PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ------- ----------------------- GENERAL ------- Industrial Services of America, Inc. (the "Registrant") is an integrated solid waste management consulting company engaged in the business of retail and industrial waste management and waste handling equipment sales and service. The Registrant is able to offer a "total package" concept to retail and industrial clients to cover their waste management needs. The Registrant believes that it offers a more complete line of products and services than its competitors and is better able to coordinate these services on a nationwide basis. By offering competitively priced waste handling equipment from a number of different manufacturers, the Registrant is able to tailor equipment packages for individual client needs. By carrying limited inventory, the Registrant reduces overhead and passes the savings to the customer. The waste management services offered by the Registrant include locating a hauling company at a reasonable cost for each respective location for any chain on the management program. Because the Registrant is not a "waste transporter," it is able to maintain a neutral position. The proprietary computer software designed and developed by the Registrant for use in its daily operations allows the Registrant access to relevant waste information throughout the United States and puts relevant customer information within reach of Registrant personnel. The Registrant also manages a recycling operation for an affiliated company, for which it retains a percentage of the profits from said operation. The Registrant plans to grow by expanding its marketing base and seeking future joint ventures which can enhance its marketability and visibility. The Registrant continues to target industrial customers throughout the United States for the purpose of increasing its industrial clientele. Although the number of locations of each customer will generally be less than with large retail chains, the Registrant believes that it can provide substantial savings for each industrial location, thereby justifying larger management fees. With industrial clients, there is also a greater possibility of large equipment orders as the solid waste output for each individual industrial location is generally greater than for retail clients and the corresponding need for appropriate equipment is greater. The Registrant has developed nationwide coverage through its computer system designed to integrate information pertinent to its waste management services throughout the country. This system provides the Registrant access to hauling and disposal rates as well as equipment, installation, and shipping costs. The Registrant has the ability to estimate cost savings to -1-
10KSB4th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
potential customers by reviewing their current waste hauling invoices nationwide or a regional sampling thereof. The Registrant believes that opportunities for its continued growth are enhanced by the increasingly stringent regulatory and political constraints being placed on the waste hauling and disposal industries on a federal, state and local level. These more stringent regulations continue to drive prices higher throughout the industry. With these ever-increasing costs relating to solid waste disposal, retail and industrial customers are realizing that waste disposal is quickly becoming one of their biggest expense items and perhaps the most difficult to contain. The Registrant believes these increased costs will enhance the value of the Registrant's services. In April 1992, the Registrant entered into a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with K & R Corporation ("K & R"), a Kentucky corporation, and an affiliated company owned by the Registrant's principal stockholder in which the Registrant is responsible for the management of the scrap and corrugated paper recycling for K & R. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Registrant purchased certain rental equipment and scrap metal inventories from K & R, manages K & R's operations and in consideration thereof retains a percentage of the profits generated from the operation(s). The Management Agreement provides that the Registrant will retain 60% of the profits generated from K & R's operations. During 1995 and 1994, revenue derived under this arrangement resulted in income before provision for income taxes to the Registrant totaling $728,391 and $236,330, respectively. During the third quarter of 1993, the Registrant invested in an online computer database, RecycleLine, which provides recycling information to subscribers nationwide. The Registrant decided to cease its investment in this venture. Accordingly, on December 15, 1994, the Registrant assigned back its interest in RecycleLine to Recycling Data Management Corporation ("RDMC") and retained an option for five (5) years to re-acquire a 40% interest in RecycleLine and/or a 40% equity interest in RDMC based upon an exercise price equal to the book value of RDMC's shares at such time. -2-

The Registrant provides waste management consulting services to its customers. Prior to 1994, the Registrant's service and consulting revenue was derived principally from management fees paid by its customers. The Registrant collected funds from its customers for services rendered, retained its management fee, and remitted the remaining funds to third party vendors who performed the waste removal and maintenance services. In 1994, because of certain market dynamics, changes in the industry and changes related to the Registrant's operations, management reevaluated the Registrant's manner of conducting business. Based on this reevaluation, the Registrant's pricing process was modified. As a result, the majority of the Registrant's customers pay a negotiated fee for their waste service needs, and in turn the Registrant subcontracts the necessary work to third party vendors and pays those vendors for their services. REGISTRANT BACKGROUND --------------------- The Registrant was incorporated