NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 September 30, 2003 and the results of its operations and changes in cash flow for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Additional information, including the audited December 31, 2002 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, 2002 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
NOTE 2 – ESTIMATES
 
In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management must make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as affecting the disclosures provided. Future results could differ from the current estimates.
 
NOTE 3 – RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
NOTE 4 – LONG TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE TO BANK
 
The terms of the Company’s bank debt place certain operational and financial position requirements on the Company. As of, and for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with these requirements.

NOTE 5 – RECENTLY ENACTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB interpretation FIN 45, "Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others", effective in the quarter beginning January 1, 2003. This interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.
 
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The objective of this interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (VIE) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company’s consolidated financial statements, effective in the quarter beginning October 1, 2003. A company that holds variable interests in an entity will need to consolidate the entity if the company’s interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, if they occur. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The Company has not yet fully evaluated the impact of adopting the standard.
 
In addition, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) recently issued two new accounting standards, Statement 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities, both of which became effective in the quarter beginning July 1, 2003. Because the Company does not have these instruments, the new accounting standards will not materially affect the Company’s operating results or financial condition.
 
NOTE 6 – 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 segments are determined by the products and services that each offers. The recycling segment generates its revenues based on buying and selling of ferrous, non-ferrous and fiber scrap; CWS’s revenues consist of charges to customers for waste disposal services; and WESSCO sales and lease income comprise the primary source of revenue for this segment.
 
The Company evaluates segment performance based on gross profit or loss and the evaluation process for each segment includes only direct expenses and selling, general and administrative costs, omitting any other income and expense and income taxes.

NOTE 7 - Stock Option Information
 
Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company has elected to account for its employee stock options under APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for employee options. Had compensation cost for employee options been determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30 would have been as follows:

NOTE 8 - Income (Loss) per Share
 
Income (loss) per common share is calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." The Company calculates basic earnings per common share using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Outstanding shares for purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share includes the weighted average number of shares outstanding for basic earnings per share, plus the diluted effect of any common share equivalents such as options in the calculation. The average fair market stock price for the Company exceeded the strike price, therefore a portion of common share equivalents outstanding would be dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are different.

NOTE 8 - Income (Loss) per Share (continued)

Financial condition at September 30, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002
 
        Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,055,626 to $574,402 as of September 30, 2003 compared to $1,630,028 as of December 31, 2002. This is primarily due to the payment in full of the senior revolving credit facility as it decreased from $1,750,000 as of December 31, 2002 to $0 as of September 30, 2003. Net cash from operating activities increased $708,456 to $2,228,799 as of September 30, 2003 compared to $1,520,343 as of September 30, 2002. This is primarily due to an increase in deposits of approximately $350,000 of recycling commodity sales collected from vendors during the last part of the quarter that will be distributed to customers after September 30, 2003.
 
        Accounts receivable trade increased $3,081,539 or 45.3% to $9,885,395 as of September 30, 2003 compared to $6,803,856 as of December 31, 2002. This is due to an increase in revenues per the customer locations while maintaining a consistent customer base in the Management Services segment as well as an increase in the volume of shipments in the Recycling segment.
 
        Inventories decreased $540,155 or 28.7% to $1,343,007 as of September 30, 2003 compared to $1,883,162 as of December 31, 2002. This decrease is due to a higher volume of shipments in the Recycling segment for the first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. It is offset slightly by higher commodity purchase prices. Commodity purchase prices increased approximately 23% for the ferrous division and 5% for the nonferrous division in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2002. This has increased the inventory carrying cost per unit as of September 30, 2003. Volume of shipments in the ferrous division have increased approximately 18% in the first nine months compared to the same period in 2002. Volume of shipments in the nonferrous division have remained the same for the first nine months compared to the same period in 2002.
 
        Accounts payable trade increased $2,287,093 or 26.4% to $10,963,380 as of September 30, 2003 compared to $8,676,287 as of December 31, 2002. Accounts payable trade increased due to an increase in expenses per the customer locations while maintaining a consistent customer base in the Management Services segment as well as an increase in the volume of commodity purchases in the Recycling segment.

        Long-term debt increased $331,688 to $3,969,276 as of September 30, 2003 compared to $3,637,588 as of December 31, 2002. Long-term debt increased $1,515,779 due to the purchase of the 7110 Grade Lane property and a vehicle. During the third quarter, four Mack trucks, several trailers and one portable hydraulic shear were sold. From these transactions, $600,000 was used to pay down long-term debt. Long-term debt decreased $584,091 due to monthly principal payments.
 
        Working capital increased $42,763 to a deficit of $463,731 as of September 30, 2003 compared to a deficit of $506,494 as of December 31, 2002. These deficits are due to the use of working capital to finance the purchase of property and equipment rather than using long-term debt in 2003 and 2002.
 
Item 3:    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
        There is market risk in our recycling segment, since it is driven by fluctuating commodity prices. Management mitigates this risk by selling our product on a monthly contract basis, insulating the Registrant from large fluctuations in the commodity prices.
 
ITEM 4:    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a)       Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
        Based on the evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Registrant of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2003, it has been concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purposes contemplated by Rule 13a-14 (e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
(b)       Changes in internal controls.
 
        There have been no significant changes to the Registrant's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to September 30, 2003.
