                                  June 30, 1998


1. Basis of Presentation

On June 25, 1998, International Verifact Inc. ("IVI") and Checkmate Electronics,
Inc. ("Checkmate") completed their combination, which was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. Under the terms of the Combination Agreement, IVI
shareholders received, for each IVI common share, either one share of common
stock of the Company, or one exchangeable share of IVI which can be exchanged at
any time for a share of the Company's common stock in the future. Checkmate
shareholders received 1.2775 shares of the Company's common stock for each
Checkmate common share. These condensed consolidated financial statements have
been restated to effect such share conversions, and to reflect the historical
results of both companies for all periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements of International Verifact Inc. and Checkmate Electronics,
Inc., which are included in the Company's Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated
May 26, 1998. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1998 or any other interim period.

4. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 1997 the FASB issued Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income
("Statement 130") which establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
in financial statements. Statement 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1998. The Company adopted Statement No. 130 in 1998. Amounts
in prior condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to Statement 130.

The components of comprehensive income for the three months and six months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, are as follows:

In June 1997 the FASB also issued Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement 131") which establishes
standards for the way public business enterprises report information about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports issued to shareholders. Operating segments are components of
an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. Statement 131 also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas
and major customers. Statement 131 is effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt Statement 131
in the fourth quarter of 1998 and does not expect the effect of adoption to be
material to its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

         The following discussion contains forward-looking statements subject to
the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The words "may," "would," "could," "will," "expect," "estimate," "anticipate,"
"believe," "intends," "plans" and similar expressions and variations thereof are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Management cautions that these
statements represent projections and estimates of future performance and involve
certain risks and uncertainties. IVI Checkmate's actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of certain factors including, without limitation, dependence by IVI
Checkmate on limited suppliers and manufacturers of component parts of its
products; rapid and significant technological developments that could delay the
introduction of improvements in existing products or of new products; any
dependencies on any proprietary technologies (which may be independently
developed by competitors); dependence on a small number of large retail and bank
customers; potential fluctuation in financial results as a result of any
inability to make sales to large customers as well as the volume and timing of
bookings received during a quarter and variations in sales mix; competition from
existing companies as well as new market entrants; dependence on key personnel;
integration of the companies; and other risk factors discussed from time to time
in IVI Checkmate's SEC filings and other announcements.

         Net revenues increased 28% and 19% in the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1997. The
increase in net revenues was attributable to: (1) higher sales of check readers,
which are used to detect/prevent fraud and improve banking automation; (2)
significant sales of the recently introduced customer activated touch screen
terminal, the eN-Touch 1000; and (3) increasing revenues from professional
services division.

         Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues was 61% in the three
months and 62% in the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 66% in the
three months and 64% in the six months ended June 30, 1997. The reduction in
this percentage was the result of both changes in customer mix and product mix.
In 1997, a significant portion of sales was to a large U.S. retailer at low
margins. In 1998, the Company began selling its own proprietary point-of-sale
("POS") printers and was able to realize higher margins. Also in 1997, the
Company was a reseller of similar POS printers in 1997 at low margins.

         Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a percentage
of net revenues, were reduced to 23% in the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 compared to 31% in the three months and 28% in the six months ended June
30, 1997. The reduction in percentages was the result of the Company's
commitment to sell more effectively and to provide a wider range of end-to-end
solutions to its customers without a corresponding increase in selling costs. In
future quarters, the Company anticipates further reduction in the SG&A
percentage to reflect savings as a result of the closure of IVI's U.S.
headquarters and operations in Boulder, Colorado.

         Product development expenditures include research and development
expense and capitalized software development costs and consist primarily of
labor. A summary of product development efforts is as follows:

</TABLE>


         Research and development expense for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998 were consistent with expenditures in the same periods in 1997. The
significant amount of product development expenditures incurred each quarter
resulted from the Company's continuing efforts to remain at the forefront of
payment automation technology. IVI Checkmate announced several new products in
the first six months of 1998, and currently intends to introduce several
additional products during the remainder of 1998.

<PAGE>


         The Company recorded in the three months ended June 30, 1998 a one-time
charge to earnings in the amount of $9.9 million to reflect costs associated
with the combination of IVI and Checkmate. The costs consisted of professional
fees, costs pertaining to the immediate closure of IVI's U.S. headquarters and
operations in Boulder, Colorado, a reserve against inventory to reflect the
rationalization of the Company's manufacturing process and product lines, and
other incidental costs.

         The effective tax rate was 12% and 54% in three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 1998 was
due primarily to a combination of the loss in the quarter, combined with
recognition of IVI's tax losses of previous years. It is anticipated that the
effective tax rate for the remainder of 1998 will remain at this level.

         As a result of the above factors, in particular the costs of the
combination, the Company recorded a net loss for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998 of $7.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, compared with a
loss of $509,000 in the three months and a profit of $445,000 in the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Basic loss per share was $0.45 and $0.39 in the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to a loss of $0.03 in the three months
and a profit of $0.03 in the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter and six months increased
4.4% and 3.6%, respectively, from 1997 to 1998 due to exercises of stock options
and resale of treasury shares held at December 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $22,000 in the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and $40,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1997. The net
cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 1998 was the
result of the net loss reported for the period, increased by depreciation and
amortization, by a 35.1% increase in accounts receivable, an 11.5% decrease in
inventory and a 51.7% increase in accounts payable. The net cash used in
operating activities in 1997 was primarily the result of the net loss reported
for the period, increased by depreciation and amortization which was partially
offset by a corresponding increase in non-cash working capital, primarily in
accounts receivable and inventory. The Company experiences normal fluctuations
in its accounts receivable balance, including days outstanding, due to a variety
of factors, including the Company's overall sales performance when compared to
prior periods, the timing of shipments to its customers and individual customer
negotiated terms of sale. Inventory levels held by the Company are also
dependent upon a variety of factors, including anticipated inventory
requirements to fulfill current and future customer orders in a timely manner,
individual customer negotiated contracts of sale and the availability of key
components used in the manufacturing process. Increases in these accounts during
1998 and 1997 have been caused by anticipated increases in sales volumes and by
new product introductions. The Company anticipates that fluctuations in these
accounts will continue in the future.

         Net cash used in investing activities was $4.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and $3.5 million for the same period in 1997.
Purchases of property and equipment and additions to deferred development costs
and other noncurrent assets were $4.0 million and $4.5 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These uses of net cash were offset
by net proceeds from the sale of investments of $87,000 in 1998 and $1.0 million
in 1997, and by a translation loss of $520,000 in 1998 as a result of cash held
by the Company's Canadian operations during periods of a weakening Canadian
dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

         Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.0 million in the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30,
1997. Cash continues to be provided through the issuance of capital stock for
stock option exercises in 1998 and 1997, and resale of treasury shares in March
1998. Cash was also provided in 1997 as the Company's Latin American joint
venture which received funding from Ingenico S.A., the other joint venture
partner.

         The Company's working capital position was $35.3 million at June 30,
1998, compared to $40.0 million at December 31, 1997. The Company had no
commitments for material capital expenditures as of June 30, 1998. The primary
reason for the decline in working capital is attributable to the costs of the
combination incurred by the Company in the second quarter of 1998. However, the
Company believes that its working capital position at June 30, 1998, together
with anticipated future cash flows from operations and the borrowing available
under its revolving credit agreement, are sufficient to meet the Company's
operating needs, including possible increases in accounts receivable and
inventories, along with planned capital expenditures and research and
development activities for at least the next twelve to eighteen months.

         The Company's operating results have fluctuated on a quarterly basis in
the past and may vary significantly in future periods due to a variety of
factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the timing of orders
from and shipments to major customers, the timing of new product introductions
by the Company and its competitors, variations in the Company's product mix and
component costs and competitive pricing pressures. Due primarily to the above
factors, the results of any particular quarter may not be indicative of the
results for the full year.

Impact of Year 2000

         IVI Checkmate's business and relationships with its customers depend
significantly on a number of computer software programs, internal operating
systems and connections to other networks, and the failure of any of these
programs, systems or networks to successfully address the Year 2000 data
rollover problem could have a material adverse effect on IVI Checkmate's
business, financial condition and results of operations. Many installed computer
software and network processing systems currently accept only two-digit entries
in the date code field and may need to be upgraded or replaced in order to
accurately record and process information and transactions on and after January
1, 2000. IVI Checkmate believes that it has completed substantially all
modifications of its affected software programs and has minimal additional work
required to finalize these modifications. However, IVI Checkmate is not certain
as to whether the computer software and business systems of its customers and
suppliers are Year 2000 compliant. There can be no assurance that the failure or
delay of IVI Checkmate's customers and suppliers in successfully addressing the
Year 2000 issue or the costs involved in such process will not have a material
adverse effect on IVI Checkmate's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Risks Associated with the Combination between International Verifact Inc. and
Checkmate Electronics, Inc.

         The completed transaction has resulted in the combination of IVI and
Checkmate, which have previously operated independently. The consolidation of
functions, the integration of departments, systems and procedures, and the
relocation of staff present significant management challenges. There can be no
assurance that such actions will be successfully accomplished as rapidly as
currently expected. Moreover, although one of the primary purposes of the
transaction is to realize direct cost savings and other operating efficiencies,
there can be no assurance of the extent to which any such cost savings and
efficiencies will be achieved. Failure to successfully integrate the operations
of IVI and Checkmate in a timely manner and to realize cost savings and other
operating efficiencies could have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company. In addition, such
integration may require the licensing or other transfer of proprietary or
currently licensed rights as well as the assumption of certain obligations by
and between the various parties. While management does not believe that, in the
circumstances, these requirements will give rise to tax consequences, it is
possible that they may give rise to tax consequences both immediately and on an
ongoing basis.
