THE COMPANY

Comfort Systems is a leading national provider of comprehensive HVAC
installation services and maintenance, repair and replacement of HVAC systems,
focusing primarily on the commercial and industrial markets. On July 2, 1997,
the Company acquired in separate, concurrent transactions twelve companies and
since the IPO the Company has acquired additional companies, all of which are
engaged principally in the HVAC business. See "Recent Developments." The
Company's commercial and industrial applications include office buildings,
retail centers, apartment complexes, hotels, manufacturing plants and government
facilities. The Company also provides specialized HVAC applications such as
process cooling, control systems, electronic monitoring and process piping.
Approximately 94% of the Company's pro forma combined 1997 revenues of $324.6
million (excluding the acquisition of F&G Mechanical Comp. in February 1998) was
derived from commercial and industrial customers, with approximately 55% of pro
forma combined revenues attributable to installation services and 45%
attributable to maintenance, repair and replacement services. Since the IPO, and
through April 22, 1998, the Company has acquired 47 additional mechanical
contracting companies engaged principally in the HVAC business.

The Company's commercial and industrial installation business targets
"design and build" projects where the Company is responsible for designing,
engineering and installing a cost-effective, energy-efficient system, customized
to meet the specific needs of the building owner. Management believes that the
"design and build" segment represents a faster growing and more profitable
segment of the HVAC business than traditional "plan and spec" installation,
which is generally awarded based on a bid process.
- ------------
(1) Affiliates of Notre Capital Ventures II, L.L.C. ("Notre") hold in the
aggregate 2,742,912 shares of Restricted Common Stock, which are entitled
to elect one member of the Company's Board of Directors and to 0.55 of one
vote for each share held on all other matters on which they are entitled to
vote. Restricted Common Stock is convertible into one share of Common Stock
under certain circumstances. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Common
Stock and Restricted Common Stock."

The Company also provides maintenance, repair and replacement of HVAC
systems. Growth in this segment is driven by a number of factors, particularly
(i) the aging of the installed base, (ii) the increasing energy efficiency,
sophistication and complexity of HVAC systems and (iii) the increasing
restrictions on the use of refrigerants commonly used in older HVAC systems. The
energy efficiency and sophistication of new HVAC systems are encouraging
building owners to upgrade and reconfigure their current HVAC systems. Moreover,
the increasing sophistication and complexity of these HVAC systems are leading
many commercial and industrial building owners and property managers to
outsource maintenance and repair through service agreements with HVAC service
providers. Service agreements lead to better utilization of personnel, link the
customer with the Company should a major repair or replacement be needed and
result in recurring revenues. The Company believes there is also an opportunity
to expand its presence in the highly-fragmented residential maintenance, repair
and replacement market. The replacement segment of the residential HVAC market
has grown significantly in recent years as a result of the aging of the
installed base of residential HVAC systems, the introduction of more
energy-efficient systems and the upgrading of older homes with central air
conditioning.

The Company plans to achieve its goal of becoming a leading national
provider of comprehensive HVAC services by improving operations, emphasizing
continued internal growth and expanding through acquisitions.

OPERATING STRATEGY. The Company believes there are significant
opportunities to increase its profitability and that of subsequently acquired
businesses. The key elements of the Company's operating strategy are:

FOCUS ON COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL MARKETS. The Company believes that
the commercial and industrial HVAC markets are attractive because of their
growth opportunities, diverse customer base, attractive margins and
potential for long-term relationships with building owners and managers,
general contractors and architects.

OPERATE ON DECENTRALIZED BASIS. The Company believes that, while
maintaining strong operating and financial controls, a decentralized
operating structure will retain the entrepreneurial spirit present in each
of the acquired companies and will allow the Company to capitalize on the
considerable local and regional market knowledge and customer relationships
possessed by each of the acquired companies.

ACHIEVE OPERATING EFFICIENCIES. The Company seeks to use its growing
purchasing power to gain volume discounts on products and services such as
HVAC components, raw materials, service vehicles, advertising, bonding,
insurance and benefits. Moreover, the Company reviews operations and
training programs at the local and regional operating levels in order to
identify those "best practices" that can be successfully implemented
throughout its operations.

ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALITY EMPLOYEES. The Company attracts and
retains quality employees by providing them (i) an enhanced career path
from working for a larger public company, (ii) additional training,
education and apprenticeships to allow talented employees to advance to
higher-paying positions (iii) the opportunity to realize a more stable
income and (iv) attractive benefits packages.

INTERNAL GROWTH. A key component of the Company's strategy is to continue
the internal growth at the acquired companies and subsequently acquired
businesses. The key elements of the Company's internal growth strategy are:

CAPITALIZE ON SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL AND MARKETING STRENGTHS. The
Company believes it will be able to expand the services it offers in its
local markets by leveraging the specialized technical and marketing
strengths of individual acquired companies.

ESTABLISH NATIONAL MARKET COVERAGE. The Company believes that
significant demand exists from large national companies to utilize the
services of a single HVAC service provider and believes existing local and
regional relationships can be expanded as it develops a nationwide network.

ACQUISITIONS. The Company believes that, due to the highly fragmented
nature of the HVAC industry, it has a significant opportunity to achieve its
acquisition strategy. The key elements of the Company's acquisition strategy
are:

ENTER NEW GEOGRAPHIC MARKETS. The Company pursues acquisitions that
are located in new geographic markets, are financially stable, and which
have the customer base, technical skills and infrastructure necessary to be
a core business into which other HVAC service operations can be
consolidated.

EXPAND WITHIN EXISTING MARKETS. Once the Company has entered a
market, it seeks to acquire other well-established HVAC businesses
operating within that region and also pursues "tuck-in" acquisitions of
smaller companies, whose operations can be integrated into an existing
operation to leverage the Company's infrastructure.

ACQUIRE COMPLEMENTARY BUSINESSES. The Company focuses on the HVAC
industry and may also acquire companies providing complementary services to
the same customer base, such as commercial and industrial process piping
and plumbing and electrical companies.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Since January 1, 1998, and through April 22, 1998, the Company has acquired
20 additional mechanical contracting companies engaged principally in the HVAC
business. The Company paid approximately $29.6 million in cash, issued 3,083,746
shares of Common Stock and issued $2.0 million in convertible subordinated notes
as consideration for these companies. The Company has accounted for these
acquisitions as purchase transactions. Annualized revenues were approximately
$175 million for these acquisitions.

Comfort Systems USA, Inc. was incorporated in 1996 in Delaware. The
Company's executive
offices are located at Three Riverway, Suite 200, Houston, Texas 77056, and its
telephone number is
(713) 830-9600.

RISK FACTORS

The Common Stock offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk
Factors".

SUMMARY PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

Comfort Systems acquired the twelve Founding Companies in connection with
the IPO. Subsequent to the IPO and through December 31, 1997, the Company
acquired 27 HVAC and related businesses. Of the 27 acquisitions, 14 were
accounted for as poolings-of-interests (the "Pooled Companies" and 13 were
accounted for as purchases (the "Purchased Companies"). On February 12, 1998,
Comfort Systems acquired F&G Mechanical Corporation and Meadowlands Fire
Protection Corp. (together "F&G"). Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, F&G is considered a "significant subsidiary." The
following unaudited combined statement of operations data presents the
historical statement of operations of the Company and the restatement of F&G,
the Founding Companies and Purchased Companies as if the acquisitions by the
Company occurred on January 1, 1997. The following unaudited pro forma combined
balance sheet data reflects the acquisition of F&G as if it had occurred on
December 31, 1997. See "Selected Financial Data," the Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Financial Statements and the Notes thereto and the historical Financial
Statements for Comfort Systems, certain of the Founding Companies, F&G and the
Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Registration Statement.

RISK FACTORS

AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS
INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS
PROSPECTUS, THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN
EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK. THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS CERTAIN
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE
PROJECTED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF ANY NUMBER OF
FACTORS, INCLUDING THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS. SEE "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS."

ABSENCE OF COMBINED OPERATING HISTORY. Comfort Systems was founded in 1996
but conducted no operations and generated no revenues prior to the Mergers on
July 2, 1997. The acquired companies operated as separate independent entities
prior to joining Comfort Systems, and there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to integrate the operations of these businesses successfully or to
institute the necessary systems and procedures, including accounting and
financial reporting systems, to manage the combined enterprise on a profitable
basis. The Company's management group has been assembled only recently, and
there can be no assurance that the management group will be able to effectively
manage the combined entity or successfully implement the Company's operating
strategy, internal growth strategy and acquisition program. The pro forma
combined historical financial results of the acquired companies primarily cover
periods when the acquired companies were not under common control or management
and, therefore, may not be indicative of the Company's future financial or
operating results. The inability of the Company to integrate the acquired
companies successfully would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations and would make it
unlikely that the Company's acquisition program will be successful. See
"Business -- Strategy", "Management" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Factors Which May
Affect Future Results."

RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S ACQUISITION STRATEGY. The Company intends
to continue to grow significantly through the acquisition of additional HVAC and
complementary businesses. The Company expects to face competition for
acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of acquisition opportunities
and may lead to higher acquisition prices. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to identify, acquire or manage profitably additional
businesses or to integrate successfully any acquired businesses into the Company
without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems.
Further, acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including failure of
the acquired business to achieve expected results, diversion of management's
attention, failure to retain key personnel of the acquired business and risks
associated with unanticipated events or liabilities, some or all of which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. Customer dissatisfaction or performance problems at a
single acquired company could have an adverse effect on the reputation of the
Company generally and render ineffective the Company's national sales and
marketing initiatives. The Company may consider acquiring additional
complementary businesses in the electrical, process piping and plumbing
industries, and there can be no assurance that these complementary businesses
can be successfully integrated. In addition, there can be no assurance that the
acquired companies will achieve anticipated revenues and earnings. See
"Business -- Strategy" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Factors Which May Affect Future
Results."

RISKS RELATED TO ACQUISITION FINANCING. The timing, size and success of
the Company's acquisition efforts and the associated capital commitments cannot
be readily predicted. The Company intends to continue to finance future
acquisitions by using shares of its Common Stock for all or a substantial
portion of the consideration to be paid. If the Common Stock does not maintain a
sufficient market value, or if potential acquisition candidates are otherwise
unwilling to accept Common Stock as part of the consideration for the sale of
their businesses, the Company may be required to utilize more of its cash
resources, if available, in order to initiate and maintain its acquisition
program. If the Company does not have sufficient cash resources, its growth
could be limited unless it is able to obtain additional capital through debt or

equity financings. The Company has obtained a bank line of credit of $175.0
million from Bank One, Texas, NA ("Bank One") as agent, and a group of other
banks, for working capital and acquisitions. As of April 22, 1998, borrowings
under the line of credit were $60.6 million, which was used for acquisitions and
to repay existing indebtedness of the acquired companies. The line of credit is
subject to customary financial covenants and drawing conditions. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Combined Liquidity and Capital Resources."

RISKS RELATED TO OPERATING AND INTERNAL GROWTH STRATEGY. Key elements of
the Company's strategy are to improve the profitability of the acquired
companies and to continue to expand the revenues of the acquired companies. The
Company intends to seek to improve the profitability of the acquired companies
by various means, including increased purchasing efficiencies and a reduction,
in some cases, of duplicative operating costs and overhead. The Company's
ability to increase the revenues of the acquired companies will be affected by
various factors, including demand for new or replacement HVAC systems, the level
of new construction, the Company's ability to expand the range of services
offered to customers of individual acquired companies, the Company's ability to
develop national accounts and other marketing programs in order to attract new
customers and the Company's ability to attract and retain a sufficient number of
qualified HVAC technicians and other necessary personnel. Many of these factors
are beyond the control of the Company, and there can be no assurance that the
Company's operating and internal growth strategies will be successful or that it
will be able to generate cash flow adequate for its operation and to support
internal growth. See "Business -- Strategy" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Factors Which May
Affect Future Results."

COMPETITION. The HVAC industry is highly competitive and is served by
small, owner-operated private companies and several large companies. Certain of
these competitors may have lower overhead cost structures and may, therefore, be
able to provide their services at lower rates than the Company. The HVAC
industry is currently undergoing rapid consolidation on both a national and a
regional level by other companies which have acquisition objectives which are
the same as or similar to the Company's objectives. These companies and other
consolidators may have greater financial resources than the Company to finance
acquisition and internal growth opportunities and might be willing to pay higher
prices than the Company for the same acquisition opportunities. Additionally,
HVAC equipment manufacturers and certain public utilities are beginning to enter
the maintenance, repair and replacement segment of the HVAC industry. These
companies generally are better capitalized, have greater name recognition and
may be able to provide these services at a lower cost. Consequently, the Company
may encounter significant competition in its efforts to achieve both its
acquisition and internal growth objectives as well as its operating strategy to
increase the profitability of the acquired companies. See
"Business -- Competition" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Factors Which May Affect Future
Results."

AVAILABILITY OF HVAC TECHNICIANS. The timely provision of high-quality
installation service and maintenance, repair and replacement of HVAC systems by
the Company requires an adequate supply of skilled HVAC technicians.
Accordingly, the Company's ability to increase its productivity and
profitability will be limited by its ability to employ, train and retain the
skilled technicians necessary to meet the Company's service requirements. From
time to time, there are shortages of qualified HVAC technicians, and there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain an adequate skilled
labor force necessary to operate efficiently, that the Company's labor expenses
will not increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of skilled technicians
or that the Company will not have to curtail its planned internal growth as a
result of labor shortages. See "Business -- Employees" and " -- Recruiting,
Training and Safety."

SEASONAL AND CYCLICAL NATURE OF THE HVAC INDUSTRY. The HVAC industry is
subject to seasonal variations. Specifically, the demand for new installations
is generally lower during the winter months due to reduced construction activity
during inclement weather and less use of air conditioning during colder months.
Demand for HVAC maintenance, repair and replacement services is generally higher
in the second and third calendar quarters due to the increased use of air
conditioning during warmer months. Accordingly,

the Company expects its revenues and operating results generally will be lower
in the first and fourth quarters. Historically, the construction industry has
been highly cyclical. As a result, the Company's volume of business may be
adversely affected by declines in new installation projects in various
geographic regions of the United States. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Factors Which May
Affect Future Results."

REGULATION. HVAC systems are subject to various environmental statutes and
regulations, including the Clean Air Act and those regulating the production,
servicing and disposal of certain ozone depleting refrigerants used in HVAC
systems. There can be no assurance that the regulatory environment in which the
Company operates will not change significantly in the future. Various local,
state and federal laws and regulations impose licensing standards on technicians
who install and service HVAC systems. The Company's failure to comply with these
laws and regulations could subject it to substantial fines and the loss of its
licenses. See "Business -- Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters."

RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company will be highly dependent on the
continuing efforts of its executive officers and the senior management of the
Founding Companies, and the Company likely will depend on the senior management
of any significant business it acquires in the future. The business or prospects
of the Company could be affected adversely if any of these persons does not
continue in his management role until the Company is able to attract and retain
qualified replacements. See "Management."

CONTROL BY EXISTING MANAGEMENT AND STOCKHOLDERS. The Company's executive
officers and directors, former stockholders of the acquired companies and
entities affiliated with them beneficially own approximately 26.2% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. These persons, if acting in concert, would
be able to exercise control over the Company's affairs, to elect the entire
Board of Directors and to control the outcome of any matter submitted to a vote
of stockholders. See "Principal Stockholders."

NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET. The Company went public on July 2, 1997 and the
market price of the Common Stock may be subject to significant fluctuations in
response to numerous factors, including the timing of any acquisitions by the
Company, variations in the Company's annual or quarterly financial results or
those of its competitors, changes by financial research analysts in their
estimates of the future earnings of the Company, conditions in the economy in
general or in the Company's industry in particular, unfavorable publicity or
changes in applicable laws and regulations (or judicial or administrative
interpretations thereof) affecting the Company or the HVAC, process piping and
plumbing and electrical services industries. From time to time, the stock market
experiences significant price and volume volatility, which may affect the market
price of the Common Stock for reasons unrelated to the Company's performance.

