ITEM 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

On August 6, 2019, Industrial Services of America, Inc. (the "Company") received a written notification (the "Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Rules for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the 30 consecutive business days from June 20, 2019, to August 5, 2019, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a 180-calendar-day compliance period, or until February 3, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. During the compliance period, the Company's shares of common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To regain compliance, the closing bid of the Company's shares of common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-calendar-day grace period.

If the Company is not in compliance by February 3, 2020, the Company may be afforded a second 180-calendar-day grace period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's shares of common stock will be subject to delisting. Under such circumstances, the Company would have the right to appeal a determination to delist its common stock, and the common stock would remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market until the completion of the appeal process.

The Company intends to monitor its closing bid price for its common stock between now and February 3, 2020, and will consider any such available options to resolve the Company's non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as may be necessary. The Company has made no determination regarding any action or response to the Notice at this time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
