Item 1. Description of Business
Tri-National Development Corp. ("TND" or the "Company") was incorporated on
July 31, 1979 as Rocket Energy Resources Ltd. under the laws of the
Province of British Columbia, Canada by registration of its Memorandum and
Articles. The Company changed its name to MRI Medical Technologies, Inc.
in April of 1989. On December 7, 1992, the Company changed its name to
Tri-National Development Corp. on the basis of five (5) common shares of
MRI Medical Technologies, Inc. for (1) common share of Tri-National
Development Corp. The shareholders of the Company approved a resolution to
change the corporate domicile from British Columbia, Canada to the State of
Wyoming at the Annual General Meeting held on January 20, 1997.
Tri-National Development Corp. ("TND") is a publicly traded corporation
which develops, sells and manages real estate projects in the U.S., Canada
and Mexico. TND's present projects are:
TND/MEDICAL INTERNATIONAL, INC. - a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, was
formed to acquire, develop and/or manage medically related businesses. The
initial geographic region for this company to focus on will be California
and Baja California, Mexico. TND/Medical International, Inc. has acquired
an existing entity in California, the Greater San Diego Imaging Center,
described below.
THE GREATER SAN DIEGO IMAGING CENTER - has provided magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) services in the San Diego area since 1990. The Company has
acquired the assets of the Greater San Diego Imaging Center, including the
Fonar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, the space lease,
goodwill, including the name and other assets. This facility, with build
outs, was originally financed for $2.5 million. The equipment has a
current appraisal of $1.2 million and tenant improvements of $241,000. An
"open unit" upgrade was recently completed for claustrophobic and large
patients, which gives the Company the only open unit MRI facility in San
Diego, California.
The closing on this facility occurred in November of 1996 for a combination
of cash and stock for $600,000. The Company provided the 857,142 shares in
the capital of the Company for the stock portion of the acquisition and
First Colonial Ventures, Ltd., a Nevada publicly traded company, is
providing the cash portion. First Colonial Ventures, Ltd. is to receive
one third of TND/Medical International, Inc. for its contribution. In
December of 1996, the Company acquired an additional $102,177 in accounts
receivable for 291,935 common shares.
TRI-NATIONAL MEDICAL MANAGEMENT, INC. - Tri-National Development Corp. has
a 39% interest in this Vancouver, B.C. company. Tri-National Medical
Management, Inc. was incorporated to establish and manage diagnostic
imaging centers and other medical facilities in various areas of Canada.
This company is still in its development stage and expects its first
operations in 1997.
MRI MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS, INC. - is an Over the Counter Bulletin Board
listed company under the symbol, MRMD. This company emerged from
bankruptcy in January of 1996 and as part of its Reorganization Plan, TND
received 5.9 million common shares (which represents almost 25% of the
total outstanding) in exchange for a $2.9 million claim against the estate
and 1.4 million common shares for reimbursement of ongoing expenses. The
Board of Directors of MRI Medical Diagnostics, Inc. are currently reviewing
various
3
acquisition targets in the medical industry. The stock has been trading
under $.10 per share for the past several months.
As a result of the Reorganization Plan, the Company also acquired all of
the common stock of MRI Grand Terrace, Inc. MRI Grand Terrace, Inc. was
originally a joint venture between MRI Medical Diagnostics, Inc. and the
Company and previously owned the Grand Terrace Retirement Hotel. This
hotel is an 87 room retirement facility located in San Bernardino,
California. The sole asset of this corporation is a lawsuit against Chino
Valley Bank, the seller of the retirement hotel. The litigation involves
a claim by MRI Grand Terrace, Inc. and the joint venture partners that the
seller bank did not disclose the existence of an encroachment which
hindered the build out and use of the property. Consequently, MRI Grand
Terrace, Inc., the hotel, went into foreclosure and MRI Medical
Diagnostics, Inc. and the Company instituted the litigation seeking several
million dollars in damages. Chino Valley Bank has answered the suit and
there can be no assurance that the Company will benefit in any fashion from
the outcome of the litigation.
HILLS OF BAJAMAR - TND currently owns 100% of Planificacion Desarollos de
Jatay, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation, having executed a contract to
acquire this entity for a combination of cash and stock from Pacific
Medical International, Inc., which was formed for the sole purpose of
owning and developing the Hills of Bajamar, formerly known as, the Santa Fe
Ranch. The Hills of Bajamar is an approximate 1,000 hectare (roughly 2,500
acre)parcel of real property located in the Municipality of Ensenada, on
the Pacific Ocean side of Baja, Mexico, 50 miles south of San
Diego,California.
Planificacion Desarollos de Jatay, S.A. de C.V. Inc. has succeeded to a
land purchase contract which provides for an overall purchase price of
$6,000,000 for the 2,500 acres ($2,400 per acre). The terms for the
remaining balance of $4,800,000 are $600,000 per year for 8 years. There
is no interest until the sixth year, when interest on the remaining balance
begins at 6% per annum. Planificacion has title to 237 acres and is
currently taking title to 247 additional acres.
The property is located in the region that has become known as "the Gold
Coast" because of the current and planned developments. Bajamar (see
below), a 1,600 acre master-planned oceanfront resort, is located directly
across the highway from the property. Bajamar is currently owned by
Desarrollos Urbanos Baja California, S.A. de C.V., whose largest
shareholder is Grupo Situr, the largest resort developer in Mexico and the
owner of the Kona Kai Hotel in San Diego. Bajamar consists of 1,600 acres,
which include 27 holes of championship golf, 81 room hotel with land set
aside for an additional 9 holes of golf, additional hotel, condominiums and
luxury family homes. Grupo Situr was in the process of an announced
$100,000,000 in improvements.
TND entered into escrow in June of 1996 to purchase the Bajamar Golf
Courses, 81 room hotel, clubhouse with restaurant, tennis courts, driving
range and approximately 300 acres of assorted residential properties on the
golf courses amounting to $39,500,000. The escrow, which had an original
expected closing by October 5, 1996, has been mutually extended.
The properties in escrow are in addition to a timeshare and commercial
property at Bajamar, which the Company is acquiring for a combination of
cash and stock. The timeshare and commerical property is on a bluff
overlooking both golf courses and the Pacific Ocean with a purchase price
of $13,279,055, and is approved for 326 timeshare units and 26,000 square
feet of retail facilities.

The region caters primarily to Southern California travelers already
visiting Baja California, and provides an alternative attraction for the
snowbirds visiting Palm Springs, Phoenix and Las Vegas. Where these desert
communities are only viable six months of the year due to extreme heat in
the summer, Baja California offers a year round temperate climate averaging
75 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, Baja California offers the amenities
available from its oceanfront location including fishing, sailing,
swimming, surfing and other water sports, a competitive advantage that
desert communities cannot provide. Each month more than 2 million visitors
cross the border into Baja California for recreation and shopping,
including 500,000 people that cross for work and business. To further
enhance this region, there are two international airports located within a
60 minute drive of the property.
As indicated, the Hills of Bajamar was purchased for $2,400 per acre ($.60
per sq. meter). The purchase terms were negotiated in 1991 prior to four
events. The four events were: (1) the passage of NAFTA; (2) the
liberalization of foreign ownership of land in Mexico; (3) the California
Department of Real Estate issuing a decree that the advertisement in
California for sale of foreign homes and land is no longer subject to their
jurisdiction; and (4) the mega-developments in the area. A bank appraisal
in 1996 showed the property valued in excess of $60,000 per acre or
$30,000,000 for the 500 acres Planificacion Desarrollos de Jatay, S.A. de
C.V. is currently taking title.
Other new developments in the region include: (1) a $200 million plan to
privatize and expand the port of Ensenada, which is planned to include a 70
mile railroad link to the United States, Baja California's first container-
handling facility, and a new passenger cruise ship terminal, which is
already under construction; (2) a $400 million power plant that will
generate 440 megawatts, enough to power one million homes, to be built in
the Rosarito and Ensenada area; (3) the possible legislation of casino
gaming will be a tremendous windfall for the Mexican economy and the Baja
California coast; (4) construction is under way on Puerto Salina, a
reported $150 million, 600-boat marina that is located just one mile north
of the Hills of Bajamar or 46 nautical miles south of San Diego; (5) Beacon
Studios, a Canadian movie production company, in conjunction with Fox
Studios, has built a movie studio located on a 150-acre site just north of
the Hills of Bajamar with a project cost in excess of $55 million for the
filming of the movie, the Titanic.
LAS VEGAS HOTEL, CASINO AND TIME SHARE COMPLEX - On August 31, 1996, the
Company entered into a Letter of Intent with a Nevada holding corporation,
SW Holding Corporation, to acquire a hotel, casino and time share complex
on five acres in Las Vegas, Nevada. The hotel has a guaranteed net income
of at least $1.2 million annually against 25% of sales from the operator.
The acquisition price was $19,000,000 to be paid in cash and stock.
Mortgages and equity valued at $8,000,000 held by the seller will be
exchanged for 2,000,000 shares of the Company's preferred convertible
stock. This transaction is subject to completion of a placement of the
Company's preferred convertible stock. The Company retains a first right
of refusal on these same terms to further protect its interest. Financing
is also being sought to build an additional new high rise hotel and casino
tower, with 500 time share suites and a new 35,000 square foot casino. The
advantage to such an addition to the Company's base, will be to secure a
Nevada gaming license to compliment our resort properties in Baja,
California in the event that casino licenses are issued in Mexico.

Item 2. Plan of Operation
The Company plans to develop a 200 acre medical campus on its Hills of
Bajamar property, utilizing the attractiveness of the lower cost for
support available in Mexico, combined with the historic quality of medicine
in the United States, located just miles south of the San Diego-Baja,
California border. The target group for the Company's services would be
tourists and ex-patriots who presently must rely on the Mexican health care
system, which is designed primarily for Mexican Nationals. The Company's
medical campus would serve the 75,000 Americans in the region and the 2
million people crossing the border each month access to U.S. quality
healthcare. Additionally, Tri-National Development Corp. will be
developing an international retirement community at this site, which also
require the medical services. This facility is in addition to the planned
326 timeshare units at Bajamar that TND is to develop.
Tri-National Development Corp. plans to develop a 200+ acre medical campus
on the 500 acre parcel at the Hills of Bajamar. Tri-National Development
Corp. is to create the concept and develop the medical campus. The medical
campus is planned to consist of the following four components: (1) a
continuing medical educational facility; (2) a pharmaceutical research and
development center, allowing pharmaceutical companies to do clinical
studies with treatment not yet available in the U.S. due to delays and hold
backs from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); (3) an 80 to 100 bed
hospital; and (4) a 500,000 square foot year-round medical exhibition
center and merchandise mart for major manufacturers of medical equipment.
Discussions have also been held regarding the development of a Children's
Hospital accompanied by a Burn Unit, Urgent Care and Chemical Dependency
Treatment. The entire region will benefit from this new, state-of-the-art
hospital and medical facility.
Item 3. Properties
The Company leases 600 square feet of office space in Ensenada, Mexico for
$475 and 900 square feet of office space in San Diego, California for
$1,600.

Related Stockholder Matters
There is presently a public trading market for the Company's common equity.

Counter Bulletin Board. The following table sets forth the trading history:
1996 Quarter High Bid Low Bid
First $0.21 $0.18
Second $0.31 $0.25
Third $0.34 $0.25
Fourth $0.34 $0.25
Until March of 1994, the Company's common stock was traded on the Vancouver
Stock Exchange.
Of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company, roughly
2,500,000 outstanding shares are held by officers and directors of the
Company. These shares are available for sale in accordance with Rule 144.
Of the total issued and outstanding shares there are 749,483 Escrow Shares
held by the Company's transfer agent, Montreal Trust. Rule 144 provides, in
essence, that a
9
shareholder who is an affiliate of the Company, after holding restricted
securities for a period of one year, may every three months, sell them in
an unsolicited brokerage transaction in an amount equal to 1% of the
Company's outstanding common shares, or the average weekly trading volume,
if any, during the four weeks preceding the sale. Non-affiliated
shareholders holding restricted securities are not subject to the 1%
limitation and may sell unlimited amounts of shares they own, under certain
circumstances, after a one year holding period. If a substantial part of
the shares which can be sold were so sold, the price of the Company's
common shares might be adversely affected.
Holders.
The Company has approximately 716 registered holders of its common stock.
Of these, roughly 704 or 98% are residents in the United States.
Dividend Policy.
The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock,
and may elect to retain its net income in the future to increase its
capital base. The Company does not currently anticipate paying cash
dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.
Item 10. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In the last three years the Company has issued unregistered securities
through a Private Placement at $.28, a Private Placement at $.35 and a
Shares for Debt program at $.25, pursuant to Canadian exemptions. The sale
of units in both private placements were made almost entirely to existing
shareholders. The Shares for Debt were issued to companies and individuals
with monies owed by the Company.
Item 11. Description of Securities
Common Stock.
The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares
of common stock without par value. At April 30, 1997, there were
13,493,621 issued and outstanding common shares.
The common stock has full voting rights on all matters for which
shareholder approval is required or permitted.
The common stock does not possess any preferential right to dividends and
therefore is entitled to dividends only when and if dividends on such
common stock are declared by the Board of Directors, and only from funds
legally available therefore.