POTENTIAL EFFECT OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE ON PRICE OF COMMON
STOCK. As of April 22, 1998 there were 29,659,951 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. The 7,015,000 shares sold in the IPO and 618,374 shares issued in
acquisitions during the fourth quarter of 1997 (other than shares that may have
been or that may subsequently be purchased by affiliates of the Company) are
freely tradable. The remaining outstanding shares may be resold publicly only
following their registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or pursuant to an available exemption from registration
(such as provided by Rule 144 following a one year holding period for previously
unregistered shares), or upon the expiration of contractual restrictions. As of
April 22, 1998, 9,526,384 shares held or issued at the time of the IPO will
become eligible for sale, subject to the restrictions in Rule 144, during the
second quarter of 1998, an additional 1,414,531 will become available for sale
in each of the second quarters of 1999 and 2000, and 1,758,569 shares will
become available for sale in the second quarter of 2001. In addition, certain
shares issued in connection with acquisitions since the IPO become tradable
under Rule 144 or pursuant to the expiration of contractual restrictions during
the next five years. In 1998, 608,114 shares become eligible for sale in the
second quarter, 1,473,945 shares become eligible for sale in the third quarter,
and 1,932,209 shares become eligible for sale in the fourth quarter. In 1999,
108,185 share become eligible for sale in the first quarter, 189,246 shares
become eligible for sale in the second quarter, 108,581 shares become eligible
for sale in the third quarter, and 413,294 shares become eligible for sale in
the fourth quarter. In 2000, 716,253 shares become eligible for sale in the

POSSIBLE ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF CERTAIN CHARTER PROVISIONS. Comfort
Systems' Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of
Incorporation"), authorizes the Board of Directors to issue, without
stockholder approval, one or more series of preferred stock having such
preferences, powers and relative, participating, optional and other rights
(including preferences over the Common Stock respecting dividends and
distributions and voting rights) as the Board of Directors may determine. The
issuance of this "blank-check" preferred stock could render more difficult or
discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a tender
offer, merger, proxy contest or otherwise. In addition, the Certificate of
Incorporation provides for a classified Board of Directors, which may also have
the effect of inhibiting or delaying a change in control of the Company. Certain
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may also discourage takeover
attempts that have not been approved by the Board of Directors. See
"Description of Capital Stock."

THE COMPANY

Comfort Systems was founded in 1996 to become a leading national provider
of comprehensive HVAC installation services and maintenance, repair and
replacement of HVAC systems, focusing primarily on the commercial and industrial
markets. In furtherance of this goal, Comfort Systems acquired the twelve
Founding Companies on July 2, 1997, and since the IPO the Company has acquired
47 additional companies, the majority of which are principally engaged in the
commercial HVAC business.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company intends to retain all of its future earnings, if any, to
finance the expansion of its business and for general corporate purposes,
including future acquisitions, and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends
on its Common Stock for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company's
credit facility includes restrictions on the ability of the Company to pay
dividends without the consent of the lender.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Comfort Systems acquired the twelve Founding Companies in connection with
the IPO. During the remainder of 1997, the Company completed 27 acquisitions, 14
of which were accounted for as pooling-of-interests (the "Pooled Companies")
and 13 of which were accounted for as purchases (the "Purchased Companies").
The following selected historical financial data has been derived from the
audited financial statements of the Company for each of the three years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, and retroactively reflects the Pooled
Companies as appropriate. The remaining selected historical financial data of
the Company has been derived from unaudited financial statements of the Company.
These unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited financial statements of the Company, and in the opinion of the Company,
reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of that historical
information. The historical financial statement data reflects the acquisitions
of the Founding Companies and Purchased Companies as of their respective
acquisition dates and reflects eight of the Pooled Companies for all periods
presented. Certain of the Pooled Companies are considered immaterial poolings
based upon the relative significance of their individual operations and have not
been restated for all periods presented. The selected historical financial data
below should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and
related notes.

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

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated historical financial statements of the Company and related notes
thereto. This discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding the
business and industry of Comfort Systems within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the
current plans and expectations of the Company and involve risks and uncertanties
that could cause actual future activities and results of operations to be
materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among
others, risks associated with the difficulty of integrating newly acquired
companies while maintaining their financial performance, seasonal or cyclical
variation in demand for the Company's products and services, the ability to
obtain acquisition financing, increasing competition for acquisition targets as
new companies enter the market for HVAC consolidation, labor availability, and
the continued issuance of new shares and the resulting overhang of saleable
stock and other risks detailed in the Company's continuing reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Comfort Systems was founded in December 1996 to become a leading national
provider of HVAC services, focusing primarily on commercial and industrial
markets.

On June 27, 1997, Comfort Systems completed the Offering of its Common
Stock and simultaneously acquired the twelve Founding Companies, which are
engaged in providing HVAC services. The closing of the acquisitions of the
Founding Companies and the Offering occurred on July 2, 1997. Subsequent to June
30, 1997, and through December 31, 1997, the Company acquired 27 additional HVAC
businesses. Of these additional acquisitions, fourteen acquisitions were
accounted for as poolings-of-interests and are referred to herein as the Pooled
Companies, and the remaining thirteen acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases and are referred to herein as the Purchased Companies. The historical
financial statements of the Company have been retroactively restated to give
effect to the operations of the Restated Companies. Certain of the Pooled
Companies are considered immaterial poolings and have not been restated for all
periods presented based upon the relative significance of their individual
operations as discussed in Item 6.

Pro forma and historical results are not necessarily indicative of future
results of the Company because, among other things, the acquired companies were
not under common control or management prior to their acquisition. The results
of the Company have historically been subject to seasonal fluctuations. These
pro forma combined and historical statements of operations should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of
Comfort Systems, filed herewith, and the additional information and the
respective financial statements and related notes of Comfort Systems and the
Founding Companies included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1
(File No. 333-24021) (the "Registration Statement"), as amended, filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Offering.

The timing and magnitude of acquisitions, assimilation costs and the
seasonal nature of the HVAC industry may materially affect operating results.
Accordingly, the operating results for any period are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be achieved for any subsequent period.

PRO FORMA

The following pro forma information is presented supplementally to reflect
the pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition of the Founding
Companies occurred on January 1 of the respective years, as presented in the
Registration Statement. Therefore, the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined
statements of operations and the related management's discussion and analysis of
the Company for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
include the combined operations of the Restated Companies and the Founding
Companies from January 1, 1996, and the Purchased Companies from the dates of
their acquisition. Certain of the Pooled Companies are considered immaterial
poolings and have not been restated for all periods presented.

The Founding Companies, Pooled Companies and Purchased Companies were
managed prior to their acquisitions as independent private companies. Therefore,
historical selling, general, and administrative expenses for the periods
presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect
compensation and related benefits the owners of those businesses received prior
to acquisition. Historical selling, general and administrative expenses also
include the non-recurring non-cash compensation charge of $11.6 million recorded
by Comfort Systems in the first quarter of 1997 related to Common Stock issued
to management of and consultants to the Company. The following pro forma
combined results of operations have been presented for the purpose of reflecting
net income as if the merger of the Founding Companies and the acquisition of the
Restated Companies occurred January 1, 1996 and 1997. The pro forma adjustments
reflect: (a) certain reductions in salaries and benefits to the former owners
("the Compensation Differential") of the Founding and Purchased Companies
which they agreed would take effect as of the date of the acquisitions, (b) pro
forma compensation expense of $430,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
to reflect the ongoing salaries received by corporate management as though those
salaries were being paid prior to the Offering, (c) interest expense on
borrowings of $11.0 million that would have been necessary to fund the S
Corporation Distributions if they had occurred at the beginning of each period
presented, (d) the elimination of the $11.6 million non-recurring non-cash
compensation charge referred to above, and (e) the reduction of the
acquisition-related costs incurred in the acquisition of the Pooled Companies.
In addition, an incremental tax provision has been recorded as if all applicable
Purchased and Founding Companies, and Pooled Companies which were C Corporations
had been subject to federal and state income taxes.

1997 COMPARED TO 1996

PRO FORMA REVENUES -- Pro forma combined revenues increased 23% to $324.6
million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Revenues of $16.7 million for the
Purchased Companies acquired in 1997 are included in 1997. No results for these
companies are included in 1996. Excluding these amounts, revenues increased
16.7% from 1996 to 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to significant
"design and build" projects in the Company's Phoenix operations for a new
medical center and a semiconductor fabrication facility, broad growth in
commercial and industrial "design and build" activities in Tennessee
operations, increased general demand for the Company's services in the Grand
Rapids, Michigan market, greater demand for specialized multi-unit installation
services in Texas and the Northeast, and increased demand for the Company's
commercial service capabilities in the Cincinnati market.

PRO FORMA GROSS PROFIT -- Pro forma combined gross profit increased 25.4%
to $90.3 million for the year ended December 31,1997, primarily due to increased
revenue volume. Gross profit from certain Purchased Companies, which are not
reported in 1996 results, accounted for 4.4% of the pro forma gross profit in
the current year. Pro forma combined gross profit as a percentage of revenues
increased from

27.3% to 27.8% in 1997. This increase in gross profit margin was primarily
attributable to an overall improvement from the Companies' operations in Mobile,
Alabama, associated with its specialized "design and build" HVAC installation
capabilities, and the somewhat higher gross margins resulting from the
installation and service of HVAC controls-based energy management systems at two
locations. These increases in gross profit margin were slightly offset by
certain lower margin "design and build" installation projects, which were
accepted as a strategic enhancement to the Company's portfolio of "design and
build" projects.

PRO FORMA SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES (SG&A) -- Pro forma
combined SG&A expenses, excluding goodwill amortization and non-recurring
acquisition related costs, increased $14.2 million or 34.1% to $56.0 million for
the year ended December 31,1997, compared to the prior year. Approximately $2.5
million of this increase is attributable to the Purchased Companies, which are
not included in 1996 results. The Company's establishment as a public company in
1997 resulted in $2.2 million of corporate office and management expenses in
1997, whereas no such corporate expenses are reflected in 1996 as the Company
was not yet public. The remaining increases in SG&A were due principally to
additions of personnel and infrastructure to support growth in revenues.

PRO FORMA OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) -- Pro forma net other expense decreased
due to the increase in interest income of $0.7 million resulting from the
investment of temporary excess cash following the Company's Offering of Common
Stock in June 1997.

HISTORICAL

The following historical consolidated financial information represents the
operations of the Restated Companies for all periods presented and the Founding
Companies and Purchased Companies from their respective date of acquisitions.
Certain of the Pooled Companies are considered immaterial poolings and have not
been restated for all periods presented. The following historical financial
information for 1997 includes the non-recurring non-cash compensation charge of
$11.6 million recorded by Comfort Systems in the first quarter of 1997,
non-recurring acquisition-related costs and reflects normal recurring corporate
costs of Comfort Systems subsequent to the initial public offering. This
compensation charge is not deductible for federal and state income taxes. This
historical consolidated information has been derived from the audited
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

1997 COMPARED TO 1996

REVENUES -- Revenues increased $141.4 million, or 146.9%, over 1996, to
$237.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The acquisition of the
Founding Companies as of July 2, 1997, and the acquisition of the Purchased
Companies in the second half of 1997, accounted for 88.2% of the increase in

revenues over the prior year. The remaining increase in revenues over the prior
year is primarily attributable to increased demand for the Company's commercial
service capabilities in the Cincinnati market.

GROSS PROFIT -- Gross profit increased $41.6 million, or 172.1%, over 1996,
to $65.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The acquisition of the
Founding Companies and Purchased Companies accounted for 81.5% of the increase
over the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased as a
result of the Founding Companies' positive impact on the overall gross profit
percentage in the second half of 1997 and an overall improvement from the Pooled
Companies compared to the prior year. The Company's operations in Mobile,
Alabama contributed the largest increase as a percentage of revenues among the
Pooled Companies due to higher margins associated with its specialized "design
and build" HVAC installation capabilities.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES -- SG&A, excluding goodwill
amortization, increased $40.3 million, or 211.0%, over 1996, to $59.4 million
for 1997. Approximately one half of this increase is related to the acquisition
of the Founding and Purchased Companies. Historical SG&A for 1997 includes the
non-recurring, non-cash compensation charge of $11.6 million recorded by Comfort
Systems in the first quarter of 1997 related to Common Stock issued to
management of and consultants to the Company. The Company's establishment as a
public company in 1997 resulted in $2.8 million of corporate office and
management expenses in 1997 whereas no such corporate expenses are reflected in
1996 as the Company was not yet public. Of this amount, approximately $0.6
million was non-recurring acquisition costs related to the Pooled Companies. The
remaining increase related to increases in personnel and infrastructure to
support growth at certain of the Pooled Companies, and does not reflect the
reduction in management compensation and benefits as a result of the mergers of
these Pooled Companies with Comfort Systems.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) -- Net other income increased to $0.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997 due primarily to the increase in interest
income of $0.7 million resulting from the investment of temporary excess cash
following the Company's Offering of Common Stock in June.

1996 COMPARED TO 1995

REVENUES -- Revenues increased $31.1 million, or 47.8%, to $96.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to the year ended December 31,
1995. Certain Pooled Companies representing $12.3 million, or 39.5%, of the
increase in revenue over 1995 are not included in 1995 results. The remaining
increase in revenues over 1995 is primarily attributable to increased demand for
the Company's commercial service capabilities in the Memphis market and
commercial installation service capabilities in the Alabama market.

GROSS PROFIT -- Gross Profit increased $7.7 million, or 47.2%, to $24.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995. Certain Pooled Companies representing $4.1 million, or 52.7%,
of the increase over 1995 are not included in 1995 results. The remaining
increase in gross profit was partially a result of increased demand for the
Company's commercial service capabilities while maintaining gross profit margins
in the Memphis market area and an improvement in gross profit margins in the
Cincinnati operations.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES -- SG&A, excluding goodwill
amortization, increased $4.4 million, or 29.8%, to $19.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996 compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain
Pooled Companies representing $2.3 million, or 52.6%, of the increase over 1995
are not included in the 1995 results. The majority of the remaining increase is
due to an addition of personnel in the Cincinnati market area to capitalize on
revenue growth opportunities. SG&A for the Pooled Companies in 1995 and 1996
reflects the compensation and related benefits those owners received from their
respective businesses prior to the acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES -- HISTORICAL

For the year ended December 31, 1997, net cash used in operating activities
was $1.7 million due to a decrease in accounts payable of $3.8 million and an
increase in accounts receivables of $10.9 million. Accounts payable balances
decreased from the date of acquisition at various locations as certain companies

took advantage of the consolidated cash management system to receive cash
discounts for early payments. Cash provided from operations for 1996 and 1995
was $3.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, primarily as a result of net
income for the periods.

Cash used in investing activities was $57.5 million for the year ended
1997, primarily in connection with the acquisition of the Founding Companies and
Purchased Companies for $54.1 million, net of cash acquired. Cash flows used in
investing activities for 1996 and 1995 were $1.8 million and $0.7 million,
respectively, primarily for additions to equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1997
was $67.7 million and was primarily attributable to the $79.9 million from the
Offering which was partially offset by a net reduction in debt of $10.7 million
in the second half of 1997. Net cash used in financing activities in 1996 was
$0.8 million from a net reduction in outstanding debt. Net cash provided by
financing activities in 1995 was $1.1 million due to the net increase in
outstanding debt of $1.3 million.

On June 27, 1997, Comfort Systems completed the offering of 6,100,000
shares of Common Stock to the public at $13.00 per share. The net proceeds to
Comfort Systems from the Offering (after deducting underwriting commissions and
offering expenses) were $68.8 million. Of this amount, $45.3 million was used to
pay the cash portion of the purchase prices of the Founding Companies.

In connection with the Offering, the Company granted its underwriters an
option to sell an additional 915,000 shares at $13.00 per share. On July 9, the
underwriters exercised this option. Net proceeds to the Company from this sale
of shares were $11.1 million after deducting underwriting commissions.

Subsequent to December 31, 1997, and through April 22, 1998, the Company
completed acquisitions of 20 companies for approximately $29.6 million in cash,
3,083,746 shares of Common Stock and approximately $2.0 million in Convertible
Subordinated Notes. The Company has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K related
to one of these acquisitions. These acquisitions will be accounted for as
purchase transactions.

In July 1997, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank One,
Texas, N.A. (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility was amended and
restated in September 1997 primarily to provide for additional banks to lend to
the Company under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility was further amended
in April 1998 in order to increase borrowing capacity and to provide for
additional banks to lend to the Company under the Credit Facility. The Credit
Facility provides the Company with an unsecured revolving line of credit of $175
million. The Company has a choice of two interest rate options when borrowing
under the Credit Facility. Under one option, the interest rate is determined
based on the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half percentage point or
the bank's prime rate. Under the other interest rate option, borrowings bear
interest based on designated short-term Eurodollar rates (which generally
approximate the London Interbank Offered Rates or LIBOR, as published in major
financial media) plus 0.75 to 1.5 percentage points. The additional margin
depends on the ratio of the Company's debt to earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization for the preceding twelve months ("EBITDA"). For
purposes of this ratio, EBITDA may include the preceding twelve months' results
for any companies acquired during the last year. In addition, commitment fees of
0.125% to 0.325% per annum, also depending on the ratio of debt to EBITDA, are
payable on the unused portion of the line of credit. The Credit Facility
prohibits the payment of dividends by the Company without lender's approval and
requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants. The Credit
Facility expires on April 14, 2001, at which time, all amounts outstanding under
the facility are due. As of December 31, 1997, $15.3 million was outstanding
under the Credit Facility at an average interest rate of approximately 6.7% per
annum for the second half of 1997. As of April 22, 1998, $60.6 million was
outstanding under the Credit Facility.

The Company intends to pursue additional acquisition opportunities. The
Company anticipates that available borrowings under its Credit Facility and 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
equipment. Should the Company accelerate or revise its acquisition program, the
Company may need to seek additional financing through the public or private sale
of equity or debt securities. There can be no

assurance that the Company will secure such financing if and when it is needed,
or that such financing will be available on terms that the Company deems
acceptable.

