ITEM 5.       OTHER EVENTS

         Integrated Electrical Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") is a leading national provider and consolidator of electrical
contracting and maintenance services, focusing primarily on the commercial,
industrial, residential, powerline and data communication markets. In connection
with its business acquisitions, the Company plans to offer shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") pursuant
to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-45479). In order
to comply with the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission regarding the financial statements of businesses acquired or to be
acquired, the Company is filing this Current Report containing the following
unaudited pro forma financial statements and audited financial statements of a 
business acquired.

         (a)      Pro Forma Financial Information
                  See Pages 1 through 6

         (b)      Financial Statements of Business Acquired
                  See Pages 7 through 18

             INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The unaudited pro forma balance sheet reflects the acquisition by
Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. ("IES"), of Tesla Power and Automation,
Inc. ("Tesla") which was acquired subsequent to December 31, 1998 as if it had
occurred on December 31, 1998. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations
give effect to the Tesla acquisition and the related pro forma adjustments as if
it had occurred on October 1, 1997.

         IES has analyzed the savings that it expects to realize from reductions
in salaries, bonuses and certain benefits to the owners. To the extent the
owners of Tesla have contractually agreed to changes in salary, bonuses,
benefits and lease payments, these changes have been reflected in the unaudited
pro forma statement of operations.

         Certain pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates,
available information and certain assumptions that Company management deems
appropriate and may be revised as additional information becomes available. The
pro forma financial data do not purport to represent what IES's combined
financial position or results of operations would actually have been if such
transaction in fact had occurred on these dates and are not necessarily
representative of IES's combined financial position or results of operations for
any future period. Since the acquired entity was not under common control or
management prior to its acquisition by IES, historical combined results may not
be comparable to, or indicative of, future performance. The unaudited pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's
Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 1998 filed on Form 10-K. See also
"Risk Factors" included elsewhere therein.

                        TESLA POWER AND AUTOMATION, INC.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1998

1. Organization and description of business:

         Tesla Power and Automation, Inc. (the Company) is an engineering and
         manufacturing company specializing in the construction of electrical
         power control units. The Company was incorporated on January 18, 1988,
         in the state of Texas. The Company's long-term construction contracts
         are primarily comprised of fixed-price contracts.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies:

   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 reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

   Accounting for construction contracts

         Revenues from long-term construction contracts are recognized on the
         percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total
         costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract.

         Contract costs include all direct job costs and those indirect costs
         related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies,
         insurance, equipment repairs, and depreciation costs. General and
         administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

         The asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
         uncompleted contracts", represents revenue recognized in excess of
         billings. The liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated
         earnings on uncompleted contracts", represents billings in excess of
         revenues recognized. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted
         contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

   Cash and cash equivalents

         The Company records as cash and cash equivalents all cash and
         short-term investments with original maturities of three months or
         less.


                                       12

   Concentrations of risk

         Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit
         risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and contract
         receivables.

         The Company maintains cash balances at a single financial institution.
         Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit
         Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At times, the balances in the
         Company's accounts may exceed this limit.

         The Company's contract revenues are highly concentrated with two
         individual customers. These customers accounted for approximately
         $3,003,000 or 29% of contract revenues for the year ended December 31,
         1998. The associated accounts receivable from these customers total
         approximately $375,000 or 17% of total accounts receivable at December
         31, 1998. The loss of a significant customer could have a material
         impact on the Company's future earnings results. These sales are
         primarily derived from sales of electrical power control units
         concentrated with customers in the petroleum industry. The Company has
         recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $50,000 as
         of December 31, 1998. Management believes that this allowance is
         adequate.

         The Company purchases materials, parts and supplies from four unrelated
         third party vendors and one vendor under common control as more further
         discussed in Note 10. These vendors accounted for approximately
         $4,299,000 or 68% of material, part and supply purchases during the
         year ended December 31, 1998. Management believes there are alternative
         sources of supply should a loss of one of these vendors occur, however,
         the loss may result in a short-term impact to the Company.

