Stock Plans
- -----------

  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.  The Company
did not grant any Stock Rights under the 1988 Stock Plan to any of its employees
during 1999.

  The 1995 Director Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 300,000
shares of Common Stock pursuant to non-statutory options that may be granted 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.  All 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.  On January
15, 1999, the Company granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock
under the 1995 Directors Stock Option Plan to each of the five then-current
directors of the Company.  On March 30, 1999, the four members of the Board of
Directors who at the time were directors or employees of IVI Checkmate Corp. or
its subsidiaries, including Messrs. Thomson and Whitton, rescinded all of those
stock options. No options were granted to the directors on January 15, 2000.

  No executive officer of the Company owned or exercised any stock options
during 1999.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

          On August 18, 1997, the Company and IVI entered into a Convertible
Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, as amended on October 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1998 (the "Note Agreement"), whereby the Company may from time to
time issue and sell to IVI (now known as IVI Checkmate Ltd.), and IVI agreed to
purchase, up to $2,500,000 aggregate principal amount

                                       5
<PAGE>

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, 1999), are secured by the Company's assets and are
subordinate to the Company's working capital line of credit. 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.

          In 1997, the Company issued Notes to IVI in the aggregate principal
amount of $1,500,000 and in 1998 issued an additional Note to IVI in the
principal amount of $650,000. All Notes mature in 2002. In July 1999, IVI
Checkmate Ltd. transferred the Notes to IVI Checkmate Inc. in exchange for
preferred stock of IVI Checkmate Inc. Neither IVI Checkmate Ltd. nor IVI
Checkmate Inc. advanced any funding to the Company under the Note Agreement in
1999.  Unpaid interest under the Notes totaled $118,525 at December 31, 1999.

          In 1999, IVI Checkmate Corp. provided NTN with cash advances totaling
$850,000 to fund the Company's working capital requirements.  The interest rate
payable on these cash advances is prime plus 2% per year, and the advances are
repayable on demand.  At December 31, 1999, the full $850,000 of cash advances
plus minimal interest remained outstanding.

          Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 20, 1999 among
the Company, IVI Checkmate Corp., IVI Checkmate Inc. and NTN Merger Corp., IVI
Checkmate Corp. will, if approved by the Company's stockholders, acquire all of
the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock that are not currently
owned by IVI Checkmate Inc. through the merger of NTN Merger Corp., a wholly
owned subsidiary of IVI Checkmate Inc., into the Company.  As a result, the
Company, which is currently an 82.0% owned subsidiary of IVI Checkmate Inc.,
would become a wholly owned subsidiary of IVI Checkmate Inc.  If the merger is
completed, IVI Checkmate Corp. will issue to the Company's stockholders (other
than IVI Checkmate Inc.) a number of shares of IVI Checkmate Corp. Common Stock
having a value equal to $.30 multiplied by the number of shares of Company
Common Stock owned by each such stockholder (i.e., $.30 worth of IVI Checkmate
Corp. Common Stock for each such share of Company Common Stock).  It is
anticipated that the transaction will be completed no later than June 2000.
