                             AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION


     THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION ("Agreement") is made and
entered into as of the 21st day of June, 2000, by and among ALANCO
TECHNOLOGIES, INC., an Arizona corporation ("Alanco"), EXCEL/MERIDIAN DATA,
INC., an Arizona corporation ("EMD"), EXCEL COMPUTER CORPORATION, a Texas
corporation ("Excel"), RICHARD S. VANEK ("Vanek"), and STEVEN A. CRANDELL
("Crandell"), (Vanek and Crandell are sometimes collectively referred to herein
as the "Excel Shareholders").


RECITALS:

     Excel is engaged in the emerging high-growth potential market termed
"Storage Area Networks", or "SAN", and other computer storage related business.

     Alanco also is engaged in the SAN market and seeks complementary
businesses to expand its business in the SAN and related computer storage
market.

      The respective Boards of Directors of Alanco, EMD and Excel, as well as
the Excel Shareholders, who own all of the issued and outstanding stock of
Excel, have concluded that it is to their respective mutual advantage and
benefit to effect a reorganization whereby Excel will be merged into EMD, which
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alanco newly formed to merge with Excel as
described herein, pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with the
applicable statutes of the States of Texas and Arizona, intending the merger to
qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the 1986
Internal Revenue Code.


                                                     AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as
follows:

     1.0      The Merger.

     1.1      Transfer of Property and Liabilities.  Upon the Effective Date
(as defined in Section 11 hereof) of the merger, the separate existence of
Excel shall cease; all of the outstanding shares of stock of Excel shall be
exchanged for and converted into shares of common stock of Alanco or cash, as
hereinafter provided; and upon the filing of the Plan of Merger as well as
Articles of Amendment and Merger with the Arizona Corporation Commission and

                                1

     4.0      Representations and Warranties of Excel and the Excel
Shareholders.  Excel and the Excel Shareholders represent and warrant to Alanco
and EMD as follows, and acknowledge and confirm that Alanco and EMD are relying
upon such representations and warranties in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement, notwithstanding any investigation
made by Alanco or EMD or on their behalf:

     4.1.      Organization and Standing.  Excel is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Texas, has all of the requisite corporate power and authority and has all of
the licences, permits, authorities and consents that are necessary to own,
operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted.  Excel is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the property owned, leased or
operated by Excel or the nature of the business conducted by Excel makes such
qualification necessary.  Excel is not a party to or subject to any agreement,
consent decree or order, or other understanding or arrangement with, or any
directive of, any governmental authority or other person which imposes any
restriction or otherwise affects in any material way the conduct of its
business in any jurisdiction or location.  True and accurate copies of Excel's
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and By-laws, as presently in effect, are
attached as Schedule 4.1 to this Agreement.

     4.2.      Capitalization. The authorized capital of Excel consists solely
of 400,000 shares of Common Stock, all of which have been issued to and are
owned by the Excel Shareholders.  All issued shares of capital stock have been
validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.  There are

                                2

no options, warrants or other rights outstanding concerning the purchase or
acquisition of any shares of capital stock or similar equity or debt
instruments of Excel.

     4.3.      Subsidiaries.  Excel has no subsidiaries or affiliated companies
and does not otherwise presently own or control, directly or indirectly, any
other corporation, association, or other business entity.

     4.4.      Authorization.  Excel has all the requisite legal and corporate
power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.  All corporate action on the part of Excel
and its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization,
execution, delivery, and performance of all obligations of Excel under this
Agreement has been taken.  This Agreement, when executed and delivered, shall
constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Excel and the Excel
Shareholders, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     4.5.      Governmental Consents.  No consent, approval, order, or
authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or
filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on
the part of Excel in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of
this Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except
for the approval of the office of the Texas Secretary of State with respect to
the Articles of Merger to be filed therewith.