in October, 1953 in Florida under the name Alson Manufacturing, Inc. From the date of incorporation through January 5, 1976, the Registrant was involved in the designing and manufacturing of various forms of electrical products. In 1979, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Registrant approved a proposal to liquidate Alson. In 1983, the Registrant commenced liquidation of all the tangible assets of Alson. On October 27, 1983, Harry Kletter acquired 419,500 shares of common stock of the Registrant. The existing directors resigned and five new directors were elected. On July 1, 1984, the Registrant began a solid waste handling and disposal equipment sales organization under the name Waste Equipment Sales and Service Company ("WESSCO"). On January 1, 1985, the Registrant merged with Computerized Waste Systems, Inc. ("CWS"), a Massachusetts corporation. CWS was a corporation specializing in offering solid waste management consultations for large multi-location companies involved in the retail, restaurant and industrial sectors. At the time of the merger, CWS was concentrating on large retail chains, but has changed its emphasis to include industrial clients. This strategy created an additional target market for the Registrant. Subsequent to the -3-
10KSB6th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
merger with CWS, the Registrant moved CWS headquarters from Springfield, Massachusetts to Louisville, Kentucky. At the time of the merger, much of the client base and marketing efforts were concentrated in the Northeast. With the move to Louisville, the Registrant began to expand its marketing efforts, which are now nationwide and include most of Canada. The Registrant operates primarily through WESSCO and CWS, which work closely with each other in terms of present customer care and proposals for new customers. WESSCO has expanded its product line and presently offers a variety of equipment which would be necessary for an efficient waste handling and/or recycling system for an individual user. The prices WESSCO can offer are competitive with most dealers since it purchases equipment at dealer cost without having to pay dealer overhead. The WESSCO program has attracted some customers planning expansion programs. Some of these have designated WESSCO as their exclusive waste equipment supplier and consultant. By working with the customer from the time the initial building plans are developed, WESSCO has input into the design, development and implementation of the waste handling system. CWS has developed a network of over 1000 vendors throughout the United States which includes hauling companies, recycling companies and equipment manufacturing and maintenance companies. Through this network, the Registrant is able to provide pricing estimates for potential customers in a timely fashion. CWS customer representatives have access to this information through the computer software designed and developed to accommodate the daily needs of the Registrant. Through this information retrieval system, customer representatives can review the accuracy of customer concerns from recent billings to hauling rates to the average monthly cost of service. The Registrant derives a significant portion of its revenues from a single customer. The Registrant is taking affirmative action to counter its dependence on any one customer. The potential negative effect of losing any single customer has been lessened by the Registrant's expansion of its customer base. However, there can be no assurance that if the Registrant were to lose all or the substantial portion of the business with this one customer that such loss would not have a material adverse effect on the Registrant. Although the expansion of the Registrant's marketing base has been a gradual process, it appears that its efforts are beginning to provide positive results. The Registrant has cautiously studied new markets before engaging in business in such markets. The Registrant has a number of proposals pending at various industrial and retail locations throughout the United States. Many of these proposals involve both equipment and -4-
10KSB7th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
management service contracts. Management has no assurances that any of these proposals will be accepted. In addition to the Registrant's expanded marketing coverage, the Registrant is in its third year of offering a new line of services to customers. The new services consist mainly of consulting services relating to recycling and waste stream analysis. The main advantage to offering consulting services is that the individual projects are priced on a substantial prepaid individual basis. This allows the Registrant to collect an up- front fee with the opportunity to "sell" the customer traditional services after the consulting and/or any subsequent implementation is complete. By offering consulting services, the Registrant is able to pursue an additional customer base. The Registrant's sales/marketing emphasis has shifted in the last three years from the traditional management services offered to multi-location retail customers to industrial/manufacturing customers. The Registrant believes that the profitability of its operations will be enhanced through the procurement of these accounts. Once a new system or methodology has been initiated, the need for the Registrant's traditional services continues. These services can be offered on a discounted basis since the consulting "retainer" is usually substantial. There is also an opportunity to sell new equipment since many industrial clients have obsolete or inappropriate systems in place. INDUSTRY BACKGROUND ------------------- The Registrant is involved in the management of non- hazardous solid waste and recyclables for retail and industrial customers. As such, the industry is actually driven by the solid waste collection and disposal industry. The solid waste collection and disposal industry is a multi-billion industry. The size of this industry has increased for the past several years and should continue to increase as landfill space becomes more scarce, thereby reducing the supply of ultimate disposal facilities with no corresponding decrease in demand for ultimate disposal. Although society (and industry) has developed an increased awareness of the environmental issues and recycling has increased, waste production continues to increase. Because of environmental concerns, new regulations and cost factors, it has become difficult to obtain the necessary permits to build any new landfills. Management believes that the landfill shortage will become a greater national problem in the future. The rising costs associated with solid waste disposal have created additional opportunities for the Registrant. Because waste disposal has begun to take an increasingly larger percentage of the total monthly expenditures incurred by commercial establishments, the Registrant believes that the -5-
