            ---------------------------------------------------------
 Leading Food Service Distributor to Complete ReeferTrak Deployment by May, 2010

(Scottsdale, AZ - February 11, 2010) - Alanco Technologies, Inc.,
(NASDAQ: ALAN), announced today that it's StarTrak Systems subsidiary, the
leading provider of wireless monitoring services for the refrigerated transport
industry, has been awarded a contract by Cheney Brothers, Inc. for deployment of
its ReeferTrak monitoring system on the company's nationwide fleet of 400
refrigerated trailers. Cheney Brothers is one of the largest, fastest growing,
and most progressive food service distributors in the Southeast United States
with annual revenues exceeding $700 million. Utilizing ReeferTrak information
management services will enable Cheney Brothers to expand its service commitment
to its extensive network of food service customers by assuring absolute
temperature compliance and on-time delivery. The company expects to complete
fleetwide deployment of ReeferTrak by May, 2010.

Cheney Brothers utilizes multi-compartment trailers to provide their customers
with a variety of refrigerated product. ReeferTrak will monitor each
compartment's shipment temperature settings versus actual temperatures at 15
minute intervals, from origin to customer destination, with both graphical and
tabular temperature displays immediately available upon arrival at destination.
ReeferTrak's capability of immediate alarm condition notification can be
supplemented with remotely-set independent temperature alerts for every
shipment, allowing Cheney to have instant understanding of any out of range
temperature condition and capability to remotely resolve reefer operational
problems.

Cecil King, Vice President of Operations for Cheney Brothers commented,
"ReeferTrak permits Cheney Brothers to provide the highest degree of service and
quality to our customers, from both of our major distribution locations in Ocala
and Riviera, Florida. We use the ReeferTrak information technology as an
advanced tool, which allows us to assure the highest quality shipments to our
customers."

Joe Haber, Chief Information Officer for Cheney Brothers added, "ReeferTrak also
delivers specific capabilities, which allows Cheney Brothers to achieve
operational savings. The ReeferTrak system allows Cheney Brothers to observe
every operational detail of our deliveries from warehouse locations, and
evaluate the condition of our refrigerated equipment in real time. Reliable
management of trailer operations such as refueling events, fuel usage and
trailer inventory management, provide significant operational cost savings to
us. The service is truly a reliable and advanced capability that significantly
improves the way we do business."
