EXHIBIT 99.1 CATUITY UPDATES SALES PROGRESS Company Plans Capital Raise, Auditors Give Company Going Concern Opinion CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. and MELBOURNE, Australia (Monday, April 9, 2007 - Catuity Inc. (Nasdaq: CTTY; ASX: CAT, CATN)), a loyalty and gift card processor, today issued a high-level update to the market on sales progress to ensure that all investors have equal access to the information. "We have continued to make progress in signing new accounts; developing successful sales partnerships and building our business so far in 2007," said John Racine, President and CEO of Catuity Inc. "Additionally, we are focused on closing a new capital raise in the second quarter to fund our strategy." Mr. Racine also noted: - - Catuity signed a new reseller and is now taking orders from its largest reseller to-date. This relationship is larger than the reseller relationship announced in January. "Our progress in the reseller market continues, even as some of our direct competitors withdraw or are acquired by larger processors," he said. - - Catuity has begun deploying a national health and fitness chain that has sold the rights to at least 400 club locations nationally. The company is launching both a loyalty card and gift card program. We hope to announce more specific details after the first wave of deployments are finished. - - Catuity has executed an agreement with a leading bank in the Australian market to integrate its loyalty and gift card to the bank's payments processing platform in the second quarter. Catuity believes that the win will give it the greatest penetration of the Australian point-of-sale market of any closed-loop processor. - - Catuity will shortly complete integration of its application to PC Charge, the leading PC-based payments software in the U.S. market. This investment will increase our access to middle market chain retailers while reducing our deployment timelines. - - Catuity anticipates closing a capital raise in the second quarter of approximately $1.7M to $2.0M to fund operations. Management is in active discussions with institutional investors about providing interim capital by the end of the second quarter and financing to fund acquisitions. The Company is actively engaged in discussions or various stages of due diligence with the senior management or key shareholders of over 10 companies, which meet our criteria of strategic fit and profitability.
