NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Note A - Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Alanco Technologies, Inc., an Arizona corporation ("Alanco" or "Company"), has in recent years reported three business segments: Data Storage, Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company implemented a plan to divest the operations of the Company's Data Storage segment and reinvest the proceeds into the Company's Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology segments. During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company expanded its divestiture plan to include the RFID Technology segment. Accordingly, the "Assets Held for Sale" and "Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale" presented in the attached balance sheets as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 consist of both the Data Storage and the RFID Technology segment assets and liabilities. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements. Such necessary adjustments consist of normal recurring items and the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's June 30, 2009 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to conform prior period financials to the presentation in the current reporting period. The reclassifications had no effect on net loss. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company has stock-based compensation plans and reports stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards based on the estimated grant date fair value. The value of the compensation cost is amortized at a minimum on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the award (generally the option vesting term). The Company estimates fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Assumptions used to estimate compensation expense are determined as follows: o Expected term is determined under the simplified method using an average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award as appropriate statistical data required to properly estimate the expected term was not available; o Expected volatility of award grants made under the Company's plans is measured using the historical daily changes in the market price of the Company's common stock over the expected term of the award; o Risk-free interest rate is to approximate the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and, 10 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued) o Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and management's analysis of potential future forfeitures. Long-lived assets and intangible assets - The Company reviews carrying values at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable through projected discounted cash flows. Fair value of financial instruments - The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value given their short-term nature or with regards to long-term notes payable based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. Recent Accounting Pronouncements With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended December 31, 2009, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us. In October 2008, the EITF issued guidance which addresses the accounting when entities enter into revenue arrangements with multiple payment streams for a single deliverable or a single unit of accounting. The EITF could not reach agreement on the transition of this guidance. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations. In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The guidance amends the other-than -temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to modify the requirement for recognizing other-than-temporary impairments and changes the existing impairment model and modifies the presentation and frequency of related disclosures. The Company has evaluated the impact of this guidance on our financial statements, and has determined that it did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations. In August 2009, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at fair value. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Company has evaluated the impact of this guidance on our financial statements, and has determined that it did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations. In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations. In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on certain revenue arrangements that include software elements which changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations. In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance on improving disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations. 11 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued) Note B - Stock-Based Compensation The Company has several employee stock option and officer and director stock option plans that have been approved by the shareholders of the Company. The plans require that options be granted at a price not less than market on date of grant and are more fully discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value of stock-based awards. Assumptions for awards of options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2009 were: Awards granted six months ended December 31, 2009 ----------------- Dividend yield 0% Expected volatility 62% Weighted-average volatility 62% Risk-free interest rate 4% Expected life of options (in years) 3.75 Weighted average grant-date fair value $0.15 The following table summarizes the Company's stock option activity during the first six months of fiscal 2010: 12 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

(2) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the closing price of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2009, for those awards that have an exercise price below the closing price as of December 31, 2009 of $0.33. (3) Options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2009 totaling 1,415,000 shares had an aggregate fair value of $205,200, or $.15 per option share granted. Note C - Inventories Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market. The composition of inventories as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 are summarized as follows: December 31, June 30, 2009 2009 ------------ ----------- (unaudited) Raw materials and purchased parts $ 1,535,600 $ 1,954,800 Work-in-process - - ------------ ----------- 1,535,600 1,954,800 Less reserves for obsolescence (600,000) (600,000) ------------ ----------- $ 935,600 $ 1,354,800 ============ =========== Note D - Assets Held For Sale During the quarter ended September 30, 2009 the Company expanded its divestiture plan by including RFID Technology segment assets along with Data Storage segment assets in its plan to divest certain assets and reinvest the proceeds into the Company's Wireless Asset Management segment. Accordingly, the "Assets Held for Sale" and "Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale" presented in the attached balance sheets as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 consist of both the Data Storage and the RFID Technology segment assets and liabilities. The reclassification of those segment assets and liabilities to "Assets Held for Sale" and "Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale" does not affect the reported net loss for the periods presented. The Company has entered into agreements with investment bankers to represent the Company in the sale of those assets and liabilities; however, a firm acceptable offer has not yet been received. In addition, the Company recorded, during the quarter ended December 31, 2009, an impairment charge relative to the Data Storage segment of $325,000, reducing "Assets Held for Sale" values to reflect the Company's latest assessment of sales value relative to recorded asset values and increasing the Loss from Discontinued Operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The Company is continuing to operate the segments and believes the net asset value recorded for the business segments, as adjusted, are appropriate. The operating results for Assets Held for Sale (Data Storage segment and RFID Technology segment) for the six months and three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows: 13 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued) If Discontinued Operations had been included in the continuing consolidated operating results for the three-months ended December 31, 2009, sales would have been $4,317,700 compared to $5,355,100 for the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $1,037,400 or 19.4%. Gross profit would have increased to $1,702,900, an increase of $297,200 or 21.1%, when compared to the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year. Selling, General and Administrative expenses would have increased $200,000 to $2,417,000 compared to $2,217,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The operating loss would have been ($983,800) compared to an operating loss of ($1,115,600) for the same quarter of the prior year, a decrease of $131,800 or 11.8%. The improved operating results were due primarily to improved margins (39.4% vs. 26.2%). If Discontinued Operations had been included in the continuing consolidated operating results for the six-months ended December 31, 2009, sales would have been $7,997,300 compared to $11,383,000 for the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $3,385,700 or 29.7%. The change in sales is primarily due to decreases in both the Data Storage segment and the RFID Technology segment. Gross profit would have increased to $3,255,600, an increase of $266,400 or 8.9%, when compared to the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year. Selling, General and Administrative expenses would have increased $231,200 or 5.2% to $4,669,000 from $4,467,800 in the six-months ended December 31, 2008. The operating loss would have been ($1,873,900) compared to an operating loss of ($1,785,500) for the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $85,500 or 5%. The improved operating results were due to improved margins (40.7% vs. $26.3%). The reclassification of the Data Storage and RFID Technology segments to Discontinued Operations does not affect the reported net loss for the periods presented as both segments' results are reflected in Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations. 16 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued) Note E - Deferred Revenue Deferred revenues at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 consist of the following: December 31, June 30, 2009 2009 ------------------- -------------------- (unaudited) Deferred revenue $ 528,100 $ 504,300 Less - current portion (258,700) (248,300) ------------------- -------------------- Deferred revenue - long term $ 269,400 $ 256,000 =================== ==================== Note F - Loss Per Share Basic and diluted loss per share of common stock was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. 17 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued) Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are options, warrants, and convertible debt that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than the prevailing market price. Dilutive securities are not included in the weighted average number of shares when inclusion would increase the earnings per share or decrease the loss per share. As of December 31, 2009, there were zero potentially dilutive securities included in the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding as inclusion of outstanding stock options, warrants, and stock issuable upon conversion of debt or preferred stock would be anti-dilutive. Note G - Equity During the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued a total of 1,491,600 shares of Class A Common Stock. Included were 50,000 shares issued for services valued at $19,000, 1,287,800 shares issued for payment of notes and interest valued at $510,000, and 153,800 Common shares issued in payment of certain Series D Preferred Dividend obligations, valued at $67,000. The Company also issued 14,900 shares, valued at $149,500, of Class D Preferred Stock as payment in-kind of certain Series D Preferred Dividend obligations. The Company also completed a private offering to accredited investors during the six months ended December 31, 2009, with the issuance of 205,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $4.50 per share, receiving $849,000, net of expenses. 7.3%, or 15,000, of the 205,000 Series E Preferred Shares were sold to a director and officer of the Company. On October 6, 2009, the Company's board of directors modified certain warrants, scheduled to expire on November 16, 2009, to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (issued in a previous preferred stock offering) by reducing the exercise price from $1.25 to $.50 per share. Warrants to purchase 90,000 Class A Common Shares, or 30%, were held by officers and directors of the Company. Prior to expiration, the Company extended the expiration date of the warrants to November 16, 2010. The Company declared and paid dividends-in-kind on the Company's Series B preferred shares through the issuance of 5,100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at $50,700. The Company's Preferred Stocks are more fully discussed in Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009. The value of employee stock-based compensation recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $259,400, compared to $240,500 recognized in the comparable six-month period of the prior fiscal year. See Note A - Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements for additional discussion of the Company's policies related to employee stock-based compensation. Note H - Related Party Transactions The Company has a line of credit agreement ("Agreement"), more fully discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009, with a private trust controlled by Mr. Donald Anderson, a greater than five percent shareholder of the Company and member of the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Anderson was also the holder of a $500,000 unsecured note issued by StarTrak Systems LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) and had disclosed beneficial ownership of approximately $1.69 million in Series D Preferred Stock owned by the trust and several related corporations. During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company amended the Agreement increasing the credit line to $5.7 million and converting the $1.69 million of Series D Preferred Stock, the $500,000 unsecured note and approximately $96,200 of accrued interest and fees into the line of credit balance. The transaction resulted in a $5,537,300 balance due under the Agreement, leaving $162,700 available which the company had drawn as of December 31, 2009. 18 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued) As discussed in the equity footnote above, during the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued a total of 153,800 shares of Class A Common Stock, valued at $67,000 and 14,900 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, valued at $149,500, in payment of Series D Preferred Stock dividends. Included were 16,100 shares of Class A Common Stock, or approximately 10.5%, valued at $7,500, issued to officers and directors of the Company. Officers and Directors of the Company were issued 13,100, or approximately 88%, of the 14,900 Series D Preferred shares issued as stock dividends. The Company also completed a private offering to accredited investors during the six months ended December 31, 2009, with the issuance of 205,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $4.50 per share, receiving $849,000, net of expenses. 