10KSB8th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
services offered by the Registrant will be in greater demand. Many commercial establishments that never paid attention to the costs associated with waste disposal in the past are now looking for ways to reduce expenses in this area. The Registrant is able to offer commercial establishments its expertise to lower waste disposal bills and initiate recycling programs to generate additional revenues and/or reduce costs and materials bound for ultimate disposal. In addition to increasing landfill costs, regulatory measures and more stringent control of materials bound for disposal ("flow control") are making the management of solid waste an increasingly difficult problem. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") is expected to continue the present trend of restricting the amount of "potentially" recyclable material bound for landfills. Most states have passed, or are contemplating measures which would require, commercial establishments to recycle a minimum percentage of their waste stream and would restrict the percentage of recyclable materials in any commercial load of solid waste material. Most states have already passed restrictive regulations requiring a plan for the reduction of waste or the segregation of recyclable materials from the waste stream at the source. Management of the Registrant believes that these restrictions may create additional marketing opportunities as waste disposal needs within commercial establishments become more specialized. Some large commercial establishments have hired in-house staff to handle the solid waste management and recycling responsibilities, but have found that without adequate resource and staff support, this may not be an effective alternative. The Registrant offers these establishments a possible solution to this increasingly burdensome task. COMPETITION ----------- On a commercial/industrial waste management level, the Registrant has competition from a variety of sources. Much of it is from companies which concentrate their efforts on a regional level. Some of these companies may be able to handle a small national account, but most do not have the resources available to handle accounts of national significance. There has been increased competition from national hauling companies. The large national hauling companies often attempt to handle an entire chain of locations for a "national chain" client. This scenario poses a potential conflict of interest since these hauling companies can attain greater profitability from increases in hauling and disposal revenues. In addition to having an interest in raising hauling and disposal rates, the national hauling companies do not have operations in every city and do not, to the knowledge of management, have some of the -6-
10KSB9th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
billing and computer capabilities which the Registrant is able to offer. Additionally, management has encountered evidence of some reluctance from independent hauling companies to work with a national hauling company. There is also competition from some equipment manufacturers. These companies have their primary interest in selling or leasing equipment and offer management services in order to secure these sales (or leases). There is a cost involved in "using" the equipment and the money saved must justify the amount spent on this equipment. An important difference between the Registrant and the majority of its competition is the Registrant's management process. The systematic approach attempts to provide consistent results for the customer. At the implementation stage, the Registrant actively "bids out" every location that a new customer requests. The Registrant repeats this bidding process at any time that a client receives notice of an undocumented price increase or at regular intervals as indicated in the contractual relationship. At subsequent stages, the Registrant will evaluate a customer's solid waste program and give suggested alternatives for improvement. The Registrant has developed a network of maintenance companies and hauling companies throughout the country and due to the volume of business awarded to them by the Registrant, often these companies will offer discounted hauling and maintenance rates to the Registrant. However, the Registrant is not "affiliated" with any particular company or vendor in the hauling and/or maintenance industries, but rather deals with those companies and vendors that can supply quality service at a favorable price. In addition to the volume of business handled by some of these "vendors," the vendors understand that as long as the accounts are well-serviced, they will be invited to bid on future accounts. Few, if any, of the Registrant's competitors have a national network of vendors similar to the one the Registrant has developed over its years of operation. The major hauling companies are limited in the scope of services which they can provide to commercial/industrial accounts. Although the major hauling companies have operating companies in most major and intermediate-sized cities, they do not have nationwide geographic coverage. Therefore, for large commercial/industrial clients, they must obtain bids from local hauling companies that may perceive them to be future competitors. Most of the direct competition is from small regional companies that bid on regional accounts or national accounts on a regional basis. Few of the Registrant's competitors appear to be equipped to handle large national accounts nor do they seem to -7-
