PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

Alanco Technologies, Inc. (Stock Symbol: ALAN.OB) 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.  As discussed below and in footnotes to the Company’s attached consolidated financial statements, at June 30, 2011 the Company was effectively a holding company without operating entities.  The Company had stated in previous filings that its objective was to complete an appropriate merger (possibly a reverse merger) and remain an operating publicly traded company.

In previous SEC filings, Alanco reported three business segments: Data Storage, Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology.  During fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company announced a plan to divest the operations of the Company’s Data Storage segment and reinvest the proceeds in to the remaining operating units.  The divestiture plan was expanded during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 when the Company announced its plan to sell its RFID Technology segment.  Finally, the plan was expanded further when, on February 23, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement, subject to shareholder approval, to sell its Wireless Asset Management segment.  In compliance with the divestiture plan, the Data Storage segment was sold in March 2010 and the RFID Technology segment was sold in August 2010.  The sale of the Wireless Asset Management segment was approved by shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting on May 10, 2011, with the transaction closing approximately one week later.  As a result, as of June 30, 2011 all segment operations had been sold and the segment’s operating results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were reported as Discontinued Operations.   Prior period activity has been reclassified to report operating segments as discontinued operations and certain balances have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year’s presentation.

RECENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

Sale of StarTrak Systems, LLC

The operations of StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), a wholly owned subsidiary comprising the Company’s Wireless Asset Management segment, was sold to ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM”) effective May 16, 2011.  The transaction, valued at closing at approximately $17.7 million in cash, stock and assumption of debt, was structured as an asset purchase whereby ORBCOMM acquired substantially all of StarTrak’s assets and liabilities.  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.   (See Footnote 5 to enclosed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of the transaction.)

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NASDAQ Delisting Notice
 
The Company announced on May 20, 2011 that it had received notice from the Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “Staff”) that following Alanco’s May 16, 2011 sale of its subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), to ORBCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBC), the Staff had concluded that the Company is no longer eligible for continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market.  The Staff made its determination based on the discretionary authority afforded to NASDAQ under Listing Rule 5101.  In reaching its conclusion, the Staff noted that the Company “no longer has any operating business” following the sale of StarTrak.  Therefore, notwithstanding the fact that Alanco meets all quantitative requirements for continued listing, the Staff advised Alanco that it would be subject to delisting unless it requested a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”).  Accordingly, the Company requested a hearing, scheduled by Nasdaq for June 30, 2011, before the Panel.  In accordance with Nasdaq rules, Alanco’s common stock will remain listed on NASDAQ pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel following the hearing.  However, there was no assurance that the Panel would grant Alanco’s request for continued listing following the hearing.

NASDAQ Appeal Ruling

On July 25, 2011, the Company announced that it had received a ruling from The NASDAQ Stock Market that the Company’s appeal to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) had been denied and that trading in the Company’s stock would be suspended on The NASDAQ Stock Market at the open of business on Tuesday, July 26, 2011.  The Company’s common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB), and on the OTCQB™ Market, with quotes available on www.OTCBB.com and www.OTCMarkets.com, respectively.

The NASDAQ trading suspension is based upon NASDAQ Listing Rule 5101, which grants “broad discretionary authority to deny continued listing of the Company’s stock in order to maintain the public’s confidence in The NASDAQ Stock Market.”  The NASDAQ staff determined that upon the Company’s sale of its StarTrak Systems subsidiary, on May 16, 2011, Alanco had become a non-operating entity under NASDAQ policy.

Definitive Merger Agreement with YuuZoo Corporation

Alanco announced on June 29, 2011 that it executed a definitive agreement to merge with YuuZoo Corporation (www.yuuzoo.com), a global provider of mobile targeted social networks, targeted advertising and mobile payment systems.  The agreement was terminated on September 20, 2011 due to market conditions and our inability to complete due diligence.
 
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 a business combination.   We are continuing our investigation of various possible business combinations.  However, there is no assurance that we will be able to arrange or consummate a successful business combination which would allow us to continue as a going concern.

The loss of key personnel would have a negative impact on our business and business combination objectives.  Our strategy is reliant on key personnel who understand the merger and acquisition process.  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.

 
3

 
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Worsening general economic conditions may negatively affect our ability to complete an acceptable business combination and declining stock prices may negatively affect the value of our marketable securities.  Previous deterioration in general economic conditions resulted in reduced valuations and a decline in  merger and acquisition activities.

Acts of domestic terrorism and war have impacted general economic conditions and may impact our ability to complete a business combination or our ability to operate profitably.  On September 11, 2001, acts of terrorism occurred in New York City and Washington, D.C.  On October 7, 2001, the United States launched military actions on Afghanistan, and in 2003 launched military attacks on Iraq with ongoing operations in both areas.  As a result of those terrorist acts and military actions, there has been a disruption in general economic activity.  There may be other consequences resulting from those 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, 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 consummate a business combination  with an acceptable candidate 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 2011 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.  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 2011 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.
 
The majority of our assets are invested in ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stock (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 our primary asset.  Our agreement with ORBCOMM prevents us from liquidating the ORBCOMM stock at a rate in excess of 12.5% of such stock per month for the one-year period following the closing of sale of the StarTrak transaction.  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 would 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 acquired business operations, our future success will depend on our ability to attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified technical, sales, operations and managerial personnel.  At June 30, 2011, none of our executive officers are bound by an employment agreement, and none are covered by key-man insurance.

We may not be able to regain our NASDAQ listing. Effective July 26, 2011, trading of our Class A Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market was suspended because we do not currently have an operating business.  While our business plan is to acquire an operating business, by merger or otherwise, there can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire another operating business, or that we will be able to re-list on NASDAQ or any other exchange, and our stock may continue to be traded on the over the counter bulletin board market.

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.

 
4

 
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
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.

