Board of Directors and Shareholders
Industrial Services of America, Inc. and Subsidiary
Louisville, Kentucky


We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Industrial Services of America, Inc. as of June 30, 2000 and the
related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by the AICPA.  A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data
and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

       INDUSTRIAL SERVICES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial reporting.  They do not include
all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete consolidated financial
statements.  The information furnished includes all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
fairly the Registrant's financial position as of June 30, 2000
and the results of its operations and changes in cash flows for
the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  Results of operations
for the period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
Additional information, including the audited 1999 consolidated
financial statements and the Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, is included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's operations include three primary segments:  ISA
Recycling, Computerized Waste Systems (CWS), and Waste Equipment
Sales & Service (WESSCO).  ISA recycling provides products and
services to meet the needs of its customers related to ferrous,
non-ferrous and fiber recycling at two locations in the Midwest.
CWS provides waste disposal services including contract
negotiations with vendors, centralized billing, invoice auditing,
and centralized dispatching.  WESSCO sells, leases, and services
waste handling and recycling equipment.

The Company's three reportable segments are determined by the
products and services that each offers.  The recycling segment
generates its revenues based on buying and selling of ferrous and
non-ferrous scrap, CWS's revenues consist of management fees
charged to customers at a percentage of the total service
provided, and WESSCO sales and lease income comprise the primary
source of revenue for this segment.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on profit or loss
before income taxes and the evaluation process for each segment
includes only direct expenses omitting any selling, general and
administrative costs.

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

THIS REPORT ON FORM 10-Q CONTAINS STATEMENTS WHICH COULD BE
CONSIDERED FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND ARE SUBJECT
TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT INCLUDE VARYING DEMAND FOR WASTE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT, COMPETITIVE PRESSURES IN THE
WASTE MANAGEMENT BUSINESS, AND FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF
RECYCLED MATERIALS.  FURTHER INFORMATION ON FACTORS THAT COULD
AFFECT THE REGISTRANT'S RESULTS IS DETAILED IN THE REGISTRANT'S
FORM 10-K FILING FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.  THE REGISTRANT UNDERTAKES NO
OBLIGATION TO PUBLICLY RELEASE THE RESULTS OF ANY REVISIONS TO
THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of June 30, 2000 the Registrant held cash and cash
equivalents of $1,826,990.

     The Registrant derives its revenues from several sources,
including management services, equipment sales and leasing and
from its recycling operations.  Management services comprised
approximately 67.8% and 72.0% of the Registrant's total revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     The Registrant currently maintains a working capital line of
credit with the Mid-America Bank of Louisville and Trust Company
(the "Bank") in the amount of $2,000,000.  Outstanding principal
under this credit facility bears interest at the Bank's prime
rate and the line matured in June 2000. At June 30, 2000 there
was nothing drawn against this line of credit.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the
percentage relationship which certain captioned items in the
Registrant's Statements of Operations bear to total revenues and
other pertinent data:

                                      Six Months ended June 30,

Selling, general and administrative
  expenses .............................   6.5%           7.2%
Income from operations .................   1.0%           1.3%

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1999

     Total revenue increased 19.9% from $36,515,839 in 1999 to
$43,786,987 in 2000.  CWS sales increased 12.9% from $26,290,165
in 1999 to $29,690,025 in 2000.  Revenue in the recycling segment
increased 42.9% from $9,005,552 in 1999 to $12,868,298 in 2000.
This


                               11

increase is attributed to an increase in the tonnage of ferrous
commodities shipped of 17.0% and non-ferrous pounds shipped of
14.1%.  Combined with this, the average selling price per ton in
the ferrous market increased 25.0% and the selling price of non-
ferrous items increased by 26.8%.  Revenue in the equipment sales
and leasing segment had a minimal increase of $8,542 from the
second quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999.

     The 2000 total cost of sales was $40,496,127 increasing
$7,101,361 or 21.3% compared to 1999.  The cost of goods sold in
management services increased 12.0% which reflects the revenue
increase of 12.9%.  Cost of sales in the equipment sales and
leasing segment decreased 5.9% as the mix of rentals versus
equipment sales increased over last year.  Cost of sales in the
recycling segment increased 54.0% from $7,739,163 to $11,919,600
due to increased shipments and higher purchasing costs.  Average
purchase prices in the ferrous market increased approximately 38%
while the average prices in the non-ferrous market increased
approximately 28%.

     The gross margin was $3,290,860 representing an increase of
$169,787 or a 5.4% increase from 1999.  The gross margin was 7.5%
of revenue, which was 1.1% lower than 1999.  The gross margin in
management services was 6.4% in the first six months of 2000
versus 5.6% in 1999.  Gross profit in the recycling segment was
7.4% in the six months of 2000 versus 14.1% in the first six
months of 1999.  Purchase prices of commodities rose at a faster
rate than the selling prices due to fixed contracts.  For example
average ferrous purchases in the current six month period
increased approximately 35% while the average selling price per
ton only increased by approximately 25% as compared to the same
six month period last year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8.9%
from $2,623,470 in 1999 to $2,855,744 in 2000, and as a
percentage to sales, decreased from 7.2% to 6.5%.  Expenses
remain controlled as a percentage of revenue.  During the six
month period ended June 30, 2000, $331,350 in one-time and non-
recurring charges were incurred for separation agreements,
restructuring charges and professional/legal fees.  Without this
one-time charge, selling, general and administrative expenses
would have been $2,524,394 or a 3.8% decrease from the prior year
six month period.

