21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BASIS OF PRESENTATION 21st Century Technologies, Inc. ("21st" or the "Company" or "we" or "us" or "our") is a solutions-focused financial services company that provides financing and advisory services to companies throughout the United States. The Company is an internally managed, closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company did not elect to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code with the filing of our corporate income tax return for 2003. Interim financial statements of 21st are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods, have been included. The current period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim unaudited financial statements and notes thereto, which have been reviewed by our independent accountants, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, as filed with the SEC. The accompanying financial statements reflect the accounts of 21st Century Technologies, Inc., and the related results of operations. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company does not consolidate portfolio company investments in which the Company has a controlling interest. NOTE 2. INVESTMENTS 21st Century changed to a Business Development Company, effective October 1, 2003. Therefore, the prior periods are no longer directly comparable and we have chosen to compare our investment growth with the most directly comparable period. As of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, investments consisted of the following:
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 ___________________________ ___________________________ COST FAIR VALUE Cost Fair Value ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ Commercial loans $ 3,297,619 $ 3,302,993 $ 1,692,645 $ 1,692,645 Investments in equity securities 6,593,695 10,076,800 5,625,000 6,430,000 Investments in and advances to Portfolio Companies 7,992,925 2,853,300 6,467,320 2,316,430 ___________________________ ___________________________ Total $17,884,239 $16,233,093 $13,784,965 $10,439,075 =========================== ===========================
21st's customer base includes primarily small- and medium-sized private companies in various industry sectors. The proceeds of the loans to these companies are generally used for buyouts, growth, acquisitions, liquidity, refinancings and restructurings. In addition, we may occasionally make loans to individuals who are principals in these companies where the proceeds are used for or in connection with the operations or capitalization of such companies. The company's loans generally have stated maturities at origination that range from 3 months to 5 years. Customers typically pay an origination fee based on a percentage of the commitment amount. They also often pay a management advisory fee. At September 30, 2004, some loans had associated equity interests or other provisions designed to provide the Company with an enhanced internal rate of return. These equity and equity-like instruments generally do not produce a current return, but are held for potential investment appreciation and capital gains. In some cases, some or all of the deferred interest may be exchanged as the exercise price for the option to purchase warrants. The equity interests and warrants and options to purchase warrants often include registration rights, which allow 21st to register the securities after public offerings. The composition of 21st's portfolio of publicly and non-publicly traded investments as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 at cost and fair value was as follows excluding unearned income:

CONTINGENCIES On February 20, 2004, in Case No. 02-1927 RGK, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, in a case styled Bike Doctor, a California Partnership -vs- 21st Century Technologies, Inc., Kenneth E. Wilson and Scott Sheppard, a judgment was entered against the Company for $145,000, together with interest and costs. The judgment arises out of a Motion for Summary Judgment filed by the Plaintiff. The Company has given notice of appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Counsel for the Company is reviewing the record to determine the efficacy of grounds for appeal. We have not accrued any loss accrual due to the appeals process, because in the opinion of management, the loss is not probable. From time to time, we may also be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including disputes under contracts. While the outcome of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations. NOTE 5. WRITE OFF OF NON PRODUCTIVE INVESTMENTS During the third quarter, it was determined that Credit Card Financial Corporation, American Impersonators, Inc. and Prime Time, Inc. were no longer viable entities. Therefore, the investment in these three corporations was written off against income in this quarter. NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to the date of these financials, the first payment was made to Patricia Wilson which reduced the outstanding amount of the Settlement. The balance of the settlement will be paid in varying installments which continue through April 1, 2009. Subsequent to the date of these financials, the first installment totaling $345,454.54 of the $950,000.00 commitment to prizeWize.com was paid. The next installment is due January 17, 2005 in the amount of $302,272.73 with a final payment of $302,272.73 due on April 17, 2005. The initial payment increased our ownership position to 57.8%. Payment of the additional two installments will increase 21st Century's ownership to 70%. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT Board of Directors and Stockholders 21st Century Technologies, Inc. Las Vegas, NV We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of 21st Century Technologies, Inc. as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Turner, Stone & Company LLP Certified Public Accountants Dallas, Texas November 5, 2004 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data, the Selected Operating Data and our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This Quarterly Report, including the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions.

