            On March 25, 2003, Tidel Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") issued a
press release, set forth as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report, announcing that
it has been notified by the Nasdaq Listing  Qualifications Panel of its decision
to delist the Company's  common stock from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market  effective
with the open of  business  on March 26,  2003.  Based on current  market  maker
activity and other current information, the Company believes it will continue to
have a  market  for its  stock,  which  would  trade on the  National  Quotation
Bureau's Pink Sheets,  and will seek to arrange for one or more market makers to
quote its common stock on the Pink Sheets quotation service.

            For additional  information,  reference is made to the press release
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
