ITEM 2.     ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

            On March 16, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), Innovative Valve
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), acquired (the
"Acquisition") IPS Holding, Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("IPS Holding"), and
its direct and indirect subsidiaries, International Piping Services Company,
IPSCO (U.K.) Limited, Mid-America Energies, Corp. and IPSCO-Florida, Inc. (the
"IPSCO Subsidiaries" and, collectively with IPS Holding, "IPSCO") through (i) a
merger of IPS Holding with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
("Acquisition Sub"), and (ii) several stock purchase transactions with the
minority stockholders of the IPSCO Subsidiaries. The Company completed the
Acquisition pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated as of March 16, 1998, among
the Company, Acquisition Sub, the stockholders of IPS Holding and IPSCO, and
several separate Stock Acquisition Agreements among the Company and the minority
stockholders of the IPSCO Subsidiaries, who collectively owned all of the equity
ownership interests of the IPSCO Subsidiaries not owned by IPS Holding. As
consideration for the Acquisition, the Company (i) paid an aggregate cash
acquisition price of $7,776,632, and (ii) issued 807,828 shares of Company
common stock. In addition, IPSCO had outstanding indebtedness of $4,078,233
which became indebtedness of Acquisition Sub. The Company funded the payment of
the cash acquisition price through borrowings under its credit facility with
Chase Bank of Texas, National Association, as agent, and the other lenders party
thereto. The parties determined the consideration for the Acquisition through
arm's-length negotiations.

            IPSCO, with its headquarters in Downers Grove, Illinois and through
its domestic operating locations in Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, North
Carolina and Texas and its international operations in England, Germany and the
United Arab Emirates, provides on-line piping and valve services which include
hot tapping, line stopping and leak sealing. In addition, IPSCO manufactures
certain small diameter hot tapping and line stopping machinery for sale to
industrial customers and service companies engaged in the provision of hot
tapping and line stopping services. The customer base for IPSCO's on-line
services includes the chemical, petrochemical and municipal water industries.
The Company intends to use the acquired operations in the manner previously used
by IPSCO.

            A copy of the Company's March 19, 1998 press release that relates to
the Acquisition is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and incorporated
herein by reference thereto.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To IPS Holding, Ltd.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IPS
Holding, Ltd. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries, as of March 31, 1997
and February 28, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 1997 and for
the eleven months ended February 28, 1998. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.

     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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position,
of IPS Holding, Ltd. and subsidiaries, as of March 31, 1997 and February 28,
1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year
ended March 31, 1997 and for the eleven months ended February 28, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

     The consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows include IPS Holding, Ltd. ("IPS
Holding"), IPSCO U.S., Corp. ("IPSCO U.S."), IPSCO Gmbh ("IPSCO Gmbh") and
IPSCO U.K., Ltd. ("IPSCO U.K.") (collectively, "IPS Holding, Ltd." or the
"Company"). The Company has operations located in the United States, Europe
and the Middle East.

     IPS Holding, Ltd. is principally engaged in the business of on-line repair
services and specializing in the provision of hot tapping and line stopping
equipment and services to municipal water and industrial customers in order to
prevent shutdowns or outages during maintenance, retrofitting alterations,
emergencies and new construction.

2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
IPS Holding, Ltd. and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Minority interest expense
reflects the minority shareholders' interest in the net income of certain
subsidiaries.

  CASH

     Cash includes all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity
of three months or less. Cash payments for interest during the year ended March
31, 1997 and the eleven months ended February 28, 1998 were approximately
$194,000 and $361,000. Cash payments for taxes during the year ended March 31,
1997 and the eleven months ended February 28, 1998 were approximately $396,000
and $542,000.

  INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The costs of major improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance,
repairs and minor improvements are expensed as incurred. When property and
equipment are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
removed and the resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations.

  INCOME TAXES

     The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred income taxes are
recorded based upon differences between the 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 underlying assets or liabilities are recovered
or settled.

  REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Service revenue is recognized on performance, and sales revenue is
recognized as products are shipped or delivered.

  USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the

                                        6

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     The Company's financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are reported in
U.S. dollars. Foreign subsidiaries using the local currency as their functional
currency translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars using the
current rate method. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of
exchange in effect at year-end, common stock and additional paid-in capital are
translated using historical rates and revenue and expense accounts are
translated at the average rates of exchange in effect during the year.
Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders'
equity rather than directly to operations.

     Actual income tax expense differs from income tax expense computed by
applying the U.S. federal statutory corporate tax rate to income before income
taxes as follows:

     Deferred income tax provisions result from temporary differences in the
recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting purposes and for tax
purposes. The primary source of temporary differences is depreciation on
property and equipment.

