PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

We own and operate a diversified group of middle-market industrial
manufacturing and distribution businesses. Our operations are organized into
three core business segments: (i) fastener manufacturing and distribution; (ii)
heavy fabrication; and (iii) valve manufacturing and repair. Through a fourth
segment, we also distribute machine tools. We believe our businesses are
characterized by strong market positions in niche markets, high value-added
products and services, an established and diversified customer base, cost-
efficient equipment and production facilities with a low sensitivity to
technological change and experienced and committed management. Our products and
services are sold to a broad customer base in the automotive, home furnishings,
petrochemical, oil and gas and various other industrial and consumer products
industries. Most of our products are manufactured to specific technical
requirements and for specific customer orders. We believe that the diversified
nature of our products, services and end-user markets reduces the effect of
operating performance fluctuations in any one of our core business segments and
limits our overall exposure to cyclical downturns within individual industry
sectors.

Industrial Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in August 1989. Our principal
executive offices are located at 7135 Ardmore, Houston, Texas 77054, and our
telephone number is (713) 747-1025.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our business strategy is to increase the sales, cash flow and profitability
of each core business segment:

ENHANCE INTERNAL GROWTH. We believe that significant opportunities
exist to enhance internal growth in our core business segments. We plan
to achieve this growth by (i) identifying new applications and new
markets for our existing products, (ii) identifying new applications for
our existing production capabilities and skill base, (iii) promoting
cross selling opportunities across our customer base and (iv) expanding
into international markets. We believe that our strong market positions
within the niche markets we serve enhance our ability to effectively
implement this strategy.

CAPITALIZE ON INTEGRATION OPPORTUNITIES. Our recent growth through
acquisitions has created additional opportunities to reduce costs and
increase margins through integration of our operations. We will continue
to improve our cost structure and increase margins by (i) consolidating
certain administrative functions and eliminating redundant costs, (ii)
consolidating selected facilities, (iii) capitalizing on purchasing
economies of scale and leveraging key vendor relationships, (iv)
pursuing intercompany supply arrangements by substituting our components
for those previously produced by outside vendors and (v) utilizing the
best practices of our most efficient manufacturing plants throughout all
of our facilities.

PURSUE SELECTED STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. We believe that each of our
three core business segments has sufficient critical mass to provide a
platform for the acquisition and integration of complementary
businesses. The industries in which we compete are large and highly
fragmented, creating an attractive environment for additional
acquisitions whereby we can leverage our competitive position and market
opportunities. We historically have financed many of our acquisitions
with equity capital. In six of our eight acquisitions in 1998, we used
our common stock as all or part of the consideration paid. We have a
focused and disciplined acquisition strategy that we use to identify and
acquire well established, high value-added businesses with experienced
and motivated management teams.

1

ACQUISITIONS

Since 1996, we acquired 14 companies that either expanded or complimented
our then existing product offerings. We continue to integrate these acquired
companies into our existing operations, which we believe will allow us to
achieve cost savings through the elimination of general and administrative
functions and to exploit cross-selling opportunities. In addition, on July 1,
1998, we acquired Beaird Industries, which resulted in the formation of our
heavy fabrication segment.

The following chart describes each of our acquisitions since January 1,
1996.

In July 1998, we entered into an option agreement that grants us the right
to purchase approximately 95% of Belleli Energy S.r.L. through 2003. Belleli is
an Italian company that manufactures thick-walled pressure vessels and heat
exchangers, as well as designs, engineers, constructs and erects components for
desalination, electric power and petrochemical plants.

OPERATIONS

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

FASTENER MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION. Our fastener manufacturing and
distribution segment consists of the metal forming operations and the stud bolt
and gasket operations. Our metal forming operations manufacture cold formed
fasteners and specialty metal components for sale primarily to original

2

equipment manufacturers in the home furnishings, automotive, lawn and garden and
electrical components industries. These fasteners are manufactured in solid,
semi-tubular, tubular or multi-dimensional form. We emphasize the manufacture of
special cold-formed fasteners that are primarily targeted to more highly-
engineered applications. These special cold-formed fasteners can, in many cases,
replace more expensive machined parts. In addition to metal fasteners, we also
manufacture electrical components (including retention clips, fuse holders,
contacts and switch components), drapery hardware and wire drawn products such
as common pins and safety pins, as well as rivet setting machines, which are
sold to original equipment manufacturers. The six facilities used for metal
forming operations are strategically located based on the industries they serve.
We believe our engineering and manufacturing capabilities, multiple
manufacturing facilities and broad equipment base make us one of the leading
suppliers of cold formed fasteners in the U.S.

Our stud bolt and gasket operations manufacture and distribute stud bolts,
nuts, gaskets, hoses, fittings and other products from 13 locations in Texas and
Louisiana primarily to the petrochemical, chemical and oil and gas industries
located in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S. We manufacture ASTM Grade stud
bolts and threaded fasteners, with emphasis on value added services such as
electroplating, coating and special machining and traceability. We also produce
specialty industrial fasteners including bolts, screws, studs, nuts and washers,
all of which are made to order using forging, heat-treating, machining, grinding
and threading processes. In addition to our manufactured products, we distribute
a full line of industrial fasteners and other related products, including
valves, pipe, gaskets, pipe hangers, steel, strainers, swages, tools, tubing and
mill supplies. Our gaskets are fabricated from steel sheet or cut in standard or
custom shapes out of various soft gasket materials. We believe that we are one
of the leading manufacturers and distributors of stud bolts and gaskets in the
Gulf Coast market, which is one of the largest oil and gas exploration,
production and refining regions in North America. Our distribution facilities
for stud bolt and gasket operations carry a broad product line, while our
manufacturing facilities focus on specialty orders that generally require a
rapid turnaround.

HEAVY FABRICATION SEGMENT. Through our heavy fabrication segment, we
manufacture and distribute medium and thick-walled pressure vessels, gas turbine
casings, heat exchangers and other large machined weldments. Our products are
sold to customers in the electric power, marine, petrochemical, petroleum
refining and medical equipment industries and to major capital equipment
suppliers. These products range in size from 500,000 to 2,000,000 pounds and are
produced from sophisticated materials that are subject to quality requirements
including fit, shape, size and metallurgy. We believe we are one of only four
manufacturers in the U.S. with the capabilities and equipment required to
produce these large machined weldments, which generally are critical components
for their respective end use applications. We offer complete fabrication,
material and welding laboratories, machining and finishing capabilities that are
certified to conform to the International Quality System Standard 9001. Our
facility in Shreveport, Louisiana is strategically located with access to
commercial waterways, which is critical for the transportation of our large
pressure vessels and other heavy weldments.

