Item 1.01       ENTRY INTO a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 23, 2017, Industrial Services of America, Inc. (the "Company") entered into two agreements (referred to as the “Handler Agreement” and the “Crane Agreement”) with K&R, LLC ("K&R"), each for the purchase of equipment to be used in the operation of the Company’s business.  

Under the Handler Agreement, the Company purchased a hydraulic scrap handler from K&R for a purchase price of $90,000, with a $9,000 down payment and a 24-month promissory note ("Handler Note") in the face principal amount of the remaining $81,000.  The Handler Note is interest free and provides for payments in equal monthly installments of $3,375. Under the Handler Note, payments are to commence on July 1, 2017. Upon a default, the Handler Note will bear interest at 1% per annum.

Under the Crane Agreement, the Company purchased a 2011 Komatsu crane from K&R for a purchase price of $60,000, with a $12,000 down payment and a 24-month promissory note ("Crane Note") in the face principal amount of the remaining $48,000. The Crane Note is interest free and provides for payments in equal monthly installments of $2,000. Under the Crane Note, payments are to commence on July 1, 2017. Upon a default, the Crane Note will bear interest at 1% per annum.

The Crane Note and the Handler Note are each secured by a security interest in the subject equipment and any proceeds the Company derives from the equipment.  

K&R is wholly-owned by Kletter Holdings LLC, the sole member of which was Harry Kletter, our founder and former Chief Executive Officer. After Mr. Kletter's passing in January 2014, our Chairman of the Board and interim Chief Executive Officer, Orson Oliver, assumed the roles of executor of Mr. Kletter’s estate and President of Kletter Holdings LLC. Mr. Kletter’s estate, K&R and the Harry Kletter Family Limited Partnership, collectively, beneficially owned in excess of 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding stock.

The Company is involved in various other transactions with K&R, all as more fully described in the section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 titled, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”  The 2016 Form 10-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2017.