7.3%, or 15,000, of the 205,000 Series E Preferred Shares were sold to a director and officer of the Company. On October 6, 2009, the Company's board of directors modified certain warrants, scheduled to expire on November 16, 2009, to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (issued in a previous preferred stock offering) by reducing the exercise price from $1.25 to $.50 per share. Warrants to purchase 90,000 Class A Common Shares, or 30%, were held by officers and directors of the Company. Prior to expiration, the Company extended the expiration date of the warrants to November 16, 2010. 19 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued) Note I - Line of Credit and Term Loan During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company modified its line of credit agreement with a private trust, initially entered into in June 2002, (the "Agreement") increasing the credit line from $3.25 million to $5.7 million. The Agreement amendment converted $1,691,100 of Series D Preferred Stock held by the Lender or related entities, $96,200 of accrued interest and fees due the trust and a $500,000 term loan (issued by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, StarTrak Systems LLC and held by the trust) into the line of credit balance, resulting in an available balance under the line of $162,700. Under the Agreement, the Company must maintain a minimum balance due of at least $2.5 million through the January 1, 2011 maturity date. Interest is accrued at the prime rate plus 3% for any balance up to $2 million and 12% on balances in excess of $2 million. At December 31, 2009, the Company had drawn the maximum balance under the Agreement. In November of 2009, the Company issued a $200,000 note payable to a private investor for additional working capital. The note is unsecured, bears interest at a rate of 10% and is due on March 31, 2010. The Company had amended its term loan agreement with ComVest Capital LLC in September 2009, reducing the principal payments required under the loan agreement for the months of September and October 2009 from $100,000 to $25,000 per month and for the months of November 2009 to January 2010 from $100,000 to $50,000. Under the amended agreement, ComVest has the right to convert any outstanding principal amount and/or accrued interest thereon into Class A Common Stock at a price of $.65 per share. In addition, ComVest has an option to (i) convert up to $100,000 of principal and interest due into Class A Common Stock at the conversion rate of $.3474 per share any time through October 31, 2009, (ii) convert an additional $100,000 at the conversion price of $.378 per share during the period November 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 and (iii) convert an additional $100,000 of principal and interest due into Class A Common Stock at a conversion price equal to ninety (90%) percent of the weighted average closing price for the Common Stock on the NASDAQ capital market for the five (5) trading days immediately before January 1, 2010, anytime between January 1, 2010 and February 28, 2010. The note shall bear interest at the rate of ten and one-half (10.5%) percent per annum, however, that during the continuance of any Event of Default, the interest rate hereunder shall increase to fifteen and one-half (15.5%) percent per annum. See subsequent footnote for additional amendments under the ComVest term loan agreement. On December 30, 2009, the Company again amended its term loan agreement with ComVest Capital LLC, modifying the principal payments required. Payments were restructured by eliminating a $50,000 payment due in January 2010 and stipulating the repayment of the remaining $850,000 balance at $100,000 per month for the months February through May 2010, with the final installment of $450,000 due on June 1, 2010. The amendment reduced the conversion price of up to $100,000 of principal and interest balance convertible anytime between January 1, 2010 and February 28, 2010 from ninety (90%) percent to eighty (80%) of the weighted average closing price for the Common Stock on the NASDAQ capital market for the five (5) trading days immediately before January 1, 2010. On September 16, 2009, the Company amended a note issued to Tenix Holding Inc. with a remaining principal balance of $360,000. The amended note converted the remaining $360,000 principal balance plus all accrued interest into 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company with a value of $410,000. The agreement further provides for the possible issuance of additional shares (not to exceed 150,000 shares) in the event the weighted average closing price for the shares of Alanco's Class A Common Stock for the period from October 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009 ("Measuring Period") is less than $.45 per share. The weighted average closing price for the period October 1, 2009 to November 30, 2009 was in excess of $.45 and therefore, no additional shares will be issued under the amended agreement. Note J - Litigation The Company was a plaintiff in litigation initiated by its subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC, against former employees and others for violation of certain non-disclosure covenants and for misappropriation of trade secrets. The 20 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued) Company also was a party to litigation arising from an expired property lease between the Company's former subsidiary, Arraid, Inc., and Arraid Property L.L.C., an Arizona limited liability company. Both actions have terminated and are more fully described below. StarTrak Systems Litigation - On July 12, 2007, the Company's subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC, commenced a lawsuit against Brian Hester, Satamatics, Ltd., Satamatics, Inc., and Farruhk Shahzad in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, as case number 07-3203(DRD), claiming misappropriation of trade secrets and violation of confidentiality agreements. Brian Hester and Farruhk Shahzad were previously employees of StarTrak, and the Company alleged that they employed and/or attempted to employ trade secrets of StarTrak in connection with their association with Satamatics in direct competition with StarTrak. StarTrak alleged that Satamatics misappropriated trade secrets relating to StarTrak's ReeferTrak product -- a GPS tracking, monitoring, and control system for transport refrigeration units -- in connection with Satamatics' competing ReeferMatics product. Each defendant expressly denied the allegations in the lawsuit. On November 17, 2009 the Company and all defendants (other than Brian Hester) entered into a settlement whereby all disputes among the parties were resolved and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. The settlement prohibits Satamatics or its affiliates from selling or marketing ReeferMatics in certain regions including North America, Europe, China and Australia through December 31, 2011. Satamatics has never concluded a sale of ReeferMatics in these or other regions. Arraid Litigation - On July 18, 2003, Arraid Property L.L.C., an Arizona Limited Liability Company ("Arraid LLC"), filed a complaint in the Arizona Superior Court in and for Maricopa County, Arizona (case number CV 2003-13999) against the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Arraid, Inc., alleging breach of lease and seeking substantial monetary damages in excess of $3 million. The suit relates to an expired lease agreement for property previously leased by Arraid. Following a trial, the Court found in favor of Arraid LLC against the Company with respect to certain factual findings resulting in damages owed by the Company in an amount of approximately $35,000, less than one percent of the amount sought by the plaintiff. The court determined that the plaintiff was the prevailing party, and awarded the plaintiff