          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     We own and operate a diversified group of middle-market industrial
manufacturing and distribution businesses whose products include metal
fasteners, large and heavy pressure vessels, high pressure industrial valves and
related products and services. Operations are organized into three core business
segments: (i) fastener manufacturing and distribution; (ii) heavy fabrication;
and (iii) valve manufacturing and repair. Through a fourth segment, we also
distribute machine tools.

     Our historical financial statements have been restated to include, for all
periods presented, the results of operations from each of the companies that
were acquired in acquisitions accounted for under the pooling-of-interests
method. The results of operations for companies acquired in acquisitions
accounted for under the purchase method are included in our historical financial
statements from the date of such acquisition. Since these "purchase"
acquisitions were consummated at various times, the financial information
contained herein with respect to each fiscal period does not fully reflect the
results of operations that would have been achieved had these acquisitions been
consummated at the beginning of the periods presented or which may be achieved
in the future. In connection with each "purchase" acquisition, we have
recorded goodwill to the extent the purchase price exceeded the fair market
value of the specific net assets acquired.

     Our recent growth through acquisitions has created opportunities to reduce
costs and increase margins through integration of our operations. We may
consider (i) consolidating certain administrative functions and eliminating
redundant costs, (ii) consolidating selected facilities, (iii) capitalizing on
purchasing economies of scale and leveraging key vendor relationships, (iv)
pursuing intercompany supply arrangements by substituting our components for
those previously produced by outside vendors, (v) using the best practices of
our most efficient manufacturing plants throughout all of our facilities, (vi)
reducing working capital levels company-wide and (vii) selling non-strategic
assets.

     Our results of operations are affected by the level of economic activity in
the industries served by our customers, which in turn may be affected by other
factors, including the level of economic activity in the U.S. and foreign
markets they serve. The principal industries served by our clients are the
automotive, home furnishings, petrochemical and oil and gas industries. An
economic slowdown in these industries could result in a decrease in demand for
our products and services, which could adversely affect our operating results.
During 1998 and into 1999, oil and gas prices declined significantly, resulting
in a decrease in the demand for our products and services that are used in the
exploration and production of oil and gas. Exploration and production
expenditures generally lag improvements in oil and gas prices; therefore,
although oil and gas prices have improved during 1999, we have yet to experience
significant sales increases. Absent substantial increases in expenditures for
exploration and production, we expect demand for these products and services to
continue to remain depressed.

     In 1998, one of our operating units, IMSCO, was moved from the valve
manufacturing and repair segment to the fastener manufacturing and distribution
segment. As a result, 1997 and 1996 segment information has been restated to
reflect the change consistent with management's view of the operations of the
business.

     This section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere.

</TABLE>

     YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

     SALES.  On a consolidated basis sales increased $66,980,028 or 44% in 1998
compared to 1997.

     Sales for the fastener manufacturing and distribution segment increased
$30,930,214 or 39% in 1998 compared to 1997. This increase was primarily as a
result of the acquisitions of two companies in 1998 and the inclusion of a full
year of operations of two companies in 1998 that were acquired in 1997.

     The heavy fabrication segment was formed July 1, 1998 with the acquisition
of Beaird. Under the purchase method of accounting, no sales were recorded
relating to this segment prior to the second half of 1998. Sales for the six
months ended December 31, 1998 increased compared to the periods prior to the
acquisition of Beaird by approximately $13.1 million or 49% over the comparable
1997 period and $8.6 million or 27% over the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Sales increased based on a strategic decision to increase sales by expanding the
range of products manufactured.

     Sales for the valve manufacturing and repair segment decreased $2,642,503
or 5% in 1998 compared to 1997. This decrease was primarily due to a $3,487,015
decrease in sales at Blastco attributable to the assignment of demolition
contracts to AWR Acquisition, L.L.C. ("AWR"), a company in which we have a
33 1/3% interest. Our interest in the earnings from these contracts is included
in the earnings from equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The
decrease in sales at Blastco was partially offset by an $844,512 increase in
sales resulting from the inclusion of a full year of operations of two companies
acquired during 1997.

     Sales for the machine tool distribution segment decreased $1,319,155 or 8%
as demand for machine tools declined in the Texas Gulf Coast region.

                                       3

     COST OF SALES.  On a consolidated basis, cost of sales increased
$56,982,012 or 51% in 1998 compared to 1997. Cost of sales as a percentage of
sales was 77% in 1998 compared to 74% in 1997. Cost of sales as a percentage of
sales was higher on a consolidated basis primarily as a result of the addition
in 1998 of the heavy fabrication segment, which typically has lower gross
margins on its large contract business in comparison to our other segments.

     Cost of sales for the fastener manufacturing and distribution segment
increased $24,023,334 or 41% in 1998 compared to 1997. Cost of sales as a
percentage of sales remained relatively unchanged from 75% in 1998 compared to
74% in 1997.

     Cost of sales for the heavy fabrication segment as a percentage of sales
was 87% for the six months ended December 31, 1998. Gross margins were adversely
affected by the significant increase in sales during a period in which we were
unable to hire or retain adequate skilled workers due to the terms of our then
existing union contract that covered most of Beaird's workforce. The union
contract expired in November 1998 and the effectiveness of the workforce was
further reduced during the period of contract renegotiation. A new collective
bargaining agreement was entered into in late November 1998. We believe that the
terms of this agreement provides us with adequate flexibility to hire employees
with the appropriate skills. With the settlement of the contract and additional
new hires, Beaird experienced improvements in labor efficiency beginning in
December 1998. However, due to the increase in backlog during the third and
fourth quarters, the effects on gross margins in the fourth quarter of 1998
continued through the first six months of 1999 as Beaird reduced its backlog.

     Cost of sales for the valve manufacturing and repair segment decreased
$230,636 or 0.6% in 1998 compared to 1997. This decrease was primarily due to
the decrease in sales at Blastco described above, offset by the inclusion of a
full year of operations of two companies acquired during 1997. Cost of sales as
a percentage of sales was 72% in 1998 and 69% in 1997.

     Cost of sales for the machine tool distribution segment decreased
$1,586,609 or 12% in 1998 compared to 1997 primarily as a result of the decrease
in sales described above.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  On a consolidated basis,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9,473,773 or 33% in 1998
compared to 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fastener manufacturing
and distribution segment increased $5,557,613 or 38% primarily as the result of
acquisitions in the third quarter of 1998 and the inclusion of a full year of
operations of two companies in 1998 that were acquired in late 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses in the heavy fabrication
segment for the six months ended December 31, 1998 relate to Beaird's operations
during the second half of 1998 and were comparable to the historical amounts
prior to the acquisition of Beaird.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the valve manufacturing
and repair segment decreased $127,906 or 1% in 1998 compared to 1997. This was
primarily as the result of the elimination of the salary and related expenses of
the president of a company who resigned in connection with our acquisition of
the company.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the machine tool
distribution segment for 1998 did not change significantly from 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses at corporate increased
$802,466 or 91% in 1998 compared to 1997 primarily as a result of personnel
increases and increases in professional fees that have resulted from our growth.

     EARNINGS FROM EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES.  On a
consolidated basis, earnings from equity investments increased $2,204,651 in
1998 compared to 1997, primarily as a result of a full year of operations from
our investment in AWR which had in process two contracts for demolition and site
abatement and from our investment in O.F. Acquisition, L.L.C. ("O.F.") which
was entered into during 1998.

                                       4
<PAGE>
     INTEREST EXPENSE.  On a consolidated basis, interest expense increased
$2,587,616 or 94% in 1998 compared to 1997, primarily as a result of $57.7
million in debt assumed or incurred in connection with acquisitions in 1998.

     INTEREST INCOME.  On a consolidated basis, interest income increased
$361,541 or 226% in 1998 compared to 1997. Interest income was earned primarily
on the $10.9 million raised in January 1998 in connection with our offer to
Class B warrant holders, which was held in interest bearing accounts prior to
being used to repay debt and in acquisitions, as well as on notes receivable,
which have increased since 1997.

     OTHER INCOME, NET.  On a consolidated basis, other income, net increased
$1,049,648 or 322% in 1998 compared to 1997, primarily as a result of
recognition of income resulting from the sale of an interest in a demolition
contract to one of our equity investees.

     INCOME TAXES.  Income tax expense increased $621,530 or 18% in 1998
compared to 1997. The effective tax rate was 40% for 1998 and 1997.