     Net profit after taxes recorded for the first six months is
$300,054 or a 36.1% increase from the $220,500 reported for the
first six months of last year.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30,
1999

     Total revenue increased 23.2% from $19,449,107 in 1999 to
$23,959,214 in 2000.  CWS sales increased 19.8% from $14,068,950
in 1999 to $16,860,126 in 2000.  Commodity prices have rebounded
since the second quarter of 1999 and ferrous shipments and non-
ferrous shipments have increased causing an increase in recycling
revenues of 38.3% from $4,689,890 in 1999 to $6,485,229 in 2000.
Revenue in the equipment sales and leasing segment decreased
$76,408 or 11.1% from second quarter this year compared to the
second quarter last year.

     The 2000 total cost of sales was $22,297,478 increasing
$4,324,772 or 24.1% compared to 1999.  The cost of goods sold in
management services increased 17.0% which is proportional


                               12

to the revenue increase from management fees and cardboard
revenue.  Cost of sales in the equipment sales and leasing
segment decreased 26.7% on decreased revenue of 11.1% as the mix
of rentals outpaced the increase in equipment sales.

     The gross margin was $1,661,736 representing an increase of
$185,335 or a 12.6% increase from 1999.  The gross margin was
6.9% of revenue, which was 0.7% lower than 1999 as a percentage
to revenue.  The gross margin in management services was 7.1% in
the second quarter of 2000 versus 4.8% in 1999 which is a direct
result of the increased revenue from cardboard proceeds.  Gross
profit in the recycling segment was 3.2% in the second quarter of
2000 versus 12.5% in the second quarter of 1999.  In this segment
the three main products that are recycled include ferrous, non-
ferrous and fiber. Gross margins fluctuate depending upon the
revenue mix. Revenues increased in the ferrous and non-ferrous
markets 14.1% and 20.0% respectively from the second quarter of
1999 to the second quarter of 2000. The gross margin of ferrous
items is higher than non-ferrous items causing total gross margin
as a percentage to decrease, as the lower gross margin products
comprised more of the revenue growth.  Purchase prices of
commodities also rose at a faster pace than selling prices in the
second quarter.  Management is aware of the declining gross
profit levels in the second quarter and is being more aggressive
with purchases and selling prices.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 12.5%
from $1,279,002 in 1999 to $1,438,391 in 2000, and as a
percentage to sales, decreased from 6.6% to 6.0%.  Expenses
remain controlled as a percentage of revenue and many of the
costs of operation have remained somewhat fixed even though the
revenue results have increased. The Registrant incurred a one-
time charge in the amount of $331,350 for separation agreements,
restructuring charges and legal/professional fees.  A non-
material charge was taken in the first quarter of 2000 in the
amount of $25,000 while the remaining $306,350 was expensed in
the second quarter.  Without this charge, expenses would have
been 11.5% less than the second quarter of the prior year.

     Net profit after taxes for the second quarter is $162,783 or
a  90.2%  improvement compared to the $85,581 net profit reported
in the second quarter of 1999.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31,
1999

     Accounts receivable-trade after allowances for bad debt
increased 2.6% or $228,593 during the first two quarters of 2000
due to the strong increase in revenues during the past six
months.  The Registrant continues to focus on collections of past
due receivables and current outstanding accounts.

     Accounts payable-trade decreased $310,898 or 2.3% as a
result of the Registrant's efforts to turn vendor invoices at a
faster rate.

     From December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000, the Registrant's
working capital increased by $220,944 to a deficit of $540,578
from the deficit of $761,522. The primary reason for the increase
is due to the decrease in accounts payable of $310,898 as total
current assets only decreased by $120,401 from December 31, 1999
to June 30, 2000.  The Registrant's management will be focused on
working capital during the remainder of the fiscal year. Surplus

inventories will be shipped and the Registrant intends to examine
its purchases carefully to reduce inventory  by year-end. The
Registrant continues to improve upon  expense controls to provide
operational efficiencies and customer service.

ITEM 5.   OTHER INFORMATION
          (a)  During the second quarter of 2000, the Registrant
               formed iR2 Solutions, a new division created to
               capitalize on e-business opportunities and deliver
               information technology solutions to the waste and
               recycling industry.  The new division will be
               managed by Michael B. Friedman, Vice President of
               Marketing, and W. Bruce Burton, Vice-President of
               Information Technology. Dennis McDonough joined
               the Company as iR2 Solutions Manager of
               Information Systems.  McDonough will focus on the
               expansion and development of the Registrant's
               information technology.  His primary
               responsibility includes enhancement to the
               Registrant's Computerized Waste Systems software
               and leading the information technology consulting
               group.

               The Registrant promoted three individuals as
               follows:  Timothy W. Myers to Chief Operating
               Officer, Steve Singer to Vice-President Recycling,
               and Charles Hulsman to Vice-President of
               Computerized Waste Systems (CWS).

               During August 2000, the Registrant's Board of
               Directors approved a new dividend policy.  The
               dividend policy was changed to allow for the
               declaration of cash dividends, subject to board
               approval.  Previously, all earnings were
               reinvested in the business.

               During August 2000, the Registrant's Board of
               Directors also approved a stock repurchase
               program.  The stock repurchase program allows for
               the purchase of up to 200,000 shares of the
               Registrant's common stock at current market
               prices.  The Company may discontinue the program
               at any time.
