ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

      The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by, and should be
read in conjunction with, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 1997.

OVERVIEW

      The Company has been in business since 1985 engaging in providing
engineering consulting services to the pipeline divisions of major integrated
oil and gas companies. For the period 1985 through 1989, most of its revenues
were derived from this segment. In October 1997, the engineering consulting
segment, which had previously operated as Industrial Data Systems, Inc. dba IDS
Engineering, was incorporated as a Texas corporation under the name of IDS
Engineering, Inc. (IED). The Company introduced its computer product segment in
1989 to provide industrial grade portable and rack mounted computers for
commercial use. This segment operated as a Texas corporation under the name of
Industrial Data Systems, Inc. (IPD). The IPD segment has generated sales as a
percent of total revenue of 14.2% and 19.2%, for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, while the IED segment has generated sales as a
percent of total revenue of 30.5% and 46.7% for the same periods. In 1997, the
Company acquired the Thermal segment, which fabricates air handling equipment
for commercial heating ventilation and cooling systems. The Thermal segment has
generated sales as a percent of total revenue of 30.4% and 34.1% for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In March 1998, the Company
acquired the Constant Power Manufacturing, Inc. (CPM) segment, which
manufactures industrial grade battery backup systems and battery chargers. The
CPM segment has generated sales as a percent of total revenue of 24.9% for the
three months ended June 30, 1998.

      The gross margin varies between each of its operating segments. Computer
product sales have produced a gross margin ranging from 22.3% and 24.4% for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This decrease is
attributable to the overall decline in IPD sales coupled with a relative fixed
production overhead. The gross margin for pipeline engineering services, which
reflects direct labor costs, has decreased slightly to 28.6% in 1998 from 29.0%
for the same period in 1997. Thermal's gross margin was 27.6% and 25.5% for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This increase was
attributable to the overall increase in sales volume from 1997 to 1998. Constant
Power generated a gross margin of 33.5% for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The overall gross margin for Industrial Data Systems Corporation, which
includes product sales, pipeline consulting services and Thermal for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and for Constant Power for three months ended June
30, 1998 was 27.9%. The overall gross margin for the Company for the same period
in 1997 was 26.9%. Gross margin for 1997 does not include any contribution from
Constant Power.

</TABLE>

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

      TOTAL REVENUE. Total revenue increased by $363,137 or 12.8% from
$2,845,425 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $3,208,562 in
1998. Revenue from the IPD, which comprised 9.6% of total revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, decreased by $206,072 or 40.0%. The decrease in IPD
revenue was attributable to a reduction in sales due to the timing of orders
between the periods. Revenue from the IED, which comprised 31.6% of total
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998, decreased by $91,387 or 8.3%.
Revenue from Thermal, which comprised 35.0% of total revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, decreased by $103,513 or 8.4%. Revenue from CPM
which accounted for 23.8% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30,
1998, was $764,108.

                                       8
<PAGE>
      GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by $275,241 or 38.0% from $725,119
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1,000,360 for the same period in
1998. The gross margin as a percentage of total revenues increased from 25.5%
for the period ended June 30, 1997 to 31.2% for the same period in 1998. The
increase was attributable to an increase in gross margin for the IED and Thermal
segments and the addition of CPM during the three months ended June 30, 1998.
The gross margin for the IPD decreased from 24.3% for the period ended June 30,
1997 to 8.1% for the same period in 1998. This decrease was attributable to a
reduction in sales revenue coupled with relative fixed production costs. The
gross margin for the IED increased from 27.7% for the period ended June 30, 1997
to 34.0% for the same period in 1998. This increase was due to securing jobs
that generate higher billing rates. The gross margin for Thermal increased from
24.0% for the period ended June 30, 1997 to 33.4% for the same period in 1998.
This increase was attributable to cost reduction measures implemented during the
1998 period.

      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $74,297 or 18.0% from $413,685 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $487,982 for the same period in
1998. As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased from 14.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to 15.2%
for the same period in 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of Constant Power and the consolidation of its personnel and
operations into existing office and production facilities.

      OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased by $209,339 or 75.3% from
$278,009 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $487,348 for the
same period in 1998. Operating income increased as a percentage of total revenue
from 9.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to 15.2% for the same period
in 1998. The increase in operating income was a result of an increase in overall
gross margin.

      OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other expense increased by $29,192 or 227.1% from
$12,856 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to ($16,336) for the same
period in 1998. This increase was due to a reduction in gains from marketable
securities and an increase in interest expense generated from utilization of
line of credit funds.

      NET INCOME. Net income after taxes increased by $27,873 or 14.9% from
$187,166 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $215,039 for the same
period in 1998. Net income after taxes increased as a percentage of total
revenue from 6.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to 6.7% for the same
period in 1998.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

FINANCIAL DATA REFLECTED FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 INCLUDES ONLY
THE FOUR MONTHS (MARCH - JUNE) FOR THERMAL'S OPERATIONS SINCE THE ACQUISITION IN
LATE FEBRUARY, 1997 AND DOES NOT REFLECT ANY CONTRIBUTION FROM CONSTANT POWER
FOR THE SAME PERIOD. FINANCIAL DATA REFLECTED FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1998 INCLUDES ONLY THREE MONTHS (APRIL - JUNE) FOR CONSTANT POWER'S OPERATIONS.

      TOTAL REVENUE. Total revenue increased by $1,532,284 or 35.6% from
$4,307,866 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $5,840,150 in
1998. Revenue from the IPD, which comprised 19.2% of total revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, increased by $134,360 or 16.3%. The increase in IPD
revenue was generated because the revenue generated in the 1997 period was
abnormally low.

                                       9
<PAGE>
Revenue from the IED which comprised 46.7% of total revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 increased by $47,822 or 2.4% from $2,013,078 in 1997 to
$2,060,900 for the same period in 1998. The slight increase in IED revenue was
due to an expansion in the scope of work performed for established clients.

Revenue from Thermal was $1,469,444 or 34.1 % of total revenue for the four
months (March - June), following the recent acquisition. Revenue from Thermal
was $2,055,438 or 35.2% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
This increase is primarily attributable to the 1998 numbers including a full six
months.

      GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by $468,871 or 40.4% from $1,159,837
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $1,628,708 for the same period in
1998. The gross margin for the IPD decreased from 24.4 % in the six months ended
June 30, 1997 to 22.3% for the same period in 1998. This decrease in IPD gross
margins was primarily due to an increase in production costs coupled with
relatively stable sales prices. The gross margin for the IED decreased from
29.0% for the period ended June 30, 1997 to 28.6% for the same period in 1998.
Thermal's gross margin increased from 25.5% for the four month period (March
- -June) 1997 to 27.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. This is
attributable to the difference in the length of the period.

      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $195,515 or 27.2% from $719,585 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $915,100 for the same period in 1998. As
a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased from 16.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to 15.7% for the
same period in 1998. This percentage decrease was primarily attributable to
overall increases in selling, general and administrative expenses which were
offset by greater increases in revenue.

      OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased by $274,694 or 71.5% from
$384,032 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $658,727 for the
same period in 1998. Operating income increased as a percentage of total revenue
from 8.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to 11.3% for the same period in
1998. The increase in operating income was a result of increased revenues,
improved gross profit and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percent of total revenue.

      OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other expense increased by $5,729 or 54.9% from
$10,439 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $16,168 for the same period in
1998. This increase was due to additional interest expense due to higher
utilization of the Company's line of credit and expenses associated with the
acquisition of Thermal and Constant Power. This increase was also due in part to
the Company having less realized gains on its marketable securities in the 1998
period as compared to the 1997 period to offset other expense.