VALVE MANUFACTURING AND REPAIR SEGMENT. Through our valve manufacturing
and repair segment, we manufacture, remanufacture, distribute, install and
provide maintenance and repair services for high-pressure valves, blow out
preventers, pumps and other related products for companies in the exploration,
production and pipeline transportation of oil and gas and in the petrochemical,
chemical and petroleum refining industries located primarily in the Gulf Coast
region. Through the acquisition of Blastco in January 1999, we also provide
refinery and tank farm dismantling services. The cost to provide these products
and services has a high variable component that consists primarily of labor and
raw materials costs. Accordingly, the cost structure of this segment can be
quickly adjusted in response to market conditions. We believe that we are one of
the leading remanufacturers and distributors of valves and pumps in the Gulf
Coast and believe that we are a leading provider of refinery dismantling
services.

MACHINE TOOL DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT. We distribute new machine tools in
South Texas and Louisiana for certain manufacturers including Okuma Machinery,
Inc. on an exclusive basis, and other manufacturers on a non-exclusive basis. We
also sell used machine tools primarily to larger corporations and machine

3

shops in the Gulf Cost region. Machine tools are used in various industries in
the manufacturing process to cut metal and are sold in a variety of sizes
depending upon the task they are designed to perform. We also provide crating
services for products to be exported. Generally we crate other companies'
products at our facility and then forward the crated products to the shipping
source, which is typically an ocean-going vessel.

CUSTOMERS AND MARKETS

Within the fastener manufacturing and distribution segment, the customers
for our cold formed fasteners are primarily original equipment manufacturers in
the home furnishings, automotive and lawn and garden industries. Our electrical
components are sold to manufacturers of electrical products, while our drapery
hardware and our wire drawn products are primarily sold to apparel
manufacturers, drycleaners and distributors of drapery hardware. Our stud bolts,
specialty fasteners and gaskets are sold primarily to customers in the
petrochemical, chemical and oil and gas industries on the Gulf Coast through our
network of distribution facilities. Our manufacturing and distribution
facilities within this segment are strategically located based on the customers
that they serve. A significant portion of the products produced by our fastener
manufacturing and distribution segment are manufactured to specific customer
order. No single customer within this segment accounted for over 10% of our
total sales within the segment.

The major markets served by our heavy fabrication segment include electric
power, marine, petrochemical, petroleum refining and medical equipment
industries. Our customer base for this segment consists primarily of large
multinational corporations and engineering and construction companies. Most of
the large fabricated and machined weldments are manufactured pursuant to
long-term contracts and almost all of our products within this segment are
manufactured to specific customer orders. We utilize both an inside and outside
sales staff in marketing our products in this segment. While we usually sell our
pressure vessels directly to engineering and construction firms, we market
directly to the end-users as well. Three customers, Formosa Plastics Corp.,
Vestas-American Wind Technology, Inc. and Bechtel Corp., each accounted for over
10% of total sales within this segment. Sales to these three customers
represented 37% of total sales within this segment.

Our valve manufacturing and repair segment sells its products primarily to
customers in the oil and gas exploration and production, pipeline
transportation, refining and product storage industries. Per-job orders account
for substantially all of our remanufacturing and repair work performed and
pipeline valves sold. We also sell new, used and remanufactured pipeline valves
from existing inventory according to special customer orders. We conduct our
sales efforts through our inside sales staff and through sales representatives.
No single customer within this segment accounted for over 10% of our total sales
within the segment.

SUPPLIERS AND RAW MATERIALS

The principal raw material that we use in our fastener manufacturing and
distribution and heavy fabrication segments is steel wire and steel. To date, we
have encountered no difficulty in meeting supply requirements of any raw
materials in these segments. We generally maintain an inventory level of raw
materials necessary for approximately 30 days of operations in our fastener
manufacturing and distribution segment. We generally do not maintain a
substantial raw material inventory in our heavy fabrication segment. The steel
industry is cyclical, and steel prices can be volatile due to a number of
factors beyond our control. This volatility can significantly affect our raw
material costs. Competitive conditions determine whether steel price increases
can be passed on to our customers. Our inability to pass some or all future
steel price increases to our customers could have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In our valve manufacturing and repair segment, we acquire new and used
valves and related equipment from suppliers, including individual brokers, other
remanufacturing companies or original equipment manufacturers. We currently have
a significant inventory of valves.

We do not maintain firm contractual agreements with any of our suppliers.
Instead, we purchase our raw materials on a continuing basis from suppliers on
the most favorable terms that we can negotiate. Since

4

product purchases are negotiated on a continuing basis, our ability to obtain
raw materials may not be as secure as if they were subject to a long-term
contract. Our inability to obtain sufficient raw materials from our suppliers
would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cashflows.

COMPETITION

Our cold formed fastener products are subject to competition from a number
of small companies as well as four larger manufacturers. In the special cold
formed fastener market that is concentrated primarily in the automotive and
electronic markets, we also face competition from larger public companies and
foreign manufacturers. We also compete with nine stud bolt manufacturers on a
national basis as well as other manufacturers on a regional basis. We have many
competitors in the markets for our gaskets, hose and related products that
compete in a particular product category. Our competitors within our heavy
fabrication segment vary based on the products manufactured. As the size and
complexity of the products increase, competition is generally less. The market
for each product is very competitive and we face competition from a number of
different manufacturers in each of our product areas. In our valve manufacturing
and repair segment, we believe that we are subject to competition from less than
ten similarly-sized remanufacturing businesses. We believe that our broad
inventory of valves and valve parts, machining capabilities and our high level
of service are our primary competitive advantages. Factors that affect
competition within all of our segments include price, quality and customer
service. Some of our competitors within each of our segments have greater
financial and other resources than us.

BACKLOG

We acquired our heavy fabrication business in June 1998. A significant
amount of the sales of our heavy fabrication segment relate to products that
require more than several months to manufacture. As of December 31, 1998, the
backlog for the heavy fabrication segment was $58,620,000.

As of December 31, 1998, the backlog for the fastener manufacturing and
distribution and valve manufacturing and repair segments was $7,932,000 and
$1,956,000, respectively, compared to $9,676,000 and $4,289,000 for the fastener
manufacturing and distribution segment and valve manufacturing and repair
segments, respectively, at December 31, 1997. Orders for products produced by
these segments are generally shipped within 10-20 days. Accordingly, we do not
believe that the amount of our backlog for these segments is a reliable
indication of our future sales in the segments.

REGULATION

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

We are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local
environmental laws including laws and regulations that relate to air and water
quality, impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the environment
and establish standards for the treatment, storage and disposal of toxic and
hazardous wastes. Stringent fines and penalties may be imposed for
non-compliance with these environmental laws. In addition, environmental laws
could impose liability for costs associated with investigating and remediating
contamination at our facilities or at third-party facilities at which we have
arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous materials.

Although no assurances can be given, we believe that we are in compliance
in all material respects with all environmental laws and we are not aware of any
non-compliance or obligation to investigate or remediate contamination that
could reasonably be expected to result in material liability. However, it is
possible that unanticipated factual developments could cause us to make
environmental expenditures that are significantly different from those we
currently expect. In addition, environmental laws continue to be amended and
revised to impose stricter obligations. We cannot predict the effect such future
requirements, if enacted, would have on us, although we believe that such
regulations would be enacted over time and would affect the industry as a whole.

