                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED 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 an established business 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 ("Common
Stock"), (ii) its purchase of two established businesses and (iii) a merger (the
"SSI Merger") in which The Safe Seal Company, Inc. ("SSI") became its
subsidiary. Earlier in 1997, SSI had purchased three established businesses. 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 the seven businesses it and Invatec purchased through the IPO
closing date(collectively, the "Initial 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.

        Following the IPO, the Company purchased four businesses in the fourth
quarter of 1997 and three businesses in the first quarter of 1998 (these
businesses, together with the Initial Acquired Businesses, are referred to
herein as the "Acquired Businesses"). The Company is accounting for the
acquisitions of the Aqcuired Businesses in accordance with the purchase method
of accounting. The allocation of the purchase prices paid to the assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed in the acquisitions of the Acquired Businesses 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 as of their respective
acquisition dates.

        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 March 31, 1997 and
1998.

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

     Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for full years. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Fluctuations in Operating Results" in
Item 2 of this Part I. Invatec's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 1997 (the "1997 10-K Report") includes the Company's consolidated
financial statements and related notes for 1997.

2.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" requires the presentation of comprehensive income in an
entity's financial statements. Comprehensive income represents all changes in
equity of an entity during the reporting period, including net income and
charges directly to equity which are excluded from net income (such as
additional minimum pension liability changes, currency translation adjustments,
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities). The Company
adopted this standard effective January 1, 1998. The adoption of this standard
did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. For the
three month period ended March 31, 1998, there were no material items of
comprehensive income other than net income.

3.  INCOME TAXES:

     Certain of the Acquired Businesses' were subject to the provisions of
subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code prior to their acquisition by the
Company. Under these provisions, their former stockholders paid income taxes on
their proportionate share of the earnings of these businesses. Because the
stockholders were taxed directly, their businesses paid no federal income tax
and only certain state income taxes.

     The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return that includes
the operations of the Acquired Businesses for periods subsequent to their
respective acquisition dates.

     The provision for income taxes included in the unaudited consolidated
statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 differs from
statutory federal and state rates primarily because of the partial recognition
of certain net operating loss benefits carried forward by SSI.

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE:

     The computation of net income per share of common stock for the interim
periods presented is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per
Share" based on the following shares of Common Stock outstanding:

                                                           1997          1998

The weighted average diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of
convertible subordinated notes which were outstanding during the periods
presented. The interest expense related to dilutive convertible subordinated
notes was approximately $46,000.

5.    ACQUISITIONS:

        During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company acquired three
businesses for $30.4 million in cash and assumed debt, $0.4 million of
convertible subordinated notes and 807,828 shares of Common Stock. Of the total
purchase price paid for these acquisitions, $11 million has been allocated to
the net assets acquired and the remaining $32 million has been recorded as