The market price of Alanco Class A Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control.  These factors include:
 
1.    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
 
2.    the loss of key management or technical personnel;
 
3.    the outcome of any current or future litigation;
 
4.    changes in our financial estimates by securities analysts;
 
5.    broad market fluctuations;
 
6.    recovery from natural disasters;and
 
7.    economic conditions in the United States or abroad.

Additional Risks if a Business Combination is Consummated

A business combination may be highly dilutive to our existing stockholders.  As a result of a business combination transaction, we may issue a substantial number of shares of our common stock and we may experience a change in control, resulting in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.

Some of the combined company's executive officers or shareholders may collectively beneficially own a majority of the outstanding common stock of the combined company following a business combination, and would then be able to control or exercise significant influence over the outcome of matters to be voted on by the combined company's stockholders.  Immediately following a business combination a limited number of persons or entities may collectively beneficially own a significant block of the outstanding common stock of the combined company. Accordingly, such persons or entities may be able to control or exercise significant influence with respect to the election of directors, offers to acquire the combined company and other matters submitted to a vote of the combined company's stockholders.

The combined company may be unable to attract and retain, or have access to, qualified personnel in the markets the combined company would serve, which could adversely affect its results of operations by impairing its ability to grow and provide competitive services.  The combined company’s ability to provide its customers with competitive services and grow partially depends on its ability to attract and retain highly motivated people with the skills to serve its customers in a cost effective way. If the combined company is unable to hire or otherwise obtain cost-effective access to skilled personnel in its markets, its operations may suffer. In addition, the combined company will be subject to the risk of management and employee disruption associated with the business combination transaction, including the risk that key technical, marketing and management personnel might not remain employed by the combined company through the consummation of the business combination transaction.

The market price for the combined company's common stock may be highly volatile after the business combination transaction, which could impair the value of the combined company's common stock and result in litigation against the combined company. The price of the combined company's common stock could further decline due to the impact of any of the following factors:

·  
failure to meet its sales goals or operating budget;

·  
decline in demand for its common stock;

·  
revenues and operating results failing to meet expectations of securities analysts or investors in any quarter;

·  
downward revisions in operating performance estimates or changes in general market conditions;

·  
technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies;

·  
investor perception of its industry or prospects; or

·  
general economic trends.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Market fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and therefore are beyond our control. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. The combined company may become the target of similar litigation, which could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources.

Resales by the business combinations candidate’s stockholders of shares issued to them in any business combination transaction or by stockholders who purchase securities in new financings may depress the market price of the combined company's common stock.  While the combined company may not be required to register for public resale the shares of common stock issued in a business combination transaction, such shares will become salable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Future resales of these shares of common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the combined company's common stock. We cannot assure you as to when, and how many of, those shares will be resold and the effect those sales may have on the market price of the combined company's common stock.
 
The costs and effects of litigation, investigations or similar matters could adversely affect the combined company's financial position and results of operations.  The combined company may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation, investigations or similar matters arising out of its business. The combined company's insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against it, and any claims asserted against them, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm the combined company's reputation. If the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation or investigation significantly exceed insurance coverage, they could adversely affect the combined company's financial position and results of operations. In addition, the combined company may be unable to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future.
 
Additional Risks Because a Business Combination May Result in a Corporation Becoming Public Through a “Reverse Merger” Process.
 
Because a business combination candidate may become public by means of a "reverse merger," the combined company may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.  Additional risks may exist since the business combination candidate may become public through a "reverse merger" with us. Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of such a combined company. We cannot assure you that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of such a combined company in the future.
 
The business combination transaction may involve a reverse merger of a non-public company into us and the management of such non-public company may become the management of the combined company. As a result, there is no history of compliance with United States securities laws and accounting rules by the management of the combined company.  The combined company management may have no experience in managing and operating a United States public company. Any failure to comply or adequately comply with federal securities laws, rules or regulations could subject us to fines or regulatory actions, which may materially adversely affect the combined company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Additional Risks if a Business Combination Transaction Is Not Consummated
 
We have limited cash resources available to continue our operations and our efforts to consummate a business combination transaction. Accordingly, if we are unable to timely consummate a business combination transaction or raise needed capital in the future, we may be unable to fund operating cash shortfalls.  We have limited cash resources, and these resources may diminish in the future. Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including our consummation of an appropriate business combination transaction, and the development of new business opportunities, future strategic mergers and/or acquisitions. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $783,000 of cash and cash equivalents and $6.6 million of investment assets. Our total cash "burn” rate is estimated to be approximately $70,000 per month.
 
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in connection with the consummation of a business combination transaction.  We do not have any debt instruments in place that we could use for future borrowings. Thus, if a business combination transaction is not timely consummated, we may be forced to seek additional capital in order to continue our operations. There is no assurance that such additional capital will be available. We could find it necessary to pursue a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution. In that event, we would incur additional costs related to the disposal of our remaining assets, which would reduce or eliminate the cash available for distribution.

ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Alanco moved its corporate offices on July 8, 2011 to 7950 E. Acoma Drive, Suite 111, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260, into an approximately 1,500 square foot facility.  The new facility is under a thirteen month lease of $1,471 per month (including rental tax) that expires on July 31, 2012.

At June 30, 2011, the Company’s corporate office was located in an approximate 2,000 square foot facility in Scottsdale, Arizona.  The space had been part of an approximately 9,800 square foot facility previously leased by Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. (“TSI”) under a multiyear lease that expired on July 31, 2011.  The TSI lease had been effectively terminated by the sale of TSI assets to Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. in August 2010.  Subsequent to that sale, the landlord entered into a new lease with Black Creek and at June 30, 2011, Alanco was using approximately 2,000 square feet under a month to month lease.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings - The Company’s subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, has been made a defendant concerning certain patent infringement claims as follows:

Arrivalstar S.A., et all. v. StarTrak Systems, LLC, et al.  Case No.: 4:10-CV-0033.  This action was a patent infringement action venued in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana.  StarTrak believes that the plaintiff’s patents are invalid due to prior art, based, in part, upon the substantial commercial activity concerning the patent claims long before the patents were applied for or issued.  However, StarTrak has resolved the action by agreeing to pay $70,000 for fourteen monthly payments of $5,000 each, thus avoiding substantially greater expenses that would be incurred in defending the action.  This liability has been assumed by ORBCOMM.

