Exhibit 99.1

     TriTeal Corp. Announces Termination of SEC Investigation


    SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 2003--TriTeal Corp. (the
"company") (PinkSheets:TEAL) announced today that the Securities and
Exchange Commission has terminated its investigation into matters
concerning the restatement of the company's financial statements for
fiscal years ending March 31, 1996 and 1997 and quarters ending June
30, 1997 and Sept. 30, 1997, and that no enforcement action has been
recommended.
    The company will now proceed to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval
of a record date for a pro-rata cash distribution to holders of the
company's Common Stock. Pursuant to the company's Plan of Liquidation,
which was approved Dec. 7, 1999 by the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of California, holders of the company's
Common Stock will be entitled to receive a pro-rata distribution of
remaining cash after all claims and expenses have been resolved and
paid in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. In order to receive
such pro-rata distribution, each owner of the company's Common Stock
will be required to surrender his/her stock certificates evidencing
such ownership of the company's Common Stock.
    The company estimates that the final cash distribution will range
from $0.41 to $0.46 per share of Common Stock; however, at this time,
the actual timing and amount of such distribution remains
undetermined.

    Forward Looking Statements

    In addition to historical information, the statements set forth
above include forward-looking statements (including, without
limitation the anticipated amount of the final distribution) that
involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These
risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks inherent in
estimation processes utilized in formulating the anticipated
distribution amount and uncertainty regarding the timing of the
distribution.