YEAR 2000

The Company is currently assessing the impact of "Year 2000" related
issues on its operational and financial computer systems. The Company has not
yet determined the operational impact, if any, which may result in the future.
Therefore, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, on
its results of operations or financial condition.

SEASONALITY AND CYCLICALITY

The HVAC industry is subject to seasonal variations. Specifically, the
demand for new installation and replacement is generally lower during the winter
months due to reduced construction activity during inclement weather and less
use of air conditioning during the colder months. Demand for HVAC services is
generally higher in the second and third calendar quarters due to increased
construction activity and increased use of air conditioning during the warmer
months. Accordingly, the Company expects its revenues and operating results
generally will be lower in the first and fourth calendar quarters.

Historically, the construction industry has been highly cyclical. As a
result, the Company's volume of business may be adversely affected by declines
in new installation projects in various geographic regions of the United States.

FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The Company's future operating results are difficult to predict and may be
affected by a number of factors, including the lack of a combined operating
history and the difficulty of integrating acquired businesses, difficulties in
implementing its acquisition strategy, seasonal and cyclical fluctuations in the
demand for HVAC systems and the availability of acquisition financing. As a
result of these and other factors, there can be no assurance that the Company
will not experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a
quarterly or annual basis.

The Company's success depends in part on its ability to integrate the
businesses that it acquires. The acquired businesses operated as separate,
independent entities prior to their affiliation with the Company, and there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to integrate the operations of
these businesses successfully or institute the necessary systems and procedures,
including accounting and financial reporting systems, to effectively manage the
combined enterprise on a profitable basis. The pro forma combined historical
financial results of the acquired businesses primarily cover periods when such
businesses were not under common control or management and, therefore, may not
be indicative of the Company's future financial or operating results.

The Company has grown and intends to continue to grow significantly through
the acquisition of additional HVAC and complementary businesses, but in the
future it could face difficulties in implementing its acquisition strategy. The
Company faces increasing competition for acquisition candidates, a fact that may
limit the number of acquisition opportunities and may lead to higher acquisition
prices. The HVAC industry is currently undergoing rapid consolidation on both a
national and a regional level by the Company and by other companies that have
acquisition objectives that are similar to the Company's objectives.
Additionally, HVAC equipment manufacturers and certain public utilities are
beginning to enter the maintenance, repair and replacement segment of the HVAC
industry. These companies generally are better capitalized, have greater name
recognition and may be able to provide these services at a lower cost.

Acquisitions also involve a number of special risks, including failure of
the acquired business to achieve expected results, diversion of management's
attention and failure to retain key personnel of the acquired business. There
are also risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities resulting
from the acquired businesses' operations prior to their acquisition. Any of
these risks, or a combination of them, could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The timing, size and success of the Company's acquisition efforts depend in
large part on the availability of financing. The Company intends to continue to
finance future acquisitions by using shares of its Common Stock for a
substantial portion of the consideration to be paid. If the Common Stock does
not maintain a sufficient market value, or if potential acquisition candidates
are otherwise unwilling to accept Common Stock as part of the consideration for
the sale of their businesses, the Company may be required to utilize more of its
cash resources, if available, to maintain its acquisition program. One factor
that may affect the Common Stock's market price in the future, and thus its
usefulness as acquisition currency, is the dilutive effect of the continued
issuance of shares in connection with acquisitions. The availability of such
shares in the market when they become eligible for sale could affect the
Company's stock valuation (i.e., upon the expiration of contractual restrictions
or of specified holding periods for unregistered shares). If the Company fails
to maintain its stock valuation, and if the Company does not have sufficient
cash resources, its growth could be limited unless it is able to obtain
additional capital through debt or equity financing.

Key elements of the Company's strategy are to both maintain and improve the
profitability of the acquired businesses and to continue to expand the revenues
of acquired businesses. The Company's level of success in this strategy, if any,
will be affected by demand for new or replacement HVAC systems. In part, such
demand will turn on factors outside the Company's control, such as the level of
new construction or the potential for slower replacement based upon the overall
level of activity in the economy. The HVAC industry is subject to both seasonal
and cyclical variations, meaning that temperate weather and downturns in the
domestic or a regional economy will negatively affect overall demand for the
Company's services.

The timely provision of high-quality installation service and maintenance,
repair and replacement of HVAC systems by the Company requires an adequate
supply of skilled HVAC technicians. In addition, the Company depends on the
senior management of the businesses it acquires to remain committed to the
success of the business after its acquisition and through a transition period.
Accordingly, the Company's ability to increase its productivity and
profitability are also affected by its ability to employ, train and retain the
skilled technicians necessary to meet the Company's service requirements, and to
retain senior management in acquired businesses.

HVAC systems are also subject to various environmental statutes and
regulations, including the Clean Air Act and those regulating the production,
servicing and disposal of certain ozone depleting refrigerants used in HVAC
systems. There can be no assurance that the regulatory environment in which the
Company operates will not change significantly in the future. The Company's
failure to comply, or the costs of compliance, with such laws and regulations
could adversely affect the Company's future results.

Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should not
necessarily be considered an indicator of future performance. Investors should
not rely solely on historical trends to anticipate future results and should be
aware that the trading price of the Company's Common Stock may be subject to
wide fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating
results, general conditions in the HVAC industry, the increasing supply of
tradable stock, changes in analysts' earnings estimates, and recommendations by
analysts or other events.

BUSINESS

Comfort Systems is a leading national provider of comprehensive heating,
ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") installation, maintenance, repair
and replacement services. Founded in December 1996, the Company is consolidating
the fragmented commercial and industrial HVAC markets, and performs most of its
services within office buildings, retail centers, apartment complexes, hotels,
manufacturing plants and government facilities. In addition to standard HVAC
services, the Company also provides specialized applications such as process
cooling, control systems, electronic monitoring and process piping. Certain
locations also perform related services such as electrical and plumbing.
Approximately 94% of the Company's pro forma combined 1997 revenues were derived
from commercial and industrial customers.

On June 27, 1997, Comfort Systems completed the initial public offering
(the "Offering") of its common stock (the "Common Stock") and simultaneously
acquired in separate concurrent transactions twelve companies (collectively
referred to as the "Founding Companies") engaged in providing HVAC services.
The Founding Companies had operations in ten states and pro forma combined
revenues in 1996 of $167.5 million. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, and through
April 22, 1998, the Company acquired 47 HVAC and related businesses. These
companies added approximately $365 million of annualized revenues to Comfort
Systems. These acquisitions included eleven "tuck-in" operations which were or
will be combined with existing Comfort Systems locations.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Based on available industry data, the Company believes that the HVAC
industry is highly fragmented with over 40,000 companies, most of which are
small, owner-operated businesses with limited access to capital for
modernization and expansion. The HVAC industry as a whole is estimated to
generate annual revenues in excess of $75 billion, over $35 billion of which is
in the commercial and industrial markets. HVAC systems have become a necessity
in virtually all commercial and industrial buildings as well as homes. Because
most commercial buildings are sealed, HVAC systems provide the primary method of
addressing air quality concerns and injecting fresh air. Older industrial
facilities often have poor air quality as well as inadequate air conditioning,
and older HVAC systems result in significantly higher energy costs than do
modern systems. In many instances, the replacement of an aging system with a
modern, energy-efficient system will significantly reduce a building's operating
costs while also improving air quality and the effectiveness of the HVAC system.
These factors are causing facility owners to examine replacement of older
systems.

Growth in the HVAC industry is being positively affected by a number of
factors, particularly (i) the aging of the installed base, (ii) the increasing
efficiency, sophistication and complexity of HVAC systems, (iii) growing
attention to indoor air quality resulting in the consideration of higher indoor
air quality standards, and (iv) the increasing restrictions on the use of
refrigerants commonly used in older HVAC systems. These factors are expected to
increase demand for the reconfiguration or replacement of existing HVAC systems.
The Company believes that these factors also mitigate the effect on the HVAC
industry of the cyclicality inherent in the traditional construction industry.

The HVAC industry is subject to seasonal variations. Specifically, the
demand for new installations and for replacement is generally lower during the
winter months due to reduced construction activity during inclement weather and
less use of air conditioning during the colder months. Demand for HVAC services
is generally higher in the second and third calendar quarters due to increased
construction activity and increased use of air conditioning during the warmer
months. Accordingly, the Company expects its revenues and operating results
generally will be lower in the first and fourth calendar quarters.

The Company believes that the majority of business owners in the HVAC
industry have limited access to capital for expansion of their businesses and
that relatively few have attractive liquidity options. In addition, the
increasing complexity of HVAC systems has led to a need for better trained
technicians to

install, monitor and service these systems. The cost of recruiting, training and
retaining a sufficient number of qualified technicians makes it more difficult
for smaller HVAC companies to expand their businesses. The Company believes that
significant opportunities exist for a well-capitalized, national company to
excel in the HVAC industry.

The HVAC industry can be broadly divided into the installation segment and
the maintenance, repair and replacement segment.

INSTALLATION SEGMENT. The installation segment consists of "design and
build" and "plan and spec" projects. In "design and build" projects, the
commercial HVAC firm is responsible for designing, engineering and installing a
cost-effective, energy-efficient system customized to the specific needs of the
building owner. Costs and other project terms are normally negotiated between
the building owner or their representative and the HVAC firm. Firms which
specialize in "design and build" projects generally have specially-trained
HVAC engineers, CAD/CAM design systems and in-house sheet metal and
prefabrication capabilities. These firms utilize a consultative approach with
customers and tend to develop long-term relationships with building owners and
developers, general contractors, architects and property managers. "Plan and
spec" installation refers to projects where an architect or a consulting
engineer designs the HVAC systems and the installation project is "put out for
bid." The Company believes that "plan and spec" projects usually take longer
to complete than "design and build" projects because the preparation of the
system design by a third party and resulting bid process often take months to
complete. Furthermore, in "plan and spec" projects, the HVAC firm is not
responsible for project design and any changes must be approved by several
parties, thereby increasing overall project time and cost. Approximately 55% of
the Company's pro forma combined 1997 revenues related to installation services
and the majority of the revenues from installation projects were performed on a
"design and build" basis.

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT SEGMENT. This segment includes the
maintenance, repair, replacement, reconfiguration and monitoring of previously
installed HVAC systems and controls. The aging of the installed base of HVAC
systems and the increasing demand for more efficient, sophisticated and complex
systems and controls have fueled growth in this segment. The increasing
sophistication and complexity of these HVAC systems is leading many commercial
and industrial building owners and property managers to outsource maintenance
and repair, often through service agreements with HVAC service providers. In
addition, increasing restrictions are being placed on the use of certain types
of refrigerants used in HVAC systems, which, along with indoor air quality
concerns, may increase demand for the reconfiguration and replacement of
existing HVAC systems. State-of-the-art control and monitoring systems feature
electronic sensors and microprocessors. These systems require specialized
training to install, maintain and repair and the typical building engineer has
not received this training. Increasingly, HVAC systems in commercial and
industrial buildings are being remotely monitored through PC-based
communications systems to improve energy efficiency and expedite problem
diagnosis and correction. Approximately 45% of the Company's pro forma combined
1997 revenues related to maintenance, repair and replacement services.

STRATEGY

The Company has implemented an aggressive operating strategy that
emphasizes continued internal growth and expansion through acquisitions.

OPERATING STRATEGY. The key elements of the Company's operating strategy
are:

FOCUS ON COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL MARKETS. The Company focuses
principally on the commercial and industrial markets with particular
emphasis on the "design and build" installation segment and the
maintenance, repair and replacement segments. The Company believes that the
commercial and industrial HVAC markets are attractive because of their
growth opportunities, diverse customer base, reduced weather exposure as
compared to residential markets, attractive margins and potential for
long-term relationships with building owners, property managers, general
contractors and architects.

OPERATE ON A DECENTRALIZED BASIS. The Company manages its
subsidiaries on a decentralized basis, with local management maintaining
responsibility for day-to-day operations, profitability and

growth. While it maintains strong operating and financial controls, the
Company believes that its decentralized operating structure allows local
management of each Company to capitalize on their knowledge of local and
regional markets and on customer relationships possessed by each acquired
company.

ACHIEVE OPERATING EFFICIENCIES. The Company believes there are
opportunities to achieve operating efficiencies and cost savings through
purchasing economies and the adoption of "best practices" operating
programs. The Company seeks to use its growing purchasing power to gain
volume discounts on products and services such as HVAC components, raw
materials, service vehicles, advertising, bonding, insurance and benefits.
Moreover, the Company reviews operations and training programs at the local
and regional operating levels in order to identify those "best practices"
that can be successfully implemented throughout its operations.

ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALITY EMPLOYEES. The Company attracts and
retains quality employees by providing them (i) an enhanced career path
from working for a larger public company, (ii) additional training,
education and apprenticeships to allow talented employees to advance to
higher-paying positions, (iii) the opportunity to realize a more stable
income and (iv) attractive benefits packages.

INTERNAL GROWTH. A key component of the Company's strategy is to continue
the internal growth at the Company's subsidiaries. The key elements of the
Company's internal growth strategy are:

CAPITALIZE ON SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL AND MARKETING STRENGTHS. The
Company believes it will be able to continue to expand the services it
offers in its markets by leveraging the specialized technical and marketing
strengths of individual acquired companies. The Company also believes its
growing geographical coverage will enable it to serve existing customers'
needs in new regions that may have been beyond the service area of the
Company's operations that originated the existing customer relationship. In
addition, a number of acquired companies currently focus primarily on
installation and, therefore, have only limited maintenance, repair and
replacement operations. The Company believes there are significant
opportunities for these acquired companies to provide maintenance, repair
and replacement services, particularly by offering these services to
customers for whom those companies have already designed and built systems.
Several of the acquired companies have specific expertise in HVAC control
and monitoring systems, process cooling, replacement and other service
strengths. This expertise has been and will be increasingly shared within
the Company's family of HVAC businesses.

ESTABLISH REGIONAL AND NATIONAL MARKET COVERAGE. The Company believes
that significant demand exists from large regional and national companies
to utilize the services of a single HVAC service company capable of
providing comprehensive commercial and industrial services on a regional or
national basis. Many of the acquired companies already provide local or
regional coverage to companies with nationwide locations, such as
commercial real estate developers and managers, retailers and
manufacturers. The Company believes it can expand these existing
relationships as it develops a nationwide network to provide these
customers with a single source for all of their HVAC needs to promote
consistent service, improve control and reduce cost.

ACQUISITIONS. Based on available industry data, the Company believes the
HVAC industry is highly fragmented, with small, owner-operated businesses with
limited capital resources, which outnumber larger enterprises. The key elements
of the Company's acquisition strategy are:

ENTER NEW GEOGRAPHIC MARKETS. In new markets, Comfort Systems targets
one or more leading local or regional companies providing HVAC services.
The acquisition target has the customer base, technical skills and
infrastructure necessary to be a core business into which other HVAC and/or
complimentary service operations can be consolidated or "tucked-in." The
Company chooses businesses that are located in attractive markets, are
financially stable, are experienced in the industry and have management
willing to participate in the future growth of the Company.

EXPAND WITHIN EXISTING MARKETS. Once the Company has entered a
market, it seeks to acquire other well-established HVAC businesses to
expand its market penetration and range of services offered. The Company
also pursues "tuck-in" acquisitions of smaller companies, whose
operations

can be integrated into an existing operation to leverage the existing
infrastructure of the previously acquired company.

ACQUIRE COMPLIMENTARY BUSINESSES. The Company acquires companies
providing complimentary services to the same customer base, such as
commercial and industrial control systems, process piping, plumbing and
electrical services. This enables the Company to offer, on a comprehensive
basis and from a single provider, HVAC, mechanical and electrical services
in certain markets.

ACQUISITION PROGRAM

The Company is regarded by acquisition candidates as an attractive acquirer
because of, (i) the Company's strategy to become a national, comprehensive and
professionally managed HVAC service provider focused on commercial and
industrial markets, (ii) the Company's decentralized operating strategy, (iii)
the Company's increased visibility and access to financial resources as a public
company, (iv) the potential for increased profitability due to certain
centralized administrative functions, enhanced systems capabilities and access
to increased marketing resources, and (v) the potential for the owners of the
businesses being acquired to participate in the Company's planned internal
growth and growth through acquisitions, while realizing liquidity.

As consideration for acquisitions, the Company will use various
combinations of its Common Stock, cash and notes. The consideration for each
future acquisition will vary on a case-by-case basis. The major factors in
establishing the purchase price for each acquisition include historical
operating results, future prospects of the acquiree and the ability of a
business to complement the services offered by the Company.

OPERATIONS SERVICES PROVIDED

The Company provides a wide range of installation, maintenance, repair and
replacement services for HVAC and related systems in commercial, industrial and,
to a lesser extent, residential properties. Daily operations are managed on a
local basis by the management team at each acquired company. In addition to
senior management, acquired companies' personnel generally include design
engineers, sales personnel, customer service personnel, installation service
technicians, sheet metal and prefabrication technicians, estimators and
administrative personnel. The Company manages the acquired companies on a
decentralized basis, with local management maintaining responsibility for
day-to-day operating decisions. The Company is in the process of centralizing
certain administrative functions to enable the management of each acquired
company to focus on pursuing new business opportunities and improving operating
efficiencies. Administrative functions which the Company is centralizing include
company-wide training and safety programs, certain accounting functions, risk
management programs, cash management programs, purchasing programs and employee
benefits.