Innovative Global Systems LLC v. StarTrak Systems, LLC, et al.  Case No.: 6:10-CV-00327.  This action is another patent infringement action venued in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.  Again, StarTrak believes that the plaintiff’s patents are invalid due to prior art, based, in part, upon the substantial commercial activity concerning the patent claims long before the patents were applied for or issued. Similarly, StarTrak has resolved the action by agreeing to pay $77,500, with a like amount to be paid by ORBCOMM, thus avoiding substantially greater expenses that would be incurred in defending the action.  See Note 5 – Sale of Operating Segments in the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on escrow accounts.

StarTrak has been served with a Third-Party Complaint by Great American Lines, Inc. and related parties in a lawsuit against them by certain freight shippers in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey, being Case No. 3:10-ev-02023-JAP-TJB.  The main case against Great American Lines involves allegations concerning a stolen trailer containing freight owned by the plaintiffs resulting in a cargo loss estimated by Great American Lines at $8.8 million.  Great American Lines has brought its Third-Party Complaint against StarTrak alleging that StarTrak breached its contract with Great American Lines to allow Great American Lines to track its trailer and for indemnity.  StarTrak has tendered its defense in the lawsuit to its insurance company, which has accepted defense of the action under a reservation of rights declaration. The Company’s management believes that the suit is without merit and the Company will vigorously defend itself in the matter.

The Company may also, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business.  As of June 30, 2011 there was no other such litigation pending deemed material by the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On May 10, 2011 Alanco Technologies, Inc. held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders at the Company’s offices in Scottsdale, Arizona for the purpose of considering four proposals.  The Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement, outlining details of the proposals was filed with the SEC on April 11, 2011.  The following proposals were voted upon by 4,669,047 shares, or 67.6% of the 6,903,954 shares eligible to vote, constituting a quorum.   The final voting results by proposal are listed below.

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

The Company refers to Alanco Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  As discussed below and in footnotes to the Company’s attached consolidated financial statements, at June 30, 2011 the Company was effectively a holding company without operating entities.  The Company had stated in previous filings that its objective was to complete an appropriate merger (possibly a reverse merger) and remain an operating publicly traded company.

In previous SEC filings, Alanco reported three business segments: Data Storage, Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology.  During fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company announced a plan to divest the operations of the Company’s Data Storage segment and reinvest the proceeds in to the remaining operating units.  The divestiture plan was expanded during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 when the Company announced its plan to sell its RFID Technology segment.  Finally, the plan was expanded further when, on February 23, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement, subject to shareholder approval, to sell its Wireless Asset Management segment.  In compliance with the divestiture plan, the Data Storage segment was sold in March 2010 and the RFID Technology segment was sold in August 2010.  The sale of the Wireless Asset Management segment was approved by shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting on May 10, 2011, with the transaction closing approximately one week later.  As a result, as of June 30, 2011 all segment operations had been sold and the segment’s operating results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were reported as Discontinued Operations.   Prior period activity has been reclassified to report operating segments as discontinued operations and certain balances have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year’s presentation.

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, valuation of contingent and non-cash consideration received in the sale of the Wireless Asset Management segment, the estimated fair value of stock based compensation, expense recognition, realization of deferred tax assets and accruals and contingencies.  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.

The SEC suggests that all registrants list 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, the reclassification and valuation of marketable securities and fair value of financial instruments.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Results of Operations

In compliance with the Company’s previously announced divestiture plan and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company is not reporting operating revenues for fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 because, as of June 30, 2011 all business segments had been sold.  Fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 operating results for the business segments are reported as Discontinued Operations.

Operating Expense
Operating expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,179,800, an increase of $233,500, or 24.7%, compared to the $946,300 reported for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase was due to increases in salary compensation and increases in stock based compensation related to the repricing in fiscal year 2011 of certain stock options.  The Company had reduced executive salary levels during fiscal year 2010 to conserve cash and had reinstated the original compensation levels on July 1, 2010 under the agreement that the salary increases would be deferred until Company shareholders had an opportunity to approve the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan.  That plan would allow the deferred amounts to be paid in Class A Common Stock of the Company.  The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 10, 2011 with the stock payments completed by June 30, 2011.  Amortization of stock-based compensation (Black Scholes value of granted and repriced stock options) increased $91,600, or 84.4%, to $200,100, compared to $108,500 reported for the previous year due to the re-pricing of certain stock options in September 2010.  Depreciation expense was $1,000 in fiscal 2011 compared to $800 in fiscal 2010.

Other Income and Expense
Net interest expense decreased $412,200, or 47.8%, to $450,100 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net interest expense of $862,300 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in interest expense resulted from reductions in average interest rates paid and average borrowing during the year.

Loss from Continuing Operations
Loss from continuing operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was ($1,839,500), a 4.3%, or $81,900 improvement when compared to the loss of ($1,921,400) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.  The improvement was due to decreases in interest expense of $412,200 offset by increases in operating loss.

Discontinued Operations
Total Consolidated Income from Discontinued Operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,781,700 compared to a loss of ($7,206,000) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, an improvement of $8,987,700.  $6,320,900 of the improvement resulted from reduced losses in discontinued operations, reporting a consolidated loss of ($885,100) in the current fiscal year compared to a loss of ($7,206,000), including ($4,873,700) of goodwill impairment charges, reported for the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2010;  $1,294,000 of the improvement was due to a gain on sale of Assets Held for Sale reported for year ended June 30, 2011, compared to zero reported on Sale of Assets Held for Sale in the prior year; and finally, $1,372,800 of the improvement resulted from the income recognized on dissolution of Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. (“TSI”), previously classified as discontinued operations.  The assets of TSI were sold in a transaction discussed in the attached audited financial statements with proceeds of the sale going to secured lenders; therefore, TSI does not have assets available to satisfy the $1,372,800 in recorded liabilities at time of dissolution of the subsidiary.  The stock of the subsidiary was sold in June 2011 to an independent third party for an immaterial amount.  Given these facts and circumstances and discussion with legal counsel, Alanco believes that it has no exposure to these liabilities.  See Note 5 – Sale of Operating Segments for additional discussion of the sale of segment operations.  

