9.   Stock Based Compensation

At March 31, the Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is
described more fully in Note B & I in the Company's Annual Report. The Company
accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net
income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price greater
than or equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
to stock-based employee compensation.

Item 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                      For Three Months Ended March 31, 2003


Forward-Looking Statements

This discussion highlights significant factors influencing the financial
condition and results of operations of Trans-Industries, Inc. It should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes. This discussion
includes certain forward-looking statements based on management's estimate of
trends and economic factors in the markets in which the corporation is active,
as well as the corporation's business plans. In light of recent securities law
developments, including the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the corporation notes that such forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the
corporation's actual results may differ from those set forth in such statements.
Significant changes in economic conditions, regulatory or legislative changes
affecting Trans-Industries, Inc., its competitors, or the markets in which it is
active, or changes in other factors may cause future results to vary from those
expected by the corporation.

Sales and Earnings

Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were $8,649,800 compared to
$8,798,681 for the same period a year ago. This decrease of $148,881 is
primarily attributed to Vultron International, the Company's U.K. subsidiary,
which was sold on March 7, 2003. Domestic operations showed a slight increase of
3.6 percent in revenues compared to the first quarter of last year. This is
primarily attributable to an improvement in the economy.

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a net loss of $473,418 or
($.15) per share. For the same period of the prior year, the Company reported a
net income of $309,415 or $.10 per share. The loss reported in the first quarter
of 2003 was primarily the results of the Company's foreign subsidiary which was
sold during the first quarter of 2003. Losses for this subsidiary totaled
$439,000 of which $273,000 were losses due to the sale and $166,000 were
operational losses for January and February of 2003.

Inventories

Inventory valuation is based upon the lower of cost or market. At March 31,
2003, consolidated inventories were $10,402,553 compared to $10,800,095 a year
ago. This decrease of $397,542 is a result of the Company's sale of its U.K.
subsidiary.

                      For Three Months Ended March 31, 2003


Interest

Interest expense amounted to approximately $170,000 and $214,000 for the first
quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively. This decrease of $44,000 was primarily
the result of lower debt levels and rate reductions on variable debt in 2003.


Financial Condition

Current financial resources coupled with anticipated funds from operations are
expected to meet funding requirements for the remainder of the year, based upon
present needs.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

                      For Three Months Ended March 31, 2003


The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
International revenue from the Company's foreign subsidiary was approximately 2%
of total revenues for three months ended March 31, 2003. The Company's primary
foreign currency exposure is the British Pound. The Company manages its exposure
to foreign currency assets and earnings primarily by funding certain foreign
currency denominated assets with liabilities in the same currency and, as such,
certain exposures are naturally offset.

The Company's financial results are affected by changes in U.S. and foreign
interest rates. The Company does not hold financial instruments that are subject
to market risk (interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk).


Item 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on
their evaluation within 90 days of the filing date of this report, that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective for gathering, analyzing and
disclosing the information we are required to disclose in our reports filed
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There have been no significant
changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significant
affect these controls subsequent to the date of the previously mentioned
evaluation.
