NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Catuity Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. General and administrative - variable stock compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 has been restated to properly reflect a credit of $1,369,314 and a credit of $214,923 respectively versus the credit of $623,042 and expense of $153,456 that was originally reported in the Company's Form 10-Q. The incorrect expense was determined and corrected in the Company's Form 10-Q for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The effect of the adjustment was to increase net profit by $746,272 (or $.11 per share) and $368,379 (or $.05 per share) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000. The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. 6 7 CATUITY INC.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On May 17, 2001, the judge in the Federal Court of Australia issued his judgment in the patent infringement lawsuit that Welcome Real Time (WRT), a French company and competitor to Catuity, had filed against Catuity in July 2000 in Australia related to the Transcard system and Catuity system. The judge ruled that the WRT patent was valid and that Catuity infringed on the patent in Australia. Catuity and its attorneys continue to believe that the Catuity software does not infringe on the WRT patent and have filed an appeal of the ruling. On July 24, 2001, the court ordered Catuity to refrain from infringing on the patent in Australia and to deliver any infringing physical devices in its possession in Australia to its attorneys by October 17, 2001 related to the Transcard system and Catuity system. Catuity and its Transcard customers had previously decided to terminate the Transcard system trial operations which utilize the infringing devices. As a result, this order will not impact Catuity's on-going operations. The judge ordered that WRT was entitled to damages suffered or, at its option, a measure of profitability made by Catuity of its operations in Australia. Catuity will provide, by September 17, 2001, a summary of Transcard's results of operations in Australia. The judge also ruled that Catuity pay certain of WRT's legal costs to date. 8 9 CATUITY INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) In the three month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded approximately $500,000 of non-recurring legal costs associated with the WRT lawsuit, potential damages arising from the lawsuit, and estimated costs of the Company's appeal. The Company has provided for its best estimate of all remaining costs associated with the patent infringement lawsuit as of June 30, 2001. 9 10 CATUITY INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. GENERAL Catuity develops, licenses and supports customer loyalty software that enables retailers and credit card issuing banks to establish and administer customer incentive and loyalty programs that are completely customizable to meet their unique needs. The Catuity system functions in both the internet (e-commerce) and in-store environments. In the first six months of 2001, the Company's U.S. operations were established and actively supporting its U.S. and international activities. In comparison, during the first six months of 2000, the Company's U.S. operations were in the early stages of becoming established. As a result, costs in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 increased over those of 2000. This was anticipated and planned for by the Company. The loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 was $2,130,000 as compared to a profit of $606,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, a change of $2,736,000. The primary reasons for this difference are as follows: - The change of approximately $1,700,000 in non-cash expense from variable stock compensation, due to an increase in the Company's share price during the three month period ended June 30, 2001. - Approximately $500,000 of expense relating to costs incurred, or provided for, in the WRT lawsuit. - The fully established U.S. operations in 2001 versus 2000 that resulted in increased costs of approximately $450,000. Each of the above items is discussed further in the sections that follow. For further information regarding the Company's market, product and future prospects, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. REVENUE Revenue in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 declined $58,000 from 2000. In the second quarter of 2000, significant effort was underway on modification work related to the Company's contract with Visa. Revenue in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 increased to $309,000 from $254,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2000. In 2001, approximately $109,000 of revenue was related to software modification activities for U.S. customers, while an additional $171,000 was related to service revenues for installation, training and maintenance efforts on behalf of U.S. customers. During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, approximately 10 11 CATUITY INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (CONTINUED) $197,000 of revenue was from software modification activities and $24,000 was from service revenues for installation and training efforts on behalf of U.S. customers. Australian based service revenue, decreased to $29,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 from $33,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2000. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Product development expenses consist of the costs associated with the Company's software development team in Sydney, Australia. For the three month period ended June 30, costs increased 35% to $304,000 in 2001 from $226,000 in 2000. The principal source of the increase relates to grant revenue from the Australian government that was received in 2000 but not received in the same period in 2001. These grant revenues reduced product development expense in 2000. For the six month period ended June 30, costs increased 7% to $552,000 in 2001 from $517,000 in 2000. The principal reason for the increase relates to the lack of receipt of grant revenue in the six month period ended June 30, 2001. Product development costs, exclusive of grant revenues, were approximately the same between the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 2001. CUSTOMER IMPLEMENTATION AND SUPPORT Customer implementation and support expenses consist of the costs associated with the Company's customer implementation and support staff and facilities located in Arlington, Virginia. For the three month period ended June 30, costs increased from $46,000 in 2000 to $200,000 in 2001. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company's U.S. activities were primarily concentrated on sales and marketing efforts, and establishing its headquarters, while the customer implementation and support staff and facilities were still in the process of becoming established. In the second quarter of 2001, there was increased implementation services activity with customers, which is reflected in the increase in service revenue in the period. For the six month period ended June 30, costs increased 387% from $94,000 in 2000 to $458,000 in 2001. The principal reasons for the six month increase are consistent with the three month period increase. 11 12 CATUITY INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (CONTINUED) SALES AND MARKETING For the three month period ended June 30, sales and marketing costs increased 22% from $430,000 in 2000 to $524,000 in 2001. Sales and marketing costs relate primarily to U.S. based activities. As a result, the increase was primarily related to growth in the U.S. sales and marketing staff. Sales and marketing expenses increased 33% from $828,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2000 to $1,104,000 in 2001. The principal reason for the increase for the six month period increase are consistent with the three month period increase. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses include costs related to executive, financial and administrative personnel, outside professional services, patents and intellectual property defense including court actions, facilities and other general corporate overhead. Expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 were $1,001,000 compared to $310,000 in the same period in 2000. The increase of $691,000 (223%) relates primarily to two causes. The Company's U.S. Headquarters was in full operation during the second quarter of 2001, while it was still in the process of being established in the second quarter of 2000. In addition, outside professional services expenses also increased in the second quarter of 2001 over 2000 due to approximately $500,000 of non-recurring legal costs associated with the Company's patent infringement lawsuit. The Company has provided for its best estimate of all remaining costs associated with the patent infringement lawsuit as of June 30, 2001. For the six month period ended June 30, general and administrative costs increased from $681,000 in 2000 to $1,502,000 in 2001, a 121% increase. The principal reasons for the six month increase are consistent with the three month period increase. STOCK COMPENSATION Stock compensation is a non-cash expense/(credit) that results from a non-recourse loan awarded prior to 1998 to an executive in order to purchase stock. The non-recourse loan is treated as a variable award and variable accounting has been adopted. The expense/(credit) recorded each period is dependent on movements in the Company's price per share. For the three month period ended June 30, 2001, an expense of $340,000 was recorded due to upward movement in the Company's stock price since March 31, 2001. In the same period in 2000, a credit of $1,369,000 was recorded of which approximately $398,000 was related to a credit associated with variable stock option awards that have since become fixed, while approximately $972,000 related to the non-recourse loan award. 12 13 CATUITY INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (CONTINUED) For the six month period ended June 30, 2001 a credit of $496,000 was recorded due to downward movement in the Company's stock price since December 31, 2000. In the same period in 2000, a credit of $215,000 was recorded. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) Interest income increased by $25,000, from $50,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 to $75,000 in 2001. The increase in interest income is primarily attributable to higher cash balances invested in interest bearing accounts during the three month period ended June 30, 2001. In the three month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company had no long-term debt and no interest expense. The company incurred $23,000 of interest expense in the three month period ended June 30, 2000 related to a long-term debt that the Company repaid in July 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of June 30, 2001, the company had $5,587,000 in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $2,972,000 from December 31, 2000. Net cash used in operating activities was $2,918,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 compared with $2,319,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2000. The approximately $600,000 increase in cash use relates primarily to the increased costs associated with the U.S. based operations that were established in 2001 but were in the process of being established in the six month period ended June 30, 2000. During the three month period ended June 30, 2001 the Australian dollar strengthened against the U.S. dollar. This resulted in a positive foreign currency effect on cash of approximately $21,000. During the six month period ended June 30, 2001 the Australian dollar weakened against the U.S. dollar. This resulted in a negative foreign currency effect on cash of approximately $160,000. The Company believes that its existing capital resources are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months. FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION The Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. This Act provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the expected results. All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this Form 10-Q are forward looking. In some cases, they can be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," " plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," or "continue," the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements. 13 14 CATUITY INC. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee our future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes liability for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this filing to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in its sales, expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in the Australian dollar. To date, the Company has not utilized any foreign currency hedging or other derivative instruments to reduce exchange rate risk. The Company does not expect to employ these or other strategies to hedge the risk in the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2001 and 2000 the Company's net current assets (defined as current assets less current liabilities) subject to foreign currency risk are $422,000 and $4,000,000. The potential decrease in net assets from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be approximately $42,200 and $400,000. The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk on its investment portfolio, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States and Australia. Since the Company generally invests in very short-term interest bearing deposits, it does not believe it is subject to any material market risk exposure. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS See notes to financial statements 14 15 CATUITY INC. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS On May 1, 2001 the Company entered into an agreement with Greenstone Partners Inc. whereby the Company agreed to issue shares of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock in exchange for Greenstone's investor relations services. Under the terms of the agreement, Greenstone received the following: 1. A total of 36,000 Catuity shares of common stock, vesting at the rate of 3,000 shares per month for one year, so long as the agreement is not terminated within one year. The 36,000 shares are restricted from resale until May 1, 2002 unless the Company elects to register the shares for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 prior to that date. 2. The option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $4.00 per share between August 1, 2001 and May 1, 2004 unless the agreement is terminated prior to its completion. 3. The option to purchase up to 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share subject to achieving certain performance requirements over the term of the two year agreement. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS On May 23, 2001, Catuity held its annual shareholder meeting at which time the shareholders elected Messrs. D.L. MacSmith, A.S. Dawson, D.P.F. Mount, M.V. Howe, A.L. Gilman, and R.C. Robins as Directors of the Company for the next twelve months. At the meeting, the shareholders approved the Catuity 2000 Director Stock Option Plan and authorized 100,000 shares of common stock for the plan. The shareholders also approved an amendment to the Catuity Inc. Stock Option Plan to increase the authorized shares for which options may be granted from 750,000 to 950,000.
