TFCT.OB) Chief Financial Officer, has reported to Arland D. Dunn, 21st's
President and CEO that the Company's 3rd quarter 10Q, due to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on or before November 15th, 2003, will report
an increase of approximately $1,500,000 in cash on hand and stock subscription

of 2003. The third quarter 10Q covers the Company's performance for the period
July 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003.

     "I am extremely gratified to hear the good news from Mr. Dahl," said Arland
D. Dunn. "The availability of these funds to pursue our goal of obtaining
funding to provide ProMags and SeaPatches to the nation's fire departments
through the Department of Homeland Security makes our task much easier and
raises our expectations of success even higher. Additionally, these funds and
additional capital influxes which we expect in the near future will enable us to
pursue acquisitions and provide capital to our subsidiaries for improvement of
their performance. This is what we as a Business Development Company are
supposed to do. Our future has never been brighter."

     ProMags /SeaPatches, manufactured by 21st Century's wholly-owned subsidiary
Trident Technologies, Inc., are rare-earth permanent magnet powered leak and
rupture sealing devices, designed for quick and easy application for the purpose
patching leaks from storage vessels, pipelines, railroad tank cars and the like.
They have particular application in stopping HAZMAT spills, even in difficult
situations. Many ProMags are in service with nation's railroads, such as Union
Pacific (NYSE:UPN) and CSX (NYSE:CSX) and other heavy industry users, such as
ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) and Dow Chemical (NYSE:DOW).
