CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

Item 4. On July 10, 1997 Industrial Services of America, Inc. (the "Company")
advised Mather, Hamilton & Company ("Mather") that the Company was discontinuing
Mather's services as the Company's independent auditor. The decision to
discontinue the services of Mather was approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company by written consent.

Mather reports on the financial statements of the Company for the past five (5)
years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were the
reports qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

There were no disagreements between the Company and Mather during their service
and subsequent interim periods preceding such dismissal on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or audit
scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction
of Mather, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports.
