The Company’s long term incentive plan makes available up to 2.4 million shares of our common stock for performance-based awards under the plan. We 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 we 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 plan is administered by a committee selected by the Board, initially our Compensation Committee, and consisting solely 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. The Committee may settle an award under the plan in cash rather than stock.
As of July 1, 2009, we awarded options to purchase 30.0 thousand shares of our stock each to our three independent directors for a total of 90.0 thousand shares at a per share exercise price of $4.23. We recorded expense related to these stock options of $95.1 thousand in 2009.
On January 11, 2010, we issued 18.0 thousand shares of stock to management at a per share price of $6.47, and as of February 11, 2010, we awarded 7.5 thousand shares of our stock to management at a per share price of
$6.73. The Board of Directors approved the grant on January 6, 2010 when the grant date fair value of the awards was $6.39 per share. On June 8, 2010, we awarded 30.0 thousand shares of our stock to management at a per share price of $9.51. The grant date fair value of these awards was $3.80 per share. On November 15, 2010, we awarded 5.0 thousand shares of our stock to management at a grant date fair value of $10.34 per share. In January 2011, we awarded 60.0 thousand shares of our stock to management and 0.6 thousand shares of our stock to consultants at various prices.
NOTE 10 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 4, 2007, Lennox Industries, Inc., a commercial heating and air-conditioning manufacturer, filed a suit against us captioned Lennox Industries, Inc. v. Industrial Services of America, Inc., Case No. CV-2007-004, in the Arkansas County, Arkansas Circuit Court in Stuttgart, Arkansas. Lennox in its Second Amended Complaint alleged breach of contract, negligence, and breach of fiduciary duty arising from our alleged miscategorization of Lennox’s scrap metal and mismanagement of the scrap metal recycling operations at three Lennox plants during the contract period April 18, 2001 through termination on November 17, 2005. Both compensatory and punitive damages were sought by Lennox.
A jury trial was held from June 20-24, 2011. The punitive damage claim was withdrawn by Lennox at the conclusion of its case, and Lennox claimed over $1 million in compensatory damages. On June 24, the jury found in ISA’s favor on five of the six claims. Lennox was awarded $175,000 on the remaining claim, which we have accrued.
We have litigation from time to time, including employment-related claims, none of which we currently believe to be material.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTS 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.
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 the fluctuations in the commodity price index 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, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
General
We are primarily focusing our attention now and in the future towards our recycling business. We sell processed ferrous and non-ferrous scrap material to end-users such as steel mini-mills, integrated steel makers, foundries and refineries. We deliver all scrap ourselves or through third parties via truck, railcar, and/or barge. Some customers choose to send their own delivery trucks, which are weighed and loaded at one of our sites based on the sales order. We purchase ferrous and non-ferrous scrap material primarily from industrial and
22
commercial generators of steel, iron, aluminum, copper, stainless steel and other metals as well as from other scrap dealers who deliver these materials directly to our facilities. We process these materials by shredding, sorting, shearing, cutting and/or baling. We will also continue to focus on initiating growth in our waste services business segment, which includes management services and waste and recycling equipment sales, service and leasing.
In July, 2010 we purchased certain Venture Metals, LLC intangibles, including the customer list and trade name, and entered into a non-compete agreement to protect our market position. We obtained an independent valuation for this purchase in 2011. No changes to the values previously recorded were necessary as a result of the valuation.
We continue to pursue a growth strategy in the waste management services arena by adding new locations of existing customers as well as marketing our services to potential customers. Currently, we service approximately 900 customer locations throughout the United States and we utilize an active database of over 7,000 vendors to provide timely, thorough and cost-effective service to our customers.
Although our focus is on the recycling industry, our goal is to remain dedicated to the management services and equipment industries as well, while sustaining steady growth at an acceptable profit, adding to our net worth, and providing positive returns for stockholders. We intend to increase efficiencies and productivity in our core business while remaining alert for possible acquisitions, strategic partnerships, mergers and joint-ventures that would enhance our profitability.
We have operating locations in Louisville, Kentucky, Seymour and New Albany, Indiana. We do not have operating locations outside the United States.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011 we held cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 million. We maintain a cash account on deposit with BB&T which serves as collateral for our swap agreements. As of June 30, 2011, the balance in this account was $653.1 thousand.
