                              September 30, 1999


1.   Basis of Presentation

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 management's opinion, 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 Company's
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. Operating
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1999 or any other interim period.

In these consolidated financial statements, comparative amounts shown for 1998
have been restated to retroactively reflect the business combinations of Plourde
Computer Services, Inc. in September 1998 and Debitek Holdings Ltd. in December
1998, which have been accounted for as pooling-of-interests.

2.   Mergers and Acquisitions

Effective April 1, 1999, the Company purchased the assets of the Financial
Systems division of DataCard Corporation. These acquired assets consisted of
$3.5 million in accounts receivable, $2.6 million in inventories and $1.2
million in property and equipment. In consideration for these assets, the
Company issued approximately $7.3 million in convertible preferred stock (see
also Note 4). The results of operations of the Financial Systems division of
DataCard Corporation have been included in the Company's consolidated results
since the date of acquisition.

3.   Inventories

Inventories are summarized by class as follows:

4.   Preferred Stock

In April 1999, the Company issued 894,663 shares of Series D, par value $0.01,
preferred stock to DataCard Corporation in consideration for the assets of the
Financial Systems division of DataCard. Terms of the preferred stock includes
dividends, which will accrue annually at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum,
and a convertability clause that would provide for the conversion of preferred
stock into common stock on a one-for-one basis beginning on the third
anniversary of April 1, 1999 and continuing until the fifth anniversary of April
1, 1999. If the holder of the Series D preferred stock does not elect to convert
to common stock by the fifth anniversary of April 1, 1999, then, beginning on
the first day after the fifth anniversary of April 1, 1999 and continuing sixty
days thereafter, the Company must either (a) convert the Series D preferred
stock to common stock, on the basis of one (1) share of common stock for one (1)
share of Series D preferred stock and one (1) share of common stock for each
nine dollars ($9.00) of dividends accrued and unpaid through the date of
conversion or (b) redeem the principal amount of the Series D preferred stock
($9.00 per share) and all dividends accrued and unpaid through the date of
payment, in cash.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, cumulative preferred
dividends of $163,000 and $326,000, respectively, remained undeclared and
unpaid.

A number of stock options and convertible preferred stock that could potentially
dilute basic earnings per share in the future, were not included in the
computation of diluted EPS because they would have been anti-dilutive for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.

     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. The Company cautions that these
statements represent projections and estimates of future performance and involve
certain risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of certain factors including, without limitation, dependence 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; and other risk factors that
are contained in documents that the Company files with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.

transfer ("EFT"), check readers and professional services.

     EFT revenue grew 28% in the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared
to the same period in 1998, which resulted in growth of 14% in the first nine
months of 1999 over the same period in 1998. The increases in EFT revenues in
the quarter and year thus far are attributable to continued strong demands for
the Company's products, including new innovative point-of-sale solutions
featuring the e/N/-Touch 1000 interactive touch screen terminal and the Elite
780 RF hand-held wireless portable terminal. In addition, sales of Jigsaw
products, acquired in April 1999, have enabled the Company to expand into the
financial services market.

     Check reader sales decreased 48% and 58% in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1998. While
direct sales of check readers to retailers remained solid, sales to value-added
resellers continued to be less than anticipated. Furthermore, the Company has
experienced delays in its Banking Automation channel, as the banks have deferred
further installations until the new year as a precaution against potential Year
2000 issues.

     Professional services revenues decreased in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 by 4% and 9%, respectively, compared to the same periods in
1998. The decrease in 1999 revenues is the result of the completion in 1998 of
several maintenance agreements and the deferral by customers of several 1999
software development projects until the new year.

     In Canada, revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 declined
9% compared to revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998, due to
shipment delays by the manufacturer of the Company's new wireless terminal.
Consequently, the Company was unable to deliver these products to its customers
on a timely basis in the third quarter. However, these delayed shipments were
completed in October 1999.

