VendingData(TM) Corporation Announces Preliminary Year End Revenues 


LAS VEGAS, Feb. 19  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VendingData(TM) Corporation

Management expects that its full year of revenues for the year ended December
31, 2003 will be approximately $6.9 million, with approximately $600,000 being
recognized in the fourth quarter.  This compares to revenues of $3.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of approximately 97%.  The fourth
quarter revenue was influenced by the following factors: (1) the Company's focus
on the successful completion of the public offering in December 2003 absorbed
valuable resources, (2) the delay in the public offering by approximately four
months caused production delays, (3) the delay in receiving final regulatory
approval by the State of Washington for the Deck Checker(TM) until January 2004
caused deliveries to be delayed, and (4) seasonality of the fourthquarter,
which is typically weak due to scheduling and training issues during the holiday
season.  The Company will release its results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2003 on or about March 15, 2004.  The Company will issue an
earnings press release at that time and expects to schedule a conference call
with public access during the week of March 15, 2004.