5

HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

Our facilities and operations are governed by laws and regulations,
including the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, relating to worker
health and workplace safety. We believe that appropriate precautions are taken
to protect employees and others from workplace injuries and harmful exposure to
materials handled and managed at its facilities. While we do not anticipate that
we will be required in the near future to expend material amounts by reason of
such health and safety laws and regulations, we are unable to predict the
ultimate cost of compliance with these changing regulations.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1998, we employed approximately 2,100 persons. Of these
employees, approximately 570 are represented under one collective bargaining
agreement, which was recently renegotiated and which expires on November 20,
2002. We have not experienced a work stoppage at any of our facilities.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We manufacture our products in the United States and distribute our
products and provide services throughout North America. We have 22
manufacturing/distribution facilities and nine distribution facilities in seven
states. At December 31, 1998, these facilities contained an aggregate of
approximately 1.9 million square feet of which approximately 27% is owned and
the remainder leased.

We maintain our principal executive offices at 7135 Ardmore, Houston,
Texas. The office facility portion of this property consists of conventional
office space and is, in our opinion, adequate to meet our needs for the
foreseeable future. We believe that all existing office and warehouse facilities
leased or owned by our subsidiaries are adequate to meet our needs for the
foreseeable future and are suitable for the business conducted therein.

The following chart lists our material facilities by segment:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various claims and litigation arising in the ordinary
course of business. While there are uncertaintites inherent in the ultimate
outcome of such matters and it is impossible to currently determine the ultimate
costs that may be incurred, we believe the resolution of such uncertainties and
the incurrence of such costs should not have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of our security holders in the fourth
quarter of 1998.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate
paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to
retain future earnings to support our operations and growth. Any payment of cash
dividends in the future will be dependent on the amount of funds legally
available therefor, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and
other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Additionally,
certain of our debt agreements restrict the payment of dividends.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

We own and operate a diversified group of middle-market industrial
manufacturing and distribution businesses whose products include metal
fasteners, large and heavy pressure vessels, high pressure industrial valves and
related products and services. Operations are organized into three core business
segments: (i) fastener manufacturing and distribution; (ii) heavy fabrication;
and (iii) valve manufacturing and repair. Through a fourth segment, we also
distribute machine tools.

Our historical financial statements have been restated to include, for all
periods presented, the results of operations from each of the companies that
were acquired in acquisitions accounted for under the pooling-of-interests
method. The results of operations for companies acquired in acquisitions
accounted for under the purchase method are included in our historical financial
statements from the date of such acquisition. Since these "purchase"
acquisitions were consummated at various times, the financial information
contained herein with respect to each fiscal period does not fully reflect the
results of operations that would have been achieved had these acquisitions been
consummated at the beginning of the periods presented or which may be achieved
in the future. In connection with each "purchase" acquisition, we have
recorded goodwill to the extent the purchase price exceeded the fair market
value of the specific assets acquired.

Our results of operations are affected by the level of economic activity in
the industries served by our customers, which in turn may be affected by other
factors, including the level of economic activity in the U.S. and foreign
markets they serve. The principal industries served by our clients are the
automotive, home furnishings, petrochemical and oil and gas industries. An
economic slowdown in these industries could result in a decrease in demand for
our products and services, which could adversely affect our operating results.
During 1998, oil and gas prices declined significantly, resulting in a decrease
in the demand for our products and services that are used in the exploration and
production of oil and gas. Absent substantial increases in oil and gas prices,
we expect demand for these products and services to continue to remain depressed
from 1997 levels.

In 1998, one of our operating units, IMSCO, was moved from the valve
manufacturing and repair segment to the fastener manufacturing and distribution
segment. As a result, 1997 and 1996 segment information has been restated to
reflect the change consistent with management's view of the operations of the
business.

This section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere.

=============== =============== ==============


YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

SALES. On a consolidated basis sales increased $70,467,043 or 51% in 1998
compared to 1997.

Sales for the fastener manufacturing and distribution segment increased
$30,930,214 or 39% in 1998 compared to 1997. This increase was primarily as a
result of the acquisitions of two companies in the third quarter of 1998 and the
inclusion of a full year of operations of two companies in 1998 that were
acquired in late 1997.

The heavy fabrication segment was formed July 1, 1998 with the acquisition
of Beaird. Under the purchase method of accounting, no sales were recorded
relating to this segment prior to the second half of 1998. Sales for the six
months ended December 31, 1998 increased compared to the periods prior to the
acquisition of Beaird by approximately $13.1 million or 49% over the comparable
1997 period and $8.6 million or 27% over the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Sales increased based on a strategic decision to increase sales by expanding the
range of products manufactured.

Sales for the valve manufacturing and repair segment increased $844,512 or
2% in 1998 compared to 1997. This sales increase was almost entirely
attributable to the inclusion of a full year of operations of a company acquired
in the third quarter of 1997.

Sales for the machine tool distribution segment decreased $1,319,155 or 8%
as demand for machine tools declined in the Texas Gulf Coast region.

COST OF SALES. On a consolidated basis, cost of sales increased
$58,099,949 or 57% in 1998 compared to 1997. Cost of sales as a percentage of
sales was 76.6% in 1998 compared to 73.6% in 1997. Cost of sales as a percentage
of sales was higher on a consolidated basis primarily as a result of the
addition in 1998 of

10

the heavy fabrication segment, which typically has lower gross margins on its
large contract business in comparison to our other segments.

Cost of sales for the fastener manufacturing and distribution segment
increased $24,023,334 or 41% in 1998 compared to 1997. Cost of sales as a
percentage of sales was 75.4% in 1998 compared to 74.4% in 1997 as a result of
increased competition in this segment.

Cost of sales for the heavy fabrication segment as a percentage of sales
was 87% for the six months ended December 31, 1998. Gross margins were adversely
affected by the significant increase in sales during a period in which we were
unable to hire or retain adequate skilled workers due to the terms of our then
existing union contract that covered most of Beaird's workforce. The union
contract expired in November 1998 and the effectiveness of the workforce was
further reduced during the period of contract renegotiation. A new collective
bargaining agreement was entered into in late November 1998. We believe that the
terms of this agreement provides us with adequate flexibility to hire employees
with the appropriate skills. With the settlement of the contract and additional
new hires, Beaird experienced improvements in labor efficiency beginning in
December 1998. However, due to the increase in backlog during the third and
fourth quarters, the effects on gross margins in the fourth quarter of 1998 are
expected to continue through the first quarter of 1999 as Beaird reduces its
backlog.

Cost of sales for the valve manufacturing and repair segment increased
$887,301 or 3% compared to 1997. Cost of sales increased as a result of the
comparable increase in sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 68.1%
in 1998 compared to 67.4% in 1997. This slight increase was primarily as a
result of the effects of the decline in the oil and gas sector during 1998.

