NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL

Industrial Services of America, Inc. (herein “ISA,” the “Company,” or other similar terms) is a Louisville, Kentucky-based company that buys, processes and markets ferrous and non-ferrous metals and other recyclable commodities and buys used autos in order to sell used auto parts. The Company purchases, processes and sells ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal to steel mini-mills, integrated steel makers, foundries, refineries and processors. The Company purchases ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal primarily from industrial and commercial generators of steel, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel and other metals as well as from scrap dealers and retail customers who deliver these materials directly to ISA facilities. The Company processes scrap metal through sorting, cutting, baling, and shredding operations. The shredding operations were restarted in May 2017, which had previously been idled in May 2015. The Company operates the auto shredder in the normal course of business subject to market conditions and operating needs. The non-ferrous scrap recycling operations consist primarily of collecting, sorting and processing various grades of copper, aluminum, stainless steel and brass. The used automobile yard primarily purchases automobiles so that retail customers can locate and remove used parts for purchase.

The Company's core business is focused on the metal recycling industry. The Company is focused on returning the core recycling business to profitability. The Company intends to do this by increasing efficiencies and productivity, which included the commercial restart of its auto shredder in the second quarter of 2017 . ISA will also evaluate other various options and remain alert for possible strategic partnerships, joint ventures and mergers/acquisitions.

On March 26, 2018, the Board appointed Todd L. Phillips as Chief Executive Officer. See Note 7 – Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Agreements . Mr. Phillips has been the Company's Chief Financial Officer since December 31, 2014 and President since September 30, 2016 and will continue to serve in these roles.

Liquidity

During the first quarter of 2017 , the Company amended and extended its working capital line of credit which extended the contractual maturity date to February 28, 2020 and increased the borrowing availability. On June 4, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to further increase the borrowing availability of its working capital line of credit. See Note 3 – Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable to Bank for discussion of loan arrangements with MidCap Business Credit LLC ("MidCap"). The Company expects operating cash flow and borrowings under its working capital line of credit to be sufficient to meet its ongoing obligations.

The borrowings under the working capital line of credit are classified as short-term obligations under GAAP as the agreement with the lender contains a subjective acceleration clause and requires the Company to maintain a lockbox arrangement with the lender. However, the contractual maturity date of the revolver is February 28, 2020.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as produced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") is the sole source of authoritative GAAP. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2018 , and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . Results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Additional information, including the audited December 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements and the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, management must make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as affecting the disclosures provided. Examples of estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, estimates of property tax assessments, estimates of accrued payables, estimates of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, estimates of inventory balances, and estimates of stock option and warrant values. The Company also uses estimates when assessing fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in business acquisitions as well as any fair value and any related impairment charges related to the carrying value of inventory and machinery and equipment and other long-lived assets. Despite the Company’s intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL, Continued

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Upon consolidation, all inter-company accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue is primarily generated from contracts with customers. The Company notes there have been no credit losses recorded on any receivables or contract assets arising from contracts with customers for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . The Company elects to use the practical expedient as it relates to significant financing components as the Company expects, at the contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good and when the customer pays for that good will be one year or less.

F errous and nonferrous revenue

Ferrous and non-ferrous contracts contain one performance obligation which consists of the shipment of a stated quantity of a stated product to be delivered within a stated time frame. Ferrous and non-ferrous revenue contracts are primarily short term contracts, typically completed within 30 days. Ferrous and non-ferrous transaction prices are stated in the contract with no variable considerations present. As ferrous and non-ferrous contracts contain one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to the shipment of materials. When multiple loads are included in one contract, the stated price per gross ton is applied to the shipment weight in order to determine transaction price. Ferrous and non-ferrous revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies the shipment of materials per the contract. The shipment and delivery of material typically occurs on the same day. No contract assets or contract liabilities were recognized as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 .

Revenue from auto parts operations and other revenue

Revenue from auto parts primarily consists of individual transactions by customers who enter the Company’s premises and purchase auto parts by cash or credit card. Related to these sales, a customer may be charged a core charge. The customer has 30 days to return the core and receive a refund of the core charge. Additionally, customers have the option to separately purchase a warranty related to certain goods purchased. Total core charges and warranty sales are immaterial, in aggregate accounting for less than 1 % of revenue from auto parts operations and other revenue . Sale prices, core charges and warranties are tracked separately and recognized as revenue when the purchase is completed. No contract assets or contract liabilities were recognized as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 .

Fair Value

The Company carries certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. These financial assets and liabilities are composed of cash and cash equivalents. Long-term debt is carried at cost, and the fair value is disclosed herein. In addition, the Company measures certain assets, such as long-lived assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis to evaluate those assets for potential impairment. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities into the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities with values based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. Examples of Level 1 financial instruments include active exchange-traded securities.

Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities with values based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Examples of Level 2 financial instruments include various types of interest-rate and commodity-based derivative instruments, and various types of fixed-income investment securities. Pricing models are utilized to estimate fair value for certain financial assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 .

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL, Continued

Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities with values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable in the market and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are based on the best available information, some of which is internally developed.

When determining the fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, ISA looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. Nevertheless, certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets, and the Company uses alternative valuation techniques to derive fair value measurements.

The Company uses the fair value methodology outlined in the related accounting standards to value the assets and liabilities for cash and debt. All of our cash is defined as Level 1 and all our debt is defined as Level 2 .

In accordance with this guidance, the following table represents our fair value hierarchy for Level 1 and Level 2 financial instruments at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 ( in thousands ):


	Fair Value at Reporting Date Using
September 30, 2018 : unaudited	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs

Current maturities of long-term debt	$	—	$	(5,018	)	$	(5,018	)
Long-term debt, related parties		—		(1,331	)		(1,331	)

The Company had no transfers in or out of Levels 1 or 2 fair value measurements, and no activity in Level 3 fair value measurements for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 or 2017 .

Common Stock and Share-based Compensation Arrangements

The Company has a Long Term Incentive Plan adopted in 2009 ("LTIP") under which it may grant equity awards for up to 2.4 million shares of common stock, which are reserved by the Board of Directors for issuance of equity awards. The Company provides compensation benefits by granting stock options and other share-based awards to employees and directors. The exercise price of each option is equal to the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of the option is five years. The plan is accounted for based on FASB’s authoritative guidance titled "ASC 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation. " The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for the fair value of the awards, on the date granted, on a straight-line basis over their vesting term (service period). Compensation expense is recognized only for share-based payments expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures at the date of grant based on the Company's historical experience and future expectations.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL, Continued

The Company uses the grant date stock price to value the Company's restricted stock units. The fair value of each restricted stock unit is estimated on the date of grant.

The Company uses the Modified Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to value the Company's stock options for each employee stock option award. See Note 7 – Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Agreements . Using these option pricing models, the fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant.

There are two significant inputs into the stock option pricing models: expected volatility and expected term. The Company estimates expected volatility based on traded option volatility of the Company's stock over a term equal to the expected term of the option granted. The expected term of stock option awards granted is derived from historical exercise experience under the Company's stock option plans and represents the period of time that stock option awards granted are expected to be outstanding.

The expected term assumption incorporates the contractual term of an option grant, as well as the vesting period of an award. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury constant maturity with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option granted. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent management's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and different assumptions are used, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate, and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what was recorded in the current period.

Treasury shares or new shares are issued for exercised options. The Company does not expect to repurchase any additional shares within the following annual period to accommodate the exercise of outstanding stock options.

Under the LTIP, the Company may grant any of these types of awards: non-qualified and incentive stock options; stock appreciation rights; and other stock awards including stock units, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and restricted stock. The performance goals that the Company may use for such awards will be based on any one or more of the following performance measures: cash flow; earnings; earnings per share; market value added or economic value added; profits; return on assets; return on equity; return on investment; revenues; stock price; or total shareholder return.

The LTIP is administered by a committee selected by the Board consisting of two or more outside members of the Board. The Committee may grant one or more awards to our employees, including our officers, our directors and consultants, and will determine the specific employees who will receive awards under the plan and the type and amount of any such awards. A participant who receives shares of stock awarded under the plan must hold those shares for six months before the participant may dispose of such shares.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL, Continued

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014 - 09 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ) . The amendments in ASU 2014 - 09 affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards ( e.g. , insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014 - 09 using the retrospective approach. The Company noted no financial impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the adoption of this amended guidance. In addition, the adoption of this new accounting standard resulted in increased disclosure, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. See the Revenue Recognition section of Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and General for additional information .

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015 - 17 , Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2015 - 17 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Upon adoption, ASU 2015 -17 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2017 and noted no material impact from the adoption on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 - 02 , Leases , to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This ASU will require organizations that lease assets (“lessees”) to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of more than twelve months. A lease liability is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. This ASU leaves the accounting for the organizations that own the leased assets largely unchanged except for targeted improvements to align it with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers .

The amendments in ASU 2016 - 02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016 - 02 on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of January 1, 2019, the Company expects to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability of approximately $ 7.0 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet . The Company does not expect the changes to have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Upon adoption, the Company expects that its financial statement disclosures will be expanded to present additional details of its leasing arrangements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 13 , Financial Instruments - Credit Losses , which provides guidance to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. ASU 2016 - 13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016 - 13 on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 15 , Statement of Cash Flows, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016 - 15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Upon adoption, ASU 2016 - 15 should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2018 and noted no material impact from the adoption of ASU 2016 - 15 on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the reporting period had, or is expected to have, a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 – INVENTORIES

The Company's inventories primarily consist of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals, and are valued at the lower of average purchased cost or net realizable value ("NRV") based on the specific scrap commodity. Quantities of inventories are determined based on the Company's inventory systems and are subject to periodic physical verification using estimation techniques including observation, weighing and other industry methods. The Company recognizes inventory impairment and related adjustments when the NRV, based upon current market pricing, falls below recorded value or when the estimated volume is less than the recorded volume of the inventory. The Company records the loss in cost of sales in the period during which the loss is identified.

Certain assumptions are made regarding future demand and net realizable value in order to assess whether inventory is properly recorded at the lower of cost or NRV. Assumptions are based on historical experience, current market conditions and remaining costs of processing (if any) and disposal. If the anticipated future selling prices of scrap metal and finished steel products should decline, the Company would re-assess the recorded NRV of the inventory and make any adjustments believed necessary in order to reduce the value of the inventory (and increase cost of sales) to the lower of cost or NRV.

The Company did not have a lower of cost or NRV inventory write-down in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 .

Some commodities are in saleable condition at acquisition. The Company purchases these commodities in small amounts until it has a truckload of material available for shipment. Some commodities are not in saleable condition at acquisition. These commodities must be sorted, shredded, cut or baled. ISA does not have work-in-process inventory that needs to be manufactured to become finished goods. The Company includes processing costs in inventory for all commodities by weight.

I n ventorie s for ferrous and non-ferrous materials as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consist of the following:

NOTE 3 – LONG-TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE TO BANK

Summary:

O n February 29, 2016, the Company closed on new financings with MidCap and paid off all remaining amounts due to the Company's previous lender Wells Fargo. Additionally, on February 29, 2016, the Company converted certain amounts payable to related parties into unsecured term notes payable to the same related parties as more fully described in Note 6 – Related Party Transactions . On March 31, 2017 , the Company entered into an amendment to increase the line of credit, subject to the satisfaction of certain borrowing base restrictions (which have been satisfied), and extend the maturity date more fully described below. On June 23, 2017, in connection with the purchase of equipment to be used in the operation of the Company's business, the Company issued notes totaling $129.0 thousand principal amount due to a related party. See Note 6 – Related Party Transactions .

MidCap:

On February 29, 2016, the Company entered into the 2016 Loan, which, as initially entered into, provided a $6.0 million senior, secured asset-based line of credit with MidCap. The Company could borrow up to the sum of (a) 85% of the value of its eligible domestic accounts receivable; (b) the lesser of (i) $2.5 million and (ii) 75% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory; and (c) the lesser of (i) $500,000 and (ii) 40% of appraised net forced liquidation value of eligible fixed assets (the "Equipment Sublimit"). The Equipment Sublimit amortizes monthly on a straight line basis over six ty (60) months with no reduction to the overall line of credit availability. As described below, the 2016 Loan was amended on March 31, 2017 and June 4, 2018.

Proceeds from this loan were used to pay transaction expenses, pay off and close the remaining balance on the Wells Fargo revolving line of credit and fund working capital requirements.

The interest rate on the 2016 Loan is equal to the prime rate (5.25% as of September 30, 2018) plus 250 basis points (2.50%). In the Event of a Default (as defined in the 2016 Loan Agreement), the interest rate will increase by 300 basis points (3.00%). The 2016 Loan also has a monthly collateral-monitoring fee equal to 27.5 basis points (0.275%) of the average daily balance outstanding, an annual facility fee of 100 basis points (1.00%) and an unused line fee equal to an annual rate of 50 basis points (0.50%) of the average undrawn portion of the 2016 Loan.

The 2016 Loan has a maturity date of February 28, 2020 based on the amendment described below. The borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are classified as short-term obligations under GAAP as the agreement with MidCap contains a subjective acceleration clause and requires the Company to maintain a lockbox arrangement with the lender.

The Company was subject to a prepayment fee of $120.0 thousand if the 2016 Loan was terminated or prepaid prior to the one year anniversary of the loan. The Company is subject to a prepayment fee of $60.0 thousand if the 2016 Loan is terminated or prepaid subsequent to the one year anniversary of the loan, but prior to the maturity date. After 18 months subsequent to the loan origination date, no termination fee shall be owed by the Company in the event the Company pays the obligation with initial proceeds of loans made under a loan facility provided to the Company by a financial institution insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Interest and monthly fees under the 2016 Loan are payable monthly in arrears.