INSTALLATION SEGMENT. The Company's installation business comprised
approximately 55% of the Company's 1997 pro forma combined revenues. This
segment consists of the design, engineering, integration, installation and
start-up of HVAC and related systems. The commercial and industrial installation
services performed by the Company consist primarily of "design and
build"systems for office buildings, retail centers, apartment complexes,
hotels, manufacturing plants and government facilities. In a "design and
build" project, the customer typically has an overall design for the facility
prepared by an architect or a consulting engineer who then enlists the Company's
engineering personnel to prepare a specific design for the HVAC system. The
Company determines the needed capacity, energy efficiency and type of controls
that best suit the proposed facility. The Company's engineer then estimates the
amount of time, labor, materials and equipment needed to build the specified
system. Materials and equipment for a typical commercial or industrial project
include ductwork, compressors, blowers, chillers, cooling towers, air handling
equipment and the associated pumps and piping necessary to complete the system.
The Company utilizes CAD/CAM systems in the design and engineering phases of the
project to calculate the material and labor costs of the project. The drawings
are prepared in a format appropriate for submission to local building
inspectors. The final design, terms, price and timing of the project are then
negotiated with the customer or its representatives, after which any necessary
modifications are made to the system.

Once an agreement has been reached, the Company orders the necessary
materials and equipment for delivery to meet the project schedule. In most
instances, the Company fabricates in its own facilities, the ductwork and piping
and assembles certain components for the system based on the mechanical drawing
specifications, thereby eliminating the need to subcontract ductwork or piping
fabrication. The Company's CAD/CAM systems are capable of automatically cutting
ductboard, sheet metal and piping, thereby reducing the amount of labor
necessary to produce the ductwork and piping for the system. Project specific
components are then fabricated at the Company's facilities in sections small
enough to be transported to the job site. This practice enables the Company to
limit the amount of fieldwork required for installation, reduce the labor
associated with the installation process and, therefore, meet the shorter time
requirements increasingly demanded by commercial and industrial customers. The
Company installs the system at the project site, working closely with the
general contractor. Most commercial and industrial installation projects last
from two weeks to one year and generate revenues from $25,000 to $2,000,000 per
project. These projects are generally billed periodically as costs are incurred
and, in most cases, with a 10% retainage held back until completion and
successful start-up of the HVAC system.

The Company also performs selected "plan and spec" installation services
when a bidder prequalification process has been used by the customer to limit
the number of potential bidders for an attractive project. The Company may bid
on more of these projects when "design and build" projects are in lower demand
and when additional on-the-job training is needed for apprentice or
less-experienced technicians.

The Company also installs process cooling systems, control and monitoring
systems and industrial process piping. Process cooling systems are utilized
primarily in industrial facilities to provide heating and/or cooling to precise
temperature and climate standards for products being manufactured and for the
manufacturing equipment. Control systems are used in HVAC and process cooling
systems to maintain pre-established temperature or climate standards for
commercial or industrial facilities. These systems use direct digital technology
integrated with computer terminals. HVAC control systems are capable not only of
controlling a facility's entire HVAC system, often on a room-by-room basis, but
can be programmed to integrate energy management, security, fire, card key
access, lighting and overall facility monitoring. This monitoring can be
performed on-site or remotely through a PC-based communications system. The
monitoring system will communicate an exception when the HVAC system is
operating outside pre-established parameters. Diagnosis of potential problems
can be performed from the computer terminal which often can remotely adjust the
control system. Industrial process piping is utilized in manufacturing
facilities to convey required raw material, support utilities and finished
products.

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT SEGMENT. The Company's maintenance,
repair and replacement segment comprised approximately 45% of the Company's 1997
pro forma combined revenues, and includes the maintenance, repair, replacement,
reconfiguration and monitoring of HVAC systems and industrial process piping.
Approximately two-thirds of the Company's maintenance, repair and replacement
segment revenues were derived from reconfiguring existing HVAC systems for
commercial and industrial customers. Reconfiguration often utilizes consultative
expertise similar to that provided in the "design and build" installation
market. The Company believes that the reconfiguration of an existing system
results in a more cost-effective, energy-efficient system that better meets the
specific needs of the building owner. The reconfiguration also enables the
Company to utilize its design and engineering personnel as well as its sheet
metal and pre-fabrication facilities.

Maintenance and repair services are provided either in response to service
calls or pursuant to a service agreement. Service calls are coordinated by
customer service representatives or dispatchers that use computer and
communication technology to process orders, arrange service calls, communicate
with customers, dispatch technicians and invoice customers. Service technicians
work from service vehicles equipped with commonly used parts, supplies and tools
to complete a variety of jobs.

Commercial and industrial service agreements usually have terms of one to
three years, with automatic annual renewals, and typically provide fees from
$3,000 to $20,000 per year. The Company also provides remote monitoring of
temperature, pressure, humidity and air flow for HVAC systems. If the system is
not

operating within the specifications set forth by the customer and cannot be
remotely adjusted, a service crew is dispatched to analyze and repair the
system.

SOURCES OF SUPPLY

The raw materials and components used by the Company include HVAC system
components, ductwork, steel, sheet metal and copper tubing and piping. These raw
materials and components are generally available from a variety of domestic or
foreign suppliers at competitive prices. Delivery times are typically short for
most raw materials and standard components, but during periods of peak demand,
may extend to a month or more. Chillers for large units typically have the
longest delivery time and generally have lead times of up to six months. The
major components of HVAC systems are compressors and chillers that are
manufactured primarily by York Heating and Air Conditioning Corporation
("York"), Carrier Corporation and Trane Air Conditioning Company. The major
suppliers of control systems are Honeywell Inc., Johnson Controls Inc., York and
Andover Control Corporation. The Company does not have any significant contracts
for the supply of raw materials or components.

SALES AND MARKETING

The Company has a diverse customer base, with no single customer accounting
for more than 6% of the Company's historical consolidated 1997 revenues or 4% of
pro forma combined 1997 revenues. Management and a dedicated sales force at the
acquired companies have been responsible for developing and maintaining
successful long-term relationships with key customers. Customers of the acquired
companies generally include building owners and developers and property
managers, as well as general contractors, architects and consulting engineers.
The Company intends to continue its emphasis on developing and maintaining
long-term relationships with its customers by providing superior, high-quality
service in a professional manner. Moreover, the dedicated sales force will
receive additional technical and sales training to enhance the comprehensive
selling skills necessary to serve the HVAC needs of their customers.

The Company also intends to capitalize on cross-marketing and business
development opportunities that management believes are available to the Company
as a national provider of comprehensive commercial and industrial HVAC and
related services. Management believes that it will be able to leverage the
diverse technical and marketing strengths of individual acquired companies to
expand the services offered in other local markets. Eventually, the Company
intends to offer comprehensive services from many of its regional locations.

EMPLOYEES

As of March 31, 1998, the Company had 4,109 employees, including 235
management personnel, 3,249 engineers and service and installation technicians,
172 sales personnel and 453 administrative personnel. As it executes its
internal growth and acquisition strategies, the Company expects the number of
employees to increase. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries have collective
bargaining agreements that cover, in the aggregate, approximately 491 employees.
The Company has not experienced any strikes or work stoppages and believes its
relations with employees covered by collective bargaining agreements are good.

RECRUITING, TRAINING AND SAFETY

The Company's continued future success will depend, in part, on its ability
to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified service technicians, field
supervisors and project managers. The Company believes that its success in
retaining qualified employees will be based on the quality of its recruiting,
training, compensation, employee benefits programs and opportunities for
advancement. The Company recruits at local technical schools and community
colleges where students focus on learning basic HVAC and related skills.
Additionally, Comfort Systems provides on-the-job training, apprenticeship
programs, attractive benefit packages, steady employment and opportunities for
advancement.

The Company intends to establish "best practices"safety programs
throughout its operations to ensure that all technicians comply with safety
standards established by the Company and federal, state and local

laws and regulations. The Company's employment screening process seeks to
determine that prospective employees have the requisite skills, sufficient
background references and acceptable driving records, if applicable.
Additionally, the Company intends to implement a "best practices"safety
program throughout its operations, which will provide employees with incentives
to improve safety performance and decrease workplace accidents. The Company
intends to implement job site safety meetings which will provide additional
guidance in safety related matters such as proper lifting techniques and eye
safety in an effort to reduce the number of preventable accidents.

RISK MANAGEMENT, INSURANCE AND LITIGATION

The primary risks in the Company's operations are bodily injury, property
damage and injured workers' compensation. The Company has obtained and intends
to maintain liability insurance for bodily injury and third party property
damage which it considers sufficient to insure against these risks, subject to
self-insured amounts.

The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits arising in the normal
course of business and maintains various insurance coverages to minimize
financial risk associated with these claims. The Company has provided accruals
for probable losses and legal fees associated with certain of these actions in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
management, uninsured losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate resolution of
these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

The Company's subsidiaries typically warrant labor for the first year after
installation on new air conditioning and heating systems and pass to the
customer warranties on equipment purchased from manufacturers. The Company's
subsidiaries generally warrant labor for 30 days after servicing of existing air
conditioning and heating systems. The Company does not expect warranty claims to
have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of
operations.

COMPETITION

The HVAC industry is highly competitive. The Company believes that
purchasing decisions in the commercial and industrial markets are based on (i)
long-term customer relationships, (ii) quality, timeliness and reliability of
services provided, (iii) competitive price, (iv) range of services provided and
(v) scale of operation. The Company believes its strategy of becoming a leading
national provider of comprehensive HVAC installation services as well as
maintenance, repair and replacement of HVAC systems directly addresses these
factors. Specifically, the Company's strategy to focus on the highly
consultative "design and build" installation segment and the maintenance,
repair and replacement segment, as well as its strategy to operate on a
decentralized basis, should promote the development and strengthening of
long-term customer relationships. In addition, the Company's focus on
attracting, training and retaining quality employees by utilizing professionally
managed recruiting, training and benefits programs should allow it to offer high
quality, comprehensive HVAC services at a competitive price.

Most of the Company's competitors are small, owner-operated companies that
typically operate in a limited geographic area. There are, however, a few public
companies focused on providing HVAC services in some of the same service lines
provided by the Company. In addition, there are other private companies
attempting to consolidate HVAC companies on a regional or national basis. In the
future, competition may be encountered from new entrants, such as public
utilities and HVAC manufacturers. Certain of the Company's competitors and
potential competitors may have greater financial resources than the Company to
finance acquisition and development opportunities, to pay higher prices for the
same opportunities or to develop and support their own operations.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company's operations are subject to various federal, state and local
laws and regulations, including; (i) licensing requirements applicable to
service technicians, (ii) building and HVAC codes and zoning ordinances, (iii)
regulations relating to consumer protection, including those governing
residential service agreements and (iv) regulations relating to worker safety
and protection of the environment. The

Company believes it has all required licenses to conduct its operations and is
in substantial compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Failure of
the Company to comply with applicable regulations could result in substantial
fines or revocation of the Company's operating licenses.

Many state and local regulations governing the HVAC services trades require
permits and licenses to be held by individuals. In some cases, a required permit
or license held by a single individual may be sufficient to authorize specified
activities for all of the Company's service technicians who work in the state or
county that issued the permit or license. The Company intends to implement a
policy to ensure that, where possible, any such permits or licenses that may be
material to the Company's operations in a particular geographic region are held
by at least two Company employees within that region.

The Company's operations are subject to the federal Clean Air Act, as
amended (the "Clean Air Act"), which governs air emissions and imposes
specific requirements on the use and handling of chlorofluorocarbons ("CFCs")
and certain other refrigerants. Clean Air Act regulations require the
certification of service technicians involved in the service or repair of
equipment containing these refrigerants and also regulate the containment and
recycling of these refrigerants. These requirements have increased the Company's
training expenses and expenditures for containment and recycling equipment. The
Clean Air Act is intended ultimately to eliminate the use of CFCs in the United
States and to require alternative refrigerants to be used in replacement HVAC
systems. As a result, the number of conversions of existing HVAC systems which
utilize CFCs to systems using alternative refrigerants is expected to increase.

The Company is not aware of any material environmental liabilities
associated with its properties.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

Directors who are also employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries
do not receive additional compensation for serving as directors. Each director
who is not an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries receives a fee
of $2,000 for attendance at each Board of Directors meeting and $1,000 for each
committee meeting (unless held on the same day as a Board of Directors meeting).
Directors are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending
meetings of the Board of Directors or committees thereof.

In addition, the Company's 1997 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan (the
"Directors' Plan"), which was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved
by the Company's stockholders in March 1997, provides for (i) the automatic
grant to each non-employee director serving at the consummation of the Company's
initial public offering (which closed in July 1997) of an option to purchase
10,000 shares, (ii) the automatic grant to each non-employee director of an
option to purchase 10,000 shares upon such person's initial election as a
director and (iii) an automatic annual grant to each non-employee director of an
option to purchase 5,000 shares at each annual meeting of stockholders
thereafter at which such director is re-elected or remains a director, unless
such annual meeting is held within three months of such person's initial
election as a director. All options have an exercise price per share equal to
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and are
immediately vested and expire on the earlier of ten years from the date of grant
or one year after termination of service as a director. The Directors' Plan also
permits non-employee directors to elect to receive, in lieu of cash directors'
fees, shares or credits representing "deferred shares" at future settlement
dates, as selected by the director. The number of shares or deferred shares
received will equal the number of shares of Common Stock which, at the date the
fees would otherwise be payable, will have an aggregate fair market value equal
to the amount of such fees. A total of 250,000 shares of Common Stock are
available for awards under the Directors' Stock Plan.

Each director in office at the closing of the Company's initial public
offering in July 1997 has also been indemnified by the Company.

1997 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

No stock options were granted to, or exercised by or held by any executive
officer in 1996. In March 1997, the Board of Directors and the Company's
stockholders approved the Company's 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
"Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to provide directors, officers, key
employees, consultants and other service providers with additional incentives by
increasing their ownership interests in the Company. Individual awards under the
Plan may take the form of one or more of: (i) either incentive stock options
("ISOs") or non-qualified stock options ("NQSOs"), (ii) stock appreciation
rights ("SARs"), (iii) restricted or deferred stock, (iv) dividend equivalents
and (v) other awards not otherwise provided for, the value of which is based in
whole or in part upon the value of the Common Stock.

The Compensation Committee administers the Plan and selects the individuals
who will receive awards and establish the terms and conditions of those awards.
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to outstanding
awards, determined immediately after the grant of any award, may not exceed the
greater of 2,500,000 shares or 13% of the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Shares of Common Stock which are attributable to awards which
have expired, terminated or been canceled or forfeited are available for
issuance or use in connection with future awards.

The Plan will remain in effect until terminated by the Board of Directors.
The Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors without the consent of the
stockholders of the Company, except that any amendment, although effective when
made, will be subject to stockholder approval if required by any Federal or
state law or regulation or by the rules of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted.

At the closing of the IPO, NQSOs to purchase a total of 500,000 shares of
Common Stock were granted as follows: 200,000 shares to Mr. Ferreira, 100,000
shares to Mr. Beittenmiller, 100,000 shares to Mr. Busbee, 75,000 shares to Mr.
George and 25,000 shares to Mr. Nothum. In addition, options to purchase
2,332,638 shares have been granted to certain employees of the Company. Each of
the foregoing options has an exercise price equal to the stock price on the date
of grant. These options will vest at the rate of 20% per year, commencing on the
first anniversary of the date of grant and will expire at the earlier of seven
years from the date of grant or three months following termination of
employment.

1997 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' STOCK PLAN

The Company's 1997 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan (the "Directors'
Plan"), which was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the
Company's stockholders in March 1997, provides for (i) the automatic grant to
each non-employee director serving at the consummation of the IPO of an option
to purchase 10,000 shares, (ii) the automatic grant to each non-employee
director of an option to purchase 10,000 shares upon such person's initial
election as a director and (iii) an automatic annual grant to each non-employee
director of an option to purchase 5,000 shares at each annual meeting of
stockholders thereafter at which such director is re-elected or remains a
director, unless such annual meeting is held within three months of such
person's initial election as a director. All options have an exercise price per
share equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant
and are immediately vested and expire on the earlier of ten years from the date
of grant or one year after termination of service as a director. The Directors'
Plan also permits non-employee directors to elect to receive, in lieu of cash
directors' fees, shares or credits representing "deferred shares" at future
settlement dates, as selected by the director. The number of shares or deferred
shares received will equal the number of shares of Common Stock which, at the
date the fees would otherwise be payable, will have an aggregate fair market
value equal to the amount of such fees.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS; COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE; CHANGE OF CONTROL;
INDEMNIFICATION

The Company was incorporated in December 1996 and did not pay any of its
executive officers compensation during 1996. During 1997 its five most highly
compensated executive officers were Messrs. Ferreira, Beittenmiller, George,
Nothum, and Busbee. Messrs. Ferreira, Beittenmiller, George and Busbee were
employed beginning at the initial public offering on June 27, 1997. Mr. Nothum
was employed at Tri-City, where he was a major stockholder and president prior
to the initial public offering.