     4.6.      Compliance with Other Instruments.  Excel will not be, as a
result of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, in
violation of or default under any provision of its Articles of Incorporation or
By-laws, as amended and in effect on the date hereof, or of any provision of
any instrument, contract or lease to which it is a party, or to Excel's
knowledge, of any provision of any federal or state judgment, writ, decree,
order, statute, rule, or governmental regulation applicable to Excel.

     4.7.      Financial Statements.  An audited balance sheet, income
statement and statement of cash flows as of and for each of the fiscal years
ending December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, and an unaudited preliminary
balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows as of and for the
period ending April 30, 2000 for Excel or its predecessor (collectively, the
"Excel Financials"), are attached hereto as Schedule 4.7.

     The Excel Financials have been prepared by management, are true and
correct and fairly present the financial position of Excel as of their
respective dates and the results of its operations for the periods then ended
and contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation.  Excel has established a standard
system of accounting and has consistently carried out and administered the
same.  Except to the extent reflected or reserved against or disclosed in the
Excel Financial Statements, as of their respective dates, Excel has not
incurred any material liabilities or obligations of any kind, whether accrued,
absolute, contingent or otherwise, which should have been so reflected or
reserved against or disclosed (including, without limitation, all liabilities
to vendors and customers of Excel).

     As of May 31, 2000, Excel had a net tangible book value of at least
$449,500.

     4.8      Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.8
attached hereto, Excel has no liabilities or obligations, either absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise, which individually or in the aggregate are

                                3

materially adverse to the financial condition and business of Excel, which (i)
have not been reflected in the Excel Financial Statements, (ii) have not been
described in this Agreement or in any of the Schedules hereto, or (iii) have
not been incurred in the ordinary course of business since April 30, 2000,
consistent with past practices.

     4.9      Inventory.  The inventory of Excel, as reflected in the Financial
Statements, consists of a quality and quantity usable and saleable in the
ordinary course of business.  The net realizable  value of the inventory
exceeds the amount reflected on the April 30, 2000 Excel Financial Statement.
The inventory is stored and/or located at premises owned or leased by Excel or
at Excel's suppliers.  The value at which Excel's inventory is reflected in the
Excel Financial Statements is the cost thereof on a first-in, first-out basis
and reflects write-offs or write-downs for damaged or obsolete items in
accordance with the historical inventory policy and practices of Excel.  Excel
has not transferred inventory on consignment or granted return privileges to
any purchaser of its goods, other than in the ordinary course of business.

     4.10      Accounts Receivable.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.10, no
amount included in the accounts receivable of Excel as of April 30, 2000, has
been released for an amount less than the value at which it was included or is
currently regarded as unrecoverable in whole or in part except to the extent
there shall have been an appropriate bad debt reserve therefor.  Such
receivables are not, to the best knowledge of Excel, subject to any
counterclaim, refusal to pay or setoff not reflected in the reserves set forth
on the Excel Financial Statements.

     4.11.      No Prebillings.  Excel has not prebilled or received payment,
and Excel will not prebill or receive payment, from any of its accounts for
goods to be delivered or for services to be rendered or for expenses to be
incurred subsequent to the date hereof, other than in the ordinary course of
business, which shall amount to not more than $5,000.  Excel does not book any
such prebilling received as a sale, nor does it book any profit therefrom prior
to its actual shipment of the products ordered.

     4.12.     Changes.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.12, since December
31, 1999:

          (a)      Excel has not entered into any transaction which was not in
the ordinary course of business except (i) the acquisition by Excel of certain
assets of Quantum Snap Division Corporation in exchange for the payment of
$250,000 cash, the agreement to pay $50,000 ninety (90) days following such
acquisition, and the assumption of certain warranty liabilities in connection
therewith; and (ii) the borrowing of $250,000 on Excel's bank line of credit to
fund the cash portion of the foregoing acquisition.

