PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

Alanco Technologies, Inc. (Stock Symbol: ALAN) was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the State of Arizona.  Unless otherwise noted, the "Company" or “Alanco” refers to Alanco Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  In previous SEC filings, Alanco reported three business segments: Data Storage, Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology.  During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, the Company sold its Data Storage business segment and in fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 sold the remaining RFID Technology and Wireless Asset Management business segments.  During fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, which acquired assets and completed construction of a water treatment and disposal facility, discussed below, which began receiving produced water in August 2012.

RECENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

Alanco Energy Services, Inc. - In April 2012, Alanco Energy Services, Inc. ("AES"), a subsidiary of the Company, executed an agreement with TC Operating, LLC ("TCO") of Grand Junction, CO to transfer a land lease for approximately 24 acres near Grand Junction, CO (“Deer Creek site”) and all related assets to AES with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, and termed "produced water".  The agreements included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to construct and operate the facilities. Subsequent to the TCO agreement, AES renegotiated an amended lease that became effective on May 1, 2012.  The terms of the amended lease requires minimum monthly lease payments plus additional rent based upon quantities of produced water received at the site. In addition, under the TCO agreement, TCO can earn additional payments based upon a percentage of the net cumulative EBITDA (net of all related AES capital investments) over a period of approximately 10 years (contingent purchase price obligation), starting January 1, 2014. Under certain circumstances, the acreage covered by the lease may be expanded by up to 50 acres to allow for additional expansion at the site.  (See notes 5 and 10 in the notes to consolidated financial statements under Item 8 to this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the transfer of the land lease and the contingent purchase price obligation incurred.)

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
AES also purchased a 160 acre site near Grand Junction, CO (“Indian Mesa site”) from Deer Creek Disposal, LLC ("DCD"), for additional expansion of the disposal facility. As consideration for the land purchase, AES paid $500,000 at the April 13, 2012 closing and assumed a non-interest bearing, secured, $200,000 note which was paid on its November 15, 2012 due date.  AES has also agreed to contingent quarterly earn-out payments to DCD up to a maximum total of $800,000, generally determined as 10% of quarterly revenues in excess of operating expenses, not to exceed $200,000 for any calendar quarter (contingent land payment).

Related to the treatment and disposal facilities, in fiscal year 2012 AES entered into a management agreement with TCO to manage the project for a monthly management fee of $10,000 initially and $20,000 after final permits for the Deer Creek operation are attained.  In an amendment to the TCO agreement, TCO agreed to provide certain administrative duties for AES and the management fee was increased to $23,000 per month.  In addition, the Company agreed to pay TCO at closing up to $85,000 and issue 40,000 shares of Common Stock of Alanco Technologies, Inc. as reimbursement for past expenses in acquiring permits and for past management services and a covenant not to compete.   The initial term of the management agreement expired in January 2013 and is continuing on a month to month basis.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

An investment in Alanco involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information included in this Form 10-K, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in determining whether or not to purchase shares of Alanco Class A Common Stock.  These matters should be considered in conjunction with the other information included or incorporated by reference in this filing.  This Form 10-K contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements appear in a number of places and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our management, directors or officers primarily with respect to our future operating performance.  Prospective purchasers of our securities are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  The information set out below, identifies important factors that could cause such differences.  See “Safe Harbor Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.”

We may not be able to finalize our business plans.   We have completed the initial acquisition of assets and developed the Deer Creek site for AES’s water treatment and disposal business.  However, the 160 acre Indian Mesa site is still in the permitting stage and cannot be developed until the requested permits for both produced water treatment and disposal and land fill/farming are acted upon.  There is no assurance that the Indian Mesa permitting process will be successfully completed or that we have the capital to fund the Indian Mesa development.

The loss of key personnel would have a negative impact on our business and future development objectives.  Our strategy is reliant on key personnel who understand businesses in which we invested.  We have certain incentives to retain key personnel, but have no assurance that such personnel will remain with the Company on a long-term basis.  The loss of the services of those key personnel could have an adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial condition of our company.

Worsening general economic conditions may negatively affect our ability to complete development and declining stock prices may negatively affect the value of our marketable securities.  Previous deterioration in general economic conditions resulted in reduced stock valuations and a decline in merger and acquisition activities.

Acts of domestic terrorism and war  impacted general economic conditions and our ability to operate profitably.  As a result of terrorist acts and resulting military actions, there has been a disruption in general economic activity.  There may be other consequences resulting from past acts of terrorism, and any others which may occur in the future, including civil disturbance, war, riot, epidemics, public demonstration, explosion, freight embargoes, governmental action, governmental delay, restraint or inaction, quarantine restrictions, unavailability of capital, equipment, and personnel, which we may not be able to anticipate.  These terrorist acts and acts of war may continue to impact the economy, and in turn, impact our ability to consummate a business combination and may reduce the demand for the products and services produced by the resultant business, which would harm our ability to make a profit.

The Company may not have sufficient capital to meet the liquidity needs to develop assets or  otherwise pursue its business plan; and there is no assurance that additional capital can be obtained through the sale of stock or additional financing.  Although management cannot assure that future operations will be profitable or that additional debt and/or equity capital will be raised, we believe that, based on our fiscal 2014 operating plan, cash flow and additional funding sources will be adequate to meet our anticipated future requirements for working capital expenditures and scheduled lease payments for the next twelve months.  We will need to materially reduce expenses, or raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, or both, if the revenue and cash flow elements of our 2014 operating plan are not met.  If we need to seek additional financing to meet working capital requirements, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.  If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our business, operating results, financial condition and ability to continue operations will be materially adversely affected.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
The substantial portion of our assets are invested in ORBCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBC) Common Stock.  Because the consideration we received from ORBCOMM for substantially all of the assets of our subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC, consists of ORBCOMM Common Stock, such stock remains one of our primary assets.  Our agreement with ORBCOMM prevents us from liquidating the ORBCOMM stock at a rate in excess of 279,600 shares per month.  Also, we anticipate selling such stock over a period of time to maximize our return.  As long as the ORBCOMM Common Stock constitutes a substantial portion of our assets, fluctuations in the market price of such stock may significantly affect our value.

If we raise additional funds through the sale of stock, our existing Alanco shareholders will experience dilution and may be subject to newly issued senior securities. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of the then current shareholders of the Company will be reduced, and such equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of Class A Common Stock.

The loss of key corporate executives may have a negative effect on our Company.  Our performance is substantially dependent on the services and performance of our executive officers and key employees.  The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition due to their extensive specific knowledge and comprehensive operating plans for the Company.  Irrespective of any business operations, our future success will depend on our ability to attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified technical, sales, operations and managerial personnel.

The market for the Company’s Alanco Energy Services, Inc. produced water disposal services may not be large enough to support the additional capacity created by the development of the Deer Creek water disposal site.  Capital costs for the Deer Creek water disposal site require certain volumes, at certain prices per barrel, of produced water to be deposited for the Deer Creek operation to be successful.  If the volume of produced water received is less than projected, or the price obtained per barrel is less than anticipated, or if operating costs are more than projected, the Deer Creek operation could have an adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial condition of our company.