OVERVIEW 21st Century Technologies, Inc. is a solutions-focused financial services company providing financing and advisory services to small and medium-sized companies throughout the United States. Effective October 1, 2003, we became an internally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 21st Century Technologies, Inc. will not elect to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code with the filing of its federal corporate income tax return for 2003. PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION AND ASSET QUALITY Our primary business is lending to and investing in businesses, primarily in the financial services, and technology industry sectors, through investments in senior debt, subordinated debt and equity-based investments, including warrants and equity appreciation rights. Though we intend to increase our level of subordinated debt and equity-based investments, we expect a substantial majority of our portfolio will continue to consist of investments in portfolio companies. The total fair value of investments in non-publicly traded securities was $17,075,141 and $10,439,075 at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively (exclusive of unearned income). The following table summarizes 21st's assets held and income from Majority Owned Companies, Controlled Companies and Other Affiliates: SEPTEMBER 30, December 31, 2004 2003 _____________ ____________ ASSETS HELD: Majority Owned Companies (a): Investments in and advances to 2,853,300 2,316,430 Controlled Companies (b): Other Affiliates (c): Loans at fair value 3,302,993 1,692,645 Equity Investments at fair value 10,076,800 6,430,000 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPT 30, 2004 2003 INCOME RECOGNIZED: From Majority Owned Companies (a): Interest and fee income $ 526,311 $ 158,168 From Controlled Companies (b): From Other Affiliates (c): Interest and fee income 1,125,000 1,000,000 Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments 300,000 868,000 Realized losses on investments -- -- (a) Majority owned companies are generally defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as companies in which 21st Century owns more than 50% of the voting securities of the company. (b) Controlled companies are generally defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as companies in which 21st Century owns more than 25% but not more than 50% of the voting securities of the company. (c) Other affiliates are generally defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as companies in which 21st Century owns at least 5% but not more than 25% of the voting securities of the company. ASSET QUALITY Asset quality is generally a function of our underwriting and ongoing management of our investment portfolio. As a business development company, our loans and equity investments are carried at market value or, in the absence of market value, at fair value as determined by our board of directors in good faith on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, unrealized depreciation on investments totaled $1,651,146 and $3,345,891, respectively. For additional information on the change in unrealized depreciation on investments, see the section entitled "Reconciliation of Net Operating Income to Net Increase (Decrease) in Stockholders' Equity from Earnings". We monitor loan concentrations in our portfolio, both on an individual loan basis and on a sector or industry basis, to manage overall portfolio performance due to specific customer issues or specific industry issues. We monitor individual customer's financial trends in order to assess the appropriate course of action with respect to each customer and to evaluate overall portfolio quality. We closely monitor the status and performance of each individual investment on a quarterly and, in some cases, a monthly or more frequent basis. Because we are a provider of long-term privately negotiated investment capital to growth-oriented companies and we actively manage our investments through our contract structure, we do not believe that contract exceptions such as breaches of contractual covenants or late delivery of financial statements are necessarily an indication of deterioration in the credit quality or the need to pursue remedies or an active workout of a portfolio investment. When a loan becomes 90 days or more past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the customer to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will, as a general matter, place the loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal has been paid. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the investment is well secured and in the process of collection. As of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, none of the loans to our other affiliates were on non-accrual status. When principal and interest on a loan is not paid within the applicable grace period, we will contact the customer for collection. At that time, we will make a determination as to the extent of the problem, if any. We will then pursue a commitment for immediate payment and will begin to more actively monitor the investment. We will formulate strategies to optimize the resolution process and will begin the process of restructuring the investment to better reflect the current financial performance of the customer. Such a restructuring may involve deferring payments of principal and interest, adjusting interest rates or warrant positions, imposing additional fees, amending financial or operating covenants or converting debt to equity. In general, in order to compensate us for any enhanced risk, we receive appropriate compensation from the customer in connection with a restructuring. During the