RISK FACTORS
THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVE MATERIAL RISKS. IN
ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, PROSPECTIVE
INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE MAKING AN
INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
3
<PAGE>
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. 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, 1998, the Company had working capital of $24,754,679,
long-term debt of $45,775,754, shareholders' equity of $64,827,167 and
availability under its line of credit agreement of $9,174,834 under its credit
facilities with Comerica Bank - Texas. The Company anticipates that its
operating cash needs for fiscal 1998 can be met with cash generated from
operations, borrowings under its credit facilities with Comerica Bank-Texas and
private placements of equity and debt securities. 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. All payables are settled in U.S. dollars.
4
<PAGE>
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.
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 and Thomas C. Landreth, President - Fastener Manufacturing and
Sales Division. The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs.
Cone 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 and officers of the
Company own or exercise voting control of approximately 18% of the Company's
outstanding shares and are therefore able to elect a majority of the Company's
Board of Directors and to control 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 reserve stream may not be as
secure as if they 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. Certain of
the Company's outstanding debt instruments currently prohibit the Company from
paying dividends. See "Dividend Policy."
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,
5
<PAGE>
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 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.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. This registration statement includes "forward
looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in
this registration statement are forward looking statements. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are
reasonable, it can given no assurance that such expectations reflected in such
forward looking statements will prove to have been correct. The ability to
achieve the Company's expectations is contingent upon a number of factors which
include demand for the Company's products, need for additional capital for newly
acquired companies and the Company's ability to complete new acquisitions.

In January 1998, the Company completed an offer (the "Offer") to the
holders of its issued and outstanding Class B Warrants to exchange each Class B
Warrant and $10.00 cash for one share of the Company's Common Stock, one Class C
Warrant and one Class D Warrant. The holders of 1,101,689 Class B Warrants
tendered their Class B Warrants and purchased 1,101,689 shares of Common Stock
and were issued 1,101,689 Class C Warrants and 1,101,689 Class D Warrants. The
Company received net proceeds of $10,825,000 after deducting approximately
$210,000 of expenses incurred in connection with the Offer.
In February 1998, the Company acquired all the capital stock of Philform,
Inc. ("Philform") and certain leased operating assets for 419,773 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $4,520,000. Simultaneously, Philform

limited partnership (the "Partnership"), in exchange for a 49% limited
partnership interest. Philform's 1997 revenues were $13.4 million. After the

conducted by the Partnership.
In March 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of WHIR Acquisition, Inc., doing business as Ameritech Fastener Manufacturing,
Inc. ("Ameritech"), in exchange for 124,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, upon merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into
Ameritech, with Ameritech being the surviving corporation (the "Ameritech
Merger"). As a result, Ameritech became a wholly owned subsidiary of the

to the aerospace, automotive, petroleum and petrochemical industries.
Ameritech's 1997 revenues were $1.7 million.
In March 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of

<PAGE>
molded rubber products and distributes industrial packing, hose, fittings and
high temperature textiles to customers in the petrochemical industries.
In April 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of Moores Pump and Supply, Inc. ("Moores"), in exchange for 1,600,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, upon merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company with and into Moores, with Moores being the surviving corporation (the

pumps and packers to the energy industry, as well as provides fabrication,
repair and machine shop services to its customers.
In July 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of

"Convertible Debenture").
In July 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Shareholders may offer the Shares subject to this Prospectus
for resale from time to time in one or more offerings through underwriters,
dealers or agents or directly to one or more purchasers in fixed-price offerings
or in negotiated transactions and at either current market prices or at prices
related to such market price. Resales by the purchasers of such shares may be
made in the same manner.
The Selling Shareholders have represented to the Company that they have no
current arrangements with any broker-dealer and that they will comply with
Regulation M under the Exchange Act. If underwriters are used in any offering of
the Shares, such underwriters will be named in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement. Only underwriters named in a Prospectus Supplement will be deemed to
be underwriters in connection with the Shares. Firms not so named will have no
direct or indirect participation in the underwriting of the Shares, although
such a firm may participate in the distribution of such shares under
circumstances entitling it to a dealer's commission. Unless otherwise set forth
in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such offering, any underwriting
agreement pertaining to any offering of the Shares will (i) entitle the
underwriters to indemnification by the Company and the Selling Shareholders
against certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act, (ii) provide that
the obligations of the underwriters will be subject to certain conditions
precedent, and (iii) provide that the underwriters will be obligated to purchase
the Shares so offered if any such shares are purchased. If underwriters are used
in any offering of Shares, the names of such underwriters, the anticipated date
of delivery and other material terms of the transaction will be set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement relating to such offering.
The Company has been advised that the distribution of the Shares by the
Selling Shareholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors-in-interest of the Selling Shareholders, may be effected from time to
time in one or more transactions (which may involve block transactions) on
Nasdaq (if the Common Stock continues to be listed on Nasdaq) or in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or in a combination of such
methods of sale, at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated
prices. The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling the
Shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers acting as
principals or agents. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form
of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling
Shareholders or the purchasers of the Shares from whom broker-dealers may act as
agent or to whom they may sell as principal or both (which compensation, as to a
particular broker-dealer, may be less than or in excess of customary
commissions). Other methods by which the Shares may be sold include, without
limitation: (i) transactions which involve cross or block trades or any other
transaction permitted by the Nasdaq or other trading markets, (ii) "at the
market" to or through market makers or into an existing market for the Common
Stock, (iii) in other ways not involving market makers or established trading
markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales to purchasers or sales
effected through agents, (iv) through transactions in options or swaps or other
derivatives (whether exchange-listed or otherwise), (v) through short sales, or
(vi) any combination of any such methods or sale. The Selling Stockholders may
also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which
12
<PAGE>
require the delivery to such broker dealers of the Common Stock offered hereby,
in addition, the Shares covered by this Prospectus that subsequently qualify for
sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144
rather than pursuant to this Prospectus.
The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents who participate
in a sale of the Shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
such term under the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them, as
well as any proceeds from any sales as principal by them, may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Such
broker-dealers or agents may, under agreements with the Selling Shareholders, be
entitled to indemnification by the Company and the Selling Shareholders against
certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act. Certain purchasers to whom
the Selling Shareholders may sell shares in negotiated transactions may be
deemed to be underwriters with respect to any resale by them of shares so
acquired.
Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with or
perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of business.
LEGAL MATTERS
The legality of the securities offered hereby will be passed on for the
Company by Porter & Hedges, L.L.P., Houston, Texas.

ITEM 14. 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 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
<PAGE>
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.
II-2
<PAGE>
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 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.

ESTIMATED MAXIMUM OFFERING RANGE MAY BE REFLECTED IN THE FORM OF
PROSPECTUS FILED WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 424(B) IF, IN

(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

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

Re: INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC. - S-3 REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING 2,304,028
SHARES (THE "REGISTRATION STATEMENT")
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Industrial Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whereby resales of 2,304,028 shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") are registered. In such capacity we have examined the articles of
incorporation, bylaws and corporate proceedings of the Company, and based upon
such examination and having regard for applicable legal principles, it is our
opinion that the Shares are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of outstanding Common Stock.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and in the reference to our firm under the heading "Legal Matters" in
the Prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
