BW1-I will do my best.Anyone else please correct me if I get it wrong.
Below is reproduced the latest guidance I can recall on revenue model of Catuity,including per terminal and per card activated revenues(the Target deal as we would understand it) ,but it is dated as it was in an announcement of 12/12/01-however it would reflect contracts signed at that time as it says and i think Target was signed at the time this guidance was issued.I cannot find anything later on the model.

As for Target subsidies etc info is scanty from published accounts,however it would seem major discount came from Visa subsidy for being first retailer to issue.BUT a few conference calls ago Jerry Storch of Target referred to the fact that major manufacturers had backed the rollout with funding(the likes of J&J,Mattel,Unilever were mentioned)(either in the main or the Q&A session).You would find that in my accounts of the calls but that is difficult to find/access from the S/House archive of my posts because I post too often(!).You can of course listen to Target conference calls at their website and they are archived,as you probably know.

Sorry but there is a veil of secrecy we are contending with!

From 12/12/01 Announcement-

REVENUE MODEL

Catuity believes it has demonstrated that its revenue model is
acceptable to customers.

Catuity today obtains three types of revenue:

* Time-based or fixed, project by project fees for services for
software development, integration, customisation and installation.

* A percentage of technology license fees paid for software
maintenance, support and upgrades.

* Usage-based fees for technology licenses.

The usage-based fees for technology licenses is based on one or a
combination of

* Fee per card issued with applet loaded ranging from 60 cents to 110
cents depending on volumes.

* Fee per card activated on a host for use in loyalty programs
ranging from 70 cents to 120 cents Australian depending on volumes.

* Fee per transaction from 8 cents to 16 cents Australian depending
on volumes.

* Fee per payment device software installed in multi-lane systems, in
POS terminals and on web sites ranging from A$20 - A$40 per terminal
to several thousand dollars for web sites depending on volumes.

At the top end of the market, Catuity has signed technology license
agreements that provide for payment of fees per card activated on a
host for use in loyalty. At the lower end of the market Catuity has
signed technology license agreements that provide for the payment of
fees per transaction. Catuity expects to sign future contracts with
substantially the same fee arrangements.