The following table is a summary of the results of discontinued operations and other financial information by major segment:

Discontinued Operations Net Sales
Net sales reported by the Wireless Asset Management segment through May 16, 2011 of $13,740,800, represented most of the consolidated reported sales for fiscal year ended  June 30, 2011 for discontinued operations.  The $13,740,800 reported sales for the ten and one half months ended May 16, 2011 was a decrease of $891,600, or 6.1%, when compared to Wireless Asset Management segment sales reported for the entire twelve months ended June 30, 2010 of $14,632,400; however, comparing the average monthly net sales in fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2010, average monthly net sales actually increased by approximately $90,000, or 7.4%, over the average monthly sales for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.  The Data Storage segment was sold in March of fiscal 2010 and therefore had no reported revenues for fiscal 2011.  The RFID Technology segment was sold in August 2010 and for fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 reported only $38,700 in sales compared to $829,400 reported in the comparable twelve months of the prior fiscal year.

Discontinued Operations Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit from discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $5,580,000, a decrease of $170,900, or 3.0%, compared to $5,750,900 in gross profit reported for fiscal year 2010.  The Wireless Asset Management portion of the gross profit amounted to $5,566,500, representing an increase of $209,700, or 3.9%, compared to $5,356,800 reported for the year ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in Wireless Asset Management portion of gross profit reflects improved gross margins realized during the ten and one half months reporting period in fiscal 2011 compared to gross margins realized for the twelve month reporting period in the prior fiscal year.  The net decrease in gross profit was due to the sale of the RFID Technology segment in early fiscal year 2011 and the Data Storage segment in fiscal year 2010 as previously discussed.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Discontinued Operations Selling, General & Administrative Expense
Wireless Asset Management segment reported total selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, of $6,351,800, an increase of $357,600, or 6.0%, compared to $5,994,200 reported for the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to higher selling and engineering costs compared to the prior year.  SG&A comparisons for the RFID and Data Storage segments are not relevant due their previous discussed segment sales.

The Company recorded, during fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, an impairment charge of $4.5 million against the goodwill value of the RFID Technology segment in recognition of reduced value substantiated by the terms of the August 2010 sale of the RFID Technology segment.  The Data Storage segment also recorded a $373,700 impairment charge against Data Storage segment goodwill in fiscal year 2010 in recognition of reduced segment values.

Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2011 was ($57,800) compared to a loss of ($9,127,400).  The $9,069,600 improvement resulted from improvements in discontinued operations as discussed above.

Dividends
Preferred stock dividend expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was $268,700, a decrease of $116,600, or 30.3%, compared to the $385,300 in preferred stock dividends recorded in the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease was due to the conversion of convertible preferred shares into Class A Common Shares, the acquisition and retirement of 500,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Shares from ORBCOMM who submitted the shares as additional consideration in the purchase of StarTrak and the retirement of preferred stock outstanding through an exchange offer whereby the Company exchanged the remaining Series D and Series E convertible Preferred Stock for ORBCOMM Series A preferred stock acquired in the sale of StarTrak to ORBCOMM.  At June 30, 2011, no Series D and Series E preferred stock remained outstanding.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to ($326,500), or ($.06) per share, an improvement of $9,186,200 when compared to a loss of ($9,512,700), or ($2.22) per share, reported in the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.  The improvement is reflective of the Company’s divestiture plan resulting in the sale of its RFID Technology and Wireless Asset Management segments during the current fiscal year.

Other Comprehensive Income
The Company reported market value gain on securities held during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 of $466,500.  The marketable securities consisted of ORBCOMM (NASDAQ: ORBC) Common Stock that the Company received in the sale of the assets of its StarTrak subsidiary to ORBCOMM.  The amount represents the increase in market value between the closing of the May 16, 2011 sale transaction of $2.91 per share and the $3.13 per share market value at June 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $7,028,400 at June 30, 2011, representing a current ratio of 13.1 to 1.  At June 30, 2010 the Company's current assets exceeded current liabilities by $9,983,300 and reflected a current ratio of 1.95 to 1.  The improvement in current ratio at June 30, 2011 versus June 30, 2010 resulted from the assets received and debt paid in the Company’s sale of its StarTrak Systems, LLC subsidiary to ORBCOMM Inc.

Net cash used in continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 was ($1,386,500) compared with net cash used in operating activities for the prior fiscal year of ($3,686,700).  The decrease of $2,300,200 resulted from a significant reduction in loss from discontinued operations in fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year.  See below for management's discussion of major items affecting the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2011 was $149,900 compared to no accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 and represents amounts due the Company related to the sale of its StarTrak Systems, LLC subsidiary.

 
12

 
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Net cash provided from investing activities during the current year was $3,026,600, an increase of $3,002,300 compared to net cash provided in investing activities in fiscal 2010 of $24,300.   The current year increase was due primarily to the sale of the Company’s Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology segments.

Net cash used in financing activities during fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 amounted to ($1,257,400), a decrease of $4,906,800 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3,649,400 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.  During fiscal year 2010, the Company raised over $3.1 million through the sale of preferred stock.  During the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company repaid net borrowings by $2,427,900 compared to increase in net borrowing for the year ended June 30, 2010 of $264,400.

At June 30, 2011, the Company reported approximately $6.6 million in ORBCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ:  ORBC) Common Stock which it received as part of the Company’s sale of its StarTrak Systems, LLC subsidiary in May 2011.  See Note 6 – Marketable Securities – Restricted to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on the ORBCOMM investment.
 
