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, transaction processors 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 using existing magnetic
stripe cards and/or smart cards.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, the Company's revenue increased to
$1,894,000 from $322,000 during the same period in 2001. Operating expenses,
before non-cash, variable stock compensation expense/(credit), decreased by
approximately $483,000, or 13%, principally due to lower legal expenses in 2002
associated with the Welcome Real-Time (WRT) lawsuit that was settled in the
first quarter of 2002. As a result, the Company's operating loss for the first
half of 2002, before non-cash, variable stock compensation expense/(credit), was
approximately $1,250,000 in 2002 compared to $3,300,000 in 2001. The non-cash
variable stock compensation expense/(credit) recorded in each period fluctuates
in accordance with the Company's stock price at each period end and is not
directly related to operations that occurred in the period. The Company's total
operating loss, including non-cash variable stock compensation expense/(credit),
for the six month period ended June 30, was $1,374,000 in 2002 as compared to
$2,811,000 in 2001.

For the three month period ended June 30, the Company's revenues increased to
$918,000 in 2002 from $177,000 during the same period in 2001. Operating
expenses, before non-cash, variable stock compensation expense/(credit),
decreased by approximately $306,000, or 15%, principally due to lower legal
expenses. As a result the Company's operating loss for the second quarter of
2002, before non-cash, variable stock compensation expense/(credit), was
approximately $818,000 in 2002 compared to $1,865,000 in 2001. Total operating
loss in the second quarter, including non-cash variable stock compensation
expense/(credit), was $1,004,000 in 2002 as compared to $2,205,000 in 2001.

For further information regarding the Company's market-products and services,
refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2001.

REVENUE

Revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2002 increased $741,000 from
2001. Modification work related to the Company's contract with a customer and
with a major national retail customer in the second quarter of 2002 was the
primary reason for the increase.

CATUITY INC.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS. (CONTINUED)

Revenue for the six month period ended June 30, increased to $1,894,000 in 2002
from $322,000 in 2001. In 2002, approximately $1,466,000 of revenue was related
to software modification activities, $405,000 was related to service revenues
for installation, training and customer support efforts, and $23,000 was related
to license revenue. All 2002 revenue was derived from U.S. customers. During the
six month period ended June 30, 2001, approximately $109,000 of revenue was from
software modification activities and $183,000 was from service revenues for
installation and training efforts on behalf of U.S. customers, while Australian
based service revenue was $30,000. The increase relates primarily to
modification work related to two major customers in the second quarter of 2002.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Product development expenses principally 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 23% to $373,000 in 2002 from
$304,000 in 2001. The increase relates to bonuses earned by members of the
development team that were paid for achieving early delivery on development
work. Excluding the bonus expense in the three month period ended June 30, 2002,
costs were 3% higher than in the same period in 2001.

For the six month period ended June 30, costs increased 20% to $660,000 in 2002
from $552,000 in 2001. Excluding the bonus expense in 2002, costs were 9% higher
than in the same period in 2001. The increase relates to cost of living
increases and additional staff hired in the second quarter of 2001 that were in
place for all of 2002.

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 86% to $393,000 in 2002 from $211,000 in 2001. The increase was
principally due to the hiring of additional staff needed to support increasing
customer implementation and support requirements.

For the six month period ended June 30, costs increased 47% from $470,000 in
2001 to $689,000 in 2002. The principal reasons for the six month increase are
consistent with the three month period increase.

SALES AND MARKETING

For the three month period ended June 30, sales and marketing costs decreased 9%
from $526,000 in 2001 to $478,000 in 2002. Sales and marketing costs in 2002
relate solely to U.S. based activities. The decrease was principally due to
expenses related to sales and marketing efforts undertaken in Australia in 2001
that have not been continued.

CATUITY INC.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS. (CONTINUED)

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 11% from $1,105,000 in the six month
period ended June 30, 2001 to $986,000 in 2002. The decrease was principally due
to a higher level of travel and Australian sales and marketing costs incurred in
2001.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

G&A 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, 2002 were $493,000
compared to $1,001,000 in the same period in 2001. The decrease of $508,000
(51%) principally reflects non-recurring legal costs recorded in the second
quarter of 2001 associated with the Company's patent infringement lawsuit that
was settled in March of this year. Excluding the difference in legal expenses,
the Company held 2002 overall G&A expenses to 2001 levels.

