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.



In its recently filed financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006
and included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on April 2, 2007, Catuity
said it had received a going concern qualification from its independent
auditors, BDO Seidman, LLP. This announcement is being made to comply with
Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(b)(1)(B), which requires separate disclosure of
receipt of an audit opinion that contains a going concern qualification. This
announcement does not represent any change or amendment to Catuity's 2006
financial statements or to its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Further information
regarding the going concern qualification is contained in Catuity's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