Although management cannot assure that a future operation will be acquired, 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, operating projections, 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 2012 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.  Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate and do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alanco Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 and 2010 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.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.         NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations - Alanco Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in Arizona in 1969.

Alanco Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) sold substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of its remaining operations (Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. and StarTrak Systems, LLC) during fiscal year 2011 and at June 30, 2011 the Company was a holding company without operating entities.  The Company has stated in previous filings that its objective is to complete a merger (possibly a reverse merger) and remain an operating publicly traded company.  To that objective, on June 29, 2011 the Company announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with YuuZoo Corporation (a private company with corporate offices in Singapore), subject to the completion of due diligence and shareholder approval of both companies. The agreement was terminated on September 20, 2011 due to market conditions and Alanco’s inability to complete its due diligence.  Alanco is continuing its search for merger and/or acquisition candidates.

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, 2011 and 2010 include, where appropriate, the accounts of Alanco Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. (“ATSI”), Excel/Meridian Data, Inc. (“Excel”), Fry Guy Inc. (“Fry Guy”) and StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”) (collectively, the “Company”).  The operating results for ATSI, Excel and StarTrak for both fiscal years 2011 and 2010 are presented as discontinued operations.  All subsidiaries are Arizona corporations, except Fry Guy Inc., which is a Nevada corporation, and StarTrak Systems, LLC, which is a Delaware LLC.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications – Certain balances have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable - The Company historically provided for potentially uncollectible receivables by use of the allowance method. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based upon a review of the individual accounts outstanding and the Company's prior history of uncollectible accounts.  At June 30, 2011, the $149,900 accounts receivable balance was due from StarTrak, and is an amount which has been specifically assumed by the buyer of StarTrak and no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded. 

 
Marketable Securities – 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 market 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 has classified all of its marketable securities as available for sale.

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 Financial Instruments – The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.  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.  These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, 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.

Furniture and Office Equipment – Furniture and Office Equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, of $6,700 and $900 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method, generally over a 3 to 10-year period.  Currently all furniture and office equipment is being amortized over 3 years.  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.  Related depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, was $1,000 and $800, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets – ASC requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations.   It also provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of intangible assets.  The ASC requires that goodwill and identifiable acquired intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired.  The ASC also requires the amortization of identifiable assets with finite useful lives.  Identifiable acquired intangible assets, which are subject to amortization, are to be tested for impairment in accordance with ASC.

The Company sold its remaining business segments during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, thereby eliminating all goodwill and intangible assets as of June 30, 2011.  See Footnote 5 - Sale of Operating Segments for additional discussion of segment sales.  During previous fiscal years, the Company had performed an annual goodwill impairment assessment which involved estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing it with the carrying amount. The Company determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to the reporting units. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, additional steps were followed to recognize a potential impairment loss.  Calculating the fair value of the reporting units required significant estimates and assumptions by management.  The Company estimated the fair value of its reporting units based on independent third party appraisals or sales of the reporting units’ assets.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a $4,873,700 impairment adjustment to the carrying amount of its goodwill.  $4.5 million was recorded against the carrying value of Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. with the balance recorded against the carrying value of Excel/Meridian Data, Inc.  See Footnotes 3 – Assets Held for Sale and Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale and Footnote 4 – Discontinued Operations for additional discussion.
 
Intangible assets consist of goodwill, the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired and other intangible assets, including cost of licenses, patents, developed software, etc.  See Impairment of Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets below for additional discussion of valuation for Intangible Assets.

Other intangible assets consist of the following:

The amortization expenses for aggregate other intangible assets for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $376,800 and $431,000, respectively.

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 likely than not, that a future tax assets will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

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, valuation of contingent and non-cash consideration received in the sale of the Wireless Asset Management segment, the estimated fair value of stock based compensation, expense recognition, realization of deferred tax assets and accruals and contingencies.  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 further 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 or for goodwill, at least on an annual basis. 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.  Impairment charges recorded during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 were $4,873,700.  No impairment charge was recorded in fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

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 2011 and 2010, 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 638,400 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding at June 30, 2011 with exercise prices ranging between $1.50 and $20.00. The weighted average exercise price for all outstanding options was $1.62.  Stock warrants representing 201,100 Class A Common Shares were outstanding at June 30, 2011 with exercise prices ranging between $1.92 and $14.40.  The weighted average exercise price was $5.77.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At June 30, 2011, Preferred Stock outstanding included 122,600 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value per share of $10.00, which are convertible into Class A Common shares at a ratio of .65 shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred.   In addition, $28,000 of a note due to an officer is convertible at $2.24 per share, or 12,500 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Stock Options Plans - The Company has stock-based compensation plans and effective July 1, 2006 the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC.  Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after June 30, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC.  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 fair value 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 term for current year option modifications was determined based upon the remaining contractual term;

·  
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, 2011, deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits amounted to $153,100.  The Company currently has a substantial amount of its assets invested in ORBCOMM Common Stock, received as partial consideration in the sale of Wireless Asset Management segment.  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 Footnote 6 - Marketable Securities - Restricted for additional discussion of the investment.

Segment Information – The ASC defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. See Note 4 – Discontinued Operations for further information related to the Company’s segments classified as discontinued operations.

 
Reverse Stock Split - The Company announced on August 26, 2010 that the Board of Directors had elected to effect a 1 for 8 reverse split that was effective on Friday, August 27, 2010.  The Company had previously received authority from its shareholders to effect a reverse split at a ratio within a specified range, if and as determined by the Board of Directors, in order to maintain its NASDAQ listing.

