21st Century Holding Company operates as an insurance holding company operating in the United States. The company's activities include insurance underwriting, distribution and claims processing. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries the company underwrites homeowners' property, casualty insurance, commercial general liability insurance, and personal automobile insurance. The company markets and distributes its own and third-party products and services primarily in Florida, through a network of independent and general agents.

In July, 2007 the company was sued for touting its financial state and announcement of false and misleading operating results.

For the last quarter ended September 30, 2007, the company's revenue decreased 14% from previous quarter and totaled at $29.5 million. The resulting net income was $1.87 million - 82% less than previous quarter. The stockholder equity however increased 6% from previous quarter and was $79.1 million.

The company operates in highly competitive markets. There is a strong competition from national, regional and residual market insurance companies. This might have an effect on company's performance as the last quarter's results are alarming.

On the yearly pattern the company shows rather stable growth in revenues over the last 3 years. The trend however might not continue as the company faces new problems. It has recently appointed a new chief operating officer which will surely make an impact on the company's performance in the future.