10KSB10th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
have the inclination to expand their geographic coverage. There are numerous national companies in closely related businesses, including national hauling companies, that have substantially greater financial resources than does the Registrant. Should any of these companies decide to compete directly with the Registrant, it could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Registrant. EMPLOYEES --------- The Registrant has approximately 78 full-time employees and approximately [10] independent consultants which provide professional services. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement between the Registrant and K & R, the Registrant manages the operations of K & R. PROPOSED PROJECTS ----------------- In an effort to diversify and expand the number of products and services offered to present and potential clients, the Registrant has, over the course of the past five years, promoted in-store recycling systems and has consulted with clients regarding the implementation of recycling programs. Through its experiences, the Registrant has developed cost effective waste minimization and recycling systems for retail and industrial clients designed to fit the needs of the individual client(s) . By increasing the number of services offered, the Registrant can offer existing clients additional services and can offer more options to potential clients in the future. Rather than being considered a waste management company, the Registrant perceives its role to be that of an environmental management company arranging for the handling of the solid waste and recycling requirements of its clients. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS -------------------- During the year 1995, the Registrant committed approximately $1,555,359 towards capital improvement with respect to its facilities. A significant portion of such funds were for a Moros Shear model H-L-500 and a Liebherr Crane model R932 HDSL. The purchase of the Moros Shear is a major step in modernizing the Registrant's facilities. The Moros Shear is used to process ferrous scrap into specified sizes of material acceptable at steel mills. It has decreased down time and made the facilities more efficient, cost effective and able to handle additional business. -8-
10KSB11th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
The Registrant also is involved in selling the Moros Shear. A local scrap recycler recently purchased a Moros Shear for approximately $1,500,000. Other purchases made by the Registrant included material handling equipment, conveyor systems, roll-off containers and computer equipment. EFFECT OF STATE AND FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS ----------------------------------------------------- Any environmental regulatory liability relating to the Registrant's operations is generally borne by the customers with which the Registrant contracts, and the third party vendors, in their capacity as transporters. As a matter of Registrant's policy, the Registrant uses its best efforts to secure indemnification for environmental liability from its customers and third party vendors. Although management of the Registrant believes that for the most part its business does not subject it to potential environmental liability, in any event, the Registrant uses its best efforts to be in compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws, including but not limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, the Clean Air Act, as amended, and the Clean Water Act. Such compliance in 1995 did not constitute a material expense to the Registrant. The collection and disposal of solid waste, and rendering of related environmental services are subject to federal, state and local requirements which regulate health, safety, the environment, zoning and land-use. Federal, state and local regulations vary, but generally govern disposal activities and the location and use of facilities and also impose restrictions to prohibit or minimize air and water pollution. In addition, governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with these regulations and to obtain injunctions or impose fines in the case of violations, including criminal penalties. These regulations are administered by the EPA and various other federal, state and local environmental, health and safety agencies and authorities, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor. The Registrant strives to conduct its operations in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. While such amounts expended in the past or anticipated to be expended in the future have not had and are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Registrant's financial condition or operations, the possibility remains that technological, regulatory or enforcement developments, the results of -9-
10KSB12th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