     Cost of sales increased 19% in the three months ended September 30, 1999 to
$21.8 million from $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
The increase is a result of an increase in shipment of products, which did not
translate into a corresponding increase in revenues as a significant portion of
these sales were at discounted prices to major retailers. This factor, combined
with a $2.7 million charge in the second quarter of 1999 for the modification of
the Company's e/N/-Touch 1000 terminal, also resulted in an increase of cost of
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 by 8% despite a decrease in
sales of 5%.

     Selling, general and administrative expenditures for the third quarter of
1999 increased 3% to $7.2 million from $7.0 million in the third quarter of
1998. However, 1999 third quarter expenses were approximately 22% of sales
compared to 23% of sales in the third quarter of 1998. The improvement, as a
percentage of sales, reflects management's initiatives to streamline operations
to maximize operational efficiency and productivity. For nine months ended
September 30, 1999, expenses were approximately 19% higher compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. The primary reasons for the increase were the
addition of the IVI Checkmate Financial Systems division, acquired April 1999,
and severance costs related to reduction in the Company's workforce in the
second quarter of 1999.

     Gross research and development expense increased in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 by 13% and 6%, respectively, compared to the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase is a reflection of
the Company's efforts to develop new innovative products and to improve its
software capabilities. A summary of the Company's research and development
efforts is as follows:

     The Company had effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 of 30% and 11%, respectively, which were below the
statutory rate due to utilization of tax losses from previous years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary operating cash needs include the payment of salaries,
payment to suppliers, office rent and travel expenses, other general and
administrative expenses, as well as capital expenditures and research and
development. The Company has historically financed these expenditures, as well
as acquisitions, with cash flow from operations and issuances of equity
securities.

     Working capital at September 30, 1999 increased to $37.3 million, compared
to $36.5 million at June 30, 1999 and $36.0 million at December 31, 1998. At
September 30, 1999, the Company also had a total of $11 million available under
lines of credit for which there were no borrowings outstanding.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net cash of $239,000 was
generated through operating activities due primarily to a net reduction of non-
cash working capital, which offset profit margins that failed to cover operating
expenses.

     Net cash used in investing activities of $6.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 consisted primarily of purchases of equipment and
software development expenditures. At September 30, 1999, we did not have any
commitment for material capital expenditures in the remainder of the year.

     Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 consisted primarily of issuances of common stock
in connection with exercises of stock options.

     Cash at the Company's Canadian division, which is held in local currency
for normal operating needs, is subject to currency fluctuation. During the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, the Canadian dollar strengthened relative to
the U.S. dollar. Consequently, the translation of cash held by the Company's
Canadian division into U.S. dollar equivalence, generated an economic benefit of
$257,000.

     The Company believes its working capital position at September 30, 1999,
together with anticipated future cash flows from operations and the borrowings
available under its revolving credit lines, will be sufficient to meet cash
operating needs for the next 12 months.

Year 2000

     IVI Checkmate has developed a Year 2000 Readiness Plan. This plan addresses
three main areas: (1) the Company's hardware and software products; (2) third
party technology systems; and (3) internal operating systems (including
accounting, payables and invoicing operations). The Company believes the
taskforce it has created to oversee this process and report periodically to the
Company's Board of Directors, has appropriate plans in place to ensure a timely
Year 2000 readiness.

     Year 2000 efforts undertaken by the Company have not materially changed
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from the disclosures provided
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1998. At September 30, 1999, these efforts have been substantially, but not
entirely, completed. However, the Company will continue to monitor its overall
plan, as well as the consideration of contingency plans if new information not
previously known becomes available. While the Company anticipates continuity of
its business activities, that continuity will also be dependent upon the ability
of third parties with whom the Company relies on directly or indirectly to be
Year 2000 compliant.


Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk
          ------------------------------------------------------

     There has been no material change during the quarter ended September 30,
1999, from the disclosures about market risk provided in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