For the six month period ended June 30, general and administrative costs
decreased from $1,502,000 in 2001 to $811,000 in 2002, a 46% decrease. The
principal reasons for the six month decrease are consistent with the three month
period decrease. Excluding the difference in legal expenses, G&A expenses in
2002 were 2% higher than in 2001.

STOCK COMPENSATION

Stock compensation is a non-cash expense/(credit) that results from a
non-recourse loan awarded in 1996, to a director and an officer in order to
purchase common stock in the Company. Other than a small reduction in the loan
due to a partial repayment in 1999, the loans have remained unchanged since they
were initially made. The non-recourse loans are treated as variable and variable
accounting has been adopted. The non-cash expense/(credit) recorded each period
is based on the period ending price of the Company's stock in order to adjust
the cumulative expense recognized by the Company for the loans based on the fair
market price per share. For the three month period ended June 30, 2002, a
non-cash expense of $185,000 was recorded due to upward movement in the
Company's stock price since March 31, 2002. In the same period in 2001, a
non-cash expense of $340,000 was recorded.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2002 a non-cash expense of $122,000 was
recorded due to upward movement in the Company's stock price since December 31,
2001. In the same period in 2001, a credit of $(496,000) was recorded.

CATUITY INC.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS. (CONTINUED)

OTHER INCOME

Interest income decreased by $59,000, from $75,000 for the three month period
ended June 30, 2001 to $16,000 in 2002. The decrease in interest income is
primarily attributable to lower cash balances invested in interest bearing
accounts during the three month period ended June 30, 2002.

Interest income decreased by $149,000, from $180,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 2001 to $31,000 in 2002. The principal reasons for the six month
decrease are consistent with the three month period decrease.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2002, the company had $2,577,000 in cash and cash equivalents, a
decrease of $1,888,000 from December 31, 2001. The Company's account receivable
balance significantly increased due to the timing of invoicing at June 30, 2002.
Approximately $1,000,000 was collected in July 2002 and increased the Company's
cash balance from the June 30, 2002 level.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,773,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 2002 compared with $2,918,000 for the six month period ended June
30, 2001. The approximately $1,145,000 reduction in the use of cash was
primarily due to the Company's higher revenues in the period and the
corresponding reduction in its operating loss.

In both the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, the
Australian dollar strengthened against the U.S. dollar. This resulted in a
positive foreign currency effect on cash of approximately $15,000 in the second
quarter and a positive effect of approximately $18,000 for the first half of the
year.

The Company believes that its existing capital resources, combined with
collected revenues from signed contracts, are adequate to meet its cash
requirements for the next twelve months.

OF OPERATIONS. (CONTINUED)

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.

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. Various factors may cause actual performance to differ from any of
the forward-looking statements contained in the Management Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These include, but
are not limited to; currency exchange rates, inflation rates, recession, and
other external economic factors over which the Company has no control; the
timing and speed with which major customers and prospects execute their plans
for the use of loyalty and/or smart cards; the demand for, timing and market
acceptance of, new and existing smart card products; continued development of
the Company's software products; competitive product and pricing pressures;
patent and other litigation risk, the risk of key staff leaving the Company; as
well as the risk that major customers of the Company's products, including Visa,
reduce their requirements of or terminate their arrangements with the Company.
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.

CATUITY INC.

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, 2002 and 2001 the Company's net current assets (defined as
current assets less current liabilities) subject to foreign currency risk are
$884,000 and $422,000. The potential decrease in net assets from a hypothetical
10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be
approximately $88,400 and $42,200 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

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.

CATUITY INC.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On June 27, 2002 the Company announced a 1 for 8 renounceable rights offer to
all shareholders resident in Australia and New Zealand at $5.25AUD/$2.94USD for
each new share in an effort to raise approximately $5.3AUD/$2.9USD million. The
rights offer sought funds to add further capability to the Company's existing
systems and products by extending its business into data management, aggregation
and analytics and expanding its involvement in Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) services to customers. On August 6, 2002, due to the significant
volatility of global stock markets, particularly Nasdaq, the rights offering was
withdrawn. The Company continues to believe that the data analytics business is
a natural outgrowth of its present products and services and is planning to
continue its efforts to develop its capabilities in these areas.