Changing technology related to the disposal of produced water may result in the development of more cost effective methods than the evaporation method used at the Deer Creek facility.  We do not believe a more cost effective method will be available in the near future, however, if improved methods are developed, the volume of produced water received at the Deer Creek facility and/or the price obtained per barrel may be less than anticipated and could have an adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial condition of our Company.

The Company does not anticipate payment of dividends on Common Stock.  We do not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends on our Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future.  The payment of dividends by us will depend on our earnings, financial condition, and such other factors, as our Board of Directors may consider relevant.  We currently plan to retain earnings, if any, to provide for the development of our business.

Our articles of incorporation and Arizona law may have the effect of making it more expensive or more difficult for a third party to acquire, or to acquire control of us.  Our articles of incorporation make it possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us.  Arizona law prohibits a publicly held Arizona corporation from engaging in certain business combinations with certain persons, who acquire our securities with the intent of engaging in a business combination, unless the proposed transaction is approved in a prescribed manner.  This provision has the effect of discouraging transactions not approved by our Board of Directors as required by the statute which may discourage third parties from attempting to acquire us or to acquire control of us even if the attempt would result in a premium over market price for the shares of common stock held by our stockholders.

Certain provisions in our Alanco shareholder rights plan may discourage a takeover attempt.  We have implemented a shareholder rights plan which could make an unsolicited takeover of our company more difficult.  As a result, shareholders holding a controlling block of shares may be deprived of the opportunity to sell their shares to potential acquirers at a premium over prevailing market prices.  This potential inability to obtain a premium could reduce the market price of our common stock.

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company’s corporate office was located at 7950 E. Acoma Drive, Suite 111, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260, in an approximately 1,500 square foot facility.  At June 30, 2013 the facility was leased under a month to month agreement requiring payment of approximately $1,600 per month (including rental tax).  Effective August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a one year lease requiring a monthly payment of approximately $1,700 (including rental tax).   Alanco also leased office equipment with a monthly payment of approximately $200 under a lease that expired in July 2013.

In April 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc. ("AES"), a new wholly owned subsidiary, and through AES executed an agreement with TC Operating, LLC ("TCO") of Grand Junction, CO to transfer a land lease for approximately 24 acres near Grand Junction, CO (known as the Deer Creek site) with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, and termed "produced water".  The agreement included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to construct the facilities.

The ten year land lease, effective May 1, 2012 has two additional ten year option periods that may be activated by AES.  The initial terms of the lease requires minimum monthly lease payments of $100 per acre (increasing to $150 and $200 per acre for the second and third ten year option periods, respectively) plus additional rent based upon quantities of produced water received (approximately $.25 per barrel) at the site. Under certain circumstances, the acreage covered by the lease may be expanded by up to 50 acres to allow for additional expansion at the site.

AES has also entered into a definitive agreement ("Agreement") with Deer Creek Disposal, LLC ("DCD") to acquire a 160 acre parcel of land approximately three miles from the Deer Creek site to provide additional expansion to the proposed water disposal facility. As consideration for the land purchase, AES paid $500,000 at the April 13, 2012 closing and assumed a noninterest bearing, secured, $200,000 note that was repaid within terms on November 15, 2012. AES has also agreed to potential additional quarterly contingent land payments to DCD up to a maximum total of $800,000, generally determined as 10% of quarterly revenues in excess of operating expenses up to a maximum of $200,000 per quarter (contingent land payment) with a net present value at June 30, 2013 and 2012 of $641,400 and $625,000, respectively.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company may from time to time be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business.  As of June 30, 2013, there was no such litigation pending deemed material by the Company.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”) as a wholly owned subsidiary and constructed the Deer Creek water treatment and disposal facility located near Grand Junction, CO.  The facility started to receive produced water in August 2012.  During fiscal 2013, the Company also continued the permitting process for the 160 acre site known as Indian Mesa for water treatment and disposal and a landfill/land farm operation.

Critical Accounting Policies

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions concerning classification and valuation of investments, the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation, expense recognition, realization of deferred tax assets, accounts and notes receivable, estimated useful lives of fixed assets, the recorded values of accruals and contingencies including the ORBCOMM fuel sensor escrow and working capital adjustment liabilities, the estimated fair values of the Company’s asset retirement obligation and the contingent land and purchase price liabilities.  We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  The result of these estimates and judgments form the basis for making conclusions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
The SEC suggests that all registrants discuss their most “critical accounting policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.  A critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Management has identified the critical accounting policies as those accounting policies that affect its more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.  The Company’s Audit Committee has reviewed and approved the critical accounting policies identified.  These policies include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the classification and valuation of marketable securities, realization of accounts and notes receivable, stock-based compensation, the recorded values of accruals and fair values of assets and liabilities including the Company’s contingent liabilities.

Results of Operations

Net Revenues
Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013 were $390,600.  At June 30, 2012, the new water treatment facility was under construction and not generating revenues.  Revenues for fiscal 2013 were concentrated approximately 96.6% to two customers.  The Company does not anticipate a similar concentration in the coming fiscal years as it continues to develop relationships with potential customers in the region.  Revenues can be impacted by weather conditions in the winter and the prices of oil and gas which may impact drilling activities in the region and accordingly produced water deliveries.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013 of $402,000 consist of direct labor costs, equipment costs (including depreciation), land lease costs and other operating costs.  Approximately 47% of the cost of revenues for the year consisted of fixed costs such as depreciation, amortization, accretion and lease costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2013 (consisting of corporate expenses, AES selling, general and administrative expense and amortization of stock-based compensation) was $1,533,300, an increase of $484,500, or 46.2%, compared to $1,048,800 reported for the year ended June 30, 2012.  Corporate expenses for the current year was $592,400 and represented a decrease of $428,800, or 42%, compared to corporate expenses of $1,021,200 reported for the comparable year ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease resulted from reduced corporate operating expense and increased allocation of corporate service cost to AES and billings for accounting services provided to ACC.  AES operating expense of $702,300 for the year ended June 30, 2013 relates to the new Deer Creek Water Disposal facility that initiated operation during August 2012 and represented general overhead associated with the operation.  Amortization of stock-based compensation increased to $238,600 for the year ended June 30, 2013, from $24,900 for the comparable prior year.  The increase relates primarily to options with immediate vesting granted in the current year.  The related value was expensed immediately upon grant.

Operating Loss
Operating Loss for the year ended June 30, 2013 was ($1,544,700), an increase of $495,900, or 47.3%, compared to an Operating Loss of ($1,048,800) reported for the prior year.  The increased operating loss resulted from increased operating costs associated with the completed Deer Creek water disposal facility and additional selling, general and administrative expenses.  Since no revenue was reported for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the operating losses equal the operating expenses discussed above.

Other Income and Expense
Net interest income for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $22,900, an improvement of $8,700 when compared to interest income of $14,200 for the year ended June 30, 2012.  The increase in interest income related to the ACC note outstanding and other short term investments.

During fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded net gains on the sale of its Symbius investment of $86,800, and a gain of $751,500 on the sale of 747,873 shares of its ORBCOMM Common Stock at an average selling price of $3.91 per share.  During the prior year the Company reported the sale of 993,661 shares of ORBCOMM Common Stock at an average selling price of $3.30 per share resulting in a gain on sale of $386,700.  Finally, the Company had $500 of other income during the year ended June 30, 2013 as compared to other income of $12,700 reported in the comparable period of the prior year.  Other income in fiscal 2012 was primarily the result of the distribution of marketable securities from escrow.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2013 was ($683,000), an increase of ($47,800), or 7.5%, when compared to the net loss of ($635,200) for the previous year ended June 30, 2012.  The increase in net loss was primarily due to the current year startup of AES water treatment and disposal facility offset by a $364,800 increase in gains on sale of marketable securities.

Dividends and Redemption
The Company had zero dividend expense for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to $30,500 in dividend expense for the comparable period of the prior year.   The decrease resulted from the repurchase of all the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in December 2011 resulting in a gain on redemption of $443,200 reported in the prior year.   See Note 16 – Shareholders’ Equity in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 for additional discussion relative to the redemption of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2013 amounted to ($683,000), or ($.14) per share, compared to a net loss of ($222,500), or ($.04) per share, in the prior year for reasons discussed above.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive Income for the year ended June 30, 2013 represents the unrealized change in market value of the Company’s Marketable Securities held at June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012.  Comprehensive income for the year ended June 30, 2013 consisted of the net value of three items:  1) the reclassification adjustment for realized gains included in Net Income of $751,500; 2) an Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities, net of tax, of $428,000 resulting from an increase in the market value of the shares held at June 30, 2013 compared to the market value at June 30, 2012, and; 3) the net unrealized gain on marketable securities sold during the period of $489,800.  At June 30, 2013 the Company valued 348,011 shares (net of escrow shares) of ORBCOMM, Inc. Common Stock at $4.49 per share for a total value of $1,562,600.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $2,526,500 at June 30, 2013, representing a current ratio of 10.3 to 1.  At June 30, 2012 the Company's current assets exceeded current liabilities by $3,473,900 and reflected a current ratio of 4.8 to 1.  The increase in current ratio at June 30, 2013 versus June 30, 2012 resulted primarily from the sale of marketable securities, proceeds of which were used to reduce accounts payable and accrued expense and notes payable, as well as invest in Land, Property and Equipment.

Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was ($1,588,200) compared with net cash used in operating activities for the prior fiscal year of ($774,300).  The increase of $813,900 resulted primarily from an increase in net loss of $47,800, an increase in the gain on the sale of investments of $451,600, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $635,800, an increase in a trust account of $30,000 offset by increases in amortization and depreciation of $144,400 and stock compensation of $213,700.

Consolidated receivables at June 30, 2013 were $42,400 compared to receivables at June 30, 2012 of $16,800.  The receivables at June 30, 2013 relate to $9,600 of trade receivables for AES plus $32,800 of receivables from ACC.  The receivable at June 30, 2012 related to ACC.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the current year was $2,239,300, an increase of $1,280,200 compared to net cash provided by investing activities in the prior year of $959,100.   The increase was due primarily to proceeds received for the sale of the Company’s investment in Symbius and repayments of Symbius and ACC notes receivable, combined with a reduction in expenditures of approximately $794,400 for the purchase of land, property and equipment as compared to the prior year.

Net cash used in financing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 amounted to ($239,000), a decrease of $444,700 compared to net cash used in financing activities of ($683,700) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in net repayment of borrowings.

At June 30, 2013, the Company reported Marketable Securities – Restricted that consisted of 348,011 shares of ORBCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBC) Common Stock, valued at approximately $1.6 million.  The shares were received as part of the Company’s sale of its StarTrak Systems, LLC subsidiary in May 2011.  Our agreement with ORBCOMM prevents us from liquidating the ORBCOMM stock at a rate in excess of 279,600 shares per month.  Also, we anticipate selling such stock over a period of time to maximize our return.  As long as the ORBCOMM Common Stock constitutes a substantial portion of our assets, fluctuations in the market price of such stock may significantly affect our value.  See Note 4 – Marketable Securities – Restricted to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on the ORBCOMM investment.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
    The Company has made a significant investment through June 30, 2013 in Alanco Energy Services, Inc. investing approximately $1.4 million in land and $3.1 million in evaporation ponds and equipment for the Deer Creek water disposal site.  The Company plans on continuing its sale of ORBCOMM stock discussed above to fund the additional investments.

The Company has a note receivable from American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”), a related party, established to provide ACC working capital.  As of June 30, 2013, the note has an outstanding balance of $375,000 drawn on a $400,000 credit line.  The note is secured by all assets of ACC and bears interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum.  An additional $25,000 was drawn subsequent to June 30, 2013 resulting in ACC reaching the $400,000 maximum under the agreement.  Under the agreement and amendments thereto, the Company was issued a total of 300,000 warrants to purchase membership units of ACC at an exercise price of $1.25 per unit.  The expiration date of the warrants are August 31, 2016 and the value of said warrants is considered immaterial at both June 30, 2013 and 2012 due to the startup nature of ACC and the significant premium (39%) over the exercise price compared to the most recent membership unit sales.  Therefore, no value has been recorded for these warrants.

Although management cannot assure that any future acquisitions will be completed, or that it will achieve projections, or that additional debt and/or equity will not be required, we believe our cash balances at year end, projected cash flows from operations, and working capital will provide adequate capital resources to maintain operations as they currently exist for the next year.  If additional working capital is required during fiscal 2014 due to an acquisition or merger and not obtained through additional long-term debt, equity capital or operations, it could adversely affect future operations.  Management has historically been successful in obtaining financing and has demonstrated the ability to implement a number of cost-cutting initiatives to reduce working capital needs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Alanco Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alanco Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Alanco Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.         NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations - Alanco Technologies, Inc. (Stock Symbol: ALAN) was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the State of Arizona.  Unless otherwise noted, the "Company" or “Alanco” refers to Alanco Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”), which was in the process of permitting and constructing a water disposal facility near Grand Junction, CO to receive produced water generated as a byproduct from oil and natural gas production in Western Colorado.  The new facility started to receive produced water in August 2012.  See Note 5 - Alanco Energy Services for discussion of AES transactions.

Principles of Consolidation – These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  The consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 include, where appropriate, the accounts of Alanco Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alanco Energy Services, Inc. and StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”) (collectively, the “Company”).  Alanco is an Arizona corporation; Alanco Energy Services, Inc. is a Colorado corporation and StarTrak Systems, LLC is a Delaware LLC.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition – The Company operates the Deer Creek water disposal facility near Grand Junction, CO and bills customers (primarily in the oil and gas industry) for produced water received.  The Company recognizes revenue generally at the time the produced water is received at the Deer Creek facility, filtered and billed.  Revenue is generally recognized when all the following have been met:

·  
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·  
The service has been performed;
·  
The customer’s fee is deemed to be determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and
·  
Collectability is probable.

