         THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO CONTAINED ELSEWHERE AND
INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR-PROSPECTUS.

                                   THE COMPANY

         Industrial Holdings, Inc. (including its subsidiaries, the "Company") 
was incorporated in Texas in August 1989. The Company's principal executive
offices are located at 7135 Ardmore, Houston, Texas 77054, and its telephone
number is (713) 747-1025.

         The Company's business is organized into two divisions: the Fastener
Manufacturing and Sales Division, comprised of Landreth Engineering Company
("Landreth"), Connecticut Rivet ("CRivet"), American Rivet Company, Inc.
("American") (collectively, "LEC"), LSS-Lone Star-Houston, Inc. ("Lone Star")
and Bolt Manufacturing Co., Inc. ("WALKER") and the Energy Products and Services
Division, comprised of (i) the Valve and Supplies Sales Group which includes
Pipeline Valve Specialty ("PVS"), Manifold Valve Services, Inc. ("MVS") and
Industrial Municipal Supply Company ("IMSCO"); (ii) the New Machine Sales and
Services Group which includes Regal Machine Tools ("Regal") and Rex Machinery
Movers ("RMM"); (iii) the Export Crating Group which includes U.S. Crating
("USC"); and (iv) the Used Machine Sales Group which includes Rex/Paul's Machine
Sales ("RPMS"). Regal, RMM, USC and RPMS comprise the Rex Group, Inc. ("REX").

         The Fastener Manufacturing and Sales Division manufactures industrial
metal fasteners, including special cold-formed fasteners and threaded fastener
products, for sale primarily to manufacturers in the home furniture, home
appliance and automotive industries and to the petrochemical and energy
industries. In the Energy Products and Services Division, the Valve and Supplies
Sales Group remanufactures pipeline valves and high pressure valves that are
used primarily in oil and gas drilling applications and distributes pipe,
valves, fittings and other products primarily to the petrochemical, chemical and
petroleum refining industries and to the pipeline transportation and product
storage industries. The New Machine Sales and Services Group sells new machine
tools and conducts a machine moving operation. The Export Crating Group provides
international export crating services. The Used Machine Sales Group sells used
machine tools.

         The Company's strategy is to identify and pursue acquisitions within
the lines of business in which the Company currently operates. The Company
believes that it is a leading manufacturer of semi-tubular rivets and
cold-headed specials with pro forma revenues for that segment (excluding Lone
Star and WALKER) for the twelve months ended December 31, 1996 of approximately
$30,222,000. The Company's growth strategy includes an emphasis on the continued
acquisition of fastener manufacturing companies and valve remanufacturing
companies with a particular emphasis on expansion into new customer bases and
geographical markets.

         Since its inception, the Company has expanded its business through
acquisition.

Company anticipates that future acquisitions, if any, will be similarly
financed.

                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         In February 1997, the Company acquired all the capital stock of Lone
Star for a purchase price of $6 million, including estimated transaction
expenses. Lone Star, with revenues of $15.5 million in 1996, is a leading
manufacturer and distributor of fasteners to the petrochemical and energy
industries, and is a specialty provider of custom in-house coating services. Its
53,000 square foot manufacturing facility is located in Spring, Texas.

         The purchase was financed through an $800,000 term loan secured by the
machinery and equipment of Lone Star, a $900,000 mortgage note secured by the
real estate of Lone Star, a $500,000 term note payable to the former shareholder
of Lone Star, 84,211 shares of Common Stock, a $1.4 million increase in the
Company's demand note and line of credit facility payable to Comerica Bank -
Texas ("Demand Note") and $1.8 million cash.

         In March 1997, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock
of MVS for 600,000 shares of Common Stock and a term note in the amount of
$442,500, payable to the selling shareholder in six monthly installments. MVS,
operating from a 25,000 square foot leased manufacturing facility in Jennings,
Louisiana, sells and repairs high pressure valves that are used primarily in oil
and gas drilling applications. MVS' revenues in 1996 were $6.4 million, with one
customer comprising 18% of its total 1996 revenues.

         In November 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Bolt Manufacturing Co., Inc. doing business as WALKER BOLT
Manufacturing Co. ("WALKER") for a purchase price of $5 million plus the
repayment at closing of $1 million in shareholder notes payable by Walker. The
purchase price was funded through an increase in the Company's Demand Note
secured by the inventory and receivables of the Company and a term note ("Term
Note") secured by certain equipment of the Company. The Company anticipates that
it will use the estimated $12,400,000 net proceeds from the exercise of the
Class B Warrants to repay a portion of the Company's Demand Note and Term Note.
SEE "Use of Proceeds."

         WALKER, located in Houston, Texas, manufactures and distributes
specialty bolts and nuts to the petrochemical and energy industries through the
United States and Canada. Net sales of WALKER were $6,452,216 for its fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996 and $5,419,698 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997. WALKER will operate within the Fastener Manufacturing and Sales
Division. SEE "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)."
   
         The Company has entered into a preliminary agreement to purchase 
Belleli Energy srl, an Italian company which manufactures high pressure vessels
and heat exchangers for the petrochemical industry worldwide. The agreement is
subject to significant conditions. Given these conditions, there can be no
assurance that the acquisition will be consummated. If and when it is
consummated, the acquisition is expected to be financed through an increase in
the Company's existing credit facilities and seller financing.

                        RESULT OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE OFFER MAY LIMIT THE
                        TRADING MARKET FOR THE CLASS B WARRANTS AND MAY
                        ADVERSELY AFFECT THEIR LIQUIDITY AND MARKET PRICE. THE
                        CLASS B WARRANTS MAY BE REDEEMED BY THE COMPANY AT $.05
                        PER WARRANT, ON NOT LESS THAN 30 DAYS' WRITTEN NOTICE,

                        SHARE. AS OF NOVEMBER 25, 1997, THE CLOSING PRICE OF

                       SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE DATA)

       The selected financial data presented below are derived from and should
be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and
related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" incorporated by reference in this Offering
Circular-Prospectus. The unaudited pro forma income statement data for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 are presented as if, at the beginning of the
period, the acquisition of WALKER and MVS had taken place. (Lone Star is not
included in the pro forma results of operations due to the insignificance of the
period from January 1, 1997 to the date of acquisition. However, the pro forma
earnings per share calculation has been calculated as if the issuance of the
shares in conjunction with the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1997.) The
unaudited pro forma income statement data for the year ended December 31, 1996
assumes that the acquisitions of American, Lone Star, MVS, and WALKER had taken
place at the beginning of the period. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet data
at September 30, 1997 are presented as if, at such date, the WALKER Acquisition
had taken place. The unaudited pro forma data should be read in conjunction with
the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements incorporated
by reference in this Offering Circular-Prospectus.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, CLASS C AND CLASS D WARRANTS OFFERED HEREBY
INVOLVE MATERIAL RISKS. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
OFFERING CIRCULAR-PROSPECTUS, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER
THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE MAKING A DECISION TO EXERCISE THEIR CLASS B
WARRANTS AND PURCHASE ANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, CLASS C WARRANTS AND CLASS D
WARRANTS.

         LIMITED CAPITAL; RISKS RELATED TO BUSINESS STRATEGY AND ACQUISITIONS.
The Company's ability to effect its business plan depends on its ability to
raise funds to consummate acquisitions and provide necessary working capital.
The Company's future growth through acquisitions will require substantial
capital expenditures. While the Company evaluates business opportunities on a
regular basis, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
identifying any additional acquisitions or will have sufficient financial
resources with which to make additional acquisitions. In the event that the
Company is unable to obtain cash in order to effect additional acquisitions, the
Company may issue additional shares, and further dilution to shareholders may
result. In addition, many companies compete with the Company for acquisitions.
Many of these competitors have greater financial resources than the Company. As
the Company effects acquisitions and expands its operations, it will be subject
to all of the risks inherent in an expanding business, including integrating
financial reporting, establishing satisfactory budgetary and other financial
controls, funding increased capital needs and overhead expenses, obtaining
management personnel required for expanded operations, and funding cash flow
shortages that may occur if anticipated sales and revenues are not realized or
are delayed, whether by general economic or market conditions.

         At September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $5,078,171,
long-term debt of $6,045,388, shareholders' equity of $23,869,406 and
availability of $2,302,957 under its credit facilities with Comerica Bank -
Texas. The credit facilities are secured by substantially all the assets of the
Company. The Company anticipates that its operating cash needs for fiscal 1997
can be met with cash generated from operations and borrowings under its credit
facilities with Comerica Bank-Texas. Any future acquisition of companies in
connection with the Company's acquisition strategy will require additional
financing, which likely would include a combination of debt and equity
financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
such financing on terms acceptable to it, if at all.

         COMPETITION. The industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries
operate are highly competitive. Many of these competitors have greater financial
and other resources than the Company. Competitive factors for the Company's
subsidiaries include price sensitivity and customer service. The industries in
which the Company's subsidiaries operate are highly fragmented and dominated by
privately-owned businesses. Management's marketing strategy is to institute
centralized inventory controls, reduce personnel costs and achieve greater
buying power through expansion. Management believes that these strategies will
allow the Company and its subsidiaries to be more competitive. However, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully compete
against presently known or future competitors.

         FOREIGN SUPPLIERS. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries purchase
products from United States manufacturing companies operating abroad and from
foreign manufacturers. Accordingly, the Company is subject to the risks of doing
business abroad, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, changes in
import duties or quotas, transportation costs, labor disputes and strikes. The
occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing events could materially adversely
affect the Company's product supply. The Company does

                                       13
<PAGE>
not currently hedge nor does it presently plan to hedge its currency risks.  
Since all transactions are in U.S. dollars, the Company believes the currency
risks associated with these transactions is not material.

         DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.  The success of the Company is dependent 
on, among other things, the services of Robert E. Cone, President and Chief
Executive Officer, James H. Brock, Jr., President - Energy Products and Services
Division and Thomas C. Landreth, President - Fastener Manufacturing and Sales
Division. The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Cone,
Brock and Landreth. The loss of the services of any of these officers, for any
reason, may have a material adverse effect on the business and prospects of the
Company.

         VOTING CONTROL BY CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS.  Directors, officers and
affiliates of the Company own approximately 25% of the Company's outstanding
shares and are therefore able to influence the election of a majority of the
Company's Board of Directors and to influence the conduct of the business and
affairs of the Company. After the Offer is consummated (assuming the exercise of
all of the Class B Warrants), such officers, directors and affiliates will own
approximately 21% of the Company's then outstanding shares, and will continue to
have the ability to influence the conduct of the business and affairs of the
Company.

         LACK OF CONTRACTUAL SUPPLY AGREEMENTS. The Company's subsidiaries
purchase products from various sources of supply. The Company does not maintain
firm contractual agreements with any of its suppliers with respect to the
product purchases. Instead, the Company purchases its products from suppliers on
the most favorable terms that can be negotiated. Since product purchases are
negotiated on a continuing basis, the Company's supply stream may not be as
reliable as if it were negotiated pursuant to a long-term contract. The
Company's inability to obtain sufficient product from its suppliers would have a
material adverse effect on its business and operations.

         DIVIDENDS NOT LIKELY. The Company has never paid cash dividends on its
Common Stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable
future. It is anticipated that any earnings that may be generated from the
Company's operations will be used to finance the Company's growth. SEE "Dividend
Policy."

         FUTURE SALES OF COMMON STOCK. Of the Company's currently outstanding
6,489,368 shares, 1,598,922 are "restricted securities" within the meaning of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Restricted Shares"). All of the
Restricted Shares are currently eligible for public sale in accordance with the
requirements of Rule 144. The remaining 4,890,446 shares are freely tradeable
without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act, except
for shares held by "affiliates" of the Company, which will be subject to resale
limitations of Rule 144. In addition, the Company has filed registration
statements on Form S-3 under the Securities Act relating to 722,482 shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of warrants and offered by
certain selling securityholders. Such shares of Common Stock are (or if not
issued, will be when issued) freely tradeable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act, except for shares held by "affiliates" of
the Company, which shares will be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144.
The Company has also filed a registration statement under the Securities Act to
register the shares of Common Stock issuable under its stock option plans.
Shares issued under such plans, other than shares issued to affiliates of the
Company, will be freely tradeable in the public market.

         The Company is unable to predict the effect that sales made under Rule
144 or otherwise may have on the then-prevailing market price of the Common
Stock. The issuance of a significant number of additional securities, or even
the possibility thereof, could depress the market price of such securities.

                                       14
<PAGE>
         POSSIBLE INABILITY TO EXERCISE CLASS C AND CLASS D WARRANTS. The Class
C or Class D Warrants to be issued in the Offer may not be exercised unless at
the time of exercise there is a current prospectus under an effective
registration statement covering shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
such warrants and such shares have been registered or qualified or deemed to be
exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder. The
Company will use its best efforts to have a current registration statement in
effect and to have all such shares so registered or qualified at any time when
the holders thereof may exercise their warrants. While it is the Company's
intention to do so, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.

         POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF REDEMPTION OF CLASS C AND CLASS D WARRANTS.
The Class C and Class D Warrants to be issued in the Offer may be redeemed by
the Company at any time prior to their expiration, at a price of $.05 per
warrant upon at least 30 days notice if the closing bid price of the Common
Stock has equaled or exceeded $20.00 and $25.00 per share, respectively, for a
period of 20 consecutive trading days. Redemption of the warrants could force
the holders to exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when
it may be disadvantageous for the holders to do so, to sell the warrants at the
then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold the warrants,
or to accept the redemption price, which is likely to be substantially less than
the market value of the warrants at the time of redemption.

         ADVERSE EFFECT OF OFFER ON NON-EXERCISING CLASS B WARRANTHOLDERS. The
effect of the Offer on non-exercising Class B Warrantholders will be
significant. First, the Class B Warrants are exercisable through and including
January 14, 1999, after which date they expire. In addition, prior to their
expiration, to the extent that the Offer is accepted and Class B Warrants are
exercised, the trading market for unexercised Class B Warrants will become more
limited, and their price is likely to be adversely affected. The Class B
warrants may be redeemed by the Company at $.05 per warrant, on not less than 30
days' written notice, if the closing price of the Common Stock for a period of
20 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $12.00 per share. As of November
25, 1997, the closing price of Common Stock had equaled or exceed, $12.00 per
share for 20 consecutive trading days. Therefore, the Class B warrants may be
redeemed by the Company at any time upon not less than 30 days written notice.
The Company has no present plans to redeem those Class B Warrants not exercised
in connection with this offer, but reserves the right to do so in the future.

         ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT. The provisions of the Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation ("Amended Articles") may be deemed to have an
anti-takeover effect or may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover
attempt that a shareholder might consider in such shareholder's best interest,
including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price
for the shares held by a shareholder. Pursuant to the Amended Articles, the
Board of Directors may, by resolution, establish one or more series of preferred
stock, having such number of shares, designation, relative voting rights,
dividend rates, liquidation or other rights, preferences and limitations as may
be fixed by the Board of Directors without any further shareholder approval.
Such rights, preferences, privileges and limitations as may be established could
have the effect of impeding or discouraging the acquisition of control of the
Company.

          LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY. Texas law authorizes a Texas
corporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the
Company and its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of certain
fiduciary duties as a director. The Company believes that such a provision is
beneficial in attracting and retaining qualified directors, and accordingly, its
Amended Articles include a provision eliminating a director's liability for
monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in
certain specified instances. The foregoing provision of the Amended Articles may
reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may
discourage or deter shareholders or management from bringing

                                       15
<PAGE>
a lawsuit against directors for breaches of their fiduciary duties, even though
such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefitted the Company and
its shareholders.

         GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. The Company's business is affected by
governmental regulations relating to its industry segments in general, as well
as environmental and safety regulations that have specific application to the
Company's business. While the Company is not aware of any proposed or pending
legislation, there can be no assurance that future legislation will not have an
adverse effect on the Company's business or competitive position. The Company
believes that it disposes of environmentally sensitive materials in accordance
with present rules and regulations. In the event the Company is required to
adopt additional environmental measures, the cost may be substantial.


                                    THE OFFER

TERMS OF THE OFFER

         The Company hereby offers to the holders of its issued and outstanding
Class B Warrants the opportunity to exchange each Class B Warrant and $10.00
cash for one share of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value, one Class C
Warrant and one Class D Warrant beginning on the date hereof and ending at 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on December __, 1997 (the "Expiration Date") unless
extended, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Offer
applies to all of the outstanding Class B Warrants, and the Company's obligation
to consummate the Offer is not subject to the exercise of any minimum number of
Class B Warrants.

         In accordance with this Offer, the Company will issue Common Stock,
Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants for Class B Warrants effectively
exercised, and not withdrawn, on the Expiration Date or as soon as practicable
after such Expiration Date, subject to certain conditions set forth herein. SEE
"Conditions of the Offer" below.

         AN EXCHANGING WARRANTHOLDER WHO TENDERS CLASS B WARRANTS AND PAYS TEN
DOLLARS ($10.00) PER CLASS B WARRANT WILL RECEIVE FOR EACH CLASS B WARRANT
TENDERED ONE SHARE OF COMMON STOCK, ONE CLASS C WARRANT AND ONE CLASS D WARRANT.

         EACH CLASS C WARRANT TO BE ISSUED WILL ENTITLE THE HOLDER THEREOF TO
PURCHASE ONE SHARE OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AT A PURCHASE PRICE OF $15.00
THROUGH AND INCLUDING JANUARY 14, 2000. THE TERMS OF CURRENTLY OUTSTANDING CLASS
C WARRANTS, WHICH ARE EXERCISABLE THROUGH AND INCLUDING JANUARY 14, 1999, WILL
AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE, AUTOMATICALLY BE EXTENDED TO JANUARY 14, 2000. EACH
CLASS D WARRANT TO BE ISSUED WILL ENTITLE THE HOLDER TO PURCHASE ONE SHARE OF
THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AT AN EXERCISE PRICE OF $22.50 PER SHARE THROUGH AND
INCLUDING JANUARY 14, 2000. THE COMPANY MAY REDEEM THE CLASS C AND CLASS D
WARRANTS AT $.05 PER WARRANT UPON 30 DAYS PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE IF THE CLOSING
BID PRICE OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK EQUALS OR EXCEEDS $20.00 AND $25.00,
RESPECTIVELY, FOR 20 CONSECUTIVE TRADING DAYS. THE EXERCISE PRICES OF THE CLASS
C AND CLASS D WARRANTS WERE ARBITRARILY DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF
DIRECTORS AND ARE NOT

                                       16
<PAGE>
NECESSARILY RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S ASSETS, EARNINGS, BOOK VALUE OR OTHER
GENERALLY ACCEPTED CRITERIA OF VALUE.

         If a holder of Class B Warrants does not want to tender his Class B
Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Offer, he may exercise such Class B
Warrants under the present terms of the Class B Warrants. Each Class B Warrant
entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $10.00 per share through and including January 14, 1999.

EXPIRATION DATE; EXTENSIONS

         Subject to the terms and conditions as set forth herein, the Company
will accept all Class B Warrants tendered under the terms of this Offer which
are not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration
Date. The Company at its sole option may extend this Offer for an additional
period of time by giving written notification of such extension to the Exchange
Agent. In addition, the Company may at its election cause notice of any
extension of the Offer to be published in the "New York Times," the "Wall Street
Journal" or any other newspaper selected by the Company.

         The Company has no present intention to extend this Offer beyond the
Expiration Date. If, however, the Company does extend this Offer beyond such
date, the Company intends that such extension will not exceed an additional 10
business days. Any extension or expiration of the Offer will be followed as soon
as practicable, but in no event later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date, by public
announcement thereof, and any amendment of the Offer will be followed as soon as
practicable by public announcement. Without limiting the manner by which the
Company may choose to make such public announcement, the Company shall not,
unless otherwise required by law, have any obligation to publish, advertise or
otherwise communicate any such public announcement other than by making a
release to the Dow Jones News Service.

         If the Company decides to waive, modify or amend a material provision
of the Offer, it may do so at any time, provided that it gives notice thereof in
the manner specified above and extends such Offer to the extent required by the
Exchange Act. With respect to an increase or decrease in the percentage of the
class of securities being tendered for or a change in the consideration offered,
Rule 13e-4(f)(1) of the Exchange Act generally requires that a tender offer
remain open for at least 10 business days from the date the notice of such
change is first published or sent or given to security holders. The minimum
period during which an offer must remain open following other material changes
in the terms of the offer will depend on the facts and circumstances, including
the relative materiality of the change in the terms of information concerning
the Offer. Any amendment to the Offer will apply to all Class B Warrants
exercised pursuant thereto, regardless of when or in what order the Class B
Warrants are exercised.

PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING CLASS B WARRANTS

         To accept the Offer and tender the Class B Warrants, the accompanying
Letter of Transmittal ("Letter of Transmittal") must be completed and executed
as indicated thereon and the Letter of Transmittal and the Class B Warrants must
be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price by certified
or official bank check made payable to Industrial Holdings, Inc. or by wire
transfer to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the Company, together with any
other required documents. The foregoing materials must be delivered to and
received by the Exchange Agent at one of its addresses set forth on the back
cover of this Offering Circular-Prospectus on or before the Expiration Date.
However, in lieu of the foregoing, a

                                       17
<PAGE>
Warrantholder may either (i) exercise the Class B Warrants pursuant to the
procedure for book-entry exercise set forth below (and a confirmation of such
book-entry exercise must be received by the Exchange Agent on or before the
Expiration Date) or (ii) comply with the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth
below. The beneficial holders of Class B Warrants that are held by or registered
in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust Company or other nominee
or custodian are urged to contact such entity promptly if they wish to accept
the Offer. LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL, PAYMENT OF THE AGGREGATE EXERCISE PRICE AND
CLASS B WARRANTS SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO THE COMPANY.

         THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL, CLASS B WARRANTS, THE
AGGREGATE WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE
EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE HOLDER, BUT IF SUCH DELIVERY
IS BY MAIL, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE HOLDER USE PROPERLY INSURED, REGISTERED
MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, AND THAT THE MAILING BE MADE SUFFICIENTLY IN
ADVANCE OF THE EXPIRATION DATE TO PERMIT DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT ON OR
PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.