     NET INCOME.  Net income was $6,134,229 in 1998 compared to $5,203,292 in
1997 as a result of the foregoing factors.

     YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

     SALES.  On a consolidated basis sales increased $51,822,256 or 52% in 1997
compared to 1996.

     Sales for the fastener manufacturing and distribution segment increased
$26,220,611 or 49% in 1997 compared to 1996. This was primarily as a result of
an acquisition in February 1997, the inclusion of a full year's operations of a
company acquired in November 1996 and a $3.8 million increase in sales at one of
our other operating subsidiaries within this segment, which was primarily
attributable to the strength of the energy sector in 1997. These increases were
partially offset by a $4.6 million decrease in sales at one of our operating
subsidiaries as a result of the loss of key salesmen in late 1996. By late 1997,
all key salesmen had been replaced and as a result, fourth quarter sales at this
subsidiary increased 21% over the third quarter and were only $198,000 less than
the fourth quarter of the preceding year.

     Sales for the valve manufacturing and repair segment increased $26,404,389
or 89% in 1997 compared to 1996, primarily as a result of an acquisition in
March 1997 and a $15.1 million increase in sales at our other operating
subsidiaries within this segment. Sales increases at these subsidiaries were
primarily attributable to the strength of the energy sector in 1997.

     Machine tool distribution segment sales decreased $802,744 or 5% primarily
because of delays in receipts of machine tools from manufacturers, which caused
some cancellation of orders by customers as well as deferral of shipments to
customers to 1998.

     COST OF SALES.  On a consolidated basis, cost of sales increased
$35,564,244 or 47% in 1997 compared to 1996. However, cost of sales as a
percentage of sales was 74% in 1997 compared to 76% in 1996.

     Cost of sales for the fastener manufacturing and distribution segment
increased $17,957,704 or 44% in 1997 compared to 1996, primarily as a result of
the acquisitions in 1997 and 1996 and a $2.4 million increase in cost of sales
at one of our other operating subsidiaries within this segment as a result of
the increase in sales described above. These increases were partially offset by
a decrease in cost of sales at one of our operating subsidiaries as a result of
the corresponding decrease in sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was
74% in 1997 compared to 77% in 1996. The 1996 cost of sales percentage was
unusually high because of the relocation of a manufacturing facility in late
1996 and the accompanying loss in production efficiency during the period of the
relocation.

     Cost of sales for the valve manufacturing and repair segment increased
$17,956,935 or 86% primarily as the result of an acquisition in March 1997 and
an $11.6 million increase in cost of sales at our other operating subsidiaries
within this segment as a result of the increase in sales described above. Cost
of sales as a percentage of sales was 69% in 1997 compared to 70% in 1996 as
higher margin sales were achieved as a result of the strength in the energy
sector during 1997.

                                       5
<PAGE>
     Cost of sales for the machine tool distribution segment decreased $350,395
or 3% as a result of the decrease in sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of
sales was 86% in 1997 compared to 84% in 1996. The increase in cost of sales as
a percentage of sales was primarily due to the opening in 1997 of a crating
facility located at the Houston Ship Channel and to increased lumber costs.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  On a consolidated basis,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9,573,099 or 50% in 1997
compared to 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fastener manufacturing
and distribution segment increased $5,833,066 or 65% primarily as the result of
the acquisitions in 1997 and 1996 and an $849,342 increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses at one of our other operating subsidiaries within
this segment. The increase at this subsidiary was the result of the increase in
sales described above. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased at
a greater percentage than sales because of the inclusion of goodwill
amortization associated with the acquisitions in 1997 and 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the valve manufacturing
and repair segment increased $3,317,028 or 45% primarily as the result of an
acquisition in March 1997 and a $2.2 million increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses at our other operating subsidiaries within this segment
due to increased sales. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses at one of our other operating
subsidiaries in this segment. This increase was less than the related increase
in sales as most costs at that subsidiary are accounted for as cost of sales.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the machine tool
distribution segment increased $337,612 or 16% for 1997 compared to 1996
primarily as a result of the hiring of four additional sales people in 1997.

     There was no significant change in corporate selling, general and
administrative expenses.

     LOSSES FROM EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES.  In 1997, we
recognized $60,520 in losses primarily related to an equity investment in a
recycling company.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  On a consolidated basis, interest expense increased
$707,868 or 35% in 1997 compared to 1996. The increase was the result of
increases in debt related to two acquisitions in November 1996 and February
1997. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense at
one of our other operating subsidiaries as a result of a $3,093,000 conversion
of debt to equity in 1997.

     INCOME TAXES.  Income taxes increased $2,452,275 or 239% in 1997 compared
to 1996. The effective tax rate for 1997 was 40% compared to 38% for 1996.

     NET INCOME.  Net income was $5,203,292 in 1997 compared to $1,705,567 in
1996 as a result of the foregoing factors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At December 31, 1998, we had working capital of $9,235,590, short-term debt
of $42,486,422, current maturities of long-term debt of $23,547,890, long-term
debt of $30,334,166 and shareholders' equity of $65,912,800. Historically, our
principal liquidity requirements and uses of cash have been for debt service,
capital expenditures, working capital and acquisition financing, and our
principal sources of liquidity and cash have been from cash flows from
operations, borrowings under long-term debt arrangements and issuances of equity
securities. We have financed acquisitions through bank borrowings, issuances of
equity and debt securities and internally generated funds.

     NET CASH USED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES.  For the year ended December 31,
1998, net cash used by operating activities was $5,136,596 compared to 1997 and
1996, which provided cash of $3,379,665 and $2,370,449. The cash used in 1998
was primarily as a result of the acquisition of Beaird and the related net
increases in receivables, inventory, other assets and accounts payable over
those acquired. Beaird's receivables and inventories increased as sales
increased for the six months ended December 31, 1998 compared to the six month
period ended June 30, 1998, which was prior to the Beaird acquisition.
Additionally, receivables and payables increased at Beaird as $7.0 million in
accounts receivable and all

                                       6
<PAGE>
liabilities were distributed to the seller prior to acquisition. Cash was
provided in 1997 and 1996 primarily because net income and depreciation and
amortization were greater than increases in current assets resulting from
increased sales.

     NET CASH USED BY INVESTING ACTIVITIES.  Principal uses of cash are for
capital expenditures and acquisitions. For 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company made
capital expenditures of $6,232,069, $4,959,872 and $4,225,273, respectively.
Other significant investing activities in 1998 included the sale of an interest
in a demolition contract for $2,100,000 and acquisitions. The aggregate cash
purchase price for acquisitions was $58.7 million in 1998, $18.9 million in 1997
and $11.4 million in 1996.

     NET CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES.  Our principal sources of cash
are from financing activities, including borrowings under our credit facilities,
and issuance of equity securities. Financing activities provided net cash of
$13,465,409 in 1998 compared to $1,389,565 in 1997 and $4,002,901 in 1996.
During 1998, we issued common stock providing net proceeds of $12,914,854
compared to net proceeds of $2,136,978 in 1997 and $6,248,281 in 1996. During
1998 we completed an offer to the holders of our Class B warrants to exchange
each Class B warrant and $10.00 cash for one share of common stock, one Class C
warrant and one Class D warrant, from which we received net proceeds of $10.9
million after deducting approximately $0.1 million of related expenses. The 1998
common stock proceeds were used to repay $1.6 million in term debt and to fund
acquisitions. During 1998, we borrowed $9,324,942 under our credit facilities
compared to $1,772,458 and $1,064,603 during 1997 and 1996.

     PRINCIPAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. As of December 31, 1998, we had an aggregate of
$96,368,478 borrowed under our principal bank credit facility and debt
instruments entered into or assumed in connection with acquisitions as well as
other bank financings. Of these borrowed amounts, $23,547,890 is scheduled to
mature during 1999. Certain of our debt arrangements contain requirements as to
the maintenance of minimum levels of working capital and net worth, minimum
ratios of debt to cash flow, cash flow to certain fixed charges, liabilities to
tangible net worth and capital expenditures. At December 31, 1998, March 31,
1999, and June 30, 1999, we were not in compliance with several of these
covenants; however, we obtained waivers for the non-compliance from those
lenders. In addition, as of December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, we were not in
compliance with certain non-financial covenants related to our ability to
provide financial support to Belleli Energy; however, in the second quarter of
1999 we obtained waivers for this noncompliance from our lenders. Although
management expects to be able to obtain waivers should there be further events
of non-compliance, no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain
future waivers from our lenders.

     Our existing credit facility is a revolving line of credit with Comerica
Bank -- Texas. The principal amount is the lesser of $45 million or a defined
borrowing base. The credit facility bears interest at the prime rate of Comerica
(which was 7.75% at December 31, 1998) or the Eurodollar rate as quoted by
Comerica Bank -- Livonia, MI, plus 2.5% and allows the borrowing of funds based
on 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible inventory. At
December 31, 1998, the borrowing capacity under the credit facility was $45
million and availability was $1.2 million. At March 31, 1999, the borrowing
capacity was $45 million and availability was $1.6 million.

     On June 17, 1999, we amended our credit facility. The principal amount of
our amended credit facility is the lesser of $55 million or a defined borrowing
base. Advances under the revolving line of credit bear interest, at out option,
at either (i) the prime rate in effect at the time of the advance (which was
7.75% at June 30, 1999) or (ii) an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus an amount
ranging from 2% to 2.75% based upon our ratios of senior debt to EBITDA. The
borrowing base is defined as 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of
eligible inventory subject to certain limitations. At June 30, 1999, the
borrowing capacity under the credit facility was $46.8 million and availability
was $3.1 million. The revolving line of credit matures on June 16, 2001.

     In connection with the acquisitions of businesses, we have entered into
various term loans secured by machinery, equipment and real estate of the
businesses acquired and issued a convertible debenture and obtained a loan from
a financial institution in the principal amount of $15 million that matures in
November 1999 in connection with the acquisition of Beaird. See Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

                                       7
<PAGE>
     BELLELI ENERGY.  In 1998, we entered into an option agreement that grants
us the right to purchase approximately 96% of Belleli Energy S.r.l.
("Belleli") through 2002. Belleli is an Italian company that manufactures
thick walled pressure vessels and heat exchangers, as well as designs,
engineers, constructs and erects components for desalination, electric power and
petrochemical plants. The option agreement calls for payments totaling
approximately $600,000 in 1999, $700,000 in 2000, $800,000 in 2001 and $400,000
in 2002. During the second quarter of 1999, the option agreement was amended to
include an additional option payment of $3 million, of which $2.6 million was
funded by a private placement of our common stock and the remainder from the
conversion of a $400,000 note receivable from Belleli.

     In connection with the Belleli option agreement, we have agreed to support
the financing of Belleli to the extent its existing lines of credit and bonding
arrangements are not sufficient to support successful implementation of an
agreed upon business plan. We currently estimate that we may need to provide or
assist in arranging support to Belleli of up to $20 million, which may take the
form of cash, equity, bonding or other support; however, the actual amount of
our obligation is subject to numerous variables outside of our control,
including Belleli's success in obtaining new contracts, its cash flow from
operations and its customers' and suppliers' bonding requirements. At December
31, 1998, we had a note receivable from Belleli for $400,000 which was secured
by accounts receivable and which was converted to an additional option payment
subsequent to year end. At December 31, 1998 we had provided to customers and
suppliers third-party performance guarantees of $5.2 million and letters of
credit of $520,000, all of which had expired subsequent to year end. We are
exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by Belleli under these
arrangements; however, we do not anticipate nonperformance by Belleli. To date
we have been able to provide this financial support through bonding arrangements
with our bank and performance guarantees; however, even if we are successful in
refinancing certain of our debt facilities in 1999, there can be no assurance
that such sources will continue to be available to the extent necessary to
provide adequate support to Belleli, which would require us to pursue additional
sources of financing on terms that may be less desirable or advantageous than
our current arrangements.

     We are currently exploring various financing alternatives to meet our
future liquidity needs and repay currently maturing debt obligations. We
anticipate refinancing certain of our debt facilities in 1999, although no
assurances can be given that we will be able to refinance such facilities or
that we will be able to obtain terms that are as favorable as those that
currently exist. For the six months ending June 30, 1999 we have made capital
expenditures of $5.1 million and anticipate spending $4.7 million for the
remainder of 1999. We believe that our overall treasury management of cash on
hand from operations and available borrowings under new or existing credit
facilities will be adequate to meet capital requirements and provide working
capital needs in connection with integrating our businesses acquired and for
continued maintenance and improvements in our business.

INFLATION

     Although we believe that inflation has not had any material effect on
operating results, our business may be affected by inflation in the future.

SEASONALITY

     We believe that our business is not subject to any significant seasonal
factors, and do not anticipate significant seasonality in the future.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     We are exposed to the risk that the year 2000 issue (the "Year 2000
Issue") could cause system failures or miscalculations causing disruption of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.
During 1997, we undertook a corporate-wide initiative designed to assess the
impact of the Year 2000 Issue on software and hardware utilized in our
operations, including information technology infrastructure ("IT") and
embedded manufacturing control technology ("Non-IT") and the impact, if any,
that the year 2000 issue, as it relates to customers and suppliers could have on
our business.

                                       8
<PAGE>
     This initiative is being conducted in three phases: assessment,
implementation and testing. During the assessment phase, we completed a
comprehensive inventory of IT and Non-IT systems and equipment. Many of our IT
systems include hardware and packaged software recently purchased from large
vendors who have represented that these systems are already year 2000 compliant.
However, we have determined that it will be necessary to modify portions of our
financial and accounting software.

     We believe that with modifications to existing software, the Year 2000
Issue can be mitigated. The implementation of these remediation efforts is
underway and is expected to be completed by October 31, 1999. However, if such
modifications are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue
could have a material impact on operations. We plan to complete the testing of
the year 2000 modifications as these modifications are implemented. We have not
established a contingency plan but intend to formulate one to address
unavoidable risks, and we expect to have the contingency plan formulated by
September 30, 1999.

     We do not currently rely on the IT systems of other companies; however,
failure of our suppliers or customers to become year 2000 compliant might have a
material adverse impact on our operations. We intend to continue to pursue an
acquisition strategy and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the IT
systems being used by an acquired company will be compliant with the Year 2000
Issue or that any such conversion or failure to convert an acquired system would
not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.

     Efforts with respect to the Year 2000 Issue have been handled internally by
our management and our other employees. Costs of developing and carrying out
this initiative are being funded from operations and have not represented a
material expense. We have not completed our remediation efforts but currently
believe that the costs of the Year 2000 Issue will not be significant and will
not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results
of operations or cashflows.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 137, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Standard No. 133. This statement amends Statement No. 133 which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instrument embedded in other
contracts. This statement is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. We are currently evaluating what impact adoption of this statement
will have on our consolidated financial statements.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This report includes "forward looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than
statements of historical fact included in this report are forward looking
statements. Such forward looking statements include, without limitation,
statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" regarding our
estimate of sufficiency of existing capital resources and ability to raise
additional capital to fund cash requirements for future operations. Although we
believe that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that the expectations reflected in such
forward looking statements will prove to have been correct. The ability to
achieve these expectations is contingent upon a number of factors, which include
demand for products, need for additional capital for newly acquired companies
and the ability to complete new acquisitions.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the
value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

     We are exposed to some market risk due to the floating interest rate under
our revolving line of credit. Under the revolving line of credit, as amended,
the principal balance is due in June 2001. As of December 31, 1998, the
revolving line of credit had a principal balance of $42.1 million at a floating
interest rate of 7.75% per annum. We also have $27.0 million of long-term debt
bearing interest at Libor plus 2.5% to 5%.

                                       9
<PAGE>
The Libor rate as of December 31, 1998 was 5.56%. A 1.0% increase in interest
rates could result in a $0.7 million annual increase in interest expense on the
existing principal balance. We have determined that it is not necessary to
participate in interest rate-related derivative financial instruments because we
currently do not expect significant short-term increases in interest rates
charged under the revolving line of credit.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Industrial Holdings, Inc.
  Houston, Texas

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Industrial
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity,
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. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the mergers of the
Company and Blastco Services Company, Inc. ("Blastco") in 1999 and GHX,
Incorporated and Subsidiary ("GHX"), Whir Acquisition, Inc., d/b/a/ Ameritech
Fastener Manufacturing, Inc. ("Ameritech"), Moores Pump and Supply, Inc.
("Moores") and United Wellhead Services, Inc. ("UWS") in 1998, all of which
have been accounted for as a poolings-of-interest as described in Notes 3 and 16
to the consolidated financial statements. We did not audit the financial
statements, as of December 31, 1998 or for the year then ended, of AWR
Acquisition, L.C. ("AWR"), which is accounted for by use of the equity method.
The Company's equity of $1,237,417 in AWR's net assets at December 31, 1998 and
of $1,215,560 in AWR's net income for the year then ended are included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of AWR
were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for AWR, is based solely
on the report of such auditors. We did not audit the consolidated balance sheet
of Blastco as of December 31, 1997, or the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity, or cash flows for the year then ended, which
statements reflect total assets of $7,980,000 as of December 31, 1997 and total
sales of $12,723,000 for the year then ended. We did not audit the balance sheet
of Ameritech as of December 31, 1997, or the related statements of income,
shareholders' equity, or cash flows for the year then ended, such statements
reflect total assets of $610,000 as of December 31, 1997 and total sales of
$1,695,000 for the year then ended. We did not audit the consolidated balance
sheet of UWS as of December 31, 1997, or the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity or cash flows for the year then ended, which
statements reflect total assets of $4,897,000 as of December 31, 1997 and total
revenues of $11,237,000 for the year then ended. Those statements were audited
by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Blastco, Ameritech and UWS for
1997, is based solely on the reports of such other auditors. We did not audit
the financial statements of Moores for the year ended April 30, 1997, such
statements reflect $13,419,000 of sales for the year then ended. We did not
audit the consolidated financial statements of GHX for the year ended June 30,
1997, such statements reflect $21,849,000 of net sales for the year then ended.
Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have
been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for Moores and GHX for such periods, is based solely on the reports of
such other auditors. As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements, subsequent to the issuance of the reports of the other auditors, the
financial statements of Moores and the consolidated financial statements of GHX
were restated to conform to the fiscal year of the Company for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997.

     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 and reports of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, such
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as

                                      F-2
<PAGE>
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

     The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended
December 31, 1996, prior to their restatement for the 1999 and 1998
poolings-of-interests, were audited by other auditors, and their report dated
March 5, 1997, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The
financial statements of Blastco for the year ended December 31, 1996 were also
previously audited by other auditors, and their report dated March 5, 1999
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The consolidated financial
statements of UWS for the year ended December 31, 1996 were also previously
audited by other auditors, and their report dated February 12, 1998 expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements. The financial statements of Ameritech
for the year ended December 31, 1996 were also previously audited by other
auditors, and their report dated January 22, 1998 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements. The consolidated financial statements of GHX for
the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were also previously audited by other
auditors, and their report dated September 19, 1997 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements. The financial statements of Moores for the years
ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 were also previously audited by other auditors,
and their report dated June 17, 1997 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements. We audited the adjustments described in Note 3 that were applied to
restate the 1997 and 1996 financial statements of Moores and the 1997 and 1996
consolidated financial statements of GHX. In our opinion, such adjustments are
appropriate and have been properly applied. We audited the combination of the
accompanying consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1996, after restatement for the 1999 and
1998 poolings-of-interest. In our opinion, such consolidated statements have
been properly combined on the basis described in Notes 3 and 16 to the
consolidated financial statements.

shareholders' equity (not presented separately herein) of Industrial Holdings,

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 audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan

statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      (iv)  MACHINE SALES AND SERVICE which sells new and used machine tools and
            provides export crating services.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Industrial
Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Investments
in unconsolidated affiliates with ownership interests of 50% or less and which
the Company does not control are accounted for using the equity method.
Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

  REVENUE RECOGNITION

     For the majority of its operations, the Company recognizes revenues upon
shipment of its product or upon completion of services it renders. Revenues and
profits on long-term contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion
method. The percentage-of-completion is determined by relating costs or labor
incurred to date to management's estimate of total costs or total labor,
respectively, to be incurred on each contract. Revisions of estimates are
reflected in the year in which the facts necessitating the revisions become
known. If a loss is indicated on any contract in process, a provision is made
currently for the entire loss. There are no significant amounts included in the
accompanying balance sheet that are not expected to be recovered from existing
contracts at current contract values, or that are not expected to be collected
within one year.

                                       ==============

  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 $606,874 and $256,159 at December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

  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.

  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company's financial instruments consist of primarily cash, trade
accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, and debt instruments.
The book value of cash, trade accounts receivables and accounts payable are
representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of
these instruments. It is not practicable to estimate the fair values of the
related party amounts (see Note 10) due to the nature of the instruments. The
fair values of the Company's debt instruments (see Notes 8 and 9) are
representative of their carrying values based upon (i) variable rate terms or
(ii) management's opinion that the existing rates are equivalent to the current
rates offered to the Company for fixed-rate long-term debt with the same
maturities and security structure. The fair value of notes receivable
approximates their carrying value and are estimated by discounting the future
cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers
with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

  INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes, where
applicable, manufacturing labor and overhead. The first-in, first-out method
("FIFO") is used to determine the cost of substantially all of the inventories
except for certain valve inventories for which the specific identification
method is used to determine the cost.

  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 furniture and fixtures,

                                      F-16

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements and 35 years for buildings).
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and
betterments are capitalized.

  LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in
operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be
impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.

  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market
value of net tangible assets acquired. At December 31, 1997 and 1998, goodwill
was $12,292,036 and $29,887,463 net of accumulated amortization of $1,369,835
and $2,458,839, respectively. Other intangible assets consist primarily of loan
origination fees. Goodwill and other intangible assets are amortized over 5 to
30 years. Amortization expense was $287,937, $628,073, $1,134,577 and for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

  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.

  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share
has been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares.

</TABLE>

     There were 882,250 options in 1998 that were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive.

  CASH EQUIVALENTS

     For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents
include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less at the date of purchase. Changes in assets and liabilities are presented
net of the effect of the business acquisitions accounted for under the purchase
method.

  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 presentation.

  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 137, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB Standard No. 133. This statement amends Statement No. 133 which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instrument
embedded in other contracts. This statement is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating what impact
adoption of this statement will have on our consolidated financial statements.

     In June 1997 the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
The statement was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997
and required retroactive presentation of comprehensive income for all periods
presented. For each of the years in the three years ended December 31, 1998, the
Company had no transactions which would have given rise to comprehensive income.

3.  BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS:

     In March 1998, the Company acquired WHIR Acquisition, Inc., doing business
as Ameritech Fastener Manufacturing, Inc. ("Ameritech") and GHX, Incorporated
("GHX"). In April 1998, the Company acquired Moores Pump and Supply, Inc.
("Moores") and in July 1998, the Company acquired United Wellhead Services,
Inc. ("UWS") in transactions accounted for as poolings-of-interest (the
"Poolings"). In the Poolings the outstanding capital stock of Ameritech, GHX,
Moores and UWS (together, the "Pooled Companies") was exchanged for 3,665,036
shares of the Company's common stock.

     For purposes of restating the Company's consolidated financial statements
to give retroactive effect to the Poolings, the consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the two-year
period ended December 31, 1997 were combined with (i) the financial statements
of Ameritech as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the two year period ended
December 31, 1997, (ii) the financial statements of Moores as of December 31,
1997 and 1996 and for the two-year period ended December 31, 1997, and (iii) the
consolidated financial statements of UWS, GHX and Moores as of December 31, 1997
and 1996 and for the two-year period ended December 31, 1997. The consolidated
financial statements of GHX as of June 30, 1997 and for the two-year period then
ended and the financial statements of Moores as of April 30, 1997 and for the
two-year period then ended have been restated to conform to the fiscal year of
the Company. The Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
1997 and 1996 and for the two-year period ended December 31, 1997 include all
necessary adjustments to conform the fiscal periods of the Pooled Companies as
previously presented to that of the Company.

     In January 1998, the Company acquired R.J. Machine Co., Inc. ("RJ"), in
February 1998, the Company acquired Philform, Inc. ("Philform"), in July 1998,
the Company acquired Beaird Industries, Inc. ("Beaird"), in August 1998, the
Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Ideal Products
("Ideal"), in August 1998, the Company acquired A&B Bolt and Supply, Inc.
("A&B") and in September 1998, the Company acquired the assets of Erie
Manufacturing. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions were $58.7
million cash and assumed liabilities plus 1,227,854 shares of common stock
valued at $10.5 million. The aggregate excess of cost over fair value of net
assets acquired was $16.2 million. The final purchase price allocation of
Beaird, Ideal and A&B are subject to certain adjustments relating to the
appraised value of assets, final purchase price adjustments and to certain other
accruals. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective
acquisition dates.

     In February 1997, the Company acquired LSS-Lone Star-Houston, Inc. ("Lone
Star"), in March 1997, the Company acquired Manifold Valve Services, Inc.
("MVS"), in May 1997, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of SRG Texas, Inc. and SRG Products Corporation (collectively,

                                      F-19

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


"SRG" or "GHX-Deer Park"), in August 1997, the Company acquired the assets
and assumed certain liabilities of Rogers Equipment ("Rogers") and in November
1997, the Company acquired WALKER Bolt Manufacturing ("WALKER"). The aggregate
purchase price of the acquisitions was $18.9 million cash and assumed
liabilities plus 728,461 shares of common stock valued at $5,680,000. The
aggregate excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired was $7.4
million. In November 1996, the Company acquired American Rivet Company, Inc.
("American") for $11.4 cash and assumed liabilities. The aggregate excess of
cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in connection with the American
acquisition was $3.7 million. These acquisitions have been accounted for by the
purchase method of accounting and, accordingly assets and liabilities have been
recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The results
of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated
financial statements from the respective acquisition dates.

     On a pro forma unaudited basis, as if the 1997 and 1998 acquisitions as
described above which were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
had occurred as of January 1, 1997, sales, net income and basic and diluted
earnings per share would have been approximately $275,598,000, $10,383,000 $.80
and $.76 for 1997 and approximately $274,870,000, $6,463,000, $.44 and $.43 for
1998. On a pro forma unaudited basis, as if the 1996 and 1997 acquisitions had
occurred as of January 1, 1996, sales, net income and basic and diluted earnings
per share would have been approximately $134,216,000, $2,589,000, $.26 and $.24
for 1996 and approximately $159,033,000, $5,671,000, $.49 and $.45 for 1997. 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, 1997 or 1996 or future results of operations of the combined
companies.

                                       ============


     Lease commitments to related parties are approximately $188,000, $116,000,
$96,000 for 1999, 2000, 2001, respectively, and $56,800 for 2002 and 2003. The
Company has an option to renew one building lease for an additional five years.

     During 1998, the Company sold an interest in a demolition contract to AWR,
an equity investee, for $2,000,000, net of associated expenses. This income is
being recognized over the two-year estimated life of the demolition contract.
Included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1998
under the caption Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates is $1,000,000 in
unamortized contract value. The Company has recognized $1,000,000 related to
this contract for the year ended December 31, 1998, which is included in the
accompanying consolidated statement of income under the caption Other Income.

     During 1998, the Company recorded $1,035,000 in staffing fee revenues from
an affiliate in which it holds an equity interest. Included in other current
assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1998 is
approximately $20,000 receivable from this entity.

     In connection with its 1998 acquisition of GHX, an officer of the Company,
who was a minority shareholder of GHX, received 24,345 shares of the Company's
common stock.

     In 1998, we paid St. James Capital Corp. ("St. James Capital"), $1
million in advisory fees in connection with acquisitions of various companies.
In addition, St. James Capital, through an affiliate, owns a 51% interest in OF
Acquisition. Mr. John Thompson, a director of the Company since February 1997,
is also a director and President of St. James Capital. In the second quarter of
1999, we realized proceeds of $2.6 million from the issuance of 349,580 shares
of our common stock to St. James Capital. The shares were valued at $7.44 per
share based upon the closing market price for our stock immediately preceding
the consummation of the sale.

     In connection with the 1997 purchase of Lone Star, the Company issued a
note payable to the former shareholder and president of Lone Star with quarterly

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

     In 1998, the Company entered into an option agreement which grants the
Company the right to purchase approximately 96% of Belleli through 2002. Belleli
is an Italian company that manufactures thick-walled pressure vessels and heat
exchangers, as well as designs, engineers, constructs and erects components for
desalination, electric power and petrochemical plants. The Company's chief
executive officer and chief financial officer are also directors of Belleli. The
option agreement calls for payments totaling approximately $600,000 in 1999,
$700,000 in 2000, $800,000 in 2001 and $400,000 in 2002. During the second
quarter of 1999, the option agreement was amended to include an additional
option payment of $3 million, of which $2.6 million was funded by a private
placement of the Company's common stock with St. James Capital Corp. and the
remainder from the conversion of a $400,000 note receivable from Belleli (see
Note 5). Additionally, under the option agreement, the Company is to provide
certain financing to Belleli. At December 31, 1998 the Company had provided to
customers and suppliers third-party performance guarantees of $5.2 million and
letters of credit of $520,000, all of which had expired subsequent to year end.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by Belleli
under these arrangements; however, it does not anticipate nonperformance by
Belleli. The Company currently anticipates that Belleli may need up to $20
million in financial support from the Company through the end of 1999. To date,
the Company has been able to provide this financial support through bonding
arrangements with its bank and performance guarantees; however, there can be no
assurance that such sources will continue to be available to the extent
necessary to provide adequate support to Belleli, which would require the
Company to pursue other sources of financing on terms that may be less desirable
or advantageous than its current arrangements.

     In connection with the 1992 purchase of Landreth Engineering Company
("Landreth"), former Landreth shareholders were entitled to additional
consideration based upon the level of Landreth's pretax profits through 1997,
not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. For 1996, the Company paid these
shareholders $29,491 as additional consideration. No amounts were payable under
this agreement for 1997 and no further obligation exists.

     In connection with the 1992 purchase of Pipeline Valve Specialty Company,
Inc. ("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
per share and the proceeds they received upon sale of their common stock. These
obligations were satisfied in 1996.

     At December 31, 1998, the Company had $2,422,000 in letters of credit
outstanding. Additionally, the Company had guaranteed borrowings totaling $1.98
million of certain companies in which it holds equity interests (see Note 7).

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

     The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31 is as

     The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
return. At December 31, 1998, the Company has net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards of approximately $1.5 million for income tax purposes which expire
in 2007 and 2009. These losses may presently be offset against the future income
of the applicable subsidiary only. Of the carryforward amount, $312,000 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 the Company
reduced the deferred tax asset valuation allowance by approximately $239,000 to
reflect $101,000 in deferred tax assets used and to recognize deferred tax
assets of $138,000. The recognized deferred tax assets are based upon expected
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards of its subsidiaries. The Rex
Group, Inc. ("REX") and United Wellhead Services, Inc., and reversal of
certain temporary differences. The Company has assessed its past earnings
history and trends and that of its subsidiaries, 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:


                                            1997            1998

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

     At December 31, 1998, the Company has a stock-based compensation plan under
which shares or options can be granted to employees. The Company measures
compensation cost for this plan using the intrinsic value method of accounting
prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Given the terms of the plan, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock
options granted under the plan.

     Under the 1998 Incentive Stock Plan ("Plan"), the Company may grant
incentive or nonqualified options to key employees. As of December 31, 1998,
there were 2.3 million shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the
Employee Plan. The option price per share is generally the fair market value on
the date the option is granted and each option is exercisable into one share of
common stock. The options

     The Company's reported net income and earnings per share would have been
reduced had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans
been determined using the fair value method of accounting as set forth in SFAS
No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." For purposes of estimating
the fair value disclosures below, the fair value of each stock option has been
estimated on the grant date with a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the
following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; expected
volatility range of .445% to .460%, a risk-free interest rate of 5.75%; and
expected lives of 3 to 6 years for stock options granted. The effects of using
the fair value method of accounting on net income and earnings per share are

13.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

     The Company maintains various 401(k) savings plans which permit
participants to contribute up to 18 percent of their compensation each year. The
Company will match a percentage of a participant's contributions, subject to
specified limits. The Company's results of operations reflect expenses
associated with the plan of approximately $132,000, $230,000 and $359,000 for
1996, 1997 and 1998.

     July 1, 1998, the Company acquired Beaird. Beaird has a non-contributory
defined benefit plan covering its union employees. The plan provides benefits
that are generally based on years of service. Annual contributions to the plan
are sufficient to satisfy legal requirements.

