SAR Saratoga Electronic Solutions

Saratoga Electronic Solutions Inc. ("Saratoga") (TSX VENTURE:SAR) announces that
it has entered into an agreement in principle with Ultramar, the operator of a
chain of service stations and convenience stores located in eastern Canada, in
order to install and maintain a network of ATMs in approximately 200 Ultramar
locations.  The relationship between Saratoga and Ultramar is expected to have
an initial term of five years, with an option to extend it for a further three
years.  Saratoga expects these new Ultramar sites to generate a total of
approximately 1,000,000 transactions per year.  The final terms of the
commercial arrangement between Saratoga and Ultramar are currently being
negotiated by the parties.


Saratoga also announces that it has decided to discontinue its money remittance
business. In October 2006, Saratoga entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with
Union Bank of the Philippines in order to develop, commercialize and distribute
a money remittance platform which would enable persons residing in Canada to
electronically transfer funds to persons residing in the Philippines. However,
management has recently reviewed this line of business and determined there to
be limited prospects of generating sufficient operating revenue in order to
offset the costs associated with completing the launch of this platform.  As a
result, management has determined it to be in the best interests of Saratoga and
its shareholders that its money remittance operations be terminated.


Management expects to incur expenses of no greater than $10,000 in connection
with the closure of this division, and to realize savings of approximately
$100,000 in its 2010 financial year as a result of such closure.  The
discontinuance of the money remittance operations is not expected to have any
other material impact on the financial statements of Saratoga.