         Within two business days after the date hereof, the Exchange Agent will
establish accounts with respect to the Class B Warrants at each of The
Depository Trust Company and Philadelphia Depository Trust Company (each a
"Book-Entry Transfer Facility" and collectively referred to as "Book-Entry
Transfer Facilities") for purposes of the Offer. Any financial institution that
is a participant in a Book-Entry Transfer Facility's system may make book-entry
delivery of Class B Warrants by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to
transfer the same into the Exchange Agent's account at such Book-Entry Transfer
Facility in accordance with such Book-Entry Transfer Facility's procedure for
such transfer and to confirm such transfer to the Exchange Agent in writing.
Although delivery of the Class B Warrants may be effected through book-entry
transfer, either (i) a properly completed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile
thereof) executed by the holder of record, together with the proper signature
guarantees, and the certified or official bank check made payable to Industrial
Holdings, Inc. or a wire transfer for the benefit of the Company, together with
all other documents required, must be transmitted to and received by the
Exchange Agent at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover page of this
Offering Circular-Prospectus on or before the Expiration Date or (ii) the
guaranteed delivery procedure set forth below must be complied with. Delivery of
documents to a Book-Entry Transfer Facility in accordance with such Book-Entry
Transfer Facility's procedure does not constitute delivery to the Exchange
Agent.

         Except as otherwise provided below, each signature on the Letter of
Transmittal, Class B Warrant certificate or instrument of transfer must be
guaranteed by a firm or other entity that is a member in good standing of the
Security Transfer Agent's Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange
Medallion Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (singularly, an
"Eligible Institution"). Signatures on a Letter of Transmittal need not be
guaranteed (i) if the Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder
of the Class B Warrants tendered and the holder has not completed the box titled
"Special Payment Instructions" or "Special Issuance Instructions" on the Letters
of Transmittal; or (ii) if such Class B Warrants are tendered for the account of
an Eligible Institution.

         If the certificates for Class B Warrants are registered in the name of
a person other than the person exercising such Class B Warrants, or if Class B
Warrants that are not accepted for exercise pursuant to the Offer are to be
returned to a person other than the registered owner, then the certificates for
such Class B Warrants must be endorsed or accompanied by an appropriate
instrument of transfer, signed exactly as the name of the registered owner
appears on the certificates, with the signatures on the certificates or
instruments of transfer guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

                                       18
<PAGE>
         The issuance of Common Stock in exchange for Class B Warrants exercised
pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Exchange
Agent of the Letters of Transmittal and certificates for such Class B Warrants
(or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such Class B Warrants into the
Exchange Agent's account at one of the Book-Entry Transfer Facilities as
described above) and the certified or official bank check or the wire transfer,
together with all other documents required. If less than the number of Class B
Warrants evidenced by a submitted certificate are to be exercised, the
exercising Warrantholder should indicate on the Letter of Transmittal the number
of Class B Warrants being exercised. The number of Class B Warrants represented
by the certificates for Class B Warrants delivered to the Exchange Agent and
accompanied by a Letter of Transmittal and the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price
will be deemed to have been exercised.

         All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt) and acceptance of the Class B Warrants or payments of the aggregate
Warrant Exercise Price tendered will be determined by the Company, which
determination shall be final and binding. The Company reserves the absolute
right to reject any or all tenders of any particular Class B Warrants and
payments of the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price not properly tendered or the
acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Company, be unlawful. The
Company also reserves the right to waive any irregularities or conditions of
tender as to any particular Class B Warrants, and the Company's interpretation
of the terms and conditions of this Offer (including the instructions and Letter
of Transmittal) shall be final and binding. Any irregularities in connection
with the tenders, unless waived, must be cured within such time as the Company
shall determine, which time may be extended beyond the Expiration Date. Neither
the Company nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any duty to give notification
of defects in such tenders or incur any liability for failure to give such
notification. Tenders of the Class B Warrants and payments of the aggregate
Warrant Exercise Price received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly
tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will
be returned (without interest on the cash payment or deduction therefrom) by the
Exchange Agent to the appropriate Warrantholder as soon as practicable.

GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURE

         If a holder of Class B Warrants desires to exercise such Class B
Warrants pursuant to the Offer but is unable either to (i) deliver his
certificates, the certified or official bank check or the wire transfer and all
other required documents to the Exchange Agent on or before the Expiration Date
or (ii) comply with the procedure for book-entry exercise on a timely basis,
such Class B Warrants may nevertheless be exercised pursuant to the Offer,
provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied:

                  (i)   such exercises are made by or through an Eligible 
                  Institution;

                  (ii)  prior to the Expiration Date, a properly completed and
                  duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (by telegram,
                  telex, facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery) setting
                  forth the name and address of the Warrantholder and the number
                  of Class B Warrants exercised, stating that the exercise is
                  being made thereby and guaranteeing that within three trading

WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS

         Any exercise of Class B Warrants pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn
subject to the procedures described below, at any time prior to the Expiration
Date. Thereafter, such exercises are irrevocable, except that they may be
withdrawn after January __, 1998 unless theretofore accepted for exercise as
provided in this Offering Circular-Prospectus. If the Company extends the period
of time during which the Offer is open, is delayed in its acceptance of the
Class B Warrants for exercise or is unable to accept the Class B Warrants for
exercise for any reason, then, without prejudice to the Company's rights under
the Offer, the Exchange Agent may, on behalf of the Company, retain all Class B
Warrants exercised, and such Class B Warrants may not be withdrawn except as
provided herein, subject to Rule 13E-4(f)(5) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which provides that the person making
an issuer exchange offer shall either pay the consideration offered or return
tendered securities, promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer.

         For a withdrawal to be effective, a written, telegraphic or facsimile
transmission notice of withdrawal must (i) be timely received by the Exchange
Agent at one of its addresses on the back cover of this Offering
Circular-Prospectus before the Exchange Agent receives notice of acceptance by
the Company of the Class B Warrants, (ii) set forth the name of the tendering
Warrantholder, (iii) if the Class B Warrants have been deposited with or
otherwise identified to the Exchange Agent, contain the description of the Class
B Warrants to be withdrawn and indicate the certificate numbers shown on the
certificates evidencing such Class B Warrants (except in the case of book-entry
exercise), and (iv) be executed by the Warrantholder in the same manner as the
original Class B Warrant certificate tendered or be accompanied by evidence
satisfactory to the Company that the person withdrawing the exercise pursuant to
this Offer has succeeded to the beneficial ownership of the Class B Warrants. In
the case of Class B Warrants tendered by book-entry transfer, a notice of
withdrawal must specify, in lieu of certificate numbers, the name and number of
the account at one of the Book-Entry Transfer Facilities to be credited with the
withdrawn Class B Warrants. All questions as to the validity (including the time
of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Company, whose
determination shall be final and binding. Class B Warrants and payments
withdrawn in the manner specified above will not be considered to have been duly
tendered. However, withdrawn Class B Warrants may be re-exercised at any time
prior to the Expiration Date.

         No interest shall be paid on any amount returned to a Warrantholder
pursuant to a proper withdrawal or otherwise, regardless of any delay in the
Offer.

ACCEPTANCE OF CLASS B WARRANTS; DELIVERY OF COMMON STOCK, CLASS C WARRANTS AND 
CLASS D WARRANTS

         Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Offer, Class B
Warrants tendered for exercise and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for
exercise on the Expiration Date. For purposes of this Offer, the Company will be
deemed to have accepted for exercise properly tendered Class B Warrants when, as
and if the Company has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange
Agent. All exercising warrantholders will be deemed to have waived any right to
receive notice of the acceptance of their Class B Warrants.

         The Exchange Agent will act as agent for the exercising holders of
Class B Warrants for the purposes of receiving from the Company the Common
Stock, Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants and Class B Warrants not accepted
for exercise and transmitting such securities to the holders. Tendered Class B
Warrants not accepted for exercise by the Company will be returned (or, in the
case of Class B Warrants exercised by book-entry transfer through a Book-Entry
Transfer Facility, will be credited to an account maintained with such
Book-Entry Transfer Facility) without expense to the exercising holders as
promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date.

         If the Company extends the period during which the Offer is open, is
delayed in its acceptance for exercise or is unable to accept for exercise any
Class B Warrants pursuant to the Offer for any reason, then, without prejudice
to the Company's rights hereunder, the Exchange Agent, at the request of the
Company, may nevertheless retain Class B Warrants exercised together with any
certified or official bank check or wire transfer and any other required
documents subject to the withdrawal rights of holders thereof as set forth
herein and applicable securities laws.

         Delivery of the Common Stock, Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants in
exchange for Class B Warrants and payments validly tendered and accepted by the
Company will be made as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. All
deliveries will be made through the Exchange Agent.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

         The following summary is a general discussion of certain of the
anticipated federal income tax consequences of the acceptance of the Offer. No
discussion is included regarding any applicable state, local or foreign tax
laws.

         This summary is limited to Warrantholders who hold the Class B Warrants
as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning
of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The tax consequences to any particular Warrantholder may be affected by matters
not discussed below. In addition, the Company has not sought a ruling from the
Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel with respect to such tax
consequences. Accordingly, each Warrantholder is advised to consult with his or
her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of holding or exercising the
Class B Warrants.

         ACCEPTANCE OF THE OFFER. It is possible that the acceptance of the
Offer would require the recognition of income by a Warrantholder, as the Class C
and Class D Warrants received by any Warrantholder accepting the Offer
constitute new and independent value (in the form of an inducement to exercise
the Class B Warrants), which is in addition to the original rights granted under
the Class B Warrants. Thus, those Warrantholders who accept the Offer may
recognize income to the extent of the extra value received,

                                       21
<PAGE>
measured by the fair market value of the Class C and D Warrants. The character
of the income will be either capital gain realized from the exchange of a Class
B Warrant for Common Stock and the Class C and Class D Warrant or ordinary
income in the form of a taxable receipt of intangible property. Each
Warrantholder who exercises his Class B Warrants pursuant to this Offer will
have an adjusted basis in the Common Stock received equal to the aggregate
Warrant Exercise Price paid, plus the basis of the Class B Warrant and Class C
and Class D Warrants received equal to the amount of income reported on receipt
thereof.

         EXERCISE OF THE CLASS C AND CLASS D WARRANTS. If a Warrantholder who
accepts the Offer reports income upon the receipt of the Class C and Class D
Warrants based upon their fair market value, he will not report income to that
extent when he subsequently exercises the Warrants. The character of the income
will depend upon whether the Class C and Class D Warrants are properly
considered to have been received in a capital transaction (which would result in
capital gain) or are characterized as intangible property (which would result in
ordinary income), as discussed above. The adjusted tax basis of the Common Stock
received in exchange for the Class C and Class D Warrants would be equal to the
amount reported as income (whether upon acceptance of the Offer or later) plus
the amount paid upon exercise of the Class C and Class D Warrants. The holding
period for the Class C and D Warrants will begin on the date this Offer is
consummated.

         TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE COMPANY. No gain or loss will be recognized to
the Company as a result of the Offer or the acceptance of the Offer by the
Warrantholders.

         Pursuant to Section 382 of the Code, utilization of net operating loss
("NOL") carryforwards is limited if there has been a change in control of the
Company during a specified time period. The Company's issuance of Common Stock
in its initial public offering in January 1992 has previously resulted in
limitations under Section 382 with respect to the Company's ability to use NOL
carryforwards. In addition, the Company issued Common Stock in private offerings
in 1996 and 1997. However, the Company has determined that the exercise of the
Class B Warrants under this Offer, when added to the 1996 and 1997 Common Stock
issuances, will not create an additional change in control under Section 382 and
an additional limitation on the Company's NOL carryforwards.

EFFECT ON NON-EXERCISING CLASS B WARRANTHOLDERS

         THE EFFECT OF THE OFFER ON NON-EXERCISING CLASS B WARRANTHOLDERS WILL
BE SIGNIFICANT. FIRST, THE CLASS B WARRANTS WILL EXPIRE AFTER JANUARY 14, 1999.
IN ADDITION, PRIOR TO THEIR EXPIRATION, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE OFFER IS ACCEPTED
AND CLASS B WARRANTS ARE EXERCISED, THE TRADING MARKET FOR UNEXERCISED CLASS B
WARRANTS WILL BECOME MORE LIMITED, AND THEIR PRICE IS LIKELY TO BE ADVERSELY
AFFECTED. THE CLASS B WARRANTS MAY BE REDEEMED BY THE COMPANY AT $.05 PER
WARRANT, ON NOT LESS THAN 30 DAYS' WRITTEN NOTICE, IF THE CLOSING PRICE OF THE
COMMON STOCK FOR A PERIOD OF 20 CONSECUTIVE TRADING DAYS EQUALS OR EXCEEDS
$12.00 PER SHARE. AS OF NOVEMBER 25, 1997, THE CLOSING PRICE OF COMMON STOCK HAD
EQUALED OR EXCEEDED $12.00 PER SHARE FOR 20 CONSECUTIVE TRADING DAYS. THEREFORE,
THE CLASS B WARRANTS MAY BE REDEEMED BY THE COMPANY AT ANY TIME UPON NOT LESS
THAN 30 DAYS WRITTEN NOTICE. THE COMPANY HAS NO PRESENT PLANS TO REDEEM THOSE
CLASS B WARRANTS NOT EXERCISED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS OFFER, BUT RESERVES THE
RIGHT TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE.

CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

         Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer, the Company may
cancel, modify or terminate the Offer and is not required to accept for exercise
any Class B Warrants pursuant to the Offer if prior to the Expiration Date:

                  (i) there shall be pending, instituted or threatened any legal
         action or administrative proceeding before any court or governmental
         agency, by any governmental agency or any other person, prohibiting,
         restricting or delaying the Offer;

                  (ii) any statute, rule or regulation shall have been enacted,
         or any action shall have been taken by any governmental authority,
         which would prohibit or materially restrict or delay consummation of
         the Offer; or

                  (iii) there shall have occurred (and the adverse effect of
         such occurrence will be continuing): (a) any general suspension of, or
         limitation on prices for trading on, the Nasdaq National Market or in
         the other over-the-counter markets; (b) a declaration of a banking
         moratorium by United States or New York authorities; or (c) a
         commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other international or
         national calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States of
         America which would reasonably be expected to affect materially and
         adversely (or to delay materially) the consummation of the Offer.

         If the Company terminates the Offer pursuant to any of the conditions
set forth above, the Exchange Agent will promptly return the applicable Class B
Warrants and funds for the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price to the holders
thereof.

         The Company reserves the absolute right to waive satisfaction of any
conditions and compliance with any terms of the Offer. The Company further
reserves the absolute right to reject any and all exercises not in proper form.
On the Expiration Date, the Company will accept any and all Class B Warrants
which are properly exercised, subject to the conditions stated herein.

LISTING OF THE CLASS D WARRANTS

         The Company has applied for listing of the Class D Warrants on the
Nasdaq National Market. However, even if initially listed, there can be no
assurance that the Class D Warrants will meet the requirements for continued
inclusion and continue to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market. Failure to
continue to be listed may adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the
Class D Warrants.

POSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         The Board of Directors of the Company believes the Company will benefit
from the receipt of net cash proceeds of up to $12,400,000 received pursuant to
this Offer and the possible receipt of additional financing in the future from
the exercise of the Class C Warrants and subsequently from the Class D Warrants
of up to $56,369,235 in the aggregate. However, the Board of Directors is not
making any recommendations to the holders of the Class B Warrants as to whether
they should exchange or refrain from exchanging any or all of their Class B
Warrants. Each Warrantholder must make his or her own decision as to whether to
exchange all or any portion of the Class B Warrants owned.

                                       23
<PAGE>
PAYMENT OF FEES AND EXPENSES

         The Company has agreed to pay the Exchange Agent a fee of $7,500 to act
in such capacity reasonable and customary fees for its services and will
reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
The Company will also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding
copies of this Offering Circular-Prospectus and related documents to the
beneficial owners of the Class B Warrants, and in handling or forwarding tenders
for their customers. However, the Company will not make any other payments to
brokers, dealers or others soliciting tenders of Class B Warrants. Employees of
the Company may solicit tenders of Class B Warrants, for which they will receive
no additional compensation.

MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES

         Any Warrantholder whose Class B Warrant certificates have been
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should contact the Company at its address
set forth below for further information.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the exercise of the
Class B Warrants assuming the exercise of all outstanding Class B Warrants
(after deducting the estimated expenses of the Offer payable by the Company)
will be $12,400,000. The Company anticipates that it will use the estimated
$12,400,000 net proceeds from the exercise of the Class B Warrants to repay its
Demand Note and Term Note.

         The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock and does not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company
presently intends to retain future earnings to support the Company's operations
and growth. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent on the
amount of funds legally available therefor, the Company's earnings, financial
condition, capital requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors
may deem relevant.

                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         Pursuant to the Company's Amended Articles, the authorized capital
stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share, and 7,500,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Preferred Stock"). The following description of certain of the
Company's securities is a summary, does not purport to be complete or to give
effect to applicable statutory or common law and is subject in all respects to
the applicable provisions of the Company's Amended Articles.

COMMON STOCK

         At November 25, 1997, 6,489,368 shares of Common Stock were issued and
outstanding. Holders of Common Stock are entitled, among other things, to one
vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders and, in the
event of liquidation, to share ratably in the distribution of assets remaining
after payment of liabilities. Holders of Common Stock have no cumulative voting
rights, and, accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
have the ability to elect all of the directors. Holders of Common Stock have no
preemptive or other rights to subscribe for shares and are entitled to such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor.

PREFERRED STOCK

         None of the authorized shares of Preferred Stock have been issued or
are outstanding. The Board of Directors has the authority to cause the Company
to issue up to the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more
series, to designate the number of shares constituting any series, and to fix
the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend
rights, voting rights, redemption and conversion rights and liquidation
preferences of such series, without further action by the shareholders. Because
the Board is authorized to issue Preferred Stock with such preferences and
rights as it determines, it may afford the holders of any series of Preferred
Stock preferences, rights or voting powers superior to those of holders of
Common Stock. The Company has no present plan to issue any shares of Preferred
Stock.

WARRANTS

         At November 25, 1997 there were 1,254,414 Class B Warrants and 621,914
Class C Warrants outstanding.

         Each currently outstanding Class B Warrant and Class C Warrant entitles
the registered holder thereof to purchase from the Company one share of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 and $15.00 per share, respectively. The
Class B and Class C Warrants may be exercised through and including January 14,
1999. The Class B and Class C Warrants may be redeemed by the Company at $.05
per warrant, on not less than 30 days' written notice, if the closing price of
the Common Stock for a period of 20 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds
$12.00 and $20.00 per share, respectively. As of November 25, 1997, the closing
price of Common Stock had equaled or exceeded $12.00 per share for 20
consecutive trading days. Therefore, the Class B Warrants may be redeemed by the
Company at any time upon not less than 30 days written notice.

         The Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants to be issued in connection
with the Offer (together with the currently outstanding Class B and Class C
Warrants, (the "Warrants")), will entitle the registered holder

                                       28
<PAGE>
thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 and
$22.50 per share, respectively, and may be exercised through and including
January 14, 2000. The term of currently outstanding Class C Warrants, which are
exercisable through and including January 14, 1999, will, after the Expiration
Date, automatically be extended to January 14, 2000. The Company may redeem each
of the Class C Warrants and the Class D Warrants to be issued in the Offer at
$.05 per Warrant if the closing bid price of the Common Stock shall have equaled
or exceeded at least $20.00 and $25.00 per share, respectively, for a period of
20 consecutive trading days. Notice of any redemption must be mailed to all
holders of Warrants at least 30 days but no more than 60 days before the date on
which the Warrants have been called for redemption.

         The holders of Warrants do not have any voting or any other rights of
shareholders of the Company and are not entitled to receive dividends. In the
event of an adjustment in the number of shares issuable on exercise of the
Warrants, the Company will not issue fractional shares, but will, instead, pay
to the holder of the Warrants at the time of such exercise an amount in cash
equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a share of Common
Stock.

         The exercise price and the number and kind of shares or other
securities purchasable on exercise of any Warrants and the number of Warrants
are subject to adjustment on the occurrence of certain events, including stock
dividends, reclassifications, reorganizations, consolidations and mergers. No
adjustment in the exercise price is required until cumulative adjustments amount
to one percent or more of the exercise price. If the Company effects any capital
reorganization, certain reclassifications of the Common Stock, any consolidation
or merger (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any
reclassification or change in the outstanding shares), or sells all or
substantially all its properties and assets, the Warrants become exercisable
only for the number of shares of stock or other securities, assets, or cash to
which a holder of the number of shares of the Company purchasable (at the time
of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale) on
exercise of such Warrants would have been entitled on such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale.

         The Warrants are not exercisable by a holder if (i) the shares issuable
on exercise of such Warrants have not been registered under the securities or
blue sky laws of the state of residence of such holder or (ii) a current
prospectus meeting the requirements of the laws of such state cannot be lawfully
delivered by or on behalf of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the
respective Warrant agreements, the Company has agreed to use reasonable efforts
to register such shares in states in which holders of Warrants are known to
reside and to maintain a current prospectus relating thereto.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND TEXAS LAW

         ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT. The provisions of the Amended Articles summarized
in the succeeding paragraphs, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect or
may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a
shareholder might consider in such shareholder's best interest, including those
attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares
held by a shareholder.

         Pursuant to the Amended Articles, the Board of Directors may, by
resolution, establish one or more series of preferred stock, having such number
of shares, designation, relative voting rights, dividend rates, liquidation or
other rights, preferences and limitations as may be fixed by the Board of
Directors without any further shareholder approval. Such rights, preferences,
privileges and limitations as may be established could have the effect of
impeding or discouraging the acquisition of control of the Company.

                                       29
<PAGE>
         LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY. Texas law authorizes a Texas
corporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the
Company and its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of certain
fiduciary duties as a director. The Company believes that such a provision is
beneficial in attracting and retaining qualified directors, and accordingly, its
Amended Articles include a provision eliminating a director's liability for
monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except: (i) for
any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders; (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit; or (iv) for certain other actions. Thus,
pursuant to Texas law, the Company's directors are not insulated from liability
for breach of their duty of loyalty (requiring that, in making a business
decision, directors act in good faith and in the honest belief that the action
was taken in the best interest of the Company), or for claims arising under the
federal securities laws. The foregoing provision of the Company's Amended
Articles may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors
and may discourage or deter shareholders or management from bringing a lawsuit
against directors for breaches of their fiduciary duties, even though such an
action, if successful, might otherwise have benefitted the Company and its
shareholders.

         INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. To the maximum extent
permitted by law, the Amended Articles and the Bylaws provide for mandatory
indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company
against all expense, liability and loss to which they may become subject or
which they may incur as a result of being or having been a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company. In addition, the Company must advance or
reimburse directors and officers and may advance or reimburse employees and
agents for expenses incurred by them in connection with indemnifiable claims.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

         The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock and Warrants and
the Warrant Agent for the Warrants is ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, Stock
Transfer Department, 85 Challenger Road, Overpeck Centre, Ridgefield Park, New

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Article 2.02 of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA")
provides that a Texas corporation shall have the power to indemnify directors,
officers, employees and agents and to purchase and maintain liability insurance
for those persons. Article 2.02-1 of the TBCA empowers the Company to indemnify
any director or officer for expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which such director or officer is a
party by reason of his position. In no event however, shall a director or
officer be entitled to indemnification in any action, suit, or proceeding in
which such director shall have been found not to have acted in good faith and in
the reasonable belief that his conduct as such director was in the Company's
best interests; and, in the case of an officer of the Company, that such officer
did not act in good faith and in the reasonable belief that his conduct was at
least not opposed to the Company's best interests; and in the case of any
criminal proceeding, such director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful. Moreover, no director shall be indemnified for any
obligations arising from any action, suit, or proceeding in which (i) such
director is found liable on the basis that personal profit was improperly
received by him, whether or not the action resulted from an action taken in his
official capacity, or (ii) such director is found liable to the Company.

         The Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws") provide that the
Company shall indemnify each director or former director and each officer or
former officer of the Company and each person who is or who may have served at
its request as a director or officer of another corporation in which it owned
shares of stock or of which it is a creditor, or as a partner, venturer,
proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or

                                      II-1
<PAGE>
similar functionary of another partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship,
trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise against judgments,
settlements, penalties and reasonable expenses (including court costs and
attorneys' fees) incurred by him in connection with any claim made against him
or any action, suit, or proceeding in which he is or is threatened to be made a
named defendant or respondent by reason of his being or having been such
director or officer.

         The Company shall indemnify such director or officer to the greatest
extent permitted by law for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any
action, suit, or proceeding in which such director or officer has been wholly
successful in the defense of the proceeding, on the merits or otherwise, except
that if such action, suit, or proceeding was brought by or on behalf of the
Company, indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses actually
incurred by such director or officer with respect to such proceeding; provided,
however, that such indemnity shall be conditioned on the prior determination by
a majority of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof who are not named
defendants or respondents in such action, suit, or proceeding, or special legal
counsel appointed thereby, or, solely in the event the Board of Directors is not
able to act and unable to select special legal counsel, by vote of those
shareholders who are not also directors named as defendant or respondent in such
action, suit, or proceeding, that such director or officer has acted in good
faith and in the reasonable belief as to the best interests of the Company.

         If any pending, threatened, or completed proceeding is settled, amounts
paid as indemnification of the settlement shall not exceed costs, fees and
expenses that would have been reasonably incurred if the action, suit or
proceeding had been litigated to a conclusion. The determination by the Board of
Directors, or by independent counsel, and the payment of amounts by the Company
on the basis thereof, shall not prevent a shareholder from challenging such
indemnification by appropriate legal proceedings. Neither shall a determination
by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or special legal counsel
appointed thereby, that indemnification is not permissible, prevent a director
or officer from challenging such determination by appropriate legal proceedings.
Reasonable expenses of a director or officer who was, is, or is threatened to be
made a named defendant or respondent in any proceeding shall be paid in advance
before any final disposition following appropriate written request to the
Company.

         The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company as a
director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or
similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other
enterprise, against any liability asserted against him in such a capacity or
arising out of his status as such a person, whether or not the Company would
have the power to indemnify him against that liability.

         The foregoing rights and indemnification shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas presently in force and as
hereinafter amended. In all events, the Company's Bylaws shall be deemed to
grant the Company's directors and officers the maximum protection consistent
with law and shall be deemed amended from time to time to reflect any changes in
such law. The foregoing shall not be exclusive of any private contractual right
of indemnification, nor shall it limit the same; provided, however, such
contractual agreement shall not be inconsistent with the TBCA presently in force
or hereafter enacted.

         The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, contain provisions
eliminating or limiting the liability of a director for an act or omission in
his capacity as director; however, those provisions do not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director for: (i) a breach of a director's duty of loyalty to
the Company or its shareholders; (ii) an act or omission not in good faith or
that involves intentional misconduct or a

                                      II-2
<PAGE>
knowing violation of the law; (iii) a transaction from which a director received
an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken
within the scope of the director's office; (iv) an act or omission from which
the liability of a director is expressly provided for by statute; or (v) an act
related to an unlawful stock repurchase or payment of a dividend.

Item 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

      (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
      made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                  (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
            the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act");

                  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
            after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
            recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
            the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
            forth in the Registration Statement;

                  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
            plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
            Statement or any material change to such information in the
            Registration Statement;

            (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
      1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
      Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
      offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
      bona fide offering thereof; and

            (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
      amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
      the termination of the offering.

      (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

      (c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, the latest annual report, to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or
cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

                                WARRANT AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT is dated as of ______________, 1997, by and between
INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Texas corporation ("Company"), and CHASEMELLON
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES (herein with any successor or alternate agent called the
"Warrant Agent"), with reference to the following recitals:

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, pursuant to an S-2 Registration Statement, the Company is
making a tender offer to holders of Class B Common Stock purchase warrant
("Class A Warrant"), whereby Class B Warrant holders who exercise such warrants
pursuant to the terms of the tender offer receive one share of Common Stock, one
Class C Common Stock purchase warrant and one Class D Common Stock purchase
warrant.

         WHEREAS, Owners of the Class D Warrants (referred to hereafter as
"Warrant") shall have certain rights as specified herein; and

         WHEREAS, each Warrant issued under this Agreement entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at the price designated as the
"Exercise Price" herein (subject to adjustment hereunder);

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained
herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                       ISSUANCE AND EXECUTION OF WARRANTS

         Section 1.01 APPOINTMENT OF WARRANT AGENT. The Company hereby appoints
the Warrant as Agent to act as its agent in accordance with the instructions
hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts
such appointment.

         Section 1.02 FORM OF WARRANT. Each Warrant shall be evidenced by a
certificate ("Warrant Certificate"). The text of each Warrant Certificate (and
the related forms of exercise and assignment) shall be substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and may have such identification, designation,
and information thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to
comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with
any rule or regulation of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
or any stock exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, or to conform to
usage.

         Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
President or any Vice President and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
and delivered to the Warrant Agent, and shall be countersigned and delivered by
the Warrant Agent upon the written order of the Company signed by any such
officer of the Company. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of its
initial issuance. Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the
Company either manually or by facsimile signature printed thereon and shall have
the Company's seal or a facsimile thereof affixed or imprinted thereon. The
Warrant Agent shall countersign the Warrant Certificate manually, and no Warrant
Certificate shall be valid for any

                                       -1-
<PAGE>
purpose unless so countersigned. In case any officer whose signature has been
placed upon any Warrant Certificate ceases to be such before such Warrant
Certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if such officer
had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

                                   ARTICLE II

                  EXERCISE PRICE, TERM, AND METHOD OF EXERCISE

         Section 2.01 EXERCISE PRICE. Unless adjusted as otherwise provided
herein, the exercise price ("Exercise Price") of each Warrant issued hereunder
shall be $22.50. The Exercise Price may be adjusted by the Company upon any
extension of the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to Section
2.05 and shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in
Article III hereof.

         Section 2.02 WARRANT RIGHTS AND TERM. Each Warrant shall entitle the
person in whose name the Warrant Certificate shall then be registered on the
books maintained by the Warrant Agent ("Warrant Holder"), upon exercise thereof
and subject to the provisions thereof and of this Agreement, including
provisions relating to adjustments, to purchase from the Company one fully paid
and non-assessable share of Common Stock at the then Exercise Price, at any time
on and after the date hereof until the expiration of the Warrant at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on January 14, 2000, or such later date as may be
established pursuant to Section 2.05 ("Expiration Date").

         Section 2.03 EXPIRATION. Each Warrant not exercised by 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights
thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall
thereupon cease.

         Section 2.04 METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Warrant Holder may exercise his
rights with respect to all or any whole number of Warrants evidenced by a
Warrant Certificate, provided that (except as provided in Section 4.04),
Warrants shall not be exercisable for other than a whole number of shares of
Common Stock. Exercise shall be effected by surrender of the Warrant
Certificate, with the exercise form thereon duly executed, to the Warrant Agent
at its offices as designated in Section 6.07 hereof, together with the Exercise
Price for each share of Common Stock to be purchased. Payment of the Exercise
Price shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by certified
check, payable to the order of the Warrant Agent.

         Upon receipt of a Warrant Certificate with the exercise form duly
executed and accompanied by full and proper payment of the Exercise Price for
the shares of Common Stock purchased thereby, the Warrant Agent (after
requisitioning any certificates for shares of Common Stock from the Company's
transfer agent, if necessary) shall deliver to the Warrant Holder certificates
for the total number of whole shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants
evidenced by such Warrant Certificate are being exercised in such names and
denominations as the Warrant Holder has directed; provided, however, that if, on
the date of surrender of such Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise
Price, the transfer books for the Common Stock shall be closed, the certificate
for the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable as of the date on which such
books shall next be open (whether before, on, or after the Expiration Date) at
the Exercise Price and upon the other conditions in effect on the date of such
surrender.

         Section 2.05 EXTENSION OF EXPIRATION DATE. At any time or from time to
time prior to the Expiration Date then in effect, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, by delivery of notice to the Warrant Agent, extend the Expiration
Date to provide for an additional period or periods during which the Warrants

                                       -2-
<PAGE>
may be exercised as the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect. In
connection with any such extension of the Expiration Date, the Company may, in
its sole discretion, increase or decrease the Exercise Price payable during any
such extension.

         Section 2.06 METHOD OF CALL. The Company, may in its sole discretion,
call the Warrants at any time by paying Warrant Holders $.05 per Warrant, if the
shares of Common Stock have traded at $25.00 per share for 20 consecutive
trading days. Notice of the call will be mailed to all Warrant Holders at least
30 days but no more than sixty days before the date in which the Warrants have
been called.

         Section 2.07 REDUCTION OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Board of Directors
retains the right, upon giving written notice to the Warrant Agent, to reduce
the Exercise Price or extend the Expiration Date of the Warrants.

                                   ARTICLE III

                   ADJUSTMENTS TO WARRANTS UPON CERTAIN EVENTS

         Section 3.01 SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. Except as
provided in Section 3.04, if at any time after the date of this Agreement and so
long as any Warrant is outstanding, there is a stock split, stock dividend,
subdivision, or similar distribution with respect to the Common Stock, or a
combination of the Common Stock, then, in such event, the Exercise Price shall
be adjusted in accordance with Section 3.02.

         Section 3.02 ADJUSTMENT TO EXERCISE PRICE. Immediately upon the
effective date of any event requiring adjustment pursuant to Section 3.01, the
Company shall adjust the Exercise Price then in effect (to the nearest whole
cent) as follows:

         (a) in the event such adjustment is caused by a stock split, stock
dividend, subdivision, or other similar distribution of shares of Common Stock,
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such
event shall be decreased to an amount which shall bear the same relation to the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event as the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event bears to the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event;

         (b) in the event such adjustment is caused by a combination of shares
of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on the effective date of such event shall be increased to an amount
which shall bear the same relation to the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such event as the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event bears to the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such event.

         Section 3.03 PROPORTIONATE ADJUSTMENT IN SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PER
WARRANT. Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided in
Section 3.05, upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section
3.02, each Warrant outstanding prior to such adjustment in the Exercise Price
shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price,
that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth)
obtained by (i) multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of a Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares of Common
Stock by

                                       -3-
<PAGE>
the Exercise Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Exercise Price and (ii)
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect after such
adjustment of the Exercise Price.

         Section 3.04 ADJUSTMENT FOR DE MINIMUS CHANGES. Anything in this
Article III to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required,
except as hereinafter provided in this Section 3.04, to make any adjustment of
the Exercise Price in any case in which the amount by which the then Exercise
Price would be reduced or increased would be less than one percent; provided,
however, that an adjustments which by reason of this Section 3.04 are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment.

         Section 3.05 ELECTION TO INCREASE WARRANTS INSTEAD OF SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK PER WARRANT. The Company may elect, on or after the date of any adjustment
of the Exercise Price, to adjust the number of Warrants in substitution for any
adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.03.
Each Warrant held of record immediately prior to such adjustment of the number
of Warrants shall become that number of Warrants (calculated to the nearest
hundredth) obtained by (i) multiplying the number of Warrants held of record
prior to adjustment of the number of Warrants by the Exercise Price in effect
prior to adjustment of the Exercise Price and (ii) dividing the product so
obtained by the Exercise Price in effect after adjustment of the Exercise Price.
The Company shall make an announcement of its election to adjust the number of
Warrants, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the
time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. Such record date may be the date
on which the Exercise Price is adjusted or any date thereafter, but shall be at
least 10 days later than the date of the announcement of the Company's election.
Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrants pursuant to this Section, the
Company shall, as promptly as practicable, distribute to holders of record on
such record date Warrant Certificates evidencing the additional Warrants to
which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the
option of the Company, shall distribute to such holders of record in
substitution and replacement for the Warrant Certificates held by such holders
prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the
Company, new Warrant Certificates evidencing all the Warrants to which such
holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Warrant Certificates so
distributed shall be issued, executed, and countersigned in the manner specified
in this Agreement and shall be registered in the name of the holders of record
of the Warrant Certificates on the record date specified in the public
announcement.

         Section 3.06 EFFECT ON SALE, MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. In the event of
any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification (other
than a change in par value) of the Common Stock, or of any conversion of the
Common Stock into securities of another corporation, or the consolidation of the
Company with, or the merger of the Company into, any other corporation where the
Company is not the surviving corporation or in the event of the sale of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to any other
corporation (each such event hereinafter being referred to as a "Capital
Change"), each Warrant shall be exercisable after such Capital Change, upon the
terms and conditions specified in this Agreement, for the amount of shares of
stock or other securities, property, or cash of the Company, or of the
corporation into which shares of Common Stock are converted or resulting from
such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such sale shall be made,
as the case may be, to which the shares of Common Stock issuable (at the time of
such Capital Change)upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled if
such shares had been outstanding at the relevant record date for participating
in such Capital Change. In any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth
in this Article III with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the
holders of the Warrants shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be reasonably
applicable to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter
deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants.

                                       -4-
<PAGE>
         The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock shall not
be deemed to be a reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company for the
purpose of this Section. The Company shall not effect any consolidation, merger
or sale resulting in a Capital Change, unless prior to or simultaneously with
the consummation thereof, any successor corporation or corporation purchasing
such assets shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the
Warrant Agent, the obligation to deliver to the holder of each Warrant any such
shares of stock, securities, or assets as the Warrant Holders may be entitled to
receive upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, and the other obligations of the Company under this Warrant
Agreement.

         Section 3.07 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the Exercise Price is
adjusted as provided in this Warrant Agreement:

         (a) the Company shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price and the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant and shall
prepare a notice signed by its Treasurer or Secretary setting forth the adjusted
Exercise Price and the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of a Warrant or the number of Warrants into which each outstanding
Warrant will be changed, if applicable. Such notice shall show in reasonable
detail the facts (and computations) upon which such adjustments are based and
shall be delivered promptly to the Warrant Agent pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.07; and

         (b) the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Warrant Holder in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6.07 a notice stating that the
Exercise Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price
and the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
a Warrant or the number of Warrants into which each outstanding Warrant will be
changed, if applicable.

         Section 3.08 NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. In the event that any time after
the date of this Agreement:

         (a) the Company shall adopt a dividend policy, change a previously
adopted dividend policy, or declare a dividend in the absence of, or in conflict
with, a dividend policy or declare any distribution with respect to the Common
Stock; or

         (b) the Company shall offer for subscription to the holders of the
Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or any other securities
convertible into Common Stock or any rights to subscribe thereto; or

         (c) the Company shall declare any stock split, stock dividend,
subdivision, combination, or similar distribution with respect to the Common
Stock, regardless of the effect of any such event on the outstanding number of
shares of Common Stock; or

         (d) there shall be any Capital Change in the Company or any merger of
the Company with another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in
which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result
in any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant); or

         (e) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation,
or winding up on the Company;

                                       -5-
<PAGE>
(each such event hereinafter being referred to as "Notification Event"), the
Company shall cause to be mailed to each Warrant Holder, not later than the
earlier of the date public announcement of the Notification Event is first made
or the date 20 days prior to the record date, if any, in connection with such
Notification Event, written notice specifying the nature of such event and the
effective date of, or the date on which the books of the Company shall close or
a record shall be taken with respect to, such event. Such notice shall also set
forth facts indicating the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may
be known at the date of such notice) on the Exercise Price and the kind and
amount of the shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon
exercise of the Warrants. The failure to give the notice required by this
Section 3.08 shall not affect the legality or validity of any such Notification
Event.

         Section 3.09 EFFECT OF ADJUSTMENT ON WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Except as
provided in Section 3.05, the form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed
because of any change in the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant, or the number of Warrants
outstanding pursuant to this Article, and, subject to Section 3.05, Warrant
Certificates issued before or after such change may state the same Exercise
Price, the same number of Warrants, and the same number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants as are stated in the Warrant
Certificates theretofore issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company may,
however, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of
Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the
substance therefor, and any Warrant Certificates thereafter issued or
countersigned, whether in exchange or substituted for an outstanding Warrant
Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

         Section 3.10 WARRANT AGENT NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ADJUSTMENT. The Warrant
Agent shall have the right, but shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any Warrant Holder, to determine whether such facts exist
which may require any adjustment in the Exercise Price of, or the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of, the Warrants or to make inquiry or take
other action with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustments, when
made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Warrant
Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value or the kind
or amount of any shares of Common Stock or of any securities or property which
may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant, and
makes no representation with respect thereto.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                            RIGHTS OF WARRANT HOLDERS

         Section 4.01 NO RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS. No Warrant Holder, as such,
shall be entitled to vote or to receive dividends or shall otherwise be deemed
to be the holder of shares of Common Stock for any purpose, nor shall anything
contained herein or in any Warrant Certificate be construed to confer upon any
Warrant Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or
any right to vote upon or give or withhold consent to any action of the Company
(whether upon any reorganization, issuance of securities, reclassification or
conversion of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, release, conveyance, or
otherwise), receive notice of meetings or other action affecting stockholders
(except for notices expressly provided for in this Agreement) or receive
dividends or subscription rights, until such Warrant Certificate shall have been
surrendered for exercise accompanied by full and proper payment of the Exercise
Price as provided in this Agreement and shares of Common Stock thereunder shall
have become issuable and until such person shall have been deemed to have become
a holder of record of such shares. If, the date of surrender of such Warrant
Certificate and payment of such Exercise Price, the transfer books for the
Common Stock shall be closed, certificates for the shares of Common Stock shall
be issuable on the date on which

                                       -6-
<PAGE>
such books shall next be open (whether before, on, or after the Expiration Date)
and until such date, the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any
certificate for such shares of Common Stock. No Warrant Holder shall, upon the
exercise of Warrants, be entitled to any dividends if the record date with
respect to payment of such dividends shall be a date prior to the date such
shares of Common Stock became issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants.

         Section 4.02 LOST WARRANTS. If any Warrant Certificate is lost, stolen,
mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may, upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft,
mutilation, or destruction and on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the
Company and the case of a mutilated Warrant Certificate, include the surrender
thereof), issue a new Warrant Certificate of like denomination and tenor as the
lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Certificate. Applicants for such
substitute Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and pay any such reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant
Agent may prescribe. In the event any Warrant Certificate is lost, stolen,
mutilated, or destroyed, and the owner thereof desires to exercise the Warrants
evidenced thereby, the Company may, in lieu of issuing a substitute Warrant
Certificate, exercise or authorize the exercise thereof upon receipt of the
above evidence and on such terms of indemnity as it may require.

         Section 4.03 MAINTENANCE OF SUFFICIENT AND PROPER SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK.

         (a) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number
of authorized shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit the exercise in full
of all outstanding Warrants and will cause to be available to the Warrant Agent
a sufficient number of certificates therefor.

         (b) Prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of Warrants, the Company shall use its best efforts to secure the
listing of such shares of Common Stock upon any and all such securities
exchanges.

         (c) If at any time the taking of any action would cause an adjustment
in the Exercise Price so that the exercise of a Warrant while such Exercise
Price is in effect would cause a share of Common Stock to be issued at a price
below its then par value, the Company shall take such action as may, in the
opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that it may validly and legally
issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
the Warrants at such Exercise Price.

         (d) Subject to the restrictions on transfer referred to in Section
4.06, if any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants
require registration or approval of any governmental authority, or the taking of
any other action under the laws of the United States or any political
subdivision thereof or any other jurisdiction before such shares of Common Stock
may be legally and validly issued, then the Company shall in good faith and with
reasonable diligence endeavor to secure such registration or approval or to take
such other actions as may be appropriate to allow for the lawful issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, provided that no shares of
Common Stock shall be issued for the period during which the Company is
endeavoring to obtain such registration or approval or is taking such other
action. Warrant Holders may exercise Warrants during any such period as provided
herein and shall be entitled to the issuance of the shares of Common Stock on
such date as the shares of Common Stock may be legally and validly issued, at
the Exercise Price and upon the other conditions in effect on the date of
surrender of the Warrant Certificates accompanied by full and proper payment for
the shares of Common Stock.

<PAGE>
         Section 4.04      FRACTIONAL SHARES AND WARRANTS.

         (a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock
in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised in
such number as would result (except for the provisions of this Section) in the
issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, unless the Warrant Holder is
presenting for exercise Warrant Certificates representing all Warrants then
owned of record by such Warrant Holder. In such event, the Company shall, upon
the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to such Warrant Holder the largest
aggregate whole number of shares of Common Stock called for thereby upon receipt
of the Exercise Price for all of such Warrants and pay a sum in cash equal to
the remaining fraction of a share of Common Stock, multiplied by its fair market
value as of the first business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are
presented for exercise. Such fair market value shall be (1) the average of the
high and low bid prices of the Common Stock, as reported by the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System on such date, or
(2) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national securities exchange or the
national market system of the over-the-counter market, the closing price of the
Common Stock on such exchange on such date. Every Warrant Holder, by the
acceptance of the Warrant Certificate, expressly waives any right to exercise
Warrants for a fractional share of Common Stock except as provided in this
subsection.