          (b)      There has been no material adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise), business, property, assets or liabilities of Excel
other than changes in the ordinary course of business, none of which,
individually or in the aggregate, has been material;

          (c)      There has been no material damage to, destruction of or loss
of physical property (whether or not covered by insurance) adverse to the
business or operations of Excel;

          (d)      Excel has not increased the compensation of any of its
officers or the rate of pay of their employees as a group, except as part of
regular compensation increases in the ordinary course of business;


                                4

          (e)      There has been no resignation or termination of employment
of any key officer or employee of Excel, and Excel does not know of any
impending resignation or termination of employment of any such officer or
employee that if consummated would have an adverse effect on the business of
Excel, except the resignation of Crandell;

          (f)      There has been no labor dispute involving Excel or any of
its employees and none is pending or, to the best of Excel's knowledge,
threatened;

          (g)      There have not been any changes, except in the ordinary
course of business, in the contingent obligations of Excel, by way of guaranty,
endorsement, indemnity, warranty or otherwise (except as stated in sub-
paragraph (a) above);

          (h)      There have not been any loans made by Excel to any of its
employees, officers or directors other than travel advances and office advances
made in the ordinary course of business;

          (i)      To Excel's knowledge, there has been no litigation or
administrative agency charges or proceedings commenced involving, relating to
or affecting the business of Excel;

          (j)      Excel has not mortgaged or encumbered any of its Asset;

          (k)      Excel has not entered into any new material contracts or
agreements, or canceled, amended, modified adversely, waived any material
rights under, assigned, encumbered or terminated any of existing contracts or
agreements not in the ordinary course of business (except as stated in sub-
paragraph (a) above);

          (l)      Excel has not, directly or indirectly, sold, leased or
otherwise disposed of any of its Assets or made any capital expenditures,
except in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past
practices of Excel, or acquired any other business (except as stated in sub-
paragraph (a) above);

          (m)      Excel has not authorized or permitted the issuance, sale or
delivery, of any shares of any class of its capital stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any such shares, or any
warrants, calls, options, stock appreciation rights or other rights calling for
the issuance, sale or delivery of any such shares or convertible, exercisable
or exchangeable securities;

          (n)      Excel has not writen-down, canceled or forgave, in full or
in part, any accounts receivable of, or loans payable to Excel, other than in
the ordinary course of business; and

          (o)      There has been no other event or condition of any character
pertaining to and materially adverse to the assets or business of Excel.

     4.13      Title to Assets; Liens, etc.  The assets of Excel, both real,
personal and mixed, tangible and intangible, necessary or useful to the
operation of the business of Excel ("Assets") are in good condition and repair,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, and suitable for the uses intended.  The
Assets have been maintained in a state of good repair, and, in all respects,
comply with and are operated in conformity with all applicable laws,
ordinances, regulations, orders, permits and other requirements relating
thereto adopted or currently in effect.  Excel has good and marketable title to

                                5

the Assets, free and clear of all liens, other than the lien for current taxes
not yet due and payable and liens set forth on Schedule 4.13. Schedule 4.13
identifies and sets forth a complete list of each parcel of real estate or
interest therein owned or leased by Excel.  The buildings and improvements
owned or leased by Excel and the uses thereof do not contravene any zoning or
building law or ordinance or violate any restrictive covenant.  Each lease of
real property creates a legal, valid and enforceable leasehold interest in
favor of Excel, free and clear of all liens.  No default or event of default on
the part of Excel, as lessee or mortgagor, as the case may be, exists with
respect to any lease or mortgage (and related loan documents) with respect to
such real property.

     4.14      Patents and Other Intangible Intellectual Assets.

          (a)      Schedule 4.14 sets forth a complete and correct list of
Excel's intellectual property, including but not limited to domestic and
foreign patents, patent applications, written records of inventions, registered
and unregistered trademarks, trade names, service marks, certification marks,
copyrights and registration applications for the above, and licenses to and
from third parties relating to any of the above.

