(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 (1) ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS: TransAmerican Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Health Research, Ltd.) (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on July 22, 1996, and is conducting its operations in California. The Company has been in the development stage and was inactive until November 1999, at which time current management became involved. On November 15, 1999, the Company changed its name to TransAmerican Holdings, Inc. The sole purpose of the Company at this time is to raise capital and to locate and acquire a private on going business. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION: The accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the annual report of TransAmerican Holdings, Inc. on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE: The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises." The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business. All losses accumulated since inception of the Company have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities (3) RELATED PARTY LIABILITY TO BE SATISFIED THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF STOCK: A summary is as follows: June 1, 2003 issuance ($40,000 less $32,000 repaid) $ 8,000 June 2, 2003 issuance 100,000 June 8, 2003 issuance 20,000 June 9, 2003 issuance 30,000 July 3, 2003 issuance 150,000 October 15, 2003 issuance 50,000 December 15, 2003 issuance 34,000 February 7, 2004 issuance (unaudited) 28,000 March 20, 2004 issuance (unaudited) 13,000 ________ 433,000 Less unamortized discount 52,558 ________ $380,442 ======== F-5 (3) RELATED PARTY LIABILITY TO BE SATISFIED THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF STOCK, CONTINUED: On February 7, 2004, the Company issued a $28,000 non-interest bearing convertible loan payable due February 7, 2005.

The conversion or purchase price of the common stock indebtedness shall be 75% of the market price of the Company's common stock at the time of conversion. Cash proceeds from the convertible debenture amounted to $28,000. The loan was issued with a conversion price below market at the time of issuance. The value of the conversion feature was estimated to be $9,333, which will be amortized over the life of the loan. On March 20, 2004, the Company issued a $13,000 non-interest bearing convertible loan payable due March 20, 2005. All or any portion of the convertible debenture can be converted into fully paid shares of the Company's $.001 par value common only at the due date or later. The conversion or purchase price of the common stock indebtedness shall be 75% of the market price of the Company's common stock at the time of conversion. Cash proceeds from the convertible debenture amounted to $13,000. The loan was issued with a conversion price below market at the time of issuance. The value of the conversion feature was estimated to be $4,333, which will be amortized over the life of the loan. For the three months ending March 31, 2004, $33,727 was amortized to amortization expense. (4) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: In February 2004, the Company issued 350,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock in exchange for services valued at $63,000. These shares were issued for consulting services and were valued at the fair value of the stock at the time of issuance, which was $0.18 per share. (5) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: In April 2004, the Company converted $433,000 in convertible loans payable into 577,332 shares of the Company's common stock. Upon early extinguishment of the convertible loans, the balance of the unamortized discount was charged to additional paid in capital. In April 2004, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock in exchange for services valued at $400,000. These shares were issued for business development services and were valued at the fair value of the stock at the time of issuance, which was $1.00 per share. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to reserves and financial operations. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily allowance for doubtful accounts and recording of assets from related parties. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to March 31, 2003. REVENUES We are a development stage company. There were no revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Total expenses amounted to $53,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $211,330 at March 31, 2003. The expenses resulted primarily from costs incurred by the Company in the ordinary course of business and in our review of potential acquisition candidates. Travel costs relating to review of acquisition candidates have been substantially reduced. LOSS FROM OPERATIONS The Company incurred a loss from operations of $87,208 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $210,949 at March 31, 2003. The reduction in loss is attributed to the reduced activity to locate a suitable acquisition candidate and the travel expenses relating thereto. NET LOSS The Company had a net loss of $87,208 or $(0.00) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $210,949 or $(0.01) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2003. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Because the Company has not material operating revenues, it has attempted to restrict administrative costs to minimal levels necessary to effect corporate operations and securities filings. The Company's proposed activities would require raising additional capital. There is no assurance that the additional capital will be available. The Company's only officer and principal shareholder has provided the Company with its financial resources. The shareholder has agreed to provide continuous support to enable the Company to satisfy its working capital until the Company changes control or it develops its own business and revenues. Without outside funding the Company is totally dependent upon its major shareholder. The Company has been exploring various alternatives, such as an equity or debt private placement, to raise new capital, but there can be no assurances that the Company will ultimately be successful in this regard. PLAN OF OPERATION. TransAmerican intends to seek and acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates revenues in exchange for our securities. We have identified potential business opportunities and have entered into discussions with several companies. However, we have not yet entered into any definitive agreements or understandings as of the date of this filing. 4 GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN TransAmerican's purpose is to seek and acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to us by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the advantages of an Issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act. In our search for a business opportunity, we will not restrict our selection to any specific business, industry, or geographic region and we may participate in a business venture of any kind or nature. This discussion of the proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to restrict our unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act. Such benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all shareholders and other factors. Management believes that TransAmerican will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire an interest in an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the business opportunity will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing and filing required reports on Form 8-K, 10-QSB and 10-KSB, agreements and related reports and documents. The 1934 Act specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be included within the filings relevant to complying with the 1934 Act. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, the officers and directors of the Company. Management intends to concentrate on identifying prospective business opportunities, which may be brought to our attention through present associations with the Company's officers and directors, or by our shareholders. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the public recognition of acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. TransAmerican management expects to meet personally with management and key personnel of the business opportunity as part of our investigation. To the extent possible, we intend to utilize written reports and personal investigation to evaluate the above factors. We will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 Although TransAmerican is subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 insofar as TransAmerican will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event that TransAmerican engages in business combinations, which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, TransAmerican could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, TransAmerican would be required to register as an investment company and could incur significant registration and compliance costs. TransAmerican has obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act would subject TransAmerican to material adverse consequences. TransAmerican's Board of Directors unanimously approved a resolution stating that it is the Company's desire to be exempt from the Investment Company Act of 1940 under Regulation 3a-2 thereto. THE SECURITIES ENFORCEMENT AND PENNY STOCK REFORM ACT OF 1990 The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average annual revenue of at least $6,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with that market. 5 ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer. Based on this evaluation, the officer has concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes to our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation.
