Business Editors

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 2003

21st Century Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:TFCT), a rapidly growing homeland security company providing equipment for disaster response applications, announced today that it has designed to order, manufactured and delivered to the Canadian Military authority 12 specialized tools employing technology used by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trident Technologies, Inc., to produce high-tech high-powered rare earth magnets. Specific details for this custom order are not releasable; however, the Canadians provide specifications for such custom work, which is then engineered and built by Trident. Once prototypes are ready, they are returned to Canada for field trials. Following the field trials, some designs are accepted as is, and others may have additional design work performed. The magnets employed operate on the same basic principles as Trident's SeaPatch and ProMag leak-sealing devices.

The Canadian Military authority has indicated that future opportunities will be forthcoming for Trident to provide other custom-designed products to enhance mission capabilities. The current order brings the number of Trident-supplied special design applications to the Canadian Military authority to 42.

"Our relationship with the Canadian Military is satisfying," said Arland D. Dunn, President and CEO of 21st Century, and President of Trident Technologies, Inc. "These unique applications should help enlarge our market penetration within the United States military establishment as well. We already have some unique U.S. Navy applications."

Trident currently provides its patented permanent rare-earth magnets to the Naval Sea Systems Command's (NAVSEA) Emergency Ship Salvage Material (ESSM). The ESSM system is a mixture of bases and other facilities that provide ship salvage, pollution control and engineering equipment on an emergency basis. http://www.essmnavy.net

Trident's powerful cam-off cam-on patented rare-earth permanent magnets are the heart of its ProMag and SeaPatch leak and rupture-sealing devices being established in the marketplace by Trident Technologies, Inc. www.tfctcorp.com These devices are already in service with some of the world's largest companies, such as Exxon-Mobil (NYSE: XOM - News), CSX (NYSE: CSX-News), Conoco (NYSE: COP - News) and Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW - News).

"We have just begun to scratch the surface when it comes to applications of our magnet technology," said Mr. Dunn. "The power and permanence of these magnets is startling. We expect custom work to become a substantial part of our business."