          (b)      Except as set forth in Schedule 4.14, Excel (i) has legal
and equitable title to, or has by license or other grant, the right to use,
free and clear of all liens, all proprietary technology or information,
patents, both domestic and foreign, all registered and unregistered trademarks,
trade names, service marks, certification marks, copyrights, and applications
for any and all of the above used in the conduct of its business as now
conducted; (ii) does not, to the best of Excel's knowledge, infringe upon the
patent, trademark, trade name, service mark, copyright or proprietary
information rights of any third party in the conduct of its business as now
conducted; (iii) is not obligated or under any liability whatsoever to make any
payments by way of royalties, fees or otherwise to any owner of, licensor of,
or other claimant to any patent, trademark, trade name, service mark,
certification mark, copyright or proprietary technology or information with
respect to the use thereof or in connection with the conduct of its business or
otherwise; (iv) has not licensed or granted any rights to any third parties
under its patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks, certification marks,
copyrights or proprietary technology or information used in the conduct of its
business; (v) has no notice, knowledge or belief that any of Excel's patents,
trademarks, trade names, service marks, certification marks or copyrights are
invalid, and all registrations, where filed, are subsisting and are registered
in the name of Excel; and (vi) has no notice, knowledge or belief that any of
the technology or information used in the conduct of its business was illegally
obtained.

          (c)      Excel employs procedures in its daily operations to maintain
the proprietary nature of, owns and has the unrestricted right to use all trade
secrets, including know-how, inventions, designs, processes, computer software
and documentation for such software and technical data required for or incident
to the development, manufacture, operation and sale of all products and
services sold by Excel, free and clear of any liens, including without
limitation, all claims of current and former employees, consultants, officers,
directors and stockholders of Excel.

     4.15.      Contracts and Obligations.  Set forth in Schedule  4.15 is a
list of all material written and oral agreements, contracts, indebtedness,
liabilities and other obligations to which Excel is a party or by which it is
bound which (a) obligate Excel to share, license or develop any product or
technology; (b) involve transactions or proposed transactions between Excel and

                                6

its officers, directors, stockholders, affiliates or any affiliate thereof; (c)
involve strategic arrangements or cooperation agreements; (d) involve
commitments for inventory items or supplies in excess of $10,000; (e) are for a
term longer than twelve (12) months; (f) are written distribution or dealer
agreements; (g) are with the United States of America; or (h) involve receipts
or expenditures by Excel greater than $50,000 in any twelve-month period.
Copies of written, and summaries of oral, agreements, contracts, indebtedness,
liabilities and obligations have been made available for inspection by Alanco.
 All such agreements are legal, valid and binding obligations and are in full
force and effect in all material respects.  Except as set forth in Schedule
4.15, Excel has avoided every condition and has not performed any act the
occurrence of which would result in Excel's loss of any right granted under any
license, distribution or other agreement.

     4.16      Catalogs and Promotional Literature.  To Excel's knowledge,

proprietary, personal or other right of any person.  Excel has provided Alanco
with, or made available to Alanco, copies of each catalog distributed by Excel
during the past two (2) years.

     4.17      Products; Warranty Provisions.

          (a)      Other than the standard warranties of Excel as set forth in
Schedule 4.17 or product manufacturer warranties, there are no product
warranties applicable to its business, whether express, implied or otherwise.
There is adequate provision in the Excel Financial Statements for liabilities
and obligations for damaged, defective or returned goods, or for replacement of
goods.

          (b)      Excel has no pattern of claims or actions based upon
allegations of the same or similar produ ct defect for any of its products.

          (c)      There has not been any material product recall, rework or
retrofit relating to any line of product manufactured, shipped or sold by
Excel, nor, to Excel's knowledge, is there any basis for any such product
recall, rework or retrofit.

