PrizeWise has collaborated with Direct Response Technologies, Inc. in the implementation of the program and has licensed their DirectTrack(R) technology to manage the affiliate marketing program. The DirectTrack(R) tracking and reporting platform was ranked as the #1 affiliate tracking technology platform by an independent, industry leading publication, voted on by 25,000 readers, in February 2004.

Jason Wolfe, president of Direct Response Technologies, has aggressive goals for new member acquisition numbers. Direct Response Technologies' goal is to ramp up to 10,000 new members per week by the end of November, 2004.

According to Steve Rinehart, president of prizeWise, as Direct Response expands toward expected levels of production, "prizeWise's member base will skyrocket. This system will help us reach people who have been outside of our normal range of contact."

Rinehart, said that Web sites previously unassociated with the company will be able to place prizeWise banners on their own sites and will receive a commission for each person who registers as a new member.

From the 10-K filed earlier this year:

"State the number of shares outstanding of each of the issuer's classes of common equity, as of the latest practicable date. 493,100,811 ISSUED
COMMON SHARES AS OF March 29, 2004."

From the 10-Q filed shortly thereafter:

"State the number of shares outstanding of each of the issuer's classes of common equity, as of the latest practicable date: 493,425,811 as of May 10, 2004."

And now from the 10-Q filed a week or so ago:

"State the number of shares outstanding of each of the issuer's classes of common equity, as of the latest practicable date: 502,476,999 as of August 6, 2004."

Also found in the recent 10-Q:

"During the third and fourth quarter of 2003, the Company raised $4,629,564 by selling 235,730,081 shares of common stock. This offering was completed in the first quarter of 2004, bringing the total cash raised to $5,000,000 and an additional 35,300,000 shares of common stock were issued under regulation E. Additionally, Compass Capital purchased 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock for a total payment of $750,000. This was part of the commitment to purchase 10,000,000 shares $2,500,000 which resulted in a director representing Compass Capital being elected to the Board of Directors."

Now one might say, hey but those quarter billion shares were sold during the 3rd and 4th quarters, wouldnt the dilutive effects already have been seen? Well, not really. My hypothesis, which is proven by the trading, is that most of these shares were tightly held until the stock ran in June. The buyers of this stock then sold for a tidy profit. Seeing as the shares were sold for an average price of less than .02 per share. That it why TFCT moves slower nowadays. There is a considerably larger float to move.

However, as you can see, from the 1st quarter's number of "493,425,811 as of May 10, 2004." to the second quarter "502,476,999 as of August 6, 2004." There are still more shares being issued, probably as compensation to executives. These shares are now being sold as can be seen at:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=TFCT.OB

The A/S is 750,000,000 so they are still free to dilute up to 50% of the current O/S. This is why I have never bought stock in TFCT, but rather watched the company and analyzed its value. This company has huge potential but right now is trading at an unacceptable price and with an unacceptable share structure. Both of these things could be fixed with a R/S and an advance to a reputable board. I think they will proceed with this plan by next year sometime, but until then management will probably continue to cash out, because that is their main form of compensation. I still follow this stock with incredible interest and will buy the stock when the company looks to be turning the corner.

People investing at this level are taking more risks, but will have a much greater reward than people who wait for solid numbers like I do.

Good luck everyone

I dont like to compare stocks that are not in the same business but SIRI is one that has a large OS has never done a R/S and still has given its shareholders greaet wealth. Besides the fact that they are in debt well past their heads. Please give me your insight. Thanks in advance

Yes I agree that TFCT is a "best of the worst" kind of company. It really stands out on the OTCBB when you are profiting and your shares are only priced at .054. 9 million shares is not that significant no, but still its 9 million more shares. And its not so much this small number of shares, its the fact that the A/S number is nowhere within reach. If they make another acquisition they will probably use shares of stock to complete it. This will further dilute.

I think television and print ads are good, but more internet ads would target those who use it daily. There are still many people who have never used a computer but watch a lot of TV. Are they potential customers? Maybe, maybe not.. . . . .

Also, it seems to me that items are retired too quickly. Why can't the time period be extended if it is agreeable with the seller? A returned ticket is fair, but discouraging if the desired items never complete the auction.

I have not seen any ads--just PR's about ads. I realize that getting this off the ground was a feat in itself, and they are still trying to work out all of the bugs.

However, we need to move ahead now and target potential customers through the medium that those customers use daily.

And yes, I did send an email last month stating my concerns. If I receive a reply, I will post it.

LAS VEGAS, Aug 27, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today, 21st Century Technologies, Inc. (OTC:BB TFCT.OB) announced the jury verdict of a lawsuit Patricia Wilson, former radiation safety officer, brought against the company.

21st Century believes that there are sufficient grounds to request an appeal. The company intends to vigorously pursue a motion for new trial and an appeal if necessary. 21st Century has engaged additional counsel, Vial, Hamilton, Koch & Knox, LLP, a major Dallas Fort Worth law firm to assist us in the appellate process.

