                          -----------------------------

(Scottsdale, AZ - January 7, 2010) - Alanco Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ: ALAN),
announced today that it's StarTrak Systems subsidiary, the leading provider of
wireless monitoring and management services to the refrigerated ("Reefer")
transportation industry, has been awarded a $1 million expansion contract for
additional GenTrak genset-integrated monitoring equipment from a current major
refrigerated container customer. Gensets provide reefer power for refrigerated
containers while on land and StarTrak's GenTrak system allows the customer to
monitor genset fuel usage, reefer operational status and GPS location of
containers. The container owner is able to immediately identify certain events,
such as genset or reefer malfunction, and out of route situations, which could
negatively affect shipment delivery and quality.

Equipment delivery under the new contract has commenced, with approximately 75%
completion expected during the Company's current fiscal third quarter, ending
March 31, 2010. The completed order will also contribute an additional $200,000
in annual monitoring fees under a multi-year data services agreement.

Tom Robinson, StarTrak's Executive Vice President commented, "We are pleased to
continue to grow with our refrigerated container customers by providing
state-of-the-art wireless monitoring services that improve shipment delivery and
quality, with a significant contribution to our customers' ROI. This large
GenTrak expansion contract further extends our overall market leadership in
providing management services to the refrigerated transport industry."

solutions through its StarTrak Systems subsidiary. StarTrak Systems is the
dominant provider of tracking, monitoring and control services to the