The 2016 Loan Agreement contains a minimum line availability covenant equal to $350.0 thousand. This covenant may be replaced by a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ("FCCR") covenant once the Company has achieved a FCCR of 1.0 x on an annualized basis.

The Company granted MidCap a first priority security interest in all of the assets of ISA pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement.

The Company is allowed to sell or refinance up to $3.0 million in fair market value of real property provided (i) the proceeds from such refinance or sale remain with the Company; and (ii) no event of default exists at the time of such refinance or sale.

On March 31, 2017 , the Company and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the 2016 Loan with MidCap ("First Amendment"). The First Amendment increased the line of credit from $6.0 million to $8.0 million and extended the maturity date to February 28, 2020. As amended, the line of credit permits the Company to borrow an amount under the 2016 Loan equal to the lesser of (A) $8.0 million; and (B)(i) 85% of the value of the Company’s eligible domestic accounts receivable, plus (ii) the lesser of (x) $2.5 million and (y) 75% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus (iii) the lesser of (x) $400,000 and (y) 40% of appraised net forced liquidation value of eligible fixed assets, plus (iv) the lesser of (x) $1.75 million and (y) 45% of the appraised value of certain properties owned by the Company (subject to MidCap's receipt of any third-party or internal approvals it may require in its discretion), minus (v) any amount which MidCap may require from time to time, pursuant to terms of the agreement, in order to secure amounts owed to MidCap under the agreement. The First Amendment contains a minimum line availability covenant equal to $350.0 thousand, the same as the original 2016 Loan. This covenant may be replaced by a FCCR covenant once the Company has achieved an FCCR of 1.1x on an annualized basis. The Company paid underwriting fees of $20.0 thousand at closing.

NOTE 3 – LONG-TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE TO BANK, Continued

On April 26, 2017, certain borrowing base restrictions were satisfied with MidCap which resulted in an increase in availability of $1.75 million.

On June 4, 2018, the Company and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the 2016 Loan with MidCap ("Second Amendment"). The Second Amendment, among other things, increased the Company’s line of credit from $8.0 million to $10.0 million. The Company also entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Note to evidence amounts borrowed from MidCap under the 2016 Loan. The Company paid fees of $15.0 thousand at closing.

In June 2018, the Company achieved an FCCR greater than 1.1x on an annual basis. Beginning July 1, 2018 the minimum line covenant equal to $350.0 thousand was replaced by an FCCR covenant with a result of an increase in availability of $350.0 thousand.

The amended 2016 Loan had availability of $3.0 million as of September 30, 2018 .

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Company was involved in various transactions with related parties. A summary of transactions and related balances are as follows. The table at the end of this note should be used in referencing all below paragraphs.

K&R, LLC ("K&R") and 7100 Grade Lane, LLC (" 7100 LLC"):

The Company is involved in various transactions with K&R and 7100 LLC, which are wholly-owned by Kletter Holdings LLC, the sole member of which was Harry Kletter, the Company's founder and former Chief Executive Officer. After Mr. Kletter's passing in January 2014, Orson Oliver assumed the roles of executor of Mr. Kletter’s estate and President of Kletter Holdings LLC. Mr. Oliver was the Company's Chairman of the Board and interim Chief Executive Officer from 2014 until his resignation on March 26, 2018. Mr. Oliver continues to be a member of the Company's Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2018 , Mr. Kletter’s estate, K&R and the Harry Kletter Family Limited Partnership, collectively, beneficially own in excess of 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares.

The Company leased a portion of the Louisville, Kentucky facility from 7100 LLC (previously from K&R) under an operating lease, the " 7100 Prior Lease," expiring December 2017. Effective October 1, 2017, the Company entered into a new lease agreement with 7100 LLC for the same property (the " 7100 Lease") that terminates and replaces the 7100 Prior Lease. See Note 4 – Lease Commitments for additional information relating to the rent and lease agreements with K&R.

During 2015 and continuing into 2017 , the Company deferred a portion of these lease payments. A portion of this deferral was converted into a term note during 2016 as described below. The remaining portion of this deferral was converted into a promissory note effective October 1, 2017 as described below.

On September 13, 2013, K&R made a $500.0 thousand refundable, non-interest bearing deposit with the Company related to K&R's potential purchase of the Company's formerly owned real property located at 1565 East 4 th Street in Seymour, Indiana. The Company was permitted and used the deposited funds for general corporate purposes. K&R did not acquire the property. Under the Company's lending arrangements, a refund of the deposit to K&R would have to be approved by the Company's lenders. This amount was converted into a term note during 2016 as described below.