Net pension cost attributable to the Beaird plan includes the following
components:

      The Board of Directors of the Corporation may, if it deems advisable,
oppose a tender or other offer for the Corporation's securities, whether the
offer is in cash or in the securities of another corporation or otherwise. When
considering whether to oppose an offer, the Board of Directors may, but is not
legally obligated to, consider any pertinent issues; by way of illustration, but
not of limitation, the Board of Directors may, but shall not be legally
obligated to, consider all or any of the following:

            (i)   Whether the offer price is acceptable based on the historical
                  and present operating results or financial condition of the
                  Corporation;

            (ii)  Whether a more favorable price could be obtained for the
                  Corporation's securities in the future;

            (iii) The impact which an acquisition of the Corporation would have
                  on the employees, customers, supplies and creditors of the
                  Corporation and its subsidiaries and the communities which
                  they serve;

            (iv)  The reputation and business practices of the offeror and
                  its management and affiliates as they would affect the
                  employees, customers, supplies and creditors of the
                  Corporation and its subsidiaries and the future value of
                  the Corporation's stock by the value of the securities, if
                  any, that the offeror is offering in exchange for the
                  Corporation's securities, based on an analysis of the worth
                  of the Corporation as compared to the offereor or any other
                  entity whose securities are being offered, and the
                  financial condition of the offeror or such other entity, and

            (v)   Any antitrust or other legal or regulatory issues that are
                  raised by the offer.

      The Corporation shall indemnify every director or officer, their heirs,
executors and administrator, in accordance with Article 2.02-1 of the Texas
Business Corporation Act, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him, as well as any amount paid upon a judgment in connection with any action,
suit or proceeding, civil or criminal, to which he may be made a party by reason
of his being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation, or at the
request of the Corporation, having been a director or officer of any other
corporation of which the Corporation was at such time a shareholder or creditor
and from which other corporation he is not entitled to be indemnified, except in
relation to matters as to which he is found liable on the basis that personal
benefit was improperly received by him, or in which he shall be found liable to
the Corporation. In the event of a settlement, indemnification shall be provided
only in connection with such
<PAGE>
matters covered by the settlement as to which the Corporation is advised by its
special legal counsel that the person to be indemnified did not commit such a
breach of duty. The foregoing shall not be exclusive of other rights to which
the officer or director may be entitled.

                                   ARTICLE XII

corporation shall be affected by the fact that one (1) or more of the directors

such other corporation and any director or officer individually may be a party
to or may be interested in any contract or transaction of this Corporation. No
contract or transaction of this Corporation with any person or persons, firm or
association shall be affected by the fact that any director or officer of this
Corporation is a party to or interested in such contract or transaction, or in
any way connected with such person or persons, firm or association, provided
that the interest in any such contract or other transactions of any such
director or officer shall be fully disclosed and that such contract or other
transaction shall be authorized or ratified by the vote of a sufficient number
of Directors of the Corporation not so interested. In the absence of fraud, no
director or officer having such adverse interest shall be liable to the
Corporation or to any shareholder or creditor thereof, or to any other person
for any loss incurred by it under or by reason of such contract or transaction,
nor shall any such Director or Officer be accountable for any gains or profits
realized thereon. In any case described in this Article XII any such director
may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the
board of directors which shall authorize or ratify any such contract or
transaction.

            (iii) for any transaction from which such director derived an

                  an action taken within the scope of the director's office; or

      liability of a director of the Corporation shall be limited to the fullest
      extent permitted by the TMCLA, as so amended, and such limitation of

      the liability of a director of the Corporation provided by the foregoing
      provisions of this Article.

      (C) Any repeal of or amendment of this Article shall be prospective only

and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of
business except as otherwise provided by statute, by the Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, or by these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present or
represented at a meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote,
present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the
meeting, until a quorum is present

represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
the meeting as originally notified.

                  2.06 MAJORITY VOTE; WITHDRAWAL OF QUORUM. When a quorum is
present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares
having voting power, present in person or by proxy, shall decide any question
brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express
provision of any statute, the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of these
Bylaws, a vote of a greater number is required in which case such express
provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. The
shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact
business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
shareholders to leave less than a quorum.

                  2.07 METHOD OF VOTING. Each outstanding share, regardless of
class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a
meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the
shares of any class or classes are limited or denied by the Articles of
Incorporation. At any meeting of the shareholders, every shareholder having the
right to vote may vote either in person, or by proxy executed in writing by the
shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid
after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise
provided in the proxy. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided
therein to be irrevocable and unless otherwise made irrevocable by law. Each
proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation prior to or at the
time of the meeting. Voting for Directors shall be in accordance with Section
3.06 of these Bylaws. Any vote may be taken by voice or by show of hands unless
someone entitled to vote objects, in which case written ballots shall be used.

two inspectors of election may be appointed by the Chairman of the meeting;
provided that, the failure to appoint inspectors of election shall not
invalidate any action taken at any shareholders' meeting.

                  2.08 VOTING LIST. At least ten (10) days before each meeting
of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the
meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of each and the number

prior to the meeting, shall be kept on file at the registered office of the
Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time
during usual business hours. The list shall also be produced and kept open at
the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and shall be
subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the
meeting.

                  2.09 RECORD DATE; CLOSING TRANSFER BOOKS. The Board of

to the meeting; or the Board of Directors may close the stock transfer books for
such purpose for a period of not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60)
days prior to such meeting. In the absence of any action by the Board of
Directors, the last date upon which the notice of the meeting is mailed shall be

entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the
holder in fact of such share or shares for all purposes, and accordingly shall
not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
share on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or
other notice of such claim or interest, except as expressly provided by the laws
of the State of Texas.

                  2.11 ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required by statute to
be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any action which may be taken at a
meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice, and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, shall be signed by holders of shares having not less than the minimum
number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at
which the holders of all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and
voted. The signed consent, or a signed copy, shall be placed in the Minute Book.

Meeting of Shareholders called for the purpose.

the Corporation.

                  3.15 ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or permitted
to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a
meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action is taken, is signed by
all the members of the Board of Directors. Such consent shall have the same
force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting. The signed consent, or a
signed copy, shall be placed in the Minute Book.

                  3.16 INTERESTED DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND SHAREHOLDERS. No
contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any of its Directors,
officers or shareholders (or any corporation or firm which any of them are
directly or indirectly interested) shall be invalid solely because of this
relationship or because of the presence of such Director, officer or shareholder
at the meeting authorizing such meeting or authorization provided that (a) the
material facts of the relationship or interest of each such Director, officer or
shareholder are known or disclosed and (b) the contract of transaction is fair
to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized or ratified by the Board of
Directors, a committee of the Board or the shareholders.

                  3.17 COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may, in its
discretion, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the whole Board of

may determine its action and fix the time and place for its meetings unless the
Board of Directors shall otherwise provide. The Board of Directors shall have
power at any time
<PAGE>
to fill vacancies in, to change the membership of, or to discharge any such
committee. The designation of such committee and the delegation thereof of
authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member
thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon it or him by law.

Incorporation or these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to a Director or

United States mails.

                  4.02 WAIVER. Whenever, by statute or the Articles of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to a shareholder
or Director, a Waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons
entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated in such notice,
shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance of a Director at a
meeting shall constitute a Waiver of Notice of such meeting, except where a
Director attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any
business on the ground that the meeting is now lawfully called or convened.

judgment the best interests of the Corporation will be served thereby. Such

without par value, and such other matters as may be required by law. They shall
be signed by the President or a Vice President and such other officer or
officers as the Board of Directors shall designate, and may be sealed with the
seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof. If any certificate is
countersigned by a transfer agent, or an assistant transfer agent or registered
by a registrar (either of which is other then the Corporation or an employee of
the Corporation), the signature of any such officer may be facsimile.

                  6.02 ISSUANCE. Shares (both treasury and authorized but
unissued) may be issued for such consideration (not less than par value) and to
such persons as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. Shares
may not be issued until the full amount of the consideration, fixed as provided
by law, has been paid.

                  6.03 PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

                        (a) KIND. The consideration for the issuance of shares
shall consist of money paid, labor done (including services actually performed
for the Corporation), or property (tangible or intangible) actually received.
Neither promissory notes nor the promise of future services shall constitute
payment for shares.

                        (b) VALUATION. In the absence of fraud in the
transaction, the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the value of
consideration received shall be conclusive.

                        (c) EFFECT. When consideration, fixed as provided by
law, has been paid, the shares shall be deemed to have been issued and shall be
considered fully paid and nonassessable.

                        (d) ALLOCATION OF CONSIDERATION. The consideration
received for shares shall be allocated by the Board of Directors, in accordance
with law, between stated capital and capital surplus accounts.

shares, whether made before or after organization of the Corporation, shall be
paid in full at such time or in such installments and at such times as shall be
determined by the Board of Directors. Any call made by the Board of Directors
for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same
series, as the case may be. In case of default in the payment on any installment
or call when payment is due, the Corporation may proceed to collect the amount
due in the same manner as any debt due to the Corporation.

