              INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       OVERVIEW

Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. ("IES" or the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, was founded in June 1997 to create a leading national provider of
electrical contracting and maintenance services, focusing primarily on the
commercial, industrial, residential, power line and information technology
markets.

On January 30, 1998, concurrent with the closing of its initial public offering
("IPO" or "Offering") of common stock, IES acquired 16 companies and related
entities providing electrical contracting and maintenance services
(collectively, the "Founding Companies" or the "Founding Company Acquisitions").
Subsequent to its IPO, and through December 31, 1999, the Company has acquired
67 additional electrical contracting and maintenance businesses (the "Post IPO
Acquisitions"). Of these "Post IPO Acquisitions", 66 were accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting (the "Purchased Companies") and one was
accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting (the "Pooled
Company").

The accompanying unaudited condensed historical financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements
and therefore the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto contained in
the Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Actual operating results for the three months ended December 31, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There were no significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company
during the periods presented. For a description of these policies, refer to Note
2 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTIES

All of the Company's operating income and cash flow is generated by its wholly
owned subsidiaries, which are the subsidiary guarantors of the Company's
outstanding 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009. The separate financial
statements of the subsidiary guarantors are not included herein because (i) the
Company is a



                                      -5-
<PAGE>   8

holding company with no material assets or operations other than its ownership
of its subsidiaries; (ii) the subsidiary guarantors are all of the direct and
indirect subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) the subsidiary guarantors are wholly
owned subsidiaries of the Company and have fully and unconditionally, jointly
and severally guaranteed the Senior Subordinated Notes; and (iv) the
presentation of separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning
the subsidiary guarantors is not deemed material. Under the terms of the Senior
Subordinated Notes, any loans between the subsidiary guarantors and the Company
must be subordinated to the Company's senior debt.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

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. Significant estimates in these
financial statements include those regarding revenue recognition for contracts
accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." In accordance with SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date FASB Statement No. 133," SFAS No. 133 becomes effective for the
Company for its year ended September 30, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires a company
to recognize all derivative instruments (including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts) as assets or liabilities in its balance
sheet and measure them at fair value. The statement requires that changes in the
derivatives fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. The Company is evaluating SFAS No. 133 and the
impact on existing accounting policies and financial reporting disclosures.
However, the Company has not to date engaged in activities or entered into
arrangements normally associated with derivative instruments.

In December 1999, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101
"Revenue Recognition". SAB No. 101 provides guidance on the recognition,
presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements and draws upon
the existing accounting rules and explains those rules, by analogy, to other
transactions that the existing rules do not specifically address. SAB No. 101
requires that revenue generally is realized or realizable when all of the
following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller's price to the
buyer is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The
Company has not yet determined what impact the adoption of SAB No. 101 will have
on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SAB
No. 101 no later than the first quarterly filing of fiscal 2001.

2.       ACQUISITIONS

For the three months ended December 31, 1999, the Company completed 5
acquisitions accounted for as purchases. The total consideration paid in these
transactions was approximately



                                      -6-
<PAGE>   9

$49.2 million, comprised of $32.2 million of cash, net of cash acquired and 1.7
million shares of common stock which exceeded the net tangible assets acquired
by $40.0 million, which amount has been recorded as goodwill in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. The accompanying balance sheets include
allocations of the respective purchase prices to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of fair value and are subject
to final adjustment.

The unaudited pro forma data for the Company and the above-mentioned
acquisitions presented below assume that all acquisitions had occurred at the
beginning of each period presented .

Diluted earnings per share ........     $      0.33     $      0.08
</TABLE>

The unaudited pro forma data presented above also reflects pro forma adjustments
to the results of the above-mentioned acquisitions primarily related to:
reductions in general and administrative expenses for contractually agreed
reductions in owners' compensation, estimated goodwill amortization for the
excess of consideration paid over the net assets acquired assuming a 40-year
amortization period, interest expense on borrowings incurred to fund
acquisitions, elimination of interest income, and additional tax expense based
on the Company's effective tax rate.

