     (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts)

                                 June 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 our 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 our audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. Operating results for
the three and six months ended June 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 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). These assets have been reflected in the Company's financial
position as at June 30, 1999.

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.


5.  Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis as required by
Statement No. 128 is calculated as follows:

</TABLE>

Due to our net loss for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
the amounts reported for basic and diluted in that period are the same. Stock
options in the amount of 3,363,000 could potentially dilute basic earnings per
share in the future and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS
because they would have been anti-dilutive for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998.

8.  Subsequent Event

On July 20, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with National
Transaction Network, Inc. ("NTN") that will potentially result in the
acquisition by the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary IVI Checkmate
Inc., of all of the shares of common stock of NTN that it does not presently
own. The Company, through IVI Checkmate Inc., currently owns 2,726,440, or
approximately 82.0%, of NTN's 3,325,468 shares of common stock outstanding. The
agreement provides for the exchange of $0.30 worth of common stock of IVI
Checkmate Corp. for each share of NTN common stock. It is anticipated that this
transaction should be completed in the next one to three months, subject to
approval by regulatory authorities and NTN's stockholders.

     Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 grew 11% to $28.6 million
from the $25.7 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 1998.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased 14% to $43.7 million
from the $50.7million recorded in the same period one year ago. Following is a
discussion of the change in revenue in electronic funds transfer ("EFT"), check
readers and professional services.

     EFT revenue grew 52% in the three months ended June 30, 1999 over the same
period in 1998, which resulted in growth of 5% in the first six months of 1999
over the same period in 1998. In 1999, the Company's revenues were affected by
eN-Touch 1000 production delays while technical changes were being implemented.
However, IVI Checkmate was able to offset some of the revenue loss from these
production delays with revenues generated through its Financial Systems
division, which the Company acquired from DataCard Corporation in April 1999.

     Check reader sales decreased 69% and 64% in the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999, respectively, compared with the same periods in 1998. In the
first quarter of 1999, the Company indicated that sales to value-added resellers
of these products were less than anticipated due to excess inventory carried by
these resellers, and that resellers would begin re-ordering when they have
deployed their stock. This overstocking position carried over into the second
quarter and affected revenues to a lesser degree. A decline in check reader
shipments also resulted from timing of sales of check readers to financial
institutions to combat fraud at the teller window. In 1998, most of these
shipments occurred in the second quarter of 1998. However, corresponding sales
in 1999 have not yet occurred as financial institutions are awaiting shipments
of a new generation check reader which recently went into production.

     Professional services revenues decreased in the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 by 18% and 12%, respectively, over the same periods in 1998.
Revenue from professional services consists of recurring transactions such as
hardware and software maintenance and help desk facilities, and non-recurring
activities such as software development. The decrease in 1999 revenues resulted
from the completion in 1998 of several maintenance agreements and fewer software
development projects contracted for in 1999 by customers as a precaution against
potential Year 2000 issues.

     Cost of sales increased 42% in the three months ended June 30, 1999 to
$22.2 million from $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This
significant increase was primarily a result of an 11% increase in sales during
this period, and a charge that was recorded to implement technical changes to
the Company's eN-Touch 1000 terminal. It is also because of this charge that
cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased by 2% over the
same period in 1998, despite the fact that corresponding sales over this period
fell 14%. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 were 78% and 72%, respectively, compared with 61% and
61%, respectively, for the same periods in 1998. The increase in cost of sales
as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the charge related to the en-
Touch 1000 terminal, a large sale to a major U.S. retailer at discounted prices
and the lower selling prices on product sales by the recently acquired Financial
Systems division.

     Selling, general and administrative expenditures increased 42% in the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $8.5 million from $6.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. A significant portion of this increase was a result
of the addition of Financial Systems, which was acquired in April 1999.
Furthermore, during the second quarter of 1999, as a result of acquiring several
business in 1998 and 1999, management has begun to streamline the inefficiencies
in our operating infrastructure, which resulted in severance costs of $400,000
to terminated employees. These factors were also primary reasons why the
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were 27% higher than expenses in
the same period one year ago.