     4.18      Conflicts of Interest; Transactions with Principals. Except as
described in Schedule 4.18, no officer, director or stockholder of Excel and no
affiliate (as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of any such
officer, director or stockholder has, either directly or indirectly, (a) an
interest in any corporation, partnership, proprietorship, association or other
person or entity which furnishes or sells services or products to Excel or
which purchases services or products from Excel or whose services or products
are similar to those furnished or sold by Excel, or (b) a beneficial interest
in any contract, agreement or commitment to which Excel may be bound.

     4.19      Outstanding Indebtedness.  Excel has no indebtedness for
borrowed money (including deferred compensation) which Excel has directly or
indirectly created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, or with respect to which
Excel has otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, other than as
disclosed in Schedule 4.19 or the Excel Financial Statements.

     4.20      Employees.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.20, Excel has no
employment contracts with any of its employees which are not terminable at will
or any consulting or independent contractor agreements with any individual or
entity, and it does not have any collective bargaining agreements covering any

                                7

of its employees.  There are no employee or labor disagreements or union
organization activities pending or threatened between Excel and its employees,
and Excel is not a party to any union or collective bargaining agreement.
Excel complied with all applicable federal and state equal employment
opportunity laws and other laws related to employment.  Excel is not aware that
any officer or key employee, or that any group of key employees, intends to
terminate their employment with Excel, whether as a result of the transactions
contemplated hereby or otherwise, nor does Excel have a present intention to
terminate the employment of any of the foregoing.  To Excel's knowledge, no
employee of Excel is in violation of any term of any employment contract,

insurance plans which provide for continuing benefits or coverage for any

          (f)      Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will result in any rights
under any of the Employee Benefit Plans becoming exercisable by the holders
thereof or result in the creation or vesting of any rights in such holder under

or increase the amount of compensation or benefits due to any director,
officer, employee or former employee of Excel.

or conveyance taxes which become payable with respect thereto.

     4.24      Insurance.  All Assets of Excel are covered by such fire,
casualty, product liability, environmental liability and other insurance
policies issued by reputable insurers as are customarily obtained to cover
comparable properties and assets by businesses in the region in which the
Assets are located, in amounts, scope and coverage which are reasonable in
light of existing conditions.  Schedule 4.24 sets forth a list and description
of all of the policies of insurance and fidelity or surety bonds carried by
Excel, including, but not limited to, fire, liability, product liability,
workers' compensation, officers' life, and directors' and officers' liability
insurance policies.  Excel has not failed to give any notice or present any
material claim under any insurance policy in due and timely fashion and all
insurance premiums due and payable by Excel in connection with the policies set
forth on Schedule 4.24 prior to the date hereof have been paid.  During the
past five (5) years, Excel has not experienced any uninsured losses in respect
of any claims against Excel, coverage for which claims customarily would be
provided by the policies set forth in Schedule 4.24 or predecessors thereto.
There are no outstanding written requirements or written recommendations by any
insurance company that issued a policy with respect to any of the Assets, by
any Board of Fire Underwriters or other body exercising similar functions or by

which might result in such increase, except for those conditions generally
applicable to the industry in which Excel is engaged in business.  There are no
material claims, actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or based upon any
of such policies of insurance, and, to the knowledge of Excel, no basis for any
such material claim, action, suit or proceeding exists.  There are no notices
of any pending or threatened terminations or substantial premium increases with

                               15

had an opportunity to discuss the business, management and financial affairs of
Alanco and its Subsidiaries with their management and an opportunity to review
the facilities of Alanco and its Subsidiaries.  Each such Excel Shareholder
understands that such discussions, as well as the written information provided
by Alanco, were intended to describe the aspects of Alanco's business and
prospects which it believes to be material but were not necessarily a thorough
or exhaustive description.

or performing any role relative to the arranging of the investment, he has
acted solely in his interest, and that neither he nor any of his agents or
employees have acted as an agent of Alanco or any subsidiary, or as an issuer,
underwriter, broker, dealer or investment advisor relative to the Common Stock
