On September 13, 2002 the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Gary
R. Allanson, and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Edwin S.
Tharp submitted on a voluntary basis sworn statements pursuant to SEC Order

     Statement Under Oath of Principal Executive Officer Regarding Facts and
                 Circumstances Relating to Exchange Act Filings
                 ----------------------------------------------

I, Gary R. Allanson, state and attest that:

      (1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
          reports of International Dispensing Corporation, and except as
          corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

      o     No covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact
            as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
            of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the
            date on which it was filed); and

      o     No covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make
            the statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances
            under which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the
            period covered by such report (or in the case of a report on Form
            8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was
            filed).

      (2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the independent
          members of the Company's Board of Directors.

      (3)   In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
            before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

            o     Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
                  2001 of International Dispensing Corporation;

            o     All reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
                  definitive proxy materials of International Dispensing
                  Corporation filed with the Commission subsequent to the filing
                  of the Form 10-K identified above; and

            o     Any amendments to any of the foregoing.
