              INNOVATIVE VALVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     Innovative Valve Technologies, Inc. ("Invatec") was incorporated in
Delaware in March 1997 to create the leading single-source provider of
comprehensive maintenance, repair, replacement and value-added distribution
services for industrial valves and related process-system components throughout
North America. Except for its purchase of Steam Supply & Rubber Co., Inc. and
three related entities (collectively, "Steam Supply") in July 1997, Invatec
conducted no operations of its own prior to the closing on October 28, 1997 of
(i) its initial public offering (the "IPO") of its common stock, par value
$.001 per share ("Common Stock"), (ii) its purchase of Industrial Controls &
Equipment, Inc. and three related entities (collectively, "ICE/VARCO") and
Southern Valve Services, Inc. and a related entity (collectively, "SVS") and
(iii) a merger (the "SSI Merger") in which The Safe Seal Company, Inc.
("SSI") became its subsidiary. Earlier in 1997, SSI had purchased Harley
Industries, Inc. ("Harley"), GSV, Inc. ("GSV") and Plant Specialties, Inc.
("PSI"). SSI and its subsidiaries were affiliates of Invatec prior to the SSI
Merger.

     For financial reporting purposes, SSI is presented as the "accounting
acquirer" of Steam Supply, ICE/VARCO, SVS, Harley, GSV and PSI (collectively,
the "Acquired Businesses"), and, as used herein, the term "Company" means
(i) SSI and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to October 31, 1997 and (ii)
Invatec and its consolidated subsidiaries (including SSI) on that date and
thereafter.

     The Company is accounting for the acquisitions of the Acquired Businesses
in accordance with the purchase method of accounting. For accounting purposes,
the effective dates of the acquisitions of the Acquired Businesses (the
"Acquisitions") in 1997 are as follows: (i) Harley -- January 31; (ii) GSV --
February 28; (iii) PSI -- May 31; (iv) Steam Supply -- July 31, and (v)
ICE/VARCO and SVS -- October 31. The allocation of the purchase prices paid to
the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Acquisitions has been
recorded initially on the basis of preliminary estimates of fair value and may
be revised as additional information concerning the valuation of those assets
and liabilities becomes available.

     The accompanying historical consolidated statements of operations present
historical information of the Company which gives effect to the acquisitions of
Harley, GSV and PSI as of their respective acquisition dates. The accompanying
unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations present historical
information as adjusted to give effect to the following events and transactions
as if they had occurred on January 1, 1996: (i) the SSI Merger and all the
Acquisitions; (ii) the financing of the purchase prices paid for the Acquired
Businesses; (iii) the reverse stock splits described in Note 6; (iv) the
issuance of Common Stock and the payment of cash to repay indebtedness owed to
Philip Services Corp. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "Philip"); and (v)
the closing of the IPO and the application of Invatec's proceeds therefrom. The
unaudited pro forma statements convert the results of operations of the Acquired
Businesses whose historical fiscal periods were not on a calendar-year basis to
a calendar-year basis and include pro forma adjustments consisting principally
of the following: (i) the adjustments to selling, general and administrative
expenses described below; (ii) adjustments for the effects of recording
inventories on a first-in, first-out rather than on a last-in first-out basis at
PSI and Steam Supply; (iii) adjustments for pro forma goodwill amortization
using a 40-year estimated life; (iv) eliminations of historical interest expense
resulting from the application of proceeds from the IPO and the use of Common
Stock to retire outstanding indebtedness; and (v) adjustments to federal and
state income tax provisions.

     The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations include
preliminary pro forma adjustments to selling, general and administrative
expenses to reflect: (i) the decrease in salaries and benefits associated with
certain owners and managers of the Acquired Businesses who were not employed by
the Company after the acquisition of their Acquired Businesses and will not be
replaced; (ii) the elimination of certain excess administrative support service
fees charged by ICE/VARCO's former parent company; and (iii) the reversal of the
special non-cash, non-recurring compensation expense attributable to stock
awards made by SSI and Common Stock sales and option awards made by Invatec.

