REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To Integrated Electrical Services, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 2001. 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. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Integrated Electrical Services, Inc., and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BUSINESS: Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (the "Company" or "IES"), a Delaware corporation, was founded in June 1997 to create a leading national provider of electrical services, focusing primarily on the commercial and industrial, residential, communications solutions and service and maintenance markets. In the course of its operations, the Company is subject to certain risk factors, including but not limited to: exposure to downturns in the economy, risks related to its acquisition strategy, risks related to management of internal growth and execution of strategy, management of external growth, availability of qualified employees, competition, seasonality, risks associated with contracts, significant fluctuations in quarterly results, recoverability of goodwill, collectibility of receivables, dependence on key personnel and risks associated with the availability of capital and with debt service. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IES, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and certain investments. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform with the presentation used in 2001. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Inventories Inventories consist of parts and supplies held for use in the ordinary course of business and are valued by the Company at the lower of cost or market generally using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Marketable Securities and Equity Investment At September 30, 2001, the Company has a 20.6% equity interest in Energy Photovoltaics, Inc. (EPV) of $4.9 million which is included in other noncurrent assets. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock." In the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized a $0.4 million loss as its portion of this investment's losses. This amount is included as a component of other income/expense in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. None of the Company's investments qualified for accounting treatment under the equity method of accounting as of September 30, 2000. Additionally, the Company has notes receivable totaling approximately $1.3 million with EPV at September 30, 2001. See Note 13 for further commitments. The Company accounts for all other marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Management determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company has certain marketable securities that are categorized as "available for sale" and are carried at fair value and included in other noncurrent assets. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of taxes, are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in stockholders' equity until realized. During the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company disposed of one of its' available for sale investments for approximately $0.3 million and realized a loss of $0.7 million. Such loss is included as a component of other income/expense in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2001. At September 30, 2000 and 2001, the Company's investments in marketable securities have fair values of $1.7 million and $1.5 million (cost of $1.7 million and $1.4 million), respectively. 29

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Property and Equipment Additions of property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation expense was approximately $6,728,000, $17,970,000 and $15,757,000 for the years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. In accordance with its ongoing review of capitalized software, during 2000, the Company curtailed the development of a complex and proprietary information system. This comprehensive information system had been under development for approximately one year. After a period of field-testing, the Company determined that it was necessary to significantly alter the technological architecture of the system in order to reduce ongoing support, maintenance and communications costs. Accordingly, the Company recorded a pretax charge of approximately $6.8 million, of which $5.7 million was included in depreciation expense for the year, to write-off the carrying value of the software costs, development costs and certain hardware and network infrastructure costs. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of purchase price paid by the Company in the acquisition of businesses accounted for as purchases over the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. As of September 30, 2000 and 2001, accumulated amortization was approximately $25,761,000 and $38,744,000, respectively. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of intangibles resulting from business acquisitions and measures the amount of impairment, if any, by assessing current and future levels of income and cash flows as well as other factors, such as business trends and prospects and market and economic conditions. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset will be compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if such an impairment exists. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs related to the Company's credit facility and the senior subordinated notes are included in other noncurrent assets and are amortized to interest expense over the scheduled maturity of the debt. As of September 30, 2000 and 2001, accumulated amortization of debt issuance costs were approximately $2,458,000 and $1,871,000, respectively. Debt issuance costs of $1,918,000 associated with the Company's previous credit facility, as amended, were fully amortized during the year ended September 30, 2001. During the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company capitalized $5.4 million of offering costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the senior subordinated notes and obtaining its new credit facility. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work is being performed under a construction contract. Such contracts generally provide that the customers accept completion of progress to date and compensate the Company for services rendered measured in terms of units installed, hours expended or some other measure of progress. Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1 "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts." Percentage-of-completion for construction contracts is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred and accrued to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for each contract at completion. The Company generally considers contracts to be substantially complete upon departure from the work site and acceptance by the customer. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated contract costs 30