On April 12, 2011, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Fifth Third Bank (the “Bank”) pursuant to which the Bank agreed to provide the Company with a Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $226.9 thousand for the purpose of purchasing operating equipment. The interest rate is five and 68/100 percent (5.68%). Principal and interest is payable in 48 equal monthly installments, each on the 20th day of each calendar month of $5,294 commencing on the 20th day of May, 2011, with the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, charges, fees or other advances, if any, due on or before April 20, 2015. As security for the Note, we have granted the Bank a first priority security interest in the equipment purchased with the proceeds of the Note.
On April 14, 2011, we entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “April Amendment”) with Fifth Third Bank (the “Bank”) which amends the July 30, 2010 Credit Agreement between the Company and the Bank (the “Credit Agreement”) as follows: The April Amendment (i) increased the maximum revolving commitment and the maximum amount of eligible inventory advances in the calculation of the borrowing base, (ii) changed the due date of the first excess cash flow payment to April 30, 2012, and (iii) amended certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement and certain of the other loan documents.
23
Under the original Credit Agreement, we were permitted to borrow the lesser of $40.0 million or the borrowing base, consisting of the sum of 80% of eligible accounts plus 60% of eligible inventory up to $17.0 million. Under the April Amendment, the Bank agreed to increase the revolving credit facility to the lesser of $45.0 million or the borrowing base, consisting of the sum of 85% of eligible accounts plus 60% of eligible inventory up to $18.0 million.
In the Credit Agreement, we agreed to certain covenants, including (i) maintenance of a ratio of debt to adjusted EBITDA for the preceding 12 months of not more than 3.5 to 1 (or, if measured as of December 31 of any fiscal year, 4.0 to 1), (ii) maintenance of a ratio of adjusted EBITDA for the preceding twelve months to aggregate cash payments of interest expense and scheduled payment of principal in the preceding 12 months of not less than 1.20 to 1, and (iii) a limitation on capital expenditures of $4.0 million in any fiscal year. As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants. As of June 30, 2011, our ratio of debt to adjusted EBITDA was 3.0; our ratio of adjusted EBITDA to aggregate cash payments of interest expense and scheduled principal payments was 1.57, and our capital expenditures totaled $1.2 million, which includes $0.3 million in deposits on equipment. As of June 30, 2011, we have available $13.9 million under our existing credit facilities that we can use without causing a breach in these covenants.
We have long term debt comprised of the following:

Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to six months ended June 30, 2010
Total revenue increased $4.2 million or 2.5% to $171.2 million in 2011 compared to $167.0 million in 2010. Recycling revenue increased $4.5 million or 2.8% to $167.3 million in 2011 compared to $162.8 million in 2010. This is primarily due an increase in the volume of ferrous materials shipments of 20.8 thousand gross tons or 23.2%. Overall average price for all commodities shipped increased $11.88 per gross ton, or 1.2%, as well. In 2011, new dealer sales in the Recycling segment totaled $18.6 million, while lost dealer sales totaled only $5.3 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the volume of stainless steel materials shipments of 31.3 million pounds, or 29.4%, due to a decrease in worldwide stainless steel demand in the second quarter. Substantially all of our stainless steel sales are to one customer. In response to the overall decrease in demand for stainless steel, this customer decreased sales orders in the second quarter. The volume of other nonferrous materials shipments also decreased by 0.5 million pounds, or 3.4%. Sales to existing Recycling segment dealers decreased by $6.5 million, or 4.2%. Waste Services revenue decreased $0.4 million or 8.5% to $3.8 million in 2011 compared to $4.2 million in 2010 primarily due to the loss of several large customers in the first and second quarters.
Total cost of goods sold increased $6.2 million or 4.0% to $159.1 million 2011 compared to $152.9 million in 2010. Recycling cost of goods sold increased $6.7 million or 4.5% to $156.4 million in 2011 compared to $149.7 million in 2010. This is primarily due to an increase in the volume of ferrous materials purchases of 37.8 thousand gross tons, or 38.4%, and an increase in the volume of other nonferrous materials purchases of 3.4 million pounds, or 21.7% along with the increase in volume of shipments noted above. Additional increases in cost of goods sold are as follows:
| | |
| • | An increase in direct labor expense of $0.9 million; |
| • | An increase in freight expense of $0.6 million; |
| • | An increase in repair and maintenance expense of $0.7 million; |
| • | An increase in fuel, lubricants, torching materials, and hauling expense of $0.4 million; and |
| • | An increase in depreciation expense of $0.3 million. |
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the volume of stainless steel materials purchases of 39.6 million pounds, or 36.6%, due to the decrease in worldwide stainless steel demand in the second quarter noted above. Overall average price for all commodities purchased decreased $40.92 per gross ton, or 4.7%. Processing fees also decreased $0.5 million.