Accounts Receivable - Trade and Other – The Company provides for potentially uncollectible trade accounts receivable and other receivables by use of the allowance method.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based upon a review of the individual accounts outstanding, the Company’s prior history and the customer’s credit worthiness.  The Company charges off uncollectible receivables when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.  The Company does not typically accrue interest or fees on past due amounts and the receivables are generally unsecured. There were no provisions for uncollectible trade accounts receivable or other receivables at June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Notes Receivable – The Company provides for potentially uncollectible notes receivable by use of the allowance method.  An allowance for uncollectible notes receivable is provided based upon a review of the individual notes outstanding and the Company’s prior history of uncollectible accounts and the note holder’s credit worthiness.  The Company charges off uncollectible notes receivable when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.  Interest income from notes receivable is recognized when earned.  There were no provisions for uncollectible notes receivable at June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Marketable Securities - Restricted – The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable equity securities at the time of acquisition and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date.  Marketable securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold securities to maturity.  Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings.  Marketable securities not classified as held to maturity or as trading, are classified as available for sale, and are carried at fair value, with the unrecognized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income (loss) and reported in shareholders’ equity.  The Company measures and discloses its investments in marketable securities, which are classified as available for sale, at fair value on a recurring basis, in accordance with the ASC.  The cost of the securities sold is based on specific identification of the security.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 
The fair value of substantially all securities is determined by quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of securities for which there are no quoted market prices is based on similar types of securities that are traded in the market.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities – The estimated fair values for assets and liabilities are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant information. The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) prioritizes inputs used in measuring fair value into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets, Level 2 – observable inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.  These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value given their short-term nature and borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.

The following are the classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Fair Value of Marketable Securities - Restricted – The estimated fair values of Marketable Securities - Restricted are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information.  The Marketable Securities – Restricted is comprised entirely of ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM”) common shares (NASDAQ: ORBC) registered under a currently effective ORBCOMM Form S-3 registration statement.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is limited to selling up to 279,600 shares (12 ½% of the total shares received) per month.  This sales restriction is why the fair value measurement at June 30, 2013 of the Company’s investment ORBCOMM’s Common Stock is based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets that are directly observable and thus represent a Level 2 fair value measurement.  However, management does not believe the restriction will interfere with any plans to market their stock holdings.  As such, the trading price is used as fair value with no further adjustment.  The remaining shares will be revalued at the end of each reporting period with per share market value fluctuations reported as Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Fair Value of Asset Retirement ObligationThe Deer Creek asset retirement obligation is the estimated cost to close the Deer Creek facility under terms of the lease, meeting environmental and State of Colorado regulatory requirements.  The estimate is determined at discrete points in time based upon significant unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that is significant to the fair value of the liability, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.  Management’s estimate of the asset retirement obligation is based upon a cost estimate developed by a consultant knowledgeable of government closure requirements and costs incurred at similar water disposal facility operations.  The process used was to identify each activity in the closure process, obtain vendor estimated costs, in current dollars, to perform the closure activity and accumulating the various vendor estimates to determine the asset retirement obligation.  A present value discount has not been taken as the estimated closure costs, excluding regulatory changes and inflation adjustments, are anticipated to remain fairly consistent over the operational life of the facility.  The lack of an active market to validate the estimated asset retirement obligation results in the fair value of asset retirement obligation to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.  ASC Topic 410-20: Asset Retirement Obligations requires the Company to review the asset retirement obligation on a recurring basis and record changes in the period incurred.

Fair Value of Contingent Payments – The contingent land payment and contingent purchase price liabilities are also determined at discrete points in time based upon unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that is significant to the fair value of the liability, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.  In calculating the estimate of fair value for both of the contingent payments, management completed an estimate of the present value of each identified contingent liability based upon projected income, cash flows and capital expenditures for the Deer Creek facility developed under plans currently approved by the Company’s board of directors.  Different assumptions relative to the expansion or alternative uses of the Deer Creek and Indian Mesa facilities could result in significantly different valuations.  The projected payments have been discounted at a rate of 3% per annum to determine net present value.  The lack of an active market to validate the estimated contingent land and purchase price liabilities results in the fair value of the contingent land and purchase price liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.  ASC Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement requires the Company to review the contingent land and purchase price liabilities on a recurring basis and record changes in the period incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values using Level 3 inputs, based on their short maturities.

Land, Property and Equipment – Land, Property and Equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method, generally over a 3 to 20-year period.  Currently all office furniture and equipment are being depreciated over 3 years; production equipment over 7-10 years; and the water disposal facility over 15 to 20 years including 15 years for the evaporation pond liners and 20 years for the pond construction costs.  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the account and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

Trust Account – Asset Retirement Obligation – The Company is required to make quarterly payments to a trust account for the closure costs of the Deer Creek facility.  The Company reflects the gross amount of the trust as an asset and the gross amount of the estimated closure cost as a liability.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  To the extent that the Company does not consider it more than likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company makes significant estimates and assumptions concerning the classification and valuation of investments, the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation, expense recognition, realization of deferred tax assets, accounts and notes receivable, estimated useful lives of fixed assets, the recorded values of accruals and contingencies including the ORBCOMM fuel sensor escrow and working capital adjustment liabilities, the estimated fair values of the Company’s asset retirement obligation and the contingent land and purchase price liabilities.  Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process and the significance of these items, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates in connection with these items could be materially revised within the next year.

Impairment of Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets - The Company’s policy is to perform an assessment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable.  If the net carrying value of the asset exceeds estimated future net cash flows, then impairment is recognized to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value.  No impairment charge was recorded in fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

Income (Loss) Per Share - The income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is presented in accordance with the provisions of the ASC.  Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  Basic and Diluted EPS were the same for fiscal 2013 and 2012, as the Company had losses from operations during both years and therefore the effect of all potential common stock equivalents is antidilutive (reduces loss per share).  Stock options representing 1,084,100 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding at June 30, 2013 with exercise prices ranging between $.50 and $1.50. The weighted average exercise price for all outstanding options was $0.67.  Stock warrants representing 95,100 Class A Common Shares were outstanding at June 30, 2013 with an exercise price of $2.64.  The weighted average exercise price was $2.64.

Stock options representing 674,100 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding at June 30, 2012 with exercise prices ranging between $.75 and $2.00.  The weighted average exercise price for all outstanding options was $.80.  Stock warrants representing 150,400 Class A Common Shares were outstanding at June 30, 2012 with exercise prices ranging between $2.64 and $14.00.  The weighted average exercise price was $6.24.

Stock Options Plans - The Company has stock-based compensation plans.  The value of the compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the award (the option vesting term).

The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  Assumptions used to estimate compensation expense are determined as follows:

·  
Expected term for current year grants was 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;

·  
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, and contemplation of future activity;

·  
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,

·  
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and management’s analysis of potential forfeitures.

Concentrations of Credit Risks - The Company invests its excess cash in short term bank investments that in some cases exceeds the maximum FDIC insurance amount.  At June 30, 2013 and 2012, deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits amounted to $487,700 and nil, respectively.  The Company currently has a substantial amount of its assets invested in ORBCOMM Common Stock, received as partial consideration in the sale of the

Wireless Asset Management segment during fiscal 2011.  Although the Company performed due diligence during the negotiations with ORBCOMM and believes that ORBCOMM Common Stock is a good investment, no assurance can be made that the stock will maintain its value.  See Note 4 - Marketable Securities - Restricted for additional discussion of the investment.  At June 30, 2013, the notes receivable balance of $375,000 consisted of a note from American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”).  The note is secured, however there is no assurance the amounts will be repaid when due or if ever.  See Note 3 – Notes Receivable and Note 8 – Investments for additional discussions of the notes receivable at June 30, 2013.  Approximately 96.6% of AES revenues were generated by two customers and all amounts billed to those customers were paid in full as of June 30, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment.  The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted and the Company has adopted the guidance, which had no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the year ended June 30, 2013 that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.
 