 
As a result of the reverse split, each eight (8) shares of the Company’s Class a Common Stock outstanding at the time of the reverse split was automatically reclassified and changed into one share of common stock, and the total number ofcommon shares outstanding was reduced from approximately 41.7 million shares to approximately 5.2 million shares, post-split.  The reverse stock split resulted in the same adjustment to the Company’s outstanding stock options and securities reserved for issuance under its current incentive plans.   No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split.  Upon surrender of their stock certificates, shareholders have received, or will receive, cash in lieu of the fractional shares to which they would otherwise be entitled.  All per share amounts and outstanding shares, including all common stock equivalents (stock options, warrants and convertible securities) have been restated in the Consolidated Financial

Statements, the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the calculation of the weighted average common shares outstanding and loss per share for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

In April 2011, the FASB issued guidance which addresses agreements that entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity.  The guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period on or after December 15, 2011.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance which applies to measurement and disclosure of fair value of assets, liabilities, or instruments in shareholder’s equity.  The guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and does not permit early application.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on the reporting of comprehensive income.  The guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted.  The Company has adopted the guidance which had no effect on its financial position and results of operations.

 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, 2011 and 2010 were:

    The Company issued new shares upon the exercise of the 210,600 stock options exercised in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.  As of June 30, 2011, all Black Scholes values related to above stock
    options had been expensed.

3.        ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND LIABILITIES RELATED TO ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

In previous SEC filings, Alanco reported three business segments: Data Storage, Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology.  During fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company announced a plan to divest the operations of the Company’s Data Storage segment and reinvest the proceeds in to the remaining operating units.  The divestiture plan was expanded during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 when the Company announced its plan to sell its RFID Technology segment.  Finally, the plan was expanded further when, on February 23, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement, subject to shareholder approval, to sell its Wireless Asset Management segment.  In compliance with the divestiture plan, the Data Storage segment was sold in March 2010 and the RFID Technology segment was sold in August 2010.  The sale of the Wireless Asset Management segment was approved by shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting on May 10, 2011, with the transaction closing approximately one week later.  As a result, as of June 30, 2011 all segment operations had been sold and the segment’s operating results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were reported as Discontinued Operations.   Prior period activity has been reclassified to report operating segments as discontinued operations and certain balances have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year’s presentation.
 
 
In accordance with the divestiture plan, the Data Storage segment was sold in March 2010, the RFID Technology segment was sold in August 2010 and the sale of the Wireless Asset Management segment was approved by shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting on May 10, 2011, with the sale effective May 16, 2011.  As a result, all segment operations were reported as Discontinued Operations for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.  Accordingly, at June 30, 2011 there were no “Assets Held for Sale” or “Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale”.  Assets Held for Sale as of June 30, 2010 are presented in the following table and consist of the RFID Technology segment, remaining assets and liabilities of the Data Storage segment and the Wireless Asset Management segment.  The reclassification of those segment's assets and liabilities to “Assets Held for Sale” and “Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale” does not affect the reported net loss for the periods presented.

5.        SALE OF OPERATING SEGMENTS

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

The operations of StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), a wholly owned subsidiary comprising the Company’s Wireless Asset Management segment, was sold to ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM”) effective May 16, 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.  
Cancellation  and termination of all outstanding obligations of Alanco and StarTrak to ORBCOMM under the Secured Promissory Note (as defined below), including the then outstanding principal amount of $300,000 plus interest and fees, if any, due thereunder as of the closing date;
4.  
Delivery to Alanco of 500,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of Alanco having a face amount of $2,250,000;
5.  
Delivery to Alanco of 1,212,748 shares of Alanco Class A Common Stock with a closing value of $1.03 per share;
6.  
Issuance and delivery to Mellon Investor Services LLC, as escrow agent, (“Mellon”) of 249,917 shares of ORBCOMM common stock (“ORBCOMM Stock”) registered in the name of Alanco and valued at closing at $2.91 per share, which escrowed shares will be available to pay for half of the out of pocket costs incurred as a result of certain litigation currently pending against StarTrak;
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, shares returned to ORBCOMM in payment of the litigation costs would be valued at $3.001 per share; therefore 33,322 shares would be returned to ORBCOMM in settlement of the litigation costs.  Upon distribution of the shares to ORBCOMM from the escrow account, the remaining shares would be distributed to Alanco.  Final distribution of the escrow shares is pending a review by Alanco of legal fees and expenses included by ORBCOMM in the calculations.  We expect all remaining shares under this escrow agreement to be distributed by October 31, 2011.  To recognize at June 30, 2011 the potential return of ORBCOMM shares under this agreement, Alanco has reduced the balance of the Marketable Securities – Restricted by the value of 33,322 shares.

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.  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 shares to ORBCOMM from the escrow account, the remaining shares would be distributed to Alanco.  To recognize at June 30, 2011 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.  The 83,306 shares reduction is based on management's best estimate of the warranty costs at June 30, 2011.  The ultimate number of shares of ORBCOMM Common Stock to be returned to ORBCOMM in the final settlement is currently undeterminable.  Final distribution under this escrow agreement is anticipated to be completed by April 30, 2012, after the warranty costs have been determined for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2012.

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 agreed to extend the resolution period to November 24, 2011 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, 2011.  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 reviewing the working capital calculations and no resolution had been reached.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information.  The Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E”) referred to in number 4 above was issued originally to ORBCOMM, at the time a supplier of StarTrak, by Alanco in April 2010 in a private placement offered to accredited investors.  ORBCOMM invested $2.25 million in exchange for 500,000 shares ($4.50 per share stated value) of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.  Upon receipt of the Series E by Alanco, the shares were immediately retired with no gain or loss recognized.  The fair value measurement of the Series E is based upon unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement.  As discussed in Footnote 12 – Shareholders’ Equity, the Company exchanged the ORBCOMM Series A Preferred Stock that it received from the sale of the StarTrak Operations with the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock held by primarily unrelated third parties of an equal stated value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock that it received from the sale of StarTrak Operations based upon the value of the ORBCOMM Series A Preferred Stock, which valuation is discussed below.

The 1,212,748 shares of Alanco’s Class A Common Stock (“Class A”) received per number 5 above were valued at $1.03 per share, which approximates the trading price on May 16, 2011.  Alanco Class A Common stock was traded at the time under the NASDAQ Capital Markets under the trading symbol “ALAN”.  The fair value measurement is based on quoted prices for identical assets traded in active markets, and thus represents a Level 1 fair value measurement.