   Advertising

         Advertising expenses are charged to expense as incurred and are
         included in general and administrative expenses. Advertising expense
         totaled $22,234 for the year ended December 31, 1998.

   Property, plant and equipment

         Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and
         amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated
         useful life of the asset. Machinery and equipment, vehicles and
         furniture and fixtures are depreciated between 5 and 7 years. Building
         and improvements are depreciated and amortized between 31 and 39 years.
         Repairs and maintenance of a routine nature are charged to expense as
         incurred, while those that improve or extend the life of existing
         assets are capitalized.

   Accrued Product Warranty

         The Company provides limited warranties through its original equipment
         manufacturers (OEM) for the products it sells. Generally, warranty
         costs during the basic warranty period, which varies based on the OEM,
         are reimbursed by the OEM. The accrued product warranty in the
         accompanying financial statements is based on management's estimate of
         future warranty costs for warranties provided by the Company outside of
         the OEM warranty period.

   Income taxes

         The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected under the
         Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as an S Corporation. In lieu of
         corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an S Corporation are taxed
         individually on the Company's taxable income. As a result of the
         Company being a non-taxpaying entity, no provision for income taxes has
         been provided for Federal income tax reporting purposes.

         The Company reports income for both financial and tax reporting using
         the percentage-of-completion method on its long-term contracts.

         The provision for income taxes relates to State of Texas franchise
         taxes owed by the Company.

         Upon completion of the acquisition of the Company's outstanding stock
         as discussed in Note 12, the Company's S Corporation tax status will be
         terminated.

   Fair value of financial instruments

         The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
         value of each class of financial instruments for which it is
         practicable to estimate that value:


                                       14
<PAGE>   17

         Cash and cash equivalents
         The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short
         maturity of those instruments.

         Marketable securities
         The fair values of marketable securities are estimated based on quoted
         market prices for those or similar investments. The carrying amount
         approximates fair value.

         Long-term debt
         The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on
         the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the
         current rates offered to the Corporation for debt of the same remaining
         maturities. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

3. Change in accounting principle

         The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This
         statement requires the disclosure of comprehensive income as well as
         net income. The only element of comprehensive income that the Company
         has that is not part of net income is unrealized gains on marketable
         securities. The Company has reclassified its 1997 financial statements
         in conjunction with the adoption of this statement. Other comprehensive
         income is shown of net realized gains on the sale of marketable
         securities.

4. Marketable securities

         The Company records its investment in marketable securities in
         accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
         115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
         Securities." The Company's marketable securities consist of mutual
         funds and are classified as "available-for-sale." Accordingly,
         unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as
         a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains or losses
         are computed based on specific identification of the securities sold.

         The following is an analysis of marketable securities available for
         sale at December 31, 1998:

6. Line of credit and margin securities account

         The Company has a $750,000 revolving line of credit with a financial
         services company. Advances on the LOC are limited to 80% of eligible
         accounts receivable. As of December 31, 1998, the maximum amount
         available under the LOC is approximately $448,000, with interest due
         monthly at 30-day commercial paper rate plus 2.9% per annum (totaling
         8.0% at December 31, 1998). As of December 31, 1998, a total of
         $301,849 was outstanding. The line of credit is collateralized by the
         Company's accounts receivable, property, plant and equipment, and is
         guaranteed by the Company's stockholders and requires the Company to
         maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $1,500,000. Subsequent to
         December 31, 1998, the Company repaid the amounts on the line of credit
         prior to its expiration on January 31, 1999.

         The Company has a margin securities account with a financial services
         company to provide borrowings up to 50% of the marketable securities
         balance with interest at a 30-day commercial paper rate plus 2.9%
         payable monthly. Outstanding balances under the margin securities
         account are collaterialized by marketable securities. No balance was
         outstanding under the margin securities account at December 31, 1998.

         As a result of the acquisition of the Company's outstanding stock as
         discussed in Note 12, the line of credit agreement was not renewed and
         the margin securities account was cancelled.

         this entity during the year ended December 31, 1998 totaled $2,283,486.