      NET INCOME. Net income before taxes increased by $268,965 or 72.0% from
$373,594 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $642,559 for the same period
in 1998. Net income after taxes increased by $163,014 or 67.5% from $241,560 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $404,573 for the same period in 1998. Net
income after taxes increased as a percentage of total revenue from 5.6% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 to 6.9% for the same period in 1998 due to higher
margins and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
total revenue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Historically, the Company has satisfied its cash requirements principally
through borrowings under its line of credit and through operations. As of June
30, 1998, the Company's cash position, including marketable securities, was
sufficient to meet its working capital requirements. The 

                                       10
<PAGE>
Company had, as of June 30, 1998, $675,000 in additional advances available
under its line of credit with a bank. The Company's line of credit which
provides for maximum borrowings of $1,150,000, which bears interest at prime
plus 1%, is for a term of one year and matures on June 30, 1999. The line of
credit is secured by accounts receivable, inventory and the personal guarantees
of certain stockholders and officers of the Company. The Company has
consolidated its line of credit into one line for all subsidiaries. This
consolidation and renewal of its line of credit was effective June 30, 1998.

       The Company's working capital was $1,994,467 and $3,487,506 at December
31, 1997 and June 30, 1998, respectively.


      CASH FLOW

      Operating activities used net cash totaling $554,903 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and generated $531,510 for the six months ended June 30,
1998. The Company did not generate significant cash flow from operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997, due to the working capital
requirements resulting from the rapid growth of the Company. Trade accounts
receivable decreased $202,536 since December 31, 1997. Inventory increased by
$425,932 for the same period.

      Investing activities used cash totaling, $1,321,221 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and used cash totaling $275,815 for the same period in 1998.
The Company's investing activities that used cash during the period ended June
30, 1997 was primarily related to the purchase of Thermal and its facilities.

      As of June 30, 1998, the Company had a portfolio of marketable securities
which had a fair market value of $590,087 and consisted of common stocks, bonds
and mutual funds. The common stocks, and bonds that the Company holds consists
of securities which are traded on three national exchanges - the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ National Market System.
These securities are frequently traded by the Company. The mutual funds that the
Company has available for sale are open-end stock funds which are managed by
Smith Barney & Co. These mutual fund investments are generally held for longer
than a one-year period. These securities are traded by the Company as part of
its plan to provide additional cash for working capital requirements.

      The marketable securities to be held to maturity are stated at amortized
cost. Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at
market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component
of stockholder's equity, net of deferred income taxes. If a decline in market
value is determined to be other than temporary, any such loss is charged to
earnings. Marketable securities accounted for as trading securities are stated
at market value, with unrealized gains and losses charged to income. William A.
Coskey, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for
managing the Company's portfolio of marketable securities. The funds used in
this portfolio were from generally available from cash reserves.

      The Company has implemented a policy that restricts it from purchasing any
securities on margin, and also limits the investment of any one security or
mutual fund to represent no more than 10% of the Company's investment portfolio.
The Company believes that the risks associated with its investment portfolio are
slightly higher than the risk of loss in a Standard & Poor's 500 Index Fund.
This higher risk is due to the less diverse distribution of the Company's
portfolio as compared to the broadly based Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.

                                       11
<PAGE>
      Financing activities provided cash totaling $32,879 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, which was utilization of line of credit and repayment on
the term note for Thermal's facilities. The Company has additional financing
amounts of $675,000 available on its line of credit at June 30, 1998. The line
of credit has been used principally to finance accounts receivable and inventory
purchases.

      ASSET MANAGEMENT

      The Company's cash flow from operations has been affected primarily by the
timing of its collection of trade accounts receivable. The Company typically
sells its products and services on short-term credit terms and seeks to minimize
its credit risk by performing credit checks and conducting its own collection
efforts. The Company had net trade accounts receivable of $1,717,951and
$2,066,328 at June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The number of days' sales
outstanding in trade accounts receivable was 85 days and 64 days, respectively.
Bad debt expenses have been insignificant for each of these periods.