On June 27, 1997, each of Messrs. Ferreira, Beittenmiller, George and
Busbee entered into an employment agreement with the Company providing for an
annual base salary of $150,000, except for Mr. Busbee, whose annual base salary
is $125,000. Each employment agreement is for a term of three years, and unless
terminated or not renewed by the Company or not renewed by the employee, the
term will continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis on the same terms and
conditions existing at the time of renewal. The agreement provides that, in the
event of a termination of employment by the Company without cause, the employee
will be entitled to receive from the Company an amount equal to the greater of
salary for the remaining term or one year's salary, payable in one lump sum on
the effective date of termination. In the event of a change in control of the
Company (as defined in the employment agreement) during the initial

three-year term, if the employee is not given at least five days' notice, of the
successor's intent to continue the employee's employment after such change in
control, the employee may elect to terminate his employment and receive in one
lump sum three times the amount he would receive pursuant to a termination
without cause during such initial term. The non-competition provisions of the
employment agreement do not apply to a termination without such notice. In the
event the employee is given at least five days' notice of the successor's intent
to continue the employee's employment after such change in control, the employee
may elect to terminate his employment and receive in one lump sum two times the
amount he would receive pursuant to a termination without cause during such
initial term. In such event, the non-competition provisions of the employment
agreement would apply for two years from the effective date of termination. Each
employment agreement contains a covenant not to compete with the Company for two
years immediately following termination of employment or, in the case of a
termination by the Company without cause in the absence of a change in control,
for a period of one year following termination of employment.

On June 27, 1997, Mr. Nothum entered into an employment agreement providing
for an annual base salary of $150,000. His employment agreement is for a term of
five years, and unless terminated or not renewed by the Founding Company or nor
renewed by the employee, the term will continue thereafter on a year-to-year
basis on the same terms and conditions existing at the time of renewal. The
agreement provides that, in the event of a termination of employment by the
Founding Company without cause during the first three years of the employment
term (the "Initial Term"), the employee will be entitled to receive from the
Founding Company an amount equal to his then current salary for the remainder of
the Initial Term or for one year, whichever is greater. In the event of a
termination of employment with cause during the final two years of the initial
five-year term of the employment agreement, the employee will be entitled to
receive an amount equal to his then current salary for one year. In either case,
payment is due in one lump sum on the effective date of termination. Mr.
Nothum's employment agreement also contains change of control and competition
provisions identical to those described for the other Named Executive Officers
listed above.

Each executive officer and director of the Company who was in office at the
time of the initial public offering has entered into an Indemnification
Agreement with the Company whereby the Company indemnifies each against actions
taken in good faith on behalf of the Company.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

In connection with the formation of the Company, the Company issued to
Notre a total of 2,969,912 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate cash
consideration of $29,699. Mr. Harter is the President of Notre and a director of
the Company. In March 1997, Notre exchanged 2,742,912 shares of Common Stock for
an equal number of shares of Restricted Common Stock. Notre advanced $2.0
million to provide funds necessary to effect the Mergers (defined below) and the
IPO (defined below). All of Notre's advances were repaid from the net proceeds
of the IPO.

In January and February 1997, the Company issued a total 786,435 shares of
Common Stock at $.01 per share to various executive officers, as follows: Mr.
Ferreira -- 479,435 shares, Mr. Beittenmiller -- 116,000 shares, Mr.
Busbee -- 116,000 shares and Mr. George -- 75,000 shares. The Company also
granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock under the Directors'
Plan, effective upon the consummation of the IPO, to Mr. Harter, a director of
the Company, and to Messrs. Mercadante and Martin, who became directors of the
Company upon the closing of the IPO.

On June 27, 1997 the Company sold 7,015,000 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $13.00 per share in its initial public offering (the "IPO"). Proceeds
from the IPO were used to enable the Company to acquire by merger or share

following companies (the "Founding Companies"): Accurate Air Systems, Inc., a
Texas corporation ("Accurate"), Atlas Comfort Services USA, Inc., a Texas
corporation ("Atlas"), Contract Service, Inc., a Utah corporation
("CSI/Bonneville"), Eastern Heating & Cooling, Inc., a New York corporation
("Eastern"), Freeway Heating & Air Conditioning Inc., a Utah corporation

Standard Heating & Air Conditioning Company, an Alabama corporation
("Standard"), Tech Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., an Ohio corporation
("Tech"), Tri-City Mechanical, Inc., an Arizona corporation ("Tri-City"),
and Western Building Services, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Western"). As a
result of the Mergers, each of the Founding Companies is now a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company in
the Mergers consisted of $45.3 million in cash and 9,720,927 shares of Common
Stock. In addition, prior to the Mergers, Accurate distributed to Thomas J.

LEASES OF REAL PROPERTY BY FOUNDING COMPANIES

Atlas leases its office space in Houston, Texas, as well as single family
residences located in Austin, Texas, Phoenix, Arizona, and Antioch, Tennessee.
These properties are owned by M & B Interest, Inc. ("M & B"), a corporation
wholly owned by Mr. Brian S. Atlas, who is a director of the Company, and his
brother, Mr. Michael Atlas. The lease for the real property in Houston expired
on September 30, 1997 and provided for an annual rental of $90,000. The three
single family residences are leased on a month-to-month basis, at an annual
aggregate rental of $36,780. The Company has also agreed with M & B to lease a
recently constructed office and warehouse facility constructed by M & B in
Houston for an annual rental of

$204,000. This new office and warehouse facility replaced Atlas' existing
facility. During construction of the new facility, Atlas performed HVAC
installation at prices comparable to those charged to other customers. The
Company believes that the rent for these properties does not exceed fair market
value.

Tri-City has entered into an agreement with a limited liability corporation
owned by Mr. Nothum, Jr., who is a director of the Company, and his father to
lease office, operations and warehouse facilities for a ten year term at annual
rental of $530,100. Tri-City provides liability insurance on the property and is
responsible for any increase in real property taxes due to its improvement of
the leased property. The lease will expire in April 2007. During construction of
the new facility, Tri-City performed HVAC installation at prices comparable to
those charged to other customers. The Company believes that the rent for these
properties does not and will not exceed fair market value.

Lawrence leases its office space and fabrication facility in Jackson,
Tennessee from the father of Mr. Samuel M. Lawrence III, which is Lawrence's
Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. The lease expires on
October 31, 1997 and provides for an annual rental of $110,400. Additionally,
Lawrence provides liability insurance on the property and pays its proportionate
share of ad valorem taxes, utilities and maintenance costs. The Company believes
that the rent for this property does not exceed fair market value.

Accurate leases two parcels of real property in Houston, Texas owned by Mr.
Beaty, who is a director of the Company. One of the leased premises is used by
Accurate for office and warehouse space. The lease on one of these premises
expires on June 30, 2002 and provides for an annual rental of $38,000. The other
leased premise is used by Accurate as a sheet metal shop under a lease dated
July 1, 1997 that will expire on June 30, 2002 and that provides for an annual
rental of $46,700. The rental rate on these premises in subsequent years of the
lease term will be adjusted in accordance with the Consumer Price Index.
Additionally, Accurate will pay all utility, taxes and insurance costs on both
leased premises. Accurate has options to renew each lease for two additional
five-year terms. The Company believes that the rent for both properties does not
and will not exceed fair market value. Accurate previously owned the property it
uses for its sheet metal shop. Prior to the Mergers, Accurate distributed this
property having a net book value of approximately $370,000 to Mr. Beaty.

Eastern leases its office and warehouse space in Albany, New York from 60
Loudonville Road Associates ("Loudonville"), a partnership of Mr. Alfred J.
Giardenelli Jr., who is a director of the Company, and his brother. The lease
provides for annual rental of $55,000 and payment by Eastern of taxes,
maintenance, repairs, utilities and insurance costs on the leased premises. The
Company believes that the rent for this property does not exceed the fair market
value. The lease expires on December 31, 1999. Prior to expiration, however,
Eastern intends to enter into a 10-year lease with Loudonville for a new
building and to terminate the existing lease. Eastern has agreed to install the
HVAC systems in the new building at a price which the Company believes to be at
a fair market value. The Company's annual rental in the new building will be at
fair market value, as determined by an appraisal.

CSI/Bonneville leases its offices and warehouse space in Salt Lake Valley,
Utah from J & J Investments, a joint venture partly owned by Mr. Phillips, who
is a director of the Company. This lease expires on February 28, 2002 and
provides for an annual rental in 1997 of $120,720, increasing annually by 5%.
CSI/Bonneville is responsible for ad valorem taxes, maintenance, insurance and
third-party management costs related thereto. CSI/Bonneville has options to
renew the lease for two additional five-year terms at a fair market value
determined by an appraisal. The Company believes that the rent for this property
does not exceed fair market value.

Tech leases its office space in Solon, Ohio from Mr. Cook, who is a
director of the Company. The lease expires on April 2, 2000, and provides for an
annual rental of $84,000. Tech is responsible for its utility costs, 15% of
common utility costs and 50% of the landlord's costs of servicing and
maintaining the premises and providing comprehensive liability insurance for the
leased premises. The Company believes that the rent for such property does not
exceed fair market value.

During 1997, Quality leased its warehouse facility in Grand Rapids,
Michigan from Mr. Powers, who is a director of the Company. Construction of the
warehouse facility was financed with the proceeds of a public bond issue. The
lease expires on April 30, 2005, and provides for an annual rental of the
greater of $216,000 or Mr. Powers' costs for the leased warehouse, including
bond debt service or mortgage payments, utilities, insurance, ad valorem taxes,
maintenance and repairs. Quality has an option to renew the lease for one
additional three-year term on the same terms. The Company believes that the rent
for such property does not exceed fair market value. Quality has guaranteed the
payment of two series of public bonds issued in 1985 and 1990, respectively, by
the Michigan Strategic Fund on behalf of two real property development entities
owned by Mr. Powers, the proceeds of which were used to fund the construction of
Quality's leased warehouse facility and a second adjacent warehouse. After the
IPO, these bonds were repaid. In December 1997, Mr. Power sold his interest in
the leased facility to a third party, and at that time Quality entered into a
new lease for the premises which reduced Quality's cost for the premises.

F&G Mechanical Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("F&G") which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, leases its office and warehouse space in
Secaucus, New Jersey from Salpat Realty, Inc., a corporation which is owned in
part by Mr. Giardina. The lease expires on December 31, 2002, and provides for
an annual rental of $146,790. F&G is responsible for ad valorem taxes,
maintenance and insurance related thereto. The Company believes that the rent
for such property does not exceed fair market value.

The Company has adopted a policy that, whenever possible, it will not own
any real estate. Accordingly, in connection with future acquisitions, the
Company may require the distribution of real property owned by acquired
companies to its stockholders and the leaseback of such property at fair market
value.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS

Prior to the IPO, Atlas owed $78,000 to Sid Atlas, the father of Brian and
Michael Atlas, payable in monthly installments of $5,500, including interest at
the rate to 10%, through March 1998. Atlas was also the obligor on two
promissory notes payable to Brian S. Atlas and Michael Atlas in the outstanding
principal amount of $63,537 to each, providing for aggregate monthly
installments of $4,812, including interest at the rate of 10%, though June 1999.
Shortly after the IPO the Company paid and retired all such indebtedness.

On October 31, 1996, Lawrence loaned $75,000 to Charles Lawrence at an
interest rate of 8%. This note was payable on demand or October 31, 2001, and
was repaid shortly following the IPO. Charles Lawrence is a brother of Samuel M.
Lawrence III, who is a director of the Company.

On December 27, 1996, Accurate borrowed $630,000 from Mr. Beaty. Interest
was payable monthly at the rate of 9% on the outstanding balance. The note
matured on June 30, 1997 and was repaid at that time.

CSI/Bonneville owed Messrs. Phillips and another stockholder of
CSI/Bonneville $424,000 and $105,000, respectively. Two of the promissory notes,
payable to Mr. Phillips and the other stockholder, are in the principal amount
of $80,000 and $20,000, respectively, and are payable on demand. The remaining
eight promissory notes are each payable ten years from the date of the note, and
mature at various times from 2002 to 2006. All of the notes bear interest at
10%, with interest payable monthly and principal payable at maturity. In 1996,
CSI/Bonneville made interest payments to Mr. Phillips and the other stockholders
in the amount of $35,000 and $6,000, respectively. After the IPO the Company
paid and retired all such indebtedness.

During 1996, Mr. Klapperich, who is a director of the Company, received
advances from Western aggregating $173,500. On December 31, 1996, Western
credited against this amount a portion of a dividend payable in the amount of
$210,315, discharging the indebtedness of Mr. Klapperich to Western.

The Company paid an aggregate of $150,000 of the legal fees of the owners
of the Founding Companies in connection with the acquisition of their companies.

Prior to its purchase by the Company, F&G had advanced an aggregate of $5.6
million to Sorce Properties LLC, a corporation that is owned in part by Mr.
Giardina. At the time of the acquisition of F&G,

Sorce Properties LLC agreed that it would repay the debt within three years, and
Mr. Giardina pledged to F&G 180,262 shares of Company common stock received in
the transaction, as part of a pledge of an aggregate total of 360,524 shares of
Company common stock to secure repayment of the indebtedness. A note bearing 6%
interest evidences the underlying indebtedness, and the Company has agreed that
it will only have recourse to the stock in the event that the debt is not paid.
The pledge agreement further provides that the pledged shares may be released
under certain circumstances if Mr. Giardina gives F&G an unlimited personal
guarantee of the indebtedness.

The Company has agreed to indemnify Notre for liabilities arising in
connection with actions taken by it in connection with its role as a promoter
prior to and during the IPO.

INSIDER PARTICIPATION" for other information required to be disclosed here.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 57,969,912 shares
of capital stock, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 2,969,912
shares of Restricted Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The
Company has outstanding 29,659,951 shares of Common Stock, which includes
2,742,912 shares of Restricted Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock.
The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Comfort Systems, which is included as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

COMMON STOCK AND RESTRICTED COMMON STOCK

The holders of Common Stock are each entitled to one vote for each share
held on all matters to which they are entitled to vote, including the election
of directors. The holders of Restricted Common Stock, voting together as a
single class, are entitled to elect one member of the Company's Board of
Directors and to 0.55 of one vote for each share held on all other matters on
which they are entitled to vote. Holders of Restricted Common Stock are not
entitled to vote on the election of any other directors. Upon consummation of
this Offering, the Board of Directors will be classified into three classes as
nearly equal in number as possible, with the term of each class expiring on a
staggered basis. The classification of the Board of Directors may make it more
difficult to change the composition of the Board of Directors and thereby may
discourage or make more difficult an attempt by a person or group to obtain
control of the Company. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not
permitted. Any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed at any
time, with cause, by of a majority of the aggregate number of votes which may be
cast by the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and
Restricted Common Stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, except
that only the holder of the Restricted Common Stock may remove the director such
holder is entitled to elect.

Subject to the rights of any then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock,
holders of Common Stock and Restricted Common Stock are together entitled to
participate pro rata in such dividends as may be declared in the discretion of
the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of
Common Stock and Restricted Common Stock together are entitled to share ratably
in the net assets of the Company upon liquidation after payment or provision for
all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of any Preferred Stock
then outstanding. Holders of Common Stock and holders of Restricted Common Stock
have no preemptive rights to purchase shares of stock of the Company. Shares of
Common Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are not
convertible into any other securities of the Company. Shares of Restricted
Common Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are convertible
into Common Stock as described below. All outstanding shares of Common Stock and
Restricted Common Stock are, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to this Offering will be, upon payment therefor, fully paid and
non-assessable.

Each share of Restricted Common Stock will automatically convert to Common
Stock on a share-for-share basis (i) in the event of a disposition of such share
of Restricted Common Stock by the holder thereof (other than a distribution by a
holder to its partners or beneficial owners, or a transfer to a related party of
such holders (as defined in Sections 267, 707, 318 and/or 4946 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended)), (ii) in the event any person acquires
beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the total number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, or (iii) in the event any person offers to acquire 15% or more of
the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. After July 1, 1998, the
Board of Directors may elect to convert any remaining shares of Restricted
Common Stock into shares of Common Stock in the event 80% or more of the
originally outstanding shares of Restricted Common Stock have been previously
converted into shares of Common Stock.

The Common Stock is listed on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol
"FIX." The Restricted Common Stock is not listed on any exchange.

PREFERRED STOCK

The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of
Directors in one or more series. Subject to the provisions of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and limitations prescribed by law, the Board of
Directors is expressly authorized to adopt resolutions to issue the shares, to
fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any
series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including
whether dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption
(including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and
liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the Preferred
Stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the stockholders. The
Company has no current plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock.

One of the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable the
Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to
obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger
or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of the Company's management.
The issuance of shares of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Board of
Directors' authority described above may adversely affect the rights of the
holders of Common Stock. For example, Preferred Stock issued by the Company may
rank prior to the Common Stock and Restricted Common Stock as to dividend
rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights
and may be convertible into shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of
shares of Preferred Stock may discourage bids for the Common Stock or may
otherwise adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.

STATUTORY BUSINESS COMBINATION PROVISION

The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL which, with certain
exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad
range of business combinations with any "interested stockholder" for a period
of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested
stockholder, unless: (i) prior to such date, the Board of Directors of the
corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon
consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the
voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction
commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares
outstanding those shares owned (a) by persons who are directors and officers and
(b) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right
to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be
tendered in a tender or exchange offer, or (iii) on or after such date, the
business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an
annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least
66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested
stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is defined as any person that is (a)
the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or
(b) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or
more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the
three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be
determined whether such person is an interested stockholder.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and as permitted by
Delaware law, directors of the Company are not liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for
liability in connection with a breach of duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, for dividend payments or stock repurchases illegal under Delaware law or
any transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal benefit.

Additionally, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that
directors and officers of the Company shall be, and at the discretion of the
Board of Directors non-officer employees and agents may be, indemnified by the
Company to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or
may in

the future be amended, against all expenses and liabilities actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of the Company,
and further permits the advancing of expenses incurred in defense of claims.

The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that any action required or
permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders must be effected at a duly called meeting and may not be
taken or effected by a written consent of stockholders in lieu thereof. The
Company's Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called
only by the Chief Executive Officer, by a majority of the Board of Directors, or
by a majority of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The Bylaws
provide that only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting
may be considered or acted upon at that special meeting. To amend or repeal the
Company's Bylaws, an amendment or repeal thereof must first be approved by the
Board of Directors or by affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of
the total votes eligible to be cast by holders of voting stock with respect to
such amendment or repeal.

The Company's Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure with regard to
the nomination, other than by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a
committee thereof, of candidates for election as directors (the "Nomination
Procedure") and with regard to other matters to be brought by stockholders
before an annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Business
Procedure"). The Nomination Procedure requires that a stockholder give prior
written notice, in proper form, of a planned nomination for the Board of
Directors to the Secretary of the Company. The requirements as to the form and
timing of that notice are specified in the Company's Bylaws. If the Chairman of
the Board of Directors determines that a person was not nominated in accordance
with the Nomination Procedure, such person will not be eligible for election as
a director. Under the Business Procedure, a stockholder seeking to have any
business conducted at an annual meeting must give prior written notice, in
proper form, to the Secretary of the Company. The requirements as to the form
and timing of that notice are specified in the Company's Bylaws. If the Chairman
of the Board of Directors determines that the other business was not properly
brought before such meeting in accordance with the Business Procedure, such
business will not be conducted at such meeting.

Although the Company's Bylaws do not give the Board of Directors any power
to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations for the election of directors
or of any other business desired by stockholders to be conducted at an annual or
any other meeting, the Company's Bylaws (i) may have the effect of precluding a
nomination for the election of directors or precluding the conduct of business
at a particular meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or (ii) may
discourage or deter a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to
elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of
the Company, even if the conduct of such solicitation or such attempt might be
beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New York, New York, 10005.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

The Company has outstanding 29,659,951 shares of Common Stock. The
7,015,000 shares sold in the IPO and 618,374 shares issued in acquisitions are
freely tradeable without restriction unless acquired by affiliates of the
Company. The remaining outstanding shares of Common Stock or Restricted Common
Stock either have not been registered under the Securities Act, which means that
they may be resold publicly only upon registration under the Securities Act or
in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, including the exemption provided by Rule 144 thereunder, or are
otherwise subject to contractual restrictions on transfer.

In general, under Rule 144, if a period of at least one year has elapsed
between the later of the date on which restricted securities were acquired from
the Company or the date on which they were acquired from an affiliate, the
holder of such restricted securities (including an affiliate) is entitled to
sell a number of shares within any three-month period that does not exceed the
greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock or
(ii) the average weekly reported volume of trading of the Common Stock during
the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also
subject to certain requirements pertaining to the manner of such sales, notices
of such sales and the availability of current public information concerning the
Company. Affiliates may sell shares not constituting restricted securities in
accordance with the foregoing volume limitations and other requirements but
without regard to the one year holding period. Under Rule 144(k), if a period of
at least two years has elapsed between the later of the date on which restricted
securities were acquired from the Company and the date on which they were
acquired from an affiliate, a holder of such restricted securities who is not an
affiliate at the time of the sale and has not been an affiliate for a least
three months prior to the sale is entitled to sell the shares immediately
without regard to the volume limitations and other conditions described above.

All of the stockholders of the Founding Companies, the Company's officers
and directors and certain stockholders, holding in the aggregate 13,960,874
shares of Common Stock, have agreed with the Company that they will not sell any
of their shares for a period of one year after the closing of the IPO. These
stockholders, however, have the right, in the event the Company proposes to
register under the Securities Act any Common Stock for its own account or for
the account of others, subject to certain exceptions, to require the Company to
include their shares in the registration, subject to the right of the Company to
exclude some or all of the shares in the offering upon the advice of the
managing underwriter. In addition, certain of such stockholders have certain
limited demand registration rights to require the Company to register shares
held by them following the first anniversary of the closing of the IPO. As of
April 22, 1998, 9,526,384 shares held or issued at the time of the IPO will
become eligible for sale, subject to the restrictions in Rule 144, during the

The Company has hereby registered 8,000,000 shares of its Common Stock
under the Securities Act for use by the Company in connection with future
acquisitions. After the effective date of such registration, any such shares
that may be issued will generally be freely tradeable, unless acquired by
persons who

become affiliates of the Company. The Company may contractually restrict the
sale of shares issued in connection with future acquisitions. As of April 22,
1998, 5,890,950 shares remained available for use in future acquisitions under
such shelf. The piggyback registration rights described above do not apply to
the registration statement relating to these shares or to this registration
statement.

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that the sale of shares
or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price for the
Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales, or the
availability for sale of, substantial amounts of the Common Stock in the public
market could adversely affect prevailing market prices and the future ability of
the Company to raise equity capital and complete any additional acquisitions for
Common Stock.

Company by Bracewell & Patterson, L.L.P., Houston, Texas.

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.
INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Comfort Systems USA, Inc. ("Comfort Systems" and collectively with its
subsidiaries, the "Company") was founded in 1996 to become a leading national
provider of HVAC services focusing primarily on commercial and industrial
markets. On June 27, 1997, Comfort Systems completed the initial public offering
(the "Offering") of its common stock (the "Common Stock") and simultaneously
acquired in separate concurrent transactions, twelve companies (collectively
referred to as the "Founding Companies"). For financial statement purposes,
Comfort Systems has been identified as the accounting acquirer. Subsequent to
June 30, 1997, and through December 31, 1997, the Company acquired 27 HVAC and
related businesses. Of the 27 acquisitions, 14 were accounted for as
poolings-of-interests (the "Pooled Companies") and 13 were accounted for as
purchases (the "Purchased Companies").

On February 12, 1998, Comfort Systems acquired F&G Mechanical Corporation
and Meadowlands Fire Protection Corp. (together "F&G"). Pursuant to the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, F&G is considered a "significant
subsidiary."

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet reflects the
acquisition of F&G as if it had occurred on December 31, 1997. The following
unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 1997 presents the Company and the restatement of F&G, the Founding Companies
and Purchased Companies as if the acquisitions by the Company occurred on
January 1, 1997.

Comfort Systems has preliminarily analyzed the savings that it expects to
be realized from reductions in salaries and certain benefits to the former
owners. To the extent the former owners of F&G, the Founding Companies, the
Purchased Companies and the Pooled Companies have agreed prospectively to
reductions in salary, bonuses and benefits, these reductions have been reflected
in the pro forma combined statements of operations. With respect to other
potential cost savings, Comfort Systems has not and cannot quantify these
savings. It is anticipated that these savings will be offset by costs related to
Comfort Systems' new corporate management and by the costs associated with being
a public company. However, because these costs cannot be accurately quantified
at this time, they have not been included in the pro forma financial information
of Comfort Systems.

The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and
certain assumptions and may be revised, as additional information becomes
available. The pro forma financial data do not purport to represent what Comfort
Systems' financial position or results of operations would actually have been if
such transactions in fact had occurred on those dates and are not necessarily
representative of the Comfort Systems' financial position or results of
operations for any future period. Since the Company, F&G, the Founding
Companies, Purchased Companies and Pooled Companies were not under common
control or management, historical combined results may not be comparable to, or
indicative of, future performance. The unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the other financial statements and
notes thereto included elsewhere in this Registration Statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Comfort
Systems USA, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1996 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Comfort Systems USA, Inc., and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1997,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

Comfort Systems USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, ("Comfort Systems" and
collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company"), is a national provider of
comprehensive heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") installation,
maintenance, repair and replacement services. Founded in December 1996, the
Company is consolidating the fragmented commercial and industrial HVAC markets,
executing most of its applications within office buildings, retail centers,
apartment complexes, hotels, manufacturing plants and government facilities. In
addition to standard HVAC services, the Company also provides specialized
applications such as process cooling, control systems, electronic monitoring and
process piping. Certain locations also perform related services such as
electrical and plumbing.

On June 27, 1997, Comfort Systems completed the initial public offering
(the "Offering") of its common stock (the "Common Stock") and simultaneously
acquired in separate concurrent transactions twelve companies (collectively
referred to as the "Founding Companies") engaged in providing HVAC services.
The Founding Companies had operations in ten states. Subsequent to June 30,
1997, and through December 31, 1997, the Company acquired 27 HVAC and related
businesses. These companies added operating locations in an additional 10 states
(which includes Puerto Rico). These acquisitions included six "tuck-in"
operations which were combined with existing Comfort Systems locations in 1997.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

For financial statement purposes, Comfort Systems has been identified as
the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements
include those of Comfort Systems since December 1996. Of the 27 acquisitions
noted above, 14 were accounted for as poolings-of-interests (the "Pooled
Companies") and 13 were accounted for as purchases (the "Purchased
Companies"). These consolidated financial statements reflect the acquisitions
of the Founding Companies and Purchased Companies as of their respective
acquisition dates and reflects eight of the Pooled Companies (the "Restated
Companies") for all periods presented. Certain of the Pooled Companies are
considered immaterial poolings based upon the relative significance of their
individual operations and have not been restated for all periods presented. The
acquisitions of the Founding and Purchased Companies were accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. The allocations of the purchase prices to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed of these companies have been recorded
based on preliminary estimates of fair value and may be changed as additional
information becomes available.

Prior to their acquisition by Comfort Systems, three of the Pooled
Companies reported annual results based on fiscal year-ends other than December
31. An adjustment to conform the year-ends of these companies to December 31
year-ends was made in 1996 resulting in an increase of approximately $376,000 to
retained earnings and cash flows for 1996.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Comfort Systems and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

CASH FLOW INFORMATION

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Cash paid for interest in 1995, 1996 and 1997 was approximately $242,000,
$246,000, and $492,000, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes in 1995, 1996
and 1997 was approximately $228,000, $697,000, and $985,000, respectively.

F-14

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

The Company recorded capital leases in 1995, 1996 and 1997 of approximately
$ -- , $ -- , and $114,000, respectively.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of parts and supplies held for use in the ordinary
course of business and are stated at the lower of cost or market using the
first-in, first-out method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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
expected life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

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 over the
remaining useful life of the equipment. 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 purchase price paid by the
Company in acquisitions accounted for as purchases over the fair value of the
net tangible assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis
over 40 years.

The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the remaining
balance of goodwill recorded from business acquisitions. The Company uses an
estimate of future income from operations and cash flows, as well as other
economic and business factors as a measure of recoverability of these assets.

As of December 31, 1997, accumulated amortization of goodwill was
approximately $1.9 million.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the
percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and revenues, and their effects are recognized in the period
in which the revisions are determined.

Receivable 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 will be billed and
collected in the upcoming fiscal year.

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company typically warrants labor for the first year after installation
on new air conditioning and heating systems. The Company generally warrants
labor for 30 days after servicing of existing air conditioning and heating
systems. A reserve for warranty costs is recorded upon completion of
installation or service.

F-15

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES

The Company will file a consolidated return for federal income tax
purposes. Income taxes are provided for under the liability method, which takes
into account differences between financial statement treatment and tax treatment
of certain transactions. Deferred tax assets represent the tax effect of
activity that has been reflected in the financial statements but which will not
be deductible for tax purposes until future periods. Deferred tax liabilities
represent the tax effect of activity that has been reflected in the financial
statements but which will not be taxable until future periods.

Certain of the Pooled Companies were S Corporations for income tax purposes
and, accordingly, any income tax liabilities for the periods prior to the
acquisition date are the responsibility of the respective stockholders. All
acquired entities are subject to corporate income taxes subsequent to their
acquisition.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets,
liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company provides services to a broad range of geographical regions. The
Company's credit risk primarily consists of receivables from a variety of
customers including, general contractors, property owners and developers, and
commercial and industrial companies. The Company reviews its accounts receivable
and provides allowances as deemed necessary.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Accordingly, in
the event that facts and circumstances indicate that property and equipment or
other assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be
performed. 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 a write-down to fair value is necessary. Adoption of this standard
did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

POOLINGS

During 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the
Pooled Companies in exchange for 4,507,406 shares of Common Stock. These
acquisitions have been accounted for as poolings-of-interests as described in
Note 2. These companies provide HVAC and related services.

The historical financial statements for 1995 and 1996 represent the
operations of the Restated Companies prior to their acquisition by the Company.
The combined revenues and net income of the Pooled Companies for the
preacquisition period in 1997 were $94.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

PURCHASES

Subsequent to the Offering, Comfort Systems acquired the thirteen Purchased
Companies, which were accounted for as purchase transactions. These companies
provide HVAC and related services. The aggregate consideration paid in these
transactions was $14.5 million in cash, 1,092,489 shares of Common Stock with a
market value at the date of acquisition totaling $13.3 million and $5.0 million
in the form of convertible subordinated notes (the "Notes"). These notes are
convertible at various dates in 1998 or 1999

F-16

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

and thereafter into 225,473 or 220,449 shares of Common Stock, respectively. The
accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 includes allocations of the
respective purchase prices to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
on preliminary estimates of fair value and is subject to final adjustment. The
allocations resulted in $25.4 million of goodwill, which represents the excess
of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired for
the Purchased Companies. In conjunction with the acquisitions, goodwill was
determined as follows (in thousands):

Fair value of assets acquired, net of

Pro forma adjustments included in the preceding tables regarding the
Founding Companies and the Purchased Companies primarily relate to (a) certain
reductions in salaries and benefits to the former owners (the "Compensation
Differential") of the Founding Companies, Pooled Companies and Purchased
Companies which they agreed would take effect as of the acquisition date, (b)
pro forma compensation expense of $430,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997, to reflect the ongoing salaries received by corporate management as though
these salaries were being paid prior to the Offering, (c) elimination of merger
costs in connection with the acquisition of the Pooled Companies, (d)
amortization of goodwill related to the Purchased and Founding Companies, (e)
elimination of the non-recurring, non-cash compensation charge of $11.6 million
recorded by Comfort Systems in the first quarter of 1997 related to Common Stock
issued to management of and consultants to the Company, and (f) interest expense
on borrowings of $11.0 million that would have been necessary to fund certain S
Corporation distributions as if they had occurred at the beginning of each
period presented. In addition, an incremental tax provision has been recorded as
if all applicable Purchased and Founding Companies and Pooled Companies which
were C Corporations had been subject to federal and state income taxes.

The pro forma combined results presented above are not necessarily
indicative of actual results which might have occurred had the operations and
management teams of the Company, the Founding Companies, the Purchased Companies
and Pooled Companies been combined at the beginning of the periods presented.

ADDITIONAL ACQUISITIONS

Subsequent to December 31, 1997, and through February 25, 1998, the Company
completed five additional acquisitions (the "Additional Acquisitions") for
approximately $15.1 million in cash, 2,002,894 shares of Common Stock and
approximately $1.3 million in Notes. The Company filed a Current Report on Form
8-K related to one of these Additional Acquisitions. Annualized revenues from
the businesses

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

ratio, EBITDA may include the preceding twelve months' results for any companies
acquired during the last year. Under the other interest rate option, borrowings
bear interest based on designated short-term Eurodollar rates (which generally
approximate the London Interbank Offered Rates or LIBOR, as published in major
financial media) plus one to two percentage points, again depending on the ratio
of debt to EBITDA. In addition, commitment fees of 0.125% to 0.375% per annum,
also depending on the ratio of debt to EBITDA, are payable on the unused portion
of the line of credit. The Credit Facility prohibits the payment of dividends by
the Company without lender's approval and requires the Company to comply with
certain financial covenants. The Credit Facility expires on July 2, 2000, at
which time all amounts outstanding under the facility are due.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had borrowed $15.3 million under the
Credit Facility at an average interest rate of approximately 6.7% per annum for
the second half of 1997. As of March 24, 1998, $43.8 million (unaudited) was
outstanding under this facility.

The Notes in the amount of $5 million referred to above were issued to
former owners of certain Purchased Companies as partial consideration of the
acquisition purchase price. The Notes bear interest, payable quarterly, at a
weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and are convertible by the holder into
shares of the Company's Common Stock at a weighted average price of $22.08 per
share. The terms of the Notes require $0.3 million of principal payments in 1999
and $4.7 million of principal payments at maturity in 2000.

The Company estimates the fair value of long-term debt as of December 31,
1997, to be approximately the same as the recorded value.

7. INCOME TAXES:

The Company has implemented SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

Certain of the Company's subsidiaries sponsor various retirement plans for
most full-time and some part-time employees. These plans consist of defined
contribution plans and multi-employer pension plans and cover employees at
substantially all of the Company's operating locations. The defined contribution

F-21

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

plans provide for contributions ranging from 1% to 5% of covered employees'
salaries or wages and totaled $1.4 million for 1995, $1.8 million for 1996 and
$1.4 million for 1997. Of these amounts, approximately $830,000 and $400,000 was
payable to the plans at December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1997, respectively.

Certain of the Company's subsidiaries also participate in several
multi-employer pension plans for the benefit of their employees who are union
members. Company contributions to these plans were approximately $0.7 million
for 1995, $0.6 million for 1996 and $0.8 million for 1997. The data available
from administrators of the multi-employer pension plans is not sufficient to
determine the accumulated benefit obligations, nor the net assets attributable
to the multi-employer plans in which Company employees participate.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

LEASES

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and
1997 was $0.5 million, $0.5 million, and $1.8 million, respectively. Concurrent
with the acquisitions of certain Founding, Pooled and Purchased Companies, the
Company entered into various agreements with previous owners to lease land and
buildings used in the Company's operations. The terms of these leases range from
five years to twenty years and provide for certain escalations in the rental
expenses each year. Included in the 1997 rent expenses above is approximately
$1.0 million of rent paid to these related parties. The following represents
future minimum rental payments under noncancelable operating leases (in

CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS

The Company is from time to time party to litigation in the ordinary course
of business. There are currently no pending legal proceedings that, in
management's opinion, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operating results or financial condition. The Company maintains various
insurance coverages in order to minimize financial risk associated with certain
claims. The Company has provided accruals for probable losses and legal fees
associated with certain of these actions in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

10. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY:

COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK

Comfort Systems effected a 121.1387-for-one stock split on March 19, 1997
for each share of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding. In addition, the
Company increased the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 52,969,912
and authorized 5,000,000 shares of $.01 par value preferred stock. The effects
of the Common Stock split and the increase in the number of shares of authorized
Common Stock have been retroactively reflected on the balance sheet and in the
accompanying notes as applicable.

F-22

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

In connection with the organization and initial capitalization of Comfort
Systems, the Company issued 121,139 shares of Common Stock at $.01 per share to
Notre Captial Ventures II, L.L.C. ("Notre"). In January 1997, the Company
issued 2,848,773 additional shares to Notre for $.01 per share.

In January and February 1997, the Company issued a total of 1,269,935
shares of Common Stock to management of and consultants to the Company at a
price of $.01 per share. As a result, the Company recorded a non-recurring,
non-cash compensation charge of $11.6 million in the first quarter of 1997,
representing the difference between the amount paid for the shares and the
estimated fair value of the shares on the date of sale.

RESTRICTED COMMON STOCK

In March 1997, Notre exchanged its 2,742,912 shares of Common Stock for an
equal number of shares of restricted voting common stock ("Restricted Voting
Common Stock"). The holder of Restricted Voting Common Stock is entitled to
elect one member of the Company's Board of Directors and to 0.55 of one vote for
each share on all other matters on which they are entitled to vote. Holders of
Restricted Voting Common Stock are not entitled to vote on the election of any
other directors.

Each share of Restricted Voting Common Stock will automatically convert to
Common Stock on a share-for-share basis (i) in the event of a disposition of
such share of Restricted Voting Common Stock by the holder thereof (other than a
distribution which is a distribution by a holder to its partners or beneficial
owners, or a transfer to a related party of such holders (as defined in Sections
267, 707, 318 and/or 4946 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended)),
(ii) in the event any person acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the
total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or (iii) in
the event any person offers to acquire 15% or more of the total number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. After July 1,1998, the Board
of Directors may elect to convert any remaining shares of Restricted Voting
Common Stock into shares of Common Stock in the event 80% or more of the
originally outstanding shares of Restricted Voting Common Stock have been
previously converted into shares of Common Stock.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share."SFAS No. 128 revises the methodology to be used in
computing earnings per share (EPS) such that the computations previously
required for primary and fully diluted EPS are to be replaced with "basic" and
"diluted" EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted
EPS is computed in the same manner as fully diluted EPS, except that, among
other changes, the average share price for the period is used in all cases when
applying the treasury stock method to potentially dilutive outstanding options.
The Notes are not included in the weighted average shares outstanding because
they were not significant. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128 and restated EPS
for all periods presented.

11. STOCK OPTION PLANS:

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

In March 1997, the Company's stockholders approved the Company's 1997
Long-Term Incentive Plan which provides for the granting or awarding of
incentive or non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
or deferred stock, dividend equivalents or other incentive awards to directors,
officers, key employees and consultants to the Company.

The Company's 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan provides for the granting of
options to key employees to purchase an aggregate of not more than 13% of the
total number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding at the time of
grant. Such options have been issued by the Company at fair market value on the
date of grant and become exercisable in five equal annual installments beginning
on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The options expire after seven
years from the date of grant if unexercised. Outstanding options may be canceled
and reissued under terms specified in the plan.

The following table summarizes activity under the Company's stock option
plan:

1997
----------
Options outstanding, beginning of
year............................... --
Granted (range of exercise
prices, $13.00 to $17.88)...... 2,537,203
Forfeited (range of exercise
prices, $13.00 to $17.88)...... --
----------
Options outstanding, end of year..... 2,537,203
==========

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under Accounting
Principles Board Statement No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
(APB 25). Under this accounting method, no expense in connection with a stock
option is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations if the
exercise price of the option is equal to the market price of the stock on the
date of grant. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which requires that
if a company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB 25,
the company must also disclose the effects on its results of operations as if an
estimate of the value of stock-

F-24

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

based compensation at the date of grant was recorded as an expense in the
company's statement of operations. These effects for the Company are as follows
(in thousands, except per share data):

1997
---------
Net Loss As reported..................... $ (2,830)
Pro forma for SFAS No. 123...... $ (3,229)
Loss Per Share As reported..................... $ (.16)
Pro forma for SFAS No. 123...... $ (.18)

Pro forma basic loss per share and diluted loss per share are the same for
SFAS No. 123 purposes.

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. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions:

Expected dividend yield.............. 0.00%
Expected stock price volatility...... 39.41%
Risk free interest rate.............. 5.77%-6.15%
Expected life of options............. 7 years

Options outstanding at December 31, 1997, had exercise prices ranging from
$13.00 to $17.88, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 6.6 years, a
weighted average fair value of $4.24 per option and a weighted average exercise
price of $13.72 per option.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK PLAN

In March 1997, the Company's stockholders approved the 1997 Non-Employee
Directors' Stock Plan (the "Directors' Plan"), which provides for the granting
or awarding of stock options and stock appreciation rights to non-employees. The
number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the Directors' Plan
is 250,000 shares. The Directors' Plan provides for the automatic grant of
options to purchase 10,000 shares to each non-employee director serving at the
commencement of the Offering.

Each non-employee director will be granted options to purchase 10,000
shares at the time of the initial election. In addition, each director will be
automatically granted options to purchase an additional 5,000 shares at each
annual meeting of the stockholders occurring more than two months after the date
of the director's initial election. All options will be granted with an exercise
price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant and are immediately
vested upon grant.

Options have been granted to three current members of the board of
directors to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at the initial Offering
price. These options will expire at the earlier of 10 years from the date of
grant or one year after termination of service as a director.

The Directors' Plan allows non-employee directors to receive shares
("Deferred Shares") at future settlement dates in lieu of cash. The number of
Deferred Shares will have an aggregate fair market value equal to the fees
payable to the directors.

12. SIGNIFICANT VENDORS:

Significant vendors are defined as those that account for greater than 10%
of the Company's purchases. For the year ended December 31, 1997, one vendor
accounted for 10.9% of the Company's purchases. There were no significant
vendors in 1996 or 1995. The Company believes that an interruption in supply
from the significant vendor referred to above would not have a material adverse
impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

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.

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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the
percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognized in the period in
which the revisions 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 will be billed and
collected in the upcoming fiscal year.

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company warrants labor for the first year after installation on new air
conditioning and heating systems. The Company generally warrants labor for 30
days after servicing of existing air conditioning and heating systems. A reserve
for warranty costs is recorded upon completion of installation or service.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected S Corporation status as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code, whereby the Company is not subject to taxation for federal
purposes. Under S Corporation status, the shareholders report their share of the
Company's taxable earnings or losses in their personal tax returns. The Company
will terminate its S Corporation status concurrently with the effective date of
this Offering. Included in current assets are deposits to prepay certain of the
shareholders' federal income taxes.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Accordingly, in
the event that facts and circumstances indicate that property and equipment or
other assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be
performed. 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 a write-down to market value is necessary. Adoption of this
standard did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comfort Systems, providing for the
merger of the Company with the subsidiary of Comfort Systems. On July 2, 1997,
Comfort Systems completed its initial public offering and the merger with the
Company.

In connection with the merger, Comfort Systems assumed all debt of the

ATLAS COMFORT SERVICES USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

Atlas Comfort Services USA, Inc., a Texas corporation, and its subsidiary
(the "Company") is a leading provider of HVAC installation services for
apartment complexes, condominiums and hotels in the United States and also
provides maintenance, repair and replacement of HVAC systems. Atlas primarily
operates in the southwest, northeast, and the mid-Atlantic regions of the United
States.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of
operations of the Company and its subsidiary which are under common control and
management of two individuals. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in combination.

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 duct materials, air conditioning equipment,
refrigeration supplies and accessories held for use in the ordinary course of
business and are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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.

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 statements of operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the
percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the
revisions 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

F-41

ATLAS COMFORT SERVICES USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Company's experience with similar contracts in recent years, the retention
balance will be billed and collected in the upcoming fiscal year.

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company warrants labor for the first year after installation on new air
conditioning and heating units. The Company generally warrants labor for 30 days
after servicing of existing air conditioning and heating units. A reserve for
warranty costs is recorded upon completion of installation or service.

INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109.
Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded based upon the differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
underlying assets or liabilities are recovered or settled.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

GOODWILL

Goodwill, in the amount of $33,000, represents the excess of cost over the
fair value of net assets acquired and is amortized using the straight-line
method over 40 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of its goodwill
whenever adverse events occur and believes that no material impairment exists.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective July 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." Accordingly, in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that
property and equipment, and intangible or other assets may be impaired, an
evaluation of recoverability would be performed. 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 a write-down to market
value is necessary. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

LITIGATION

The Company is involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. Management does not believe the outcome of such legal action will have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or consolidated
results of operations.

INSURANCE

The Company carries a broad range of insurance coverage, including general
and business auto liability, commercial property, workers' compensation and a
general umbrella policy. The Company has not incurred significant claims or
losses on any of its insurance policies.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company sponsors a Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the "Plan") which
covers substantially all employees. The employees who participate in the Plan
may contribute 1 percent to 20 percent of their base compensation, and the
Company may make discretionary matching contributions. The Company did not make
any contributions for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995. The Company
made $18,248 in contributions for the year ended June 30, 1996 and $12,667 for
the six months ended December 31, 1996.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
notes receivable, notes payable, a line of credit and long-term debt. The
Company believes that the carrying value of these instruments on the
accompanying balance sheet approximates their fair value.

12. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS:

Significant customers are those that account for greater than ten percent
of the Company's revenues. For the year ended June 30, 1996 and the six months
ended December 31, 1996, one customer, a publicly traded Real Estate Investment
Trust, accounted for 14% and 20% of the Company's revenues, respectively.
Receivables outstanding from this customer represented 13% and 12% of the
Company's trade and retainage receivables as of June 30, 1996 and December 31,
1996, respectively. In addition, one of the Company's shareholders has less than
1% ownership in this customer.

During the years ended June 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996 and the six months
ended December 31, 1996, two vendors accounted for 12% and 11%; 29% and 17%; 20%
and 17%; and 15% and 12% of the Company's purchases, respectively.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

In March 1997, the Company and its shareholders entered into a definitive
agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comfort Systems providing for the
merger of the Company with the subsidiary of Comfort Systems. On July 2, 1997,
Comfort Systems completed its initial public offering and the merger with the
Company.

Concurrently with the merger, the Company entered into agreements with the
shareholders to lease land and buildings used in the Company's operations for
$204,000 a year for three five-year renewable terms.

In connection with the merger, Comfort Systems assumed all debt of the
Company. Subsequent to the IPO, substantially all of the debt has been repaid.

No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,"
which requires that investments in debt securities and marketable equity
securities be designated as trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. At
December 31, 1996, investments have been categorized as held-to-maturity, are
stated at cost, and are classified in the balance sheet as current assets.
Investments at December 31, 1996 consist of U.S. Treasury Bills.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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.

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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-

completion method measured by the percentage of costs incurred to total
estimated costs for each contract. Provisions for the total estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability
and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and
their effects are recognized in the period in which the revisions are
determined.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Accordingly, in
the event that facts and circumstances indicate that property and equipment may
be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an
evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated
with the asset is compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a
write-down to market value is necessary. Adoption of this standard did not have
a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

S.M. Lawrence Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the "Company") focuses on
providing "design and build" installation services and process piping
primarily for industrial facilities and maintenance, repair and replacement of
commercial and industrial HVAC systems. S.M. Lawrence primarily operates in
Tennessee and the immediately surrounding states.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of
S.M. Lawrence Inc. and Lawrence Services, Inc. which are under common control
and management of two individuals. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in combination.

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

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is computed
using an accelerated method of depreciation. Leasehold improvements are
capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset.

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 statements of operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the
percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognized in the period in
which the revisions are determined.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." Accordingly, in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that
property and equipment, and intangible or other assets may be impaired, an
evaluation of recoverability would be performed. 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 a write-down to market
value is necessary. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

ACCURATE AIR SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

Accurate Air Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation, (the "Company") focuses
on providing "design and build" installation services and maintenance, repair
and replacement of HVAC systems for commercial facilities. Accurate primarily
operates in Texas and Oklahoma.

The Company and its shareholder intend to enter into a definitive agreement
with Comfort Systems USA, Inc. ("Comfort Systems") pursuant to which all
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will be exchanged for cash and
shares of Comfort Systems common stock concurrently with the consummation of the
initial public offering (the "Offering") of the common stock of Comfort
Systems.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END

Effective July 1, 1995, the Company changed its fiscal year end from June
30 to December 31. The statements of operations, shareholder's equity and cash
flows for the six months ended December 31, 1995 are presented in the
accompanying financial statements. The results of operations for the six month
period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year period.

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

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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.

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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the
percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognized in the period in
which the revisions are determined.

F-75

ACCURATE AIR SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company warrants labor for the first year after installation on new air
conditioning and heating systems. The Company generally warrants labor for 90
days after the servicing of existing air conditioning and heating systems. A
reserve for warranty costs is recorded upon completion of installation or
service.

INCOME TAXES

Effective July 1, 1995, the Company elected S Corporation status as defined
by the Internal Revenue Code whereby the Company is not subject to taxation for
federal purposes. Under S Corporation status, each shareholder reports his share
of the Company's taxable earnings or losses in his personal federal and state
tax returns. The balance in the deferred tax liability account at July 1, 1995
was credited to income during the six month period ended December 31, 1995.

Prior to July 1, 1995, the Company followed the liability method of
accounting for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109. Under this method, deferred income taxes were recorded
based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities and were measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that
would have been in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities were
recovered or settled.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

5. SHORT-TERM DEBT:

On October 15, 1996, the Company executed a renewal and extension of its
revolving line of credit with its bank. The new agreement provides for maximum
borrowings of up to $900,000 with interest payable monthly on the amount
outstanding at the rate of prime plus one percent, not to exceed 18 percent. The
agreement provides that the Company may borrow up to 70 percent of its accounts
receivable that are less than sixty days past due. The revolving line of credit
is secured by accounts receivable and the personal guaranty of the sole
shareholder, and requires the Company to maintain certain minimum tangible net
worth and cash flow ratios. Balances outstanding relating to the line are
approximately $374,000, $600,000, and $500,000 as of June 30, 1995, and December
31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants at each applicable year end.