2.         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.

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 years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were:

The note is secured by all assets of ACC and bears interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum.  An additional $25,000 was drawn subsequent to June 30, 2013 resulting in ACC reaching the $400,000 maximum under the agreement.  ACC must make payments on the note to reduce its outstanding balance to at least $300,000 as of December 31, 2013.  The outstanding principal balance shall be reduced to at least $100,000 on or before March 31, 2014 with the remaining unpaid balance of the note due by June 30, 2014.  See Note 8 - Investments for additional discussion on the Company’s investment in ACC.

Note receivable – Symbius at June 30, 2012 represents an amount due from Symbius Financial, Inc. (“Symbius”) under an agreement whereby the Company agreed to provide a secured line of credit up to $250,000, secured by all Symbius assets and accruing interest at 7.5%.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, Symbius repaid the outstanding balance under the line of credit agreement.  See Note 8 – Investments for additional discussion on the Company’s investment in Symbius.

4.      MARKETABLE SECURITIES – RESTRICTED

At June 30, 2013, the Company had Marketable Securities - Restricted in the amount of $1,562,600 representing the June 30, 2013 market value ($4.49 per share) of 348,011 ORBCOMM Common Shares (NASDAQ: ORBC) received as partial consideration in the May 2011 sale of StarTrak assets.  The number of shares is net of an estimated 83,306 shares to be returned to ORBCOMM for settlement of obligations under the escrow agreements more fully discussed in Note 6 – Sale of Operating Segments.  The net cost basis of the estimated 83,306 shares at June 30, 2013 and 2012 is $2.91 per share or $242,400.

The ORBCOMM common shares are registered under a currently effective ORBCOMM Form S-3 registration statement, however under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is limited to selling up to 279,600 shares (12 ½% of the shares received) monthly.  The Company has classified these securities as available-for-sale at June 30, 2013 and 2012. The fair value measurement at June 30, 2013 and 2012 is based upon quoted prices from similar assets in active markets and thus represents a Level 2 fair value measurement.  The restriction discussed above is why ORBCOMM’s Common Stock trading price is deemed a Level 2 input.  However, management does not believe the restriction will interfere with any plans to market their stock holdings.  As such, the trading price is used as fair value with no further adjustment.

The shares held are revalued at the end of each reporting period with per share market value fluctuations reported as Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the period.  Based upon the change in market value of $3.26 per share at June 30, 2012 to $4.49 per share at June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on marketable securities held at June 30, 2013 (presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss)), of $428,000 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities sold during fiscal 2013 of $489,800, offset by an adjustment for unrealized gains previously recorded related to securities sold during the period.  The actual gain or loss of securities sold is reported in the Statement of Operations.  At June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of $549,900 and $383,600, respectively, net of tax of nil, was presented in the Shareholders’ Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 
 
The Company reviews its marketable equity holdings in ORBCOMM on a regular basis to determine if its investment has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. The Company considers ORBCOMM’s cash position, earnings and revenue outlook, stock price performance, liquidity and management ownership, among other factors, in its review. If it is determined that an other-than-temporary decline exists, the Company writes down the investment to its market value and records the related impairment as an investment loss in its Statement of Operations. As of close of market on September 13, 2013, the per share value of the ORBCOMM Common Stock was $5.00, $2.09 per share above the cost basis of $2.91 per share and above the June 30, 2013 valuation of $4.49 per share as presented on the attached balance sheet. There was no impairment as of the date of this report and no impairment related to an other-than-temporary decline was recorded during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

5.     ALANCO ENERGY SERVICES

During fiscal 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”), a wholly owned subsidiary, and in April 2012 executed an agreement with TC Operating, LLC ("TCO") of Grand Junction, CO to transfer a land lease for approximately 24 acres near Grand Junction, CO and all related assets to AES with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, and termed "produced water".  The agreement included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to construct the facilities.  The lease terms payable to the landlord include a minimum monthly lease payment of $100 per acre ($2,400 per month) during the initial ten year term of the lease, plus approximately $.25 per barrel of produced water received at the site.  The design and construction of the Deer Creek water disposal facility required certain changes to the Goodwin Solid Waste facility (“Goodwin”) resulting in extra costs to the landlord, who also owned Goodwin.  As incentive for the landlord to approve the facility design, AES agreed to limit landlord construction improvement costs related to the leased land to $200,000.  Included in the $200,000 limited amount was $100,000 of  landlord improvement costs to be paid by AES and reimbursed through a 50% credit against the $.25 per barrel royalty payments due landlord discussed above.  AES recorded the $100,000 payment as prepaid royalties.

TCO can also earn deferred purchase price payments based upon a percentage of the net cumulative EBITDA (net of all related AES capital investments) over a period of approximately 10 years (contingent deferred payment), approximately the initial term of the lease. Under certain circumstances, the acreage covered by the lease may be expanded by up to 50 acres to allow for additional expansion at the site.  See Note 10 - Fair Value - Contingent Payments for additional discussion of the contingent deferred payment.

During April 2012, AES also entered into a definitive agreement with Deer Creek Disposal, LLC ("DCD") whereby AES acquired a 160 acre site near Grand Junction, CO, for additional expansion to the proposed water treatment and disposal facility. As consideration for the land purchase, AES paid $500,000 at the April 13, 2012 closing and assumed a non-interest bearing, secured, $200,000 note due November 15, 2012, which was repaid upon maturity. AES has also agreed to potential additional quarterly earn-out payments to DCD up to a maximum total of $800,000, generally determined as 10% of quarterly revenues in excess of operating expenses up to $200,000 per quarter (contingent land payment).  See Note 10 – Fair Value - Contingent Payments for additional discussion of the contingent land payment.  The land, known as Indian Mesa, is currently undeveloped as the Company is in the permitting process.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Related to the treatment and disposal facilities, AES also entered into a management agreement with TCO to manage the project for a monthly management fee of $10,000 initially and $20,000 after final permits are attained.  In an amendment to the TCO agreement, TCO agreed to provide certain administrative duties for AES and the management fee was increased to $23,000 per month.  In addition, the Company agreed to pay TCO, at closing, up to $85,000 and issue 40,000 shares of Common Stock of Alanco Technologies, Inc. as reimbursement for past expenses and efforts in acquiring permits and for past management services and a covenant not to compete.  The initial term of the management agreement expired in January 2013 and is continuing on a month to month basis.

6.        SALE OF OPERATING SEGMENT

Sale of StarTrak Systems, LLC Operations – Wireless Asset Management segment

The assets of StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), a subsidiary comprising the Company’s Wireless Asset Management segment, were sold to ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM”) effective in May 2011.  The transaction was structured as an asset purchase whereby ORBCOMM acquired substantially all of StarTrak’s assets and liabilities.  (The Asset Purchase Agreement was included in the definitive proxy statement filed on April 11, 2011.)  The transaction was considered the sale of substantially all of the assets of Alanco and accordingly required shareholder approval.  The proposal was approved by shareholders at the annual shareholders meeting held on May 10, 2011 and the transaction closing date was May 16, 2011.