3.       LONG-TERM DEBT

Credit Facility

The Company has a $175.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America,
N.A. as agent (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility matures on July 30,
2001, and will be used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures
and other corporate purposes. The amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility
bear interest at an annual rate equal to either (a) the London interbank offered
rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.0% to 2.0%, as determined by the ratio of the Company's
total funded debt to EBITDA (as defined), or (b) the higher of (i) the bank's
prime rate and (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, plus up to an additional
0.5% as determined by the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to EBITDA.
Commitment fees of 0.25% to 0.375%, as determined by the ratio of the Company's
total funded debt to EBITDA, are due on any unused borrowing capacity under the
Credit Facility. The Company's subsidiaries have guaranteed the repayment of all
amounts due under the Credit Facility, and the Credit Facility is secured by the
capital stock of the guarantors and the accounts receivable of the Company and
the guarantors. The Credit Facility requires the consent of the lenders for
acquisitions exceeding a certain level of cash consideration, prohibits the
payment of cash dividends on the Company's common stock, restricts the ability
of the Company to incur other indebtedness and requires the Company to comply
with certain financial covenants. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had



                                      -7-
<PAGE>   10

outstanding indebtedness of $119.5 million under its Credit Facility, letters of
credit outstanding of $2.2 million, and available capacity under the Credit
Facility of $53.3 million. Availability of the Credit Facility is subject to
customary drawing conditions. The Company was in compliance with its financial
covenants at December 31, 1999.

Senior Subordinated Notes

In January, 1999, the Company issued $150.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes
(the "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at 9 3/8% and mature on February 1, 2009.
The Company began paying interest semi-annually beginning on August 1, 1999. The
Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and are subordinated to all
existing and future senior indebtedness. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis by all of the Company's subsidiaries. Under the terms of the
Notes, the Company is required to comply with various affirmative and negative
covenants including: (i) restrictions on additional indebtedness, and (ii)
restrictions on liens, guarantees and dividends.

4.       PER SHARE INFORMATION

Basic earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and restricted voting common stock outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding and common equivalent shares from the assumed
exercise of outstanding stock options.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding options to purchase up to a
total of approximately 4.7 million shares of Common Stock, of which 0.8 million
shares were vested and exercisable, issued pursuant to the Company's stock
option plans. The shares used to calculate the historical earnings per share for
the periods presented are summarized as follows:

                                                                      31,668,316     39,516,627
                                                                      ==========     ==========
</TABLE>

For the three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, 0.2 million and 3.9
million, respectively, exercisable stock options were excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise prices
were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock.

5.       NON EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

In November 1999, the Board of Directors adopted the Nonexecutive Incentive
Compensation Plan (the "NICP"). The NICP authorizes the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors to grant eligible
participants of the Company awards in the form of options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock or other stock based awards. The Company has up to 2
million shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the NICP.



                                      -8-

<PAGE>   11

During December, 1999, the Company awarded 38,269 and 556,265 shares of common
stock under its 1997 Stock Plan and its Nonexecutive Incentive Compensation
Plan, respectively, to certain of its officers and employees. The awards vest in
equal installments on May 31, 2000, and August 31, 2000, provided that the
recipient is still employed by the Company. At the time of the awards, the
market value of the awards was approximately $5.2 million. The Company is
amortizing this amount to expense over the vesting period. During the quarter
ended December 31, 1999, this expense totaled approximately $308,000.

6.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Subsidiaries of the Company are involved in various legal proceedings that have
arisen in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to predict
the outcome of such proceedings with certainty, in the opinion of the Company,
all such proceedings are either adequately covered by insurance or, if not so
covered should not ultimately result in any liability which would have a
material adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of
operations of the Company.

7.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

An Employee Stock Purchase Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company
in February 2000. The purpose of the Plan is to provide an incentive for
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to acquire an equity interest in
the Company through the purchase of shares of the Company's Common Stock. The
Plan is intended to qualify as an "Employee Stock Purchase Plan" under Section
423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The
provisions of the Plan will be construed in a manner consistent with the
requirements of that section of the Code. The Plan will be administered by a
committee appointed by the Board. The Plan is not subject to any of the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The following should be read in conjunction with the response to Part I, Item 1
of this Report. Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Item have the
same meaning given to them in Part I, Item 1. This report on Form 10-Q includes
certain statements that may be deemed to be "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. These statements
are based on our expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the
statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our
ability to integrate acquired companies and manage our growth, possible
downturns in the level of construction activity in any region or regions, our
ability to estimate bids and perform under fixed price contracts, fluctuations
in operating results because of acquisitions and seasonality, national and
regional industry and economic conditions, competition and other risks entailed
in the operation and growth of existing and newly acquired businesses. The
foregoing and other factors are discussed in our filings with the SEC including
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999.

