EXHIBIT 99


As of December 31, 2003, 21st Century Technologies, Inc. (OTC:BB TFCT.OB-News)
is expected to report in excess of $5,200,000.00 in cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments. Alvin L. Dahl, the company's Chief Financial Officer,
has advised management that the company's latest audited statement for calendar
2003 expects to report in excess of $3,000,000.00 in cash and cash equivalents
on hand and an additional $2,250,000.00 in short term investments. This
represents an increase of over $5,192,000.00 over the same time last year
(2002).

Mr. Dahl stated, "An increase in a company's cash position of this magnitude
means that a complete turnaround has been accomplished by current management.
The short term investments are well-secured and should bring excellent returns
to the company. Now operating as a Business Development Company ("BDC"), the
company has the financial strength to go forward with its mission as a BDC.

Arland D. Dunn, President and CEO, said, "This report indicates that our 4th
Quarter for 2003 was very, very good. We expect the 2003 10-K to contain
additional good news demonstrating our company's newly-developed financial
strength. Our conversion to becoming a Business Development Company, the move of
executive offices to Las Vegas and acquisitions accomplished and pending have
worked out very well for 21st Century Technologies. We look forward to a banner
year for 2004, built on the momentum which we created in 2003. I know of no
period in the Company's history which will match what we have accomplished and
will accomplish."

As a Business Development Company, 21st Century owns four wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Innovate Weaponry, Inc., which manufactures low- and no-light gun