Waste Services cost of goods sold decreased $0.5 million or 16.4% to $2.7 million in 2011 compared to $3.2 million in 2010 primarily due to the loss of the customers mentioned above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million or 6.1% to $6.4 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $6.8 million in the same period in 2010. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 3.7% in 2011 compared to 4.1% in 2010. The primary drivers of the decrease in total expenses were as follows:
| | |
| • | A decrease in labor and bonus expense of $1.3 million; and |
| • | A decrease in utilities, insurance, property taxes, repairs and maintenance expense of $0.3 million. |
These decreases were partially offset by the following:
| | |
| • | An increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million; |
| • | An increase in operating supplies, fuel, lubricant, and hauling expenses of $0.3 million; |
| • | An increase in consulting, management fees, and directors’ fees of $0.2 million; |
| • | An increase in legal expenses of $0.1 million. |
Other expense increased $1.3 million to other expense of $1.7 million in 2011 compared to other expense of $0.4 million in 2010. This was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $0.5 million, a decrease in the gain on sale of assets of $0.1 million, the provision for the legal settlement of $0.2 million, and an increase in other expense of $0.5 million. This $0.5 million increase in other expense resulted from the need to cancel purchase contracts due to the decrease in demand for stainless steel. These contracts required the Company to pay $0.5 million in termination fees. The Company chose to terminate these purchase contracts because the purchase contracts cancelled were valued at approximately $2.4 million, an amount well above the prevailing market price of the underlying commodities. Because the Company can purchase these commodities in the market at lower cost when needed to fill new shipment orders, management determined that the Company could benefit from market volatility by cancelling these contracts, even after paying the termination fees.
Income tax provision decreased $1.3 million to $1.4 million in 2011 compared to $2.7 million in 2010. The effective tax rates in 2011 and 2010 were 37.0% and 40.0%, respectively, based on federal and state statutory rates. In 2011, we were able to take advantage of the Domestic Production Activities Deduction available to US-based manufacturing companies.
25
Three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to three months ended June 30, 2010
Total revenue decreased $27.8 million or 30.0% to $65.0 million for the three month period ending June 30, 2011 as compared to $92.8 million during the same period in 2010. Recycling revenue decreased $27.6 million or 30.5% to $63.1 million during this period in 2011 compared to $90.7 million during the same period in 2010. This was primarily due to the drop in worldwide demand in stainless steel in the second quarter, causing a decrease of 32.3 million pounds, or 62.0%, in the volume of stainless steel materials shipments and a decrease of 0.7 million pounds, or 8.3%, in the volume of other nonferrous shipments. Overall average price for all commodities shipped decreased $128.62 per gross ton, or 13.1%. Substantially all of our stainless steel sales are to one customer. In response to the overall decrease in demand for stainless steel, this customer decreased sales orders in the second quarter. Overall sales to existing Recycling segment dealers decreased by $31.0 million, or 36.3%. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the volume of ferrous shipments of 2.6 thousand gross tons, or 5.0%. New dealer sales in the Recycling segment totaled $9.1 million, while lost dealer sales totaled only $3.7 million. Waste Services revenue decreased $0.2 million or 9.7% to $1.9 million during the three month period ending June 30, 2011 as compared to $2.1 million during the same period in 2010 primarily due to the loss of several large customers in the first and second quarters.
Total cost of goods sold decreased $24.3 million or 28.5% to $60.8 million for the three month period ending June 30, 2011 as compared to $85.1 million during the same period in 2010. Recycling cost of goods sold decreased $23.8 million or 28.6% to $59.6 million during this period in 2011 compared to $83.4 million during the same period in 2010. This was primarily due to the second quarter decrease in the volume of stainless steel materials purchased of 46.3 million pounds, or 72.7% along with the decrease in the volume of shipments noted above. Overall average price for all commodities purchased decreased $317.39 per gross ton, or 31.8%. Processing fees also decreased by $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the volume of ferrous materials purchased of 18.5 thousand gross tons, or 37.6% and an increase in the volume of nonferrous materials purchased of 3.5 million pounds, or 47.0%. Additional increases to cost of goods sold include the following:
| | |
| • | An increase in direct labor expense of $0.3 million; |
| • | An increase in repair and maintenance expense of $0.3 million; |
| • | An increase in fuel, lubricant, torching materials, and hauling expenses of $0.2 million; and |
| • | An increase in depreciation expense of $0.1 million. |
Waste Services cost of goods sold decreased $0.5 million or 26.7% to $1.2 million for the three month period ending June 30, 2011 as compared to $1.7 million during the same period in 2010 primarily due to the loss of the customers noted above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million or 27.8% to $2.6 million in 2011 compared to $3.6 million in 2010. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 4.0% in 2011 compared to 3.8% in 2010. The primary driver of the decrease in total expense was a decrease in labor, stock bonus and bonus expense of $1.2 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million.
