VendingData(TM) Corporation Announces Preliminary Year End Revenues LAS VEGAS, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VendingData(TM) Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: VNDC) , a manufacturer and distributor of products for the gaming industry that are intended to increase customers' security, productivity and profitability, today announced its preliminary revenues of its operations for the year ended December 31, 2003. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020325/LAM034LOGO ) 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.