approximately $95,000 in attorney's fees and costs. The Company appealed the decision to the Arizona Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals vacated the award of attorney's fees against the Company as well as some of the damages awarded to the plaintiff, awarded the Company $60,000 in appeal legal fees and in excess of $10,000 in appeal costs, and returned the case to the trial court to determine the final judgment. The trial court has issued its final judgment in the matter resulting in a net judgment in favor of the Company and against Arraid LLC in the approximate amount of $50,000. The Company may also, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2009 there was no such litigation pending deemed material by the Company. Note K - Subsequent Events Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Company issued 137,200 shares of Class A Common Stock, valued at $38,400, and 1,200 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, valued at $11,800, as payment for $50,200 in Series D Preferred Stock dividends that had been accrued at December 31, 2009. None of the Class A Common Shares and all 1,200 of the Series D Preferred Stock issued as dividends were issued to officers and directors of the Company. ComVest Capital LLC, pursuant to a December 30, 2009 term loan amendment discussed in the equity footnote above, elected to convert a portion of its note into 200,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at a price equal to eighty (80%) of the five trading day weighted average closing price for the Common Stock on the NASDAQ capital market immediately prior to January 1, 2010. The value of the conversion, which was applied to the February 2010 payment, was $52,180, or $.26 per share. On January 13, 2010, the Company completed an additional private offering of 15,000 shares of the Company's Series E Convertible Preferred Stock ($4.50 per share stated value) to an accredited investor for $67,500. 21 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued) The Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") on January 18, 2010 with Seaside 88, LP, a Florida limited partnership ("Seaside"), relating to the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Stock Purchase Agreement requires the Company to issue and sell, and Seaside to purchase, up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock once every two (2) weeks, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, beginning on January 19, 2010 (the "Initial Closing") and ending on or about the date that is eighteen (18) weeks subsequent to the Initial Closing. The purchase price of the Common Stock at each closing is an amount equal to the lower of (i) the volume weighted average of actual trading prices of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (the "VWAP") for the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to a Closing Date multiplied by 0.86 and (ii) the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to a Closing Date multiplied by 0.88. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that the Company may terminate the agreement at any time, so long as all other obligations of the Company to Seaside, if any, have been retired or satisfied in full, upon ten days' prior written notice to Seaside. The price per share for the Initial Closing was $0.28486, and the Company raised gross proceeds of $56,972 at such Closing. The price per share for the second closing was $0.26282, and the Company raised gross proceeds of $52,564. The amounts to be raised in subsequent closings are not estimable as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Expenses related to the transactions amount to $25,000 for the first closing and $2,500 for each additional closing. The Offering is made pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-163288), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2009. The Company, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement relating to the Offering. In a separate transaction with Seaside, Seaside loaned the Company $350,000 pursuant to the Company's promissory note in said amount, payable on or before May 1, 2010 (the "Promissory Note"). If not sooner paid, the net proceeds of the sale of the Shares to Seaside will be applied to reduce the outstanding balance of the Promissory Note. On January 29, 2010, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that the Company was out of compliance with Nasdaq rules pertaining to voting rates relative to the issuance of 205,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock that has a heavier voting rate than the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock, in violation of Nasdaq's voting rights rule and policy set forth in Listing Rule 5640 and IM-5640 ("the Rule"). The Series E Preferred Stock issued allowed the investors to vote the number of votes equal to the number of Class A Common Shares into which the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible. Under the Rule the holder of Series E Preferred Stock would be limited to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock is convertible, or (ii) that number which is equal to the purchase price per share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock paid by the shareholder to the Company divided by the closing consolidated bid price of the Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately previous to the issuance of the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. The maximum voting effect, assuming the maximum votes by the Preferred E stockholders, would be less than 1% of the outstanding voting rights. The Company will submit a plan by February 15, 2010 to regain compliance with the NASDAQ Rule. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an extension of up to 105 calendar days from the date of this letter to evidence compliance. The Company is currently obtaining amendments to the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock purchase agreements modifying the voting rights to comply with the Rule. Once the amendments have been executed, the Company will amend the designation of the Series E Preferred Stock to comply with the Rule. Note L - Liquidity During the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported a Net Loss of approximately $2.3 million. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 the Company reported Net Loss of approximately $5.5 million. Although the Company raised additional capital during the current period, the significant losses raise doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. During fiscal 2010, the Company expects to meet its working capital and other cash requirements with its current cash reserves, cash generated from operations, its borrowing capacity under its credit facility, and other financing as required. While the Company believes that it will succeed in attracting additional capital and generate capital from operations, there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. As a result, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. 22 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, estimates are revalued, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These areas include allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuations, carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets, estimated profit and estimated percent complete on uncompleted contracts in process, stock-based compensation, income and expense recognition, income taxes, ongoing litigation, and commitments and contingencies. Our estimates are based upon historical experience, observance of trends in particular areas, information and/or valuations available from outside sources and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Accounting policies are considered critical when they are significant and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. We considered the following to be critical accounting policies: Principles of consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Revenue recognition - The Company recognizes revenue, net of anticipated returns, at the time products are shipped to customers, or at the time services are provided. Revenue from material long-term contracts that extend over a reporting period in all business segments are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method for individual contracts, commencing when significant costs are incurred and adequate estimates are verified for substantial portions of the contract to where experience is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable accuracy. Revenues are recognized in the ratio that costs incurred bear to total estimated costs. Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements would result in revisions to cost and income, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions were determined. Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontracts, labor costs and those direct and indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract is known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is accrued. Long-lived assets and intangible assets - The Company reviews carrying values at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable through projected discounted cash flows. Fair value of financial instruments - The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value given their short-term nature or with regards to long-term notes payable based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. Results of Operations (A) Three months ended December 31, 2009 versus three months ended December 31, 2008 Net Sales Net sales from continuing operations for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 were $3,627,200, an increase of $ 237,600, or 7.0%, compared to net sales of $3,389,600 reported for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The increase resulted from increased hardware shipments during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2008. 24 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Although revenues are affected by general economic conditions and may fluctuate on a quarter to quarter comparison, management believes that both hardware sales and monitoring revenues will continue to increase throughout fiscal year 2010 through new product introductions and increased market penetration. Gross Profit Gross profit from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $1,467,900, an increase of $525,500, or 55.8% compared to $942,400 in gross profit reported for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The gross profit increase was due to improved margins in both hardware sales and monitoring services. Gross margin increased to 40.5% compared to 27.8% reported in the same period of the prior year. The increase in both gross profit and gross margin was due to reduced warranty costs related to an early version of ReeferTrak product that negatively effected margins in the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and the completion of low margin hardware shipments required to convert several major customers from analog to digital products. Gross margin can be impacted in all business segments by economic conditions and specific market pressures. As a result, the changes in gross margins reported for the current quarter are not considered to be trends. Management does expect current fiscal year gross margins will continue to improve compared to the same periods in the prior year, although the gross margin improvement may not be as significant as was reported for the second quarter ended December 31, 2009. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 were $1,373,700, a $51,500, or 3.9%, increase when compared to the $1,322,200 reported for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase resulted primarily from increased sales expenses. Corporate expenses reported for the current quarter of $269,700 represents a decrease of $ 34,800 compared to $304,500 reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Corporate expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 decreased primarily due to a decrease in payroll expense as a result of reduced staffing. Amortization of stock-based compensation reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 decreased to $70,200, a decrease of $43,000, or 38%. The reduction relates primarily to the Company's election to accelerate vesting of certain officer, director and employee stock options in prior periods. Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter increased to $134,500, an increase of $13,900, or 11.5% due to additional production equipment and leasehold improvements acquired in November 2008 at the Company's facilities in Morris Plains, New Jersey. Operating Loss Operating Loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was ($380,200) compared to an Operating Loss of ($918,100) reported for the same quarter of the prior year, an improvement of $537,900, or 58.6%. The improved operating results are due to a significant improvement in gross margins. Other Income and Expense Net interest expense for the quarter increased to $205,400, an increase of $ 71,700, or 53.6%, compared to net interest expense of $133,700 for the same quarter in the prior year. The increase was due to increased borrowing compared to the comparable quarter ended December 31, 2008. Loss From Continuing Operations Loss from continuing operations for the quarter decreased $466,500, or 44.3% to ($586,700) from ($1,053,200) in the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The improvement is primarily due to improved gross profit as a result of improved sales and gross margins. Discontinued Operations The Company reported a loss from Discontinued Operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 of ($603,600), an increase of ($406,100) compared to a loss from Discontinued Operations of ($197,500) reported for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The significant increase in loss from discontinued operations resulted primarily from a $325,000 impairment charge the Company recorded to reflect the anticipated reduced value of the Data Storage segment and a reduction in gross profits in the RFID segment operations due to delays in the previously announced project to provide RFID inmate tracking systems for nineteen U.S. Immigration Detention Facilities. This project is expected to resume and accelerate in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. 25 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (Loss) Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Dividends, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA) The Company believes that earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), is an important measure used by management to measure performance. EBITDA may also be used by certain investors to compare and analyze our operating results between accounting periods. However, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows or other financial statement data prepared in accordance with US GAAP or as a measure of our performance or liquidity. EBITDA from Continuing Operations for Alanco's 2010 fiscal year second quarter was a loss of ($246,800) an improvement of $552,000 when compared to an EBITDA loss of ($798,800) for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. EBITDA before Stock-based compensation and Corporate Expense for the current quarter was $93,100, an improvement of $474,200, when compared to a loss of ($381,100) for the comparable quarter of the prior year. A reconciliation of the EBITDA calculations is presented below: EBITDA RECONCILIATION to NET LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS (Unaudited) 3 months ended 3 months ended December 31, December 31, 2009 2008 --------------- --------------- EBITDA before Stock-based compensation and Corporate Expense $ 93,100 $ (381,100) Corporate Expense (269,700) (304,500) Stock-based compensation (70,200) (113,200) --------------- --------------- EBITDA (246,800) (798,800) Net interest expense (205,400) (133,700) Depreciation and amortization (134,500) (120,600) --------------- ---------------- NET LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS $ (586,700) $ (1,053,100) =============== ================ Dividends Dividend expense for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $117,700, a decrease of $11,500, or 8.9%, compared to the $129,200 in preferred stock dividends recorded in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease resulted primarily due to a reduction of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding during the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 amounted to ($1,308,000), or ($.04) per share, a $71,900 reduction when compared to a loss of ($1,379,900), or ($.04) per share, in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The Company anticipates improved future operating results, however, actual results may be affected by unfavorable economic conditions and reduced capital spending budgets. If the economic conditions in the United States deteriorate or if a wider global economic slowdown occurs, Alanco may experience a material adverse impact on its operating results and business conditions. 26 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (B) Six months ended December 31, 2009 versus six months ended December 31, 2008 Net Sales Net sales from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $6,604,100, a decrease of $98,200, or 1.5%, compared to net sales of $6,702,300 reported for the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease resulted from reduced hardware shipments under major contracts during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, ended September 30, 2009, compared to the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2009. Although revenues are affected by general economic conditions and may fluctuate on a quarter to quarter comparison, management believes that both hardware sales and monitoring revenues will increase throughout fiscal year 2010 through new product introductions and increased market penetration. Gross Profit Gross profit from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $2,857,100, an increase of $1,110,200, or 63.6% compared to $1,746,900 in gross profit reported for the six month period ended December 31, 2008. The gross profit increase was due to improved margins in both hardware sales and monitoring services. Gross margin increased to 43.3% compared to 26.1% reported in the same period of the prior year. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to reduced warranty costs related to an early version of ReeferTrak product, the completion of shipments required to convert several major customers from analog to digital hardware products and a one time credit to data services cost of sales related to a vendor adjustment. Gross margin can be impacted by economic conditions and specific market pressures. As a result, the changes in gross margins reported for the current quarter are not considered to be trends. Management does expect current fiscal year gross margins will continue to improve compared to the same periods in the prior year, although the gross margin improvement may not be as significant as was reported for the six month period ended December 31, 2009. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $2,685,000, a $23,100, or 1%, increase when compared to the $2,661,900 reported for the comparable period of the prior year. Corporate expenses reported for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $430,500, an increase of $123,600, or 40.3%, compared to $306,900 reported for the six months ended December 31, 2008. Corporate expenses in the prior year were unusually low due to an approximate $297,000 credit from the recovery of legal fees relative to the TSIN lawsuit that was settled during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The current period corporate expenses also included credits related to lawsuits. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Arizona Court of Appeals vacated an award of attorney's fees and damages awarded to the Plaintiff in the Arriad Property lawsuit resulting in the reversal of related accruals in the amount of $126,800. If both quarters were adjusted for the unusual credits, the corporate expenses would reflect an increase of $46,600, or 7.7%. Amortization of stock-based compensation reported for the six months ended December 31, 2009 increased to $239,000, an increase of $12,700, or 5.6%. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended December 31, 2009 increased to $270,100, an increase of $33,800, or 14.3% due to additional production equipment and leasehold improvements at the Company's facilities in Morris Plains, New Jersey. Operating Loss Operating Loss for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was ($767,500) compared to an Operating Loss of ($1,684,500) reported for the same period of the prior year, an improvement of $917,000, or a reduction of 54.4%. The improved operating results are due primarily to significant improvement in gross margins offset by increases in corporate expenses. Other Income and Expense Net interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2009 decreased to $379,900, a decrease of $132,200, or 25.8%, compared to net interest expense of $512,100 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to a one-time accelerated amortization of deferred loan costs of approximately $216,000 recorded in the six months ended December 31, 2008 related to the prepayment on the ComVest term loan. Excluding the accelerated payment, interest expense actually increased by $83,800, or 28.3% due to additional borrowing during the current period compared to the prior year. 27 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. The Company reported a reduction in Other Expense from ($184,800) in the first six month of the prior fiscal year to ($1,900) reported in the current six month period ended December 31, 2009. Other Expense for the prior year period included an $187,500 charge related to reduction in estimated value of the Company's 8.9% investment in TSIN as explained below. The operations of TSI were acquired in May of 2002 by the issuance of 2.4 million (post October 16, 2006 reverse split) shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock and the assumptions of certain specific liabilities. In anticipation of the transaction, the Company had acquired approximately 8.9% of the then outstanding shares of TSIN. TSIN had stated it was its intent to liquidate enough shares of the Alanco stock to pay off all TSIN liabilities and to distribute the remaining Alanco shares to the TSIN stockholders. To reflect the 8.9% investment in TSIN subsequent to the acquisition, the Company estimated that approximately 2.25 million shares would be remaining after payment of all TSIN liabilities and that an 8.9% ownership would receive approximately 200,000 shares upon distribution. Therefore, the Company recorded 200,000 treasury shares valued at market price on the transaction date. On January 30, 2003, a shareholder of TSIN filed suit naming as defendants the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, ATSI. The complaint set forth various allegations and sought damages arising out of the Company's acquisition of substantially all of the assets of TSIN. Eventually, the lawsuit was transferred to TSIN who became the plaintiff and continued the legal process until September 2007 when the parties to the lawsuit entered into a Settlement Agreement. From 2003 through September 2007, TSIN incurred significant legal expenses associated with the lawsuit, which reduced the number of Alanco shares available to TSIN shareholders upon distribution. To reflect that reduction in investment value of the Company's 8.9% ownership in TSIN, the Company reduced the estimated number of treasury shares to be acquired upon distribution from 200,000 shares to 100,000 shares and recorded a charge to other expenses of $187,500 during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Loss From Continuing Operations Loss from continuing operations for the six months decreaed $1,232,100, or 51.7% to ($1,149,300) from ($2,381,400) in the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The improvement is primarily due to improved gross profit as a results of improved sales and gross margins. Discontinued Operations The Company reported a loss from Discontinued Operations for the six months ended December 31, 2009 of ($1,106,400), a significant increase compared to the reported loss from discontinued operations of ($101,000) reported for the comparable period of the prior year. The significant increase resulted primarily from a $325,000 impairment charge that the Company recorded to reflect the anticipated reduced value of the data storage segment and a significant reduction in revenues in the RFID segment operations due to delays in the previously announced project to provide RFID inmate tracking systems for nineteen U.S. Immigration Detention Facilities. This project is expected to resume and accelerate during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. (Loss) Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Dividends, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA) The Company believes that earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), is an important measure used by management to measure performance. EBITDA may also be used by certain investors to compare and analyze our operating results between accounting periods. However, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows or other financial statement data prepared in accordance with US GAAP or as a measure of our performance or liquidity. EBITDA from Continuing Operations for Alanco's six months ended December 31, 2009 was a loss of ($499,300) an improvement of $1,133,700, or a 74% reduction, when compared to an EBITDA loss of ($1,633,000) for the same period of the prior fiscal year. EBITDA before Stock-based compensation and Corporate Expense for the current six month period was $170,200, an improvement of $1,270,000, when compared to a loss of ($1,099,800) for the comparable period of the prior year. A reconciliation of the EBITDA calculations is presented below: 28 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. EBITDA RECONCILIATION to NET LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS (Unaudited) 6 months ended 6 months ended December 31, December 31, 2009 2008 --------------- --------------- EBITDA before Stock-based compensation and Corporate Expense $ 170,200 $ (1,099,800) Corporate Expense (430,500) (306,900) Stock-based compensation (239,000) (226,300) --------------- --------------- EBITDA (499,300) (1,633,000) Net interest expense (379,900) (512,100) Depreciation and amortization (270,100) (236,300) --------------- --------------- NET LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS $ (1,149,300) $ (2,381,400) =============== =============== Dividends Dividend expense for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $258,200, an increase of $38,000, or 17.3%, over the $220,200 in preferred stock dividends recorded in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The increase resulted primarily due to additional Series D Preferred Stock outstanding during the first six months of fiscal year 2010 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2008. Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders for the six months ended December 31, 2009 amounted to ($2,513,900), or ($.08) per share, an $188,700 reduction when compared to a loss of ($2,702,600), or ($.09) per share, in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The Company anticipates improved future operating results, however, actual results may be affected by unfavorable economic conditions and reduced capital spending budgets. If the economic conditions in the United States deteriorate or if a wider global economic slowdown occurs, Alanco may experience a material adverse impact on its operating results and business conditions. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's current assets at December 31, 2009 exceeded current liabilities by $4,044,100, resulting in a current ratio of 1.56 to 1. The comparable working capital at June 30, 2009 was $5,209,500, reflecting a current ratio of 1.74 to 1. The reduction in working capital at December 31, 2009 versus June 30, 2009 resulted from reduced inventories and a reduction in net Assets held for sale. Consolidated accounts receivable of $2,300,500 at December 31, 2009 (including both continuing and discontinued operations) reflects a small decrease compared to the $2,303,000 reported as consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2009. If we review Wireless Asset Management segment's balances separately, accounts receivables have increased from $1,484,600 at June 30, 2009 to $2,011,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $526,400, or 35.5%. The Wireless Asset Management account receivable balance at December 31, 2009 reflects 56 days sales in receivables compared to 40 days sales in receivable at June 30, 2009. The increase resulted from approximately 61% of the second fiscal quarter hardware sales in the month of December 2009 compared to 34.7% recorded in the last month of the comparable quarter of the prior year. 29 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Inventories at December 31, 2009 amounted to $935,600, a decrease of $419,200, or 30.9%, when compared to $1,354,800 at June 30, 2009. The inventory balance at December 31, 2009 reflects only the Wireless Asset Management segment and represents an inventory turnover of 8 at December 31, 2009 compared to 7 as of June 30, 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Company had fully drawn available funds under a $5.7 million line of credit agreement. See Note J - Line of Credit and Term Loan for additional discussion of the existing line of credit agreement. Cash used in operations for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 was $1,159,900, a decrease of $110,400, or 8.7%, when compared to cash used in operations of $1,270,300 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in cash used in operating activities during the six-month period resulted primarily from a decrease in net loss and the net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by an increase in customer advances. During the six-months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported cash used by investing activities of $10,900 compared to $100,400 reported for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in cash used by investing activities is the result of a reduction in the purchase of property, plant and equipment and a reduction in patent renewal costs compared to the prior fiscal year period ended December 30, 2008. Cash provided by financing activities for the six-months ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $1,127,800 compared to $1,198,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $70,200, or 5.9%. The decrease in financing activity resulted primarily from a net decrease in repayment of borrowings offset by a decrease in proceeds from the sale of equity instruments as compared to the prior period. The Company believes that additional cash resources may be required for working capital to achieve planned operating results for fiscal year 2010 and, if working capital requirements exceed current availability, the Company anticipates