              INNOVATIVE VALVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The integration of the Acquired Businesses may present opportunities to
reduce other costs through the elimination of duplicative functions and
operating locations and the development of economies of scale, particularly as a
result of the Company's ability to (i) consolidate insurance programs, (ii)
borrow at lower interest rates than the Acquired Businesses, (iii) obtain
greater discounts from suppliers and (iv) generate savings in other general and
administrative areas. The Company cannot currently quantify these anticipated
savings and expects these savings will be partially offset by incremental costs
that the Company expects to incur, but also cannot currently quantify
accurately. These costs include those associated with corporate management and
administration, being a public company, systems integration and facilities
expansions and consolidations. The unaudited pro forma financial information
herein reflects neither unquantifiable expected savings nor unquantifiable
expected incremental costs.

     The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that management deems appropriate. The pro
forma adjustments do not reflect amounts related to certain post-closing
adjustments, which may affect goodwill and debt. In addition, the unaudited pro
forma combined statements of operations do not include adjustments for $330,000
of bonuses paid to three executive officers of Invatec on completion of the IPO
and $260,000 of financing charges due to Philip to be recorded subsequent to
September 30, 1997.

     The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared by the
Company without audit, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which permit certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles to be condensed or omitted. The
Company believes the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make
the information not misleading, and the financial statements reflect all
elimination entries and normal adjustments that are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods ended September 30, 1996 and
1997.

     Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for a full year. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Fluctuations in Operating Results" in
Item 2 of this Part I.

2.  SPECIAL COMPENSATION EXPENSE ON COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE:

     In the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company recorded a special
non-cash compensation expense of approximately $2.6 million related to the
issuance of 443,190 shares of SSI common stock to three members of executive
management and to Computerized Accounting & Tax Services, Inc. ("CATS"), a
related party owned by a major stockholder, to attract such individuals and CATS
to effect the IPO. For financial statement presentation purposes, these shares
were valued at approximately $5.85 per share.

3.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share," issued in February 1997, revises the calculations to be used in
determining earnings per share ("EPS"). Consistent with the provisions of SFAS
No. 128, the Company will begin using the new EPS calculation effective December
31, 1997. The Company believes implementation of SFAS No. 128 will not have a
material effect on its calculation of earnings per share as reported herein.

     SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" issued in June 1997,
establishes standards for the reporting of comprehensive income in a company's
financial statements. Comprehensive income includes all changes in a company's
equity during the period which result from transactions with its stockholders.
For the Company, SFAS No. 130 will be effective for the year beginning January
1, 1998. The Company has not completed its analysis of the impact of this new
pronouncement. On the basis of a preliminary

                                       8

              INNOVATIVE VALVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

review, the Company believes implementation of SFAS No. 130 will not have a
material effect on its financial statements.

4.  LONG-TERM DEBT:

     Contemporaneously with the closing of the IPO, Invatec entered into a $60.0
million revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of
commercial banks. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for
acquisitions and general corporate purposes. For a description of the Credit
Facility, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 2 of this
Part I. The Credit Facility replaced SSI's commercial credit facilities in
effect on September 30, 1997, and the current maturities of the Company's
long-term debt outstanding as of that date have been repaid with proceeds from
the IPO.

     For information respecting long-term debt issued by Invatec as part of the
purchase price for Steam Supply and by SSI as part of the purchase price for
PSI, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 2 of this
Part I.

5.  INCOME TAXES:

     Prior to the Acquisitions, certain Acquired Businesses' stockholders were
taxed under the provisions of subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under
these provisions, the stockholders paid income taxes on their proportionate
share of their companies' earnings. Because the stockholders were taxed
directly, their businesses paid no federal income tax and only certain state
income taxes.

     The Company intends to file a consolidated federal income tax return that
will include the operations of the Acquired Businesses for periods subsequent to
their respective acquisition dates. The Acquired Businesses will be separately
responsible for filing "short period" federal income tax returns through their
respective acquisition dates.

     The provisions for income taxes included in the unaudited pro forma
combined statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997 are estimates of the federal and state income taxes
that would have been applicable to the Company had it effected all the
Acquisitions on January 1, 1996. The tax rates indicated by these provisions
differ from statutory federal and state rates primarily because amortization of
goodwill arising from the Acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes. The
provision for income taxes included in the unaudited consolidated income
statement for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 differs from statutory
federal and state rates primarily due to the partial recognition of certain net
operating loss benefits carried forward by SSI.

6.  CAPITAL STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS:

     Prior to the SSI Merger, SSI and Invatec each effected a 0.68-for-one
reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared as if these splits had been effected on January 1,
1996.

