PORT WASHINGTON, NEW YORK, September 30, 1996  ----  SANDATA, 
INC. (NASDAQ:SAND) today announced that it has entered into a 
letter of intent to raise, on a "best efforts--all or none"
basis, $1,500,000 pursuant to a private offering of an aggregate 
of 300,000 shares of Common Stock and five year warrants for the 
purchase of 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price 
of $7.00 per share.  Neither the shares of Common Stock, the 
warrants nor the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants 
will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 
and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent 
registration or an applicable exemption from registration 
requirements.  However, the letter of intent contemplates that 
purchasers of such Units will be granted certain registration 
rights.  In connection with such registration, it is contemplated 
that an additional 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock 
will be registered for certain security holders of the Company. 
Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery by the Company 
of the letter of intent, certain assignees of the placement agent 
acquired 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a 
purchase price of $3.00 per share.  The Company is in the process 
of preparing the offering document and negotiating a placement 
agreement.  No assurance can be given that the private offering 
will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all.
