RESIGNATION OF REGISTRANT'S DIRECTORS Chief Financial Officer of Tri-National, Gilbert Fuentes has elected to retire just prior to his 70th birthday. Mr. Fuentes originally signed on as CFO and Treasurer with the Company for a five-year contract, which is now completed. Mr. Fuentes has been a valuable addition to the management team for the last five years and he will be sorely missed as an every day participant. He will, however, continue to consult on an as needed basis, until a replacement can be determined. He has also agreed to help train his replacement once an individual has been identified and accepted the position. With the Company's current state of affairs, it is not anticipated that the search will begin immediately. Mr. Fuentes has decided to return to his native country to pursue his many hobbies and spend more time with family in Mexico. We all wish him well and thank him for his tireless support SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