     As a result of the SSI Merger: (i) the shares of SSI common stock and
redeemable preferred stock outstanding as of September 30, 1997 were converted
into shares of Common Stock; (ii) outstanding options and a warrant to purchase
shares of SSI common stock were converted into options to purchase Common Stock;
and (iii) SSI's authorized capital stock became 1,000 shares of SSI common
stock, par value $1.00 per share, all of which have been issued and are
outstanding and owned by Invatec.

     Invatec's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to
30.0 million shares of Common Stock, of which 7,819,920 shares were issued and
outstanding as of November 30, 1997, and 5.0 million shares of preferred stock,
none of which has been issued.

     Invatec sold 3,852,500 shares of Common Stock in the IPO, consisting of
3,350,000 shares sold on October 28, 1997 and 502,500 shares sold on November 5,
1997 pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option Invatec had granted
its underwriters. The initial price to the public in the IPO was $13.00,

                                       9

              INNOVATIVE VALVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

and Invatec's proceeds from the IPO, net of an underwriting discount of
$3,505,775 and estimated IPO expenses of $2.8 million, including approximately
$1.5 million of expenses which were initially funded through advances obtained
from Philip, totaled $43.8 million.

     At November 30, 1997, an aggregate of 363,497 shares of Common Stock were
issuable at an initial conversion price of $16.90 per share on the conversion of
convertible notes issued as part of the purchase prices for Steam Supply and PSI
and an aggregate of 1,308,248 shares of Common Stock were issuable on the
exercise of stock options then outstanding under Invatec's 1997 Incentive Plan,
of which options to purchase a total of 533,873 shares then were exercisable at
exercise prices ranging from $1.00 per share to $13.00 per share.

7.  EARNINGS PER SHARE:

     For historical periods through September 30, 1997, earnings per share
amounts are not meaningful. Accordingly, historical earnings per share for these
periods have not been presented.

     The computation of pro forma net income per share of Common Stock for the
interim periods presented is based on 7,819,920 shares of Common Stock
outstanding, as follows:

Issued prior to the IPO..............      242,839

(1) The cash consideration paid for Harley (i) is net of approximately $3.8
    million in cash and notes received from the sale of a discontinued operation
    of Harley, subject to adjustment, and (ii) includes $1.0 million paid in
    cash to the former owners of Harley on completion of the IPO.

(2) Includes $3.3 million aggregate principal amount of notes issued by Philip.

(3) Cash includes $0.7 million of Steam Supply preferred stock that remains
    outstanding.

(4) Cash includes cash paid to former owners of, and debt assumed from, the
    Acquired Businesses.

(5) Includes (i) the issuance of convertible subordinated notes of $3.3 million
    to the former owners of PSI and $2.8 million to the former owners of Steam
    Supply which may be converted into Common Stock at $16.90 per share at the
    option of the note holders and (ii) a $0.9 million SSI note issued to the
    former owners of PSI which is secured by real property.

     Of the total purchase price paid for the Acquisitions, $26.7 million has
been allocated to net assets acquired, and the remaining $23.7 million has been
recorded as goodwill. On the basis of management's preliminary analysis, the
Company expects the historical carrying values of the Acquired Businesses'
assets and liabilities will approximate fair value, but this analysis is subject
to revision as more information regarding asset and liability valuations becomes
available.

9.  RELATIONSHIP WITH INVATEC:

     From May 1997 until the closing of the IPO, SSI and Invatec were under the
common control of a voting trustee pursuant to two voting trust agreements
covering a majority of the outstanding SSI common stock and most of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. These agreements terminated on October 28,
1997.

10.  RELATIONSHIP WITH PHILIP:

     In 1996, Philip agreed to make certain advances (the "Philip Advances")
to SSI to enable SSI, or its successors, to pursue a possible initial public
offering. As a result of Philip's financial support of SSI's acquisition of
Harley, Philip became a related party of the Company for financial statement
presentation purposes effective January 31, 1997. In June 1997, Invatec entered
into a funding arrangement with Philip pursuant to which Philip advanced funds
to Invatec to pay costs related to the IPO and Invatec assumed SSI's obligation
to repay the Philip Advances and the related deferred offering costs funded with
the Philip Advances. Pursuant to that agreement, certain amounts of short-term
debt and accrued financing charges were transferred from SSI to Invatec.