As of September 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had balances related to K&R and 7100 LLC pertaining to refundable lease and property deposits due to and from the Company, rents payable from the Company, notes payable due from the Company, accrued interest due from the Company, interest expense, and rent expense.

On February 29, 2016, K&R assigned its interest in the 7100 Lease to another entity, 7100 LLC, also controlled by Mr. Kletter’s estate. At that time, the total amount due to the estate’s various entities, which amounted to approximately $1.5 million and is inclusive of the $500.0 thousand noted above, became a subordinated, unsecured debt (the "Kletter Notes") owed by the Company. A portion of the amount, approximately $620.3 thousand, is owed to K&R, with the remaining amount, approximating $883.8 thousand, owed to 7100 LLC. Interest will accrue monthly at a per annum rate of 5.0%. Interest accrued until April 30, 2017, at which time interest is paid as due.

NOTE 8 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has litigation from time to time, including employment-related claims, none of which the Company currently believes to be material.

Our operations are subject to various environmental statutes and regulations, including laws and regulations addressing materials used in the processing of our products. In addition, certain of our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the air and water and establish standards for the treatment, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. Failure to maintain or achieve compliance with these laws and regulations or with the permits required for our operations could result in substantial operating costs and capital expenditures, in addition to fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third party claims for property damage or personal injury, cleanup costs or temporary or permanent discontinuance of operations. Certain of the Company's facilities have been in operation for many years and, over time, the Company and other predecessor operators of these facilities have generated, used, handled and disposed of hazardous and other regulated wastes. Environmental liabilities in material amounts could exist, including cleanup obligations at these facilities or at off-site locations where the Company disposed of materials from its operations, which could result in future expenditures that the Company cannot currently estimate and which could reduce its profits. The Company records liabilities for remediation and restoration costs related to past activities when its obligation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable. Costs of ongoing compliance activities related to current operations are expensed as incurred. Such compliance has not historically constituted a material expense to the Company.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to RCP a five year warrant to purchase 857,143 additional shares of the Company's common stock, exercisable 6 months after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement for an exercise price of $5.00 per share and expiring June 13, 2019. The net proceeds were allocated between common stock and warrants based on the relative fair value of the common stock and the warrants. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides RCP with preemptive rights and a right of first refusal with respect to future securities offerings by the Company. The Company used the proceeds from the Securities Purchase Agreement for general corporate purposes including debt reduction, growth initiatives, capital expenditures, and review of potential acquisitions.

On June 13, 2014, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investor entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), under which the Company (a) prepared and filed a registration statement no later than December 12, 2014 and (b) caused the registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than February 1, 2015 for (i) agreed to resales of the common stock issued to the Investor under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (ii) agreed to resales of any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant.

The Registration Rights Agreement requires the Company to pay the Investor a loss of liquidity fee for certain periods after February 1, 2015 when the registration statement is not effective or its use is suspended. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and customary provisions regarding rights of indemnification between the parties with respect to certain applicable securities law liabilities.

Director Designation Agreement

On June 13, 2014, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and RCP entered into a Director Designation Agreement (the "Director Designation Agreement") pursuant to which RCP will have the right to designate, and require the Company's Board to appoint, up to two directors (each, a " Designated Director ").

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis contains certain financial predictions, forecasts and projections which constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Actual results could differ materially from those financial predictions, forecasts and projections and there can be no assurance that we will achieve such financial predictions, forecasts and projections. Factors that could affect financial predictions, forecasts and projections include availability of liquidity, fluctuations in commodity prices and any conditions internal to our major customers, including loss of their accounts and other factors as listed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General

Industrial Services of America, Inc. (herein “ISA,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or other similar terms) is a Louisville, Kentucky-based company that buys, processes and markets ferrous and non-ferrous metals and other recyclable commodities and buys used autos in order to sell used auto parts. We purchase, process and sell ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal to steel mini-mills, integrated steel makers, foundries, refineries and processors. We purchase ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal primarily from industrial and commercial generators of steel, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel and other metals as well as from scrap dealers and retail customers who deliver these materials directly to our facilities. We process scrap metal through our sorting, cutting, baling, and shredding operations. The shredding operations, which had previously been idled in May 2015, were restarted in May 2017. We operate the auto shredder in the normal course of business subject to market conditions and operating needs. Our non-ferrous scrap recycling operations consist primarily of collecting, sorting and processing various grades of copper, aluminum, stainless steel and brass. Our used automobile yard primarily purchases automobiles so that retail customers can locate and remove used parts for purchase.

