A. On June 25, 1998, pursuant to a Combination Agreement dated January

acquired all of the outstanding common shares of International Verifact Inc., a
Canadian corporation ("IVI"), and Checkmate Electronics, Inc., a Georgia
corporation ("Checkmate"). As provided in the Combination Agreement, IVI
shareholders were entitled to receive, for each IVI common share, either one
share of common stock of IVI Checkmate or one exchangeable share of IVI which
can be exchanged for a share of IVI Checkmate common stock in the future, and
Checkmate shareholders were entitled to receive 1.2775 shares of IVI Checkmate
common stock for each share of Checkmate common stock. In addition, all
outstanding rights (including options) to purchase IVI common shares and
Checkmate common stock will be converted into rights to purchase shares of IVI
Checkmate common stock on a one-for-one ratio and 1.2775-for-one ratio,
respectively. The IVI Checkmate common stock trades on the Nasdaq National
Market and The Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols "CMIV" and "IVC,"
respectively, while the IVI exchangeable shares trade on The Toronto Stock
Exchange under the symbol "IVI." IVI's name has been changed to IVI Checkmate
Ltd., and Checkmate's name has been changed to IVI Checkmate Inc.
Through its subsidiaries, IVI Checkmate provides innovative automation

B. Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), IVI Checkmate Corp. is a "successor issuer" to
both IVI and Checkmate, each of which have classes of securities registered
