                          Alanco/StarTrak Announces
                        FY First Quarter Sales Up 25%


(Scottsdale,  AZ  October  14,  2010)  Alanco Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALAN),
today announced preliminary unaudited sales results for its fiscal first quarter
ended  September  30,  2010.  StarTrak  Systems,  the  Companys  sole  operating
subsidiary  following the recent divestiture of underperforming assets, reported
first quarter sales totaling approximately $3.7 million, a 25% increase compared
to  the  prior  year first quarter results. During the first quarter the Company
reported  adding  a  record  24  new  accounts in diverse refrigerated transport
market  segments  including: truckload, intermodal, food service, private fleet,
life  sciences  and  international  refrigeration  applications.

Tom Robinson, StarTrak Executive Vice President commented, The record number and
diversity  of  our  24  first  quarter account additions demonstrate the growing
adoption  of  StarTraks  information  technology  services  throughout  the
refrigerated  transport  market. The first quarters sales were about 10-15% less
than  anticipated  due  to  an  industry-wide  shortage  of  certain  electronic
components  which  delayed  shipment of a portion of our hardware backlog to the
second  quarter.  With  our  existing  strong  backlog,  and  assuming  modest
improvement  in  electronic  component  availability,  we  anticipate  sales  to
increase  approximately  30%  for  the  fiscal  second  quarter.

Alanco  Technologies,  Inc.  provides  wireless  monitoring and asset management
solutions  through  its  StarTrak  Systems  subsidiary.  StarTrak Systems is the
dominant  provider  of  tracking,  monitoring  and  control  services  to  the