                  6.05 LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Corporation
shall issue a new certificate in place of any certificate for shares previously
issued to the registered owner of the certificate:

                        (a) CLAIM. Makes proof in affidavit form that it has
been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken;

                        (b) TIMELY REQUEST. Requests the issuance of a new
certificate before the Corporation has notice that the certificate has been
acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse
claim;
<PAGE>
                        (c) BOND. Gives a bond in such form, and with such
surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, as the Corporation may direct,
to indemnify the Corporation (and its transfer agent and registrar, if any)
against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction,
or theft of the certificate; and

                        (d) OTHER REQUIREMENTS. Satisfies any other reasonable
requirements imposed by the Corporation. When a certificate has been lost,
apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, and the holder of record fails to
notify the Corporation within a reasonable time after he has notice of it, and
the Corporation registers a transfer of the shares represented by the
certificate before receiving such notification, the holder of record is
precluded from making any claim against the Corporation for the transfer or for
a new certificate.

                  6.06 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. The Corporation registers the
transfer of a certificate for shares presented for transfer if:

                        (a) ENDORSEMENT. The certificate is properly by the
registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney;


                        (b) GUARANTY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF SIGNATURE. The
signature of such person has been guaranteed by a national banking association
or member of the New York Stock Exchange, or reasonable assurance is given that
such endorsements are effective;

                        (c) ADVERSE CLAIMS. The Corporation has no notice of an
adverse claim or has discharged any duty to inquire into such a claim; and

                        (d) COLLECTION OF TAXES. Any applicable law relating to
the collection of taxes has been complied with.

                  6.07 REGISTERED OWNER. Prior to due presentation for

                           INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS, INC.

                           NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION

                            Optionee: _____________

      1. GRANT OF STOCK OPTION. As of the GRANT DATE (identified in Section 18
below), Industrial Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "COMPANY"), hereby
grants a Nonstatutory Stock Option (the "OPTION") to the OPTIONEE (identified
above), an employee of the Company, to purchase the number of shares of the
Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "COMMON STOCK"),
identified in Section 18 below (the "SHARES"), subject to the terms and
conditions of this agreement (the "AGREEMENT") and the Industrial Holdings, Inc.
1998 Incentive Plan (the "PLAN") which is incorporated herein in its entirety by
reference. The Shares, when issued to Optionee upon the exercise of the Option,
shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Option is not an "incentive stock
option" as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

      2. DEFINITIONS. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Plan unless otherwise provided herein. Section 18 below sets
forth meanings for various capitalized terms used in this Agreement.

      3. OPTION TERM. The Option shall commence on the Grant Date (identified in
Section 18 below) and terminate on the date immediately prior to the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Grant Date. The period during which the Option is in
effect and may be exercised is referred to herein as the "OPTION PERIOD".

      4. OPTION PRICE. The Option Price per Share is identified in Section 18
below.

      5. VESTING. The total number of Shares subject to this Option shall vest
in accordance with the VESTING SCHEDULE (identified in Section 18 below). The
Shares may be purchased at any time after they become vested, in whole or in
part, during the Option Period; provided, however, the Option may only be
exercisable to acquire whole Shares. The right of exercise provided herein shall
be cumulative so that if the Option is not exercised to the maximum extent
permissible after vesting, the vested portion of the Option shall be
exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the Option Period.

      6. METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Option is exercisable by delivery of a written
notice to the Secretary of the Company, signed by the Optionee, specifying the
number of Shares to be acquired on, and the effective date of, such exercise.
The Optionee may withdraw notice of exercise of this Option, in writing, at any
time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding
the proposed exercise date.

      7. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Option Price upon exercise of the Option shall
be payable to the Company in full either: (i) in cash or its equivalent, or (ii)
subject to prior approval by the

                                      1
<PAGE>
Committee in its discretion, by tendering previously acquired Shares having an
aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) at the time of exercise
equal to the total Option Price (provided that the Shares must have been held by
the Optionee for at least six (6) months prior to their tender to satisfy the
Option Price), or (iii) subject to prior approval by the Committee in its
discretion, by withholding Shares which otherwise would be acquired on exercise
having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total
Option Price, or (iv) subject to prior approval by the Committee in its
discretion, by a combination of (i), (ii), and (iii) above. Any payment in
shares of Common Stock shall be effected by the delivery of such shares to the
Secretary of the Company, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers
duly executed in blank, together with any other documents as the Secretary may
require. If the payment of the Option Price is remitted partly in Shares, the
balance of the payment of the Option Price shall be paid in either cash,
certified check, bank cashiers' check, or by wire transfer.

      The Committee, in its discretion, may allow (i) a "cashless exercise" as
permitted under Federal Reserve Board's Regulation T, 12 CFR Part 220 (or its
successor), and subject to applicable securities law restrictions and tax
withholdings, or (ii) any other means of exercise which the Committee, in its
discretion, determines to be consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable
law.

      As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise
and full payment, the Company shall deliver to or on behalf of the Optionee, in
the name of the Optionee or other appropriate recipient, Share certificates for
the number of Shares purchased under the Option. Such delivery shall be effected
for all purposes when a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have deposited
such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to Optionee or other
appropriate recipient.

      8. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE. The Option may not be exercised if the
issuance of such Shares or the method of payment of the consideration for such
Shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state
securities or other laws or regulations, including any rule under Part 207 of
Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations ("Regulation G") as promulgated by
the Federal Reserve Board, or any rules or regulations of any stock exchange on
which the Common Stock may be listed.

      9. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Voluntary or involuntary termination of
Employment and the death or Disability of Optionee shall affect Optionee's
rights under the Option as follows:

            (a) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The vested and non-vested portions of the
      Option shall expire at 12:01 a.m. (CST) on the date of termination of
      Employment and shall not be exercisable to any extent if Optionee's
      Employment with the Company is terminated for Cause (as defined in the
      Plan at the time of such termination of Employment).

            (b) OTHER INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OR VOLUNTARY TERMINATION. If
      Optionee's Employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other
      than for Cause, death or Disability (as defined in the Plan at the time of
      termination), then (i) the non-vested portion of the Option shall
      immediately expire on the termination date and (ii) the vested portion of
      the Option shall expire to the extent not exercised within 90 calendar
      days after the date of

                                      2
<PAGE>
      such termination of Employment. In no event may the Option be exercised by
      anyone after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Option Period or
      (ii) 90 calendar days after termination of Employment.

            (c) DEATH OR DISABILITY. If Optionee's Employment with the Company
      is terminated by death or Disability, then (i) the non-vested portion of
      the Option shall immediately expire on the date of termination of
      Employment and (ii) the vested portion of the Option will terminate 365
      calendar days after the date of such termination of Employment to the
      extent not exercised by Optionee or, in the case of death, by the person
      or persons to whom Optionee's rights under the Option have passed by will
      or by the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of Disability,
      by Optionee's legal representative. In no event may the Option be
      exercised by anyone after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Option
      Period or (ii) 365 days after Optionee's death or termination of
      Employment due to Disability.

      10. INDEPENDENT LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE. Optionee acknowledges that the
Company has advised Optionee to obtain independent legal and tax advice
regarding the grant and exercise of the Option and the disposition of any Shares
acquired thereby.

      11. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY. The existence of the Option shall not
affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make
or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other
changes in Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or
consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or
prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares or the rights thereof,
or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all
or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding,
whether of a similar character or otherwise.

      In the event of a "Change in Control" of the Company (as defined in the
Plan at the time of such event), vesting of the Option may be accelerated and
the Option shall otherwise be affected as provided in the Plan at such time.

      12. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. In the event of stock dividends, spin-offs of
assets or other extraordinary dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares,
recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, liquidations,
issuances of rights or warrants and similar transactions or events involving
Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the terms and provisions of
this Option as provided in the Plan.

      13. NO RIGHTS IN SHARES. Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder in
respect of the Shares until the Optionee becomes the record holder of such
Shares.

      14. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. Optionee will enter into such written
representations, warranties and agreements as Company may reasonably request in
order to comply with any federal or state securities law. Moreover, any stock
certificate for any Shares issued to Optionee hereunder may contain a legend
restricting their transferability as determined by the Company in its
discretion. Optionee agrees that Company shall not be obligated to take any
affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of Shares
hereunder to comply with any law, rule or regulation that applies to the Shares
subject to the Option.

