                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

         Trans-Industries, Inc. ("Trans-Industries" or the "Company"), on August
23, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (as amended, the "Form 10-Q") for the period
ending June 30, 2004. This Form 10-Q/A Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") is
being filed to revise item 4.

         The filing of this Amendment No. 1 shall not be deemed an admission
that the previous filing, when made, included any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not
misleading.

         We hereby amend the 10-Q to revise Item 4 as set forth below. All other
information is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the
original filing. Unless otherwise expressly stated, this Amendment No. 1 does
not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-Q, or modify or
update in any way disclosures contained in the Form 10-Q.

         Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth
below.

"ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a)   EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on
their evaluation as of June 30, 2004, that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective during the quarter-ended June 30, 2004. This
determination was made because of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer's belief that the Company's resources were insufficient to
address its financial reporting requirements in a timely fashion during the
quarter-ended June 30, 2004. In particular, the Company has suffered from
insufficient personnel resources. Additionally, the Company has struggled with
complying with the increased reporting requirements that have resulted from the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new National Association of Security Dealers rules.

The Company is continuing to evaluate its resources for addressing its financial
reporting and making appropriate changes to provide sufficient resources and
time to prepare and file periodic reports within the time periods specified in
the SEC's rules and regulations and provide for reviews by management, the Audit
Committee and the Board of Directors. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer are, in connection with the evaluation, reviewing our
personnel, resources and disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation is
intended to lead to changes that will ensure that our disclosure controls are
effective at a reasonable assurance level. Specifically, the evaluation is aimed
at ensuring that our disclosure controls are effective for gathering, analyzing
and disclosing in a timely manner the information we are required to disclose in
our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

As a part of the evaluation, the Company has concluded that it expects that
Company personnel will have additional time to devote to financial reporting in
the fourth quarter of 2004. Furthermore, the Company will be adding an employee
to the staff responsible for compliance with reporting obligations in the fourth
quarter of 2004. Accordingly, the Company expects that its disclosure controls
and procedures will be fully effective during the fourth quarter of 2004 or soon
thereafter.

(b)   CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting."