The total of 2,237,111 shares of ORBCOMM Common Stock (NASDAQ: ORBC) valued at $2.91 per share (closing price at May 16, 2011) discussed in items 6 through 8 above are 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 279,638 shares (12 ½% of the total shares) per month.  The sale restriction discussed above is why the fair value measurement of June 30, 2011 of ORBCOMM's Stock is based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable and thus represent a Level 2 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.

ORBCOMM also issued 183,550 new shares of ORBCOMM Series A ($10.00 per share stated value) Convertible Preferred Stock, per item 9 above, valued at $1,835,500.  The $1,835,500 stated value represented the identical stated value of Alanco outstanding Series D and Series E Preferred Stock.  Upon receipt of the ORBCOMM preferred stock, Alanco immediately offered the Series A Preferred Shares to Alanco’s remaining Series D and Series E Preferred shareholders on an equal exchange based on stated values.  The offer was

 

 
31
 
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

accepted by all remaining Series D and Series E Preferred shareholders resulting in the retirement of all of Alanco’s outstanding Series D and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock prior to June 30, 2011.  The face value of the ORBCOMM Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is $1,835,500 and the estimated fair value is approximately $1,833,000.  The fair value measurement is based upon observable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement.  To estimate the fair value of the ORBCOMM Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company used a valuation model which is based on both a market and income approach.  The significant inputs for the valuation model include the following:

Annual dividend yield
4%
Discount rate
8.5%
Expected volatility
73%
Expected term
5 - 10 years
Risk-free interest rate
2.4%
Exercise price
$6.00
 
    The difference between the recorded face value and the estimated fair value is immaterial and no adjustment was recorded.
 
   
 
Contingent Earn Out Amount - In addition to the Closing Consideration discussed above, up to an additional amount of approximately $1.17 million in contingent payments (the “Earn Out Amount”) is payable to Alanco by ORBCOMM if certain revenue milestones of the StarTrak business are achieved for the 2011 calendar year (the “Earn-Out Period”), ranging from approximately $194,000 in payout for total revenue of $20 million in the Earn-Out Period to approximately $1.17 million from total revenue of $24 million in the Earn-Out Period.   Any contingent payments earned can be paid in common stock, cash or a combination at ORBCOMM’s option.  Any ORBCOMM common shares issued will be valued on the 20-day average closing price ending March 31, 2012.

As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent earn-out was estimated to be nil.  The estimated fair value of the earn-out was determined using the probability of achieving the revenue milestones.  The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement.  Any change in the fair value of the contingent earn-out subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, will be recognized in the period the estimated fair value changes.

Sale of Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. Operations – RFID Technology segment
 
 
On August 18, 2010, the Company announced the sale of substantially all of the assets and operations of Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. (“TSI”), an entity representing the Company’s RFID Technology segment, to Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. (“Black Creek”), a private company located in Irondale, Alabama. (See Form 8-K filed on August 23, 2010 detailing the transaction.)  The asset purchase transaction had been substantially completed by fiscal 2010 year end with the recording of a $4.5 million goodwill impairment charge and the accrual of the segment’s operating losses through the August 2010 sales date of $142,200.  The transaction resulted in no gain or loss from TSI discontinued operations or the sale of assets in fiscal 2011 as the Company had impaired carrying values in anticipation of the sale.  The transaction, which closed August 17, 2010, consisted of approximately $2 million in cash, the proceeds of which went directly to secured creditors.  The Black Creek transaction excluded $1,372,800 of TSI recorded net liabilities and claims (“Liabilities”), which remained on the accounts of TSI.  Since all proceeds from the sale went to secured creditors and the corporation is inactive, TSI does not have the assets or ability to satisfy the remaining Liabilities and Alanco believes it is sheltered from the Liabilities by TSI’s corporate structure, the stock of which was sold to an independent third party in June 2011 for an immaterial amount.  Given these facts and circumstances and discussion with legal counsel, Alanco believes that it has no exposure for these Liabilities, therefore, at June 30, 2011, the Company excluded those Liabilities from its consolidated accounts and recognized $1,372,800 in income from the dissolution of the subsidiary.

Sale of Excel/Meridian Data, Inc. – Data Storage segment
 
The Company sold its Data Storage assets and operations, effective February 28, 2010, to an entity controlled by Shackleton Equity Partners (“Buyer”), an investment banking group, located in Los Angeles, California.  The Buyer acquired substantially all of the assets (excluding accounts receivable and certain inventories deemed obsolete by the Buyer) and assumed substantially all of the liabilities in the transaction.  The net book value of assets sold, net of liabilities assumed by Buyer, amounted to $110,200. The Buyer had agreed to collect the accounts receivable balances retained by the Company and hold on a consignment basis the non-purchased inventory.  Payment was due to the Company as the receivables were collected and as the inventory was used.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Buyer ceased operations and notified the Company that it was insolvent and unable to pay the amounts due under the agreement.  As a result, the Company recorded additional receivable and inventory reserves in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 of $99,800 to reflect Buyer’s inability to make payment, resulting in a ($99,800) loss for fiscal 2011 in the Data Storage segment.

A patent infringement claim was filed by Crossroads Systems, Inc. against Excel/Meridian in 2010.  As the Company was in the process of selling the assets of Excel/Meridian, management determined that no defense against the claim was necessary given the liquidation of the Company.  As such, Crossroads Systems, Inc. was awarded a default judgment in the approximate amount of $400,000.  Excel/Meridian has no assets to satisfy the obligation and pursuant to our discussions with legal counsel, it does not appear that Crossroads Systems, Inc. has any recourse due to Excel/Meridian’s corporate structure, the stock of which was sold to an independent third party in June 2011 for an immaterial amount.  Given these facts and circumstances, Alanco believes that it has no exposure to the judgment or other potential Excel liabilities and as such, no liabilities have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements at June 30, 2011. 
 
