achievement of performance goals or such other objectives, as established and determined by the Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee. At the time a grant of a restricted stock award is made, the Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, shall establish a period of time applicable to the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of such restricted stock award. Each grant of Restricted Shares may be subject to a different Restricted Period.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans.

The following table provides information about the Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options under the Company’s 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan, 1999 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Director Option Plan as of December 31, 2005. These plans were the Company’s only equity compensation plans in existence as of December 31, 2005. The 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan terminated in accordance with its terms as of July 8, 2005, and no additional awards were, or may be, granted thereunder after such date.

PROPOSAL NO. 3.

AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE

OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AGGREGATE NUMBER OF SHARES OF

AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK

General

On April 26, 2006, the Board of Directors voted to propose and recommend approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 15,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares (the “Common Stock Amendment”) and directed that the Common Stock Amendment be submitted to the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company presently authorizes the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock Amendment would increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to 50,000,000 shares. There are no preemptive rights with respect to the Common Stock, and the additional authorized shares of Common Stock would have the identical powers and rights as the shares now authorized.

Proposed Amendment

If the Common Stock Amendment is approved by the stockholders of the Company, the text of the paragraph (a) of the Fourth Article of the Certificate of Incorporation would read in its entirety as follows:

“The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation has the authority to issue is 55,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”), and (b) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”).”

General Effect of Proposed Amendment and Reasons for Approval

Of the 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, 11,064,519 shares were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2006. At that date, the Company had also reserved for issuance an aggregate of 3,382,754 additional shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company’s equity compensation plans, consisting of:

outstanding options to purchase 525,000 shares under the Company’s 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan, of which options covering 525,000 shares were exercisable as of March 31, 2006;

outstanding options to purchase 1,904,561 shares under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan, of which options covering 888,281 shares were exercisable as of March 31, 2006;

outstanding options to purchase 289,508 shares under the Company’s 1999 Director Option Plan, of which options covering 176,492 shares were exercisable as of March 31, 2006; and

an aggregate of 663,685 shares available for future awards after March 31, 2006 under the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the 1999 Director Option Plan.

The 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan terminated in accordance with its terms as of July 8, 2005, and no additional awards were, or may be, granted thereunder after such date.

The Board of Directors believes that the Common Stock Amendment is advisable in order to have additional shares of Common Stock available for potential acquisitions, to maintain the Company’s financing and capital-raising flexibility, to have shares available for use for employee benefit plans and for other corporate purposes.

As of the date of this proxy statement, there are no present agreements or arrangements for the issuance of any of the additional shares of Common Stock that would be authorized by the Common Stock Amendment.

Adoption of the Common Stock Amendment would enable the Board of Directors from time to time to issue additional shares of Common Stock for such purposes and such consideration as the Board of Directors may approve without further approval of the Company’s stockholders, except as may be required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq National Market or any national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are at the time listed. The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is not intended to prevent or impede a change in control of the Company. Further the Company is not aware of any current effort to acquire control of the Company. However, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company and may discourage bids for the Common Stock at a premium over the prevailing market price. In addition, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock could also have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity and voting power of existing holders of Common Stock.

Effectiveness of Proposed Amendment

If the Common Stock Amendment is approved by the stockholders, it will become effective upon the Company’s executing, acknowledging and filing a Certificate of Amendment as required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Vote Required and Dissenters’and Appraisal Rights

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Record Date is required to approve the Common Stock Amendment. Under Delaware law, stockholders will not have any dissenter’s or appraisal rights in connection with the Common Stock Amendment.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENT (ITEM 3 OF THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD) OF THE COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 15,000,000 TO 50,000,000 SHARES.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file statements on Form 3, Form 4 and Form 5 of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments to these forms furnished to the Company, all parties subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) filed all such required reports during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

STOCKHOLDERS’ PROPOSALS FOR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholder proposals to be presented at the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting, must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices, One University Plaza, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601, addressed to the Secretary, on or before January __, 2007. If, however, the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date of the Annual Meeting, the deadline is a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail its proxy materials for the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Such stockholder proposals must comply with the Company’s bylaws and the requirements of Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act.

Rule 14a-4 of the Exchange Act governs the Company’s use of its discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to a stockholder proposal that is not addressed in the proxy statement. With respect to the Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if the Company is not provided notice of a stockholder proposal prior to March __, 2007, the Company will be permitted to use its discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors is not informed of any matters, other than those stated above, that may be brought before the meeting. The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy or their substitutes will vote with respect to any such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
