Abstract: The flag-transitive automorphism groups of the Tits generalized quadrangle $T^{\ast}_{2}(O_{4})$ are classified up to conjugacy in $Aut(T^{\ast}_{2}(O_{4}))$. Basing on the classification, it is shown that there is no flag-transitive circular extension of $T^{\ast}_{2}(O_{4})$ or of its dual other than those constructed in Yoshiara, S.: {\it On some flag-transitive non-classical $c.C_{2}$-geometries;} European J. Combin. {\bf 14} (1993), 59--77. This result completes the classification of flag-transitive extensions of $T^{\ast}_{2}(O_{4})$ and its dual.