environmental studies or other factors could materially alter this expectation. Each state in which the Registrant operates has its own laws and regulations governing solid waste disposal, water and air pollution and, in most cases, releases and cleanup of hazardous substances and liability for such matters. Several states have enacted laws that will require counties to adopt comprehensive plans to reduce, through waste planning, composting, recycling, or other programs, the volume of solid waste landfills have recently been promulgated in several states. Legislative and regulatory measures to mandate or encourage waste reduction at the source and waste recycling also are under consideration by Congress and the EPA. Finally, various states have enacted, or are considering enacting, laws that restrict the disposal within the state of solid or hazardous wastes generated outside the state. While laws that overtly discriminate against out of state waste have been found to be unconstitutional, some laws that are less overtly discriminatory have been upheld in court. Challenges to other such laws are pending. The outcome of pending litigation and the likelihood that other such laws will be passed and will survive constitutional challenge are uncertain. In addition, Congress is currently considering legislation authorizing states to adopt such restrictions. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY ------- ----------------------- The Registrant leases its corporate office facilities which consist of approximately 4000 square feet of usable office space for $3,750 per month. The leased office space is located at 7100 Grade Lane in Louisville, Kentucky. The Registrant manages the scrap recycling operations of K & R and pays $6,250 per month for the facilities used in this operation. This property is located at 7100 Grade Lane in Louisville, Kentucky in the same "industrial complex" as the Registrant's corporate offices. Certain of the property and equipment of the Registrant and its subsidiaries are subject to liens securing payment of portions of the Registrant's and its subsidiaries' indebtedness. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for information with respect to debt on these properties. The Registrant and its subsidiaries also lease certain of their offices and equipment. See Notes 7 and 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for information with respect to leased properties.

PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER ------- ------------------------------------------------ MATTERS. ------- There has been limited trading of the Registrant's stock since Harry Kletter purchased 419,500 shares in October 1983. In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Registrant's common stock began trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). For the previous seven years, the stock was traded on a secondary market basis and as a result, the Registrant did not believe it could provide a meaningful range of high and low bid information for the Registrant's stock. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing sales prices for the Registrant's common stock as quoted on the OTCBB. [Download Table] Quarter Ended 1995 1994 ------------- ---- ---- High Low High Low ---- --- ---- --- March 31 -- -- -- -- June 30 -- -- -- -- September 30 -- -- -- -- December 31 8 4 -- -- There were approximately 438 shareholders of record as of March 25, 1996. The Registrant has never declared a cash dividend on its Common Stock. The Board of Directors intends to retain all earnings for investment into the Registrant's business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The retention of these earnings will be used to help finance the Registrant's expansion programs. Although there are no restrictions on the Registrant's present or future ability to pay dividends, the Board of Directors has the discretionary power to make that determination. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF ------- ----------------------------------------------- OPERATION --------- 1. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- -12-
10KSB15th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
As of December 31, 1995 the Registrant held cash and cash equivalents of $507,889. The Registrant derives its revenues from a variety of sources, including customer services, equipment sales, consulting fees and from its scrap metal and recycling operations. The scrap metal and recycling operations comprised approximately 30% and 60% of the Registrant's income before provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. In the event the Registrant was to operate without revenue derived from its scrap metal and recycling operations, the Registrant's liquidity would be significantly decreased but would not materially impair the Registrant's ability to continue its operations and business. 2. Results of Operations --------------------- The following table presents, for the years indicated, the percentage relationship which certain captioned items in the Registrant's Consolidated Statements of Operations bear to total revenues and other pertinent data: [Download Table] Year ended December 31, --------------------------- 1995 1994 -------- -------- STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS DATA: Revenue ......................... 100.0% 100.0% Cost of Operations .............. 80.0% 85.2% Selling, general and administrative expenses ....... 16.2% 14.1% Income from operations .......... 3.8% 0.7% REVENUE ------- Revenue increased 31% from $23,379,994 in 1994 to $30,545,142 in 1995. This increase was due to a combination of volume increases involving the scrap recycling operations, the corrugated paper recycling operations and the CWS operations. COSTS OF OPERATIONS AND OPERATING INCOME ---------------------------------------- Cost of operations increased $4,497,080, or 23%, from $19,927,790 in 1994 to $24,424,870 in 1995. As a percentage of revenue, these costs were 85.2% and 80% in 1994 and 1995, respectively. This increase was directly related to the volume -13-
10KSB16th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
increases involving the scrap recycling operations, the corrugated paper recycling operations and the CWS operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $3,295,333 in 1994 to $4,958,077 in 1995. These expenses increased from 14.1% to 16.2% of revenue in 1994 and 1995, respectively. This increase was attributable to the promotion of sales growth and the increased cost associated with the continued improvement of the computer systems of the Registrant. The Registrant constantly reviews its selling, general and administrative costs throughout its businesses in an effort to maintain control of the level of spending for such costs.

