Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2003

Christian Crespo, a member of 21st Century Technologies' (OTCBB:TFCT) Investment Committee, has communicated approval of the acquisition of Credit Card Financial Corporation ("CCFC") by the Company to Arland D. Dunn, Chairman of the Board.

Mr. Dunn said, "We are very pleased that our Investment Committee agrees with the action taken last week entering into a Letter of Intent to acquire CCFC. The Investment Committee is made up of independent directors, as required by the law, rules and regulations controlling corporate governance of Business Development Companies ("BDC's")." As a BCD, we must not only maintain a majority of independent directors on our board, but we must also pass acquisitions or other investments through them first, as an Investment Committee. Although we had high confidence in the CCFC transaction, approval is always welcome."

Mr. Crespo stated that, "The CCFC proposition gives 21st a terrific opportunity with which to not only increase shareholder value, but to add substantially to the net worth of 21st Century. It is an interesting and exciting business to add to 21st inventory."

21st Century Technologies, Inc., is a Business Development Company, which operates 3 wholly-owned subsidiaries - Trident Technologies, Inc., which manufactures high-technology rare earth permanent magnet powered leak and rupture sealing systems; Innovate Weaponry, Inc., which manufacture tritium-powered low and no light gun sights under the PT-Night Sights brand; and, Miniature Machine Corporation, which manufactures adjustable gunsights to a fine precision standard, sold under the "MMC" label. Acquisition of CCFC, which will buy and sell consumer credit card debt, is the Company's initial entry into the world of financial activity; however, many of 21st Century's upper management, including President and CEO Arland D. Dunn, have extensive successful experience in the consumer debt industry.