Cost of sales for the machine tool distribution segment decreased
$1,586,609 or 12% in 1998 compared to 1997 primarily as a result of the decrease
in sales described above.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. On a consolidated basis,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9,115,873 or 34% in 1998
compared to 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fastener manufacturing
and distribution segment increased $5,557,613 or 38% primarily as the result of
acquisitions in the third quarter of 1998 and the inclusion of a full year of
operations of two companies in 1998 that were acquired in late 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the heavy fabrication
segment for the six months ended December 31, 1998 relate to Beaird's operations
during the second half of 1998 and were comparable to the historical amounts
prior to the acquisition of Beaird.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the valve manufacturing
and repair segment decreased $485,806 or 6% in 1998 compared to 1997. This was
primarily as the result of the elimination of the salary and related expenses of
the president of a company who resigned in connection with our acquisition of
the company, which was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the machine tool
distribution segment for 1998 did not change significantly from 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses at corporate increased
$802,466 or 91% in 1998 compared to 1997 primarily as a result of personnel
increases and increases in professional fees that have resulted from our growth.

INTEREST EXPENSE. On a consolidated basis, interest expense increased
$2,475,790 or 101% in 1998 compared to 1997, primarily as a result of $57.7
million in debt assumed or incurred in connection with acquisitions in 1998.

INTEREST INCOME. On a consolidated basis, interest income increased
$361,541 or 226% in 1998 compared to 1997. Interest income was earned primarily
on the $10.9 million raised in January 1998 in connection with our offer to
Class B warrant holders, which was held in interest bearing accounts prior to
being used to repay debt and in acquisitions, as well as on notes receivable,
which have increased since 1997.

11

OTHER INCOME -- NET. On a consolidated basis, other income increased
$748,325 or 140% in 1998 compared to 1997. Other income in 1998 includes
$840,930 of equity in the earnings of an unconsolidated limited partnership,
which was entered into in 1998.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased $675,298 or 21% in 1998
compared to 1997. The effective tax rate for 1998 was 39.2% compared to 40.0%
for 1997.

NET INCOME. Net income was $6,008,052 in 1998 compared to $4,798,054 in
1997 as a result of the foregoing factors.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

SALES. On a consolidated basis sales increased $45,234,237 or 48% in 1997
compared to 1996.

Sales for the fastener manufacturing and distribution segment increased
$26,220,611 or 49% in 1997 compared to 1996. This was primarily as a result of
an acquisition in February 1997, the inclusion of a full year's operations of a
company acquired in November 1996 and a $3.8 million increase in sales at our
other operating subsidiaries within this segment, which was primarily
attributable to the strength of the energy sector in 1997. These increases were
partially offset by a $4.6 million decrease in sales at one of our operating
subsidiaries as a result of the loss of key salesmen in late 1996. By late 1997,
all key salesmen had been replaced and as a result, fourth quarter sales at this
subsidiary increased 21% over the third quarter and were only $198,000 less than
the fourth quarter of the preceding year.

Sales for the valve manufacturing and repair segment increased $19,816,370
or 84% in 1997 compared to 1996, primarily as a result of an acquisition in
March 1997 and an $8.5 million increase in sales at our other operating
subsidiaries within this segment. Sales increases at these subsidiaries were
primarily attributable to the strength of the energy sector in 1997.

Machine tool distribution segment sales decreased $802,746 or 5% primarily
because of delays in receipts of machine tools from manufacturers, which caused
some cancellation of orders by customers as well as deferral of shipments to
customers to 1998.

COST OF SALES. On a consolidated basis, cost of sales increased
$30,302,918 or 42% in 1997 compared to 1996. However, cost of sales as a
percentage of sales was 74% in 1997 compared to 77% in 1996.

Cost of sales for the fastener manufacturing and distribution segment
increased $17,957,704 or 44% in 1997 compared to 1996, primarily as a result of
the acquisitions in 1997 and 1996 and a $2.4 million increase in cost of sales
at our other operating subsidiaries within this segment as a result of the
increase in sales described above. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in cost of sales at one of our operating subsidiaries as a result of
the corresponding decrease in sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was
74% in 1997 compared to 77% in 1996. The 1996 cost of sales percentage was
unusually high because of the relocation of a manufacturing facility in late
1996 and the accompanying loss in production efficiency during the period of the
relocation.

Cost of sales for the valve manufacturing and repair segment increased
$12,695,609 or 77% primarily as the result of an acquisition in March 1997 and a
$5.1 million increase in cost of sales at our other operating subsidiaries
within this segment as a result of the increase in sales described above. Cost
of sales as a percentage of sales was 67% in 1997 compared to 70% in 1996 as
higher margin sales were achieved as a result of the strength in the energy
sector during 1997.

Cost of sales for the machine tool distribution segment decreased $350,395
or 3% as a result of the decrease in sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of
sales was 86% in 1997 compared to 84% in 1996. The increase in cost of sales as
a percentage of sales was primarily due to the opening in 1997 of a crating
facility located at the Houston Ship Channel and to increased lumber costs.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. On a consolidated basis,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9,691,110 or 56% in 1997
compared to 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fastener manufacturing
and distribution segment increased $5,833,066 or 65% primarily as the result of
the acquisitions in 1997 and 1996 and an $849,342

12

increase in selling, general and administrative expenses at our other operating
subsidiaries within this segment. The increase at our operating subsidiaries was
the result of the increase in sales described above. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased at a greater percentage than sales because of
the inclusion of goodwill amortization associated with the acquisitions in 1997
and 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the valve manufacturing
and repair segment increased $3,435,038 or 64% primarily as the result of an
acquisition in March 1997 and a $2.3 million increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses at our other operating subsidiaries within this segment
due to increased sales. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses at one of our other operating
subsidiaries in this segment. This increase was less than the related increase
in sales as most costs at that subsidiary are accounted for as cost of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the machine tool
distribution segment increased $337,612 or 16% for 1997 compared to 1996
primarily as a result of the hiring of four additional sales people in 1997.

There was no significant change in corporate selling, general and
administrative expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE. On a consolidated basis, interest expense increased
$545,974 or 29% in 1997 compared to 1996. The increase was the result of
increases in debt related to two acquisitions in November 1996 and February
1997. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense at
one of our other operating subsidiaries as a result of a $3,093,000 conversion
of debt to equity in 1997.

OTHER INCOME -- NET. On a consolidated basis, other income increased
$423,388 or 379% in 1997 compared to 1996. This increase was primarily the
result of a $270,000 insurance gain related to a fire at an unused manufacturing
facility and a $140,000 gain on the sale of equipment.

INCOME TAXES. Income taxes increased $2,182,108 or 215% in 1997 compared
to 1996. The effective tax rate for 1997 was 40% compared to 35% for 1996.
During 1996, we reduced our deferred tax asset valuation allowance by $239,000.
No similar reduction occurred in 1997.

