Exhibit 10.1
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is entered into on December 30, 2003 by and
between Nevern ▇▇▇▇▇ ("Seller") and Safe Technologies International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Buyer") (collectively, the "Parties").
Seller owns and/or controls all of the outstanding common stock (the "Shares")
of Time Bytes LTD., ( a UK company); Time Bytes International, Inc., (a US
company), and Sports Profiles LTD, ( a UK company). The term "the Companies" as
used in this Agreement refers to the entities in their present form or as
redomiciled in the jurisdiction and name chosen. Buyer wishes to purchase a
sixty percent (60%) equity position in "the Companies", and Seller has agreed to
sell to Buyer the number of shares necessary to make Buyer the owner of 60% of
the outstanding shares of each of "the Companies" at the time of closing (the
"Shares").
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and conditions set
forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of the Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell and deliver the Shares to
Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase the Shares from Seller, free and clear of
all liens, charges or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever. The
purchase and sale shall take place at a closing (the "Closing") to be held at
Buyer's offices within 10 days after Seller's delivery to Buyer of "the
Companies" audited financial statements as required hereunder and Stock
Certificates from each Company evidencing a Sixty Percent equity position in
each Company. (the "Closing Date").
2. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Shares will be Seventeen Million
(17,000,000) shares of the stock of the Buyer. A Distribution Plan of these
Shares is attached as SCHEDULE 1. Seller acknowledges that some of the common
stock of Buyer to be issued hereunder will be issued without registration under
federal or state securities laws, due to Seller's consultancy and work out for
stock. Other stock will be restricted stock, and as restricted stock, the stock
may not be sold or otherwise transferred without registration or an exemption
therefrom, such as SEC Rule 144.
3. Conditions to Closing. Closing under this Agreement is subject to the
accomplishment of the following items:
a) Within 10 days of the date of this Agreement, Seller will provide
Buyer with audited financial statements of "the Companies" for the two most
recently ended fiscal years, and unaudited financial statements for each fiscal
quarter ended since the date of the last audited balance sheet. Seller will also
deliver copies of "the Companies" asset schedule and schedule of contracts,
which Buyer agrees to maintain in confidentiality.
b) Seller will enter into an Employment Agreement with "the Companies"
for a term of five (5) years, with two five (5) Year renewal options, assuming
the position of President and/or Managing Director of "the Companies". Seller
will be responsible for all day to day operations of "the Companies", establish
appropriate budgets for "the Companies" subject to the approval of "the
Companies" Board of Directors, and will operate "the Companies" on a full time
basis, in accordance with good business practices, and subject to the direction
of "the Companies" Board of Directors. If Seller wishes to resign his position
as President of "the Companies", he will provide Buyer with not less than 120
days prior written notice, during which period Seller will seek out and train a
replacement President. Seller will cause "the Companies" to retain an additional
officer capable of operating "the Companies" in the event Seller becomes
incapacitated and unable to fulfill his duties with "the Companies". Should
Seller resign, die, become disabled, or otherwise become incapable of fulfilling
his duties with "the Companies", Buyer will be entitled to choose Seller's
successor as President of "the Companies".
c) At all times up to Closing, Seller will afford Buyer and its
accountants, attorneys, consultants, representatives, agents and employees, at
all reasonable times, access to "the Companies"' books, files, records and
insurance policies for the purpose of audit, inspection and examination thereof,
and will do everything reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to make a complete
examination of "the Companies" and the condition thereof. All information so
obtained by Buyer and its representatives, agents, and employees shall be kept
confidential.
d) Seller will immediately provide a Litigation Affidavit, Schedule 1
(b), listing any and/or all litigation in process, pending, or threatened that
adversely affects the authority of Seller to transfer the Shares in accordance
with this Agreement.
4. Operation of "the Companies".
a) Seller understands that Buyer is a publicly traded company, and is
subject to SEC rules and regulations. Seller therefore agrees that the following
procedures, relating to accounting, reporting and fiscal responsibility, will be
maintained at all times by "the Companies". "The Companies" will retain, at
their expense, a part time Accountant who will prepare a monthly balance sheet
and income statement that will be routinely forwarded to Buyer. The Accountant
will be an accounting liaison between "the Companies" and Buyer's management in
the preparation of Buyer's Quarterly and Annual Reports to be filed with the
SEC.
b) Buyer agrees that it will not seek any dividends or other payments
from "the Companies" until "the Companies" have attained annual revenues of at
least $4,000,000. An exception to this would occur if a new large Client were
secured, wherein Seller could comfortably send upstream a percentage of
Operating Profits. Thereafter, unless the spinoff option (as provided for below)
is exercised, Seller will join with Buyer in causing "the Companies" to make
periodic distributions to shareholders from operating profits, to the extent
determined to be prudent by "the Companies" Board of Directors.
c) Seller agrees that so long as Buyer holds more than 10% of the
outstanding stock of "the Companies", Seller will vote his stock in "the
Companies" so as to elect one person designated by Buyer to "the Companies"
Board of Directors, and that the number of Directors of "the Companies" will not
be more than three, except as may be approved by Buyer.
d) If at any time one and/or all of "the Companies" is approached for
an acquisition, merger or similar opportunity, Buyer and Seller agree to
equitably and fairly consider the opportunity and viability of the opportunity
for all of the Parties.
5. Spinoff Option.
a) At such time as the audited annual revenues of "the Companies" reach
$5,000,000, but not prior to Twenty Four (24) months from the date of this
Agreement, Seller and Buyer may agree that it would be propitious and timely for
one or more of "the Companies" to SpinOff, so as to create a separate publicly
traded entity. Upon written agreement between Seller and Buyer that they wish to
2
effectuate such a Spinoff, Buyer and Seller will join together in effecting a
spinoff. Upon effectiveness of a spinoff, and immediately prior to the
commencement of public trading in "the Companies" common stock, Buyer will
surrender to "the Companies", the appropriate number of Shares for cancellation,
while retaining a Fifteen Percent (15) Equity Position in "the SpinOff
Company(s)", of which a portion of the Fifteen Percent of Stock will be
distributed to SFAD's shareholders. All expenses incurred in effecting any
spinoff transaction (legal and accounting, etc.) will be borne by "the
Companies", including reimbursement for Buyer's expenses, legal, accounting and
other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in effecting the spinoff and providing
"the Companies" with information and assistance in connection with its efforts
to become a public company. Expense reimbursements to Buyer will be made monthly
upon presentation of appropriate evidence of the expense.
b) If for any currently unforeseen reason, "the Companies" are legally
or politically prohibited from being able to effect a Spinoff, and/or if the
Seller elects not to do a spinoff, Seller may either remain in his capacity as
President/Managing Director of "the Companies" or terminate his Employment
Agreement in accordance with the notice provisions of the Employment Agreement.
If Seller elects to continue with "the Companies", Seller will cause "the
Companies" to either offer the Buyer a repurchase of the Companies' Shares held,
at that time, by the Buyer or make provision for a continual regular
distribution of Pro Rata Operating Profits to Buyer.
6. Failure to Achieve Revenues. If Seller is not able, for any reason, to cause
"the Companies" to achieve annual revenues of at least $5,000,000 within a five
year period, Seller will either remain as operating CEO of "the Companies",
and/or seek out and appoint an acceptable replacement for the position.
7. Capitalization. Following Closing, Buyer, at its expense, will prepare a
Private Placement Memorandum for use in raising capital for the development and
growth of "the Companies", subject to receiving the necessary business and
financial information from "the Companies", and will assist "the Companies" in
raising the funding, on a best efforts basis. In the event of any Dilution
resulting from the sale of "the Companies" stock that would cause SFAD's Equity
Position Percentage to drop below Fifty Five (55) Percent, then the Founder(s)
will surrender to the "Companies" for cancellation sufficient number of shares
so that SFAD's resulting equity percentage is not less than Fifty Five (55)
Percent. The only exception to this would be, in the event of the Spinoff, as
detailed in Section 5: Spinoff Option.
8. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller represents and warrants to
the Buyer that each of the following items is true and correct as of the date
hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date. The obligation of