Consideration Received - Total transaction consideration payable at close, including escrowed amounts as required by the agreement, for substantially all of the assets of StarTrak is equal to an aggregate face amount of approximately $17.7 million in cash, ORBCOMM Common and Series A Preferred Stock, Alanco Common and Series E Preferred Stock and the assumption of debt.  Consideration consists of the following:

1.  
Cash consideration in an amount equal to two million dollars ($2,000,000) less any amount due under the secured loan referred to in 3 below;
2.  
ORBCOMM’s acquisition and discharge of the Anderson Trust secured debt in the principal amount of $3,900,000;
3.

4.  
Delivery to Alanco of 500,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of Alanco having a face value amount of $2,250,000;

7.  
The issuance and delivery to Mellon, as escrow agent of 166,611 shares of ORBCOMM Stock, valued at closing at $2.91 per share, registered in the name of Alanco, which escrowed shares will be available to pay for a portion of certain product warranty costs;
8.  
The issuance and delivery to Alanco of 1,820,583 shares of ORBCOMM Stock, valued at closing at $2.91 per share;
9.  
The issuance and delivery to Alanco of 183,550 shares of Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred ORBCOMM stock (“ORBCOMM Series A”) with a face value of $10 per share, entitled to a 4% annual paid-in-kind dividend and each such share convertible into 1.666 shares of ORBCOMM Stock; and

10.  
Assumption by ORBCOMM of certain specified liabilities, generally consisting of liabilities arising after the closing date and liabilities reflected in the closing Working Capital Adjustment (“WCA”).

Escrow accounts - The escrow account for 249,917 shares (number 6 above) of ORBCOMM Common Stock, established under the escrow agreement described above, provides for the availability of ORBCOMM shares to pay for half of the out of pocket costs that may be incurred as a result of certain litigation pending against StarTrak at the time of the closing.  Subsequent to the closing, a settlement was reached among the litigants and ORBCOMM notified Alanco that its half of the settlement cost, including fees and expenses, amounted to approximately $100,000.  Under the escrow agreement, the shares returned to ORBCOMM in payment of the litigation costs, would be valued at $3.001 per share.  Final negotiation of the litigation escrow shares was completed in May 2012 and the agreement resulted in 29,990 of the escrow shares being distributed to ORBCOMM with the 219,927 balance distributed to Alanco.

The second escrow account in the amount of 166,611 shares of ORBCOMM common stock, established under item 7 above, provides for the availability of ORBCOMM shares to pay for half of certain product warranty costs incurred during the period March 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012, but only to the extent total warranty costs during the period exceed $600,000 (“fuel sensor escrow”).  Under the escrow agreement, shares returned to ORBCOMM in payment of those warranty costs would again be valued at $3.001 per share.  Upon distribution of the required shares to ORBCOMM, if any, from the escrow account, the remaining shares would be distributed to Alanco.  To recognize at June 30, 2013 and 2012 the potential return of ORBCOMM shares under this agreement, Alanco has reduced the balance of the Marketable Securities – Restricted by the value of 83,306 shares.  Based on information we have received to date from ORBCOMM in support of their claims, we believe the amount of the reserve is likely to be in excess of any liability owed, however, no adjustment of the reserve has been made to date, pending final outcome of our negotiations. Resolution of the final distribution under this escrow agreement cannot occur until the measurement period warranty costs have been analyzed and the actual obligations under escrow agreement determined.

Working Capital Adjustment - The Agreement also provided compensation for changes in working capital between November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2011, the measurement date, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.  If working capital, defined as current assets minus current liabilities less long-term deferred revenue, increased over the period, ORBCOMM will pay the value of that increase in cash or additional ORBCOMM Common Stock under number 10 above.  If the defined working capital decreased during the period, Alanco will return that amount from ORBCOMM Common Stock, valued at $3.001 per share, issued under number 10 above.

ORBCOMM delivered to Alanco on August 12, 2011, a written statement of the Current Assets, Current Liabilities and Net Working Capital Amount pursuant to the terms of the Agreement reflecting a working capital adjustment in favor of ORBCOMM of approximately $700,000.  Under terms of the Agreement, Alanco submitted a “Notice of Disagreement” of the Net Working Capital Amount submitted by ORBCOMM.  The Agreement stipulates third party arbitration to resolve disagreements over the working capital adjustment.  In an attempt to avoid the expense of submitting the disagreement to arbitration prematurely, and in consideration of mutual desires to resolve the issue, the parties mutually agreed to extend the resolution period and are working to resolve the issue.  The Company has recorded a reserve in excess of $100,000 for this contingent liability as of June 30, 2013.  However, based upon the limited documentation received from ORBCOMM to date, we cannot reasonably estimate the likelihood of additional liability.  Although we believe our reserve to be adequate, the ultimate liability may be materially revised as we continue to work to resolve the matter.  As of the filing of this Form 10-K, the parties were continuing discussions related to the fuel sensor escrow and the working capital adjustment.

8.        INVESTMENTS

American Citizenship Center, LLC

On January 6, 2012, the Company agreed to provide a $300,000 working capital loan to American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”), a related party company that provides 1) proprietary, automated on-line assistance for eligible immigrants to prepare for and obtain US citizenship; and 2) assistance in preparing and filing for Deferred Action for Undocumented Youth under a new policy developed by the Department of Homeland Security designed to allow certain people who did not intentionally violate immigration law to continue to live and work in the United States.  The Company received a $300,000 Note and a two year warrant to purchase 240,000 membership units (currently would equate to approximately 20% ownership) of ACC at an exercise price of $1.25 per unit.  The Note accrues interest at 7.5% (paid quarterly) on the outstanding balance, was payable in monthly installments of $75,000 commencing on March 31, 2013 and continuing until paid in full, provides for Alanco to have board of director representation and is secured by all assets and properties of ACC.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, Alanco agreed to amend the loan agreement increasing the maximum amount available under the loan to $400,000.  The additional availability was granted under similar terms and conditions to the original agreement and was used by ACC to open an office in Los Angeles, CA.  Under the amended promissory note, the outstanding principal shall be reduced to at least $300,000 on or before December 31, 2013 and $100,000 on or before March 31, 2014.  The remaining balance shall be due in full on or before June 30, 2014.  In consideration of the loan amendment, Alanco received an additional warrant to acquire 60,000 units of ACC at $1.25 per unit and the expiration date for all warrants issued to Alanco was extended to August 31, 2016.  The Company considered the value of the ACC warrants to be immaterial at both June 30, 2013 and 2012 due to the startup nature of ACC and the significant premium (39%) over the exercise price compared to the most recent membership unit sales.  Therefore, no value has been recorded for these warrants.  At June 30, 2013 and 2012, ACC had outstanding note balances under Alanco’s commitment of $375,000 and $300,000 respectively.

At June 30, 2013, the Company also had unpaid receivables from ACC in the amount of $32,800, consisting of $27,000 in billings for accounting services and $5,800 representing one quarter of interest.  Subsequent to year end ACC made payments bringing these balances current.  At both June 30, 2013 and 2012, Mr. Robert Kauffman, CEO of Alanco, was a personal investor in the membership units and owned approximately 10% of ACC.