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) and profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and the effects of these revisions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to retainage provisions in construction contracts will be due upon completion of the contracts and acceptance by the customer. Based on the Company's experience with similar contracts in recent years, the retention balance at each balance sheet date will be collected within the subsequent fiscal year. The current asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed which management believes will be billed and collected within the subsequent year. The current liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. Accounts Receivable and Provision for Doubtful Accounts The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for unknown collection issues in addition to reserves for specific accounts receivable where collection is considered doubtful. Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future income tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return, which includes the operations of all acquired businesses for periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates. The acquired businesses file "short period" federal income tax returns for the period from their last fiscal year through their respective acquisition dates. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent 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. Estimates are used in the Company's revenue recognition of construction in progress, allowance for doubtful accounts and self insured claims liability. Self-Insurance The Company retains the risk for worker's compensation, employer's liability, auto liability, general liability and employee group health claims, resulting from uninsured deductibles per accident or occurrence which are subject to annual aggregate limits. Losses up to the deductible amounts are accrued based upon the Company's known claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The accruals are based upon known facts and historical trends and management believes such accruals to be adequate. Realization of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", the Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment or other assets, if facts and circumstances indicate that any of those assets might be impaired. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if an impairment of such property has occurred. The effect of any impairment would be to expense the difference between the fair value of such property and its carrying value. To date, the Company has not recorded any such impairments. 31

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Risk Concentration Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash deposits and trade accounts receivable. The Company grants credit, generally without collateral, to its customers, which are generally contractors and homebuilders throughout the United States. Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors throughout the United States within the construction and home-building market. However, the Company generally is entitled to payment for work performed and has certain lien rights in that work. Further, management believes that its contract acceptance, billing and collection policies are adequate to manage potential credit risk. The Company routinely maintains cash balances in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company had no single customer accounting for more than 5% of its revenues for the year ended September 30, 2001. During the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company had one customer that represented 11% of its revenues. Excluding that customer, the Company had no single customer accounting for more than 5% of its revenues. During the year ended September 30, 1999, the Company had no single customer accounting for more than 5% of its revenues. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, retainage receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable, a line of credit, notes and bonds payable, long-term debt and an interest rate swap agreement. The Company's senior subordinated notes had a carrying value, excluding unamortized discount, at September 30, 2000 and 2001 of $150.0 million and $275.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company's senior subordinated notes at September 30, 2000 and 2001 was $132.4 million and $242.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap at September 30, 2001 was $3.2 million. Other than the senior subordinated notes and the interest rate swap agreement, the Company believes that the carrying value of financial instruments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates their fair value. Subsidiary Guaranties All of the Company's operating income and cash flows are generated by its wholly owned subsidiaries, which are the subsidiary guarantors of the Company's outstanding 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"). The Company is structured as a holding company and substantially all of its assets and operations are held by its subsidiaries. There are currently no significant restrictions on the Company's ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The separate financial statements of the subsidiary guarantors are not included herein because (i) the subsidiary guarantors are all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company; (ii) the subsidiary guarantors have fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed the Senior Subordinated Notes; and (iii) the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings, and equity of the subsidiary guarantors is substantially equivalent to the assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of the Company on a consolidated basis. As a result, the presentation of separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the subsidiary guarantors is not deemed material. 32

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Earnings per Share The following table reconciles the components of the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001 (in thousands, except share information):

