Steven Blad, CEO of VendingData(TM) Corporation commented, "VendingData has
completed its transition from a development company to a commercial enterprise,
with operations in the United States and China.  Since VendingData meets the
more stringent qualifications of the American Stock Exchange, we believe that
it is time to move from the OTC Bulletin Board to a national stock exchange. 
The exchange's specialist system should minimize trading volatility as our
business growth gains momentum."

and 21.6 million shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis.

The Company's approval is contingent upon the Company being in compliance with

such standards.