Note payable – Land at June 30, 2012 consisted of a $200,000 note assumed in the April 2012 purchase of a 160 acre parcel of Colorado land referred to as Indian Mesa.  The note, due to Indian Mesa, Inc., a previous owner of the land, is secured by the land, is non-interest bearing, and was due on November 15, 2012.  Due to the short term nature of the note, no interest rate was imputed.   The note was repaid on the scheduled due date.

Note payable – Other, related party, at June 30, 2012, represents an unsecured convertible note due to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.  The note was a 10 day demand note in the amount of $28,000, bearing interest at 8% per annum, issued for additional working capital.  The note was convertible into Class A Common Stock at $2.24 per share.  Related interest expense for fiscal 2013 and 2012 was $2,300 and $1,700, respectively.  The note and accrued interest were paid in full prior to June 30, 2013.  See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions for additional information.

Fair value – contingent land payment represents the net present value of $800,000 of contingent land payments due under an agreement whereby Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”) acquired 160 acres of land known as Indian Mesa.  The payment is based upon 10% of any quarterly income (defined as gross revenues less operating expenses up to a maximum of $200,000 per quarter and $800,000 cumulative) for activity at both the Deer Creek and the Indian Mesa locations.  The payments were projected considering current operating plans as approved by the Alanco Board of Directors, with the payments discounted at a rate of 3% per annum.  See Note 5 – Alanco Energy Services for additional discussion on AES operations.

Fair value – contingent purchase price of $500,000 represents the net present value of projected payments to be made to TC Operating, LLC (“TCO”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement under which TC Operating transferred a land lease for approximately 24 acres of land known as Deer Creek and all related tangible and intangible assets.  Per the agreement, the contingent payments are determined as 28% of the Cumulative EBITDA in excess of all of AES’s capital investment for the ten (10) year period commencing on the earlier of (i) the recovery of AES’s capital investment, or (ii) January 1, 2014.  AES’s Capital investment shall mean the aggregate amount incurred by AES in acquiring the Assets, the Indian Mesa Facility, and or improving either the Deer Creek Facility or the Indian Mesa Facility.   Payments of said Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable quarterly.  The projected payments consider current operating plans as approved by the Alanco Board of Directors, with payments discounted at a rate of 3% per annum to determine net present value.  The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company fair value calculation for both the contingent land payment and contingent purchase price are the probability of the contingent payments being realized, the timing of when the payments are paid and the discount rate applied.  Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly different fair value measurement.  See Note 5 – Alanco Energy Services for additional discussion on AES operations.

11.     FAIR VALUE – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
The Company has recognized estimated asset retirement obligations (closure cost) at June 30, 2012 of $410,000 to remove leasehold improvements, remediate any pollution issues and return the Deer Creek water disposal property to its natural state at the conclusion of the Company’s lease.  The closure process is a requirement of both the Deer Creek lease and the State of Colorado, a permitting authority for such facilities.  The closure cost estimate, in current dollars, was completed by an approved independent consultant experienced in estimating closure costs for water disposal operations and the estimated amount was, subsequent to June 30, 2012, approved by the State of Colorado.  A present value discount has not been taken as the estimated closure costs, excluding regulatory changes and inflation adjustments, are anticipated to remain fairly consistent over the operational life of the facility.

The Company reviews the contingent asset retirement obligation on a recurring basis and records changes in the period incurred.   At June 30, 2013, the estimated closure costs were again reviewed and the only adjustment was a 1.8% inflation adjustment as required under agreement with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, increasing the asset retirement obligation to $417,400, AES’s approximate 75% share of the $566,000 estimated closure costs for both the Deer Creek facility and the adjacent Goodwin Solid Waste facility (Goodwin is not owned by AES).  The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s fair value calculation for the asset retirement obligation include the estimated cost to close the Deer Creek facility in accordance with state approved closure plans, the projected timing of the closure and the discount rate applied.  Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly different fair value measurement.  See Note 5 – Alanco Energy Services for additional discussion on AES operations.

The laws of the State of Colorado require companies to meet environmental and asset retirement obligations by selecting an approved payment method.  The Company has elected to meet its obligation by making an initial payment of approximately $25,300 and quarterly payments of approximately $4,700 into a trust that over the expected lease period will build liquid assets to meet the asset retirement obligation.

A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.  A valuation allowance is used to offset the related income tax assets due to uncertainties of realizing the benefits of certain net operating loss and tax credits.  The valuation allowance, which reflects a 100% reserve for all years reported above, increased $300,000 from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013.  At June 30, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $35,000,000.  The loss carry-forwards, unless utilized, will expire from 2016 through 2033.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the ability to utilize net operating losses if a 50% change in ownership occurs over a three year period.  Such limitation of the net operating losses may have occurred which the Company has not fully analyzed at this time as the deferred tax asset is fully reserved.

13.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Employment agreements
On October 10, 2011, the Company entered into employment agreements with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  The agreements have severance provisions and are effective through December 31, 2014.  In addition, the Company and the parties had agreed to defer certain compensation due in calendar 2011 to calendar 2012.  At June 30, 2012 all deferred amounts had been paid.  Prior to December 31, 2011, the Company also agreed to defer the January 1, 2012 salary reductions discussed in the agreements due to anticipated increased business activity.  The effective date of the salary reduction is currently on hold and will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.  No accrual has been made for the severance provisions as the likelihood of payment is considered remote.  See the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 for the full agreements.

Stock options granted
On June 18, 2013, the Company granted five-year stock options to directors, officers and employees to acquire 425,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share.  The stock options were 100% vested upon grant.

American Citizenship Center, LLC  
On January 6, 2012, the Company agreed to provide a $300,000 working capital loan to American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”), a related party company that provides 1) proprietary, automated on-line assistance for eligible immigrants to prepare for and obtain US citizenship; and 2) assistance in preparing and filing for Deferred Action for Undocumented Youth under a new policy developed by the Department of Homeland Security designed to allow certain people who did not intentionally violate immigration law to continue to live and work in the United States.  The Company received a $300,000 Note and a two year warrant to purchase 240,000 membership units (currently would equate to approximately 20% ownership) of ACC at an exercise price of $1.25 per unit.  The Note accrues interest at 7.5% (paid quarterly) on the outstanding balance, was payable in monthly installments of $75,000 commencing on March 31, 2013 and continuing until paid in full, provides for Alanco to have board of director representation and is secured by all assets and properties of ACC.  At both June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, Mr. Robert Kauffman, CEO of Alanco, was a personal investor in the membership units and owned approximately 10% of ACC.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, Alanco agreed to amend the loan agreement increasing the maximum amount available under the loan to $400,000.  The additional availability was granted under similar terms and conditions to the original agreement and was used by ACC to open an office in Los Angeles, CA.  Under the amended promissory note, the outstanding principal shall be reduced to at least $300,000 on or before December 31, 2013 and $100,000 on or before March 31, 2014.  The remaining balance shall be due in full on or before June 30, 2014.  In consideration for the loan, Alanco received an additional warrant to acquire 60,000 units of ACC at $1.25 per unit and the expiration date for all warrants issued to Alanco was extended to August 31, 2016. The Company considered the value of the ACC warrants to be immaterial at both June 30, 2013 and 2012 due to the startup nature of ACC and the significant premium (39%) of the exercise price compared to the most recent stock sales.  Therefore, no value has been recorded for these warrants.  At June 30, 2013 and 2012, ACC had an outstanding note balances under Alanco’s commitment of $375,000 and $300,000 respectively.