On December 27, 1996, the Company borrowed $630,000 from the Company's
shareholder. Interest is payable monthly at a rate of 9 percent on the
outstanding balance. The note matures on June 30, 1997. The entire balance was

EASTERN HEATING AND COOLING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

Eastern Heating and Cooling, Inc., a New York corporation, (the
"Company") focuses on providing "design and build" installation and
maintenance, repair and replacement of HVAC systems for commercial and
industrial facilities. Eastern also offers continuous monitoring and control
systems for commercial facilities. Eastern primarily operates in the area within
a 75 mile radius of Albany, New York.

The Company and its shareholder intends to enter into a definitive
agreement with Comfort Systems USA, Inc. ("Comfort Systems") pursuant to which
all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will be exchanged for cash
and shares of Comfort Systems common stock concurrently with the consummation of
the initial public offering (the "Offering") of the common stock of Comfort
Systems.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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 stated at the lower of cost or market using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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.

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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the
percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognized in the period in
which the revisions are determined.

The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to retainage
provision 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 will be billed and collected in
the upcoming fiscal year.

WARRANTY COSTS

F-87

EASTERN HEATING AND COOLING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected S Corporation status as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code, whereby the Company is not subject to taxation for federal
purposes. Under S Corporation status, the shareholder reports his share of the
Company's taxable earnings or losses in his personal tax returns. The Company
will terminate its S Corporation status concurrently with the effective date of
this Offering.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Accordingly, in
the event that facts and circumstances indicate that property and equipment, and
intangible or other assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability
would be performed. 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 a write-down to market value is necessary.
Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

Property and equipment consist of the following (dollars in thousands):

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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the
percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the
revisions are determined.

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company warrants labor for the first year after installation of new air
conditioning and heating units. The Company generally warrants labor for 30 days
after the servicing of existing air conditioning and heating units. A reserve
for warranty costs is recorded upon completion of installation or service.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Accordingly, in
the event that facts and circumstances indicate that property and equipment, and
intangible or other assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability
would be performed. 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 a write-down to market value is necessary.
Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Tech

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

Tech Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., an Ohio corporation, and related
company (collectively, the "Company") focuses on providing "design and
build" installation and services, maintenance, repair and replacement of HVAC
systems for commercial and industrial facilities. Tech also offers continuous
monitoring and control services for commercial facilities. The Company's
customers are primarily in the greater Cleveland, Ohio area.

The Company and its shareholders intend to enter into a definitive
agreement with Comfort Systems, USA, Inc. ("Comfort Systems") pursuant to
which all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will be exchanged for
cash and shares of Comfort Systems common stock concurrently with the
consummation of the initial public offering (the "Offering") of the common
stock of Comfort Systems.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The combined financial statements include the accounts and results of
operations of Tech Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., and its related company,
Tech Mechanical which are under common control and management of two
individuals. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in combination.

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

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

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 combined statements of operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the
percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognized in the period in
which the revisions are determined.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company warrants labor for the first year after installation of new air
conditioning and heating systems. The Company generally warrants labor for 30
days after the servicing of existing air conditioning and heating systems. A
reserve for warranty costs is recorded upon completion of installation or

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Accordingly, in
the event that facts and circumstances indicate that property and equipment may
be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. 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 a
write-down to market value is necessary. Adoption of this standard did not have
a material effect on the financial position or combined results of operations of
the Company.

SEASONAIR, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

Seasonair, Inc., a Maryland corporation, (the "Company") focuses on
providing installation services and maintenance, repair and replacement of HVAC
systems for light commercial facilities. Seasonair primarily operates in
Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is computed
using an accelerated 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.

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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenue from construction
contracts is recognized on the completed-contract method. This method is used
because the typical contract is completed within a twelve-month period, and the
Company's current financial position and results of operations do not vary
significantly from those which would result from use of the
percentage-of-completion method. A contract is considered complete when all
costs except insignificant items have been incurred, and the installation is
operating according to specifications or has been accepted by the customer.

Contract costs include all direct equipment, material, labor, and
subcontract costs. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are
made in the period in which such losses are determined.

F-117

SEASONAIR, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

WARRANTY COSTS

INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred income taxes are
recorded based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
that will be in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities are recovered
or settled.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." Accordingly, in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that
property and equipment and intangible or other assets may be impaired, an
evaluation of recoverability would be performed. 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 a write-down to market
value is necessary. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

credit at December 31, 1996.

6. LEASES:

The Company leases facilities from a partnership which is partially owned
by one of the shareholders. The lease expires in October, 2006. The rent paid
under this lease was approximately $62,640 for the year ended December 31, 1996,
and $31,320 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The lease requires the
Company to pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating costs
of the leased property.

The Company leases vehicles for operations. The payments under these
vehicle leases were approximately $189,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

Western Building Services, Inc., a Colorado corporation, (the "Company")
focuses on providing "design and build" installation services and maintenance,
repair and replacement of HVAC systems for commercial facilities. Western also
offers continuous monitoring and control services for commercial facilities. The
Company primarily operates in Colorado.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid debt investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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.

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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work
is being performed under a construction contract. Revenues from construction
contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the
percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the
revisions are determined.

Revenues of approximately $783,000 and $2,291,000 with gross profits of
$339,000 and $874,000 were recognized by the Company in 1995 and 1996,
respectively, for energy conversions and new installations related to an
incentive program developed by the Public Service Company of Colorado (PSC).

F-127

WESTERN BUILDING SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

The Demand Side Management program provided incentives for PSC customers to
convert from electric heat to gas/steam heat in order to reduce peak demand for
electricity. This program ended November 1996.

WARRANTY COSTS

INCOME TAXES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Accordingly, in
the event that facts and circumstances indicate that property and equipment, and
intangible or other assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability
would be performed. 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 a write-down to market value is necessary.
Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
F & G Mechanical Corp. and Affiliate
348 New County Road
Secaucus, New Jersey 07094

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of F & G Mechanical
Corp. and affiliate as of December 31, 1997, and the related combined statements
of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall combined
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of F & G Mechanical
Corp. and affiliate at December 31, 1997, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1, the combined financial statements include the
accounts of F &G Mechanical ("F&G") and Meadowlands Fire Protection Corp.

F & G MECHANICAL CORP. AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

(1) PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

The combined financial statements include the accounts of F&G Mechanical
Corp. and Meadowlands Fire Protection Corp. (collectively the "Company"),
which are affiliated by majority stockholder interests. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

In prior years, separate financial statements were presented for F & G
Mechanical Corp. and Meadowlands Fire Protection Corp. The current combined
financial statement presentation reflects the companies as a single economic
unit.

F&G Mechanical Corp. is engaged in plumbing and HVAC construction
activities primarily in New Jersey and the New York Metropolitan area.
Meadowlands Fire Protection Corp., is engaged in the installation of fire
protection systems for customers located in New Jersey and in the New York
metropolitan area.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(A) REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION:

Revenue is recognized on the "percentage of completion" method for
reporting revenue on contracts not yet completed, measured by the
percentage of total costs incurred to date to estimated total costs
for each contract. This method is utilized because management
considers the cost-to-cost method the best method available to measure
progress on these contracts. Because of the inherent uncertainties in
estimating revenue and costs, it is at least reasonably possible that
the estimates used will change within the near term.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those
other direct and indirect costs related to contract performance
including, but not limited to, indirect labor, subcontract costs and
supplies. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as
incurred.

The Company has contracts that may extend over more than one year,
therefore, revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of
the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts,
which require the revisions, become known.

Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined. Claims on contracts
are not recorded until it is probable that the claim will result in
additional contract revenue and the amounts can be reliably estimated.

Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are recorded as a
current asset under the caption "Costs and estimated earnings in
excess of billings on uncompleted contracts." Billings in excess of
revenues recognized are recorded as a current liability under the
caption "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts."

In accordance with construction industry practice, the Company reports
in current assets and liabilities those amounts relating to
construction contracts realizable and payable over a period in excess
of one year.

(B) CASH EQUIVALENTS:

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original
maturities of less than three months to be cash equivalents. At
December 31, 1997, cash equivalents consist of investments in money
market funds.

F-136

F & G MECHANICAL CORP. AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Investments, consisting of U.S. Treasury Notes, corporate bonds and
notes, mutual funds and common stock are classified as
"available-for-sale" securities and are stated at fair value.
Realized gains and losses, determined using the specific
identification cost method, are included in earnings. Unrealized
holding gains and losses are reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.

(D) DEFERRED CONTRACT REVENUE AND COSTS:

The Company's policy is to defer all revenue and costs associated with
individual contracts prior to the mobilization of the project.

(E) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over
the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line
method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the
related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period incurred.

(F) WARRANTY COSTS:

The Company typically warrants labor for the first year after
installation on new air conditioning and heating systems. The Company
generally warrants labor for 30 days after servicing of existing air
conditioning and heating systems. A reserve for warranty costs is
recorded upon completion of installation or service.

(G) USE OF ESTIMATES:

The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

(3) MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

Cost and fair value of marketable securities at December 31, 1997 are as
follows:

GROSS GROSS

for aggregate borrowings of up to $4,750,000, with interest at the bank's prime
rate plus 1%. Borrowings were guaranteed by the Company's stockholders. The
Company had outstanding borrowings under the line of credit totaling $1,800,000
at December 31, 1997.

The Company also had term notes payable which were collateralized by
equipment. The notes were payable in aggregate monthly installments of $7,998
with interest at 8%. The outstanding balance of the notes payable was $145,510
at December 31, 1997.

The outstanding balances were repaid in February 1998 concurrent with the
subsequent merger of the Company, and the facility was terminated (see Note 18).

Total combined stockholders'
equity......................... $ 12,830,150
==============

(9) CONCENTRATION RISKS:

(A) Credit risk:

Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents and trade accounts and retainage receivables.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in accounts which
exceed Federally insured limits. The Company limits its credit risk by
selecting financial institutions considered to be highly creditworthy.

Trade accounts and retainage receivables are due from customers
located primarily in New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area.
The Company does not require collateral in most cases, but may file
statutory liens against the construction projects if a default in
payment occurs.

(B) Direct labor:

The Company's direct labor is supplied primarily by two unions which
have collective bargaining agreements expiring in April 1999. Although
the Company's past experience was favorable with respect to resolving
conflicting demands with these unions, it is always possible that a
protracted conflict may occur which could impact the renewal of the
collective bargaining agreements.

(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

(A) Loans receivable -- officers:

The Company has loans receivable from officers totaling $1,554,123 at
December 31, 1997. The loans are noninterest bearing. In January 1998,
$950,000 was repaid.

The Company has loans receivable from an entity related through common
management control totalling $1,009,518 at December 31, 1997. The
loans are noninterest bearing. Subsequent to December 31, 1997 this
entity was purchased by Meadowlands Fire Protection Corp. (see Note
10D).

In addition, the Company has notes receivable totaling $5,834,450,
from an entity in which the stockholders of the Company have an
ownership interest. At December 31, 1997, $56,445 of the

F-139

F & G MECHANICAL CORP. AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

loans were classified as current assets. One note amounting to
$3,960,000 bears interest at 8.5% per annum. The balance of $1,818,005
is noninterest bearing. In conjunction with the terms of the
subsequent merger of the Company, the notes, plus accrued interest,
are due February 2001.

The Company has loans payable to entities related through common ownership
totalling $133,595. The loans are noninterest bearing.

(D) PAYROLL:

The Company used an entity affiliated through common management control as
a common paymaster to process certain payrolls. The Company reimbursed the
affiliate at cost with no mark-up. Reimbursements amounted to $3,373,308 for the
year ended December 31, 1997.

In February 1998, the Company acquired the affiliate for a purchase price
of $25,000.

(E) OPERATING FACILITIES:

The Company leases administrative, warehouse and yard space from an entity
affiliated by common ownership through a noncancelable net operating lease
expiring May 2004. Rent expense including utilities, maintenance and real estate
taxes for this lease totaled $485,375 for the year ended December 31, 1997. At
December 31, 1997, the future minimum rental payments to be made under the
noncancellable operating lease are as follows:

YEAR ENDING
DECEMBER 31, AMOUNT
- ------------------------------------- ------------
1998................................. $ 338,616
1999................................. 355,890
2000................................. 355,890
2001................................. 355,890
2002................................. 355,890
Thereafter........................... 504,178
------------
$ 2,266,354
============

On March 16, 1998 the Company increased the amount of space occupied. The
monthly rent increased by approximately $7,000 per month, plus real estate
taxes.

The Company also leases warehouse space from a related entity on a month to
month basis. Rent expense for this lease was $18,000 for the year ended December
31, 1997.

(11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

(A) PERFORMANCE BONDS:

The Company is contingently liable to a surety under a general indemnity
agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify the surety for any payments made on
contracts of suretyship, guaranty or indemnity. The Company believes that all
contingent liabilities will be satisfied by its performance on the specific
bonded contracts involved.

(B) CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS:

F-140

F & G MECHANICAL CORP. AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(12) INCOME TAXES:

Both F&G Mechanical Corp. and Meadowlands Fire Protection Corp. have
elected and the stockholders have consented, under the applicable provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code, New Jersey, and New York State Franchise Tax Codes to
have the Company report its income for Federal Corporation, New Jersey
Corporation, and New York State Franchise tax purposes as an "S" corporation.
The stockholders report the net taxable income or loss of the Company in their
personal income tax returns. Therefore, no provision is made in the accompanying
combined financial statements for Federal Corporation, New Jersey Corporation,
and New York State Franchise taxes except for the New Jersey and New York State
tax on "S" corporations, when applicable.

In accordance with the subsequent merger of the Company, the "S"
Corporation elections were terminated and the Company will be subject to
corporate income taxes subsequent to the merger date (see Note 18).

(13) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN:

The Company has a profit-sharing plan that covers substantially all
nonunion employees meeting the age and length of service requirements of the
plan. Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors and are based on a percentage of the participants' compensation.
Profit-sharing expense was $161,860 for the year ended December 31, 1997. In
conjunction with the terms of the subsequent merger of the Company, the
profit-sharing plan was terminated February 9, 1998 (see Note 18).

(14) MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS:

The Company made contributions to multiemployer pension plans that cover
its various union employees. These plans provide benefits based on union
members' earnings and periods of coverage under the respective plans. It is not
cost-effective to accumulate information regarding the pension expense under
these plans. In the event of plan terminations or company withdrawal from the
plans, the Company may be liable for a portion of the plans' unfunded vested
benefits, the amounts of which, if any, have not been determined.

(15) MAJOR CUSTOMERS:

The Company earned approximately 15% and 10%, respectively, from two major
customers during the year ended December 31, 1997.

(16) BACKLOG:

Backlog represents the amount of revenue the Company expects to realize
from work to be performed on uncompleted contracts in progress at year end and
from contractual agreements on which work has not commenced. Backlog consists of
the following:

Estimated revenue to be recognized
from:
Uncompleted contracts in
progress....................... $ 18,896,494
Contracts on which work has not
commenced...................... 11,589,000
--------------
Total...................... $ 30,485,494
==============

(17) CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE:

Retained earnings at January 1, 1997 were restated to account for a change
in accounting principle due to a business combination. The change in accounting
principle is related to accounting for warranty costs which management believes
results in a closer matching of costs and revenues. The cummulative effect of
this change on prior years' retained earnings was $296,418.

F-141

F & G MECHANICAL CORP. AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(18) SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On February 12, 1998, F&G Mechanical Corp merged with Comfort Systems and
Meadowlands Fire Protection Corp. merged with INRI Acquisition Corp., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Comfort Systems.

In conjunction with the merger, the outstanding balances of notes
payable -- bank were paid in full, the profit-sharing plan was terminated, and
the stockholders of F&G Mechanical Corp. entered into 5 year employment
agreements with Comfort Systems. In addition, the Company distributed
$11,800,000 to the stockholders at the closing.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws
incorporate substantially the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law
("DGCL") providing for indemnification of directors and officers of the
Company against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer or director of the
Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

As permitted by Section 102 of the DGCL, the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, contains provisions eliminating a director's personal
liability for monetary damages to the Company and its stockholders arising from
a breach of a director's fiduciary duty except for liability (a) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (d) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides generally that a person sued as a
director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation may be indemnified by the
corporation for reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, if in the case
of other than derivative suits such person has acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation (and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful). In the
case of a derivative suit, an officer, employee or agent of the corporation
which is not protected by the Certificate of Incorporation may be indemnified by
the corporation for reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, if such
person has acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made in the case of a derivative suit in respect of any
claim as to which an officer, employee or agent has been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation unless that person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for proper expenses. Indemnification is mandatory in the case of a
director, officer, employee, or agent who is successful on the merits in defense
of a suit against such person.

The Company has entered into Indemnity Agreements with its directors and
certain key officers pursuant to which the Company generally is obligated to
indemnify its directors and such officers to the full extent permitted by the
DGCL as described above.

II-1

The Company has purchased liability insurance policies covering directors
and officers in certain circumstances.

(b) FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

All schedules for which provision is made in the applicable accounting
regulation of the SEC are not required under the related instructions, are
inapplicable, or the information is included in the consolidated financial
statements, and therefore have been omitted.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14, or otherwise,
the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b), if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table
in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