     In connection with the IPO, Invatec issued 1,036,013 shares of Common Stock
to Philip as payment of $8.6 million of indebtedness owed to Philip. Immediately
after the IPO, Invatec repaid the remaining $3.0 million of indebtedness owed to
Philip in cash. At November 30, 1997, Philip owned 2,340,716 shares of Common
Stock, or approximately 30.0% of the shares then outstanding.

11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     In November 1997, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of a valve repair and distribution company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
for $1.6 million. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations do
not include the results of this acquisition.

                                       11

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

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated and unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and the notes
thereto which are included in Item 1 of this Part I.

OVERVIEW

     The Company derives its revenue principally from (i) sales of industrial
valves and other process-system components to its process-industry customers and
commissions paid by the manufacturers of these products in connection with their
direct sales of these products and (ii) performance of comprehensive,
maintenance, repair, replacement and value-added distribution services of
industrial valves and process-system components for its customers. Cost of
operations consists principally of direct costs of valves and components sold,
coupled with labor and overhead costs connected with the performance of repair
services. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of
compensation and benefits payable to owners and to sales, management and
administrative personnel and insurance, depreciation and amortization and other
related expenses.

     SSI has been identified as the "accounting acquirer" for financial
reporting purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- PRO FORMA COMBINED

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations
include pro forma adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses to
reflect (i) the decrease in salaries and benefits associated with certain owners
and managers of the Acquired Businesses who were not employed by the Company
after the acquisition of their Acquired Businesses and will not be replaced,
(ii) the elimination of certain excess administrative support service fees
charged by ICE/VARCO's former parent company and (iii) the reversal of the
special non-cash, non-recurring compensation expenses described below, which
were attributable to stock awards made by SSI and Common Stock sales and certain
option awards made by Invatec. These unaudited pro forma statements also convert
the results of operations of Acquired Businesses whose historical fiscal periods
were not on a calendar-year basis to a calendar-year basis.

     The integration of the Acquired Businesses may present opportunities to
reduce other costs through the elimination of duplicative functions and
operating locations and the development of economies of scale, particularly as a
result of the Company's ability to (i) consolidate insurance programs, (ii)
borrow at lower interest rates than the Acquired Businesses, (iii) obtain
greater discounts from suppliers and (iv) generate savings in other general
administrative areas. The Company cannot currently quantify these anticipated
savings and expects these savings will be partially offset by incremental costs
that the Company expects to incur, but also cannot currently quantify
accurately. These costs include those associated with corporate management and
administration, being a public company, systems integration and facilities
expansions and consolidations. The unaudited pro forma combined financial
information herein reflects neither unquantifiable expected savings nor
unquantifiable expected incremental costs.

     In connection with certain issuances of SSI common stock by SSI and sales
of Common Stock and option awards by Invatec during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, Invatec and SSI recorded non-cash, non-recurring
compensation charges in that period of $7.6 million, representing the difference
between the amount paid for the shares (or, in the case of option awards, the
exercise price of the options) and the estimated fair value of the shares on the
date of issuance or sale. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations contain adjustments to reverse the effects of these compensation
charges as they are considered to be non-recurring.

                                       12

     The unaudited pro forma combined results of operations for the interim
periods presented below do not purport to be comparable to and may not be
indicative of the Company's post-combination results of operations because (i)
SSI and the Acquired Businesses were not under common control or management
throughout the periods presented and (ii) the Company established a new basis of
accounting to record the purchase of the Acquired Businesses under the purchase

     THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

     REVENUES -- Revenues increased $1.1 million, or 5.7%, from $20.3 million in
the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $21.4 million in the corresponding
period in 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to a $1.0 million
increase in revenues of GSV resulting from its broad and continued penetration
of new markets.

     GROSS PROFIT -- Gross profit increased $0.6 million, or 10.3%, from $6.1
million in the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $6.7 million in the
corresponding period in 1997. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit
increased to 31.6% in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 30.3% in
the same period in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to a shift in
the mix of products sold toward value-added distribution services that
historically have generated higher gross profit margins.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES -- Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 21.5%, from $5.0 million in
the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $6.1 million in the corresponding
period in 1997. This increase was primarily the result of $0.9 million of costs
associated with the non-recurring building of Invatec's corporate management
team. Excluding the effect of these corporate management costs, selling, general
and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 24.3% in
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 24.9% in the corresponding period
in 1996.

     NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

     REVENUES -- Revenues increased $11.2 million, or 19.8%, from $56.9 million
in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $68.1 million in the
corresponding period in 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to the
following: (i) a $5.2 million increase in the revenues of Harley resulting from
its acquisition of a business in June 1996 and from strengthened sales of its
existing and new product lines; (ii) a $1.3 million increase in the revenues of
ICE/VARCO associated with its acquisition of a business in August 1996 and its
continued penetration of existing markets; and (iii) a $1.6 million increase in
revenues of GSV attributable to the addition of a significant product line late
in 1996 and GSV's continued emphasis on developing and pursuing new markets.

     GROSS PROFIT -- Gross profit increased $3.7 million, or 20.7%, from $17.6
million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $21.3 million in the
corresponding period in 1997. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit
increased to 31.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 31.0% in the
corresponding period in 1996. This slight increase was primarily attributable to
a shift in the mix of products sold toward value-added distribution services
that historically have generated higher gross profit margins.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES -- Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $3.4 million, or 24%, from $14.4 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $17.8 million in the corresponding
period in 1997. This increase reflected expenses attributable to the business
Harley acquired in June 1996 and approximately $2.2 million associated with the
building of Invatec's corporate management team during the first nine months of
1997. Excluding the effect of the Invatec corporate management costs, selling,
general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to
22.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 25.3% in the same period
in 1996.

     THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

     REVENUES -- Revenues increased $12.4 million, or 1024.6%, from $1.2 million
in the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $13.6 million in the
corresponding period in 1997. This increase resulted from the inclusion of the
results of Harley, GSV and PSI from their respective dates of acquisition,
January 31, February 28 and May 31, 1997.

     GROSS PROFIT -- Gross profit increased $4.1 million, or 980.6%, from $0.4
million in the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $4.5 million in the
corresponding period in 1997. This increase occurred principally as a result of
the incremental gross margin generated by Harley, GSV and PSI. As a percentage
of revenues, gross profit decreased from 34.6% in the three months ended
September 30, 1996 to 33.2% in the same period in 1997. This decrease reflected
the expansion of the Company's consolidated operations to include the
distribution and related services operations of Harley and the on-site and
in-shop repair services of Harley, GSV and PSI, which historically have
generated lower gross margins than SSI's gross margins attributable to its
on-line repair services operations.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES -- Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $2.9 million, or 903.1%, from $0.3 million in
the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $3.2 million in the corresponding
period in 1997. This increase reflected the incremental selling, general and
administrative expenses of Harley, GSV and PSI. As a percentage of revenues,
these expenses decreased from 26.3% in the three months ended September 30, 1996
to 23.5% in the same period in 1997 as a result of being spread over a larger
revenue base.

     NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

     REVENUES -- Revenues increased $30.6 million, or 1084.9%, from $2.8 million
in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $33.4 million in the
corresponding period in 1997. The increase primarily resulted from the inclusion
of the results of Harley, GSV and PSI from their respective dates of
acquisition.

     GROSS PROFIT -- Gross profit increased $9.7 million, or 860.1%, from $1.1
million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $10.8 million in the
corresponding period in 1997. This increase occurred principally as a result of
the incremental gross margin generated by Harley, GSV and PSI. As a percentage
of revenues, gross profit decreased from 39.9% in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to 32.3% in

                                       14

the same period in 1997. This decrease reflected the expansion of the Company's
consolidated operations to include the distribution and related services
operations of Harley and the on-site and in-shop repair services of Harley, GSV
and PSI, which historically have generated lower gross margins than SSI's gross
margins attributable to its on-line repair services operations.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES -- Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $6.9 million, or 575.0%, from $1.2 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $8.1 million in the corresponding
period in 1997. This increase reflected the incremental selling, general and
administrative expenses of Harley, GSV and PSI. As a percentage of revenues,
these expenses decreased from 42.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 1996
to 24.3% in the corresponding period in 1997 as a result of being spread over a
larger revenue base.

     SPECIAL COMPENSATION EXPENSE ON COMMON STOCK ISSUANCES -- In connection
with the issuance of common stock to certain members of management and a
management services provider, the Company recorded a $2.6 million special
non-cash, non-recurring compensation charge in the nine months ended September
30, 1997.

FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS

     The Company's results of operations may fluctuate significantly from
quarter to quarter or year to year because of a number of factors, including the
timing of future acquisitions, seasonal fluctuations in the demand for the
Company's services and competitive factors. Accordingly, quarterly comparisons
of the Company's revenues and operating results should not be relied on as an
indication of future performance, and the results of any quarterly period may
not be indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1997, after giving pro forma effect to the following
events and transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 1997 -- (i) the
SSI Merger and the acquisitions of ICE/VARCO and SVS; (ii) the issuance of
Common Stock and the payment of cash to repay indebtedness owed to Philip; and
(iii) the sale of 3,852,500 shares of Common Stock in the IPO and the
application of Invatec's proceeds therefrom, the Company's consolidated
short-term debt (including current maturities of consolidated long-term debt)
would have been $0.1 million, while the Company's consolidated long-term debt
(net of current maturities) and other long-term obligations to third parties
would have totaled $7.5 million and the Company's consolidated stockholders'
equity would have totaled $60.0 million.

     The Credit Facility is a three-year revolving credit facility pursuant to
which Invatec may borrow up to $60.0 million to finance acquisitions and for
general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of borrowed-money
indebtedness of acquired businesses and fund working capital needs. Loans under
the Credit Facility will bear interest at a designated variable base rate plus a
margin ranging from 0 to 50 basis points depending on the ratio of the Company's
borrowed-money and certain other indebtedness to its trailing pro forma
consolidated earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. At Invatec's option, loans may bear interest based on a designated
London interbank offering rate plus a margin ranging from 100 to 200 basis
points depending on the same ratio. The margin is subject to being reset from
time to time. Commitment fees of 25 to 40 basis points per annum are payable on
the unused portion of the line of credit. The Credit Facility has a $5.0 million
sublimit for standby letters of credit. It requires the consent of the lenders
for any acquisition involving a purchase price of greater than $5.0 million,
prohibits the payment of dividends by Invatec, limits the amount of indebtedness
the Company may incur and requires the Company to comply with certain financial
covenants. The Credit Facility will terminate and all amounts outstanding, if
any, thereunder, will be due and payable in September 2000. The Company's
subsidiaries have guaranteed the repayment of, and the capital stock of those
subsidiaries and the Company's accounts receivable and inventories will be
collateral security for, all amounts owed under the Credit Facility. At November
30, 1997, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.

                                       15

     At November 30, 1997, the Company's capitalization included approximately
$3.3 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% convertible subordinated notes
due 2002 and $2.8 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% convertible
subordinated notes due 2004, which were issued as consideration in the
acquisitions of PSI and Steam Supply, respectively. These notes are convertible
into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $16.90 per share (i) at the
option of the holder in whole at any time and (ii) at the option of Invatec in
whole at any time after the closing sales prices of the Common Stock for a
period of 20 consecutive trading days beginning in 1999 exceeds $19.50 per
share.

     The Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations will provide
cash in excess of the Company's normal working capital needs, debt service
requirements and planned capital expenditures for property and equipment for at
least the next several years. On a combined basis, Invatec, SSI and the Acquired
Businesses made capital expenditures of $1.9 million in fiscal year 1996 and
$0.8 million during the first nine months of 1997. Invatec presently expects
that the Company's capital expenditures during the balance of 1997 will total
approximately $0.2 million (excluding acquisitions of businesses).

     The Company intends to pursue attractive acquisition opportunities. The
timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated potential
capital commitments are unpredictable. The Company expects to fund future
acquisitions through the issuance of additional equity as well as through a
combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings, including borrowings
under the Credit Facility.

                          PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     Steam Supply and a Mobil Corp. unit are named defendants in a proceeding
initiated by the City of Long Beach, California in October 1997 in a Long Beach
municipal court. The complaint arises from an in-shop repair Steam Supply
performed in February 1997, alleges the repair involved a release of hydrogen
sulfide gas into the atmosphere in violation of the California Health & Safety
Code and seeks monetary sanctions. Management of the Company believes this
proceeding will not have any material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition or operating results.

