Industrial Services Of America (NASDAQ:IDSA)

Private investor increases ownership stake to over 5%. See 13D/A

The purpose of the share purchases is for investment in a leading scrap recyler.
The filer believes that IDSA management is doing an excellent job navigating
through a difficult stainless steel demand environment. IDSA's valuation
has been depressed by temporary earnings pressure, an uncertain macro picture,
equity market volatility and a lack of sponsorship.


Future purchases and sales of IDSA common stock are possible.
The filer hopes to work with IDSA's management and Board of Directors
to increase shareholder value and raise the company's visibility with
prospective investors.  Also, the filer will encourage certain members
of the Company's Board to make a more significant investment in the
Company's shares with personal funds in order to align their interests
more directly with the interests of shareholders. If these purchases donot take place relatively soon, filer intends to introduce a measure for
shareholder vote that would require minimum levels of stock ownership for
Board members.
