Item 5.  Other Events.

      21st  Century  Technologies, Inc. (the  "Company")  and  its
wholly owned subsidiary Trident Technologies, Inc. ("Trident") has
settled  the  litigation filed on April 27,  2001  against  former
Trident  Directors  Douglas N. Spring and Buren  Palmer  II.   The
litigation  has  been pending in the United States District  Court
for  the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division in  cause
number  4:01-CV-0338-Y.  Settlement  papers  were  signed  by  the
parties on June 25, 2001.

The  litigation  arose  out of Spring and Palmer's  employment  as
corporate officers and/o directors of Trident and the Company, and
the  ownership of Trident's magnetic patch technology  upon  which
the Sea Patch and Pro Mag are based.

The  lawsuit sought a temporary restraining order, and  thereafter
preliminary  and  permanent injunctions against Defendants  Spring
and  Palmer  prohibiting  them  from  transferring  or  using  the
Plaintiffs' proprietary information, including the magnetic  patch
technology,  and further requiring the Defendants to transfer  all
intellectual property rights relating to the Sea Patch and Pro Mag
technology  to  Trident, and returning any other property  of  the
Plaintiffs  that  is in the possession of the  Defendants  to  the
Plaintiffs.

The  complaint  filed  by  Trident and the  Company  alleged  that
Defendants Spring and Palmer entered into a written contract  with
the  Company  to develop and market the magnetic patch technology,
and  that  while  acting  as employees and corporate  officers  of
Trident  (and in the case of Defendant Spring, acting as a  member
of  the  Company's board of directors) the Defendants refined  the
Sea Patch and Pro Mag technology.

The  complaint  further  alleged that the  Defendants  refused  to
assign  certain intellectual property rights related  to  the  Sea
Patch  and Pro Mag technology after being repeatedly requested  to
do so and instead, while still employed as officers of Trident and
while  Spring  was still a director of the company,  attempted  to
sell the technology and patent rights to third parties without the
company's knowledge or consent.

As  part  of  the settlement of the litigation, Spring and  Palmer
will  assign all of their interests in the Sea Patch and Pro  Mag,
and  all  related patent applications and technology, to  Trident.
The  Company  will  make  payments  totaling  two  hundred  twenty
thousand  dollars to Spring and Palmer, who will  assign  to  21st
Century  the one million three hundred thousand shares  of  common
stock that they presently hold in the Company.  The litigants also
agreed  to  release any claims that they might have  against  each
other.
