                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

                              September 30, 1999


1. The accompanying financial statements and notes do not include all of the
   disclosures made in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
   1998 which should be read in conjunction with these statements. In the
   opinion of the Company, the financial statements include all adjustments
   (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
   fair presentation of the quarterly results.

2. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
   September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
   expected for the full year.

3. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
   Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," and has restated all periods
   presented to conform with the new presentation. Basic net income (loss) per
   common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
   outstanding during each period. In determining the denominator for dilutive
   income (loss) per common share, no shares resulting from the assumed exercise
   of options using the treasury stock method or resulting from the conversion
   of the convertible subordinated notes payable to stockholder are added to the
   denominator because the inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive to the
   net income (loss) for each of the periods presented. Accordingly, diluted
   income (loss) per common share is equal to basic income (loss) per common
   share and is not separately disclosed.

4. For the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company made
   inventory purchases from IVI Checkmate Corp. ("IVI Checkmate"), its parent
   company, totaling approximately $152,000 and $260,000, respectively. Accrued
   interest payable for the Company's Convertible Subordinated Notes Payable to
   IVI Checkmate totaled $189,184 at September 30, 1999.

5. The Company accounts for certain software development costs in accordance
   with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the
   Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed". It is
   the Company's policy to capitalize costs relating to the development of its
   products once technological feasibility has been achieved until the products
   are available for general release to customers, provided that the
   recoverability of such costs is reasonably assured through expected sales
   revenue less related selling expenses. Upon availability of products for
   general release to customers, all related capitalized development costs are
   amortized over a suitable period based on the products' estimated economic
   life. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company capitalized
   software development costs of approximately $42,000 for eN-Concert Enterprise
   (Mainsail) software development, thereby increasing total software
   development costs, net of amortization, to approximately $492,000 at
   September 30, 1999.

6. On July 20, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with IVI Checkmate
   Corp. that will potentially result in the acquisition by IVI Checkmate Corp.,
   through its wholly owned subsidiary IVI Checkmate Inc., of all of the shares
   of the Company's common stock that IVI Checkmate Inc. does not presently own.
   IVI Checkmate Inc. currently owns 2,726,440, or approximately 82.0%, of the
   Company'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 the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 1999,
   IVI Checkmate Corp. anticipates completion of this transaction in the fourth
   quarter of the current fiscal year or the first quarter of the next fiscal
   year, subject to approvals from regulatory authorities and the Company's
   stockholders.

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

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. The
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. We caution that these statements
represent projections and estimates of future performance and involve certain
risks and uncertainties. Our 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 of our 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 customers; potential
fluctuation in financial results as a result of any inability to make sales to
our 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 we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Results of Operations

     Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 declined 10% to $1,207,257
compared to $1,337,025 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. Revenue for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 declined 7% to $3,747,816 compared to
$4,046,508 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decline in revenues
for both the quarter and nine months ended was the result of reduced product
demands from a significant customer, following continuous large shipments in
prior years. In 1999, shipments in the third quarter and nine months to this
significant customer declined by 59% and 34%, respectively, compared to
shipments made in the same periods in 1998. The Company was able to partially
offset this decline with increasing customer demand for its Year 2000 software
development services, which increased professional service revenues by 35% and
9% for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.

     Gross margins as a percentage of revenue were 50.6% and 42.6% for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, compared to
33.3% and 39.0% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
respectively. The significant improvements in margins for the quarter and nine
months were primarily due to a shift in mix between hardware and software
revenues. Lower margin hardware revenue accounted for approximately 42% and 48%
of total revenue for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999,
respectively, compared to approximately 62% and 55% for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

     Research and development expenses, net of capitalized development costs,
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 were consistent with expenditures
recorded for the same period in 1998. Net expenditures for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 declined 17% from the same period in 1998, primarily due to
expenditures in 1998 for the development of a Windows NT software platform,
which was subsequently halted in the third quarter of 1998.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 44%
and 45% in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively,
from similar expenses in the same periods one year ago. The decreases were
primarily due to (i) decreases in compensation and fringe benefit expenses due
to a reduction in the workforce, and (ii) a reduction of selling and trade show
expenses as the Company benefited from joint sales effort with IVI Checkmate
Inc., the Company's parent.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company is continually unable to generate sufficient revenues from
operations to be self-sustaining. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
the Company consumed net cash of approximately $833,000 of which approximately
$554,000 was used for development costs and purchases of property and equipment,
with the remainder used in operating activities. As the Company is unable to
obtain a working capital line of credit with its bank or any other financial
institution, these activities were financed primarily through additional funds
borrowed from the Company's parent, IVI Checkmate Inc. During the first nine
months of 1999, a total of $850,000 was borrowed from IVI Checkmate Inc.
Additional borrowings may be likely as the Company does not have sufficient
resources to fund operating requirements for the remainder of the year.

Year 2000

     The Company has developed a Year 2000 Readiness Plan that addresses three
main areas: (1) the Company's software products; (2) third party technology
systems; and (3) internal operating systems (including accounting, payables and
invoicing operations). The Company believes it has appropriate plans in place to
ensure a timely Year 2000 readiness.

     The latest versions of the Company's software products were designed to be
"Year 2000 Compliant." The Company defines "Year 2000 Compliant" as the software
product's ability to accurately process date and time data (including
calculating, comparing, and sequencing) from, into, and between the years 1999
and 2000 and later, including calculating date and time data for leap years. In
addition, the software product, when used in combination with other software,
will accurately process date and time data if such other software properly
exchanges date and time data with it.

     While the Company's Mainsail software product was designed to be Year 2000
compliant, several customer operating systems that are used to compile the
product at the customer locations were not currently compliant. While the
Company successfully ported its software product onto several Year 2000
compliant operating system platforms of customers, the Company's continued
business activities will be dependent on the ability of its customers to ensure
their operating systems are Year 2000 compliant. The inability of its customers
to be Year 2000 compliant may have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.

     The Company also uses certain computer software programs in its internal
operations, including applications used in product development, financial and
business systems, and various administrative functions. The Company's efforts,
which consist of assurances received from manufacturers of such systems, or
software utility programs to update affected systems, are substantially
complete.

     Based on its review to date, management believes all material systems will
be compliant by the Year 2000 and the cost to address the issues will not be
material and will consist primarily of internal labor. The Company has not
prepared a contingency plan as no information has come forth that would require
such a plan to be formed. However, the Company will continue to assess the need
for such a plan based on new information that may arise. The Company does not
believe any Year 2000 issues relating to internal systems will have a material
adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
However, the Company cannot currently assess the cost of remedying problems
which may result from the Year 2000 issues of others. Further, serious
deficiencies which have not been currently identified or fully understood may
arise in the future and may have a material adverse impact on business,
financial condition, and results of operations. (Please refer to Item 7 -
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.)

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 5. Other Information
        -----------------

     IVI Checkmate's acquisition for the remaining common shares outstanding of
National Transactions Network, Inc., its 82%-owned subsidiary, that it does not
currently own has been delayed as a result of regulatory reviews and approvals,
which are taking longer than initially anticipated. The Company does not expect
to complete this transaction until the fourth quarter of this fiscal year or the
first quarter of the next fiscal year.