Other expense increased $0.8 million to $1.1 million in 2011 compared to other expense of $0.3 million in 2010 primarily due to the increase of $0.2 million in interest expense due to new debt, the provision for the legal settlement of $0.2 million, and the increase of $0.5 million in other expense. This $0.5 million increase in other expense resulted from the need to cancel purchase contracts due to the decrease in demand for stainless steel. These contracts required the Company pay $0.5 million in termination fees. The Company chose to terminate these purchase contracts because the purchase contracts cancelled were valued at approximately $2.4 million, an amount well above the prevailing market price of the underlying commodities. Because the Company can purchase these commodities in the market at lower cost when needed to fill new shipment orders, management determined that the Company could benefit from market volatility by cancelling these contracts, even after paying the termination fees.
Income tax provision decreased $1.4 million to $0.2 million in 2011 compared to $1.6 million in 2010. The effective tax rate in 2011 and 2010 was 36.9% and 40.0%, respectively, based on federal and state statutory rates. In 2011, we were able to take advantage of the Domestic Production Activities Deduction available to US-based manufacturing companies.
26
We used net cash from investing activities of $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2011, we used $0.2 million for road and building improvements. We purchased recycling and rental fleet equipment, shredder system equipment, and office equipment of $0.5 million. The rental fleet equipment consists of solid waste handling and recycling equipment such as compactors, waste edge monitors, and balers. It is our intention to continue to pursue this market. We also purchased two trucks for $0.2 million. We received $0.2 million from sales of our rental fleet compactors, balers, and containers. We paid deposits of $0.3 million on machinery and equipment.
We used net cash from financing activities of $3.4 million and $3.9 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2011, we made payments on debt obligations of $3.9 million, and received $0.5 million in proceeds from debt.
Accounts receivable trade decreased $7.2 million to $20.2 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to $27.4 million as of December 31, 2010. This change is due to decreased demand for stainless steel in the second quarter and the resulting decrease in shipments of materials.
Inventories consist principally of stainless steel, ferrous and nonferrous scrap materials and waste equipment machinery held for resale. We value inventory at the lower of cost or market. Inventory decreased $0.1 million or 0.4% to $34.2 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to $34.3 million as of December 31, 2010. With lower demand for stainless steel causing fewer sales orders in the second quarter, we decreased purchasing activity and cancelled several purchase contracts, thus lowering inventory.

Inventory in the “Over 90 days” category as of June 30, 2011 includes several materials that are bought in bulk for pricing and used sparingly in between blends. We have not used some material due to decreased demand for stainless steel and other nickel-based scrap metals in the second quarter. The Company cannot assure that global demand will improve in the near term.
Accounts payable trade decreased $6.4 million or 56.0% to $5.0 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to $11.4 million as of December 31, 2010, primarily due to decreasing purchasing activity in response to lower demand for metals in the second quarter.
Working capital decreased $0.9 million to $46.4 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to $47.3 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily driven by the $7.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, the $0.4 million decrease in cash, and the $0.1 million decrease in inventories. These decreases were partially offset by the $6.4 million decrease in accounts payable, the $0.9 million decrease in accrued bonuses, and $0.5 million increase in income taxes payable.
Deposits increased $2.0 million to $2.2 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to $0.2 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a deposit of $1.7 million for inventory and deposits on equipment of $0.3 million paid in the second quarter.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which is an update to Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. This update eliminates the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income and requires reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income to be shown on the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, the quarter ending March 31, 2012 for us. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, which is an update to Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, the quarter ending March 31, 2012 for us, and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In 2008 the FASB issued authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities and updated this guidance in February 2010 through guidance entitled “Technical Corrections to Various Topics”. The guidance amends and expands the disclosure requirements in the previously issued guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, the year beginning January 1, 2009 for us. The February 2010 update was effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance, the year ending December 31, 2009 for us. We have included the required disclosures in Note 4 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets in June 2009 with an update issued in December 2009. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009, the year ending December 31, 2010 for us. This new guidance limits the circumstances in which a financial asset may be de-recognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset or has continuing involvement with the transferred asset. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, which had previously facilitated sale accounting for certain asset transfers, is removed by this new guidance. The adoption of this new guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for variable interest entities (VIE) in June 2009 with an update issued in December 2009. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after November
29
15, 2009, the year ending December 2010 for us. This guidance changes the process for how an enterprise determines which party consolidates a VIE, to a primarily qualitative analysis. The party that consolidates the VIE (the primary beneficiary) is defined as the party with (1) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Upon adoption, reporting enterprises must reconsider their conclusions on whether an entity should be consolidated and should a change result, the effect on net assets will be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this new guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Fluctuating commodity prices affect market risk in our recycling segment. We mitigate this risk by selling our product on a monthly contract basis. Each month we negotiate selling prices for all commodities. Based on these monthly agreements, we determine purchase prices based on a margin needed to cover processing and administrative expenses.