          Research and development expense decreased 22% in the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to $1.0 million from $1.3 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1998. Gross research and development expenditures for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 were consistent with expenditures in the same periods
one year ago. However, there has been a shift in these expenditures toward
software development, which is in keeping with our business strategy of
improving our software capabilities. Consequently, a higher proportion of these
expenditures were capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A summary of our research and development efforts is as follows:

</TABLE>

          Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 were 30% and 12%, respectively, which were below the statutory
rate due to utilization of tax losses from previous years.

          As a result of the above factors, we recorded a net loss for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999 of $3.2 million and $5.5 million,
respectively, compared to a net loss of $7.2 million and $6.2 million for the
similar periods ended June 30, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Our 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. We have historically financed these expenditures, as well as
acquisitions, with cash flow from operations and issuances of equity securities.

          We had working capital of $36.5 million (including $8.1 million in
cash and cash equivalents) at June 30, 1999 as compared to working capital of
$36.0 million (including $9.8 million in cash and cash equivalents) at December
31, 1998. At June 30, 1999, we also had a total of $11 million available under
lines of credit under which there were no borrowings outstanding.

          During the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash of $2.1 million
was generated through operating activities due primarily to a net reduction of
non-cash working capital, which more than offset profit margins that failed to
cover operating expenses.

          Net cash used in investing activities of $5.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 consisted primarily of purchases of equipment and
software development expenditures. At June 30, 1999, we did not have any
commitment for material capital expenditures in the remainder of the year.

                                       11
<PAGE>

          Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 consisted primarily of issuances of capital
stock in connection with exercises of stock options.

          Cash at our Canadian division, which is held in local currency for
normal operating needs, is subject to currency fluctuation. During the six
months ended June 30, 1999, the Canadian dollar strengthened against the U.S.
dollar. Consequently, the translation of cash held by our Canadian division into
U.S. dollar equivalence, generated an economic benefit of $278,000.

          We believe that our working capital position at June 30, 1999,
together with anticipated future cash flows from operations and the borrowings
available under our revolving credit lines, will be sufficient to meet our cash
operating needs for the remainder of the year.

Year 2000

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

          Our Year 2000 efforts have not materially changed during the six
months ended June 30, 1999, from the disclosures provided in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, and are ongoing. Our overall
plan, as well as the consideration of contingency plans, will continue to evolve
as new information becomes available. While we anticipate continuity of our
business activities, that continuity will be dependent upon our ability, as well
as the ability of third parties with whom we rely 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 June 30,
1999, from the disclosures about market risk provided in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
          -----------------

On or about April 30, 1999, we filed a lawsuit against Samsung Display Devices,
Inc. and Samsung Display Devices Co., Ltd. ("Samsung") in the State Court of
Fulton Country, Georgia, Civil Action No. 99-vs-15287J. The lawsuit seeks
damages in excess of $5 million for Samsung's failure to deliver in a timely
and/or working fashion components essential to our e/N/-Touch 1000(R) product.
Samsung's failure to deliver working components and its failure to deliver the
components in the time-frame promised has caused us substantial damages,
including lost profits, which we intend to recover through this action.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
         -----------------------------------------

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.

The issuance of the Series D preferred stock was exempt from registration under
Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended because there
were no more than 35 purchasers of such securities and IVI Checkmate Corp.
reasonably believed that, immediately prior to making any sale, all purchasers
were either accredited investors or, either alone or with his, her or its
purchaser representative, had such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the prospective investment.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
         ---------------------------------------------------

The Company held its annual meeting of stockholders on May 20, 1999. There were
a total of 13,919,012 shares of Common Stock of the Company and Exchangeable
Shares of IVI Checkmate Ltd. outstanding and eligible to be voted at the annual
meeting, as of the record date of April 1, 1999.

The following directors were elected at and continued in office after the
meeting:
