PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

General.

American Stone Industries, Inc. ("ASI" or the "Company") is a holding
company that conducts its business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, American
Stone Corporation ("ASC"). The Company quarries, purchases and sells stone for
use in the building construction industry. The Company produces two types of
natural stone: (1) dimensional stone, which is natural stone that is cut to size
as specified in architectural designs and is primarily used as architectural
accents to buildings, although dimensional stone is also used for funeral
monuments, landscape and ornamental objects; and (2) construction stone, which
is natural stone primarily used for road base, back fill and erosion control.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 11,
1992. The Company acquired the operating assets of Cleveland Quarries, L.P. in
February 1996, and thereafter began operating the 145-year old quarry situated
near Amherst, Ohio known as the "Cleveland Sandstone Quarries" (the "Cleveland
Quarries"). The Cleveland Quarries consist of estimated recoverable reserve
deposits in excess of 300 million cubic feet located on over 975 acres of
property. Management of the Company ("Management") believes, based upon various
industry reports and surveys since the initial discovery in 1853, that the
Cleveland Quarries are among the world's largest sandstone quarries.

In January of 2001, the Company created Amherst Stone at Cleveland
Quarries, Inc. ("Amherst Stone"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to act as a
distributor directly to northern Ohio builders and landscapers. The Company
intended Amherst Stone to act as a full-time supplier of Cleveland Quarries
sandstone and other natural stone products. In December 2002, the Company
decided to consolidate the activities of Amherst Stone into ASC.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to the
"Company" refer to the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Business.

The Company quarries and markets sandstone and manages the operation of
the Cleveland Quarries. The Cleveland Quarries produce a type of sandstone that
is known in the industry as "Berea Sandstone." For more than 100 years,
sandstone from the Cleveland Quarries has been utilized widely in the United
States and Canada in such projects as the following:

Berea Sandstone has been used in the construction of numerous additional
facilities over the past 100 years, including government buildings, banks,
churches and prestigious private residential dwellings throughout the United
States and Canada. One of the most current personal residences of note is that
of Mr. William Gates in Seattle, Washington.

Industry Structure.

All natural stone products go through several stages prior to final use.
The various stages can be defined as follows: (1) quarrying, which is the
extraction of large blocks of stone; (2) primary processing, which involves
sawing the large blocks into smaller blocks or large slabs; (3) secondary
processing, which is the conversion of smaller blocks or slabs into finished
product; and (4) installation, which involves assembling and installing finished
product. The Company owns and operates its own quarries. The Company is also a
primary processor, as it owns and operates its own slabbing mills. In addition,
the Company has its own secondary processing mill. All three processes are
performed at the Company's South Amherst location in Ohio.

Companies operate in diverse ways within the natural stone industry. They
are usually involved in more than one of these disciplines. Companies operating
at the ends of the process (i.e., the quarrying and installation) tend to locate
geographically. Quarry operations locate where the raw material is found, and
installers operate in the area in which the finished product is to be installed.
Primary processors often locate at or near the quarries. For this reason, the
same company is often involved in both the quarry and primary processing
segment. Similarly, secondary processors locate at or near the installers'
premises. Therefore, companies that do installation are also usually capable of
secondary processing. Management believes that few companies operate in all
segments of the industry.

The primary and secondary processing segments are the most mechanized and
therefore the most capital intensive. The machinery can be very sophisticated
and very expensive. There have been major advancements in quarry technology, and
these operations are also becoming very capital intensive. These expenses have
been a barrier to entry into these segments of the industry for many and, for
those that have failed to keep up, it has been a factor creating adverse
consequences.

This change is evidenced by the decline in the number of full-service
(primary and secondary) competitors in the domestic market. Most new capital
investment has occurred in Europe, India and China, with little occurring in
North America. The Company believes that its investment in high-tech equipment
will enable it to compete domestically with both domestic and foreign
competitors.

Marketing Structure.

The market for dimensional stone products is served by many more companies
than those involved in production and installation. They include government
agencies, distributors, marketing agencies, architectural and engineering firms
and designers. The company that has the closest contact with the final consumer
is often most responsible for the sale of stone products. These other companies
are often more important to the stone producer than the stone itself. The
illustration below indicates how many layers are potentially between the
end-user and the companies involved in the four levels of the stone industry.
The additional layers between end-user and producer require a sophisticated
marketing department capable of dealing with these companies. The marketing
department may use in-house employees for estimating and drafting functions or
for strategic alliances with outside companies that perform these functions.

For the period from 2000 to 2004, the Company's annual production of
natural stone was as follows:

RAW STONE: (TONS)
---------- ------

2000 12,699
2001 16,855
2002 13,196
2003 11,588
2004 6,706

Management currently intends to target the following areas:

Building Stone:

- Slabs - Ashlar - Landscaping - Swimming Pool
- Sills - Patio Stone - Tile Construction
- Steps - Wallstone - Cutstone - Restoration
(Cut Stone)

Specialty Products:

- Cores (Oil & Gas Research) - Grindstones
- Breakwater Stone - Ornamental

Employees.

The Company has approximately 31 full-time employees, of which
approximately 24 are hourly. The average hourly wage of the quarry personnel is
approximately $10.69 per hour. The quarries are situated in a geographic region
that has a large labor pool, and Management does not believe that securing
additional labor will be difficult or expensive. In Management's opinion, the
Company has a positive relationship with its employees.

Competition.

The Company competes in the natural dimensional stone market. More
specifically, the Company competes against limestones and other sandstones. The
Company's two biggest competitors consist of Briar Hill Stone Co. (Glenmont, OH
-- about 50 employees) and Indiana Limestone Company (Bedford, IN -- about 200
employees). When submitting proposals to provide Berea Sandstone to larger
commercial sites, the Company competes with quarries throughout the United
States and abroad.

The Company intends to compete within this environment utilizing a
strategy that embodies the following:

- Ownership of what Management believes to be one of the largest
sandstone reserves in the world, which provides the Company with
access to the raw material;

- Access to a large supply of fresh water which is required to utilize
diamond saw technology;

- A strategic geographic location from which the Company can serve
about 66% of the domestic United States market within a 500 mile
radius from the quarries;

- Low cost of raw materials; and

- High quality, attributed to the skilled labor pool, and the higher
level of capital investment in equipment.

Marketing.

The marketing of the Company's products from Ohio is primarily done
through an in-house sales staff and outside sales representation. In addition,
the Company is represented by distributors in the United States and Canada who
deal directly with the end user by purchasing products from the Company at
discounted rates and selling them to the end user at a markup.

The Company's historical market has been the United States and Canada.
Within the United States, the Midwest and Northeast regions have traditionally
accounted for more than 80% of the Company's sales in the United States. In
Canada, the Company's sales have occurred almost exclusively in the Provinces of
Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.

Business Strategy.

The Company intends to expand its current market and financial base
through a business strategy that focuses on:

- Dedication to its core business, i.e., the Cleveland Quarries;

- Development of ancillary assets, i.e., the sale, lease or joint
venture of surplus or nonessential lands.

Backlog.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company's backlog of orders was $285,000 as
compared to a backlog of $250,000 at December 31, 2003.

Seasonality.

The Company's sales are cyclical in nature. Historically, the Company's
sales have been highest during the second and third quarters, which usually
account for more than 60% of the fiscal year's sales. The first quarter
typically has the lowest sales due to inclement weather in the Northern Ohio
region and the difficulty of operating a quarry in such an environment.

Intellectual Property/Proprietary Rights.

The Company holds copyrights in marketing materials and owns various
trademarks. The Company does not believe that intellectual property is material
to the operation of its business.

Regulation.

The Company's operations are subject to a variety of statutes, rules and
regulations, which are applicable to any business operating in the United
States. These statutes, rules and regulations range

from record keeping (e.g., the duty to maintain tax-related records for specific
time periods as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) to
employment (e.g., the duty to comply with the Equal Employment Opportunity Act
of 1972).

Due to its quarry operations, the Company is also subject to certain more
specific statutes, rules and regulations, the most significant of which include:

- Mines Safety and Health Act ("MSHA"), which mandates certain safety
rules and regulations governing mining operations.

- Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 ("OSHA"), which generally
requires that the Company provide its employees with a safe
workplace.

- Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA"), which
prohibits the transportation and/or disposal of "hazardous waste"
except pursuant to certain standards.

- The Department of Transportation, which adopts regulations governing
the safe transportation of goods over interstate highways.

In the opinion of Management, the Company is in compliance with all
applicable regulations. Material changes in these regulations or the adoption of
new regulations could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.

Research and Development.

In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company did not
make any research and development expenditures.

Methods of Distribution and Costs of Transportation.

All of the Company's stone is shipped via flatbed truck F.O.B. at South
Amherst.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

General.

The Company owns three separate parcels of land in the Counties of Lorain
and Erie, Ohio. These properties contain stone with a variety of colors and
properties. The Company holds permits for the two parcels that are used as
quarries and both permits are in good standing.

The parcel in Erie County is in Birmingham Township, consists of
approximately 186 acres, and contains the only Company quarry currently
operating. Stone from this quarry is suitable to all end purposes of the
Company's products and has a higher compressive strength than the stone quarried
from the other Company quarries. Stone from this quarry is suitable not only for
new projects but also for renovation, restoration or expansion of existing
buildings. The Birmingham property also contains a supply of natural gas, which
is leased to a local utility. There are no processing facilities on the
Birmingham property.

The Company's main parcel is in Amherst Township (Lorain County), consists
of approximately 979 acres, and is the site of six quarries, the mills and
offices. The main parcel fronts

the Ohio State Turnpike approximately twenty minutes west of downtown Cleveland.
All of the quarries on the Lorain County land are currently unused and dormant.

In December 2002, the Company purchased approximately 150 acres of land in
Lorain County, Ohio adjoining the Company's Lorain County parcel for $500,000.
The promissory note issued by the Company for the purchase price also provides
for a contingent payment described below under the caption "Encumbrances." The
150 acre parcel was purchased in order to control all contiguous properties.

In the opinion of management, all properties are adequately covered by
insurance.

Reserve Information.

From approximately 1960 to 1992 the reserves of Cleveland Quarries were
estimated by the then owner (Stancorp), which drilled samples of Berea Sandstone
on the Company-owned properties. The reserve estimates were then calculated
using the deposit area and observations of depth from the existing quarries. On
the basis of the reserve estimates obtained by the previous owner, Management
has estimated that dimensional stone reserves for the Birmingham property are
126 million recoverable cubic feet based on a deposit of at least 30 acres
indicated by topographic studies and that the Lorain County property contains
210 million recoverable cubic feet of dimensional stone and 21 million
recoverable cubic feet of construction stone. There are no reserves on the
parcel of property purchased in December 2002. In summary, Management believes
that the properties have a total estimated recoverable reserve in excess of 300
million cubic feet.

Usage for the past three years is as follows:

YEAR EXTRACTED CU. FT. SOLD CU. FT.
---- ----------------- ------------

2002 272,000 111,000
2003 165,708 89,787
2004 95,899 103,540

Differences between cubic feet extracted and cubic feet sold are primarily
the result of waste. The percentages of waste vary from year to year primarily
because of differences in product mix. In 2004, the increase in cubic feet sold
versus cubic feet extracted is related to the sale of stone extracted in
previous years. At current usage rates, the reserves far exceed any reasonable
expectation of depletion.

Buildings.

The following is a list of the main buildings on the Lorain County
property:

Mill No. 8 44,165 1926 Gang Sawing Gang Sawing
Office & Showroom 11,305 1900 Office & Showroom Office & Showroom

Encumbrances.

The Company's main parcel and the parcel in Erie County are subject to
mortgages between the Company and Madison/Route 20 LLC in a loan amount of
$900,000.

In connection with the purchase of 150 acres of land in December 2002, the
Company granted a mortgage to the seller securing a promissory note due November
21, 2007 in the original principal amount of $500,000 plus fifty percent (50%)
of the difference between the fair market value of the property and the purchase
price of $500,000. See Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements.

The Company's main parcel of land in Amherst Township (Lorain County) is
subject to a note payable to BRM Quarry Co., LLC in a principal amount of
$600,000 due June 25, 2007.

In May 2004 the Company granted to an unrelated third party an option to
purchase approximately 900 acres of land. See Note 9 of Notes to Financial
Statements.

Equipment.

The Company's equipment consists of saws, cranes, trucks, tow motors,
grinders, stone cutting equipment and haul tools. Older equipment is in the
process of being overhauled, upgraded and replaced with new equipment.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Company Overview and Outlook

American Stone Industries, Inc. is a holding company that mines and sells
stone primarily for the building stone market through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, American Stone Corporation. American Stone Corporation owns and
operates the Cleveland Quarries in Amherst, Ohio. We produce dimensional stone
which is cut to size as specified in architectural designs and primarily used as
architectural accents to buildings. We also produce construction stone which is
primarily used for road base, back fill and erosion control.

Our challenges in 2004 were, and they continue to be, to increase our
sales base and continue to improve our operating efficiencies while controlling
costs so we can generate profits and positive cash flow and strengthen our
balance sheet. Cash remains tight, but as a result of some price increases,
improvement in product mix, and continuing credit disciplines we have achieved a
profit in fiscal year 2004. Fiscal year 2005 has started slowly due to the
unusually severe winter weather conditions. The request to quote on our products
thus far in 2005 has been strong and we are optimistic for the year ahead. We
are planning a new building that would allow us to be fully operational twelve
months a year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all amounts in thousands)

Following is a discussion of the principal factors that affected the
Company's results of operations during each of the two most recent fiscal years.
This discussion should be read in

conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes
thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations for Fiscal Year 2004 compared to Fiscal Year 2003

Sales in 2004 were $2,399 for an increase of $171, or 7.6%, over 2003
fiscal year sales of $2,228. Sales increased primarily as a result of on time
delivery and increased product quality. Product returns for our customers in
2004 were the lowest in company history.

Gross profit in fiscal year 2004 was $683, an increase of $190, or 38.5%,
over gross profit of $493 in fiscal year 2003. Gross profit margin for fiscal
year 2004 was 28.5% compared to 22.1% for fiscal year 2003. This improvement in
gross profit margin resulted primarily from price increases and improvements in
product mix. In 2004 the Company focused on sales of larger slabs, for which
margins are higher than detailed finish work.

Selling and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2004 of $461 represent
a decrease of $65, or 12.5%, compared to $527 in 2003. The 2004 expense figure
includes the benefit of negotiated write-offs of various accounts payable,
aggregating $187, and the 2003 expense figure includes a benefit from the
forgiveness of debt of $223. Without the benefit of these write-offs, selling
and administrative expenses would have been $648 in 2004 and $750 in 2003,
reflecting a decrease in 2004 of 13.6% as compared to 2003.

In fiscal year 2004 the Company recognized $125 from the sale to Trans
European Securities International LLC of an option to purchase land. See Note 9
of the Notes to Financial Statements for a description of that transaction.

Interest expense increased in fiscal year 2004 to $197 compared to $152.
This increase of $45 or 29.6%, was primarily the result of increased average
borrowing levels in 2004. This increase in borrowing levels was after giving
effect to the conversion of a total of $370 in notes payable into common stock
at the election of the holders of the notes pursuant to their terms.

Although the Company had a profit before income taxes of $153 in fiscal
year 2004, we did not record any income tax expense because of the availability
of operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2004, the Company has unused
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,300 that may be applied against
future taxable income and expire in various amounts from 2007 to 2023. Our
ability to benefit from the carryforwards will depend upon generating taxable
income in the future.

We achieved net income of $153 in fiscal year 2004 compared to a loss of
$186 in 2003. The principal factors in this profit were the receipt of the
$125,000 from the sale of the option and improvements in gross profit.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates, judgments and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect
amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We
evaluate the accounting policies and estimates we use to prepare financial
statements on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience
and assumptions believed to be reasonable under the relevant circumstances. In
preparing these financial statements, we have made our best estimates and
judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements related to the

accounting policies and estimates described in the text that follows. The
application of these critical accounting policies involves the exercise of
judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and as a result,
actual results could differ from these estimates. For additional information
regarding our accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Goodwill.

As of December 31, 2004, we had $26,661 of goodwill resulting from the
acquisition of businesses. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," under which goodwill is no longer
amortized but is tested for impairment annually (we have selected November 15),
or more often, if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may
have occurred. In making goodwill impairment assessments, we compare the fair
value of the company with the company's carrying value. If the fair value of the
company exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired.
If the carrying value of the company exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss
is measured and recognized.

As of November 15, 2004, our common stock's latest closing value was $8.00
per share and we had 2,032,021 shares outstanding. Therefore, our total market
value, or fair value, was $16,256. The carrying value of the Company,
represented by stockholders' equity at September 30, 2004, (the last information
as reported on Form 10-QSB) was $1,634. Since the fair value exceeded the
carrying value, we determined that goodwill was not impaired.

Land Depletion.

Our estimate of land depletion is based on our estimate of remaining
sandstone as determined from current and historical information. We evaluated
the key factors and assumptions used to develop the land depletion estimate in
determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken
as a whole.

Contingencies.

We are subject to various investigations, claims, and legal and
administrative proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the
ordinary course of business activities. Any liability that may result from these
proceedings, and any liability that is judged to be probable and estimable, has
been accrued. Any potential liability not accrued is not currently expected to
have a material adverse effect on our future financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

CASH FLOWS
(all amounts in thousands)

2004 2003

Cash flows provided (used by):

Operating activities $303 ($148)
Investing activities ($255) ($ 50)
Financing activities $452 $477

Cash provided by operating activities in 2004 was $303. The cash provided
from operations included net income of $153, depreciation, amortization and
depletion of $390, and a decrease in inventory of $238. These principal sources
of cash from operations were offset primarily by a reduction in accounts payable
of $422.

Cash used by operating activities in 2003 was $148. The net loss of $186
included a non-cash gain on forgiveness of bank debt of $223, depreciation and
amortization of $418 and a loss on the sale of equipment of $58. Major uses of
cash were a $188 increase in inventory and a $306 decrease in payables and
accrued liabilities. Major sources of cash were a $228 decrease in accounts
receivable and a $44 decrease in prepaid expenses.

Cash used in investing activities in 2004 was $255, representing
investment in, among other things, a new block saw and gauging equipment, net of
sales of equipment of $3.

Cash used by investing activities in 2003 was $50, which included $62 to
purchase equipment primarily to improve productivity.

Cash provided by financing activities in 2004 was $452, resulting from the
excess of $675 in new long-term borrowings over $224 in repayment of long term
debt.

Cash provided by financing activities in 2003 was $477. Cash was provided
by long term debt totaling $1,495 while $1,018 of cash was used to repay long
term debt and borrowings under the line of credit. Borrowings in 2003 included
the following:

- $220 unsecured notes payable to directors and officers of the
company

- $200 unsecured note payable to bank

- $900 mortgage refinance loan payable to Madison/Route 20, LLC

- $175 drawn on an unsecured note payable to Roulston Venture Capital
L.P., a significant shareholder

More information about Long Term Debt can be found in Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
(all amounts in thousands)

As of December 31, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $784.
During 2004, the Company did not borrow from any line of credit.

As of December 31, 2004, our current portion of long-term debt was $332,
which represents the principal portion of our debt that is due to be repaid by
December 31, 2005.

Capital spending in 2005 is currently estimated at between $50 and $100,
primarily for equipment needed to maintain operations.

We experienced significant operating losses in the three years prior to
2004 which resulted in cash flow and liquidity problems. During the previous 36
months we have taken steps to reduce administrative overhead, employment levels
and other expenses, have instituted strict controls over granting credit to
customers and have put new sales policies and procedures into place. In 2004, we
began to emphasize sale by slab rather than fabricated stone to lower cost of
production and speed up job completion. We have also purchased new computers and
software in order to improve record keeping and tracking of inventory and work
in progress. In addition, we have introduced new full color advertising
literature to for our dealers and their customers. We believe these measures
will contribute to improved operating performance and positive cash flow in
2005. We are also currently exploring additional long term funding sources,
including debt placement, stock issuance and other alternatives. If Trans
European exercises the option to purchase a portion of the company land, the
proceeds of the option exercised will provide substantial liquidity to the
Company. There can be no assurance, however, that Trans European will exercise
the option or, if it does so, that the exercise will be timely in relation to
the liquidity requirements of the Company.

The following table summarizes our obligations related to long-term debt
and operating leases as of December 31, 2004:

LONG TERM OPERATING
DEBT LEASES TOTAL
---- ------ -----

Due in less than 1 year $ 332 $10 $ 342

CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In this annual report, statements that are not reported financial results
or other historical information are "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not
guarantees of future performance. They are based on management's expectations
that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by
the forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by the fact
that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. Words are used
such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan,"
"believe" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with the
discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these
include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in
manufacturing costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance or
results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies;
sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings;
and financial results.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but
are not limited to: (1) general economic, business and market conditions, (2)
actions by competitors, (3) the success of advertising or promotional efforts,
(d) trends within the building construction industry, (5) the existence or
absence of adverse publicity, (6) changes in relationships with the Company's
major customers or in the financial condition of those customers, (7) equipment
and operational problems,

and (8) the adequacy of the Company's financial resources and the availability
and terms of any additional capital.

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized,
although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions.
Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate
assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary
materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear
this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are
advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects
in our Form 10-QSB, 8-K and 10-KSB reports to the Securities and Exchange
Commission. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify
all risk factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a
complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of American Stone Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Amherst, Ohio

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of American Stone
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of American Stone Industries,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of American Stone
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (hereinafter "ASI" or the "Company") is
presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies
conform to generally accepted accounting principles as promulgated in the United
States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Business Activity

American Stone Industries, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) is a publicly
held company whose stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. American Stone
Industries, Inc. ("ASI") is a holding company that mines and sells stone
predominantly for the building stone market through its wholly owned subsidiary,
American Stone Corporation ("ASC"). ASC owns and operates the Cleveland Quarries
in Amherst, Ohio.

In January of 2001, the Company created a wholly owned subsidiary, known
as Amherst Stone at Cleveland Quarries, Inc. (Amherst Stone) to act as a
distributor directly to northern Ohio builders and landscapers. The Company
intended Amherst Stone to act as a full-time supplier of Cleveland Quarries
sandstone and other natural stone products. In December 2002, the Company
consolidated the activities of Amherst Stone into its ASC operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of financial reporting, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits, which, at times may
exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Company (FDIC) up to $100,000. At December 31, 2004, the Company had
approximately $225,000 in excess of FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced
any losses in such accounts.

Included in the Company's cash is a thirty day renewable commercial paper
instrument through Ford Motor Credit Company. At December 31, 2004, the
instrument had a value of $502,700.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Accounts Receivable

Credit is granted to only qualified domestic customers. The allowance for
doubtful accounts is calculated using the Company's prior bad debt experience
and current estimates of uncollectible accounts.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recorded when products are shipped to customers or, in
instances where products are configured to customer requirements, upon the
successful completion of the Company's final test procedures. The Company is
generally not contractually obligated to accept returns, except for defective
product. An allowance for such returns is reflected as a reduction to accounts
receivable when the Company expects to grant credits for such items; otherwise
it is reflected as a liability.

Property, Plant and Equipment - At Cost

Property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2004 and 2003 consisted of:

2004 2003
------------- ------------

Land $ 938,680 $ 938,680
Buildings and improvements 1,477,350 1,477,350

Net property, plant and equipment $ 3,112,147 $ 3,243,693
============= ============

Depletion is calculated based on management's estimate of sandstone
reserves. There is no engineer's estimate available for such reserves. Depletion
amounted to $-0- and $1,299 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

The cost of depreciable property is being depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method for financial
reporting. Depreciation expense was $389,623 and $416,618 for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred.
Expenditures which materially increase value or extend lives are capitalized.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of American
Stone Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary American Stone
Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. As mentioned in Note
1, Business Activity, in 2002 the Company consolidated the activities of its now
dormant subsidiary, Amherst Stone at Cleveland Quarries, Inc., into ASC
operations. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, as of January 1, 2002. The standard provides that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized. The
standards provide that goodwill be tested for impairment annually. The Company
selected mid November for its annual impairment testing. The Company recognized
no impairment in 2004 or 2003.

The following is a summary of intangibles:

Stock Options

The Company uses the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock-based
awards granted to employees and, accordingly, does not currently recognize
compensation expense for its stock-based awards to employees in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.

The Company maintains the 1998 Management Stock Option Plan (management
plan). Options granted under the management plan may be either incentive stock
options or non-statutory stock options. The options expire on the fifth
anniversary of the date of grant with remaining terms to be determined by the
sole discretion of a committee of members of the Company's Board of Directors.
The management plan provides that the Company may grant options (generally at
fair market value at the date of grant) for not more than 300,000 shares of
common stock to management employees. Options granted are generally exercisable
beginning one year after the date of grant. At December 31, 2004 and 2003,
130,500 and 70,000 options, respectively, with exercise prices ranging from
$3.35 to $6.00 were outstanding. The 60,500 options granted to management in
2004 include 50,000 options granted to the President and CEO. The 50,000 options
granted to the President and CEO are on a different vesting schedule from the
options granted to other employees.

Stock Options (Continued)

The President may exercise the options at the following times: 5,416 upon
the granting of the option, 16,666 on June 1, 2005, 16,666 on June 1, 2006, and
11,252 on June 1, 2007. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, 75,416 and -0- options,
respectively, were exercisable.

Additionally, the Company maintains the 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock
Option Plan (director plan). The director plan provides for the granting of
stock options to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the
Company. There are 300,000 shares available for grant under the plan. Each
option is exercisable one year after the date of grant and expires five years
after the date of grant. On the date of the annual meeting each eligible
director receives an option to purchase 1,500 shares (3,000 shares for the
Board's Chairman) of common stock, and receives an option to purchase 150 shares
(300 shares for the Board's Chairman) of common stock for each Director or
Committee meeting attended for the twelve months prior to the annual meeting.
Each option shall be at fair market value on the date of the grant. At December
31, 2004, 133,904 shares with exercise prices ranging from $2.37 to $9.50 ($6.15
weighted average) were outstanding, 112,904 of which were exercisable. At
December 31, 2003, 112,904 shares with exercise prices ranging from $2.37 to
$9.50 ($5.62 weighted average) were outstanding, 95,644 of which were
exercisable.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Stock Options (Continued)

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APBO No. 25), and related
interpretations, in accounting for its stock options because, as discussed
below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), requires use of highly subjective assumptions in
option valuation models. Under APBO No. 25, because the exercise price of the
Company's stock option granted is not less than fair market price of the shares
at the date of grant, no compensation is recognized in the financial statements.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share,
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under
the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, is required by that statement. The fair

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Concentration of Credit Risk (Continued)

Included in the Company's cash is a thirty day renewable commercial paper
instrument through Ford Motor Credit Company. At December 31, 2004, the
instrument had a value of $502,700.

Income Per Common Share

Income per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding, which was 1,978,390 and 1,939,169 for the years ended December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company has various notes payable that include conversion rights to
common stock. Total potential convertible shares were approximately 160,000
shares at December 31, 2004. Additionally, the Company has outstanding stock
options of 264,404 shares at December 31, 2004. As a result, the Company has the
potential of issuing approximately 424,404 of additional shares of common stock
at December 31, 2004.

Inventory

Inventories consist of sandstone and are valued at the lower of first-in,
first-out (FIFO) cost or market.

Restricted Cash

The Company's certificate of deposit is assigned to the Ohio Department of

Resources requires all companies engaged in mining activities in the state to
maintain an interest bearing certificate of deposit to qualify for a mining
permit.

Shipping and Handling Costs

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
FASB No. 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment, ("FASB 123 (R)"). FASB 123(R)
eliminates the alternative of using Accounting Principles Board's Opinion No. 25
Accounting for stock issued to employees ("APB No. 25") intrinsic value method
of accounting that was provided in FASB 123 as originally issued. Under Opinion
No. 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of
no compensation cost. FASB No. 123(R) requires entities to recognize the cost of
employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on
the grant-date fair value of these awards (with limited exceptions.) FASB No
123(R) is effective for the Company beginning with its quarter ending March 31,
2006. Until FASB No. 123(R) is effective the Company has elected to continue
using the intrinsic value method of accounting for its stock-based compensation
plans.

The Company owns approximately 1,100 acres of land in Northern Ohio. On

"Agreement") with Trans European Securities International LLP, ("Trans
European"), under which Trans European acquired an option to purchase
approximately 900 acres of American Stone's real estate located in Lorain
County, Ohio, (the "Real Estate") for a purchase price of $23,740,000.

The property has frontage on State Route 113 and Quarry Road. It is
approximately three miles from the Ohio Turnpike with access at Baumhart Road,
Route 58 and Route 57. Under the terms of the Agreement, Trans European has an
option for a period of 15 months to purchase the Real Estate. To acquire the
option, Trans European was required to pay American Stone a $250,000
non-refundable Option Fee: $125,000 was paid on or about May 9, 2004 and
$125,000 was paid on or about February 18, 2005.

Upon the exercise of the option, which must take place prior to August 31,
2005,Trans European has agreed to purchase the Real Estate and pay to American
Stone: $5,000,000, minus the Option Fee and other credits and allocations,
within 30 days of the exercise or the expiration of the option period, whichever
is later (the "Closing Date"): $10,000,000 one year later: and the balance of
the purchase price, or approximately $8,490,000 on the second anniversary of the
Closing Date. In addition to the purchase price noted above, Trans European has
agreed to share with American Stone a portion of its earnings that relate to
other than residential sales of real estate.

The sale of this portion of American Stone's real estate will not
interfere with any of American Stone's existing or planned stone quarrying or
processing operations. American Stone expects to operate in all respects on
their remaining approximately 200 acres of land, which are not included in the
Real Estate which is the subject of the Agreement.