Year Ended September 30, --------------------------------------- 1999 2000 2001 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Numerator: Net income................................................ $ 48,107 $ 21,156 $ 28,710 ======================================= Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding -- basic....... 34,200,532 40,207,940 40,402,533 Effect of dilutive stock options.......................... 413,112 202,460 497,257 --------------------------------------- Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding -- diluted.................................. 34,613,644 40,410,400 40,899,790 ======================================= Earnings per share: Basic..................................................... $ 1.41 $ 0.53 $ 0.71 Diluted................................................... $ 1.39 $ 0.52 $ 0.70 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001, exercisable stock options of 1.0 million, 4.4 million and 4.4 million, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock. New Accounting Pronouncements In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101). SAB 101 reflects the basic principles of revenue recognition in existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. SAB 101 does not supersede any existing authoritative literature. The Company recognizes revenue from construction contracts on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts". The adoption of SAB 101 did not have an impact on the results of operations of the Company. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138, was effective for the Company on October 1, 2000. These statements require that all derivative instruments (such as an interest rate swap contract), be recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Changes in the derivative's fair value are to be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The criteria for cash flow and fair value hedges require that hedging relationships must be designated and documented upon inception. The documentation must include the consideration of the hedged item, the specific risk being hedged, identification of the hedging instrument, the Company's risk management strategy, and how effectiveness will be assessed. The effectiveness assessment must have a historical basis that supports the assertion that the hedge will be effective prospectively. At the date of adoption, there was no financial impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company was not a party to any derivative instruments. In August 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to manage specific interest rate risks. See Note 6. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS No. 141 establishes new standards for accounting and reporting requirements for business combinations and requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also requires that acquired intangible assets be recognized as assets apart from goodwill if they meet one of two specified criteria. Additionally, the statement adds certain disclosure requirements to those required by APB 16, including disclosure of the primary reasons for the business combination and the allocation of the purchase price paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major balance sheet caption. This statement is required to be applied to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method 33

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have an impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142, which must be applied to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, modifies the accounting and reporting of goodwill and intangible assets. The pronouncement requires entities to discontinue the amortization of goodwill, reallocate all existing goodwill among its reporting segments based on criteria set by SFAS No. 142 and perform initial impairment tests by applying a fair-value-based analysis on the goodwill in each reporting segment. Any impairment at the initial adoption date shall be recognized as the effect of a change in accounting principle. Subsequent to the initial adoption, goodwill shall be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Under SFAS No. 142, entities are required to determine the useful life of other intangible assets and amortize the value over the useful life. If the useful life is determined to be indefinite, no amortization will be recorded. For intangible assets recognized prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the useful life should be reassessed. Other intangible assets are required to be tested for impairment in a manner similar to goodwill. At September 30, 2001, the Company's net goodwill was approximately $482.7 million, and annual amortization of such goodwill was approximately $13.0 million. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 142 during its first fiscal quarter of 2002. The Company believes the impairment charge upon adoption will be material, and based on current market capitalization could equate to a substantial amount of its recorded goodwill. The Company does not believe this adoption will impact its free cash flows, its operating income or compliance with its debt instruments. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial position and results of operations. 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS: Purchases Subsequent to the IPO, and through September 30, 2001, IES has acquired 70 businesses in transactions accounted for as purchases. The total consideration paid in these transactions was approximately $232.9 million in cash and 14.7 million shares of common stock. In connection with the acquisitions discussed above, goodwill was determined as follows for each of the years ending September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001 (in thousands):