We are exposed to commodity price risk, mainly associated with variations in the market price for ferrous and nonferrous metal, and other commodities. The timing and magnitude of industry cycles are difficult to predict and are impacted by general economic conditions. We respond to changes in recycled metal selling prices by adjusting purchase prices on a timely basis and by turning rather than holding inventory in expectation of higher prices. However, financial results may be negatively impacted where selling prices fall more quickly than purchase price adjustments can be made or when levels of inventory have an anticipated net realizable value that is below average cost.
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our floating rate borrowings.
Based on our average anticipated borrowings under our credit agreements in fiscal 2011, a hypothetical increase or decrease in the LIBOR rate by 1% would increase or decrease interest expense on our variable borrowings by 1% of the outstanding balance, with a corresponding change in cash flows.
We entered into three interest rate swap agreements swapping variable rates for fixed rates. The first swap agreement covers $5.0 million in debt and commenced April 7, 2009 and matures on April 7, 2014. The second swap agreement covers approximately $2.2 million in debt and commenced October 15, 2008 and matures on May 7, 2013. The third swap agreement covers approximately $483.8 thousand in debt and commenced October 22, 2008 and matures on October 22, 2013. The three swap agreements fix our interest rate at approximately 5.8%. At June 30, 2011, we recorded the estimated fair value of the liability related to the three swaps as approximately $580.0 thousand. We entered into the swap agreements for the purpose of hedging the interest rate market risk for the respective notional amounts. These swap agreements were not affected by the debt restructuring with Fifth Third Bank in 2010. We maintain a cash account on deposit with BB&T which serves as collateral for the swap agreements. As of June 30, 2011, the balance in this account was $653 thousand.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates in the normal course of business. Our interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates and the LIBOR rate. In order to manage this exposure, we use a combination of debt instruments, including the use of derivatives in the form of interest rate swap agreements. We do not enter into any derivatives for trading
30
purposes. The use of the interest rate swap agreement is intended to convert the variable rate to a fixed rate.

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 their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, 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 were no changes in ISA’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect ISA’s internal control over financial reporting. |
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
On January 4, 2007, Lennox Industries, Inc., a commercial heating and air-conditioning manufacturer, filed a suit against us captionedLennox Industries, Inc. v. Industrial Services of America, Inc., Case No. CV-2007-004, in the Arkansas County, Arkansas Circuit Court in Stuttgart, Arkansas. Lennox in its Second Amended Complaint alleged breach of contract, negligence, and breach of fiduciary duty arising from our alleged miscategorization of Lennox’s scrap metal and mismanagement of the scrap metal recycling operations at three Lennox plants during the contract period April 18, 2001 through termination on November 17, 2005. Both compensatory and punitive damages were sought by Lennox.
A jury trial was held from June 20-24, 2011. The punitive damage claim was withdrawn by Lennox at the conclusion of its case, and Lennox claimed over $1 million in compensatory damages. On June 24, the jury found in ISA’s favor on five of the six claims. Lennox was awarded $175,000 on the remaining claim, which we have accrued.
We have litigation from time to time, including employment-related claims, none of which we currently believe to be material.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
We have had no material changes from the risk factors reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2011.
Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no unregistered sales of equity securities in the second quarter of 2011. However, on July 1, 2010, we issued 300,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for the Venture Metals, LLC (“Venture”) customer list and name, Venture’s execution of a non-compete agreement, and Venture’s agreement to cause Mr. Jones and Mr. Valentine to provide the company with non-compete agreements. The issuance of shares to Venture was a private offering exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On November 15, 2005, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to 300,000 shares of our common stock at current market prices. No shares were repurchased in 2011, 2010, or 2009. In 2008, we repurchased 83,411 shares. Prior to 2008, we repurchased 83,264 shares.
