[logo] EXHIBIT 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAFE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. (SFAD) CONFIRMS FLOAT IS 100,000,000 SHARES Palm Beach, FL., March 31, 1999, Safe Technologies International, Inc., (OTC:SFAD) reported today, that the current number of shares available for trading, at this time, is 100,000,000 shares. Many shareholders are confusing the 'float' with the number of SFAD's issued shares, (including 144 Restricted shares), totaling 712,489,700 at December 31, 1998. Brad Tolley, Vice President of SFAD Investor Relations said, "we do not expect the float to increase dramatically in 1999, due to Lock Up Agreements which SFAD's Management and major shareholders have entered into. SFAD shareholders should also note that a large percentage (75%) of the SFAD issued stock is 144 Restricted stock which is owned by two shareholders. This means that the float should not be significantly increased in the short and medium term". Management will keep Shareholders apprised as to significant increases of SFAD's Float.