     The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen in
the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that any of these
proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
operating results.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

     (a)  Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, William E. Haynes had
sole voting power over all the outstanding shares of Common Stock through his
direct ownership of shares and pursuant to two separate voting trusts (the
"Voting Trusts") of which he was the voting trustee (in that capacity, the
"Voting Trustee"). On the closing of the IPO, the Voting Trusts terminated
pursuant to their respective terms and the voting power with respect to the
shares of Common Stock previously subject thereto reverted to the beneficial
owners of those shares.

     On October 20, 1997, Invatec's certificate of incorporation was amended to
effect a 0.68-for-one reverse stock split of the then outstanding Common Stock.
All Invatec share and per share information contained in this Report has been
presented on a basis that gives effect to that reverse stock split.

     (b)  The Credit Facility prohibits Invatec and its subsidiaries from (i)
redeeming, retiring or otherwise acquiring, directly or indirectly, any shares
of Common Stock and (ii) making any dividends or distributions of cash or
property to any shareholder of Invatec, without the prior written consent of the
lenders.

     (c)  In March 1997, Invatec sold a total of 146,959 shares of Common Stock
to certain of its executive officers (William E. Haynes, Charles F. Schugart and
Frank L. Lombard) and CATS, for a total purchase price of $216.12. In June 1997,
Invatec sold a total of 95,880 shares of Common Stock to its executive officers
(Messrs. Haynes, Schugart, Denny A. Rigas, Lombard, John L. King and Douglas R.
Harrington, Jr.) and CATS for a total purchase price of $141.00. These sales
were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof as
transactions not involving any public offering.

     In June 1997, SSI issued $3.3 million aggregate principal amount of its
5.0% convertible subordinated notes to the former owners of PSI as partial
payment of the purchase price for the stock of PSI. Invatec succeeded SSI as the
obligor on those notes and, on the closing of the IPO, those notes became
convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $16.90
per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions,
(i) at the option of the holder in whole at any time and (ii) at the option of
Invatec in whole at any time after the closing sales prices of the Common Stock
for a period of 20 consecutive trading days beginning in 1999 exceeds $19.50 per
share. The sale of those notes (and the underlying rights to shares of Common
Stock) was exempt, and Invatec's succession as the obligor thereon was exempt,
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section
4(2) thereof as transactions not involving any public offering. The issuance of
shares of Common Stock on conversion of those notes will be exempt from those
requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

     In July 1997, Invatec issued $2.8 million aggregate principal amount of its
5.5% convertible subordinated notes to the former owners of Steam Supply as
partial payment of the purchase price for the stock of Steam Supply. On the
closing of the IPO, those notes became convertible into shares of Common Stock
at an initial conversion price of $16.90 per share, subject to adjustment
pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions, (i) at the option of the holder
in whole at any time and (ii) at the option of Invatec in whole at any time
after the closing sales prices of the Common Stock for a period of 20
consecutive trading

                                       17

days beginning in 1999 exceeds $19.50 per share. The sale of those notes (and
the underlying rights to shares of Common Stock) was exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2)
thereof as transactions not involving any public offering. The issuance of
shares of Common Stock on conversion of those notes will be exempt from those
requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

     Before the completion of the IPO, Invatec issued shares of Common Stock in
connection with the SSI Merger. Concurrently with the completion of the IPO,
Invatec issued 115,383 shares of Common Stock in connection with its acquisition
of SVS. These transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof as not involving any public
offering.

     Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, Invatec issued to Philip (i) an
aggregate of 1,036,013 shares of Common Stock in repayment of an aggregate of
$8.6 million of indebtedness owed by Invatec to Philip and (ii) 153,846 shares
of Common Stock in redemption of 20,000 shares of SSI preferred stock issued by
SSI to Philip and having an aggregate redemption price of $2.0 million. These
conversions were (and the initial issuances of the securities evidencing these
obligations were) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof as transactions not involving any public
offering.

     (d)  The shares of Common Stock issued and sold in the IPO were registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg.
No. 333-31617), which was declared effective by the SEC subsequent to the end of
the period covered by this Report, on October 21, 1997. That Registration
Statement initially registered an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock
having a maximum aggregate offering price of $59,386,400. Subsequently, Invatec
determined to offer 3,350,000 shares of Common Stock in the IPO and granted the
underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 502,500 additional shares, solely
to cover over-allotments. The IPO was completed through a syndicate of
underwriters for which NationsBanc Montgomery Securities, Inc. and Furman Selz
LLC acted as representatives.
