                   Alanco Receives NASDAQ Listing Notification
                       And Initiates Formal Appeal Process

(Scottsdale, AZ - August 4, 2006) - Alanco Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALAN),
said today that it received a Staff Determination letter from NASDAQ on August
2, 2006, indicating that the Company fails to comply with the minimum bid price
requirements for continued listing as set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(4), and that its securities may be subject to delisting from the NASDAQ
Capital Market. The Company has appealed the Staff determination and requested a
hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel ("Panel"). Under NASDAQ
Marketplace Rules, a request for a hearing stays the delisting action pending
the issuance of a written determination by the Panel. There can be no assurance
that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. Pending a
decision by the Panel, the Company's common stock will remain listed on the
NASDAQ Capital Market.

Alanco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Robert R. Kauffman, commented, "The
NASDAQ Marketplace Rules provide a formal process for Alanco to appeal the
delisting determination and present our plan to regain minimum bid price
compliance. The Company's management and Board of Directors are committed to
maintaining our NASDAQ listing. We believe that the tremendous new value added
by our recent StarTrak acquisition, combined with emerging developments in our
TSI PRISM business, will begin to be reflected in our share price, as well as
provide significant credibility to our compliance plan. I should also add that,
if necessary, we do have stand-by shareholder authority to effect a reverse
split to meet NASDAQ's minimum $1.00 bid price listing requirement."