On August 23, 2004, a jury in the 153rd District Court of Tarrant County, TX, returned a verdict that Ms. Wilson was wrongfully terminated by prior management of 21st Century on August 31, 2001. Wilson's ex-husband, Ken Wilson, was found jointly liable with 21st Century regarding the wrongful termination charge.

The jury awarded Wilson $30,000 for lost benefits from the date of her termination through the date of the trial.

The jury also awarded Wilson $225,000 in lost earnings for the same period.

In a countersuit filed against Wilson by 21st Century, the jury found that Wilson unlawfully converted $68,917.80 in funds belonging to the company to her own possession.

Additionally, the jury awarded Wilson damages from 9 million shares of stock - shares that were previously awarded to her in a divorce case - an additional 100,000 shares of stock, and a $150,000 golden parachute as a member of the board. The jury allocated $5.3 million in damages to these claims.

21st Century believes it has significant grounds for appeal, and intends to file a motion to vacate the verdict relating to the 9 million shares based upon a prior decree in a divorce court that had awarded the same, identical shares.

The trial court dismissed all causes of action against former directors and co-defendants, Jim Mydlach, Dave Gregor, and Fred Rausch.

All causes of action against former directors and the company for negligent investigation and breach of fiduciary duty were also dismissed by the trial court.

21st Century Technologies is a Business Development Company, operated pursuant to the Investment Companies Act of 1940. It holds various enterprises as investments and seeks to grow companies in which it has an interest.

LAS VEGAS, Aug 30, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 21st Century Technologies, Inc.'s (OTC:BB TFCT.OB) portfolio investment company, prizeWise, Inc. announced today that new servers and hardware will be installed Tuesday, and that dedicated bandwidth to prizeWise.com will be tripled.

Last week, the prizeWise tech team began preparing the cluster for installation and said the plan is to complete the conversion Tuesday morning, increasing system response time by an estimated 400 percent or more.

The dual-processor servers, load balancers, and firewalls will replace lesser hardware that has struggled to support the Web site's thousands of daily visitors.

An entire server will be dedicated to prize databases while another will house member records. Separating the databases should significantly reduce search and response times.

Additionally, programmers are in the process of reprogramming prizeWise.com in ASP.Net from ASP. The look and feel of the *************work will remain the same, but the new system will further increase speed and capacity. This optimization should increase site speed by 200 percent or more beyond the performance afforded by the new servers.

Though prizeWise is working toward a seamless switchover Tuesday morning, management requests user patience during the exchange. If problems arise, prizeWise's database and programming team will assist the staff at the co-location facility.

21st Century Technologies is a Business Development Company, operated pursuant to the Investment Companies Act of 1940. It holds various enterprises as investments and seeks to grow companies in which it has an interest.

(Hmmm. The asterisks mean the software here is blocking "prize wise net work". That's odd...)

21st Century's prizeWise Confirms Servers Online, Optimization Underway

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 2, 2004--21st Century Technologies, Inc.'s (OTC:BB TFCT.OB) portfolio investment company, prizeWise, Inc. announced today that its new server cluster was successfully installed Wednesday evening.

Though the switchover caused scattered incidents where the Web site was unavailable, none of the occurrences disabled the site for extended periods of time.

Steve Rinehart, president of prizeWise, said that this is "the first in several steps prizeWise is taking to optimize the site and increase its usability.

"We're also reprogramming the site in ASP.Net, which will free up server resources and significantly reduce page load times," he continued.

The updated code will be placed on the Web site piece by piece as it is developed and tested by prizeWise programmers. Once completed, the optimization is expected to increase site performance by 200 - 500%.

LAS VEGAS, Sep 13, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 21st Century Technologies, Inc.'s (OTC:BB TFCT.OB) portfolio investment company, Trident Technologies, Inc. announced today that the Panama Canal Authority made a significant purchase from the company last week.

The purchase included three ProMag and six Magnetic Patching Kits - the largest standard system offered by Trident - and is the Authority's fourth purchase from Trident in four years.

Combined with earlier purchases, the Panama Canal Authority now has substantial capability to respond to multiple large leak circumstances.

Several years ago, a QuickFrame 2 unit was deployed, stopping a diesel leak on a ship passing through the canal lock system. The Canal Authority routinely uses Trident's magnetic patching kits in training to ensure that personnel have a working knowledge of system usage.

Trident has visited with Panama Canal Authority personnel at trade shows and EPA sponsored regional events over the years and maintains open channels of communication.

This recent purchase validates their long-standing satisfaction and belief in the value of Trident's systems.

SeaPatch and ProMag magnetic-powered quick-seal devices have been type-approved by the American Bureau of Shipping and are used during emergency response training at the Department of Transportation's Emergency Response School in Pueblo, Colo., the Louisiana Emergency Response Training Center and the Texas Engineering Extension Service.
