The report on Form 10-QSB will be filed on or before May 21, 2001. The Company has recently acquired 3 companies. Each company was a private entity, and each had its own accountants. The Company's accountants had to instruct each of the said companies' accountants so all statements were received in a common format suitable for consolidation and the preparation of financial statements for the Company. This could not be done in time for submission on May 15, 2001, the date the quarterly report would normally be submitted. The Company's management does not believe it can complete the evaluation and adequately disclose the financial impact of these acquisitions prior to the deadline for filing the report. As a result of the foregoing, the March 31, 2001 quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for Trident Systems International, Inc. is not yet completed and cannot be completed by the required filing date without unreasonable cost and effort.

If the answer is no, identify report(s). NO. The annual report on Form 10-KSB was delayed due to a change in management and the review of all financial information by the new management.

No. Trident Systems International, Inc. has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
