form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

/X/  (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report
on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof, will be
filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due

PART III -- NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be
filed within the prescribed time period.

On March 28, 2001, Tri-National Development Corp. (the "Company") entered
into agreements with Senior Care Industries, Inc., a publicly-listed Nevada
corporation ("Senior Care"), to sell certain real estate assets of the
Company for a combination of cash, assumed debt and convertible preferred
stock.  Senior Care claims the purchase of the assets became effective on
April 30, 2001.

Subsequently, on May 22, 2001, Senior Care Industries, Inc. filed an
initial Form TO-T with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission making
and elaborating an offer to buy up to 51% of the outstanding common stock
of Tri-National Development Corp. (OTC BB:TNAV).  Said Form is incorporated
by reference herein.  The stock of both companies is traded on the Over the
Counter Bulletin Board.

The Company has spent an enormous amount of accounting and legal resources
on the negotiation and compilation of the contracts for the sale of the
above referenced real estate assets to Senior Care and the review of the
subsequent Form TO.  This has resulted in the Company requiring additional
time to complete the audit for the year ending April 30, 2001, and the
filing of the Company's year end financial statements on Form 10K-SB.


The Company expects to file the audited financial statements for the year
ending April 30, 2001 no later than August 14, 2001.