At June 30, 2013, the Company also had unpaid receivables due from ACC in the amount of $32,800, consisting of $27,000 in billings for accounting services and $5,800 representing one quarter of interest.  Subsequent to year end ACC made payments bringing balances current.

Notes payable – Other, related party

At June 30, 2012, notes payable included an unsecured convertible note due to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.  The note was a 10 day demand note in the amount of $28,000, bearing interest at 8% per annum, issued for additional working capital.  The note was convertible into Class A Common Stock at $2.24 per share.  Related interest expense for fiscal 2013 and 2012 was $2,300 and $1,700, respectively.  The note and accrued interest were paid in full prior to June 30, 2013.
 
14.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases – The Company’s corporate office is located at 7950 E. Acoma Drive, Suite 111, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260, in an approximately 1,500 square foot facility.  At June 30, 2013 the facility was leased under a month to month agreement requiring payment of approximately $1,600 per month (including rental tax).  Effective August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a one year lease requiring a monthly payment of approximately $1,700 (including rental tax).   Alanco also leased office equipment with a monthly payment of approximately $200 under a lease that expired in July 2013.

In fiscal 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc. ("AES"), a new wholly owned subsidiary, and through AES executed an agreement with TC Operating, LLC ("TCO") of Grand Junction, CO to transfer a land lease for approximately 24 acres near Grand Junction, CO (known as the Deer Creek site) with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, and termed "produced water". The agreement included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to construct the facilities.

The ten year land lease, effective May 1, 2012 has two additional ten year option periods that may be activated by AES.  The initial terms of the lease requires minimum monthly lease payments of $100 per acre (increasing to $150 and $200 per acre for the second and third ten year option periods, respectively) plus additional royalty payments based upon quantities of produced water received (approximately $.25 per barrel) at the site. The design and construction of the Deer Creek water disposal facility required certain changes to the Goodwin Solid Waste facility resulting in extra costs to the landlord (owner of Goodwin Solid Waste).  As incentive for the landlord to approve the facility design, AES agreed to limit landlord construction improvement costs related to the leased land to $200,000.  Included in the $200,000 limited amount was $100,000 of landlord improvement costs to be paid by AES and reimbursed through a 50% credit against the $.25 per barrel royalty payments due landlord discussed above.  Under certain circumstances, the acreage covered by the lease may be expanded by up to 50 acres to allow for additional expansion at the site.

In conjunction with acquiring the land lease, AES entered into a management services agreement, dated February 1, 2012, with TCO to assist in renegotiating terms of the land lease, assist in the design and construction of the Deer Creek water disposal facility and, when the construction is completed, provide general management services for the water disposal operations.  Compensation for the services provided was $10,000 per month until the actual start of permitted construction and $20,000 per month thereafter. During fiscal 2013, the management services agreement was amended; increasing the monthly payment to $23,000 to compensate TCO for providing increased administrative duties on behalf of AES.  The initial term of the agreement was through January 31, 2013 and is currently on a month to month basis.  The agreement may be terminated by either party upon 15 days prior written notice, however if the agreement is terminated by AES, TCO will receive severance equal to one month of the management fee.

Future minimum non-contingent payments as of June 30, 2013 are as follows:

The Company’s Stock Option Plans are administered by the Compensation/Administration Committee, currently comprised of two independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors.  Company stock options are issued to employees at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value, as determined under the option plan, on the date of grant and must be granted within 10 years from the effective date of the Plan, with the term of the option not exceeding 10 years. Options granted to employees under the Stock Option Plans, which are terminated prior to exercise, are considered to be available for grant to subsequent employees. Total issued stock options for any plan may exceed those authorized due to termination of prior non-exercised grants. Under the Employee Incentive Stock Option Plans, incentive and non-qualified stock options may be granted, with the incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Unless otherwise established by the Committee, the standard vesting schedule for incentive stock options is 10% vested immediately upon grant, 15% vested after twelve months from date of grant, 25% after two years from the date of grant, 25% after three years, and 25% after four years. Stock options issued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 vested quarterly over 15 months and options issued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 were immediately vested upon grant. All of the options have been or will be registered on Form S-8 filings. See Notes 1 and 2 for a discussion of the applicable accounting treatment of stock-based compensation for fiscal years 2013 and 2012.

ITEM 9A. 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, as of June 30, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  Management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods and dates presented.

(b)  MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 
With the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013, based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013 and determined that the Company’s controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
(c)  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.

Audit/Corporate Governance Committee

The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors is currently comprised of three independent directors, and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.  The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee Charter was included as Exhibit A in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on October 18, 2004.  The members of the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee are Harold S. Carpenter, a CEO with over 30 years senior management experience, James T. Hecker, an attorney and CPA, and Thomas C. LaVoy, a CPA.  All three individuals are experienced in reading and understanding financial statements, and, in fact, are deemed to be financial experts as defined by audit committee requirements.

The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company.  The auditor reports directly to the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee.  The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee has established “whistleblower” procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, including procedures for the confidential anonymous submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

Authority to engage independent counsel and other advisors has been given to the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee as it determines is necessary to carry out its duties.  The Company provides appropriate funding for the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee to compensate the independent registered public accounting firm and any lawyers and advisors it employs and to fund ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee that are necessary in carrying out its duties.

The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee provides general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting and disclosure practices, system of internal controls, and the Company’s processes for monitoring compliance by the Company with Company policies.  The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee reviews with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the scope of the audit for the year, the results of the audit when completed, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s fee for services performed.  The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee also recommends the independent registered public accounting firm to the Board of Directors and reviews with management various matters related to its internal accounting controls.  During the last fiscal year, there were two meetings of the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process.  The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and issuing a report thereon.  The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing and monitoring the quality of the Company’s accounting and auditing practices.

The members of the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and may not be experts in the fields of accounting or auditing, or in determining auditor independence.

The percentages for Class A Common Stock shown are calculated based upon 4,989,300 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on September 23, 2013.  The percentages for Total Voting Rights Percent of Class are calculated based upon 4,989,300 voting rights as of September 23, 2013.

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed by Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of the  Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $82,000 and $99,300, respectively.

Audit Related Fees
In each of the last two fiscal years, there were no fees billed for assurance related services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under the “Audit Fees” paragraph above.

Tax Fees
Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP prepared the Company’s tax returns for state and federal purposes.  Tax return preparation fees for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, were approximately $12,600 and $16,500, respectively.

All Other Fees
Other than the services described above under “Audit Fees”, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP did not provide other services.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The 2013 and 2012 audit services provided by Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP were approved by our Audit/Corporate Governance Committee.  The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee implemented pre-approval policies and procedures related to the provision of audit and non-audit services.  Under these procedures, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee pre-approves both the type of services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm and the estimated fees related to these services.  During the approval process, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee considers the impact of the types of services and related fees on the independence of the auditor.  These services and fees must be deemed compatible with the maintenance of the auditor’s independence, in compliance with the SEC rules and regulations.  Throughout the year, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee and, if necessary, the Board of Directors, reviews revisions to the estimates of audit and non-audit fees initially approved.
