21st Century Technologies Future Brightens for IWI/MMC September 08, 2003 07:32:00 AM ET LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2003--Kevin Romney, General Manager of 21st Century Technologies Inc.'s TFCT Innovative Weaponry, Inc. ("IWI") and Miniature Machine Corporation ("MMC"), announced the start of a campaign which will invigorate 21st Century's Tritium-powered low-light and no-light gun sight businesses, as well as sales of precision adjustable open sights, making good use of the recent conversion of the parent corporation to a Business Development Corporation. Mr. Romney said, "We have had a lot of excitement recently with good news concerning the ProMag and SeaPatch magnetic leak sealing systems from our subsidiary Trident Technologies, Inc. We have been paying attention to our other subsidiaries, Innovative Weaponry, Inc. and Miniature Machine Corporation, as well." "The availability of business development funds will enable us to accelerate product development and improvement on behalf of IWI/MMC, increasing our penetration of the sight market, putting us in a better position to take advantage of increased handgun sales and heightened general interest in personal protection and security matters." Mr. Romney noted that states which pass "carry" laws, permitting citizens to carry concealed weapons on their person, generally enjoy reductions in crimes against persons. "I expect that these `carry' laws will become the law in more and more jurisdictions," said Mr. Romney. "Populous states, such as Florida, have enjoyed the benefits of this type of legislation. IWI and its brother, MMC, will be ready for the increased business that is following. Even without such laws, general interest in gun ownership is on the increase." Mr. Romney described several product improvements being introduced to the market which will enhance IWI-MMC sales, such as: -- A new line of premium fixed sights, made to finer tolerances and finishes; -- An improved bluing process which will enhance appearance and durability -- A redesign of "white dot" technology for brighter sight pictures -- Improvements and cost reductions in the manufacturing process including outsourcing Additional modifications awaiting submission of and approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and will be incorporated as soon as possible thereafter, include: -- A new epoxy glue process which will facilitate Tritium insertion, improving manufacturing efficiency -- Larger, brighter surrounding outline of the Tritium inserts which will improve sight picture "These improvements will give us a big advantage over the competition. They will create excitement in the market place," said Mr. Romney. "When our expanded marketing force goes after increased sales, it will be well-armed with a superior product line, covering price and model ranges from top to bottom. IWI and MMC will be THE source for after-market gun sights. That, in turn, will increase our opportunities for more OEM business. This part of 21st Century's business will create profit excitement." 21st Century Technologies, Inc. operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Innovative Weaponry, Inc. and Miniature Machine Corporation that manufacture gun sights. IWI is the maker of PT Night Sights, which are fixed gun sights employing Tritium to provide a glowing light source for improved sight pictures in difficult light situations. MMC makes high-precision adjustable gun sights, popular with serious hobbyists and shooting enthusiasts. The market in which they compete is estimated to account for $30 million to $50 million sales volume per year and is increasing. Product improvement and increased security interest will increase 21st's penetration of market share substantially, according to company sources.

TFCT Chicago Fire Department Urges Homeland Security Support for 21st Century's ProMag Thursday September 18, 12:28 pm ET LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 18, 2003--The Chicago Fire Department's Chief of Special Operations Michael W. Fox has urged support of Department of Homeland Security funding of ProMag magnetic leak sealing devices manufactured by 21st Century Technologies' (OTCBB:TFCT - News) wholly-owned subsidiary so that ProMag be made available his department, one of the nation's largest. In a letter addressed to Trident Technologies, Chief Fox said: We have reviewed thoroughly the desirability of adding to our required equipment roster the Promag (sic) magnetic leak sealing device. Availability of Promag to our department will enable us to attack quickly and efficiently spills, leaks and ruptures encountered during the course of our duties, protecting both the population and the environment from noxious, dangerous hazards requires that Promag be made available to us. With it, we can do our jobs properly. Chief Fox then addressed issues presented by recent history: The new dangers of our new world require vigilance and high-tech solutions to problems that were not part of the old world. Our new Department of Homeland Security should and can permit us to enjoy the benefits of Promag through direct funding. We urge that you support our effort to see that we don't leave the fire station without Promag on board. Arland D. Dunn, President and CEO of 21st Century said, "This is exactly the kind of support we need in urging the Department of Homeland Security to provide funding to the nation's 31,000 plus fire departments for the acquisition of ProMags by all of them. Additional support for our position is forthcoming from other fire departments, some small and some among the nation's most prominent. Chief Fox obviously knows his business, and we appreciate his willingness to support us in our effort." ProMag (and its marine-engineered brother, Sea-Patch) are efficient leak-sealing devices powered by rare-earth high technology permanent magnets. 21st Century Technologies is seeking a multi-year funding program through the Department of Homeland Security so that all of the nation's fire departments can make ProMag/SeaPatch a part of their regular equipment list. Safe Harbor Statement The statements made by 21st Century Technologies Inc. (the "Company") may be forward-looking in nature and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.
