companies/Indicative Q3/08 results

Tägerwilen (euro adhoc) - - Quarterly revenues of EUR 4.9 million
(Q3/08: EUR 3.2 million) - Net profit for the quarter of approx. EUR
1.7 million expected (Q3/07: EUR 0.6 million) - Sale of licenses via
OEM partner accelerates

SAF AG, listed in the Prime Standard (ISIN CH0024848738), shows a
turnover in the third quarter of 2008 of EUR 4.9 million (Q3/07: EUR
3.2 million) and achieves the best quarterly revenues of its
corporate history.

Third quarter revenues from license sales showed EUR 2.8 million
(Q3/07: EUR 1.6 million) mainly originating from seven contracts
concluded by the OEM partner. The revenue from maintenance contracts
subsequent to the sales of licenses that added up to a volume of EUR
1.6 million (Q3/07: EUR 1.2 million) by the third quarter of 2008 is
a stable source of turnover. An amount of EUR 0.5 million (Q3/07: EUR
0.3 million) was recorded as revenue from services.

Based on a first analysis of the preliminary results for the third
quarter of 2008, the company expects net profit to be substantially
positive at approx. EUR 1.7 million (Q3/07: EUR 0.6 million).

The company is still expecting revenues to grow in 2008. "The
achieved sales and profit for the first three quarters of 2008 and a
renewed check of the factors influencing the sales makes me
optimistic", explains Dr. Andreas von Beringe, CEO of SAF AG, the
prospects. "Not only has our OEM partner confirmed the outlook for
the second half of 2008 with the current number of licenses sold, but
the expected increase in the revenue from licenses from the direct,
the maintenance and the service business also backs our estimations."
However, von Beringe also points out: "Even if the SAF technology
enables retailers to substantially reduce costs and increase turnover
it still remains open to what extent the economic crisis expected by
many and the associated plunge in capital expenditure may affect the
further development of SAF's business." Nevertheless, the company
does not see any such signs at the moment.

SAF will publish its detailed figures for the third quarter of 2008
on November 25, 2008.