process of monitoring a loan that is out of compliance, we will in appropriate circumstances send a notice of non-compliance outlining the specific defaults that have occurred and preserving our remedies, and initiate a review of the collateral. When a restructuring is not the most appropriate course of action, we may determine to pursue remedies available under our loan documents or at law to minimize any potential losses, including initiating foreclosure and/or liquidation proceedings. OPERATING INCOME Operating income includes interest income on commercial loans, advisory fees and other income. Interest income is comprised of commercial loan interest at contractual rates and upfront fees that are amortized into income over the life of the loan. Most of our loans contain lending features that adjust the rate margin based on the financial and operating performance of the borrower, which generally occurs quarterly. The change in operating income from the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2004 is attributable to the following items: (Due to the conversion to a Business Development Company, effective October 1, 2003, the periods are not directly comparable.) NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 __________________ CHANGE DUE TO: Asset growth $14,779,917 Increase in fee income 1,125,000 Interest and other income 526,311 Manufacturing income 0 ___________ Total change in operating income $ 1,184,261 =========== Total operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased $1,184,261, or 354%, to $1,651,311 from $467,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased $396,951, or 383%, to $537,078 from $140,127 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses include interest expense on borrowings, including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, employee compensation, and general and administrative expenses. The change in operating expenses from the nine months September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2004 is attributable to the following items: NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 VS. 2003 ___________________________ CHANGE DUE TO: Advertising & Selling (40,875) Interest Expense 15,084 Depreciation & Amortization (155,730) Salaries and benefits 263,868 General and administrative expense (310,283) __________ Total change in operating expense $ (227,935) ========== Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased $227,935 to $1,392,217 from $1,620,152 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. General and administrative expenses decreased $310,283 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to higher expenses related to operating our Haltom City facility and moving the corporate offices to Las Vegas, Nevada. Total operating expenses decreased $190,923 to $549,578 for the 3 months ended September 30, 2004, from $740,051 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. NET OPERATING INCOME Net operating income/loss before investment gains and losses (NOI) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 totaled 259,094 compared with a loss of $(1,517,186) for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. NET INVESTMENT GAINS AND LOSSES There were no realized gains or losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $(1,694,745) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 consisted of $2,276,425 of net appreciation less $581,680 advanced to controlled companies. The appreciation is related to additional equity interest granted and an increase in the valuation of TransOne, Inc. (a provider of debit card services with major contracts in process). INCOME TAXES We are taxed under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code. We did not elect to be a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code with the filing of our federal corporate income tax return for 2003. NET INCOME Net income (loss) totaled $(4,383,106) and $(2,149,291)for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $(706,625) and ($1,615,527) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND CASH, SECURITIZATION ACCOUNTS At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, we had $1,100,135 and $1,796,294, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. Our objective is to maintain sufficient cash on hand to cover current funding requirements and operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We expect our cash on hand, future equity offerings, and cash generated from operations to be adequate to meet our cash needs at our current level of operations. We generally fund new originations using cash on hand, borrowings under our credit facilities and equity financings. During the third quarter of 2004, the Company raised $1,440,000 by selling 80,000,000 shares of common stock issued under Regulation E. BORROWINGS At September 30, 2004, we had aggregate outstanding borrowings of $1,724,144. At December 31, 2003, we had aggregate outstanding borrowings of $2,005,224. See Note 3 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of our borrowings. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations. INCOME RECOGNITION Interest on commercial loans is computed by methods that generally result in level rates of return on principal amounts outstanding. When a loan becomes 90 days or more past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the customer to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will, as a general matter, place the loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal has been paid. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the investment is well secured and in the process of collection. In accordance with GAAP, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contractual payment-in-kind (PIK) interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term. We currently do not have any interest income of this nature, but we may during future periods. Loan origination fees are deferred and amortized as adjustments to the related loan's yield over the contractual life of the loan. In certain loan arrangements, warrants or other equity interests are received from the borrower as additional origination fees. The borrowers granting these interests are typically non-publicly traded companies. We record the financial instruments received at estimated fair value as determined by our board of directors. Fair values are determined using various valuation models which attempt to estimate the underlying value of the associated entity. These models are then applied to our ownership share considering any discounts for transfer restrictions or other terms which impact the value. Changes in these values are recorded through our statement of operations. Any resulting discount on the loan from recordation of warrant and other equity instruments are accreted into income over the term of the loan. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS At September 30, 2004, approximately 80% of our total assets represented investments recorded at fair value. Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of 1940 Act, is (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available and (ii) for all other securities and assets, fair value is as determined in good faith by the board of directors. Since there is typically no readily ascertainable market value for the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors pursuant to a valuation policy and a consistent valuation process. Because of the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily ascertainable market value, the fair value of our investments determined in good faith by the board of directors may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the differences could be material. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment. Unlike banks, we are not permitted to provide a general reserve for anticipated loan losses. Instead, we must determine the fair value of each individual investment on a quarterly basis. We will record unrealized depreciation on investments when we believe that an investment has become impaired, including where collection of a loan or realization of an equity security is doubtful. Conversely, we will record unrealized appreciation if we believe that the underlying portfolio company has appreciated in value and, therefore, our investment has also appreciated in value, where appropriate. As a business development company, we invest primarily in illiquid securities including debt and equity securities of private companies. The structure of each debt and equity security is specifically negotiated to enable us to protect our investment and maximize our returns. We generally include many terms governing interest rate, repayment terms, prepayment penalties, financial covenants, operating covenants, ownership parameters, dilution parameters, liquidation preferences, voting rights, and put or call rights. Our investments are generally subject to some restrictions on resale and generally have no established trading market. Because of the type of investments that we make and the nature of our business, our valuation process requires an analysis of various factors. Our fair value methodology includes the examination of, among other things, the underlying investment performance, financial condition and market changing events that impact valuation. AT DECEMBER 31, 2003, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTED TO EMPLOY INDEPENDENT BUSINESS VALUATION CONSULTANTS TO PROVIDE A VALUATION OF OUR EXISTING PORTFOLIO COMPANIES AND CERTAIN OTHER INVESTMENTS. SAID VALUATIONS WERE ACCEPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND WERE UTILIZED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2003 AND IN THESE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. DUE TO INCREASED CONTRACTS OUTSTANDING, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTED TO REQUEST A MID-YEAR RE-VALUATION OF TRANSONE, INC. THIS VALUATION WAS PERFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT OUTSIDE VALUATION CONSULTANT AND RESULTED IN AN INCREASED VALUATION OF THIS INVESTMENT. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REVIEWS THE VALUATION OF EACH INVESTMENT ON A QUARTERLY BASIS. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2003, THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN VALUES OTHER THAN AN INCREASED INVESTMENT IN TRANSONE, INC. PRIZEWISE, TRIDENT, AND THE OTHER INVESTMENTS WILL BE EVALUATED AT DECEMBER 31, 2004 TO REFLECT INCREASES IN INVESTMENT AS WELL AS INCREASE/DECREASE VALUE. VALUATION OF LOANS AND DEBT SECURITIES As a general rule, we do not value our loans or debt securities above cost, but loans and debt securities will be subject to fair value write-downs when the asset is considered impaired. In many cases, our loan agreements allow for increases in the spread to the base index rate if the financial or operational performance of the customer deteriorates or shows negative variances from the customer's business plan and, in some cases, allow for decreases in the spread if financial or operational performance improves or exceeds the customer's plan. VALUATION OF EQUITY SECURITIES With respect to private equity securities, each investment is valued using industry valuation benchmarks, and then the value is assigned a discount reflecting the illiquid nature of the investment, as well as our minority, non-control position. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering, or subsequent equity sale occurs, the pricing indicated by the external event will be used to corroborate our private equity valuation. Securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange generally will be valued at the prevailing bid price on the valuation date. However, restricted and unrestricted publicly traded securities may be valued at discounts from the public market value due to restrictions on sale, the size of our investment or market liquidity concerns. RECENT DEVELOPMENT The first payment in settlement of the Patricia Wilson judgment was made subsequent to these financial statements. The balance of the settlement amount will be paid in varying installments and will be completed on April 1, 2009. The first installment of the $950,000.00 commitment to PrizeWise.com has been made subsequent to the date of these financial statements. Payment of the first installment increased 21st Century's ownership position to approximately 60%. Payment of the remaining two installments will increase the ownership position to 70%. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from the changes in the level of interest rates. Our net interest income can be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR, prime rates and commercial paper rates. As a business development company, we use a greater portion of equity to fund our business. Accordingly, other things being equal, increases in interest rates will result in greater increases in our net interest income and reductions in interest rates will result in greater decreases in our net interest income compared with the effects of interest rate changes on our results under more highly leveraged capital structures. Currently, we do not engage in hedging activities because we have determined that the cost of hedging the risks associated with interest rate changes outweighs the risk reduction benefit. We monitor this position on an ongoing basis. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, 21st carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of 21st's management, including 21st's Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of 21st's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that 21st's current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to 21st that is required to be disclosed in 21st's SEC filings. (b) There have not been any significant changes in the internal controls of 21st or other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On September 5, 2001, Patricia Wilson, a former officer, director and employee of the Company, filed suit against the Company and directors Ken Wilson, Jim Mydlach and Dave Gregor. The suit arose out of Ms. Wilson's termination as an officer and director of the company on August 31, 2001. The causes of action asserted against the Defendants include breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, defamation and negligent investigation. The Petition seeks actual damages of $500,000.00, exemplary damages of $10,000,000, and 9,000,000 shares of Company stock. A further discussion of the litigation was included in the Company's Form 8- K filed as of September 26, 2001. On August 23, 2004, a jury found in favor of Mrs. Wilson and awarded judgments as follows: $6,329,173.17 against 21st Century; $637,723.16 jointly against 21st Century and Ken Wilson; and $115,099.32 against Ken Wilson, individually . Directors Mydlach, Gregor, and Rausch were released from the lawsuit. The Company and Ms. Wilson reached a settlement agreement on September 30, 2004, the terms of which are confidential. The settlement agreement did not relieve Ken Wilson of his individual liability under the judgment. Daniel Brailey, Richard Grob and James Mydlach sued 21st Century Technologies, Inc. in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada. The case arose generally out of an alleged breach of contract. An agreement was reached in July of 2004, the terms of which were confidential. The costs associated with this settlement were not material to these financial statements. We may also be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including disputes under contracts. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS A form 1-E filing was made on August 26, 2004 which indicated the beginning a $5,000,000 capital raise under regulation E. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES Not Applicable. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS On September 30, 2004, the Company filed a PRE 14C notifying stockholders of a special meeting to be held on October 29, 2004. The DEF 14C was filed on October 11, 2004. The purpose of the meeting was to vote to authorize two billion shares of Common Stock of the Company and to authorize the Company's Board of Directors, without consent of the stockholders of the Corporation, to adopt any recapitalization affecting the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation by effecting a forward or reverse split of all of the outstanding shares of any class of capital stock of the corporation, with appropriate adjustments to the corporation's capital account, provided that the recapitalization does not require any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation. Only shareholders' of record on October 1, 2004 were entitled to vote at this meeting. No proxies were requested since the principal shareholders who collectively represent 612,000,000 shares or 54% of the 1,130,686,999 voting shares outstanding on October 1, 2004 were either present or voted in absentia. All of the principal shareholders voted in favor of the proposal. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION Not Applicable. ITEM 6.