11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

     On March 16, 1998, Innovative Valve Technologies, Inc. ("Invatec")
acquired all the outstanding stock of IPS Holding, Ltd. and subsidiaries. The
total consideration was in excess of the recorded amounts of the Company's net
assets. In conjunction with the acquisition, certain notes payable and the line
of credit were paid off.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 99.3

           INNOVATIVE VALVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND ACQUIRED BUSINESSES
              UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                              BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Innovative Valve Technologies, Inc. ("Invatec") was incorporated in
Delaware in March 1997 to create the leading single-source provider of
comprehensive maintenance, repair, replacement and value-added distribution
services for industrial valves and related process-system components throughout
North America. Except for its purchase of Steam Supply and Rubber Co., Inc. and
three related entities (collectively, "Steam Supply") in July 1997, Invatec
conducted no operations of its own prior to the closing on October 28, 1997 of
(i) its initial public offering (the "IPO") of its common stock, par value
$.001 per share ("Common Stock"), (ii) its purchase of Industrial Controls &
Equipment, Inc. and three related entities (collectively, "ICE/VARCO") and
Southern Valve Services, Inc. and a related entity (collectively, "SSV") and
(iii) a merger (the "SSI Merger") in which The Safe Seal Company, Inc.
("SSI") became its subsidiary. Earlier in 1997, SSI had purchased Harley
Industries, Inc. ("Harley"), GSV, Inc. ("GSV") and Plant Specialties, Inc.
("PSI"). SSI and its subsidiaries were affiliates of Invatec prior to the SSI
Merger.

     For financial reporting purposes, SSI is presented as the "accounting
acquirer" of Steam Supply, ICE/VARCO, SVS, Harley, GSV and PSI (collectively,
the "Initial Acquired Businesses"), and, as used herein, the term "Company"
means (i) SSI and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to October 31, 1997 and
(ii) Invatec and its consolidated subsidiaries (including SSI) on that date and
thereafter.
   
     For accounting purposes, the effective dates of the acquisitions of the
Initial Acquired Businesses in 1997 are as follows: (i) Harley -- January 31;
(ii) GSV -- February 28; (iii) PSI -- May 31, (iv) Steam Supply -- July 31, and
(v) ICE/VARCO and SVS -- October 31. Following the IPO, the Company acquired
Dalco, Inc. ("Dalco") and three other additional businesses in 1997. The
effective date of the acquisitions of Dalco and the three other additional
businesses acquired in 1997 is November 30, 1997. In the first quarter of 1998,
the Company acquired three businesses, including Cypress Industries Inc.
("Cypress") and IPS Holding, Ltd., ("IPSCO") (together with the Initial
Acquired Businesses, Dalco and the other businesses acquired during 1997, the
"Acquired Businesses"). The Company accounted for the Acquired Businesses in
accordance with the purchase method of accounting. The allocation of the
purchase prices paid to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the
acquisitions of the Acquired Businesses has been recorded initially on the basis
of preliminary estimates of fair value and may be revised, within one year of
acquisition, as additional information concerning the valuation of those assets
and liabilities becomes available. In management's opinion, the preliminary
allocation of the purchase prices is not expected to differ materially from the
final allocation. To date, there have not been any material changes to goodwill
as a result of purchase price allocations being finalized.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations on page 4
presents historical information as adjusted to give effect to the following
events and transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 1997: (i) the
formation and organizational financing of Invatec; (ii) the SSI Merger; (iii)
the acquisitions of Acquired Businesses in 1997 and the financing of those
acquisitions; (iv) reverse stock splits of the outstanding Common Stock and the
SSI common stock effected in connection with the IPO; (v) the IPO and Invatec's
application of its net proceeds therefrom; and (vi) the issuance of shares of
Common Stock to repay indebtedness the Company owed to subsidiaries of Philip
Services Corp. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "Philip"). The unaudited
pro forma combined statement of operations on pages 3 and 5 condenses the
unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations information on page 4
under the caption "The Company" and adjusts that information to give effect to
the acquisitions of Acquired Businesses in 1998 (through March 31) and the
financing of these acquisitions. All the pro forma statements convert the
results of operations of the Acquired Businesses whose historical fiscal periods
were not on a calendar-year basis and include pro forma adjustments consisting
principally of the following: (i) the
    
                                        1
<PAGE>
adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses described below;
(ii) adjustments for pro forma goodwill amortization using a 40-year estimated
life; (iii) eliminations of historical interest expense resulting from the
application of proceeds from the IPO and the use of Common Stock to retire
outstanding indebtedness; and (iv) adjustments to federal and state income tax
provisions.

     The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations include
preliminary pro forma adjustments to selling, general and administrative
expenses to reflect: (i) salary differentials associated with certain owners and
managers of the Acquired Businesses; (ii) the elimination of certain excess
administrative support service fees charged by ICE/VARCO's former parent
company: and (iii) the reversal of the special non-cash, non-recurring
compensation expense attributable to certain stock awards made by SSI and
certain sales of Common Stock and issuances of options to purchase Common Stock
by Invatec.

     The integration of the Acquired Businesses may present opportunities to
reduce other costs through the elimination of duplicative functions and
operating locations and the development of economies of scale, particularly as a
result of the Company's ability to (i) consolidate insurance programs, (ii)
borrow at lower interest rates than the Acquired Businesses, (iii) obtain
greater discounts from suppliers and (iv) generate savings in other general and
administrative areas. The Company cannot currently quantify these anticipated
savings and expects these savings will be partially offset by incremental costs
that the Company expects to incur, but also cannot currently quantify
accurately. These costs include those associated with corporate management and
administration, being a public company, systems integration and facilities
expansions and consolidations. The unaudited pro forma financial information
herein reflects neither unquantifiable expected savings nor unquantifiable
expected incremental costs.