Our core business is focused on the metal recycling industry. We are focused on returning our core recycling business to profitability. We intend to do this by increasing efficiencies and productivity, which included the commercial restart of our auto shredder in the second quarter of 2017. We will also evaluate other various options and remain alert for possible strategic partnerships, joint ventures and mergers/acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows generated from operations and our revolving credit facility are significant sources of ongoing liquidity. We have also been able to manage liquidity by deferring certain rent payments made to related parties through October 1, 2017, as well as deferring capital expenditures during 2017 . See Note 6 – Related Party Transactions in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. We actively manage our working capital and associated cash requirements and continually seek more effective use of cash. As of September 30, 2018 , we held cash and cash equivalents of $ 0.7 million. We drew a net $ 1.1 million on our revolving credit facility during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 . We expect operating cash flow and borrowings under our working capital line of credit to be sufficient to meet our ongoing obligations.

Credit facilities and notes payable

See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and General , Note 3 – Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable to Bank and Note 4 – Lease Commitments in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on debt and notes payable, capital and operating leases and related party obligations.

The borrowings under the line of credit are classified as short-term obligations under GAAP as the agreement with the lender contains a subjective acceleration clause and requires the Company to maintain a lockbox arrangement with the lender. However, the contractual maturity date of the line of credit is February 28, 2020.

Results of Operations

Nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2017

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the percentage relationship that certain captioned items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations bear to total revenue:

	Nine months ended
	September 30 ,
	2018		2017
Statements of Operations Data:
Total revenue	100.0	%	100.0	%
Total cost of sales	92.9	%	93.8	%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	5.6	%	6.6	%
Income (loss) before other expenses	1.4	%	( 0.5	)%

Our results were negatively impacted during the third quarter of 2018 by recent global political events, such as tariffs, trade wars and other global economic events. Ferrous market prices and volumes were negatively impacted by economic stress in Turkey, one of the largest importers of United States ferrous scrap metal. Pricing and volumes were further challenged by uncertainty created by tariffs and threatened trade wars. Non-ferrous market prices and volumes were similarly impacted by tariffs and threatened trade wars, as well as certain restrictions placed by China on imported metals. Although results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 were favorable compared to the same period in 2017, the previously discussed events had a negative impact on reported results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.

Total revenue increased $ 6.6 million or 15.9% to $ 48.1 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $ 41.5 million in the same period in 2017 .

Ferrous revenue increased $ 6.3 million or 38.4% to $ 22.8 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $ 16.5 million in the same period in 2017 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the average selling price ("ASP") of ferrous material increased $ 88 per gross ton, or 30% , partially as a result of the shredder restart that led to a favorable shift in the ferrous sales mix and partially due to market improvements during the first six months of 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2017 , ferrous material shipments increased 1.5 thousand tons, or 3% , despite the negative impact from the shredder restart. The inherent nature of the shredding process produces less saleable product volume but at a higher quality level, thereby increasing the ASP and decreasing the tons of material available to ship. Ferrous revenue includes non-commodity revenue such as service fees, transportation and returns and allowances; the ASP calculation excludes these non-commodity revenues.

Non-ferrous revenue increased $ 0.5 million or 2.2% to $ 24.4 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $ 23.9 million in the same period in 2017 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the ASP of non-ferrous material increased $ 0.09 per pound, or 9% , and non-ferrous material shipments decreased by 1.0 million pounds, or 4% . Non-ferrous revenue includes non-commodity revenue such as service fees, transportation and returns and allowances; the ASP calculation excludes these non-commodity revenues.

Total cost of sales increased $ 5.7 million or 14.7% to $ 44.7 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $ 38.9 million for the same period in 2017 . The increase was a result of an increase in ferrous material tons shipped and higher average prices on a per-unit basis in our ferrous and non-ferrous operations, offset slightly by a decrease in non-ferrous material shipments.

Total cost of sales as a percent of revenue decreased during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 . This improvement was a result of generally increasing ASP during 2018 as well as favorable sales mix that resulted from the startup of the shredder. This was partially offset by startup expenses the Company incurred due to the restart of the shredder operations in May 2017. These startup expenses consisted primarily of repairs and maintenance expenses, utilities expenses and personnel expenses.

SG&A expenses decreased $ 0.1 million to $ 2.7 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $ 2.8 million in the same period in 2017 . SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to decreases in labor expense of $62.0 thousand, property tax expense of $54.7 thousand, landfill expense of $38.9 thousand, share based compensation expense of $23.0 thousand, and depreciation expense of $22.0 thousand, offset by increases in insurance expense of $78.0 thousand and legal expense of $46.6 thousand. The Company is currently under a property tax audit and has accrued an estimate of potential assessments.