Because of the significant effect of acquisitions on our results of operations,
our historical results of operations and period-to-period comparisons are not
indicative of future results and may not be meaningful. The integration of
acquired electrical contracting and maintenance businesses and the addition of
management personnel to support acquisitions may positively or negatively affect
our results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO

REVENUES. Revenues increased $137.5 million, or 70%, from $197.7 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1998, to $335.2 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1999. Same store revenues increased $16.9 million, or 9%,
from $195.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998, to $212.5
million for the three months ended December 31, 1999.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $18.6 million, or 45%, from $41.0 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1998, to $59.6 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues
decreased approximately 3.0%, from 21% for the three months ended December 31,
1998 to 18% for the three months ended December 31, 1999. Same store gross
profit decreased 2.4%, primarily the result of the delayed start of projects, an
accrual of cost reserves on loss contracts, and a temporary slowness experienced
in certain markets served by the Company in addition to the normal seasonality.
In the three months ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded additional
claims reserves related to its self-insured healthcare plan resulting from a
higher level of employee participation and higher medical costs.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $23.4 million, or 107%, from $21.9 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1998, to $45.3 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues increased approximately 3% from 11% for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 to 14% for the three months ended December 31, 1999. The
increased selling, general and administrative expenses related to acquired
companies was $14.8 million. Other increased selling, general and administrative
costs primarily resulted from additional infrastructure costs, claims reserves
related to the Company's self-insured healthcare plan, and a non-cash
compensation charge associated with the restricted stock awards.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Income from operations decreased $6.5 million, from
$17.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998, to $10.8 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1999. This decrease in income from
operations is primarily attributed to lower gross profit margins among the same
store companies as previously explained, higher selling, general and
administrative expenses resulting from acquisitions, infrastructure costs, a
higher funding level for claims in the Company's medical plan, a non-cash
compensation charge related to restricted stock awards, and higher goodwill
amortization resulting from acquisitions.

INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE, NET. Interest and other expense, net increased from
expense of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998, to $4.6
million for the three months ended December 31, 1999, primarily as a result of
interest expense on borrowings to fund the Company's acquisitions and interest
expense on the Notes.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate increased from
42.4% for the three months ended December 31, 1998 to 58.1% for the three months
ended December 31, 1999, due primarily to the increase in goodwill amortization
expense as a percentage of income before income taxes. Such goodwill
amortization expense is not deductible for tax purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 1999, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million,
working capital of $190.8 million, $119.5 million in outstanding borrowings
under our Credit Facility, $2.2 million of letters of credit outstanding, and
available capacity under our Credit Facility of $53.3 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 1999, we generated $4.5 million of
net cash from operating activities, comprised primarily of net income of $2.6
million, increased by $6.4 million of non-cash charges related primarily to
depreciation and amortization and non-cash compensation expense related to
restricted stock awards, by a $9.0 million decrease in receivables as a result
of the timing of collections, and decreased by a $13.3 million decrease in
accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of the timing of payments. Net
cash used in investing activities was $39.5 million, including $32.2 million
used for the purchase of businesses, net of cash acquired. Net cash flow
provided by financing activities was $42.6 million, resulting primarily from net
borrowings under our Credit Facility and reduced by the payment of debt acquired
in connection with the purchase of businesses discussed above.

We have a $175.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as
agent that matures on July 30, 2001 (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility
is used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other
corporate purposes. The amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility bear interest
at an annual rate equal to either (a) the London interbank offered rate
("LIBOR") plus 1.0% to 2.0%, as determined by the ratio of our total funded debt
to EBITDA (as defined), or (b) the higher of (i) the bank's prime rate and (ii)
the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, plus up to an additional 0.5% as determined by
the ratio of our total funded debt to EBITDA. Commitment fees of 0.25% to
0.375%, as determined by the ratio of our total funded debt to EBITDA, are due
on any unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility. Our subsidiaries
have guaranteed the repayment of all amounts due under the Credit Facility, and
the Credit Facility is secured by the capital stock of the guarantors and the
accounts receivable of the Company and the guarantors. The Credit Facility
requires the consent of the lenders for acquisitions exceeding a certain level
of cash consideration, prohibits the payment of cash dividends on our common
stock, restricts our ability to incur other indebtedness and requires us to
comply with certain financial covenants. Availability of the Credit Facility is
subject to customary drawing conditions. As of February 8, 2000, we have
available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility of approximately $54.4
million. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at December
31, 1999.

