September 21, 2007 Digital Payment Technologies Ranked 40th Fastest Growing Technology Company in Canada in 2007 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Second year in a row receiving Canada’s most prestigious technology award Vancouver, B.C. – Digital Payment Technologies Corp. (DPT), has been named to the prestigious Deloitte Technology Fast 50 for the second year in a row. The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is a ranking of the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in Canada, based on the percentage of revenue growth over five years. DPT’s increase in revenues of 443 percent from 2002 to 2006 resulted in a 40th ranking. Over the last decade, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program has tracked the successful growth of Canadian-grown global leaders such as Research in Motion (RIM), which has ranked among the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 every year since the program’s inception in 1997. Now Canada’s pre-eminent technology award program, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 augments the broader Deloitte North American Technology Fast 500 initiative, with winners automatically eligible for this elite ranking. “Transforming technological innovation into business success is hard, and it’s especially difficult to sustain such rapid revenue growth over five years. Digital Payment Technologies has rapidly built a highly successful company in the Canadian technology industry and we applaud its dedication and ability to transform vision into reality,” says John Ruffolo, National Leader, Technology, Media & Telecommunications Industry Group, Deloitte. DPT’s CEO Andrew Scott credits the company’s execution on its plan to be at the forefront of the parking industry in terms of technology and customer service. “Our appearance on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 ranking for the second year in a row is a great honour and a testament to the dedication of our employees and the support of our clients,” says Scott. “The North America markets have responded positively to our vision and we anticipate our growth will continue into the future.” About Digital Payment Technologies Corp.