     The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that management deems appropriate.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

        Innovative Valve Technologies, Inc. ("Invatec") was incorporated in
Delaware in March 1997 to create the leading single-source provider of
comprehensive maintenance, repair, replacement and value-added distribution
services for industrial valves and related process-system components throughout
North America. Except for its purchase of an established business in July 1997,
Invatec conducted no operations of its own prior to the closing on October 28,
1997 of (i) its initial public offering (the "IPO") of its common stock ("Common
Stock"), (ii) its purchase of two established businesses and (iii) a merger (the
"SSI Merger") in which The Safe Seal Company, Inc. ("SSI") became its
subsidiary. Earlier in 1997, SSI had purchased three established businesses. SSI
and its subsidiaries were affiliates of Invatec prior to the SSI Merger.

     For financial reporting purposes, SSI is presented as the "accounting
acquirer" of the seven businesses it and Invatec purchased through the IPO
closing date(collectively, the "Initial Acquired Businesses"), and, as used
herein, the term "Company" means (i) SSI and its consolidated subsidiaries prior
to October 31, 1997 and (ii)Invatec and its consolidated subsidiaries (including
SSI) on that date and thereafter.

        Following the IPO, the Company purchased four businesses in the fourth
quarter of 1997 and three businesses in the first quarter of 1998 (these
businesses, together with the Initial Acquired Businesses, are referred to
herein as the "Acquired Businesses"). The Company is accounting for the
acquisitions of the Aqcuired Businesses in accordance with the purchase method
of accounting. The allocation of the purchase prices paid to the assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed in the acquisitions of the Acquired Businesses has
been recorded initially on the basis of preliminary estimates of fair value and
may be revised as additional information concerning the valuation of those
assets and liabilities becomes available. The accompanying historical
consolidated statements of operations present historical information of the
Company which gives effect to the acquisitions as of their respective
acquisition dates.

        The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared by the
Company without audit, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which permit certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles to be condensed or omitted. The
Company believes the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make
the information not misleading, and the financial statements reflect all
elimination entries and normal adjustments that are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1998.

<PAGE>
              INNOVATIVE VALVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for full years. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Fluctuations in Operating Results" in
Item 2 of this Part I. Invatec's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 1997 (the "1997 10-K Report") includes the Company's consolidated
financial statements and related notes for 1997.

2.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" requires the presentation of comprehensive income in an
entity's financial statements. Comprehensive income represents all changes in
equity of an entity during the reporting period, including net income and
charges directly to equity which are excluded from net income (such as
additional minimum pension liability changes, currency translation adjustments,
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities). The Company
adopted this standard effective January 1, 1998. The adoption of this standard
did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. For the
three month period ended March 31, 1998, there were no material items of
comprehensive income other than net income.

3.  INCOME TAXES:

     Certain of the Acquired Businesses' were subject to the provisions of
subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code prior to their acquisition by the
Company. Under these provisions, their former stockholders paid income taxes on
their proportionate share of the earnings of these businesses. Because the
stockholders were taxed directly, their businesses paid no federal income tax
and only certain state income taxes.

     The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return that includes
the operations of the Acquired Businesses for periods subsequent to their
respective acquisition dates.

     The provision for income taxes included in the unaudited consolidated
statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 differs from
statutory federal and state rates primarily because of the partial recognition
of certain net operating loss benefits carried forward by SSI.

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE:

     The computation of net income per share of common stock for the interim
periods presented is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per
Share" based on the following shares of Common Stock outstanding:

                                                           1997          1998
                                                           ----          ----

Dilutive effect of shares issuable

                                                        ---------      ---------
Weighted average shares outstanding -
  diluted ........................................      2,087,941      8,684,764
                                                        =========      =========

The weighted average diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of
convertible subordinated notes which were outstanding during the periods
presented. The interest expense related to dilutive convertible subordinated
notes was approximately $46,000.

5.    ACQUISITIONS:

        During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company acquired three
businesses for $30.4 million in cash and assumed debt, $0.4 million of
convertible subordinated notes and 807,828 shares of Common Stock. Of the total
purchase price paid for these acquisitions, $11 million has been allocated to
the net assets acquired and the remaining $32 million has been recorded as
goodwill. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the
accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 1998 includes preliminary allocations
of the respective purchase prices and are subject to final adjustment.

        The following table reflects, on an unaudited pro forma basis, certain
results of the combined operations of the Company as if the IPO, the SSI Merger,
the Company's acquisitions of Acquired Businesses in 1997 and the first quarter
of 1998 and certain other events and transactions discussed in Note 1 had taken
place on January 1, 1997.

        These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only
and do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations the Company
would have obtained had the acquisitions taken effect on January 1, 1997, has
obtained since the dates of acquisition or may obtain in the future.