         (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall
not be required to issue fractions of Warrants on any distribution of Warrants
to Warrant Holders or to distribute Warrant Certificates that evidence
fractional Warrants nor shall the Company be required to make any cash
adjustment with respect to a fractional interest in a Warrant. Any person
entitled to a fractional interest in a Warrant may elect, during such period of
time (not in excess of 90 days) from the date such fractional interest is
acquired, as the Company shall determine, to purchase the additional fractional
interest required to make up a full Warrant or to sell the fractional interest
to which such person is entitled. Such election shall be made on the form
provided for such purpose by the Company. If such election is not made in the
time prescribed by the Company, the fractional interest to which such person is
entitled shall be sold. Such purchase or sale shall be effected in the manner
set forth in subsection (c) of this Section by the Warrant Agent, acting as
agent for the person entitled to such fractional interest.

         (c) The Warrant Agent shall bill each person entitled to a fractional
interest in Warrants for the cost of any such fractional interest purchased by
it as agent for such person or shall remit to such person the proceeds of the
sale of any such fractional interest sold by it as such agent. In the case of a
purchase, the Warrant Agent may sell the Warrant to which such person is
entitled if payment is not received by the Warrant Agent within 30 days after
the mailing of such bill and, after deducting the amount of such bill and any
other charges, shall remit the balance, if any, to such person. Fractional
interests in Warrants shall be nontransferable except by or to the Warrant Agent
acting as herein authorized. The Warrant Agent may purchase or sell fractional
interests on the basis of market prices of the Warrants, as determined by the
Warrant Agent in its sole discretion, and such Agent is expressly authorized to
value fractional interests without actual purchase or sale on the basis of the
market price of the Warrants as determined by it in its sole discretion.
Purchase and sales of fractional interests by the Warrant Agent may, in its sole
discretion, be set of against each other on the basis of market prices of the
Warrants, as determined by the Warrant Agent in its sole discretion.

         Section 4.05 REGISTERED HOLDER AS OWNER. Every holder of a Warrant
Certificate, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the Company, the
Warrant Agent, and every subsequent holder of such Warrant Certificate that
until the Warrant Certificate is transferred on the books of the Warrant Agent,
the

                                       -8-
<PAGE>
Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the registered Warrant Holder as the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.

         Section 4.06 EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF WARRANTS. Warrant Certificates
may be split-up, combined, or exchanged at any time for other Warrant
Certificates evidencing a like aggregate whole number of Warrants and may be
transferred in whole or in part. Any Warrant Holder desiring to split-up,
combine, or exchange Warrant Certificates shall make such request in writing
delivered to the Warrant Agent as provided by Section 6.07 and shall surrender
therewith the Warrant Certificate or Certificates to be so split-up, combined,
or exchanged. Subject to the restrictions on transfer of the Warrants contained
in the Registration Statement, transfers of outstanding Warrant Certificates may
be effected by the Warrant Agent, from time to time, upon the books to be
maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose, upon surrender of the Warrant
Certificates to the Warrant Agent as provided by Section 6.07, which
Certificates must be properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments
of transfer and written instructions for transfer, all in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Warrant Agent. Upon any such surrender for a split-up,
combination, exchange, or transfer, the Warrant Agent shall countersign and
deliver to the person entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates as so requested. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect
any transfer, split-up, or exchange that will result in the issuance of a
Warrant Certificate evidencing other than a whole number of Warrants.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                THE WARRANT AGENT

         Section 5.01 RESIGNATION, REMOVAL, AND SUCCESSION. The Warrant Agent
may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement after giving
60 days prior written notice to the Company and the Warrant Holder as provided
by Section 6.07, except that such shorter notice as the Company shall accept in
writing, may be given. The Warrant Agent may be removed by the Company by like
notice to the Warrant Agent. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant
by resignation, removal, incapacity to act, or otherwise, the Company shall
appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If
the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 60 days after
it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the
resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent or within 60 days after the Warrant
Agent has been removed by the Company, then any Warrant Holder may apply to any
court of a competent jurisdiction for t he appointment of a successor Warrant
Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such
a court, shall be a corporation organized, in good standing, and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, and authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state authority and having a combined capital and
surplus of not less than $1,000,000. After appointment, any successor Warrant
Agent shall be vested with all authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties,
and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if
originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed;
provided, however, that if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate,
the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Warrant Agent with authority, powers, and rights
of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder and any property held by it
hereunder; and, provided further, upon request of any successor Warrant Agent,
the Company shall make, execute, acknowledged, and deliver any and all written
instruments in order more fully and effectually to vest in and confirm to such
successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties,
and obligations. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section

                                       -9-
<PAGE>
or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the
resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor
Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

         Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation succeeding to substantially all
the business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under
this Agreement without any further act.

         Section 5.02 ADDITIONAL WARRANT AGENTS. The Company may designate one
or more corporations satisfying the qualifications for a successor Warrant Agent
as set forth in Section 5.01 as additional Warrant Agents to perform, either
jointly or in place of the Warrant Agent, such functions as may be specified in
written notice of such designation filed with the Warrant Agent, which notice
shall include acceptance by such additional Warrant Agent(s) of such functions.

         Section 5.03 COMPENSATION. The Company agrees (a) that it will pay the
Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as Warrant Agent
hereunder and will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures
(including reasonable counsel fees) that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur
in the execution of its duties hereunder; and (b) that it will perform or cause
to be performed such further acts and execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause
to be executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further instruments and
assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the execution
or performance of the provisions of this Agreement.

         Section 5.04      RESPONSIBILITY AND INDEMNITY.

         (a) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept
instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the
President, any Vice President, or the Treasurer of the Company, and to apply to
such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties.

         (b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the
Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be
proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action
hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect hereof be
herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by a statement signed by the President, any Vice President, or the
Treasurer of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent, and such statement
shall be full warranty to the Warrant Agent for any action taken or suffered in
good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such
statement. In its discretion, the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof accept other
evidence of such fact or matter or may require such further or additional
evidence as it may deem reasonable.

         (c) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for (i) the validity or
execution of any Warrant Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); (ii)
any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this
Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; (iii) any change in the Exercise Price
required under the provisions of Article III, the manner, the method, or amount
of any such change, or ascertaining the existence of facts that would require
any such change. No act of the Warrant Agent hereunder shall be deemed to be a
representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares
of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant
Certificate or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will, when issued, be
validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
         (d) The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the
Company or to any Warrant Holder for any action taken in reliance on any notice,
resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document, or
instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or
presented by the proper party or parties.

         (e) The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it
harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs, and
reasonable attorney fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in
the execution of this Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent's
negligence or willful misconduct.

         (f) The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any
action, suit, or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve
expense unless the Company or one or more Warrant Holders shall furnish the
Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses
that may be so incurred. This provision shall not affect the power of the
Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper, with
or without any such security or indemnity.

         Section 5.05 DEALING FOR OWN ACCOUNT. The Warrant Agent and any
stockholder, director, officer, or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell,
or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or acquire a
pecuniary interest in any transaction in which the Company may be involved, or
contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely
as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall
preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company
(including acting as the Company's registrar and transfer agent) or for any
other entity.

         Section 5.06 ACCOUNTING TO COMPANY. The Warrant Agent shall account
promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay
to the Company all moneys received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Warrants. The Warrant Agent
shall, upon request of the Company from time to time, deliver to the Company
such complete reports of registered ownership of the Warrants and such complete
records of transactions with respect to the Warrants and the shares of Common
Stock as the Company may request. The Warrant Agent shall also make available to
the Company for inspection by the Company's agents or employees, from time to
time as the Company may request, such original books of accounts and records
maintained by the Warrant Agent in connection with the issuance and exercise of
Warrants hereunder, such inspections to occur at the Warrant Agent's office as
specified in Section 6.07, during normal business hours.

            Pipeline Valve Specialty ("PVS"), Industrial Municipal Supply
            Company ("IMSCO") and Manifold Valve Service ("MVS"), acquired March

            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

            QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31,
            1996.

            SALES. On a consolidated basis, sales increased $5,289,340 or 44%
            for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to the quarter ended
            March 31, 1996. This increase was primarily the result of the
            acquisitions of Lone Star in February 1997 and American in November
            1996.

            COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased $3,298,598 or 35% for the
            quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to the quarter ended March 31,
            1996, primarily as a result of the increase in sales described in
            the preceding paragraph.

            SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
            administrative expenses increased $1,451,425 or 77% for the quarter
            ended March 31, 1997 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
            This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Lone
            Star and American. Selling, general and administrative expenses
            increased a greater percentage than sales primarily as a result of
            amortization of goodwill related to the acquisitions of Lone Star
            and American.

            INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $86,037 or 25% for the
            quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to the quarter ended March 31,
            1996 primarily as a result of debt incurred in the acquisitions of
            Lone Star and American.

            INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 39% for the
            quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to 34% for the quarter ended
            March 31, 1996.

            TOTAL ASSETS. Total assets were $57,852,695 at March 31, 1997
            compared to $43,689,523 at December 31, 1996. This increase was
            primarily attributable to an increase in goodwill, accounts
            receivable, and property and equipment as a result of the
            acquisitions of Lone Star and MVS.

                                        5
<PAGE>
            TOTAL LIABILITIES. Total liabilities were $33,126,538 at March 31,
            1997 compared to $27,135,076 at December 31, 1996. This increase was
            primarily attributable to an increase in trade accounts payable,
            notes payable, and long term debt as a result of the acquisitions of
            Lone Star and MVS.

            LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. At March 31, 1997, the Company had
            cash of $835,009 and additional borrowing capacity under its line of
            credit of $1,538,425. The Company's operations provided cash of
            $356,829 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to using
            cash of $987,489 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996. This
            change is due to a significant increase in accounts receivable for
            the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as a result of the acquisition of
            CRivet. CRivet was acquired in December 1995. Accounts receivable
            were not purchased by the Company as part of the acquisition. At
            March 31, 1996, CRivet's accounts receivables balance was
            $1,602,009, a $970,152 increase from December 31, 1995.

            Investing activities used cash of $2,359,128 for the quarter ended
            March 31, 1997 compared to $226,280 for the quarter ended March 31,
            1996. This increased use of cash was attributable to the acquisition
            of Lone Star and increased capital expenditures in the first quarter
            of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996. Capital expenditures
            for property and equipment increased 266% for the quarter ended
            March 31, 1997 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996
            primarily as a result of the purchase of new equipment and leasehold
            improvements for the Company's fastener manufacturing operations.

            Financing activities used cash of $250,617 for the quarter ended
            March 31, 1997 compared to providing cash of $999,897 for the
            quarter ended March 31, 1996. This change is due to a decrease in
            net borrowings in the current quarter.

            At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $645,455,
            long-term debt of $7,210,227 and shareholders' equity of
            $24,726,157. The Company anticipates that its operating cash needs
            for fiscal 1997 can be met with cash generated from operations,
            borrowings under its credit facilities with Comerica Bank-Texas, and
            private placements of debt securities. However, any acquisition of
            companies in connection with the Company's acquisition strategy will
            require additional financing, which likely would include a
            combination of debt and equity financing.

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings.

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

                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
               Results of Operations.

               The financial information in the following discussion of
               Industrial Holdings, Inc. (including its subsidiaries, the
               "Company"), includes the operating results of Industrial
               Holdings, Inc. ("IHI") and its subsidiaries. The Company's
               business is organized into two divisions: the Fastener
               Manufacturing and Sales Division, comprised of Landreth
               Engineering Company ("Landreth"), Connecticut Rivet ("CRivet"),
               American Rivet Company ("American"), acquired November 1996, and
               LSS-Lone Star - Houston, Inc. ("Lone Star"), acquired February
               1997, and the Energy Products and Services Division comprised of
               the Valve and Supplies Sales Group which includes Pipeline Valve
               Specialty ("PVS"), Industrial Municipal Supply Company ("IMSCO")
               and Manifold Valve Service ("MVS"), acquired March 1997; the New
               Machine Sales and Services Group which includes Regal Machine
               Tools ("Regal") and Rex Machinery Movers ("RMM"); the Export
               Crating Group which includes U.S. Crating ("USC"); and the Used
               Machine Sales Group which includes Rex/Paul's Machine Sales
               ("RPMS"). Regal, RMM, USC and RPMS comprise the Rex Group
               ("Rex").

               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30,
               1996.

               SALES. On a consolidated basis, sales increased $7,671,481 or 56%
               for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to the quarter ended
               June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily the result of the
               acquisitions of MVS, Lone Star and American (the "Acquisitions").
               The increase attributable to the Acquisitions was partially
               offset by a $2.0 million decrease in sales at IMSCO as the result
               of the loss of key salesmen at that subsidiary.

               COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased $5,229,063 or 48% for the
               quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to the quarter ended June
               30, 1996, primarily as a result of the increase in sales
               described in the preceding paragraph. Gross margins increased to
               25% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 from 21% for the quarter
               ended June 30, 1996, as the lower margin sales at IMSCO were
               replaced by higher margin sales at Lone Star, American and MVS.

               SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general
               and administrative expenses increased $1,405,287 or 70% for the
               quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to the quarter ended June
               30, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to the
               Acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses
               increased a greater percentage than sales primarily as a result
               of amortization of goodwill related to the Acquisitions.

               INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $120,382 or 37% for
               the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to the quarter ended
               June 30, 1996, primarily as a result of debt incurred in the
               Acquisitions.

                                        6

               INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 42% for the
               quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to 34% for the quarter ended
               June 30, 1996. The higher effective tax rate is attributable to
               the inclusion of non-deductible amortization of goodwill as a
               result of the Acquisitions.

               SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED
               JUNE 30, 1996.

               SALES. Sales increased $12,960,819 or 51% for the six months
               ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended June 30,
               1996. This increase was primarily attributable to the
               Acquisitions, which was partially offset by a $3.8 million
               decrease in sales at IMSCO as the result of the loss of key
               salesmen at that subsidiary.

               COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased $8,527,661 or 42% for the
               six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended
               June 30, 1996, primarily as a result of the increase in sales
               described in the preceding paragraph. Gross margins increased to
               25% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 21% for the six
               months ended June 30, 1996 as the lower margin sales at IMSCO
               were replaced by higher margin sales at American, Lone Star and
               PVS.

               SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general
               and administrative expenses increased $2,856,707 or 73% for the
               six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended
               June 30, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses
               increased a greater percentage than sales primarily as a result
               of amortization of goodwill related to the Acquisitions.

               INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $206,420 or 30% for
               the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months
               ended June 30, 1997 primarily as a result of debt incurred in the
               Acquisitions.

               INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 41% for the
               six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 34% for the six months
               ended June 30, 1996. The increase in the effective tax rate for
               the six months ended June 30, 1997 is attributable to the
               inclusion of non-deductible amortization of goodwill as a result
               of the Acquisitions.

               TOTAL ASSETS. Total assets were $58,159,565 at June 30, 1997
               compared to $43,689,523 at December 31, 1996. This increase was
               primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Lone Star and MVS.

               TOTAL LIABILITIES. Total liabilities were $29,167,485 at June 30,
               1997 compared to $27,135,076 at December 31, 1996. This increase
               was primarily attributableto an increase in trade accounts
               payable, notes payable, and long term debt as a result of the
               acquisitions of Lone Star and MVS which was partially offset by
               the conversion of 2,847,385 of debt to equity.

               LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. At June 30, 1997, the Company
               had cash of $1,005,819 and additional borrowing capacity under
               its line of credit of $2,020,748. The Company's operations
               provided cash of $548,670 during the six months ended June 30,
               1997 compared to using cash of $323,481 during the six months
               ended June 30, 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the
               Company's operations provided cash because the Company's net
               income and

                                        7

               depreciation and amortization were not entirely offset by an
               increase in accounts receivable and decrease in accounts payable
               and accrued expenses. Accounts receivable increased during that
               period primarily because of increases in sales at PVS, MVS and
               Lone Star and accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased
               primarily because of a reduction in liabilities at IMSCO. For the
               six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's operations used
               cash because of an increase in accounts receivable as a result of
               the acquisition of CRivet. Accounts receivable were not purchased
               by the Company as part of the acquisition. At June 30, 1996,
               CRivet's accounts receivables balance was $1,602,009, a $970,152
               increase from December 31, 1995.

               Investing activities used cash of $2,630,740 for the six months
               ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1,051,063 for the six months
               ended June 30, 1996. This increased use of cash was attributable
               to the acquisition of Lone Star and MVS.

               Financing activities used cash of $38 for the six months ended
               June 30, 1997 compared to providing cash of $1,190,907 for the
               six months ended June 30, 1996. This change is due to the
               repayment of short term borrowings in the six month period ended
               June 30, 1997.

               At June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $6,187,999,
               long-term debt of $7,852,716 and shareholders' equity of
               $28,992,080. The Company anticipates that its operating cash
               needs for fiscal 1997 can be met with cash generated from
               operations, borrowings under its credit facilities with Comerica
               Bank-Texas, and private placements of securities. However, any
               acquisition of companies in connection with the Company's
               acquisition strategy will require additional financing, which
               likely would include a combination of debt and equity financing.

           condition or results of operations.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

NOTE A    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
          prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
          for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
          10-Q 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. In
          the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
          recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have
          been included. These financial statements include the accounts of
          Industrial Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). All
          significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in
          consolidation. Operating results for the nine months ended September
          30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
          expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. For further
          information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
          footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
          for the year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE B    INVENTORY

          Inventory consists of the following:

NOTE C    RECLASSIFICATION

          Certain amounts have been reclassified from previous periods to
          conform to the current presentation.

NOTE D    ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

          Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting of Stock-based Compensation"
          ("SFAS No. 123"), and elected to continue to follow Accounting
          Principles Board Opinion No. 25 to measure employee stock compensation
          cost. Had compensation expense been determined using the fair value
          method of accounting as set forth in SFAS No. 123, net income and
          earnings per share would have been $1,684,853 and $.25 and $624,702
          and $.08 for the nine months and three months ended September 30,
          1997, respectively.

                                      5

          In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
          Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). This new standard requires dual presentation
          of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the
          earnings statement and requires a reconciliation of the numerators and
          denominators of basic and diluted EPS calculations. This statement
          will be effective for both interim and annual periods ending after
          December 15, 1997. The Company's current EPS calculation conforms to
          basic EPS. Diluted EPS as defined by SFAS No. 128 is not expected to
          be materially different from basic EPS.

          Recently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
          Income," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
          "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
          These statements, which are effective for the Company's fiscal year
          ending December 31, 1998, establish additional disclosure requirements
          but do not affect the measurement of results of operation. Management
          is evaluating what, if any, additional disclosures may be required
          when these statements are implemented.

NOTE E    NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG TERM DEBT

          In June 1997, St. James Capital Partners, L.P. ("St. James") converted
          at a conversion price of $10 per share, a $1,900,000, 12% note payable
          (the "St. James Note") together with $133,000 in accrued interest into
          203,300 shares of common stock. The St. James Note was entered into in
          November 1996 to fund a portion of the purchase price of American
          Rivet Company, Inc.

          In the second and third quarters of 1997, Renaissance Capital Partners
          II Ltd. ("Renaissance") converted the $1,060,000 outstanding principal
          balance of its 12% convertible debenture (the "Renaissance Debenture")
          into 325,154 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.26 per
          share. The Renaissance Debenture was entered into in 1992 to fund a
          portion of the purchase price of Landreth Engineering Company.

NOTE F    ACQUISITIONS

          In February 1997, the Company acquired LSS-Lone Star-Houston, Inc.
          ("Lone Star") and in March 1997, the Company acquired Manifold Valve
          Service, Inc. ("MVS"). The aggregate purchase price of the
          acquisitions was $10.1 million cash and assumed liabilities plus
          684,211 shares of common stock valued at $6.6 million. The final
          purchase price allocation is subject to certain adjustments relating
          to the appraised value of assets and to certain other accruals. The
          acquisitions were accounted for as purchases. The aggregate excess of
          cost over net assets acquired of $7.5 million is being amortized over
          20 years. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have
          been included in the consolidated financial statements from the
          respective acquisition dates. Additionally, the 600,000 shares of
          common stock issued in connection with the acquisition of MVS include
          a put redemption option at $10 per share through August 1999.

                                      6

          Lone Star is a leading manufacturer and distributor of fasteners to
          the petrochemical and energy industries, and is a specialty provider
          of custom in-house coating services. Its 53,000 square foot
          manufacturing facility is located in Spring, Texas. MVS, operating
          from a 25,000 square foot leased manufacturing facility in Jennings,
          Louisiana, sells and repairs high pressure valves that are used
          primarily in oil and gas drilling applications.

          On a proforma unaudited basis, as if these acquisitions had occurred
          as of January 1, 1997, sales, net income and earnings per share for
          the nine months ended September 30, 1997 would have been $61,404,306,
          $2,233,128 and $.32.

NOTE G    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

          In November 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
          Bolt Manufacturing Co., Inc. ("Bolt") for $6.2 million cash (the "Bolt
          Acquisition"). The purchase price was funded through an increase in
          the Company's demand note and line of credit payable to Comerica
          Bank-Texas ("Demand Note") to be secured by the inventory and
          receivables of the Company and a 8.16% term note ("Term Note") secured
          by the equipment of the Company.

          Bolt, located in Houston, Texas manufactures and distributes specialty
          bolts and nuts to the petrochemical and energy industries through the
          United States and Canada. Net sales of Bolt were $6,452,216 for its
          fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 and $5,419,698 for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1997. Bolt will operate within the Fastener
          Manufacturing and Sales Division.

                             FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations.

          The financial information in the following discussion of Industrial
          Holdings, Inc. (including its subsidiaries, the "Company"), includes
          the operating results of Industrial Holdings, Inc. ("IHI") and its
          subsidiaries. The Company's business is organized into two divisions:
          the Fastener Manufacturing and Sales Division, comprised of Landreth
          Engineering Company ("Landreth"), Connecticut Rivet ("CRivet"),
          American Rivet Company ("American"), acquired November 1996, and
          LSS-Lone Star - Houston, Inc. ("Lone Star"), acquired February 1997,
          and the Energy Products and Services Division comprised of the Valve
          and Supplies Sales Group which includes Pipeline Valve Specialty
          ("PVS"), Industrial Municipal Supply Company ("IMSCO") and Manifold
          Valve Service ("MVS"), acquired March 1997; the New Machine Sales and
          Services Group which includes Regal Machine Tools ("Regal") and Rex
          Machinery Movers ("RMM"); the Export Crating Group which includes U.S.
          Crating ("USC"); and the Used Machine Sales Group which includes
          Rex/Paul's Machine Sales ("RPMS"). Regal, RMM, USC and RPMS comprise
          the Rex Group ("Rex").

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED
          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996.

          SALES. On a consolidated basis, sales increased $8,183,792 or 63.6%
          for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three
          months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily the
          result of the acquisitions of MVS, Lone Star and American (the
          "Acquisitions").

          COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased $5,990,905 or 58.9% for the
          three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three months
          ended September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of the increase in
          sales described in the preceding paragraph. Gross margins increased to
          23% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 21% for the
          three months ended September 30, 1996, as the lower margin sales at
          IMSCO were replaced by higher margin sales at Lone Star, American and
          MVS.

          SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
          administrative expenses increased $1,562,911 or 73.8% for the three
          months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended
          September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to the
          Acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased a
          greater percentage than sales increased primarily as a result of
          amortization of goodwill related to the Acquisitions.

          INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $114,353 or 40.5% for the
          three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three months
          ended September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of debt incurred to
          fund the Acquisitions.

                                      8
<PAGE>
          OTHER INCOME. Other income for the three months ended September 30,
          1997, includes a gain of $230,000 attributable to insurance proceeds
          in excess of the net book value of equipment destroyed in a building
          fire.

          INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 39% for the three
          months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 38% for the three months
          ended September 30, 1996. The higher effective tax rate is
          attributable to the inclusion of non-deductible amortization of
          goodwill as a result of the Acquisitions.

          NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED
          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996.

          SALES. Sales increased $21,144,611 or 54.9% for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended September 30,
          1996. This increase was primarily attributable to the Acquisitions,
          which was partially offset by a $4.4 million decrease in sales at
          IMSCO as the result of the loss of key salesmen at that subsidiary.

          COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased $14,518,566 or 47.7% for the
          nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended
          September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of the increase in sales
          described in the preceding paragraph. Gross margins increased to 25%
          for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 21% for the nine
          months ended September 30, 1996 as the lower margin sales at IMSCO
          were replaced by higher margin sales at American, Lone Star and PVS.

          SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
          administrative expenses increased $4,419,619 or 73.4% for the nine
          months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended
          September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to the
          Acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased a
          greater percentage than sales increased primarily as a result of
          amortization of goodwill related to the Acquisitions.

          INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $320,772 or 33.4% for the
          nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended
          September 30, 1997 primarily as a result of debt incurred to fund the
          Acquisitions.

          OTHER INCOME. Other income for the nine months ended September 30,
          1997, includes a gain of $230,000 attributable to insurance proceeds
          in excess of the net book value of equipment destroyed in a building
          fire.

          INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 40% for the nine
          months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 35% for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1996. The increase in the effective tax rate for
          the nine months ended September 30, 1997 is primarily attributable to
          the inclusion of non-deductible amortization of goodwill as a result
          of the Acquisitions.

          TOTAL ASSETS. Total assets were $59,815,079 at September 30, 1997
          compared to $43,689,523 at December 31, 1996. This increase was
          primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Lone Star and MVS.

                                      9
<PAGE>
          TOTAL LIABILITIES. Total liabilities were $29,945,673 at September 30,
          1997 compared to $27,135,076 at December 31, 1996. This increase was
          primarily attributable to an increase in trade accounts payable, notes
          payable, and long term debt as a result of the acquisitions of Lone
          Star and MVS which was partially offset by the conversion of
          $3,093,000 of debt to equity.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. At September 30, 1997, the Company
          had cash of $216,465 and additional borrowing capacity under its line
          of credit of $2,302,957. The Company's operations provided cash of
          $683,399 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to
          $384,592 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This 78%
          increase was primarily attributable to increased net income and
          depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30,
          1997 compared to the same period in 1996 which was partially offset by
          increases in working capital.

          Investing activities used cash of $3,288,230 for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1997 compared to $1,851,665 for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1996. This increased use of cash was primarily
          attributable to the acquisition of Lone Star and MVS.

          Financing activities used cash of $266,629 for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1997 compared to providing cash of $2,169,734 for the
          nine months ended September 30, 1996. This change is due to the
          repayment of short term and long term borrowings in the nine month
          period ended September 30, 1997.

          At September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $5,078,171,
          long-term debt of $6,045,388 and shareholders' equity of $23,869,406.
          The Company anticipates that its operating cash needs for fiscal 1997
          can be met with cash generated from operations, borrowings under its
          credit facilities with Comerica Bank-Texas, and private placements of
          securities. However, any acquisition of companies in connection with
          the Company's acquisition strategy will require additional financing,
          which likely would include a combination of debt and equity financing.

                               OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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

Item 5. Other Information.

        In October 1997, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-2
        in which the Company offers to the holders of its 1,254,414 outstanding
        Class B Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("Class B Warrants")
        the opportunity to exchange each Class B Warrant and $10 cash for one
        share of Common Stock, one Class C Warrant and one newly created Class D
        Warrant with an exercise price of $22.50 per share. The exchange offer
        will commence upon effectiveness of the registration statement which is
        subject to review by the SEC. The Company anticipates that it will use
        the majority of the estimated $12,400,000 net proceeds from the exercise
        of the Class B Warrants to repay a portion of the Company's Demand Note
        and Term Note.

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

      Industrial Holdings, Inc. (including its subsidiaries, the "Company") was
incorporated in August 1989. The Company's principal executive offices are
located at 7135 Ardmore, Houston, Texas 77054, and its telephone number is (713)
747-1025.

      The Company's business is organized into two divisions: the Fastener
Manufacturing and Sales Division, comprised of Landreth Engineering Company
("Landreth"), Connecticut Rivet ("CRivet"), acquired December 1995, American
Rivet Company, Inc. ("American"), acquired November 1996 and LSS-Lone Star-
Houston, Inc. ("Lone Star") acquired February 1997 (see recent developments) and
the Energy Products and Services Division comprised of the Valve and Supplies
Sales Group which includes Pipeline Valve Specialty ("PVS"), Industrial
Municipal Supply ("IMSCO"), and Manifold Valve Services, Inc. ("MVS") acquired
March 1997 (see recent developments); the New Machine Sales and Services Group
which includes Regal Machine Tools ("Regal") and Rex Machinery Movers ("RMM");
the Export Crating Group which includes U.S. Crating ("USC"); and the Used
Machine Sales Group which includes Rex/Paul's Machine Sales ("RPMS").

      The Fastener Manufacturing and Sales Division manufactures industrial
metal fasteners, including special cold-formed fasteners and threaded fastener
products for sale primarily to manufacturers in the furniture, home appliance
and automotive industries and to the petrochemical and energy industries. The
Valve and Supplies Sales Group remanufactures pipeline valves and distributes
pipe, valves, fittings and other products primarily to the petrochemical,
chemical and petroleum refining industries and to the pipeline transportation
and product storage industries. The New Machine Sales and Services Group sells
new machine tools and conducts a machine moving operation. The Export Crating
Group provides international export crating services. The Used Machine Sales
Group sells used machine tools.

      For information concerning each of the Company's industry segments, see
Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

STRATEGY

      The Company's strategy is to identify and pursue acquisitions within the
lines of business in which the Company currently operates. The Company believes
that it is a leading manufacturer of semi-tubular rivets and cold-headed
specials. The Company's pro forma revenues for its Fastener Manufacturing and
Sales Division (excluding Lone Star) for the twelve months ended December 31,
1996 are approximately $30,222,000. The Company's growth strategy includes an
emphasis on the continued acquisition of fastener manufacturing companies with a
particular emphasis on expansion into new customer bases and geographical
markets.

      Since its inception, the Company has expanded its business through
acquisition. PVS was acquired in connection with the Company's initial public
offering in January 1992. Landreth was acquired in October 1992. The companies
comprising the New Machine Sales and Services Group, the Export Crating Group
and

                                        1
<PAGE>
the Used Machine Sales Group were acquired as part of The Rex Group, Inc.
("REX") in 1993. In December, 1995, CRivet was acquired; in November 1996,
American was acquired; in February 1997, Lone Star was acquired and, most
recently in March 1997, MVS was acquired. The Company has financed these
acquisitions with cash provided by operations, borrowings under its credit
agreements and public and private financings. The Company anticipates that
future acquisitions, if any, will be similarly financed.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

      In February 1997, the Company acquired all the capital stock of Lone Star
for a purchase price of $6 million, including estimated transaction expenses.
Lone Star, with revenues of $15.5 million in 1996, is a leading manufacturer and
distributor of fasteners to the petrochemical and energy industries, and is a
specialty provider of custom in-house coating services. Its 53,000 square foot
manufacturing facility is located in Spring, Texas.

      The purchase was financed through an $800,000 Term Loan secured by the
machinery and equipment of Lone Star, a $900,000 Mortgage Note secured by the
real estate of Lone Star, a $500,000 Term Note payable to the former shareholder
of Lone Star, 84,211 shares of the Company's Common Stock, a $1.4 million
increase in the Company's line of credit facility with Comerica Bank and $1.8
million cash.

      In March 1997, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of.
MVS for 600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and a Term Note in the
amount of $442,500, payable to the selling shareholder in six monthly
installments. MVS, operating from a 25,000 square foot leased manufacturing
facility in Jennings, Louisiana, sells and repairs high pressure valves that are
used primarily in oil and gas drilling applications. MVS' revenues in 1996 were
$6.4 million, with one customer comprising 18% of its total 1996 revenues.

FASTENER MANUFACTURING AND SALES DIVISION

      PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Landreth, CRivet and American, (collectively "LEC")
manufacture industrial metal fasteners, including special cold-formed fasteners
and threaded fastener products for sale to national manufacturers primarily in
the furniture, home appliance and automotive industries. LEC manufactures these
fasteners in solid, semi-tubular, tubular or multi-dimensional form. LEC has
increasingly emphasized the manufacture of special cold-formed fasteners that
are primarily targeted to more highly-engineered applications, such as the
automotive original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") and electronic industries.
These special cold-formed fasteners can in many cases replace more expensive
machined parts. Industrial metal fasteners, or rivets, are typically constructed
of low-carbon steel and can be plated with a variety of protective coatings
through LEC's automatic plating process. LEC also uses plating services from
third party providers. These fasteners can also be made from aluminum, copper,
monel, brass or stainless steel. LEC manufactures these industrial fasteners in
a variety of sizes, with diameters ranging up to 5/8" and lengths up to 4 1/2".

      CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING. LEC's customers are primarily national
manufacturing companies in the furniture, construction, home appliance and
automotive industries. LEC sells its products to over 3,000 different
manufacturing customers, with the 10 largest customers accounting for, in the
aggregate, 38% of LEC's sales for the year ended December 31, 1996. During 1996,
no single customer accounted for over 10% of LEC's sales.

                                        2
<PAGE>
      LEC manufactures and distributes its products from its facilities in
Houston, Texas, Waterbury, Connecticut and Franklin Park, Illinois. LEC conducts
sales efforts and serves its customers by using a combination of its employees
and a national network of manufacturer's sales representatives. LEC has engaged
72 manufacturer sales representatives that work on a commission basis. These
representatives are under the supervision of LEC's direct regional sales manager
and national sales manager. The majority of LEC's products are sold pursuant to
per-job orders. LEC manufactures its products according to customer
specifications, and accordingly, does not maintain an extensive inventory of
industrial fasteners. LEC inspects all of its products at the time of production
and mechanically inspects such products prior to shipment to its customers. LEC
also conducts, at the request of its customers, statistical process control
procedures. All three locations are pursuing QS 9000 certification by December,
1997.

      SUPPLIERS. LEC purchases raw materials from both domestic and foreign
sources. LEC currently purchases steel wire from three principal suppliers, and
the Company believes that other acceptable sources are available. LEC has
encountered no difficulty in meeting its supply requirements of any raw
materials necessary for the manufacture of its products and maintains raw
materials inventory levels for approximately 30 days of operations.

      COMPETITION. LEC generally is subject to competition from approximately
ten rivet manufacturing companies, any of which may have greater financial
resources than the Company. In the special cold-formed fastener market that is
concentrated primarily in the automotive and electronic markets, LEC also faces
competition from larger public companies and foreign manufacturers, many of whom
have greater financial resources than the Company. LEC believes that its
competitive advantages include its range of production capabilities, its
emphasis on high volume and low overhead production processes, its in-house
tooling operations and its national marketing strategy. The Company believes
that LEC's ability to compete effectively in the future will be primarily
dependent on maintaining trained and skilled production personnel and the
highest possible level of product quality.

ENERGY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DIVISION

VALVE AND SUPPLIES SALES

      PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. IMSCO and PVS distribute pipe, valves and fittings,
as well as remanufacture or recondition used or malfunctioning pipeline valves
for subsequent sale in a remanufactured condition to companies in the
petrochemical, chemical and petroleum refining industries for use in the
refining process and pipeline transportation and storage companies. The valve
and supplies market is primarily in the Gulf Coast area between Mobile, Alabama
and Brownsville, Texas.

            PIPE is typically sold in 20-foot or 40-foot lengths, in sizes
ranging from 1/2" to 72" in diameter, for use in the refining process by
chemical plants and refineries. Pipe is sold in a variety of sizes and wall
thicknesses, depending on the nature (liquid or gas) and quantity of the product
to be transported or processed through the pipe as well as the desired pressure
levels for transporting and processing the product through the pipe.

            INDUSTRIAL VALVES are flow inhibitors used with pipe that are
typically constructed of either carbon or alloy steel and are manufactured and
sold in a variety of forms, including gate valves, globe valves, check valves,
ball valves, plug valves and butterfly valves. Valves sold by IMSCO range from
1/2" to 36" in diameter and are available threaded or with a socket-weld,
flanged or butt-weld end.

                                        3
<PAGE>
            PIPELINE VALVES are manufactured to withstand greater pressure than
industrial valves. Pipeline valves also bear serial numbers that are traceable
to the OEM and permit each end-user to determine the OEM, the original purchaser
and the specifications of the valve, thereby allowing the end-users to verify
the specifications and quality of the valves. These valves are used to regulate
the flow and storage of natural gas and refined petroleum products. They range
in size from 2" to 60" in diameter, depending on the nature (liquid or gas),
quantity and desired speed of the flow of natural gas or refined petroleum
products regulated by the pipeline valve and are typically made of carbon steel.

            CONTRACT REMANUFACTURING services are performed for certain
customers. These contract services typically consist of remanufacturing or
modifying the customer's existing pipeline valves by installing stem extensions
and/or mounting actuators on the valves, preparing such valves for underground
or underwater use and conducting performance testing of such valves.

            ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS include gaskets, pipe hangers, steel, strainers,
swages, fasteners, tools, tubing and mill supplies. Mill supplies typically
consist of incidental construction-related items such as gloves, boots, ladders,
rope, blades, lubricants and other hardware items. These additional products are
typically used by IMSCO's customers who are also purchasing pipe, valves and
fittings.

      CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING. IMSCO sells its products to over 300 different
customers, with its 10 largest customers accounting for, in the aggregate, 39%
of this segment's sales during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. These
customers consist primarily of chemical and petroleum refining plants and
construction companies performing services at the plant locations.

      PVS sells its products to over 200 different customers primarily in the
pipeline transportation or product storage business with the 10 largest
customers accounting for, in the aggregate, 16% of this segment's sales in the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

      Distribution operations are conducted from the Baytown, Texas headquarters
and one branch location. All locations have inventories for distribution of
products directly to customers. Remanufacturing and distribution of pipeline
valves are conducted from South Houston, Texas. At December 31, 1996, this
segment maintained a sales force of 10 employees. No customer amounted to over
10% of the segment's sales.

      PVS sells new, used and remanufactured pipeline valves from its existing
inventory and pursuant to special customer orders. By maintaining a broad
inventory of types of pipeline valves, the Company believes that PVS is able to
timely respond to its customers' needs. Per-job orders account for substantially
all of the remanufacturing work performed and pipeline valves sold by PVS. In
the past, PVS has not entered into exclusive supply contracts with any
particular customer. PVS maintains an internal quality control program to help
ensure the quality of its remanufacturing process. Many of PVS' customers
monitor and approve its quality standards by sending quality assurance personnel
to PVS' facilities to ensure that the reconditioned valves meet their standards.
PVS also conducts seminars, often at the request of its customers, for training
field personnel in pipeline valve preventive maintenance.

      The majority of IMSCO's orders for products are filled with its purchases
from wholesale distributors or manufacturers rather than from IMSCO's existing
inventory. While IMSCO enters into blanket distribution contracts that provide
for the distribution of certain products at set prices with particular
customers, such contracts do not represent a material portion of IMSCO's
business. IMSCO primarily distributes products to customers located within 50
miles of its two office warehouse facilities.

                                        4
<PAGE>
      SUPPLIERS. Most of the products distributed by IMSCO may be obtained from
numerous alternative sources of supply. Because the demand for pipe, valves and
fittings is particularly price and time sensitive, IMSCO has historically
elected to concentrate its efforts in establishing and maintaining relationships
with manufacturers or suppliers who can provide the lowest prices and quickest
delivery time. During the last fiscal year, approximately 300 vendors supplied
substantially all of IMSCO's purchases of pipe, valves and fittings.

      PVS acquires its pipeline valves from bid lists from approximately 290
suppliers including pipeline transportation companies, individual brokers and
from other remanufacturing companies or OEMs. Pipeline transportation companies
construct new pipelines and repair segments of existing pipelines. After
completion of original construction or repair, the new valves (consisting of
excess pipeline valves not utilized or used pipeline valves that require
remanufacturing) are sold to dealers through bid lists. PVS continuously
receives and bids on these bid lists, as do all other remanufacturers of
pipeline valves. PVS also acquires some of its products from individual brokers
that buy and resell excess pipeline valves. Typically, PVS places pipeline
valves purchased from individual brokers in its inventory because of favorable
pricing. When PVS receives an order and the products are not available in its
inventory, it may also purchase the ordered products from other remanufacturing
companies or OEMs. Typically, a majority of the valves purchased from brokers or
other remanufacturing companies were originally purchased from bid lists.

      IMSCO and PVS warehouse certain products but purchase the majority of
their products on an as- needed basis, depending on demand or the availability
of inventory that can be acquired at favorable prices. IMSCO and PVS do not have
written contracts with any of their suppliers. Purchases from suppliers,
including credit arrangements, are negotiated on an order-per-order basis.
Accordingly, all arrangements are terminable by either party immediately or on
short notice. Relationships with suppliers are believed to be satisfactory and
no single vendor supplies 10% or more of the products purchased during the year.

      The Company has implemented computerized inventory control procedures at
IMSCO, which the Company believes provide improved inventory controls and allow
IMSCO to more effectively manage inventory purchases and maintain appropriate
levels of inventory to maximize operating results. These inventory control
procedures also have improved IMSCO's inventory turn-over ratio and reduced its
quantity of slow-moving items in inventory.

      COMPETITION. IMSCO faces competition based on pricing and the ability to
service customers and timely respond to their needs. IMSCO competes with
numerous larger and smaller distributors of pipe, valves and fittings, many of
whom have greater financial resources than the Company. Major competitors with
IMSCO include McJunkin Corp., Hughes, Inc., Wallace/Tyler Dawson, Redman Supply
Co. and R.J. Gallagher. The Company believes that the level of customer service
provided by IMSCO is its primary competitive advantage. The Company believes
that for IMSCO to compete effectively, it must adhere to the "overall quality
program" instituted by the Company, maintain existing business relationships,
respond to the needs of its customers through quality service and provide
price-competitive products to its customers.

      PVS is subject to competition based primarily on pricing and customer
service. The Company believes that Oilfield Fabricating and Machine, Inc. is its
major competitor in the industry and that PVS is subject to competition from
less than ten similarly-sized remanufacturing businesses. PVS' management
believes that its broad inventory of pipeline valves and its remanufacturing
facility are its primary competitive advantages and that its ability to compete
effectively is dependent on maintaining its inventory levels, retaining existing
business relationships and responding to its customers' needs through timely
service and providing quality products.

                                        5

NEW MACHINE SALES AND SERVICES

      PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Regal distributes new machine tools in South Texas
and Louisiana for certain manufacturers including Okuma Machinery, Inc.
("Okuma") on an exclusive basis, and other manufacturers on a non-exclusive
basis. 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. In addition, Regal sells parts and services for machine
tools and contracts on a job-by-job basis to move machine tools, predominantly
in the South Texas region.

      For the year ended December 31, 1996, the sale of new machine tools
accounted for 96% of Regal's revenues. Machine tool moving services accounted
for 4% of its revenues.

      CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING. Regal sells its products and services to over 800
customers, with no single customer accounting for more than 10% of Regal's sales
in the year ended December 31, 1996. Regal conducts its sales efforts from its
Houston, Texas location. At December 31, 1996, Regal employed a sales force of
seven employees.

      Per-job orders account for substantially all of the new machine sales.

      SUPPLIERS. Regal has several exclusive distribution agreements, including
agreements with Okuma, for South Texas and Louisiana. All machines are purchased
on an order-by-order basis.

      COMPETITION. New machine tool sales are subject to competition from
machine tool distributors of competitive machine tools manufacturers. Depending
upon the size and use of the product manufactured, the competitor will vary. The
Company believes Regal has a competitive advantage in its range of product
offerings. The Company believes Regal's ability to compete effectively in the
future is primarily dependent upon maintaining trained and skilled machine tool
personnel and the retention of its Okuma distribution line.

      Regal typically competes with four moving companies in its market. The
Company believes it has a competitive advantage in the size of its capacity and
the level of training of its personnel.

EXPORT CRATING

      PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. USC provides crating services for a variety of
products for export. Typically, a freight forwarder or company exporting its own
product will contract with USC for a specified product to be crated. The
products are forwarded to the USC facility, where the crating services are
performed. USC then forwards the crates to the shipping source, which is
typically an ocean-going vessel.

      CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING. USC sells its services to over 400 customers,
with its four largest customers accounting for 78% of its revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1996, USC employed two sales people who
conduct the Company's sales efforts from its Houston, Texas location.

      COMPETITION. USC typically competes with three crating companies in the
Houston area and generally does not compete outside this region. The Company
believes it has a competitive advantage in this market because of its
facilities, personnel and experience and its proximity to Houston ports.

                                        6
<PAGE>
USED MACHINE SALES

      PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. RPMS sells used machine tools primarily to large
corporations and machine shops in the Gulf Coast region. RPMS maintains an
inventory of used machine tools for sales to third parties and purchases used
machines for resale on an as-needed basis, depending upon demand. Used machine
tools are sold in a variety of sizes.

      CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING. RPMS sells its products to over 250 customers. No
single customer accounted for over 10% of RPMS sales in the year ended December
31, 1996. At December 31, 1996, the Company employed one sales person.

      Per-job orders account for substantially all of used machine sales. By
maintaining distribution relationships and inventories of used machine tools and
parts, the Company believes it is able to timely respond to customers that use
the products and services offered by RPMS.