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year
which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of
the profit or loss for that period. In preparing those accounts, the directors
are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company
and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud
and other irregularities.
AUDITORS
A resolution to reappoint ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co as auditors will be put to the members
at the Annual General Meeting.
SMALL COMPANY SPECIAL PROVISIONS
The report of the directors has been prepared in accordance with the special
provisions of Part VII of the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ relating to small companies.
This report was approved by the board on 14 October 2002.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF TIME BYTES LIMITED
We have audited the accounts of Time Bytes Limited for the period ended
31 October 2001 which comprise pages 5 to 12. These accounts have been prepared
in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities
(effective June 2002), under the historical cost convention and the accounting
policies set out therein.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
As described in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities the company's
directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with
applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.
Our responsibility is to audit the accounts in accordance with relevant legal
and regulatory requirements and United Kingdom Auditing Standards.
We report to you our opinion as to whether the accounts give a true and fair
view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. We
also report to you if, in our opinion, the Directors' Report is not consistent
with the accounts, if the company has not kept proper accounting records, if we
have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit,
or if information specified by law regarding directors' remuneration and
transactions with the company is not disclosed.
We read the Directors' Report and consider the implications for our report if we
become aware of any apparent misstatements within it.
BASIS OF AUDIT OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards
issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test
basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by
the directors in the preparation of the accounts, and of whether the accounting
policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently applied
and adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from
material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error.
In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the
presentation of information in the accounts.
OPINION
In our opinion the accounts give a true and fair view of the state of the
company's affairs as at 31 October 2001 and of its profit/loss for the year then
ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