Upon liquidation of the Company, the holders of shares of common stock are
entitled to share pro-rata in any distribution to common stock holders.
There are no preemptive, conversion, or redemption privileges, nor sinking
fund provisions, with respect to the common stock. All of the outstanding
shares of the stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable. There are no restrictions on the alienability of the
securities being registered.
10
The holders of common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from
funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors of the Company; are entitled to shares ratably in all of the
assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of common stock
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company;
do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no
redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable thereto. Such shares are
entitled to one vote per share on all matters which stockholders may vote
on at all meetings of shareholders. All shares of common stock are fully
paid and nonassessable.
Non-Cumulative Voting.
The holders of shares of common stock of the Company do not have cumulative
voting rights. Thus, the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding
shares, voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors
to be elected, and in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will
not be able to elect any of the Company's directors.

Item 14. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure
During the Company's last five fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period, no independent accountant who was previously engaged as the
principal accountant to audit the Company's financial statements, resigned.
The Company's accountant's financial statements did not contain an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or modification. The decision to change
accountants was approved by the Board of Directors. There were no
disagreements with the prior accountant on any matter of accounting
principals or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope
or procedure. The change was a result of our need for a U.S. accountancy
firm familiar with U.S. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles).

TRI-NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORP.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1997
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Business Activity
Tri-National Development Corp. is a publicly traded international real
estate development and management company. The Company was incorporated on
July 31, 1979 as Rocket Energy Resources Ltd. under the laws of the
Province of British Columbia, Canada by registration of its Memorandum and
Articles. The Company changed its name to MRI Medical Technologies, Inc. in
April of 1989. On December 7, 1992, the Company changes its name to
Tri-National Development Corp. and recapitalized on the basis of five (5)
common shares of MRI Medical Technologies, Inc. for one (1) common share of
Tri-National Development Corp. In January of 1997, the Shareholders
approved a special resolution to change the corporate domicile from
Vancouver, B.C. to the state of Wyoming. On February 24, 1997, the
Company's Article of Continuation were accepted by the state of Wyoming and
it is now incorporated under the laws of the state of Wyoming. The Company
maintains its executive offices in San Diego, California at 480 Camino Del
Rio S. in Suite 140 and its telephone number is 619-718-6370.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greater San
Diego Imaging Center LLC, a subsidiary owned 2/3 by the Company. An offset
for the 1/3 minority interest held by First Colonial Ventures, Ltd. has
been provided for in the financial statements.
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the assets (five to seven years) using the
straight line method.
2. NOTES RECEIVABLE
On December 30, 1996, First Colonial Ventures, Ltd. signed a note to the
Company to purchase a 1/3 interest of Greater San Diego Imaging Center.
At April 30, 1997, the unpaid principal was $239,332. The note is due and
payable, together with interest, on December 31, 1997.
In March 1992, the Company advanced $383,064 to MRI Medical Diagnostics,
Inc. (MRI MD) to enable MRI Grand Terrace, Inc. (Grand Terrace) to acquire
a retirement hotel located in Grand Terrace, California. The loan was
evidenced by a 15% note receivable from MRIMD and a second trust deed and
an assignment of rents from MRI Grand Terrace, Inc. On March 22, 1993,
Grand Terrace filed a complaint against Chino Valley Bank, as a result of
the purchase of the residential retirement hotel in Grand Terrace from the
Chino Valley Bank. MRI claimed that the sellers of the property (Chino
Valley Bank) had failed to disclose that the property's parking lot
encroached on the property of the adjacent parcel of land. Grand Terrace
stopped making mortgage payments to the mortgage holder (the same Chino
Valley Bank), which then filed a Notice of Default as an initial step to
foreclosure on the property. Grand Terrace then
sought Bankruptcy protection in July of 1993, and was ultimately dismissed
from Bankruptcy in May of 1995. The Chino Valley Bank subsequently sold
the property in foreclosure to itself. Tri-National filed it's own action
against the Chino Valley Bank in early 1995, claiming that it was defrauded
and misrepresented when it advanced the $383,064 for the closing in 1992.
The case is still pending and has not come to trial. The Company purchased
the remaining stock of MRI Grand Terrace, Inc., as described in Note 10 to
these financial statements, in an effort to control both lawsuits against
the Chino Valley Bank, which is also a publicly traded company. As a
result of the uncertainty of the final results of the lawsuits, the Company
wrote off the investment, which at the time was $100,000.
3. INVESTMENT IN MRI MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS INC., A COLORADO CORPORATION
In 1992 the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, MRI Medical
Diagnostics Inc., a California corporation. In return the Company received
6,000,000 restricted common shares of the purchaser, MRI Medical
Diagnostics Inc. (MRI-Med), a Colorado public corporation (formerly
Petro-Global, Inc.), plus certain mineral properties and leases. The mineral
properties were written down to a nil value in the records of the Company.
MRI-Med filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 22, 1993. After
dividends in kind totaling 2,000,000 shares in 1992 and 1993, and due to
uncertainty in the underlying value of the remaining 4,000,000 MRI-Colorado
shares held by the Company, the carrying cost of these shares was
written-off in 1994. Tri-National Development Corp. filed a reorganization
plan on behalf of MRI-Med in August 1995 and, in settlement of the litigation
described in Note 3, the Company received 5,900,000 shares of MRI-Med at a
deemed value of $0.50 per share, ordered by the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy
Court, plus 1,400,000 for reimbursement of current expenses. MRI Medical
Diagnostics, Inc. is currently a publicly traded company, with shares
trading in the $.03 to $.10 range. The investment is recorded in the books
at $496,994.
4. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY: HILLS OF BAJAMAR
The Hills of Bajamar (formerly the Santa Fe Ranch) consists of
approximately 2,470 acres (divided into ten 247 acres parcels) of
undeveloped land located fifty miles south of San Diego, California on the
Pacific Coast of the State of Baja California, Mexico, in the Municipality
of Ensenada. The Company originally had a right to acquire a 100% interest
in the property pursuant to a series of agreements requiring ongoing
payments for each 247 acres parcel released by the vendor.
The Company subsequently entered into an agreement with Pacific Medical
International, Inc. (PMI) whereby, subject to shareholder approval, it
divested itself of all of its rights in consideration for: retention of
86.45 acres of the first parcel of the Santa Fe Ranch to be released by the
original vendor; and the greater of (1) a one percent royalty on the gross
proceeds from the sale of any land that is part of the said Santa Fe Ranch,
or (2) $150,000 for each 247 acres parcel released by the vendor, beginning
with the release of the fourth parcel and continuing with each release
thereafter.
Prior to receiving shareholder approval, the Board renegotiated the
agreement and, on June 23, 1995, the Company held an Extraordinary General
Meeting that approved the renegotiated agreement. Under the renegotiated
agreement, the Company was granted 51% of the issued and outstanding
shares of PMI with any dilution of stock to raise further funding to come
from the shareholdings of the minority shareholders of PMI and not their
treasury. PMI also agreed to assume
a convertible promissory note to a Mr. Yates on renegotiated terms and
Yates agreed to such assumption by PMI. The Yates note was originally
secured by the Company's rights to its 86.45 acres of the Santa Fe Ranch.
The renegotiated note with PMI provides for Yates to receive the greater of
$2,000 or 50% of the sale price for each acre of the Santa Fe Ranch sold
until all funds due to him are paid, with Yates also to receive a lien
against the first 250 acres of the Santa Fe Ranch as security.
The Company then entered into a new agreement in November of 1996 with PMI
to acquire all right and title to the 237 acres already in escrow, as well
as, the balance of the contract for the remaining 2,233 acres for a
$700,000 promissory note payable, 500,000 shares of TND Class B Series B
Preferred Stock at a value of $4.00 per share and the return of its 51%
interest in PMI. The Company's basis in the Hills of Bajamar taking into
account cash invested, stock surrendered and notes given total, $3,841,661.
PMI remains responsible for its own debts.
5. PLAZAS RESORT TIMESHARES AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

including its existing assets, which include 16+ developed acres of ocean
front land with plans for 326 timeshare resort units, plus a 26,000 square
foot adjacent commercial building under construction for $13,279,055,
payable with notes for $9,279,055 and 1,000,000 Class B Series B
Convertible Preferred shares with a value of $4.00 per share.
6. BAJA PROMOCIONES INTERNATIONAL, S.A. de C.V.
On April 27, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 200 acres
in the very northern corner of the Hills of Bajamar to Baja Promociones
International, Inc. for use as a Indy style racing facility for $4,200,000
and retained a 25% interest in the business. The Company has received a
note in the amount of $4,200,000. The buyer is to receive a credit of
$1,000,000 upon completion of the construction of the main road from the
toll road to the race facility property. The buyer is contracting to start
construction by the end of September 1997. The cost of this property was

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
APRIL 30, 1997
The Company has undergone many changes and is in the process of
implementing more changes, which are included in this years proxy
statement.