(c) There are no contractual arrangements known to the Registrant, including any pledge of securities by the Registrant, by which the operation of its term may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Registrant. ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS -------- ---------------------------------------------- TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS --------------------------------------- The Registrant leases certain facilities from K & R in which Mr. Kletter is the President and principal shareholder. The Registrant enters into business transactions with K & R when the terms are beneficial to both parties [and not necessarily on terms that are equal to transactions that would be negotiated at arm's length]. In April 1992, the Registrant entered into a Management Agreement with K & R and an affiliated company owned by the Registrant's principal stockholder in which the Registrant is responsible for the management of the scrap and corrugated paper recycling for K & R. Under terms of the Management Agreement, the Registrant purchased certain rental equipment and scrap metal inventories from K & R, manages K & R's operations and in consideration thereof retains a percentage of the profits generated from the operations. The Management Agreement is renewable on a bi-annual basis and may be cancelled by either party upon 60 days written notice by the Registrant. The Management Agreement provides that the Registrant will retain 60% of the profits generated from K & R's operations rather than 90%. During 1994 and 1995, income derived under the Management Agreement resulted in income before provision for income taxes of $236,330 and $728,391, respectively, to the Registrant. In July, 1993 the Registrant entered into an agreement with Recycling Data Management Corporation ("RDMC") to purchase a 50% joint venture interest in an online bulletin board service designed for the recycling industry. For the year ended December 31, 1994 the RecycleLine reported a loss of $37,135. The Registrant decided to cease its involvement in this venture. On December 15, 1994 the Registrant assigned its interest in RecycleLine to RDMC. In addition, the Registrant loaned RDMC $25,000. The outstanding principal of this loan bears interest at the prime rate of interest as quoted by the Bank from time to time and is secured by RDMC's stock. The principal of this loan and accrued interest is payable on December 31, 1999. In exchange for the assignment and the loan, the Registrant received an option to purchase (i) a 40% joint venture interest in RecycleLine and/or (ii) stock of RDMC equal to 40% of the then outstanding stock of RDMC based on the book value of RDMC shares at the exercise date. The option exercise period extends through December 31, 1999. -21-

INDUSTRIAL SERVICES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 ================================================================= 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS - Industrial Services of America, Inc. (the Company) is engaged in providing products and services to meet the waste management needs of its customers related to waste equipment sales and rental, scrap recycling, service and consulting, and solid waste disposal. The Company's customers are located throughout the United States and Canada. CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include IES of America, Inc., an inactive wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, and generally collateral is not required. INVENTORIES - Inventories consist principally of waste equipment machinery and parts, and scrap materials held for resale and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first- out method) or market. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from three to ten years. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for income tax purposes. INCOME TAXES - The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
10KSB34th Page of 79TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 34th
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The significant components of deferred tax provision for income taxes are based on income and expenses included in the accompanying statement of operations. Differences between taxes so computed and taxes payable under applicable statutes and regulations, when material, are classified as deferred taxes arising from timing differences. ----------------------------------------------------------------- F-7