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Credit Facility On May 22, 2001, the Company replaced its $175.0 million credit facility with a bank group, with a new $150.0 million revolving credit facility with a group of lending institutions to be used for working capital, capital expenditure, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, that matures May 22, 2004 (the "Credit Facility"). Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to either (a) the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 1.75 percent to 2.75 percent, as determined by the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) or (b) the higher of (i) the bank's prime rate or (ii) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent plus an additional 0.25 percent to 1.25 percent, as determined by the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to EBITDA. Commitment fees of 0.50 percent are assessed on any unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility. The Company's existing and future subsidiaries guarantee the repayment of all amounts due under the facility, and the facility is secured by the capital stock of those subsidiaries and the accounts receivable of the Company and those subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to 66 2/3% of outstanding receivables (as defined in the Agreement). The Credit Facility requires the consent of the lenders for acquisitions exceeding a certain level of cash consideration, prohibits the payment of cash dividends on the common stock, restricts the ability of the Company to repurchase shares of common stock, to incur other indebtedness and requires the Company to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants including certain financial covenants. Among other restrictions, the financial covenants include minimum net worth requirements, a maximum total consolidated funded debt to EBITDA ratio, a maximum senior consolidated debt to EBITDA ratio, and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants at September 30, 2001. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had borrowings outstanding under its Credit Facility of $12.0 million, letters of credit outstanding under its Credit Facility of $0.9 million, $1.6 million of other borrowings and available borrowing capacity under its Credit Facility of $137.1 million. Senior Subordinated Notes On January 25, 1999 and May 29, 2001, the Company completed offerings of $150.0 million and $125.0 million Senior Subordinated Notes, respectively. The offering completed on May 29, 2001, yielded $117.0 million in proceeds to the Company, net of a $4.2 million discount and $3.8 million in offering costs. The proceeds from the May 29, 2001, offering were used primarily to repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at 9 3/8% and mature on February 1, 2009. The Company pays interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness. The Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Company's subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company is required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants including: (i) restrictions on additional indebtedness, and (ii) restrictions on liens, guarantees and dividends. Interest Rate Swap The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in August 2001, designated as a fair value hedge, in order to minimize the risks and cost associated with its financing activities. The interest rate swap agreement has a notional amount of $100.0 million and was established to manage the interest rate risk of the senior subordinated note obligations. Under the swap agreement, the Company pays the counterparty variable rate interest (3-month LIBOR plus 3.49%) and the counterparty pays the Company fixed rate interest of 9.375% on a semiannual basis over the life of the instrument. Pursuant to SFAS No. 133, as amended, such interest rate swap contract is reflected at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and the related portion of fixed-rate debt being hedged is reflected at an amount equal to the sum of its carrying value plus an adjustment representing the change in fair value of the debt obligation attributable to the interest rate being hedged. The net effect of this accounting on the Company's operating results is that interest expense on the portion of fixed-rate debt being hedged is generally recorded based on variable interest rates. The interest rate swap is considered to be perfectly effective because it qualifies for the "short-cut" method under SFAS No. 133 and therefore there is no net change in fair value to be recognized in income. At September 30, 2001, the interest rate swap had a notional value of $100.0 million and a fair value of $3.2 million. 37

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The fair value of this contract is included in the balance sheet in other noncurrent assets.

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Deferred income tax provisions result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. The income tax effects of these temporary differences, representing deferred income tax assets and liabilities, result principally from the following (in thousands):

9. OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company follows SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Certain information is disclosed, per SFAS No. 131, based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer products and services to four distinct customer groups. They are managed separately because each business requires different operating and marketing strategies. Prior to October 1, 2000, the Company was organized in a single segment. During fiscal 2000, the Company aligned its operations among two complementary core businesses: electrical contracting and communications solutions. Within the electrical contracting business, the Company has three reportable segments: commercial/industrial, residential and service and maintenance markets. The commercial/industrial segment provides installations, renovations and upgrades and replacement services in office buildings, high-rise apartments and condominiums, theaters, restaurants, hotels, hospitals and critical-care facilities, school districts, manufacturing and processing facilities, military installations, airports, refineries and petrochemical and power plants. The residential segment consists of installations, replacements and renovation services in single family and low-rise multifamily housing units. The service and maintenance segment provides maintenance and replacement services from service calls and routine 39

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) maintenance contracts. The communications solutions business provides installation, service and maintenance, design, engineering and support services to infrastructure services customers. The accounting policies of these reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on income from operations of the respective business units prior to unallocated home office expenses. No significant transactions have occurred between the Company's business segments. Management intends to continue to focus on its internal allocation methods for allocating results to business segments.