(effective June 2002).
TURNOVER
Turnover represents the invoiced value of goods and services supplied by

the assets over their estimated useful lives.

STOCKS
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
DEFERRED TAXATION
Provision is made for deferred taxation using the liability method to take
account of timing differences between the incidence of income and

a liability to taxation is unlikely to crystallise.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the
date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, which are
those where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
asset have passed to the company, are capitalised in the balance sheet and
depreciated over their useful lives.

loss account over the period of the lease and represents a constant
proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight
line basis over the lease term.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year
which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of
the profit or loss for that period. In preparing those accounts, the directors
are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company
and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud
and other irregularities.
AUDITORS
A resolution to reappoint ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co as auditors will be put to the members
at the Annual General Meeting.
SMALL COMPANY SPECIAL PROVISIONS
The report of the directors has been prepared in accordance with the special
provisions of Part VII of the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ relating to small companies.
This report was approved by the board on 12 August 2003.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF TIME BYTES LIMITED
We have audited the accounts of Time Bytes Limited for the year ended 31 October
2002 which comprise pages 5 to 12. These accounts have been prepared in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective
June 2002), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set
out therein.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
As described in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities the company's
directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with
applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.
Our responsibility is to audit the accounts in accordance with relevant legal
and regulatory requirements and United Kingdom Auditing Standards.
We report to you our opinion as to whether the accounts give a true and fair
view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. We
also report to you if, in our opinion, the Directors' Report is not consistent
with the accounts, if the company has not kept proper accounting records, if we
have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit,
or if information specified by law regarding directors' remuneration and
transactions with the company is not disclosed.
We read the Directors' Report and consider the implications for our report if we
become aware of any apparent misstatements within it.
We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards
issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test
basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by
the directors in the preparation of the accounts, and of whether the accounting
policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently applied
and adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from
material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error.
In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the
presentation of information in the accounts.
OPINION
In our opinion the accounts give a true and fair view of the state of the
company's affairs as at 31 October 2002 and of its profit for the year then
ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2002
1 Accounting policies
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities
(effective June 2002).
TURNOVER
Turnover represents the invoiced value of goods and services supplied by
the company, net of value added tax and trade discounts.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off
the assets over their estimated useful lives.
Furniture and Equipment 20% straight line
STOCKS
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
DEFERRED TAXATION
Provision is made for deferred taxation using the liability method to take
account of timing differences between the incidence of income and
expenditure for taxation and accounting purposes, except to the extent that
a liability to taxation is unlikely to crystallise.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the
date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the
balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the profit and loss
account.
LEASING AND HIRE PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, which are
those where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
asset have passed to the company, are capitalised in the balance sheet and
depreciated over their useful lives.
The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and
loss account over the period of the lease and represents a constant
proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight
line basis over the lease term.

Attn ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
20 January 2004
Dear Sirs
You have requested a letter regarding litigation at the present time relating to
Time Bytes Ltd, Time Bytes International Inc and Sports Profiles Ltd as part of
your due diligence.
Time Bytes International Inc has not yet traded as far as I am aware and
therefore there can be no litigation.
I am pleased to be able to confirm that to the best of my knowledge there is no
current civil, criminal, product liability, employee liability or other
litigation whatsoever apart from the claims listed below for unpaid sums:
GKD Ltd (pound)4,430.47
(GKD is a printer and there was a dispute regarding the quality of their print)
Duraweld Ltd (pound)16,677.41
(There was a dispute concerning the quality of packaging they supplied)
Walkers of Manchester (pound)3,170.61 less (pound)1,000 paid,
current balance (pound)2,170.61
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (pound)3,625.85 less (pound)3,095.85 paid,
current balance (pound)530
TNT (pound)3,819.91
As noted above, two of these were disputed but judgment was awarded against the
company.
I am not aware at present of any other creditors who have issued writs for
unpaid invoices at the present time.
Also I know of no matters pending which might lead to a claim for damages.
I trust the above will be sufficient for your purposes.
Yours faithfully