NET INCOME. Net income was $4,798,054 in 1997 compared to $1,863,262 in
1996 as a result of the foregoing factors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1998, we had working capital of $10,752,741, short-term
debt of $41,386,422, current maturities of long-term debt of $23,049,999,
long-term debt of $29,648,637 and shareholders' equity of $64,970,036.
Historically, our principal liquidity requirements and uses of cash have been
for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and acquisition
financing, and our principal sources of liquidity and cash have been from cash
flows from operations, borrowings under long-term debt arrangements and
issuances of equity securities. We have financed acquisitions through bank
borrowings, sales of equity and internally generated funds.

NET CASH USED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES. For the year ended December 31,
1998, net cash used by operating activities was $6.3 million compared to 1997
and 1996, which provided cash of $3.2 million and $2.1 million. The cash used in
1998 was primarily as a result of the acquisition of Beaird and the related net
increases in receivables, inventory, other assets and accounts payable over
those acquired. Beaird's receivables and inventories increased as sales
increased for the six months ended December 31, 1998 compared to the six month
period ended June 30, 1998, which was prior to the Beaird acquisition.
Additionally, receivables and payables increased at Beaird as $7.0 million in
accounts receivable and all liabilities were distributed to the seller prior to
acquisition. Cash was provided in 1997 and 1996 primarily because net income and
depreciation and amortization were greater than increases in current assets
resulting from increased sales.

NET CASH USED BY INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Principal uses of cash are for
capital expenditures and acquisitions. For 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company made
capital expenditures of approximately $5.0

13

million, $3.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Other significant
investing activities included acquisitions. The aggregate cash purchase price
for acquisitions was $58.1 million in 1998, $18.9 million in 1997 and $11.4
million in 1996.

NET CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Our principal sources of cash
are from financing activities, including borrowings under our credit facilities,
and sales of equity securities. Financing activities provided net cash of $16.8
million in 1998 compared to using cash of $0.4 million in 1997 and providing
cash of $3.3 million in 1996. During 1998, we issued common stock providing net
proceeds of $12.9 million compared to net proceeds of $2.1 million in 1997 and
$6.2 million in 1996. During 1998 we completed an offer to the holders of our
Class B warrants to exchange each Class B warrant and $10.00 cash for one share
of common stock, one Class C warrant and one Class D warrant, from which we
received net proceeds of $10.9 million after deducting approximately $0.1
million of related expenses. The 1998 common stock proceeds were used to repay
$1.6 million in term debt and to fund acquisitions. During 1998, we borrowed
$13.0 million under our credit facilities compared to $2.9 million and $2.0
million during 1997 and 1996.

PRINCIPAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. As of December 31, 1998, we had an aggregate
of $94.1 million borrowed under our principal bank credit facility and debt
instruments entered into or assumed in connection with acquisitions as well as
other bank financings. Of these borrowed amounts, $23.0 million is scheduled to
mature during 1999. Certain of our debt arrangements contain requirements as to
the maintenance of minimum levels of working capital and net worth, minimum
ratios of debt to cash flow, cash flow to certain fixed charges, liabilities to
tangible net worth and capital expenditures. At December 31, 1998, we were not
in compliance with several of these covenants; however we obtained waivers for
the non-compliance from those lenders. In the future, we may not be able to
comply with all of these covenants and no assurance can be given that if unable
to comply, we will be able to obtain waivers from our lenders.

We are currently exploring various financing alternatives to meet our
future liquidity needs. We anticipate refinancing certain of our debt facilities
in the second quarter of 1999, although no assurances can be given that we will
be able to refinance such facilities or that we will be able to obtain terms
that are as favorable as those that currently exist.

Our existing credit facility is a revolving line of credit with Comerica
Bank -- Texas. The principal amount is the lesser of $45 million or a defined
borrowing base. The credit facility bears interest at the prime rate of Comerica
(which was 7.75% at December 31, 1998) and allows the borrowing of funds based
on 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible inventory. At
December 31, 1998, the borrowing capacity under the credit facility was $45
million and availability was $1.2 million. At March 26, 1999, the borrowing
capacity was $45 million and availability was $2.2 million.

We entered into a loan from a financial institution in the principal amount
of $15 million that matures in November 1999. This loan bears interest at Libor
plus 5.0%. In connection with the acquisitions of businesses, we also have
entered into various term loans secured by machinery, equipment and real estate
of the businesses acquired and issued a convertible debenture in connection with
the acquisition of Beaird. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

BELLELI ENERGY. In 1998, we entered into an option agreement that grants
us the right to purchase approximately 95% of Belleli Energy S.r.L.
("Belleli") through 2003. Belleli is an Italian company that manufactures
thick walled pressure vessels and heat exchangers, as well as designs,
engineers, constructs and erects components for desalination, electric power and
petrochemical plants. The option agreement calls for two payments annually
totaling approximately $600,000 in 1999, $700,000 in 2000, $800,000 in 2001 and
$400,000 in 2002.

We have agreed during the option period to support the financing of Belleli
in order for it to achieve its operating plan. We anticipate that the majority
of this financing will take the form of providing bonding for projects that
Belleli undertakes, and to a lesser extent, working capital infusions. At
December 31, 1998, we have provided $400,000 in working capital loans, which are
supported by accounts receivable, and $520,000 in bonding support in the form of
letters of credit, $254,000 of which have expired subsequent to

14

year end. We currently anticipate that Belleli may need up to $20 million in
financial support from us through the end of 1999 which may be in the form of
bonding, working capital loans or other financing. To date, we have been able to
provide financing support to Belleli through bonding arrangements with our bank
and cash flow from operations; however, even if we are successful in refinancing
certain of our debt facilities in the second quarter, there can be no assurance
that such sources will continue to be available to the extent necessary to
provide adequate support to Belleli, which would require us to pursue additional
sources of financing on terms that may be less desirable or advantageous than
our current arrangements or force us to sell to a third party all or part of our
rights to purchase Belleli.

INFLATION

Although we believe that inflation has not had any material effect on
operating results, our business may be affected by inflation in the future.

SEASONALITY

We believe that our business is not subject to any significant seasonal
factors, and do not anticipate significant seasonality in the future.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

We are exposed to the risk that the year 2000 issue (the "Year 2000
Issue") could cause system failures or miscalculations causing disruption of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.
During 1997, we undertook a corporate-wide initiative designed to assess the
impact of the Year 2000 Issue on software and hardware utilized in our
operations, including information technology infrastructure ("IT") and
embedded manufacturing control technology ("Non-IT") and the impact, if any,
that the year 2000 issue, as it relates to customers and suppliers could have on
our business.

This initiative is being conducted in three phases: assessment,
implementation and testing. During the assessment phase, we completed a
comprehensive inventory of IT and Non-IT systems and equipment. Many of our IT
systems include hardware and packaged software recently purchased from large
vendors who have represented that these systems are already year 2000 compliant.
However, we have determined that it will be necessary to modify portions of our
financial and accounting software.