Other income (expense) was expense of $ 315.0 thousand for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to expense of $ 611.0 thousand for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 . This $ 296.0 thousand change is a result of (i) a $ 192.0 thousand increase in interest expense, which is a result of the increased outstanding balance on the line of credit, (ii) a decrease in gain on sale of assets of $ 28.0 thousand and (iii) an increase in gain on insurance proceeds of $ 487.0 thousand related to an insurance claim filed on six roofs on certain of our buildings.

The income tax provision increased $ 4.0 thousand to $ 13.0 thousand in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $ 9.0 thousand in the same period in 2017 . The effective tax rates in 2018 and 2017 were 3.5 % and ( 1.1 )%, respectively, based on federal and state statutory rates. Due to recurring operating losses being incurred, at December 31, 2013, we recorded nearly a full valuation allowance, which is continuing through September 30, 2018 . We also have several state and franchise taxes payable based on gross receipts.

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 was $ 356.0 thousand compared to a net loss of $ 825.0 thousand for the same period of 2017 . This was an increase of $ 1.2 million, or 143.2% .

Three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to three months ended September 30, 2017

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the percentage relationship that certain captioned items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations bear to total revenue:


	Three months ended
	September 30 ,
	2018		2017
Statements of Operations Data:
Total revenue	100.0	%	100.0	%
Total cost of sales	95.9	%	93.7	%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	5.3	%	5.8	%
(Loss) income before other expenses	( 1.2	)%	0.6	%

Total revenue increased $ 1.9 million or 12.7% to $ 16.8 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $ 14.9 million in the same period in 2017 .

Ferrous revenue increased $ 1.1 million or 16.4% to $ 7.7 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $ 6.6 million in the same period in 2017 . For the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to three months ended September 30, 2017 , the average selling price ("ASP") of ferrous material increased $ 44 per gross ton, or 13% , primarily due to market improvements . For the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to three months ended September 30, 2017 , ferrous material shipments increased 0.1 thousand tons , or 1% . Ferrous revenue includes non-commodity revenue such as service fees, transportation and returns and allowances; the ASP calculation excludes these non-commodity revenues.

Non-f errous revenue increased $ 0.9 million or 11.0% to $ 8.8 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $ 7.9 million in the same period in 2017 . F or the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to three months ended September 30, 2017 , the ASP of non-ferrous material remained flat, and non-ferrous material shipments increased by 0.9 million pounds, or 12% . Non-ferrous revenue includes non-commodity revenue such as service fees, transportation and returns and allowances; the ASP calculation excludes these non-commodity revenues.

Total cost of sales increased $ 2.1 million or 15.4% to $ 16.1 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $ 14.0 million for the same period in 2017 . The increase was a result of an increase in ferrous material shipments and higher average prices on a per-unit basis in our ferrous operations and an increase in non-ferrous material shipments.

Total cost of sales as a percent of revenue increased during the three month period ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 as a result of the above discussed recent global political events.

SG&A expenses increased $ 32.0 thousand to $ 0.9 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $ 0.9 million in the same period in 2017 . S G&A expenses increased primarily due to increases in director fees and costs of $23.2 thousand, insurance expense of $22.0 thousand and legal expense of $22.4 thousand offset by a decrease in labor expense of $28.1 thousand. The Company is currently under a property tax audit and has accrued an estimate of potential assessments.

Other income (expense) was expense of $ 277.0 thousand for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to expense of $ 257.0 thousand for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 . This $ 20.0 thousand change is a result of (i) a $ 52.0 thousand increase in interest expense, which is a result of the increased outstanding balance on the line of credit and (ii) a change in other income (expense) of $32.0 thousand .

The income tax provision decreased $ 9.0 thousand in the three month period ended September 30, 2017 to a negative provision of $ 7.0 thousand in the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to a provision of $ 2.0 thousand in the same period in 2017. The effective tax rates in 2018 and 2017 were 1.4 % and ( 1.1 )% , respectively, based on federal and state statutory rates. Due to recurring operating losses being incurred, at December 31, 2013, we recorded nearly a full valuation allowance, which is continuing through September 30, 2018 . We also have several state and franchise taxes payable based on gross receipts.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2018 was $ 477.0 thousand compared to a net loss of $ 177.0 thousand for the same period of 2017 . This was an increase of $ 0.3 million, or 169.5% .

