CALS GIVES RETAILERS CONTROL OF LIABILITY RISK

Catuity Delivers Flexible Points Management, Zero-Liability Programs

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA--(MARKET WIRE)--April 17, 2007--Catuity Inc. (Nasdaq:CTTY
- News), a loyalty and gift card processor, today announced that its newest
release of the Catuity Advanced Loyalty System (CALS) gives retailers greater
flexibility to manage the financial liability that grows with the popularity of
points programs.

"Points is a second currency for shoppers, but they have the potential to become
an unchecked financial liability for retailers," said John Racine, President and
CEO of Catuity Inc. "We've now added a greater range of options to manage when
and how the points can be accumulated and used to address the market need. This
is an important step toward allowing our customers to manage their liability and
to drive the use of the points in a way that makes customers more profitable."

"In addition to points, Catuity has one of the industry's widest range of
programs that is designed to drive zero-liability by offering real-time rewards
that are available only when the cardholder spends more money in the stores," he
said. "Liability grows when points are earned. We give retailers control of this
with tools that turn points into profits."

Catuity, a pioneer of loyalty technology since 1992, provides a fully hosted
loyalty and gift card solution for our retail clients that enables Catuity to
constantly upgrade our technology without impacting our clients. The new points
liability management functionality is available to all customers, but was
designed to support the unique program needs of a client who operates a
coalition marketing program. Our client expects to deploy to 600-plus
independent retailers this year under this coalition program.

"As points-based programs grow in popularity, retailers run the risk of a hidden
liability if they don't have the flexibility to drive offers designed to
selectively allow points to be redeemed and expired," said Kate Barrett,
director of client management at Catuity. "This upgrade to CALS gives our
clients absolute control over their points programs and makes their program a
stronger tool to increase same-store sales."

Under a patchwork of laws, loyalty points are treated as a financial liability
because the customer earns them with the expectation that they can be spent
later for goods and services. CALS allows a retailer to manage their liability
through flexible expiration dates, timely redemption offers and reporting that
allows program operators to estimate their potential liability.



CALS supports the industry's most diverse range of loyalty options. The platform
can support points, discounts, stair-step offers, BOGO programs, rebates and
cash-back offers, frequency programs, trigger-based promotions and SKU-level
offers. "CALS allows retailers to combine any features of those types of
programs to match their marketing and merchandising strategies," said Barrett.

Catuity holds eleven key patents in its markets and continues to invest in the
innovation of CALS. Added Racine, "Our intellectual property is an asset to our
customers and to our shareholders."