We believe that with modifications to existing software, the Year 2000
Issue can be mitigated. The implementation of these remediation efforts is
underway and is expected to be completed by June 30, 1999. However, if such
modifications are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue
could have a material impact on operations. We plan to complete the testing of
the year 2000 modifications as these modifications are implemented. We have not
established a contingency plan but intend to formulate one to address
unavoidable risks, and we expect to have the contingency plan formulated by
mid-1999.

We do not currently rely on the IT systems of other companies; however,
failure of our suppliers or customers to become year 2000 compliant might have a
material adverse impact on our operations. We intend to continue to pursue an
acquisition strategy and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the IT
systems being used by an acquired company will be compliant with the Year 2000
Issue or that any such conversion or failure to convert an acquired system would
not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.

Efforts with respect to the Year 2000 Issue have been handled internally by
our management and our other employees. Costs of developing and carrying out
this initiative are being funded from operations and have not represented a
material expense. We have not completed our remediation efforts but currently
believe that the costs of the Year 2000 Issue will not be significant and will
not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results
of operations or cashflows.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued SFAS No. 132, Employer's Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits, which revises certain disclosure requirements about
pensions and postretirement benefits. It does not change the measurement or
recognition of these plans and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997.

In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants reached a consensus on Statement of
Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, which provides guidance on accounting
for the costs of computer software. SOP No. 98-1 is effective for the fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1998. We are evaluating what, if any, impact
this SOP will have on us upon implementation.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instrument and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instrument embedded in other contracts. This
statement is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. We
are currently evaluating what impact adoption of this statement will have on our
consolidated financial statements.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes "forward looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than
statements of historical fact included in this report are forward looking
statements. Such forward looking statements include, without limitation,
statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" regarding our
estimate of sufficiency of existing capital resources and ability to raise
additional capital to fund cash requirements for future operations. Although we
believe that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that the expectations reflected in such
forward looking statements will prove to have been correct. The ability to
achieve these expectations is contingent upon a number of factors, which include
demand for products, need for additional capital for newly acquired companies
and the ability to complete new acquisitions.

ITEM 7.A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the
value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

We are exposed to some market risk due to the floating interest rate under
our revolving line of credit. Under the revolving line of credit, the principal
balance is due in June 2000. As of December 31, 1998, the revolving line of
credit had a principal balance of $41.4 million at a floating interest rate of
7.75% per annum. We also have $27.0 million of long-term debt bearing interest
at Libor plus 2.5% to 5%. The Libor rate as of December 31, 1998 was 5.56%. A
1.0% increase in interest rates could result in a $0.7 million annual increase
in interest expense on the existing principal balance. We have determined that
it is not necessary to participate in interest rate-related derivative financial
instruments because we currently do not expect significant short-term increases
in interest rates charged under the revolving line of credit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Industrial Holdings, Inc.
Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Industrial
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' 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. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the mergers of the
Company and GHX, Incorporated and Subsidiary ("GHX"), Whir Acquisition, Inc.,
d/b/a/ Ameritech Fastener Manufacturing, Inc. ("Ameritech"), Moores Pump and
Supply, Inc. ("Moores") and United Wellhead Services, Inc. ("UWS") in 1998,
all of which have been accounted for as a poolings-of-interest as described in
Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. We did not audit the balance
sheet of Ameritech as of December 31, 1997, or the related statements of income,
shareholders' equity, or cash flows for the year then ended, such statements
reflect total assets of $610,000 as of December 31, 1997 and total sales of
$1,695,000 for the year then ended. We did not audit the consolidated balance
sheet of UWS as of December 31, 1997, or the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity or cash flows for the year then ended, which
statements reflect total assets of $4,897,000 as of December 31, 1997 and total
revenues of $11,237,000 for the year then ended. Those statements were audited
by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Ameritech and UWS for 1997, is
based solely on the reports of such other auditors. We did not audit the
financial statements of Moores for the year ended April 30, 1997, such
statements reflect $13,419,000 of sales for the year then ended. We did not
audit the consolidated financial statements of GHX for the year ended June 30,
1997, such statements reflect $21,849,000 of net sales for the year then ended.
Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have
been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for Moores and GHX for such periods, is based solely on the reports of
such other auditors. As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements, subsequent to the issuance of the reports of the other auditors, the
financial statements of Moores and the consolidated financial statements of GHX
were restated to conform to the fiscal year of the Company for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 and reports of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, such
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended
December 31, 1996, prior to their restatement for the 1998
poolings-of-interests, were audited by other auditors, and their report dated
March 5, 1997, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The
consolidated financial statements of UWS for the year ended December 31, 1996
were also previously audited by other auditors, and their report dated February
12, 1998 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The financial
statements of Ameritech for the year ended December 31, 1996 were also
previously audited by other auditors, and their report dated January 22, 1998
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The consolidated financial
statements of GHX for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were also
previously

F-2

audited by other auditors, and their report dated September 19, 1997 expressed
an unqualified opinion on those statements. The financial statements of Moores
for the years ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 were also previously audited by
other auditors, and their report dated June 17, 1997 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements. We audited the adjustments described in Note 3 that
were applied to restate the 1997 and 1996 financial statements of Moores and the
1997 and 1996 consolidated financial statements of GHX. In our opinion, such
adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We audited the
combination of the accompanying consolidated statements of income, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996, after restatement
for the 1998 poolings-of-interest. In our opinion, such consolidated statements
have been properly combined on the basis described in Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements.

INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION:

The consolidated financial statements, as presented, give retroactive
effect to the 1998 acquisitions accounted for a poolings-of-interest (see Note
3). Industrial Holdings, Inc., incorporated in August 1989, operates in four
business segments.

(i) FASTENER MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION which manufactures industrial
metal fasteners and metal components for sale primarily to
manufacturers in the home furnishings and automotive industries and
which manufactures and distributes industrial metal fasteners and
fabricates and distributes gasket, hose, fittings and other products
primarily to the petrochemical and chemical refining and oil and gas
industries;

(ii) HEAVY FABRICATION which manufactures and distributes medium and
thick-walled pressure vessels, gas turbine casings, heat exchangers
and other large machine weldments primarily to customers in the
electric power, marine, petrochemical and medical equipment
industries;

(iii) VALVE MANUFACTURING AND REPAIR which remanufactures and sells pumps
and high pressure valves, including pipelines valves, blow out
preventers, manifold valves and wellhead valves, and distributes
other products primarily to the petrochemical, chemical and
petroleum refining industries, the pipeline transportation and
storage industries and energy industries; and

(iv) MACHINE SALES AND SERVICE which sells new and used machine tools and
provides export crating services.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Industrial
Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

For the majority of its operations, the Company recognizes revenues upon
shipment of its product or upon completion of services it renders. Revenues and
profits on long-term contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion
method. The percentage-of-completion is determined by relating costs or labor
incurred to date to management's estimate of total costs or total labor,
respectively, to be incurred on each contract. Revisions of estimates are
reflected in the year in which the facts necessatating the revisions become
known. If a loss is indicated on any contract in process, a provision is made
currently for the entire loss. There are no significant amounts included in the
accompanying balance sheet that are not expected to be recovered from existing
contracts at current contract values, or that are not expected to be collected
within one year.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on a
current review of the collectibility of the accounts. Accounts deemed
uncollectible are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The
allowance for doubtful accounts was $606,874 and $256,159 at December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

