Alanco Second Quarter Results.

Second Half Turnaround Underway

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Alanco Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ: ALAN), a leading provider of wireless tracking and asset management solutions, today announced that sales for its second quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $3,770,200, a decrease of $1,820,900, compared to sales of $5,591,100 for the same period of the prior year. The Company's Data Storage segment (Excel Meridian Data, Inc.) reported decreased sales of $917,200 due to an unusually large $945,000 sale recorded in the prior year second quarter that was not duplicated in the current quarter. The Company's Wireless Asset Management segment (StarTrak Systems) reported a sales decrease of $814,800 due to its inability to replace a contract with a large volume customer that significantly increased hardware sales in the prior year second quarter. StarTrak's sales shortfall was further impacted by delays in its new "Sentry" product introduction targeted at the refrigerated truck/trailer market that had been planned for the current quarter.

The second quarter loss from continuing operations was ($2,005,800), an increase of ($1,365,400), compared to the prior year period loss of ($640,400). Approximately 50% of the increase resulted from a decrease in gross profit related to the sales results discussed above. The balance of the increased loss was due to increased StarTrak SG&A expenses incurred to accelerate and complete commercialization of the new Sentry product line and increased corporate expenses in the quarter due to a one-time $300,000 insurance settlement recorded in the prior year.

Robert R. Kauffman, Alanco Chairman and CEO, commented, "The first half performance was obviously unacceptable, and management responded with an aggressive corporate-wide SG&A expense reduction program and a reorganization of StarTrak's technical staff to focus on the critical Sentry truck/trailer product commercialization project. These efforts led to an approximate $250,000 per quarter reduction in the Company's SG&A expenses and the successful introduction of the Sentry product line in November/December, 2007."

"Currently, midway into our third quarter, each of our three operating subsidiaries is on track to contribute to a significant narrowing of our total company operating loss in the current quarter, ending March 31, and realistic expectation of a complete operating turnaround and positive EBITDA in the final quarter ending June 30, 2008."

"StarTrak has resumed sales growth following successful commercialization of the new Sentry product line. An increased order backlog and major new account activity are projected to result in equipment sales and service revenues rebounding to over $3,000,000 in the current third quarter, and exceeding $4,500,000 in the fourth quarter. Assisted by the continued SG&A expense reduction program, we expect StarTrak to post a significantly narrowed loss in the current third quarter and achieve operating profitability in the final period."

"The large market potential of Alanco/TSI PRISM's RFID inmate tracking technology is, obviously, as yet, unrealized; however, we are cautiously optimistic that this unique technology to improve prison management, security and safety is finally poised for success. TSI PRISM currently has a sales backlog of over $2,000,000 with three projects underway, and a high probability $3.3 million U.S.A. metropolitan jail project award during the next 30 days. Consequently, we expect a dramatically improved TSI PRISM performance in the second half, resulting in a fourth quarter operating profit."

"Excel Meridian Data, under new leadership, has implemented a creative internet-based marketing outreach program to their small and medium business target market clients resulting in significant new sales activity. Also, aided by an SG&A expense reduction program commenced in November/December, Excel operations turned profitable in January, 2008, and are expected to remain so for the fiscal second half period."
