The shares have though responded little changed, still sub 3p - and having been 2.625p at the commencement of 2017. Hmmm…
A 1:30pm “Re: Contract” announcement from transport technology company 21st Century (C21). A cause for concern?...
21st Century Technology (C21) “is pleased to announce it has been awarded an important on-vehicle safety systems engineering contract with a major UK bus fleet operator worth just over £1m”. The shares have though responded slightly lower to 2.875p…
Fleet and passenger systems technology company 21st Century (C21) has announced results for the first half of 2017 emphasising “significant improvement”. So why are the shares approaching 4% lower following the announcement, at 3.25p?...

Fleet and passenger systems company 21st Century Technology (C21) has, tardily, announced results for the 2016 calendar year, though with CEO Russ Singleton emphasising “we made real strides last year with major framework renewals, organisational restructuring and innovative new sales”. Sounds promising. However...
I previously commented on 21st Century Technology (C21) “having admitted ‘liquidity issues’, it’s expensive debt ahoy (it hopes!)”. The company has today made “Contract Win” and “Directorate Change” announcements…
Previously writing on 21st Century Technology (C21), I stated caveat emptor with recent announcements looking like news flow ahead of attempted discounted fundraising ahoy. Today we have an announcement of “Debt Financing”…

Friday (15th April) at 2:24pm: “The board of 21st Century (C21) today provides the following trading update”. Hmmm. My guess is it ain’t gonna be good…
I woke up last night panicking that after staggering home from a boozy lunch with Lucian I had written a drunken piece laughing at all sorts of folks after Phorm admitted it was bust but that I had just written it becuase I felt like it not because it was true. Imagine my relief to discover that it was in fact true and with hindsight I think I write jolly well when drunk. Perhaps we should have a writing contest myself & Paul Scott both drunk vs two boring sober bastards. I digress. I look at BP and executive pay and unable to resist poking some fun at the ghastly Nicola Horlick and dreadful Channel 4 News. I look at 21st Century Technology ( C21), Gulf Keystone (GKP), Strat Aero (AERO), Grand Group (GIPO)) and 88 Energy (88E) where Lucian is short. In a sort of flashback I recall our discussion yesterday on 88 and recount it.
Transport technology services provider 21st Century Technology (C21) sees ‘a raft of new acquisition opportunities’, in the wake of clinching two useful new contracts worth £600,000, declares chief executive Russ Singleton. He says the Croydon-based company, a specialist in supplying Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and monitoring systems for transport operators which transformed itself in April with the £1.3 million acquisition of RSL Group, market leader in public information systems for bus travel, still wants ‘to broaden our portfolio to provide an integrated service to customers at much lower cost than existing providers.’
