FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

             SAFE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC., REPORTS
             INTERNET ACQUISITION CLOSING AND DISCLOSURE OF
               MAJOR SFAD SHAREHOLDERS LOCK UP AGREEMENTS

Palm Beach, FL., February 5, 1999, Safe Technologies International, Inc., 
(OTC:SFAD) announced today, that the Company has closed the Acquisition 
Agreement with Internet Associates International, Inc., (IAI) in Boca Raton, 
FL.

Brad Tolley, Vice President of Investor Relations, said "we are very pleased 
to have closed the deal with Internet Associates, today, February 5, 1999, at 
our attorney's offices.  Management had looked at, several, similar companies 
during the past year, providing Web Hosting, Web Marketing and Design 
services, as Internet Associates' offer.  However, no other companies' 
management, we looked at, exhibited the strength in management skills, e.g., 
fiscal responsibility, organizational expertise, etc.,  which the Internet 
Associates' Managing Directors demonstrate.  Unlike most Internet companies, 
Internet Associates is geared to expect profits.  For example, January, 1999, 
IAI's unaudited financials indicate a Net Profit of $40,000 for the month.  A 
company like this is important to SFAD in several respects.   IAI conforms to 
SFAD's acquisition criteria: solid growth and Shareholder value".

Management, in their continuing interest of providing SFAD shareholders with 
current information, also disclosed, today, that the two largest SFAD 
shareholders, and the management, together, representing a 78% equity position 
in the Company, have entered into Shareholder Agreements for further 
restrictions, as to the sale of their SFAD stock, over and above what the SEC 
144 rule permits for volume sales in the next four quarters.  Pursuant to that 
period, the shareholders and officers will again review the market situation 
to ascertain the need for additional further restrictions. 

Mr. Tolley, said, "Management has great expectations for 1999, based on the 
groundwork which was laid in 1998.  It is important to emphasize and reinforce 
in Shareholders' thinking that SFAD is a multi-faceted company, fast evolving 
into an E-Corporation".

Safe Technologies International, Inc., (OTC: SFAD), based in Palm Beach, 
Florida, is a multi-faceted company with multiple areas of concentrations:  
Internet, Technology, and Heath Care/Wellness.