Financial condition at September 30, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $ 105.0 thousand to $ 736.0 thousand as of September 30, 2018 from $ 841.0 thousand as of December 31, 2017 .

Net cash used in operating activities was $ 1.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 . The net cash used in operating activities is primarily due to an increase in receivables of $ 2.3 million, an increase in inventories of $ 0.7 million, an increase in other assets of $ 0.1 million, and a decrease in payables and accrued expenses to related parties of $ 0.2 million. These cash uses in operating activities were partially offset by net income of $ 356.0 thousand, an increase in accounts payable of $ 0.6 million, depreciation of $ 1.6 million, a decrease in receivables from related parties of $ 44.0 thousand, and share based compensation expense of $ 64.0 thousand.

Net cash from investing activities was $ 284.0 thousand for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 . In the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 , we recorded a gain from insurance proceeds of $ 487.0 thousand. The C ompany had $ 203.0 thousand of unfinanced capital expenditures in 2018 .

Net cash from financing activities was $ 0.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 . In the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 , we received net proceeds from debt of $ 1.1 million less capitalized loan fees in the amount of $ 136.0 thousand and payments on capital lease obligations of $ 229.0 thousand.

Accounts receivable trade after allowances for doubtful accounts increased $ 2.3 million or 54.1% to $ 6.5 million as of September 30, 2018 compared to $ 4.2 million as of December 31, 2017 due to increased shipments and commodity price increases. In general, the accounts receivable balance fluctuates due to the quantity and timing of shipments, commodity prices and receipt of customer payments.

Accounts receivables from related parties decreased $ 44.0 thousand to $ 48.0 thousand as of September 30, 2018 compared to $ 92.0 thousand as of December 31, 2017 . This decrease was due to timing of cash receipts.

Inventories consist principally of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap materials. We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory increased $ 0.7 million, or 13.1% , to $ 5.8 million as of September 30, 2018 compared to $ 5.1 million as of December 31, 2017 . This increase is primarily driven by higher commodity prices and increased volumes during the third quarter of 2018 compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 .

Inventory greater than 60 days compared to total inventory increased to 10.7% as of September 30, 2018 compared to 6.7% as of December 31, 2017 . The $275.0 thousand increase in inventory greater than 60 days primarily consists of numerous individually insignificant changes.

Accounts payable trade increased $ 0.6 million or 34.9% to $ 2.4 million as of September 30, 2018 compared to $ 1.8 million as of December 31, 2017 . The accounts payable balance fluctuates due to timing of purchases from and payments made to our vendors.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015 - 17 , Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2015 - 17 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Upon adoption, ASU 2015 -17 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2017 and noted no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 - 02 , Leases , to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This ASU will require organizations that lease assets (“lessees”) to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of more than twelve months. A lease liability is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This ASU leaves the accounting for the organizations that own the leased assets largely unchanged except for targeted improvements to align it with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The amendments in ASU 2016 - 02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016 - 02 on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of January 1, 2019, the Company expects to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability of approximately $7.0 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet . The Company does not expect the changes to have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Upon adoption, the Company expects that its financial statement disclosures will be expanded to present additional details of its leasing arrangements.

In August 201 6 , the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 1 5 , Statement of Cash Flows, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016 - 15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Upon adoption, ASU 2016 - 15 should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2018 and noted no material impact from the adoption of ASU 2016 - 15 on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the reporting period had, or is expected to have, a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

N/A - Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures.

ISA’s management, including ISA’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2018 , ISA’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that ISA files under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to ISA’s management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

(b) Changes to internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in ISA's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ISA's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company has litigation from time to time, including employment-related claims, none of which the Company currently believes to be material.

The Company's operations are subject to various environmental statutes and regulations, including laws and regulations addressing materials used in the processing of products. In addition, certain of the Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the air and water and establish standards for the treatment, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. Failure to maintain or achieve compliance with these laws and regulations or with the permits required for operations could result in substantial operating costs and capital expenditures, in addition to fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third party claims for property damage or personal injury, cleanup costs or temporary or permanent discontinuance of operations. Certain of the Company's facilities have been in operation for many years and, over time, the Company and other predecessor operators of these facilities have generated, used, handled and disposed of hazardous and other regulated wastes. Environmental liabilities in material amounts could exist, including cleanup obligations at these facilities or at off-site locations where the Company disposed of materials from its operations, which could result in future expenditures that the Company cannot currently estimate and which could reduce its profits. The Company records liabilities for remediation and restoration costs related to past activities when its obligation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable. Costs of ongoing compliance activities related to current operations are expensed as incurred. Such compliance has not historically constituted a material expense to the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 . You should carefully consider the risk factors in our 2017 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
