21st Century Technologies Announces Programming Initiative for prizeWise.com
Wednesday December 29, 3:44 pm ET


LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 29, 2004--21st Century Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:TFCT - News) today announced that its portfolio company, prizeWise Inc., has initiated a new programming initiative for prizeWise.com which includes additional back-end support and the goal of creating a faster and more secure site.
As part of the recent buy out of minority shareholders, 21st Century Technologies recently assisted the prizeWise team in adding a new lead developer and a database programmer to supplement the work performed by the company's original development partner.

"The founders did a great job getting the site off the ground, helping establish a strong brand and really bringing this idea to light. Now, we have hired strong individuals with enterprise-level experience and given them the task of taking the site to the next level," said John Dumble, president/CEO of 21st Century Technologies.

The development team has outlined the following priorities for its forward movement:

1. Web site security (an evaluation and modification of site and

payment gateway systems).

2. Immediate bug fixes (certain links and features will be

upgraded to meet current requirements).

3. Database optimization (the databases will be restructured and

architected for enterprise-level activity).

4. Process evaluation, documentation, and modification (each line

of code in the site will be evaluated and optimized, if

needed).

5. Feature development and implementation.

6. Ongoing maintenance and development.

"For the next several weeks, we are not expecting to see new features being rolled out on the site, but we should see an increase in security, usability, and speed. We have anticipated these modifications for quite a while, but are committed to releasing information to our shareholders only after we are certain that we can deliver," Dumble added.

prizeWise.com (http://www.prizeWise.com) is a site that retails coupons and valuable offers from nearly 1,000 national and local companies with an option offered to purchasers to receive tickets to enter sweepstakes contests on the Web site. prizeWise.com is currently conducting over 3,800 live sweepstakes on the site. The public is invited to watch a brief tutorial about the site at http://www.prizeWise.com/huh.asp and browse the Web site without obligation.