The Company does not have significant operations or long-lived assets in countries outside of the United States. 10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: Restricted Voting Common Stock The shares of restricted voting common stock have rights similar to shares of common stock except that such shares are entitled to elect one member of the board of directors and to not otherwise vote with respect to the election of directors and are entitled to one-half of one vote for each share held on all other matters. Each share of restricted voting common stock will convert into common stock upon disposition by the holder of such shares. 1997 Stock Plan In September 1997, the Company's board of directors and stockholders approved the Company's 1997 Stock Plan (the "Plan"), which provides for the granting or awarding of incentive or nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or phantom stock and other incentive awards to directors, officers, key employees and consultants of the Company. The number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan is 15 percent of the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding. The terms of the option awards will be established by the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors. Options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant, one year following termination of employment due to death or disability, or three months following termination of employment by means other than death or disability. Directors' Stock Plan In September 1997, the Company's board of directors and stockholders approved the 1997 Directors' Stock Plan (the "Directors' Plan"), which provides for the granting or awarding of stock options to nonemployee directors. In May 2000, the Company's board of directors amended the Directors' Plan. The number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the Directors' Plan is 250,000 shares. Each nonemployee director is granted options to purchase 3,000 shares at the time of an initial election of such director. In addition, each director will be automatically granted options to purchase 3,000 shares annually at each September 30 on which such director remains a director. All options have an exercise price based on the fair market value at the date of grant and vesting terms similar to options granted under the Directors' Plan discussed above. 1999 Incentive Compensation Plan In November 1999, the Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "1999 Plan"). The 1999 Plan, as amended, authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors 41

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) to grant eligible participants of the Company awards in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or other stock based awards. The Company has up to 5.5 million shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 1999 Plan. In December 1999 and March 2000, the Company granted restricted stock awards of 609,306 and 400,000, respectively, under its stock plans to certain employees. The December 1999 awards vested in equal installments on May 31, 2000 and August 31, 2000, provided the recipient was still employed by the Company. The March 2000 award vests in equal installments on March 20th of each year through 2004, provided the recipient is still employed by the Company. The market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant for the December 1999 and March 2000 awards was $5.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which is being recognized as compensation expense over the related vesting periods. During the years ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, the Company amortized $5.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to expense in connection with these awards. Through September 30, 2001, 678,269 shares of these common stock awards vested and 31,037 shares of common stock were forfeited. To fund employee tax liabilities, 234,234 of these awards were cancelled and 444,035 of these shares were issued and are currently outstanding. At September 30, 2001, there were 300,000 shares of unvested common stock awards outstanding. The following table summarizes activity under the Company's stock option and incentive compensation plans:

Unexercised options expire at various dates from January 27, 2008 through September 30, 2011. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following subjective assumptions:

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The tables below summarizes options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2001:

Weighted-Average Range of Outstanding as of Remaining Weighted-Average Exercisable as of Weighted-Average Exercise Prices September 30, 2001 Contractual Life Exercise Price September 30, 2001 Exercise Price - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $0.0000 -- $4.6240 300,000 8.5 $ 0.0000 -- $ 0.0000 $4.6250 -- $7.8000 3,077,023 8.5 $ 5.6806 729,364 $ 5.5247 $7.8100 -- $10.5000 64,667 7.1 $ 9.4661 12,793 $ 9.6324 $10.5100 -- $15.5000 2,640,599 6.7 $13.7335 1,384,142 $13.5812 $15.5100 -- $22.1250 846,832 6.6 $18.1641 500,689 $18.3428 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6,929,121 7.5 $10.0645 2,626,988 $12.2327 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Options exercisable at September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001 had weighted average fair values per option of $9.45, $8.10 and $3.55, respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In February 2000, the Company's stockholders approved the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), which provides for the sale of common stock to participants as defined at a price equal to the lower of 85% of the Company's closing stock price at the beginning or end of the option period, as defined. The number of shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the ESPP is 1.0 million shares. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide an incentive for employees of the Company to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an "Employee Stock Purchase Plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The provisions of the ESPP are construed in a manner to be consistent with the requirements of that section of the Code. As of September 30, 2000, there were no shares purchased under the ESPP. During the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company issued 207,642 shares pursuant to the ESPP. For purposes of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," estimated compensation cost as it relates to the ESPP was computed for the fair value of the employees' purchase rights using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 2001: expected dividend yield of 0.00%, expected stock price volatility of 60.99%, weighted average risk free interest rate of 5.15% and an expected life of 0.5 years. The weighted average fair value per share of these purchase rights granted in 2001 was approximately $1.52. The Company follows Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock-based compensation. Under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations if no intrinsic value exists at the date of grant. SFAS No. 123 requires that if a company does not record compensation expense for stock options issued to employees pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25, the company must also disclose the effects on its results of operations as if the Company has adopted SFAS 123. Had compensation costs for the Company's stock option plans, restricted stock awards granted and the ESPP been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share information):
1999 2000 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net income As reported............................................... $48,107 $21,156 $28,710 Pro forma for SFAS No. 123................................ $42,720 $12,510 $21,630 Basic earnings per share As reported............................................... $ 1.41 $ 0.53 $ 0.71 Pro forma for SFAS No. 123................................ $ 1.25 $ 0.31 $ 0.54 Diluted earnings per share As reported............................................... $ 1.39 $ 0.52 $ 0.70 Pro forma for SFAS No. 123................................ $ 1.23 $ 0.31 $ 0.53 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
43

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in the pro forma disclosure may not be indicative of future amounts as additional awards in future years are anticipated and because the Black-Scholes option-pricing model involves subjective assumptions which may be materially different than actual amounts. 11. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS: The Company has transactions in the normal course of business with certain affiliated companies. Amounts due from related parties at September 30, 2000 and 2001 were $256,000 and $222,000, respectively. In connection with certain of the acquisitions, subsidiaries of the Company have entered into a number of related party lease arrangements for facilities. These lease agreements are for periods generally ranging from three to five years. Related party lease expense for the years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001 were $2,850,000, $4,180,000 and $4,335,000, respectively. Future commitments with respect to these leases are included in the schedule of minimum lease payments in Note 7. 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: In November 1998, the Company established the Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). All IES employees are eligible to participate subsequent to completing six months of service and attaining age twenty-one. Participants become vested in Company matching contributions following three years of service. Certain subsidiaries of the Company do not participate in the 401(k) Plan, but instead provide various defined contribution savings plans for their employees (the "Plans"). The Plans cover substantially all full-time employees of such subsidiaries. Participants vest at varying rates ranging from full vesting upon participation to those that provide for vesting to begin after three years of service and are fully vested after eight years. Certain plans provide for a deferral option that allows employees to elect to contribute a portion of their pay into the plan and provide for a discretionary profit sharing contribution by the individual subsidiary. Generally the subsidiaries match a portion of the amount deferred by participating employees. Contributions for the profit sharing portion of the Plans are generally at the discretion of the individual subsidiary. The aggregate contributions by the Company to the 401(k) Plan and the Plans were $1,460,000, $2,106,000 and $3,380,000 for the years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Subsidiaries of the Company are involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such proceedings with certainty and it is possible that the results of legal proceedings may materially adversely affect us, in the opinion of the Company, all such proceedings are either adequately covered by insurance or, if not so covered, should not ultimately result in any liability which would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of the Company. The Company expenses routine legal costs related to such proceedings as incurred. The Company has committed to invest up to $5.0 million in EnerTech Capital Partners II L.P. ("EnerTech"). EnerTech is a private equity firm specializing in investment opportunities emerging from the deregulation and resulting convergence of the energy, utility and telecommunications industries. Through September 30, 2001, the Company had invested $1.5 million under its commitment to EnerTech. The Company has committed to advance EPV, an affiliate, up to $1.8 million in the form of notes receivable. At September 30, 2001, the Company had notes receivable totaling approximately $1.3 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2001, EPV was advanced the remaining $0.5 million under the Company's commitment. 44