      15. NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT. The Option shall not confer upon Optionee
any right to continued employment with the Company or any subsidiary thereof.

      16. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. The Company shall have the right to (a) make
deductions from the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the
Option in an amount sufficient to satisfy withholding of any federal, state or
local taxes required by law, or (b) take such other action as may be necessary
or appropriate to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations.

      17.   GENERAL.

            (a) NOTICES. All notices under this Agreement shall be mailed or
      delivered by hand to the parties at their respective addresses set forth

            (c) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. The Option granted pursuant to
      this Agreement is not transferable other than by will, the laws of descent
      and distribution or by a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in

      exercisable during Optionee's lifetime only by Optionee or by Optionee's
      legal representative in the event of Optionee's Disability. No right or
      benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to any
      debts, contracts, liabilities, obligations or torts of Optionee.

      provision shall be fully severable, but shall not affect the remaining
      provisions of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed and
      enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had not
      been included herein.

stock option" as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

      2. DEFINITIONS. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Plan unless otherwise provided herein. Section 19 below sets
forth meanings for various capitalized terms used in this Agreement.

duly executed in blank, together with any other documents as the Secretary may
require. If the payment of the Option Price is remitted partly in Shares, the
balance of the payment of the Option Price shall be paid in either cash,
certified check, bank cashiers' check, or by wire transfer.

      The Committee, in its discretion, may allow (i) a "cashless exercise" as
permitted under Federal Reserve Board's Regulation T, 12 CFR Part 220 (or its
successor), and subject to applicable securities law restrictions and tax
withholdings, or (ii) any other means of exercise which the Committee, in its
discretion, determines to be consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable
law.

      As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise
and full payment, the Company shall deliver to or on behalf of the Optionee, in
the name of the Optionee or other appropriate recipient, Share certificates for
the number of Shares purchased under the Option. Such delivery shall be effected
for all purposes when a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have deposited
such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to Optionee or other
appropriate recipient.

      8. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE. The Option may not be exercised if the
issuance of such Shares or the method of payment of the consideration for such
Shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state
securities or other laws or regulations, including any rule under Part 207 of
Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations ("Regulation G") as promulgated by
the Federal Reserve Board, or any rules or regulations of any stock exchange on
which the Common Stock may be listed.

      9. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Voluntary or involuntary termination of
Employment and the death or Disability of Optionee shall affect Optionee's
rights under the Option as follows:

            (a) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The vested and non-vested portions of the
      Option shall expire on 12:01 a.m. (CST) on the date of termination of
      Employment and shall not be exercisable to any extent if Optionee's
      Employment with the Company is terminated for Cause (as defined in the
      Plan at the time of such termination of Employment).

            (b) OTHER INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OR VOLUNTARY TERMINATION. If
      Optionee's Employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other
      than for Cause, death or Disability (as defined in the Plan at the time of
      termination of Employment), then (i) the non-vested portion of the Option
      shall immediately expire on the termination date and (ii) the vested
      portion of the Option shall expire to the extent not exercised within 90
      calendar days

                                      2
<PAGE>
      after the date of such termination of Employment. In no event may the
      Option be exercised by anyone after the earlier of (i) the expiration of
      the Option Period or (ii) 90 calendar days after termination of
      Employment.

            (c) DEATH OR DISABILITY. If Optionee's Employment with the Company
      is terminated by death or Disability, then (i) the non-vested portion of
      the Option shall immediately expire on the date of termination of
      Employment and (ii) the vested portion of the Option shall expire 365
      calendar days after the date of such termination of Employment to the
      extent not exercised by Optionee or, in the case of death, by the person
      or persons to whom Optionee's rights under the Option have passed by will
      or by the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of Disability,
      by Optionee's legal representative. In no event may the Option be
      exercised by anyone after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Option
      Period or (ii) 365 days after Optionee's death or termination of
      Employment due to Disability.

      10. QUALIFICATION AS AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION. The Optionee understands
that the Option is intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code. The Optionee must meet certain holding
periods under Section 422(a) of the Code to obtain the federal income tax
treatment applicable to the exercise of incentive stock options and the
disposition of shares acquired thereby. The Optionee further understands that
the exercise price of Shares subject to this Option has been set by the
Committee at a price that the Committee determined to be not less than 100% (or,
if the Optionee, at the Grant Date, owned more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of the Company's outstanding voting securities, 110%) of the Fair
Market Value, as determined in accordance with the Plan, of a share of Common
Stock on the Grant Date. The Optionee further understands and agrees, however,
that the Company shall not be liable or responsible for any additional tax
liability incurred by the Optionee in the event that the Internal Revenue
Service for any reason determines that this Option does not qualify as an
"incentive stock option" within the meaning of the Code.

      11. INDEPENDENT LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE. Optionee acknowledges that the
Company has advised Optionee to obtain independent legal and tax advice
regarding the grant and exercise of the Option and the disposition of any Shares
acquired thereby.

      12. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY. The existence of the Option shall not
affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make
or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other
changes in Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or
consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or
prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares or the rights thereof,
or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all
or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding,
whether of a similar character or otherwise.

      In the event of a "Change in Control" of the Company (as defined in the
Plan at the time of such event), vesting of the Option may be accelerated and
the Option shall otherwise be affected as provided in the Plan at such time.

                                      3
<PAGE>
      13. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. In the event of stock dividends, spin-offs of
assets or other extraordinary dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares,
recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, liquidations,
issuances of rights or warrants and similar transactions or events involving
Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the terms and provisions of
this Option as provided in the Plan.

      14. NO RIGHTS IN SHARES. Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder in
respect of the Shares until the Optionee becomes the record holder of such
Shares.

      15. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. Optionee will enter into such written
representations, warranties and agreements as Company may reasonably request in
order to comply with any federal or state securities law. Moreover, any stock
certificate for any Shares issued to Optionee hereunder may contain a legend
restricting their transferability as determined by the Company in its
discretion. Optionee agrees that Company shall not be obligated to take any
affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of Shares
hereunder to comply with any law, rule or regulation that applies to the Shares
subject to the Option.

      16. NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT. The Option shall not confer upon Optionee
any right to continued employment with the Company or any subsidiary thereof.

      17. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. The Company shall have the right to (a) make
deductions from the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the
Option in an amount sufficient to satisfy withholding of any federal, state or
local taxes required by law, or (b) take such other action as may be necessary
or appropriate to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations.

      18.   GENERAL.

            (a) NOTICES. All notices under this Agreement shall be mailed or
      delivered by hand to the parties at their respective addresses set forth
      beneath their signatures below or at such other address as may be
      designated in writing by either of the parties to one another. Notices
      shall be effective upon receipt.

            (b) SHARES RESERVED. Company shall at all times during the Option
      Period reserve and keep available under the Plan such number of Shares as
      shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Option.

            (c) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. The Option granted pursuant to
      this Agreement is not transferable other than by will, the laws of descent
      and distribution or by a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in
      Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code). The Option will be
      exercisable during Optionee's lifetime only by Optionee or by Optionee's
      legal representative in the event of Optionee's Disability. No right or
      benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to any
      debts, contracts, liabilities, obligations or torts of Optionee.

                                      4
<PAGE>
            (d) AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. No amendment, modification or
      termination of the Option or this Agreement shall be made at any time
      without the written consent of Optionee and Company.

            (e) NO GUARANTEE OF TAX CONSEQUENCES. The Company and the Committee
      make no commitment or guarantee that any federal or state tax treatment
      will apply or be available to any person eligible for benefits under the
      Option. The Optionee has been advised and been provided the opportunity to
      obtain independent legal and tax advice regarding the grant and exercise
      of the Option and the disposition of any Shares acquired thereby.

            (f) SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
      shall be held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, such
      provision shall be fully severable, but shall not affect the remaining
      provisions of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed and
      enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had not
      been included herein.

            (g) SUPERSEDES PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement shall supersede and
      replace all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, between
      the Company and the Optionee regarding the grant of the Options covered
      hereby.

            (h) GOVERNING LAW. The Option shall be construed in accordance with
      the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law
      provisions, to the extent federal law does not supersede and preempt Texas
      law.

      19. DEFINITIONS AND OTHER TERMS. The following capitalized terms shall
