companies/Preliminary 2007 Results
- Expected sales revenues of EUR 13.2
million (Q4/07: EUR 3.9 million) - Expected consolidated net profit 
of EUR 3.0 million (Q4/07: EUR 1.2 million) - Three international 
contracts concluded via direct sales provide a solid basis for 
further growth
Tägerwilen/Switzerland, March 6, 2008. SAF AG, which is listed in the
Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange(ISIN CH0024848738) 
expects - following a preliminary review of its fourth quarter 2007 
results - that the total year results will be within the released 
guidance range (total annual sales revenues: EUR 13.6 million to EUR 
15.0 million; consolidated net profit: EUR 2.7 million to EUR 3.9 
million).
Based on the above, the Company currently assumes total sales 
revenues for the fiscal year 2007 of ca. EUR 13.2 million (Q4/07: EUR
3.9 million) and consolidated net profit of ca. EUR 3.0 Mio. (Q4/07: 
EUR 1.2 million). Following last year´s explosion in sales revenues 
of 84 percent, this would correspond to a decline in sales revenues 
of 2.6 percent and a reduction in consolidated net profit of 35.3 
percent versus last year. Considering these figures, the Company 
expects the business results to lie within the range of the adjusted 
guidance. During Q4/07, sales of software licenses via the OEM 
partner were in-line with the latest expectations.
"Our 2007 business results were significantly below our expectations.
However, nothing has fundamentally changed in the pre-requisites for 
continuation of the SAF success story," emphasized SAF AG CEO, Dr. 
Andreas von Beringe. "We have set the stage for further business 
growth. This applies especially to the expansion of our direct sales 
business: At the turn of the year, we concluded two new contracts in 
Poland and a contract in the USA with one of the Top Ten retailers 
which form an outstanding starting point for the expansion of our 
direct sales business," added von Beringe.
SAF will publish detailed figures for the total 2007 fiscal year on 
March 12.