      SUPPLIERS. RPMS maintains an inventory of used machine tools. Typically,
these machine tools are purchased at auction or from used machine brokers. The
Company believes it has adequate inventory and sufficient access to auction
markets and brokers to satisfy its inventory requirements for used machine
tools.

      COMPETITION. RPMS typically competes with other used machine tool dealers
on a national basis. The Company believes its inventory of used machines is a
competitive advantage and that its ability to compete effectively is dependent
on maintaining an adequate inventory level and continued access to purchasing
opportunities through brokers and auctions.

EMPLOYEES

      At December 31, 1996, the Company employed a total of 387 people, four of
whom are corporate officers, 23 are employed by IMSCO, 26 are employed by PVS,
89 are employed by Landreth, 84 are employed by CRivet, 91 are employed by
American and 70 are employed by REX. None of the Company's employees are covered
by collective bargaining agreements. The Company believes its relationship with
its employees is satisfactory.

 BACKLOG

      As of December 31, 1996, LEC's backlog was approximately $6,440,000
compared to $5,845,000 at December 31, 1995. IMSCO, PVS and REX have
historically operated without backlog, which, because of the nature of their
business operations, is believed to be customary for their industries.

REGULATION

      The Company's business is affected by governmental regulations relating to
its industry segments in general, as well as environmental and safety
regulations that have specific application to the Company's business. The
Company does not believe that compliance with federal, state or local
environmental laws adversely affects its business, earnings or competitive
position. The Company cannot predict whether future legislation will have any
effect on its operations. The Company does not believe that environmental laws
have had a material impact on industry standards and/or quality control
procedures.

facilities leased by REX. The office facility portion of this property consists
of conventional office space and is, in the opinion of management, adequate to
meet the Company's needs for the foreseeable future. The Company believes that
all existing office and warehouse facilities leased or owned by its subsidiaries
are adequate to meet the needs of the Company for the foreseeable future and are
suitable for the business conducted therein.

ITEM 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

      The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock and does not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company
presently intends to retain future earnings to support the Company's operations
and growth. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent on the

condition, capital requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors
may deem relevant. The payment of cash dividends is currently prohibited under
the terms of certain of the Company's long-term indebtedness.

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

GENERAL

      The Company was formed in August 1989 and acquired IMSCO in December 1989,
PVS in January 1992, Landreth in October 1992, REX in April 1993, CRivet in
December 1995, American in November 1996, Lone Star in February 1997, and MVS in
March 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995.

      SALES. On a consolidated basis, sales increased $12,439,880 or 32% in 1996
compared to 1995. This increase was primarily the result of a $3,295,000
increase in new machine tool sales and the inclusion of a full year of
operations of CRivet and two months of operations of American.

      COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased $9,737,795 or 31% in 1996 compared
to 1995. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 79.4% in 1996 compared to
79.8% in 1995. The 31% increase in cost of sales was attributable to the 32%
increase in sales in 1996 in comparison to 1995. Cost of sales as a percentage
of sales was unusually high in 1995 as a result of a $3,295,000 increase in the
sale of new machine tools and the inclusion of $1,036,580 in wire sales at a
4.8% gross margin.

      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1,600,707 or 25% in 1996 compared to 1995.
This increase was primarily the result of the inclusion of a full year of
operations of CRivet and two months of operations of American.

      INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $353,650 or 36% in 1996
compared to 1995 due to increases in debt as a result of the acquisition of
CRivet and American which was partially offset by a reduction in interest rates
in 1996 compared to 1995.

      OTHER INCOME. Other income increased $121,030 in 1996 compared to 1995.
This increase was primarily the result of $100,000 in non-recurring fee income
earned for consulting services performed in 1996.

      FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 27% in 1996
compared to 16% in 1995. During 1996, the Company reduced its deferred tax asset
valuation allowance by $239,000. A portion of the reduction, approximately
$101,000, was to reflect deferred tax assets used in 1996, the remainder was to
recognize a deferred tax asset of $138,000. Based on management's assessment of
earnings trends, expected revenues and cost reductions and the expiration dates
of carryforwards, management determined that it was more likely than not that
these assets would be realized.

      NET INCOME. As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had net
income of $1,126,712 in 1996 compared to net income of $545,147 in 1995.

                                       11
<PAGE>
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994.

      SALES. On a consolidated basis, sales increased $4,252,731 or 12% in 1995
compared to 1994. This increase was primarily the result of increased sales in
the Company's New Machine Sales segment as a result of increased market demand
for machine tools.

      COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased $3,626,022 or 13% in 1995 compared
to 1994. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 79.8% in 1995 compared to
79.1% in 1994. The increase in cost of sales was attributable to the 12%
increase in sales in 1995 in comparison to 1994 and $1,036,580 in wire sales by
Landreth to CRivet in the first and second quarters of 1995. These sales to
CRivet were made at a 4.8% gross margin resulting in the increase in cost of
sales as a percentage of sales in 1995 compared to 1994.

      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $168,170 or 3% in 1995 compared to 1994.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were comparable between 1995 and
1994 as a result of the Company's ability to add additional revenues without
substantial additional overhead.

      INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $93,748 or 11% in 1995
compared to 1994 due to increases in debt at Landreth as a result of sales of
wire to CRivet on open credit which were not repaid and financing of new
equipment purchases.

      OTHER INCOME. Other income decreased $165,655 or 90% in 1995 compared to
1994. This decrease was a result of a one time recognition of miscellaneous
income at REX in 1994 that did not recur in 1995.

      FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 16% in 1995
compared to 69% in 1994. The decrease in the effective tax rate occurred because
of a reduction in state income tax expense from 1994 to 1995. Additionally,
during 1995, the Company reduced its deferred tax asset valuation allowance by
$223,000. A portion of the reduction, approximately $26,000, was to reflect
deferred tax assets used in 1995, the remainder was to recognize a deferred tax
asset of $197,000. Based on management's assessment of earnings trends, expected
revenues and cost reductions and the expiration dates of carryforwards,
management determined that is was more likely than not that these assets would
be realized.

      NET INCOME. As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had net
income of $545,147 in 1995 compared to net income of $31,702 in 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At December 31, 1996, the Company had cash of $3,087,925 and additional
borrowing capacity under its line of credit of $670,547. The Company's
operations provided cash of $971,918 during 1996 compared to $1,233,412 and
$353,914 during 1995 and 1994. These cash flows were primarily attributable to
increased net income over the three year period and increased depreciation and
amortization in 1996 as a result of the acquisitions of CRivet and American
which was offset by increases in inventory and the payment of deferred
compensation.

      Capital expenditures for property and equipment increased 298% for 1996
compared to 1995, primarily as a result of the purchase of new equipment and
leasehold improvements for the Company's fastener

                                       12
<PAGE>
manufacturing operations. In 1996, the Company acquired net cash of $1,244,666
in the acquisition of American. In 1995, the Company used cash of $826,003 to
purchase CRivet.

      Financing activities provided cash of $2,866,955 for 1996. The Company
raised $6,248,281 from the issuance of common stock and used approximately
$4,271,224 to repay debt associated with the acquisition of American as well as
other financing and to purchase property and equipment for its fastener
division. Net borrowing under the revolving line of credit increased in 1995 as
a result of borrowings by CRivet to fund increases in working capital. Financing
activities provided cash of $738,136 and $179,614 in 1995 and 1994 as the
Company generated net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $275,116 and
$418,278 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

      In connection with the acquisition of Landreth, on October 7, 1992 the
Company issued to Renaissance Capital Partners II, Ltd. ("Renaissance"), a 12%
Convertible Debenture due October 1, 1999 in the principal amount of $2,500,000
(the "Renaissance Debenture"). At December 31, 1996, the outstanding principal
balance was $1,060,000. In January and February 1997, Renaissance converted
$360,000 of the outstanding principal balance to 110,430 shares of Common Stock.
The Renaissance Debenture is convertible at a conversion price of $3.26 per
share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The
Renaissance Debenture requires monthly interest payments and commencing on
November 1, 1997, monthly principal payments of $25,000. The terms of the
Renaissance Debenture restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries
to incur, assume or guarantee any additional indebtedness, to enter into new
lines of business, develop new products or acquire companies other than in
compliance with certain acquisition guidelines promulgated by Renaissance, to
consolidate or merge with another corporation or to sell any of its properties.

      Additionally, the Company has entered into a Demand Note and Line of
Credit dated November 1, 1996 ("Demand Note") among the Company and Comerica
Bank-Texas ("Comerica"). The Demand Note is in the principal amount of
$12,000,000 ($14,000,000 at February 1997) or the lesser of a borrowing base as
defined, bearing interest at the prime rate of Comerica and is payable on
demand. This Demand Note allows IMSCO, Landreth, PVS, REX and American to borrow
funds based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% to 50% of eligible
inventory with various specified sublimits for each individual subsidiary. At
December 31, 1996, the borrowing capacity under the Demand Note was $10,016,464
of which $9,345,917 was outstanding at that date. The Demand Note is secured by
all of the assets of the Company, LEC, IMSCO, REX and American and the accounts,
chattel paper, general intangibles and contract rights of PVS.

      In connection with its acquisition of CRivet, in December 1995, the
Company entered into a 9.85% $2.8 million Term Loan with General Electric
Capital Corporation payable in seventy monthly installments of $53,620 through
December 1, 2001. The Term Loan is secured by the machinery and equipment of
CRivet.

      In March 1996, the Company completed a private placement of 300,000 shares
of Common Stock. Of the $1,010,000 in proceeds, the Company used $600,000 to
repay a portion of the Renaissance Debenture. The remaining proceeds were used
for the relocation of the Landreth plant to the Company's REX facility and the
CRivet plant to a new location in Connecticut.

      In December 1996, the Company completed a tender offer to holders of its
Class A Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants (Class A Warrants) whereby
each Class A Warrantholder received one share of Common Stock, one Class B
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (Class B Warrant) and one Class C
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (Class C Warrant) for each Class A
Warrant

                                       13
<PAGE>
tendered along with the exercise price of $6 per warrant exercised. As a result
of the tender offer the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$3,556,000 and issued 621,914 shares of Common Stock, 621,914 Class B Warrants
and 621,914 Class C Warrants. The net proceeds were used to repay debt incurred
in the acquisition of American.

      At December 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $3,100,756,
long-term debt of $7,326,444 and shareholders' equity of $16,554,447. The
Company anticipates that its operating cash needs for fiscal 1997 can be met
with cash generated from operations, borrowings under its credit facilities with
Comerica and private placements of debt securities. Any acquisition of
additional companies in connection with the Company's acquisition strategy will
require additional financing, which likely would include a combination of debt
and equity financing.

INFLATION

      Although the Company believes that inflation has not had any material
effect on operating results, there can be no assurance that the Company's
business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

SEASONALITY

      The Company believes that its business is not subject to any significant
seasonal factors, and the Company does not anticipate significant seasonality in
the future. However, the business and operating results of the Company are
dependent on numerous economic and other factors affecting the industries to
which the Company provides products and services. An economic slowdown in these
industries could result in decrease in demand for the Company's products and
services, which could adversely affect the Company's operating results.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Industrial Holdings, Inc.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the Index
appearing on page F-1 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Industrial Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1996
and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. 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. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                           INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Industrial Holdings, Inc. (the Company), incorporated in August 1989, operates
five primary segments organized into two divisions: the Fastener Manufacturing
and Sales Division comprised of Landreth Engineering Company ("Landreth"),
American Rivet Company, Inc. ("American") acquired in November 1996, Connecticut
Rivet ("CRivet"), acquired in December 1995, which manufacture industrial metal
fasteners for sale primarily to manufacturers in the furniture, home appliance
and automotive industries and the Energy Products and Services Division
comprised of the Valve Supplies and Sales Group which includes Industrial
Municipal Supply ("IMSCO") and Pipeline Valve Specialty, Inc. ("PVS") which
remanufacture pipeline valves and distribute pipe, valves, fittings and other
products primarily to the petrochemical, chemical and petroleum refining
industries and to pipeline transportation and storage industries; the New
Machine Sales and Service Group which sells new machine tools and provides
machine moving services; the Export Crating Group which provides international
export crating services; and the Used Machine Sales Group which sells used
machine tools. The New Machine Sales and Service, Export Crating and Used
Machine Sales Groups comprise The Rex Group ("REX").

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Industrial
Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Companies). Significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The financial statements include the results of operations of CRivet and
American as of December 7, 1995 and November 1, 1996, respectively (see Note 3).

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are recognized upon shipment of the product or as the services are
performed.

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 $179,965 and $80,072 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                                       F-8

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' financial condition and
historically has not incurred significant credit losses. Notes receivable are
collateralized by land, buildings and equipment.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Management has determined that the fair value of the Company's financial
instruments approximates the carrying amount of such instruments as presented or
disclosed in the financial statements.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes, where
applicable, manufacturing labor and overhead. At December 31, 1996, the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method was used to determine the cost of American's raw
material and rivet inventories totaling $1,225,257. At that date, there was no
LIFO reserve. The first-in, first-out method ("FIFO") was used to determine the
cost of the remaining inventories at December 31, 1996 and all inventories at
December 31, 1995.

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 automobiles, furniture and equipment and 31 years for
buildings). Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("FAS
121"), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of, the Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Under FAS 121, an impairment loss will be recognized when estimated
future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition are less than its carrying amount. No such impairment losses have
been identified by the Company.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value
of net tangible assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized over 20 years. At
December 31, 1996, goodwill was $5,973,963, net of amortization of $590,550.
Other intangible assets consist primarily of loan origination fees and are
amortized over periods not exceeding seven years.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 ("FAS
123"), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation beginning with the Company's
first quarter of 1996. Upon adoption of FAS 123, the Company continued to
measure compensation expense for its stock- based employee compensation plans
using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, and has provided in Note 11 pro forma disclosures of the
effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method
prescribed by FAS 123 had been applied in measuring compensation expense.

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. At December 31, 1995, a valuation
allowance was provided for deferred tax assets which the Company had determined
may not be fully realizable.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding. For 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
weighted average common and common equivalent shares were 4,378,684, 3,149,579
and 3,029,574 for the purpose of computing primary earnings per share. Fully
diluted earnings per share for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were the same as primary
earnings per share, since the effects of the conversion of the debentures was
anti-dilutive.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents
include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less. Changes in assets and liabilities are presented net of the effect of
the purchase of American in 1996 and CRivet in 1995.

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.

The pro forma financial information combines the historical operating results of
IHI for 1996 and 1995 with the results of operations for American for the ten
months ended October 31, 1996 and the twelve months ended December 31, 1995 and
CRivet for the period from January 1, 1995 through December 6, 1995. 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,
1995 or future results of operations of the combined companies.

These acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting
(determined on a preliminary basis for American) and, accordingly, the acquired
assets and liabilities have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the
date of acquisition as follows:

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 1996 (excluding
$360,000 of convertible debenture converted to common stock subsequent to year
end) are as follows:

                  Year ended December 31:

The convertible debenture agreement contains restrictive covenants which, among
other things, requires the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain minimum
amounts of net worth, debt-to-equity ratios, working capital, interest coverage
and fixed charge coverage. The Company is also required to notify the holder if
a material adverse change occurs, and the ability of subsidiaries to declare
dividends to the Company is restricted. At December 31, 1996, due to significant
capital expenditures, the Company was not in compliance with certain restrictive
covenants. The Company has obtained waivers for such non-compliance.

The 12% convertible debentures are subject to redemption at the Company's option
at a rate of 110 percent and 105 percent of the notes in the 12 months ending
October 1, 1997 and 1998. If common stock is issued for consideration per share
less than the $3.26 conversion price of the debentures, then the conversion
price of the debentures is reduced to the consideration per share received by
the Company. In March 1996, the Company paid $600,000 to the holder of the 12%
convertible debentures in payment of current and future principal payments
totaling that amount. The holder waived any prepayment penalty associated with
this prepayment. The Company issued to the holder, warrants to purchase 50,000
shares of common stock at $4.00 per share. Additionally, at December 31, 1996,
the Company has classified $360,000 of the convertible debenture due within one
year as long-term debt since subsequent to year end, the holder converted this
amount to common stock (See Note 11).

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Companies have entered into noncancellable operating leases with related
parties (former shareholders of Landreth) and other third parties expiring in
various years through 2002. Rent payments to the former shareholders of Landreth

such leases amounted to $935,845, $657,328 and $592,589 for the years 1996, 1995

through 2002 with an option to renew for an additional five years. The Company
has an option to purchase the leased premises at a price equal to the
outstanding indebtedness at the time the option is exercised.

In connection with the purchase of 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 and the proceeds they received upon sale of their common
stock. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had advances to these
shareholders of $48,750 and $192,750, which were secured by 9,750 and 38,550
shares, respectively. At December 31, 1996, the Company had no advances to these
shareholders and there was no further obligation under this agreement.

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

In connection with the purchase of Landreth, the former Landreth shareholders
are entitled to additional consideration based upon the level of Landreth's
pretax profits through 1997, not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. For fiscal
1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company paid these shareholders $29,491, $207,863 and
$64,859 as additional consideration. As of December 31, 1996, the maximum
remaining commitment is $112,934.

The Company had an employment agreement with a former REX shareholder that
expired in 1995. Under the agreement, the former shareholder earned 11,667
shares of common stock in 1994 and 2,333 shares of common stock in 1995.

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

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
At December 31, 1996, the Company has net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of
approximately $936,000 for income tax purposes which expire in 2005 through
2007. These losses may presently be offset against the future income of the
applicable subsidiary only. Of the carryforward amount, $134,000 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, 1995 and 1994,
the Company reduced the deferred tax asset valuation allowance by $238,873,
$223,110 and $2,500, respectively, to reflect $101,000, $26,000 and $2,500,
respectively in deferred tax assets used and to recognize deferred tax assets of
$138,873 in 1996 and $197,110 in 1995. The recognized deferred tax assets are
based upon expected utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and reversal
of certain temporary differences. The Company has assessed its past earnings
history and trends and that of its subsidiary, REX, 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:

                                                         1996           1995

The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during 1996
and 1995 was $4.04 and $2.94 per option, respectively. The fair value of options
at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following
weighted average assumptions:

                                 1996          1995

BOARD AND COMMITTEE ACTIVITY: STRUCTURE AND COMPENSATION

         The Company's operations are managed under the broad supervision of the
Board of Directors, which has ultimate responsibility for the establishment and
implementation of the Company's general operating philosophy, objectives, goals
and policies. During 1996, the Board of Directors convened on two regular
occasions. Each director attended all of the meetings held by the Board or
meetings of Board committees of which he was a member during his tenure in 1996,
except for Charles J. Anderson who attended no Board of Directors meetings and
all Committee meetings of which he was a member. During 1996, directors received
no cash compensation for attendance at Board or Committee meetings. Directors
are, however, entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses incurred
in attending such meetings. In 1996, each non-employee director (Messrs.
Anderson, Kenney and Madden and Ms. Shuler) was awarded under the Company's 1995
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") options to
purchase 5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $4.06 per share. Employee
directors are eligible to participate in the Company's 1994 Amended and Restated
Incentive Stock Plan (the "Employee Plan"). Non-employee directors are entitled
to participate in the Director Plan.

         Pursuant to delegated authority, various Board functions are discharged
by the standing committees of the Board. The Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors, currently composed of Messrs. Brock and Anderson and Ms. Shuler,
makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the selection and
engagement of the Company's independent public accountants and reviews the scope
of the annual audit, audit fees and results of the audit. The Audit Committee
also reviews and discusses with management and the Board of Directors such
matters as accounting policies, internal accounting controls and procedures for
preparation of financial statements. The Audit Committee convened on one
occasion in 1996. The Compensation Committee sets the compensation for
executive, managerial and technical personnel of the Company and administers the
Company's stock option and other compensation plans. The Compensation Committee
was composed of Mr. Madden, Ms. Shuler and Mr. Anderson and met on one occasion
in 1996.

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10%
of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes of ownership with the Commission. Officers, directors and
greater than 10% shareholders are required to furnish the Company with copies of
all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on its review of the forms
received by it, the Company believes that during the year ended December 31,
1996 Messrs. Cone, Madden, Anderson and Kenney and Ms. Shuler and Ms. Smith were
late in filing a form 4 report of an exempt transaction. The Company believes
that these failures to file reports on a timely basis were inadvertent and has
implemented routine procedures designed to periodically remind its officers and
directors of the filing requirements.

ITEM 11.          EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE. The following table provides certain
summary information covering compensation paid or accrued during the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 to the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and the other executive officers, whose annual compensation, determined
as of the end of the last fiscal year, exceeds $100,000.

approval of a majority of the independent and disinterested directors and only
on terms the Company believes to be comparable to or better than those that
would be available from unaffiliated parties. In the Company's view, all of the
transactions described below meet that standard.

("Landreth") in 1992, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Scranton
Acres, a general partnership of which Mr. Tom Landreth is a partner, for the
Landreth facility. The lease expire in 2002. Rental payments are $106,800
annually.

         In connection with the purchase of Landreth, the former Landreth
Shareholders, including Mr. Tom Landreth, are entitled to additional
consideration based upon the level of Landreth's pretax profits through 1997,
not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. For fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
Company paid Mr. Landreth $14,745, $103,932 and $32,430.

         Mr. John Thompson, a director of the Company since February 1997, is
also a director and President of St. James Capital Corp. ("St. James Capital"),
a merchant banking firm. St. James Capital serves as General Partner of St.
James Capital Partners, L.P. ("St. James"). During 1995, St. James provided
$1,000,000 in short-term financing to the Company in connection with an
acquisition. In 1996, $804,100 of principal of this note was converted by St.
James into 215,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining principal
and $65,995 in interest was repaid by the Company to St. James. In 1996, St.
James provided $1.9 million in short term financing in connection with an
acquisition and acquired 540,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock
at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. Additionally, St. James Capital
received $180,600 in investment banking fees. In 1996, the Company received

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
American Rivet Company, Inc:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Rivet Company, Inc.
as of August 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations and
retained earnings and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended August 31, 1996. 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.

We conducted our audits 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 provide 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 American Rivet Company, Inc. as
of August 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years in the three-year period ended August 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements, the Company changed
its method of accounting for investments as of September 1, 1994 to adopt the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 (1)     Significant Accounting Policies

         DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

   American Rivet Company ("Company") is a national manufacturer of rivets with
   approximately 35% of its annual net sales derived from the automotive
   industry. Approximately 10% of the Company's net sales were provided by one
   customer for the years ended August 31, 1996 and 1995.

         INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The unaudited interim financial data as of September 30, 1996 and for the one
   month ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 reflects all normal recurring
   adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are, in
   the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial
   position and operating results for the interim periods.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
   that effect 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, but management does not
   believe such differences will materially affect its financial position,
   results of operations or cash flows.

         MARKETABLE SECURITIES

   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS
   115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,"
   effective September 1, 1994. The cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS
   115 resulted in an increase in stockholders' equity of $63,451. In accordance
   with SFAS 115, prior years' financial statements have not been restated to
   reflect the change in accounting method. At August 31, 1994 marketable
   securities were classified as available-for-sale and were reported at the
   lower of aggregate amortized cost or fair value.

   Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in
   debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such
   determination at each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which the
   Company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are
   classified as available-for-sale, along with the Company's investment in
   equity securities. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value,
   with unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of
   shareholders' equity. At August 31, 1996, the Company had no investments that
   qualified as trading or held to maturity.

   The amortized cost of debt securities classified as available-for-sale is
   adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.
   Such amortization and interest are included in interest income. Realized
   gains and losses are shown separately. The cost of securities sold is based
   on the specific identification method.

   At August 31, 1996, the Company's investments in debt and equity securities
   were classified as marketable securities. These investments are diversified
   among high credit quality securities in accordance with the Company's
   investment policy.

Notes to Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         INVENTORIES

   Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The last-in, first-out
   (LIFO) method is used to determine cost for the rivet business inventories,
   and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used to determine cost for the
   automatic rivet setting machine parts inventories.

         PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

   Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
   depreciation. Depreciation is generally calculated using accelerated methods
   over the estimated useful lives of between 5-45 years of the respective
   assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
   related depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is
   recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance is charged to
   income as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

         INCOME TAXES

   The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income
   taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
   for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
   financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
   their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
   using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
   which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
   The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
   recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

         GOODWILL AND ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSE

   The goodwill and organizational expense which arose in 1953 is not being
   amortized, as it has no determinable life.

         DEFERRED CHARGES

   Deferred charges consist of certain tools and factory supplies which are
   charged to operations as they are used in production.

         DEFERRED COMPENSATION

   The Company has deferred compensation contracts with certain past and present
   key executives. Periodic accrual is being made, over the projected active
   term of employment of present executives, of an amount equivalent to the
   present value of the benefits at the date of retirement.

         PROFIT-SHARING PLAN

   The Company maintains a qualified noncontributory profit-sharing plan for
   full-time employees who satisfy minimum age and service requirements.
   Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
   The Board of Directors authorized contributions of $53,000, $88,000 and
   $40,000 for fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994 respectively.

   The Company amended the plan, effective September 1, 1993, to add a 401(k)
   provision in addition to the existing plan. The 401(k) offers two investment
   options: the Balanced Fund and Fixed Income Fund. In fiscal 1994 the Company
   matched $0.50 on the dollar for employee contributions of up to $400. In
   fiscal years 1995 and 1996, the Company matched $0.75 on the dollar for
   employee contributions of up to $500. The Company matched contributions at a
   cost of $15,101, $15,277 and $6,725 for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994,
   respectively.

         CASH EQUIVALENTS

   For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
   highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
   less to be cash equivalents.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
   accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the
   short maturity of these items. The Company's marketable securities are
   presented in the financial statements at fair market value as determined by
   quoted market prices.

(2)      MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

   In accordance with SFAS 115, the Company's marketable securities have been

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at August 31, 1996 and
1995 are presented as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       1996             1995

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Total gross deferred tax assets                     228,207         225,883

 Deferred tax liability - property,
     plant, and equipment                          (128,235)       (134,876)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Net deferred tax asset                          $    99,972          90,957
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A valuation allowance has not been provided for deferred tax assets at August
31, 1996 or 1995 as management believes it is more likely than not that the
results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize
the deferred tax assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(6)    RELATED PARTIES

   Deferred compensation relates to agreements with certain key past and present
   officers of the Company. These agreements are in the form of annuities
   beginning at age 65 and continuing over a ten year period or less depending
   on the last survival of the officer or spouse. Amounts accrue straight-line
   to the date of retirement and all agreements are fully funded. The current
   portion of the accrual at August 31, 1996 and 1995 represents payments due
   within the next twelve months for a past officer's beneficiary. Deferred
   compensation expense was approximately $33,000 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994.

(7)SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   Some aspects of the Company's business are regulated by environmental laws,
   and the Company regularly takes steps to comply with applicable requirements.
   The Company believes it is in compliance with the environmental laws. In
   October, 1996, the Company engaged environmental engineering consultants to
   review the Company's facility. The tests and findings have not been
   completed, but do indicate that some expenditures related to environmental
   matters may be necessary. Since the extent or range of the cost is not yet
   known, no accrual has been made in the financial statements for costs related
   to the environmental matters. Based upon information presently available,
   such costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
   Company's financial position or its results of operations.

(8)    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   Subsequent to year end, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a
   dividend of $1.28 per share for stockholders of record on September 5, 1996.
   The total amount of $99,840 was paid subsequently.

                        PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

        The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to
the acquisition by Industrial Holdings, Inc. ("IHI") of American Rivet Company,
Inc. ("American") in a transaction accounted for as a purchase which closed
November 1996. The allocation of purchase price is based on preliminary
information currently available and will be revised as necessary prior to the
issuance of the 1996 financial statements, although no material adjustments are
anticipated. The following unaudited pro forma financial statements also give
effect to the exercise of 621,914 Class A Warrants, the issuance of 621,914
shares of Common Stock and the application of the net proceeds therefrom which
occurred December 15, 1996.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is based on
the September 30, 1996 balance sheets of IHI included in the financial
statements of IHI filed with Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
and in the 1995 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and the financial statements of
American appearing elsewhere in this Form 8-K, and has been prepared to reflect
the acquisition of American and the exercise of warrants as if the acquisition
and exercise had occurred at September 30, 1996. The acquisition of MRMC, Inc's
("MRMC") Fastener Division ("CRivet") was completed in December 1995 and its
balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 is included in that of IHI.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations
are based on the income statements of IHI filed with Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 and in the 1995 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and
the financial statements and the income statement of American for the 12-month
period ended December 31, 1995 and the nine-month period ended September 30,
1996 (not presented separately herein). Additionally, the unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1995 is based on the Statement of Direct Revenues and Direct Expenses of CRivet
for the period from January 1, 1995 through December 7, 1995 (not presented
separately herein). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations combine the results of operations of IHI, CRivet and American for the
year ended December 31, 1995, as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1,
1995 and combine the results of operations of IHI and American for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1,
1996.

        These unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of IHI
filed with Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and in the 1995
Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and the financial statements of CRivet filed
with Form 8-K/A3 dated July 5, 1996 and American included elsewhere in this Form
8-K.

           taxes applicable to differences in fair market values and book bases 
           of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a. above.

Note 1 - The above statements give effect to the following pro forma adjustments
necessary to reflect the acquisition and the issuance of debt related to the
acquisition outlined in Note 1 to the pro forma balance sheet:

    a.  Reduce cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses
        for reductions in executive payrolls, reductions in professional fees,
        elimination of directors fees, reduction in executive benefits,
        elimination of profit sharing plan contributions and elimination of
        expenses related to Florida real estate.

    b.  Record change in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from
        (i) the increase in acquired property, plant and equipment as a result
        of the allocation of the purchase price and (ii) amortization of
        acquired goodwill over 20 years.

    c.  Reduce cost of sales for the effect of the difference in lifo and fifo
        basis of accounting for inventory.

    d.  Reflect interest charges (i) for American on $1,800,000 of 8.25% term
        debt, $3,712,000 8.25% Comerica Bank Demand Note, 12% $3,500,000 bridge
        note and $3,600,000 reduction in short term borrowings as a result of
        application of net proceeds from the exercise of 621,914 Class A
        Warrants; (ii) for CRivet on $1,000,000 of 12% convertible notes,
        $2,800,000 of 9.85% term note and $1,400,000 Demand Note secured to
        finance the acquisition.

    e.  Eliminate interest income and other income.

    f.  Reduce payroll expense for employees not hired upon acquisition of
        CRivet and which are not needed to operate at historical levels of
        operations when the operations of CRivet are combined with those of IHI.
        Pro forma production staffing levels at CRivet are comparable to those
        at Landreth and include 65 employees compared to 71 production employees
        at Landreth. Pro forma sales and engineering staffing levels include 8
        employees at CRivet compared to 8 employees at Landreth. Substantially
        all other administrative functions will be performed by Landreth. These
        staffing reductions are as a result of Landreth's more efficient
        operating and management techniques. Pro forma adjustments for 1995
        include the elimination of an additional 32 production employees not
        hired by Landreth at acquisition.

    g.  Reverse the effect of the CRivet obsolescence reserve recorded in the
        period ended December 7, 1995.

        CRivet and American.

    j.  Increase in earnings per share as a result of pro forma earnings of
        CRivet and American and increase in weighted average of common stock
        equivalents (i) for American for the effect of 540,000 warrants sold in
        connection with $3,500,000 bridge note, (ii) for CRivet for the effect
        of 400,000 warrants sold in connection with $1,000,000 convertible note,
        and (iii) the issuance of 621,914 shares of common stock and the related
        common stock equivalents for the additional incentive warrants issued in
        connection with the exercise of Class A Warrants.

    k.  Eliminate intercompany sales and cost of goods sold between CRivet and
        Landreth.

                                       26

        data processing system to be implemented, number of telephones,
        estimated additional audit and legal fees and travel anticipated between

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

January 31, 1997

The Board of Directors
LSS - Lone Star - Houston, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LSS - Lone Star
- - Houston, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' 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.

Except as discussed in the following paragraph, 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.

We did not observe the physical inventory (stated at $684,455) taken as of
December 31, 1995, since that date was prior to our initial engagement as
auditors for the Company, and the Company's records do not permit adequate
retroactive tests of inventory quantities.

In our opinion, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might
have been determined to be necessary in the statements of income, retained
earnings, and cash flows had we been able to observe the physical inventory
taken as of December 31, 1995, the financial statements referred to in the first
paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of LSS - Lone Star - Houston, Inc. and Subsidiary at December 31, 1996,
and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1996

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

LSS-Lone Star-Houston, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) is a manufacturer and
distributor of quality fasteners. The Company extends credit to customers
located in Harris and surrounding counties, Texas.

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The accompanying financial statements include the
accounts of LSS-Lone Star- Houston, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Amflow
Master Environmental, Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- The Company considers all highly liquid short-term
investments with a maturity of ninety days or less from the purchase date to be
cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE -- The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully
collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If
amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that
determination is made.

INVENTORIES -- Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market. Raw materials and finished goods amounted to $117,343 and $677,927 at
December 31, 1996.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT -- Property, plant and equipment is stated at
cost. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate to cost of
depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives on an
accelerated method.

INCOME TAXES -- Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. When management determines that its more likely than not
that a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is
established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

USE OF ESTIMATES -- In preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the 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.

NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE

prime plus 1% (9.25% at December 31, 1996) providing for maximum borrowings of

                        PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

      The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the
acquisition by Industrial Holdings, Inc. ("IHI") of LSS-Lone Star-Houston, Inc.
("Lone Star") in a transaction accounted for as a purchase which closed January
1997. The allocation of purchase price is based on preliminary information
currently available and will be revised as necessary prior to the issuance of
the 1997 financial statements, although no material adjustments are anticipated.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is based on
the December 31, 1996 balance sheets of IHI included in the financial statements
of IHI filed in the 1996 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and the financial
statements of Lone Star appearing elsewhere in this Form 8-K, and has been
prepared to reflect the acquisition of Lone Star as if the acquisition had
occurred at December 31, 1996. The acquisition of American Rivet Company, Inc.
("American") was completed in November 1996 and its balance sheet as of December
31, 1996 is included in that of IHI.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations
are based on the income statements of IHI in the 1996 Annual Report filed on
Form 10-K, the statement of operations for Lone Star for the year ended December
31, 1996 appearing elsewhere in this Form 8-K and the income statement of
American for the 10-month period ended October 31, 1996 (not presented
separately herein). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations combine the results of operations of IHI, Lone Star and American for
the year ended December 31, 1996, as if the acquisitions had occurred on January
1, 1996.

      These unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of IHI in
the 1996 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and the financial statements of
American filed with Form 8-K/A dated November 18, 1996 and Lone Star included
elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

ITEM 4.   CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS.

          (a)  Previous Independent Accountants

               (i) On May 8, 1997, Price Waterhouse LLP declined to stand for
          re-election as the independent accountants for Industrial Holdings,
          Inc.

               (ii) The reports of Price Waterhouse LLP on the financial
          statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion
          or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
          uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

               (iii) In connection with its audits for the two most recent
          fiscal years and through May 8, 1997, there have been no disagreements
          with Price Waterhouse LLP on any matter of accounting principles and
          practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
          procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of
          Price Waterhouse LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto
          in their report on the financial statements for such years.

               (iv) During the two most recent fiscal years and through May 8,
          1997, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation
          S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

               (v) The Registrant has requested that Price Waterhouse LLP
          furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not
          it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated May
          13, 1997, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Manifold Valve Service, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Manifold Valve Service, Inc.
as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related statements of income and
retained earnings, 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.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 provide 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 Manifold Valve Service, Inc. as
of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

        ORGANIZATION - Manifold Valve Service, Inc. (the Company) primarily
        repairs and remanufactures high pressure valves that are principally
        used in oil and gas drilling applications, primarily along the U.S. Gulf
        Coast and worldwide. The Company is wholly-owned by Catalyst Energy
        Services, Inc. (CESI).

        REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue on valve repair and remanufacture services
        is recognized upon the delivery of the equipment to the customer.

        INVENTORY - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with
        cost determined using the first-in, first-out method for the valve parts
        and specific identification for valve finished goods.

        USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of the Company's financial statements
        in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the
        Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
        amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes.
        Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost.
        Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over a range of
        estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

                Building                              10 years
                Machinery and equipment               5-10 years
                Vehicles                              5 years
                Furniture and fixtures                3-10 years

      INCOME TAXES - The accounts of the Company are included in the
      consolidated federal income tax return of CESI. The income taxes
      recognized in the accompanying financial statements were determined on a
      separate return basis. Deferred income taxes are accounted for under the
      liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are
      recognized for the expected tax effect of current differences between the
      tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities.
      The Company's deferred tax liability represents the difference between tax
      and financial reporting methods for determining the depreciation on
      property and equipment.

      CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid
      investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
      equivalents.

      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - The Company maintains deposits in banks
      which may exceed the amount of federal deposit insurance available.
      Management believes that the risk of any possible deposit loss is minimal.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  (continued)

      NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
      FASB) issued SFAS No. 121 entitled IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS which
      is effective beginning in 1996. SFAS No. 121 specifies certain events and
      circumstances which indicate the cost of an asset or assets may be
      impaired, the method by which the evaluation should be performed and the
      method by which writedowns, if any, of the asset or assets are to be
      determined and recognized. SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact on
      the Company's financial condition or operating results upon
      implementation.

      The FASB also issued SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED
      COMPENSATION, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
      1995. This statement allows companies to choose to adopt the statement's
      new rules for accounting for employee stock-based compensation plans. For
      those companies which choose not to adopt the new rules, the statement
      required disclosures as to what earnings and earnings per share would have
      been if the new rules had been adopted. SFAS No. 123 did not have a
      material impact on the Company's financial condition or operating results
      upon implementation.

      UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION: The balance sheet as of February 28, 1997
      and the statements of income and retained earnings for the two months
      ended February 28, 1996 and 1997 (February 29 for 1996, but is presented
      herein as February 28), were taken from the Company's books and records
      without audit. However, in the opinion of management, such information
      includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals),
      which are necessary to properly reflect the financial position of the
      Company as of February 28, 1997, and the results of its operations and its
      cash flows for the two months ended February 28, 1996 and 1997. The
      results of operation for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
      indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

5.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

      In January 1992, the Company entered into a five-year lease agreement with
      the president of the Company for the lease of real property located in
      Jennings, Louisiana. In December 1996, the Company signed a three-year
      renewal extending the lease term through December 31, 1999, at a lease
      rate of $5,000 per month. Rent expense was $60,000 for the years ended
      December 31, 1995 and 1996.

      Effective January 1992, the Company entered into separate five-year
      employment agreements with three of its officers. As part of the
      agreement, the Company agreed to pay an annual performance bonus equal to
      30% of annual adjusted earnings before interest and taxes in excess of
      $500,000. The bonus was not to exceed an aggregate of $800,000 during the
      term of the agreements, which aggregate was met during 1996. In addition,
      the officers agreed not to compete with the Company for the three years
      subsequent to the expiration of the agreement. Effective November 1996,
      the Company entered into new two-year employment agreements with the same
      three officers. As part of these agreements, the Company has agreed to pay
      the three officers collectively, an annual performance bonus equal to 2%
      of the Company's adjusted earnings before interest and taxes, as defined.

5.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

      For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company recognized
      expenses of approximately $240,000 and $208,000, respectively, related to
      these bonus agreements.

6.    MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

      The Company's ten largest customers generated approximately 84% and 80% of
      its revenues for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
      The largest customer represented 18% and 17% of the Company's revenues for
      the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

      Three customers (representing in excess of 10% individually) had balances
      that approximated 60% and 44% of the outstanding accounts receivable at
      December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and two customers approximated
      51% at February 28, 1997. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its
      customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company assesses
      its credit risk and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which it
      deems doubtful of collection.

7.    BENEFIT PLAN:

      The Company participates in CESI's defined contribution 401(k) plan
      covering substantially all of its employees who have completed one year of
      service. The Company makes contributions to the Plan at its discretion and
      such contributions vest to the participants over a five-year period. The
      Company made contributions to the Plan during the years ended December 31,
      1995 and 1996, of approximately $32,000 and $28,000, respectively.


8.    CREDIT FACILITY:

      In September 1995, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility
      with a bank. This facility allowed the Company to borrow an amount
      relative to certain current assets, up to a maximum of $500,000. The
      interest rate charged was the bank's prime rate plus 3/4% and was payable
      monthly. The Company had no outstanding amounts at December 31, 1995 under
      this facility, which was canceled in December 1996.


9.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

      The Company's financial instruments consist of trade receivables and
      payables. The Company believes the carrying value of these financial
      instruments approximate their estimated fair value.

                        PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

      The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the
acquisition by Industrial Holdings, Inc. ("IHI") of Manifold Valve Service, Inc.
("MVS") in a transaction accounted for as a purchase which closed March 1997.
The allocation of purchase price is based on preliminary information currently
available and will be revised as necessary prior to the issuance of the 1997
financial statements, although no material adjustments are anticipated.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income are
based on the income statements of IHI in the 1996 Annual Report filed on Form
10-K and in the Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the
statements of income for LSS-Lone Star Houston, Inc. ("Lone Star") for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and the month ended January 31, 1997 (not presented
separately herein), the income statement of American Rivet Company, Inc.
("American") for the ten months ended October 31, 1996 (not presented separately
herein) and the income statement of MVS for the year-ended December 31, 1996 and
the two month period ended February 28, 1997. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of income combine the results of operations of IHI, Lone
Star, American and MVS for the year ended December 31, 1996 as if the
acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1996 and combine the results of
operations of IHI, Lone Star and MVS for the three months ended March 31, 1997
as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1997.

      These unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of IHI in
the 1996 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and in the Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 and the financial statements of American filed with
Form 8-K/A dated November 18, 1996, Lone Star filed with Form 8-K/A dated
February 6, 1997 and MVS included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

ITEM 2.    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

           (a)   ACQUISITION OF BOLT MANUFACTURING CO., INC.

           Effective November 1, 1997, Industrial Holdings, Inc., a Texas
corporation (the "Company") acquired all the capital stock of Bolt Manufacturing
Co., Inc. doing business as WALKER BOLT Manufacturing Company ("WALKER"), a
Texas corporation, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement by and
among the Company and Ralph Walker, Jr. and David Introligator (the
"Shareholders"), the sole shareholders of WALKER.

           WALKER manufactures specialty fasteners (which include bolts, screws,
nuts and washers), to order, in small quantities for quick delivery. Its
customers are primarily distributors which sell to refineries, chemical plants,
pulp mills and others in the United States and Canada.

           The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") of the capital stock was $5
million cash, plus the repayment at closing of $1 million in notes payable by
WALKER to the Shareholders (the "Shareholder Notes"), plus the assumption of
liabilities. The purchase price was determined through arm's-length negotiations
between the Company and the Shareholders which had no pre-existing relationship
with the Company or any of its affiliates, directors, officers or associates
outside the normal course of business. The purchase price was financed as
described below.

           In connection with the acquisition of WALKER, the Company entered
into with Heller Financial, Inc. ("Heller") an $8 million term note at LIBOR
(currently 5.63%) plus 2.5%, payable in installments of principal plus interest
over six years (the "Heller Note"). The Heller Note is secured by certain
machinery and equipment of the Company. Proceeds of $2.1 million from the Heller
Note were used to retire existing term notes payable to Comerica Bank - Texas
("Comerica"). The remaining proceeds, or $5.9 million, were used to finance a
portion of the purchase price of WALKER and repay the Shareholder Notes. The
remainder of the purchase price was financed through an increase in the
Company's existing Line of Credit Facility and Demand Note ("Demand Note") with
Comerica.

        shown on their tax returns. The Shareholders shall bear full
        responsibility for the payment of any and all taxes which are owed by
        them. Except for an audit performed prior to the S Period of which there
        were no adverse results, there are no currently pending audits,
        inquiries, investigations or examinations relating to any of the
        Shareholders tax returns pending, and there are no claims which have
        been asserted relating to any of the Shareholders tax returns which if
        determined adversely would result in the assertion by any governmental
        entity of any tax deficiency against the Company. Since acquiring the
        Shares of the Company, there have been no waivers or extensions of
        statutes of limitations by the Shareholders. All other state, county and
        local and other taxes, including without limitation, income taxes,
        payroll taxes,

                                        6
<PAGE>
        corporate franchise taxes, sales, excise and use taxes and ad valorem
        taxes, due and payable by the Company for the periods ended prior to the
        Closing Date have been paid (or reserved for) and there is no further
        liability other than the reserve (whether or not disclosed on its
        returns) for any taxes relating to such periods, and no interest or
        penalties have accrued or are accruing with respect thereto. The Company
        has timely filed in correct form all tax returns and reports required to
        be filed by it on or before the date of this Agreement with all such
        taxing authorities. The current liability for state and local taxes
        reflected on the Company's Financial Statements, if any, represents at
        the date thereof, reasonable and adequate provision for the payment of
        all accrued and unpaid current state and local taxes of the Company.
        Other than those owing for the current period, no Federal taxes are due
        and owing by the Company. No assessments of deficiencies have been made
        against the Company, and no extensions of time are in effect for the
        filing of any returns or the assessment of deficiencies. No examinations
        by the IRS of the Federal income tax returns of the Company for any
        taxable year are presently pending. The Shareholders have delivered to
        the Purchaser true and complete copies of all of the Company's Federal
        Income Tax Returns and payroll tax returns of the Company for each of
        its fiscal years that Purchaser has requested. In the event that after
        the Closing Date a deficiency is determined in the amount of Federal,
        state or local tax payable by the Company, which deficiency relates to
        periods prior to the Effective Date, then in that event, the
        Shareholders, in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 11
        hereof, shall be fully responsible for and shall indemnify and hold the
        Purchaser and the Company harmless from the payment of any such
        deficiency, tax liability, penalty, interest, loss, costs, expenses or
        claim (including attorney and accountant fees) with respect thereto.