raising capital through additional borrowing, the exercise of stock options and warrants and/or the sale of stock in a private placement. The additional capital would supplement the projected cash flows from operations and the line of credit agreement in place at December 31, 2009. If additional working capital is required and the Company is unable to raise the required additional capital, it may materially affect the ability of the Company to achieve its financial plan. The Company has raised a significant amount of capital in the past and believes it has the ability, if needed, to raise the additional capital to fund the planned operating results for fiscal year 2010. While the Company believes that it will succeed in attracting additional capital and generate capital from operations from its StarTrak acquisition, there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Item 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Not applicable to smaller reporting company. Item 4T - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on their evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer concluded that, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, because of the material weaknesses identified as of June 30, 2009. Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses identified as of June 30, 2009, management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. 30 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company is continuing the process of developing and implementing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses as described in Item 9(A)T of our June 30, 2009 Form 10-K. The Company has taken or will be taking the following actions to improve internal control over financial reporting: o During the remaining period through the year ending June 30, 2010, we intend to devote resources to properly assess, and remedy if needed, our control environment and entity-level controls. o During the remaining period through the year ending June 30, 2010, we will enhance our risk assessment, internal control design and documentation and develop a plan for testing in accordance with applicable standards. o The Company plans to continue to enhance the staffing and competency level within the department with training and periodic reviews. o The Company has implemented additional review procedures relative to payments to ST Wireless, an India based company that provides software engineering services to StarTrak Systems LLC, to enhance internal controls relative to issues discussed in the Company's Form 10-K filed on September 30, 2009. In addition, the following are specific remedial actions to be taken for matters related to inventory transactions including significant and non-routine adjustments. o The Company requires that all significant or non-routine inventory adjustments be thoroughly researched, analyzed, and documented by qualified warehouse personnel, and to provide for complete review of the resulting transaction by the Warehouse Supervisor prior to recording the transactions. In addition, all major transactions will require the additional review and approval of the Materials Manager. o Develop and implement focused monitoring controls and other procedures in the Internal Audit function. In light of the aforementioned material weakness, management conducted a thorough review of all significant or non-routine adjustments for the six month period ended December 31, 2009. As a result of this review, management believes that there are no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact and, to the best of its knowledge, believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations for the Company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION 31 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company was a plaintiff in litigation initiated by its subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC, against former employees and others for violation of certain non-disclosure covenants and for misappropriation of trade secrets. The Company also was a party to litigation arising from an expired property lease between the Company's former subsidiary, Arraid, Inc., and Arraid Property L.L.C., an Arizona limited liability company. Both actions have terminated and are more fully described below. StarTrak Systems Litigation - On July 12, 2007, the Company's subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC, commenced a lawsuit against Brian Hester, Satamatics, Ltd., Satamatics, Inc., and Farruhk Shahzad in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, as case number 07-3203(DRD), claiming misappropriation of trade secrets and violation of confidentiality agreements. Brian Hester and Farruhk Shahzad were previously employees of StarTrak, and the Company alleged that they employed and/or attempted to employ trade secrets of StarTrak in connection with their association with Satamatics in direct competition with StarTrak. StarTrak alleged that Satamatics misappropriated trade secrets relating to StarTrak's ReeferTrak product -- a GPS tracking, monitoring, and control system for transport refrigeration units -- in connection with Satamatics' competing ReeferMatics product. Each defendant expressly denied the allegations in the lawsuit. On November 17, 2009 the Company and all defendants (other than Brian Hester) entered into a settlement whereby all disputes among the parties were resolved and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. The settlement prohibits Satamatics or its affiliates from selling or marketing ReeferMatics in certain regions including North America, Europe, China and Australia through December 31, 2011. Satamatics has never concluded a sale of ReeferMatics in these or other regions. Arraid Litigation - On July 18, 2003, Arraid Property L.L.C., an Arizona Limited Liability Company ("Arraid LLC"), filed a complaint in the Arizona Superior Court in and for Maricopa County, Arizona (case number CV 2003-13999) against the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Arraid, Inc., alleging breach of lease and seeking substantial monetary damages in excess of $3 million. The suit relates to an expired lease agreement for property previously leased by Arraid. Following a trial, the Court found in favor of Arraid LLC against the Company with respect to certain factual findings resulting in damages owed by the Company in an amount of approximately $35,000, less than one percent of the amount sought by the plaintiff. The court determined that the plaintiff was the prevailing party, and awarded the plaintiff approximately $95,000 in attorney's fees and costs. The Company appealed the decision to the Arizona Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals vacated the award of attorney's fees against the Company as well as some of the damages awarded to the plaintiff, awarded the Company $60,000 in appeal legal fees and in excess of $10,000 in appeal costs, and returned the case to the trial court to determine the final judgment. The trial court has issued its final judgment in the matter resulting in a net judgment in favor of the Company and against Arraid LLC in the approximate amount of $50,000. The Company may also, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2009 there was no such litigation pending deemed material by the Company. Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS During the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 5,100 Shares of Series B Preferred Stock as in-kind dividend payments, 16,600 shares of Series D Preferred Stock as in-kind dividend payments, and a total of 1,491,600 shares of Class A Common Stock, including 50,000 shares for services rendered, 1,287,800 shares issued for payment of notes and interest and 153,800 issues in payment of Series D Preferred Stock dividends. 32 ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
