EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our strategy is to grow profitably by increasing our penetration of the expanding small merchant marketplace for payment and Gift & Loyalty card based products. We find these merchants through our Independent Sales Organization ("ISO") and agent channels of distribution and intend to make additional acquisitions on an opportunistic basis in this fragmented segment of the industry.

OVERVIEW

We are a rapidly growing provider of credit and debit card-based payment processing services and Gift & Loyalty products to small merchants. As of March 31, 2008, we provided our services to numerous ISOs and thousands of merchants located across the United States. Our payment processing services enable our merchants to process traditional card-present, or swipe transactions, as well as card-not-present transactions. A traditional card-present transaction occurs whenever a cardholder physically presents a credit or debit card to a merchant at the point-of-sale. Card-not-present transactions occur whenever the customer does not physically present a payment card at the point-of-sale and may occur over the Internet or by mail, fax or telephone.

DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS

International Card Establishment, Inc. (the "Company") (formerly Summit World Ventures, Inc.) was incorporated on December 18, 1986 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate activity, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Prior to July 28, 2000, we were in the developmental stage and could be defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose was to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity, and we did not have any operations. On July 18, 2003, we acquired iNetEvents, Inc., a Nevada corporation and commenced operations. iNetEvents, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on February 3, 1999 and provided Internet support and supply software for real time event/convention information management.

On January 16, 2003, we entered into a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization with International Card Establishment, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its shareholders. International Card Establishment, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on July 26, 2002. As part of the acquisition, a reorganization in the form of a reverse merger, International Card Establishment, Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and there was a change of our control. Following the International Card Establishment, Inc. acquisition we changed our corporate name from iNetEvents, Inc. to International Card Establishment, Inc. and reverse split our outstanding shares of common stock on a one for two share basis.

Effective September 8, 2004, we entered into a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization with NEOS Merchant Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its shareholders. Effective September 8, 2004, NEOS Merchant Solutions, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary.

International Card Establishment, Inc. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, is a provider of diversified products and services to the electronic transaction processing industry, offering merchant accounts for the acceptance and processing of credit and debit cards, as well as a proprietary "smart card" based gift and loyalty program. The Company's Merchant Card Services division establishes "merchant accounts" for businesses that enable those businesses to accept credit cards, debit cards, and other forms of electronic payments from their customers; supplies the necessary card readers and other point-of-sale transaction systems; facilitates processing for the accounts; and, provides e-commerce solutions. Through its NEOS Subsidiary the Company also markets a proprietary "Smart Card"-based system that enables merchants to economically offer store-branded gift and loyalty cards - one of the fastest growing product categories in the industry.

As used in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms the "Company", "we", "us", "our" and similar terms refer to International Card Establishment, Inc. and, unless the context indicates otherwise its consolidated subsidiaries. The Companies subsidiaries include NEOS Merchant Services ("NEOS"), a Nevada corporation, which provides smart card loyalty programs in an integrated vertical system for its customers, as well as other electronic payment services (merchant services); International Card Establishment ("ICE"), which provides electronic payment services (merchant services); and INetEvents, Inc. ("INET"), a Nevada corporation, which has been dormant since 2005.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements, which we discuss under the heading "Results of Operations" following this section of our MD&A. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting estimates include the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets, which impacts operating expenses when we impair assets or accelerate their amortization or depreciation.

We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company estimates its accounts receivable risks and provides allowances for doubtful accounts accordingly. The Company believes that its credit risk for accounts receivable is limited because of its large number of customers and the relatively small account balances for most of its customers. Also, the Company's customers are dispersed across different business and geographic areas. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a periodic basis. The evaluation includes historical loss experience, length of time receivables are past due, adverse situations that may affect a customer's ability to repay and prevailing economic conditions. The Company makes adjustments to its allowance if the evaluation of allowance requirements differs from the actual aggregate reserve. This evaluation is inherently subjective and estimates may be revised as more information becomes available.

REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION

Substantially all of our revenues are generated from fees charged to merchants for card-based payment processing services. We typically charge these merchants a bundled rate, primarily based upon the merchant's monthly charge volume and risk profile. Our fees principally consist of discount fees, which are a percentage of the dollar amount of each credit or debit transaction. We charge all merchants higher discount rates for card-not-present transactions than for card-present transactions in order to compensate ourselves for the higher risk of underwriting these transactions. We derive the balance of our revenues from a variety of fixed transaction or service fees, including fees for monthly minimum charge volume requirements, statement fees, annual fees and fees for other miscellaneous services, such as handling chargebacks. We recognize discounts and other fees related to payment transactions at the time the merchants' transactions are processed. We recognize revenues derived from service fees at the time the service is performed. Related interchange and assessment costs are also recognized at that time.

We follow the requirements of EITF 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent", in determining our revenue reporting. Generally, where we have merchant portability, credit risk and ultimate responsibility for the merchant, revenues are reported at the time of sale on a gross basis equal to the full amount of the discount charged to the merchant. This amount includes interchange paid to card issuing banks and assessments paid to credit card associations pursuant to which such parties receive payments based primarily on processing volume for particular groups of merchants. Interchange fees are set by Visa and MasterCard and are based on transaction processing volume and are recognized at the time transactions are processed.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

Since 2005, we capitalize intangible assets such as the purchase of merchant and gift loyalty accounts from portfolio acquisitions (i.e. the right to receive future cash flows related to transactions of these applicable merchants) and amortize accounts at the time of attrition. The provisions of FASB Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), require the completion of an annual impairment test with any impairment recognized in current earnings.

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 were adopted January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued Staff Position No. 157-2 "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP SFAS 157-2"). FSP SFAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The provisions of FSP SFAS 157-2 are effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.

Net revenues decreased by $573,318 from $2,513,997 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1,940,679 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 because of the decrease in residuals due to attrition of both merchant and gift portfolios and reduced sales due to tighter controls on merchant processing.

The costs associated with the merchant account services decreased by approximately 26% or $427,965 primarily due to the decrease in residuals paid out due to attrition of both merchant and gift portfolios, a $184,000 reduction in costs associated with First Data Resources ("FDR") residuals due to attrition of the merchant credit card portfolio and reduced inventory costs due to reduced sales.

General and administrative costs decreased by approximately $335,000 from $1,023,933 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $689,008 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 the due primarily to the reduction of bad debt, decrease in amortization and elimination of depreciation, since our assets are fully depreciated.

                    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                    We are currently seeking to expand our merchant services offerings in bankcard
                    and gift and loyalty. In addition, we are investigating additional business
                    opportunities and potential acquisitions; accordingly we will require additional
                    capital to complete the expansion and to undertake any additional business
                    opportunities.

We have financed our operations during the year primarily through sales, the collection of accounts receivable, the use of our line of credit, and the use of cash on hand. As of March 31, 2008, we had total current liabilities of $1,363,682 compared to $1,668,570 as of December 31, 2007. The decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to a decrease in Accrued Expenses and paying down Accounts Payable.

Cash decreased 42% from $126,149 at December 31, 2007 to $73,006 at March 31, 2008 due to the paying down of accounts payable and debt.

As of March 31, 2008, our accounts receivable, net decreased to $7,978 compared to $27,059 at December 31, 2007. The relating allowance for doubtful accounts decreased from $225,425 at December 31, 2007 to $211,215 as of March 31, 2008 because of continued aggressive collection of old debt.

We had no equity issuances in the first quarter of 2008.