        The Shareholders shall cause the Election to be filed with the IRS
        within fourteen (14) days after the Purchaser furnishes the Shareholders
        with an allocation of the Purchase Price acceptable to Purchaser and
        Shareholders.

        other party is in default under any one or more of the Contracts nor has

        seals and other corporate books, records, data and papers of the
        Company.

        (c) COVENANT AGAINST COMPETITION. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that

<PAGE>
        Effective Date, he will not, directly or indirectly, for a period of
        five (5) years, but not to exceed the maximum period allowed by law, (1)
        own, operate, engage in or be interested in, affiliated or connected
        with (other than by purchasing securities on a national securities
        exchange or established over-the-counter market) any person, firm,
        corporation or other entity (except for the Purchaser or any subsidiary
        thereof) operating or purporting to operate any business in the States
        of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida (the "Restricted
        Territory") (but not to exceed the maximum area permitted by law) which
        competes in any manner with the business of the Company as of the
        Closing Date, including the manufacture of specialty nuts, bolts and
        studs used primarily in the energy industry (the "Company's Business
        Activity"); or (2) solicit or accept (either on his own account or as
        the agent of another person) the business of any person in connection
        with the Company's Business Activity in the Restricted Territory, such
        person having been a customer of the Company for such goods or services

        induce, solicit or endeavor to entice any person to leave the service or

        confused with such trade name) used by the Company at any time during
        the four (4) years immediately preceding the Effective Date. Each
        Shareholder hereby acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions are
        reasonable in scope and necessary for the protection of the goodwill of
        the Company and that a breach of this covenant would cause Purchaser and
        the Company substantial damage impossible of precise determination.
        Accordingly, in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be
        available to the Purchaser and the Company in the event of any breach,
        actual or threatened, of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c),
        the Purchaser and the Company (or any successor or successors thereof),
        shall be entitled to enjoin such breach, actual or threatened. Each
        Shareholder further agrees that should any portion of the foregoing
        covenant be unenforceable because of the scope thereof or the period
        covered thereby or otherwise, the covenant shall be deemed to be reduced
        and limited to enable it to be enforced to the extent permissible under
        the laws and public policies in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is
        sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this
        paragraph shall in any manner, and at any time, affect, restrict or
        limit (y) Shareholder Introligator (or an entity to which he is related)
        from continuing to conduct, participate or take part in, to any extent,
        the liquidation business, including, but not limited to, the liquidation
        or sale of machinery or equipment similar to the machinery or equipment
        owned by the Company, or used in connection with the Company's Business
        Activity; or (z) Shareholder Walker from owning or being involved with
        Ameritech.

        (d) CONSENTS. The Shareholders and the Company shall obtain all
        approvals and consents which must be obtained in order to effectuate the
        transaction contemplated hereby and to satisfy the terms and conditions

                (ii) any breach, non-compliance or nonfulfillment by any
                Shareholder of any covenant, agreement or undertaking to be
                complied with or performed by them contained herein or pursuant
                to this Agreement; provided however, the breach by a Shareholder
                of the covenant set forth in Section 5(c) above shall not give
                rise to a joint and several indemnity obligation of both
                Shareholders, but rather the Shareholder violating such covenant
                shall be solely obligated to defend, indemnify and hold harmless
                the Purchaser and the Company for any loss, damages, liability
                or expense resulting therefrom;

                                              18

                (iii) any Federal, state or local income tax liability
                (including any penalty and interest thereon) of the Company (1)
                with respect to taxable periods of the Company ending on or
                before the Effective Date; (2) with respect to taxable periods
                of the Company beginning before the Effective Date and ending
                after the Effective Date to the extent attributable to the
                income, assets, operations or reporting requirements of the
                Company prior to the Effective Date; (3) which are imposed upon
                the Purchaser as a result of any breach of warranty or
                misrepresentation under Section 3(f); and (4) which the
                Shareholders are obligated to indemnify Purchaser and the
                Company pursuant to Section 3(f) hereof; and

                (iv) any liability arising out of any and all actions, suits,
                proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses
                (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) incident to any
                of the foregoing items in this Section 11(a).

        (b) PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CLAIMS. If and whenever the Purchaser desires
        to claim indemnification from the Shareholder pursuant to the provisions
        of this Section 11, the Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the
        Shareholders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board or Chief
        Executive Officer of the Purchaser (the "Notice of Claim") stating that
        the Purchaser or the Company, their successors and assigns, has paid or
        properly accrued losses, damages or expenses in an aggregate stated
        amount to which the Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to
        this Section 11, provided, however, such notice shall be given prior to
        the payment of an indemnity item if reasonable in light of the
        circumstances causing, or threatening to cause, a loss, and specifying
        the individual items of loss, damage or expense included in the amount
        so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued and the
        nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or claim to which
        such item is related, provided, however, failure to notify the
        Shareholders shall relieve the Shareholders from liability only if they
        are prejudiced thereby. The Shareholders shall have the right to contest
        (prior to payment or entry of an agreement to pay) and defend any claim
        by a third party at the expense of the Shareholders. The Purchaser
        and/or the Company, as the case may be, shall provide to the
        Shareholders prompt and complete disclosure of all pertinent information
        in the possession of or available to the Purchaser or the Company and
        shall extend full and timely assistance and cooperation in the
        investigation and defense of the claim, suit or action, with respect to
        which such indemnification is claimed. Shareholders, in the defense of
        any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, shall not con sent to the
        entry of any judgment or decree except with the written consent of
        Purchaser or the Company, nor enter into any settlement (except the
        written consent of the Purchaser or the Company) which does not include
        as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
        to Purchaser or the Company of a release from every liability in respect
        of such claim, suit, action or proceeding. In any defense of any claim
        by a third party, Purchaser and Company shall have the right (but shall
        not be obligated) to participate in such defense through counsel of its
        own selection and at its own expense. Provided, however, should a
        dispute arise between Purchaser, Shareholders and/or Company regarding
        how the defense of such claim should be handled, the decision of the
        Shareholders shall control.

        (c) INDEMNIFICATION THRESHOLD AND LIMITATION OF SHAREHOLDERS'
        INDEMNIFICATION LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this
        Section 11, Purchaser agrees not to make claims for Losses hereunder
        unless and until the aggregate of such claims exceeds One Hundred
        Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "Indemnification
        Threshold"); provided however, that (i) the Indemnification Threshold
        shall not be applicable to claims by Purchaser for Losses arising from a
        breach by any Shareholder of Sections 3(a), (c), (f) and (i), and any
        claim arising from a breach of any provision of any such Section shall
        not be taken into account for purposes of determining when the
        Indemnification Threshold has been met, and (ii) in no event shall the
        Shareholders' joint and several 
                                        
                                       19
<PAGE>
        liability under this Section 11 exceed the aggregate sum of One Million
        and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and (iii) the Shareholders'
        liability under this Section 11 applies only to claims made against the
        Purchaser and/or the Company on or before October 31, 1999.

        12. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE PURCHASER AND RELATED MATTERS.

        (a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE PURCHASER. The Purchaser agrees to defend,
        indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholders, their respective
        successors, assigns and personal representatives, from, against and in
        respect of any and all loss, damages, liability or expense, including
        reasonable fees for attorneys and other outside consultants
        (collectively, the "Losses") resulting from:

                (i) the breach by the Purchaser of any of its covenants or
                warranties, or the inaccuracy of any of its representations
                contained herein;

                (ii) any claims or causes of action asserted after the Effective
                Date against either Shareholder pertaining to any action taken
                thereby which was legally within the scope and duty of such
                Shareholder's authority as an officer and director of the
                Company; and

                (iii) any liability arising out of any and all actions, suits,
                proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses
                (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) incident to any
                of the foregoing items of this Section 12(a).

        (b) PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CLAIMS. If and whenever the Shareholders
        (collectively and individually) desire to claim indemnification from the
        Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12, the
        Shareholders shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser a certificate
        signed by the Shareholders (the "Notice of Claim") stating that the
        Shareholders, their heirs, personal representatives, successors or
        assigns, have paid or properly accrued losses, damages or expenses in an
        aggregate stated amount to which the Shareholders is entitled to
        indemnification pursuant to this Section 12, and specifying the
        individual items of loss, damage or expense included in the amount so
        stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued and the
        nature of the misrep resentation, breach of warranty or claim to which
        such item is related, provided, however, failure to notify the Purchaser
        shall relieve the Purchaser from liability only if it is prejudiced
        thereby. The Purchaser shall have the right to contest (prior to payment
        or entry into an agreement to pay) and defend any claim by a third party
        at the expense of the Purchaser. The Shareholders shall provide to the
        Purchaser prompt and complete disclosure of all pertinent information in
        the possession of or available to the Shareholders and shall extend full
        and timely assistance in the cooperation in the investigation of the
        defense of the claim, suit or action, with respect to which such
        indemnification is claimed. The Purchaser, in the defense of any such
        claim, suit, action or proceeding, shall not con sent to the entry of
        any judgment or decree except with the written consent of the
        Shareholders nor enter into any settlement (except with the written
        consent of the Shareholders) which does not include as an unconditional
        term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Shareholders
        of a release from every liability in respect of such claim, suit, action
        or proceeding. In any defense of any claim by a third party, the
        Shareholders shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to
        participate in such defense through counsel of their own selection and
        at their own expense. Provided, however, should a dispute arise between
        the Purchaser and the Shareholders regarding how the defense of such
        claim should be handled, the decision of the Purchaser shall control.

        (i) ARBITRATION PROCEDURE. In the event of disputes between the parties

        ("AAA") (or any like organization successor thereto) in Houston, Texas.
        Such arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in as expedited a manner
        as is then permitted by the commercial arbitration rules (formal or
        informal) of the AAA, and the arbitrator or arbitrators in any such
        arbitration (an "Arbitration") shall be persons who are expert in the
        subject matter of the dispute. Both the foregoing agreement of the
        parties to arbitrate any and all claims, and the results, determination,

        be final and binding on the parties hereto and may be specifically
        enforced by legal proceedings. The parties agree and acknowledge that
        money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the
        provisions of this Agreement and that any party may, in its sole
        discretion, ask for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in
        order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this
        Agreement.

        selected in accordance with the rules of the AAA. Each party shall bear
        separately the cost of their respective attorneys, witnesses and experts
        in connection with such Arbitration. Time is of the essence of this
        arbitration procedure, and the arbitrators shall be instructed and
        required to render their decision within ten (10) days following
        completion of the Arbitration.

        Any and all legal proceedings to enforce this Agreement (including any
        action to compel arbitration hereunder or to enforce any award or
        judgment rendered thereby) shall governed by Texas law.

        (j) DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES ACT AND REAL ESTATE FRAUD WAIVER.
        Purchaser expressly waives the applicability of Chapter 17 of the Texas
        Business and Commerce Code Sections 17.41 et. seq. - the Texas Deceptive
        Trade Practices Act (the "DTPA") and chapter 27.01 of the Texas Business
        and Commerce Code - the Real Estate Fraud Act (the "Act") with respect
        to this transaction, to the greatest extent allowed. Purchaser
        acknowledges that all elements necessary for an enforceable waiver exist
        in this transaction. Specifically, Purchaser represents and warrants as
        follows:

                (i) Purchaser is not in a significantly disparate bargaining
                position;

                (ii) Purchaser is represented by competent, experience legal
                counsel;

                (iii) This transaction does not involve the purchase or lease of
                a family residence;

                (iv) The Purchase Price exceeds $500,000.00; and

                (v) Purchaser expressly intends to waive the provisions of the
                DTPA.

        Purchaser also represents and warrants that it is a business consumer
        with ample knowledge and bargaining power in this transaction. The
        execution of this waiver shall not be interpreted to imply that this
        transaction is otherwise within the ambit of the DTPA or the Act.
        Purchaser has directed its legal counsel to execute a copy of this
        Agreement solely for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of the
        Act and for no other purpose. Purchaser acknowledges that it has fully
        and completely discussed this waiver with its legal counsel and with
        full knowledge instructs its legal counsel to execute the acknowledgment
        required to waive the DTPA and the Act.

Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheets of Bolt Manufacturing Co., Inc.

   Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed at
   rates sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated
   useful lives using the straight-line method. Depreciation is based on the
   following estimated useful lives:

          Machinery and equipment                   5 - 7 years
          Office equipment                              5 years
          Furniture and fixtures                        5 years

   INCOME TAX

   The Company is taxed under the S Corporation provisions of the Internal
   Revenue Code. Under these provisions, the Company is not liable for federal
   corporate income taxes. Instead, the shareholders are liable for individual
   federal income taxes on the Company's taxable income.

   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

   The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of
   three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are deposits in excess of
   federally insured limits.

   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.

NOTE 2 - OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases its warehouse and office facilities and certain equipment
under operating lease agreements. At December 31, 1996, the future minimum
rental payments required under the leases were as follows:

NOTE 6 - UNAUDITED INTERIM STATEMENTS

The financial statements as of September 30, 1997, and for the six months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim
periods have been made. Accounting estimates at interim dates inherently involve
greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The results for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full
fiscal year.

                        PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

        The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to
the November 1997 acquisition by the Company of Bolt Manufacturing Co., Inc.
doing business as WALKER BOLT Manufacturing Co. ("WALKER") in a transaction
accounted for as a purchase. The allocation of purchase price is based on
preliminary information currently available and will be revised as necessary.
The estimated purchase price adjustments are subject to completion of asset
appraisals, the final determination of certain tax liabilities, differences
between the estimated and actual costs of professional fees and adjustments to
certain other accruals.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is based on
the September 30, 1997 balance sheets of the Company included in the Report on
Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and of WALKER included
in the financial statements of WALKER appearing elsewhere in this Report on Form
8-K, and has been prepared to reflect the acquisition of WALKER as if the
acquisition had been consummated at September 30, 1997. The acquisitions of Lone
Star and MVS were completed in the first quarter of 1997 and their balance
sheets as of September 30, 1997 are included in that of the Company.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations
are based on the income statements of the Company, American, Lone Star and MVS
(not presented separately herein) and WALKER appearing elsewhere in this Report
on Form 8-K as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period
presented. Such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
combine (i) the audited operating results for the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and the unaudited operating results for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 (ii) the audited operating results of MVS for the year ending
December 31, 1996 and the unaudited results of operations for the two-months
ended February 28, 1997; (iii) the audited operating results of Lone Star for
the year ended December 31, 1996; (iv) the unaudited operating results of
American for the period from January 1, 1996 through September 30, 1996; and (v)
the audited operating results of WALKER for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
the unaudited operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
The results of operations for the one month ended January 31, 1997 for Lone Star
and one month ended October 31, 1996 for American have not been presented based
upon management's belief that such would not be significant to the pro forma
statements of operations.

        The Company acquired WALKER effective November 1, 1997, MVS on March 1,
1997, Lone Star on February 1, 1997 and American on November 1, 1996 and the
operating results subsequent to the date of acquisition are reflected in the
Company's historical information for the periods presented.

        The pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative
either of the results of operations that would have occurred had the purchase
been made at the beginning of the periods presented or future results of
operations of the combined companies. These unaudited pro forma financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements and notes thereto of the Company included in its 1996 Annual Report
on Form 10-K and in its Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
1997, the financial statements of American filed with Form 8-K/A dated November
18, 1996, Lone Star filed with Form 8-K/A dated February 6, 1997, MVS filed with
Form 8-K/A dated June 12, 1997 and WALKER included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Texas corporation,
AMERICAN RIVET COMPANY, Inc., an Illinois corporation, LSS-LONE STAR-HOUSTON,
INC., a Texas corporation, and BOLT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC., a Texas
corporation (collectively, "Maker"), jointly and severally, promises to pay to
the order of HELLER FINANCIAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with any
holder of this Note, "Payee"), at its office located at 500 West Monroe Street,
Chicago, Illinois 60661, or at such other place as Payee may from time to time
designate, the principal sum of Eight Million and 00/100 Dollars
($8,000,000.00), together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the
One Month LIBOR Rate (hereafter defined), plus two and 50/100 percent (2.50%),
payable in seventy-two (72) consecutive monthly installments of principal plus
interest commencing January 1, 1998, and continuing on the same day of each
consecutive calendar month thereafter until this Note is fully paid. Subject to
adjustment in accordance with the next sentence in the event of the Mandatory
Prepayment (as defined in Section 3 of the Security Agreement (defined below)),
the first seventy-one (71) such monthly installments shall each be in the
principal amount of One Hundred Eleven Thousand One Hundred Eleven and 12/100
Dollars ($111,111.12), plus accrued interest, and the final monthly installment
shall be in the amount of the entire then outstanding principal balance
hereunder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, charges and other amounts owing
hereunder or under the Security Agreement (defined below). Notwithstanding
anything else in this Note, if Maker makes the Mandatory Prepayment, each
consecutive monthly installment payment hereunder shall thereafter be in an
equal amount of principal, plus accrued interest, provided, however that the
final monthly installment shall be in the amount of the entire then outstanding
principal balance hereunder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, charges and
other amounts owing hereunder or under the Security Agreement. All payments
shall be applied first to interest and then to principal. Interest shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of
days elapsed. Maker shall make an interest only initial payment on December 1,
1997 of all accrued interest from the date of this Note through November 30,
1997.

     For purposes of this Note, the term "One Month LIBOR Rate" means, for each
calendar month, a rate of interest equal to:

           (a) the rate of interest determined by Payee at which deposits in
U.S. Dollars are offered for the one (1) month interest period based on
information presented on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page as of 11:00 A.M. (London
time) on the day which is two (2) business days (not counting Saturdays) prior
to the first day of each calendar month; provided that if at least two (2) such
offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page in respect of such interest
period, the arithmetic mean of all such rates (as determined by Payee) will be
the rate used; provided further that if there are fewer than two (2) offered
rates or Reuters ceases to provide LIBOR quotations, such rate shall be
the average rate of interest determined by Payee at which deposits in U.S.
Dollars are offered for the one 

                                      Ex-4
<PAGE>
(1) month interest period by Bankers Trust Company and Chase Bank, N. A. (or
their respective successors) to banks with combined capital and surplus in
excess of $500,000,000 in the London interbank market as of 11:00 A.M. (London
time) on the applicable interest rate determination date, divided by

           (b) a number equal to 1.0 minus the aggregate (but without
duplication) of the rates (expressed as a decimal fraction) of reserve
requirements in effect on the day which is two (2) business days prior to the
beginning of each calendar month (including, without limitation, basic,
supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves under any regulations of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other governmental authority
having jurisdiction with respect thereto, as now and from time to time in
effect) for Eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as "Eurocurrency
liabilities" in Regulation D of such Board) which are required to be maintained
by a member bank of the Federal Reserve System;

     (Such rate to be adjusted to the nearest one sixteenth of one percent (1/16
of 1%) or, if there is no nearest one sixteenth of one percent (1/16 of 1%), to
the next higher one sixteenth of one percent (1/16 of 1%)).

     For the initial funding month (or any fraction thereof) under this Note,
the interest rate hereunder shall be the One Month LIBOR Rate in effect on the
day of funding, plus Two and 50/100 percent (2.50%).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time implementation of any
provision hereof shall cause the interest contracted for or charged herein or
collectable hereunder to exceed the applicable lawful maximum rate, then the
interest shall be limited to such applicable lawful maximum.

     This Note is secured by the collateral described in the Security Agreement
dated November 10, 1997, between Maker and Payee (the "Security Agreement;" and
together with all related documents and instruments, the "Loan Documents") to
which reference is made for a statement of the nature and extent of protection
and security afforded, certain rights of Payee and certain rights and
obligations of Maker, including Maker's rights and obligations, if any, to
prepay the principal balance hereof.

     Time is of the essence hereof. If payment of any installment or any other
sum due under this Note or the Loan Documents is not paid within ten (10) days
of its hen due date, Maker agrees to pay a late charge equal to the lesser of
(i) five cents (5(cent)) per dollar on, and in addition to, the amount of each
such payment, or (ii) the maximum amount Payee is permitted to charge by law. In
the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Security
Agreement), then the entire unpaid principal balance hereof with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, together with all other sums payable under this Note or
the Loan Documents, shall, at the option of Payee and without notice or demand,
become immediately due and payable, such accelerated balance bearing interest
until paid at the rate of Three Five and 50/100 percent (35.50%) per annum above
the then otherwise applicable interest rate hereunder.

become liable for the payment hereof hereby consent to any and all extensions of
time, renewals, waivers and modifications of, and substitutions or release of
security or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on, or with respect to,
this Note or any of the Loan Documents or any of the terms and provisions
thereof that may be made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agree that suit
may be brought and maintained against any one or more of them, at the election
of Payee, without joinder of the others as parties thereto, and that Payee shall
not be required to first foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security
herefor, in order to enforce payment of this Note by any one or more of them.
Maker and all endorsers, guarantors or any others who may at any time become
liable for the payment hereof hereby severally waive presentment, demand for
payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor,
and all other notices in connection with this Note, filing of suit and diligence
in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security herefor, and, without
limiting any provision of any of the Loan Documents, agree to pay, if permitted
by law, all expenses incurred in collection, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, and hereby waive all benefits of valuation, appraisement and exemption
laws.

     If there be more than one Maker, all the obligations, promises, agreements
and covenants of Maker under this Note are joint and several.

     THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, WITHOUT REGARD TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. AT PAYEE'S ELECTION AND WITHOUT LIMITING PAYEE'S
RIGHT TO COMMENCE AN ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, MAKER HEREBY SUBMITS TO
THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY COURT (FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL)
HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, EXPRESSLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF
