ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

               On February 27, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), Innovative Valve
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), acquired Cypress
Industries, Inc., an Illinois corporation ("Cypress"), through a stock purchase
transaction (the "Acquisition"). The Company completed the Acquisition pursuant
to a stock purchase agreement dated as of February 27, 1998 among the Company,
Cypress, Robert J. Gerth, Robert J. Gerth Trust, Roger A. Szafranski and Roger
A. Szafranski Trust (collectively, the "Stockholders"). As consideration, the
Company paid an aggregate cash purchase price of $11,808,000 and effectively
assumed $5,192,000 of debt. In addition, Cypress distributed $343,000 to the
Stockholders in respect of federal and state taxes attributable to its income
for 1997. The total consideration for the Acquisition is subject to adjustment
for any changes in Cypress' working capital from December 31, 1997 to February
27, 1998. The Company funded the payment of the cash purchase price through
borrowings under its credit facility with Chase Bank of Texas, N.A., as agent,
and the other lenders party thereto. The parties determined the consideration
for the Acquisition through arm's-length negotiations.

               Cypress, through its three operating divisions, provides field
machining, valve repair, specialized welding and babbitt bearing repair services
to its customers, which include the power utility industry, steel mills and
other related industrial markets. Cypress is headquartered in Schaumburg,
Illinois and has operating locations in Cincinnati, Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia.
The Company intends to use the acquired operations in the manner previously used
by Cypress.

               A copy of the Company's March 5, 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 AUDITORS

Board of Directors
Cypress Industries, Inc.
Schaumburg, Illinois

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cypress Industries, Inc.
as of December 31, 1997 and the related statements of income, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for the year 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Cypress Industries, Inc. as
of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1997

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION:  The financial statements of Cypress Industries,
Inc. (the Company) include the divisions of Continental Field Machinery Co.,
Inc. (CFM); New PME, Inc. (PME); and VR-TESCO, Inc. (VR-TESCO) (the Companies).
The nature and summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the
Company are as follows:

     NATURE OF OPERATIONS:  CFM, located in Schaumburg, Illinois and Atlanta,
Georgia, provides on-site machining for utility, steel mill, and other heavy
industry companies primarily located in the United States. The location in
Atlanta was closed during 1997. PME, which is located in Atlanta, Georgia and
Cincinnati, Ohio, repairs babbitt bearings for utility, steel mill, electric
motor, marine, and other heavy industry companies located primarily in the
eastern half of the United States. VR-TESCO, which is located in Schaumburg,
Illinois, provides valve repair and specialty welding services for utility,
petro chemical, steel, and other heavy industry companies which are primarily
located in the continental United States.

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:  Income from contracts in which the price is firm is
recognized on the completed contract method. This method is used because the
typical firm contract is completed in two months or less and the financial
position and results of operations do not vary significantly from those which
would result from using the percentage-of-completion method. A contract is
considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred
and the installation is operating according to specifications or has been
accepted by the customer. Income from contracts in which the price is based on
time and materials is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. Under
this method, revenues are recognized based on contract valuation rates assigned
to the costs incurred. The rates vary depending on the type of cost, such as
labor and materials. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts
are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Cost of services
include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to
contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and
depreciation costs. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to
expense as incurred.

     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:  Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due
on completed contracts.

     INVENTORY:  The inventory is valued at the lower of cost (determined on a
first-in, first-out method) or market. CFM inventory consists of carbide steel,
cast iron, carbon, and other machine repair materials and supplies. VR-TESCO
inventory consists of safety valve test systems and other valve testing
materials. PME inventory consists of babbitt tin chips and other babbitt
remanufacturing materials.

     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:  For the year ended December 31, 1997, 28% of
the Company's sales were to one customer. At December 31, 1997, 22% of the
Company's accounts receivable were from one customer.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:  Property and equipment (including major renewals
and betterments) are capitalized in the accounts and valued at cost.
Depreciation is computed using both straight-line and accelerated methods over
the estimated useful life of the asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the remaining life of the lease. Depreciation methods are the same for both
financial reporting and income tax purposes.

     ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS:  Costs incurred in connection with the organization
of the Company are being amortized over a period of sixty months. Amortization
for the year ended December 31, 1997 totaled $75,996.

     INCOME TAXES:  The Company has elected to be taxed as an S corporation for
federal income tax purposes. Under the small business provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code, the Company's net income is reflected in the shareholders'
individual income tax returns. Consequently, no provision for federal income
taxes has been made.

           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 F-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 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.