In January, 1999, we completed our offering of $150.0 million Senior
Subordinated Notes (the "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at 9 3/8% and will
mature on February 1, 2009. We began paying interest semi-annually beginning on
August 1, 1999. The Notes are unsecured Senior Subordinated obligations and are
subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness. The Notes are
guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of our subsidiaries. Under the
terms of the Notes, we are required to comply with various affirmative and
negative covenants including: (i) restrictions on additional indebtedness, and
(ii) restrictions on liens, guarantees and dividends.



                                      -12-

We anticipate that our existing cash, cash flow from operations and borrowings
under our Credit Facility will provide sufficient cash to enable us to meet our
working capital needs, debt service requirements and planned capital
expenditures for property and equipment through at least the remainder of our
fiscal year.

We have currently suspended our acquisition program to focus on operations and
integration of existing companies. The timing, size or success of any
acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments cannot be
predicted. To the extent we pursue and consummate any acquisitions, we would
fund such acquisitions primarily with working capital, cash flow from operations
and borrowings, including any unborrowed portion of the Credit Facility. Should
a significant portion of the consideration for future acquisitions be funded
with cash, we may have to incur additional debt or issue additional equity.
Capital expenditures for equipment and expansion of facilities are expected to
be funded from cash flow from operations and supplemented as necessary by
borrowings under the Credit Facility.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS

Our results of operations, particularly from residential construction, are
seasonal, depending on weather trends, with typically higher revenues generated
during the spring and summer and lower revenues during the fall and winter. The
commercial and industrial aspect of our business is less subject to seasonal
trends, as this work generally is performed inside structures protected from the
weather. Our service business is generally not affected by seasonality. In
addition, the construction industry has historically been highly cyclical. Our
volume of business may be adversely affected by declines in construction
projects resulting from adverse regional or national economic conditions.
Quarterly results may also be materially affected by the timing of new
construction projects and acquisitions and the timing and magnitude of
acquisition assimilation costs. Accordingly, operating results for any fiscal
period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any
subsequent fiscal period.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." In accordance with SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date FASB Statement No. 133," SFAS No. 133 becomes effective for the
Company for its year ended September 30, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires a company
to recognize all derivative instruments (including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts) as assets or liabilities in its balance
sheet and measure them at fair value. The statement requires that changes in the
derivatives fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. The Company is evaluating SFAS No. 133 and the
impact on existing accounting policies and financial reporting disclosures.
However, the Company has not to date engaged in activities or entered into
arrangements normally associated with derivative instruments.

In December 1999, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101
"Revenue Recognition". SAB No. 101 provides guidance on the recognition,
presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements and draws upon
the existing accounting rules and explains those rules, by analogy, to other
transactions that the existing rules do not specifically address. SAB No. 101
requires that revenue generally is realized ro realizable when all of the
following



                                      -13-
<PAGE>   16

criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered, the seller's price to the buyer is
fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company has
not yet determined what impact the adoption of SAB No. 101 will have on its
consolidated financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SAB No. 101
no later than the first quarterly filing of fiscal 2001.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many computer systems and software products were originally coded to accept only
two-digit entries in the date code field. Now that we have entered the year
2000, these date code fields will need to accept four-digit entries to
distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, computer
systems and software used by many companies may need to be upgraded to comply
with these "Year 2000" requirements. Systems that do not properly recognize this
information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail.

As of the date of this filing, neither we nor, to our knowledge, any of our
suppliers, customers or service providers have experienced any significant
disruption in operations as a result of Year 2000 issues. We do not anticipate
any of these problems in the future. Our total cost to address Year 2000 issues
was approximately $520,000.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates. Refer to our Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999 for detailed discussion of this risk.