CREDIT RISK

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of
business and generally does not require collateral or other security. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'

F-14

INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
financial condition and historically has not incurred significant credit losses.
Notes receivable are collateralized by land, buildings and equipment.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments consist of primarily cash, trade
accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, and debt instruments.
The book value of cash, trade accounts receivables and accounts payable are
representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of
these instruments. It is not practicable to estimate the fair values of the
related party amounts (see Note 9) due to the nature of the instruments. The
fair values of the Company's debt instruments (see Notes 7 and 8) are
representative of their carrying values based upon (i) variable rate terms or
(ii) management's opinion that the existing rates are equivalent to the current
rates offered to the Company for fixed-rate long-term debt with the same
maturities and security structure. The fair value of notes receivable
approximates its carrying value and is estimated by discounting the future cash
flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes, where
applicable, manufacturing labor and overhead. The first-in, first-out method
("FIFO") is used to determine the cost of substantially all of the inventories
except for certain valve inventories for which the specific identification
method is used to determine the cost.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets (3 to 15 years for furniture and fixtures, machinery and
equipment and leasehold improvements and 35 years for buildings). Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments
are capitalized.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in
operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be
impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market
value of net tangible assets acquired. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, goodwill
was $29,643,301 and $12,292,036 net of accumulated amortization of $2,446,617
and $1,369,835, respectively. Other intangible assets consist primarily of loan
origination fees. Goodwill and other intangible assets are amortized over 5 to
30 years. Amortization expense was $1,122,355, $628,073, and $287,937 for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

The Company utilizes the liability method in accounting for income taxes.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share
has been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares.

F-15

INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and
diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated, with 1996 being restated
to conform with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128, Earnings Per Share, described below:

============== ============== ==============


There were 882,250 options for 1998 that were not included in EPS because
the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents
include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less at the date of purchase. Changes in assets and liabilities are presented
net of the effect of the purchase of business.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company's 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
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management
believes that the estimates made in connection with these financial statements
are reasonable.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-year amounts to
conform to the current-year classification.

F-16

INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 ("SFAS No. 132"),
Employer's Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which
revises certain disclosure requirements about pensions and postretirement
benefits. It does not change the measurement or recognition of these plans and
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instrument and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instrument embedded in other contracts. This
statement is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
Company is currently evaluating what impact adoption of this statement will have
on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 1997 the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
The statement was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997
and required retroactive presentation of comprehensive income for all periods
presented. For each of the years in the three years ended December 31, 1998, the
Company had no transactions which would have given rise to comprehensive income.

In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee ("AcSEC") of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accounting ("AICPA") reached a
consensus on Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, Accounting for the Cost
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, which provides
guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software. SOP No. 98-1 is
effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1998. Management is
evaluating what, if any, impact this SOP will have on the Company upon
implementation.

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS:

In February 1998, the Company acquired Philform, in July 1998, the Company
acquired Beaird Industries, Inc. ("Beaird"), in August 1998, the Company
acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Ideal Products
("Ideal"), in August 1998, the Company acquired A&B Bolt and Supply, Inc.
("A&B") and in September 1998, the Company acquired the assets of Erie
Manufacturing. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions were $58.1
million cash and assumed liabilities plus 1,227,854 shares of common stock
valued at $10.5 million. The aggregate excess of cost over fair value of net
assets acquired was $16.0 million. The final purchase price allocation of
Philform, Beaird, Ideal and A&B are subject to certain adjustments relating to
the appraised value of assets, final purchase price adjustments and to certain
other accruals. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective
acquisition dates.

In March 1998, the Company acquired WHIR Acquisition, Inc., doing business
as Ameritech Fastener Manufacturing, Inc. ("Ameritech") and GHX, Incorporated
("GHX"). In April 1998, the Company acquired Moores Pump and Supply, Inc.
("Moores") and in July 1998, the Company acquired United Wellhead Services,
Inc. ("UWS") in transactions accounted for as pooling-of-interest (the
"Poolings"). In the Poolings the outstanding capital stock of Ameritech, GHX,
Moores and UWS (together, the "Pooled Companies") was exchanged for 3,665,036
shares of the Company's common stock.

For purposes of restating the Company's consolidated financial statements
to give retroactive effect to the Poolings, the consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the two-year
period ended December 31, 1997 were combined with (i) the financial statements
of Ameritech as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the two year period ended
December 31, 1997, (ii) the financial statements of Moores as of December 31,
1997 and 1996 and for the two-year period ended December 31, 1997, and (iii) the
consolidated financial statements of UWS, GHX and Moores as of

F-17

INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the two-year period ended December 31, 1997.
The consolidated financial statements of GHX as of June 30, 1997 and for the
two-year period then ended and the financial statements of Moores as of April
30, 1997 and for the two-year period then ended have been restated to conform to
the fiscal year of the Company. The Company's consolidated financial statements
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the two-year period ended December 31,
1997 include all necessary adjustments to conform the fiscal periods of the
Pooled Companies as previously presented to that of the Company.

In February 1997, the Company acquired LSS-Lone Star-Houston, Inc. ("Lone
Star"), in March 1997, the Company acquired Manifold Valve Services, Inc.
("MVS"), in May 1997, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of SRG Texas, Inc. and SRG Products Corporation (collectively,
"SRG" or "GHX-Deer Park"), in August 1997, the Company acquired the assets
and assumed certain liabilities of Rogers Equipment ("Rogers") and in November
1997, the Company acquired WALKER Bolt Manufacturing ("WALKER"). The aggregate
purchase price of the acquisitions was $18.9 million cash and assumed
liabilities plus 728,461 shares of common stock valued at $5,680,000. The
aggregate excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired was $7.4
million. In November 1996, the Company acquired American Rivet Company, Inc.
("American") for $11.4 cash and assumed liabilities. The aggregate excess of
cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in connection with the American
acquisition was $3.7 million. These acquisitions have been accounted for by the
purchase method of accounting and, accordingly assets and liabilities have been
recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The results
of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated
financial statements from the respective acquisition dates.

On a pro forma unaudited basis, as if the 1998 and 1997 acquisitions as
described above which were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
had occurred as of January 1, 1997, sales, net income and basic and diluted
earnings per share would have been $265,386,000, $7,701,000, $.59 and $.55 for
1998 and $262,875,000, $9,977,000, $.89 and $.82 for 1997. On a pro forma
unaudited basis, as if the 1997 and 1996 acquisitions had occurred as of January
1, 1996, sales, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would have
been $146,310,000, $5,266,000, $.52 and $.48 for 1997 and $128,081,000,
$2,746,000, $.33 and $.30 for 1996. The pro forma financial information does not
purport to be indicative either of results of operations that would have
occurred had the purchases been made at January 1, 1997 or 1996 or future
results of operations of the combined companies.

compliance with several of these covenants. Subsequently, the Company has
received waivers on compliance with these covenants from the applicable lending
institutions.

9. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

expense on all operating leases amounted to $2,827,226, $1,843,267 and
$1,710,039 for the years 1998, 1997 and 1996. Future minimum lease payments are
as follows:



Year ended December 31:
1999............................ $ 2,090,001
2000............................ 1,839,786
2001............................ 1,353,886
2002............................ 1,048,745
2003............................ 561,238
Thereafter...................... 1,335,955
------------
$ 8,229,611
============


Lease commitments to related parties are $188,000, $116,000, $96,000 for
1999, 2000, 2001, respectively, and $56,800 annually thereafter through 2003
with an option to renew one building lease for an additional five years.
Additionally, the Company has an option to purchase that same leased premises at
a price equal to the outstanding indebtedness at the time the option is
exercised.

In connection with its 1998 acquisition of GHX, an officer of the Company
who was a minority shareholder of GHX, received 24,345 shares of the Company's
common stock.

During 1998, the Company paid St. James Capital Corp. $1,000,000 in
advisory fees in connection with the acquisitions of various companies. Mr. John
Thompson, a director of the Company is also a director and president of St.
James Capital Corp.

In connection with the 1997 purchase of Lone Star, the Company issued a
note payable to the former shareholder and president of Lone Star with quarterly
principal and interest payments of $30,575, maturing in January 2002 (see Note
8).

During 1996, the Company and a partnership providing a portion of the
financing for the American acquisition, entered into a consulting agreement
whereby the Company provided consulting services to the

F-21

INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

partnership relating to the acquisition and operations of one of the
partnership's investee companies. Fees for these consulting services were
$100,000 and are included in other income, net in 1996.

In 1998, the Company entered into an option agreement which grants the
Company the right to purchase approximately 95% of Belleli Energy S.r.L. through
2003. Belleli is an Italian company that manufactures thick-walled pressure
vessels and heat exchangers, as well as designs, engineers, constructs and
erects components for desalination, electric power and petrochemical plants. The
option agreement calls for two payments annually totaling approximately $600,000
in 1999, $700,000 in 2000, $800,000 in 2001 and $400,000 in 2002. At December
31, 1998, the Company had made one payment in the amount of $287,500.
Additionally, under the option agreement, the Company is to provide certain
financing to Belleli. At December 31, 1998, the Company had a note receivable
from Belleli for $400,000 which is secured by accounts receivable and had
provided letters of credit to customers and suppliers of Belleli totaling
$520,000, $254,000 of which have expired subsequent to year end. The Company
currently anticipates that Belleli may need up to $20 million in financial
support from the Company through the end of 1999. To date, the Company has been
able to provide financing support to Belleli through bonding arrangements with
its bank and cash flow from its operations; however, there can be no assurance
that such sources will continue to be available to the extent necessary to
provide adequate support to Belleli, which would require the Company to pursue
other sources of financing on terms that may be less desirable or advantageous
than its current arrangements, or force the Company to sell to a third party all
or part of its rights to purchase Belleli.

In connection with the 1992 purchase of Landreth Engineering Company
("Landreth"), former Landreth shareholders were entitled to additional
consideration based upon the level of Landreth's pretax profits through 1997,
not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. For 1996, the Company paid these
shareholders $29,491 as additional consideration. No amounts were payable under
this agreement for 1997 and no further obligation exists.

In connection with the 1992 purchase of Pipeline Valve Specialty Company,
Inc. ("PVS"), the former PVS shareholders agreed not to sell their shares
except in accordance with an agreement with the Company. The Company was
obligated to pay two of the former PVS shareholders the difference between $5
per share and the proceeds they received upon sale of their common stock. These
obligations were satisfied in 1996.

At December 31, 1998, the Company had $2,422,000 in letters of credit
outstanding.

The Company is involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of its
business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liabilities, if any, as a
result of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations or cash flows.

10. INCOME TAXES:

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31 is as
follows:

============ ============ ============


The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
return. At December 31, 1998, the Company has net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards of approximately $1,296,000 for income tax purposes which expire
in 2007 and 2009. These losses may presently be offset against the future income
of

F-22

INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

the applicable subsidiary only. Of the carryforward amount, $296,000 may be used
at any time prior to its expiration. The remaining net operating loss
carryforwards are subject to annual limitations.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the carrying amounts for income tax purposes, primarily resulting
from the acquisitions of the Company's subsidiaries. During 1996 the Company
reduced the deferred tax asset valuation allowance by $239,000 to reflect
$101,000 in deferred tax assets used and to recognize deferred tax assets of
$138,000. The recognized deferred tax assets are based upon expected utilization
of net operating loss carryforwards of its subsidiaries. The Rex Group, Inc.
("REX") and United Wellhead Services, Inc. ("UWS"), and reversal of certain
temporary differences. The Company has assessed its past earnings history and
trends and that of its subsidiaries, as well as expected revenues, cost
reductions and expiration dates of carryforwards and has determined that it is
more likely than not these deferred tax assets will be realized.

The major components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at
December 31 are as follows:

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

At December 31, 1998, the Company has a stock-based compensation plan under
which shares or options can be granted to employees. The Company measures
compensation cost for this plan using the intrinsic value method of accounting
prescribed by APB Option No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Given the terms of the plan, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock
options granted under the plan.

Under the 1998 Incentive Stock Plan ("Plan"), the Company may grant
incentive or nonqualified options to key employees. As of December 31, 1998,
there were 2.3 million shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the
Employee Plan. The option price per share is generally the fair market value on
the date the option is granted and each option is exercisable into one share of
common stock. The options under the Employee Plan are exercisable immediately to
five years after the grant date in accordance with the vesting provisions of the
individual agreements set forth at the time of the award. All options expire ten
years from the date of the grant.

The Company's reported net income and earnings per share would have been
reduced had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans
been determined using the fair value method of accounting as set forth in SAFS
No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." For purposes of estimating
the fair value disclosures below, the fair value of each stock option has been
estimated on the grant date with a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the
following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; expected
volatility range of .445% to .460%, a risk-free interest rate of 5.75%; and
expected lives of 3 to 6 years for stock options granted. The effects of using
the fair value method of accounting on net income and earnings per share are
indicated in the pro forma amounts below:

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

The Company maintains various 401(k) savings plans which permit
participants to contribute up to 18 percent of their compensation each year. The
Company will match a percentage of a participant's contributions, subject to
specified limits. The Company's results of operations reflect expenses
associated with the plan of approximately $359,000, $230,000 and $132,000 for
1998, 1997 and 1996.

July 1, 1998, the Company acquired Beaird. Beaird has a non-contributory
defined benefit plan covering its union employees. The plan provides benefits
that are generally based on years of service. Annual contributions to the plan
are sufficient to satisfy legal requirements.