The Company announced a contract for the acquisition of the Greater San
Diego Imaging Center through its U.S. subsidiary, TND/Medical
International, Inc. (TNDMI), a California corporation. The closing
occurred in December of 1996 for $300,000 cash and the issuance of 857,142
common shares. The Company provided the stock portion of the acquisition
and First Colonial Ventures, Ltd., a Nevada publicly traded corporation, is
to provide the cash portion of the acquisition. First Colonial Ventures,
Ltd. is to receive one third of the Greater San Diego Imaging Center for
its contribution. The Greater San Diego Imaging Center has proceeded with
the completion of an "open unit" upgrade, thus giving the Company the only
open unit magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) center in San Diego for large
and claustrophobic patients.
The Company announced in June of 1996 that it entered into an escrow to
purchase a significant portion of the 1,600 acre Bajamar Resort in Baja
California, Mexico for $39,500,000US. Bajamar is a world class resort
located directly across the highway from the Company's Santa Fe Ranch
property, now the "Hills of Bajamar". The primary focus of the acquisition
consists of 27 holes of championship golf, 80 acres for an additional 9
holes, a 81 room hotel, a clubhouse with restaurant, tennis courts, driving
range and assorted residential properties surrounding the golf courses
amounting to an additional 300 acres. Tri-National Development Corp. is
proceeding to close at the earliest possible date.
TND has also contracted with a Mexican corporation for an additional parcel
at Bajamar, which they purchased for $13,279,055 and is approved for 326
timeshare units and 26,000 square feet of commercial space. The plans are
drawn and all of the infrastructure for the site is in place. The 103 year
old Wall Street real estate investment banking firm, Sonnenblick-Goldman
Co., has been retained as the exclusive procurer for debt and equity
financing.
The Company has entered into a first right of refusal agreement for the
possible acquisition of a timeshare, hotel and casino complex in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The advantage of such an addition to the Company's base, will be
to secure a Nevada gaming license to compliment our resort properties in
Baja, California in the event that casino licenses are issued in Mexico.
The Nevada property that is the subject of the contract is currently
earning approximately $1,000,000 annually from the hotel portion only.
The Company closed a private placement in October 1996, for $521,971 for
1,956,491 units. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share
purchase warrant. The Company announced and closed an additional private
placement of $338,807 for 968,021 units in October of 1996. Each unit
consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant.
The use of proceeds for both private placements included approximately
$200,000 to close the acquisition of MRI Grand Terrace, Inc. and the
Greater San Diego Imaging Center. In addition, over $200,000 in legal and
professional fees were used for these acquisitions, as well as, the MRI
Medical Diagnostics, Inc. reorganization plan. The balance of
approximately $150,000 was used for general working capital over the last
two years.
The Company's shareholders approved, in 1994, a share for debt exchange
with its creditors. The majority of the Company's creditors accepted the
exchange for approximately $881,160 of debt, thus leaving the Company
virtually debt free. This enhanced our balance sheet allowing us to
attract other possible acquisitions, as well as, outside financing. A
total of 3,524,640 common shares of the Company were issued to satisfy this
obligation.
The Company held a shareholder vote in January of 1997 to change our
corporate domicile from Vancouver, B.C. to Wyoming. The Company chose
Wyoming because it has a reciprocal arrangement with British Columbia that
allowed us to change domicile but retain our existing Corporation Articles
and free trading stock positions. Any other change of domicile would have
required a new two year hold period on our existing share holdings. The
other major reason for change of domicile is the stringent controls of the
VSE, specifically the prohibition on the part of the VSE in regard to
acquisition and development projects in Mexico, which has kept us from
trading in Canada for the last two years. Our change of domicile is now
complete and we have filed a Form 10-SB registration statement, which makes
us a fully reporting U.S. company. The Company also plans to make
application for a NASDAQ listing, which is a step up from our current Over
the Counter listing, "TNAV".
Management of the Company also determined that it was in the best interests
of the Company to delist from the Vancouver Stock Exchange (VSE) and
instructed its legal counsel to make the application for delisting from the
VSE. Management of the Company determined that the current business of the
Company was not suited to the VSE due to the fact that its main focuses are
on medically related resorts and real estate that is located in the United
States and Mexico, with the possibility of projects in Canada; and its
shareholder base is primarily located in the United States. Also, the
Company anticipates that future financing will be conducted through
brokerage houses or financiers located in the United States.
