Ohio Approves Alanco TSI PRISM Contract.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Alanco Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ALAN), developer of the TSI PRISM(TM) RFID inmate tracking system for the corrections industry, announced today that the Ohio Controlling Board approved a contract authorizing the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) to acquire a TSI PRISM system for a pilot project at the Ross Correctional Facility in Chillicothe, Ohio. ODRC currently operates thirty-three adult facilities collectively housing approximately 44,000 inmates. The objective of the Ross/TSI PRISM pilot project will be to evaluate the technology for potential application throughout the Ohio prison system. The TSI PRISM contract is valued at $415,000 with system installation expected to begin within thirty days.

Alanco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Robert R. Kauffman commented, "The Ross project represents a significant milestone not only toward penetration of the large Ohio market for our TSI PRISM technology, but is also the first of several new contracts in final stages of award, primarily delayed due to protracted state procurement processes. In the near term, we anticipate significant new contracts in at least three states, with numerous opportunities progressing rapidly in additional major targeted states."

(NASDAQ: ALAN), headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, is the developer of the TSI PRISM RFID continuous tracking system for the corrections industry, which tracks the location and movement of inmates and officers, resulting in significant prison operating cost reductions and dramatically enhanced officer safety and facility security.
