  The Company currently has one employee stock ownership plan and one director
stock option plan, the 1988 Stock Plan and the 1995 Director Stock Option Plan,
respectively.  The 1988 Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock
options to officers and other employees of the Company and any present or future
subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, "Related Companies") and the grant of
(i) options which do not qualify as incentive stock options, (ii) awards of
stock in the Company and (iii) opportunities to make direct purchases of stock
in the Company (collectively, the "Stock Rights") to directors, officers,
employees and consultants of the Company and Related Companies.  The 1988 Stock
Plan provides for the issuance of up to 800,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the grant of Stock Rights.  The terms of such Stock Rights, including the
number of shares subject to each Stock Right, when the Stock Right becomes
exercisable, the exercise or purchase price of the Stock Right, the duration of
the Stock Right and the time, manner and form of payment upon exercise of a
Stock Right, are generally determined by the Board of Directors.  As of December

an average exercise price of approximately $.41 per share were outstanding, held
by 35 current and former employees, and non-incentive stock options to purchase

Plan.

  The 1995 Director Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of non-statutory
options to directors of the Company.  Each director who was a member of the
Board of Directors on October 26, 1995, was automatically granted an option to
purchase 15,000 shares of the Common Stock.  Each director who is first elected
to the Board after October 26, 1995, will automatically be granted, on the date
such person first becomes a member of the Board, an option to purchase 5,000
shares of Common Stock.  In addition, each director who has served continuously
as a director for at least six months prior to January 15th of each year shall
be automatically granted, on January 15th of each year, an option to purchase
5,000 shares of the Common Stock.  The 1995 Director Stock Option Plan provides
for the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the grant
of non-statutory stock options.  Such options vest on the date of the grant.
Other terms of such options, including exercise or purchase price of the
options, the duration of the options and the time, manner and form of payment
upon exercise of such options, are generally determined by the Board of
Directors. As of December 31, 1998, options to purchase 110,000 shares of Common
Stock at an average exercise price of approximately $.42 per share were
outstanding, held by 10 current and former directors pursuant to grants under

(1)  Except as otherwise noted below, the Company believes that each beneficial
     owner has sole voting and investment power with respect to the number of
     shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by such beneficial
     owner.  Information with respect to beneficial stock ownership is based
     upon information furnished by such beneficial owner.
(2)  Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, shares of
     Common Stock which an individual or group has a right to acquire within 60
     days of April 7, 1999, pursuant to the exercise of presently exercisable or
     outstanding options are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of
     computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group but are not
     deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage
     ownership of any other person shown in the table.
(3)  IVI Checkmate Ltd. ("IVI"), which is the record owner of the shares shown,
     is a wholly-owned subsidiary of IVI Checkmate Corp. ("IVIC"). Consequently,
     IVIC is considered to beneficially own the shares held by IVI Checkmate
     Ltd. Pursuant to a Convertible Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, dated
     August 18, 1997, as amended on October 31, 1997, IVI has the right to
     acquire, through the conversion of the outstanding indebtedness,
     approximately 7,710,136 shares of the Company's Common Stock based on the
     fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on April 26, 1999. See
     "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." IVI currently has no
     plans to convert the outstanding debt. Messrs. Lewis, Thomson and Whitton
     are directors and/or executive officers of IVIC and/or IVI Checkmate Ltd.
(4)  Represents shares subject to options exercisable at April 7, 1999, or
     within 60 days thereafter.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

  On August 18, 1997, the Company entered into a Convertible Subordinated Note
Purchase Agreement, as amended on October 31, 1997 (the "Note Agreement"), with
IVI whereby the Company may from time to time issue and sell to IVI, and IVI
agrees to purchase, up to $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's
Convertible Subordinated Notes (the "Notes"). The Notes have a five-year term,
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate plus 2% (9.75% at
December 31, 1998) and are secured by the Company's assets. The Notes are
convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at any time in accordance
with the terms of the Note Agreement; however, the conversion price per share
shall be equal to no less than the fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock as determined in the Note Agreement. Additionally, the Notes are subject
to certain registration rights if the Company determines to register additional
shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Interest
payments on the Notes are deferred until maturity.

  On September 19, 1997 and November 24, 1997, the Company issued Notes to IVI
in the principal amounts of $400,000 and $1,100,000, respectively. Both Notes
mature in 2002. During 1998, IVIC advanced funding to the Company under the Note
Agreement in the amount of $650,000. Accrued interest under the Notes totaled
$106,248 at December 31, 1998.
