Industrial Services of America, Inc. Management's Comments

With the release of our earnings for the third quarter of 2006, we are pleased to announce that we have now recorded fourteen consecutive profitable quarters. Our earnings continue to be strong. Compared with the prior year's third quarter, our current quarter net income increased 35% due to the reduction in the overall effective tax rate for the year. For the first nine months of 2006, our earnings have increased 113% over the nine months of 2005. Our outlook for the fourth quarter remains positive.

Our ISA Recycling segment continues to flourish as segment revenues increased 41% for the current quarter compared to the quarter of 2005. Operating levels and shipments were approximately the same for the current quarter compared to the quarter last year in our ferrous and nonferrous processing facilities. Recycling segment revenues increased 53% for the first nine months of this year compared to the same period last year as operating levels and shipments were up significantly during the first six months of 2006.

This sustained profitability continues to place us in a stronger financial position, allowing for greater flexibility to adjust to changing economic market conditions. Our goal is to remain dedicated to the recycling, management services, and equipment industry while sustaining steady growth at an acceptable profit, adding to the net worth of the Company, and providing positive returns for our stockholders.