6.       MARKETABLE SECURITIES – RESTRICTED
 
 
Marketable Securities – Restricted at year end in the amount of $6,637,100 represent the June 30, 2011 market value ($3.13 per share) of 2,237,111 ORBCOMM Common Shares (NASDAQ: ORBC) received as partial consideration in the May 16, 2011 sale of StarTrak, less an estimated 116,628 shares to be returned to ORBCOMM for settlement of obligations under the escrow agreements more fully discussed in Note 5 – Sale of Operating Segments.   The cost basis of these shares at June 30, 2011 is $6,170,600.
 
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 279,638 shares (12 ½% of the shares received) monthly.  The Company has classified these securities as available-for-sale at June 30, 2011. The fair value measurement at June 30, 2011 is based upon quoted prices from similar assets in

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 reflects a 100% reserve for all years reported above.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had net operating loss and capital loss carry-forwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $48,000,000.  The loss carry-forwards, unless utilized, will expire from 2012 through 2031.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.
 
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.

10.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On October 6, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors modified certain warrants, scheduled to expire on November 16, 2009, to purchase 37,500 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (issued in a previous preferred stock offering), by reducing the exercise price from $10.00 to $4.00 per share.  Warrants to purchase 11,300 Class A Common Shares, or 30%, were held by officers and directors of the Company.  Prior to expiration, the Company extended the expiration date of the warrants to November 16, 2010.

The Company’s subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC, obtained certain software engineering services from ST Wireless, a company organized and operating under the laws of India.  Timothy P. Slifkin, a director of Alanco and past StarTrak president and StarTrak Vice President of Technology, informed the Company that he assisted with the formation of ST Wireless in India.  ST Wireless has performed these services since the acquisition of StarTrak by Alanco in June 2006.  For the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, StarTrak paid ST Wireless $235,600 and $161,650, respectively, for services performed.  Mr. Slifkin represented that he has no ownership interest in ST Wireless, nor does he have any option to acquire any interest in ST Wireless, however he does have a relationship with ST Wireless as described in the following paragraph.

During August 2010, Mr. Slifkin disclosed to Alanco that he owned 60% of the outstanding membership interests of August Matrix, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company formed in 2008 to represent ST Wireless in the United States.  Although StarTrak did not make any payment to August Matrix during fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, StarTrak paid August Matrix $53,800 and $205,400, respectively,   (Mr. Slifkin’s 60% portion being $32,300 and $123,200).  Mr. Slifkin further informed the Company that all of the monies paid by StarTrak to August Matrix were, in turn, paid by August Matrix to ST Wireless for the benefit of StarTrak, and that Mr. Slifkin has received no disbursements or compensation from either August Matrix or ST Wireless.   Amounts due either ST Wireless or August Matrix at June 30, 2010 or 2009 were not deemed material.   On May 16, 2011, the operations of StarTrak were sold to ORBCOMM in a transaction more fully discussed in Note 5 - Sale of Operating Segments.  Mr. Slifkin’s term as a director of Alanco had expired on May 10, 2011 and his employment relationship terminated with the StarTrak sale on May 16, 2011, therefore at June 30, 2011, Mr. Slifkin was neither a director nor an executive officer of the Company.

On September 16, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the immediate repricing of substantially all of the outstanding stock options (approximately 866,000 repriced option shares granted to 49 individuals) held by Officers, Directors and employees to $1.50, a 7.9% premium to the closing market price on September 15, 2010 of $1.39.  Current directors and officers (5 individuals) accounted for 377,025 shares, or 43.5%, of the repriced shares.  The noncash stock based compensation created by the stock option repricing, as determined under the Black Scholes method, was approximately $298,400, which was expensed during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

The Company has had a line of credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a private trust (“Lender”) controlled by Donald Anderson, who, prior to May 2011, was a greater than five percent stockholder of the Company, and prior to October 4, 2010,  was a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Credit Agreement had been in effect since 2002 and was a major source of working capital for the Company.

In August 2010, upon the completion of the sale of Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. operations, the Company repaid $1.8 million of the balance reducing the principal amount due under the Credit Agreement to $3.9 million.  Under terms of sale to ORBCOMM of the Company’s Wireless Asset Management operation in May 2011, previously approved by the Lender, ORBCOMM assumed the remaining $3.9 million balance under the Credit Agreement and the Credit Agreement terminated.

Notes payable – Other balance at June 30, 2011 of $28,000 represents an unsecured note issued to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for additional working capital.  The note is a 10 day convertible demand note, bearing interest at 8% per annum.  The note is convertible into Class A Common Stock at $2.24 per share.  Interest was expensed on the note for fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 for approximately $2,800 and $300, respectively with approximately $2,400 and $300 in accounts payable at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  At June 30, 2010, Notes payable – other balance of $128,000 included the $28,000 demand note issued to the Chief Financial Officer and a $100,000 note issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  During fiscal 2011, the CEO increased the note balance to $200,000.  The note, also issued for additional working capital, was unsecured, bears interest at a rate of 12% and was payable within thirty (30) days following written demand for such payment by the holder.  The note was repaid prior to June 30, 2011.  Interest was expensed on the note for fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 for approximately $15,600 and $3,900, respectively with zero and approximately $3,900 in accounts payable at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In February 2011, the Company received unsupported claims and threatened litigation from Tim Slifkin (“Slifkin”) and Tom Robinson (“Robinson”), a former director and executive officer, respectively, (both former employees of StarTrak) alleging that the Company had not recorded a total of approximately $630,000 of salaries, finder’s fees and commissions allegedly earned by Slifkin and Robinson and payable at December 31, 2010.  In addition, Slifkin and Robinson claimed that upon the completion of future anticipated transactions they will be owed an additional $335,000 each for a total additional liability of $770,000.

The Alanco 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, more fully discussed in the proxy statement, was approved at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 10, 2011.  The Plan allows for the granting of both Class A Common Stock and stock options.  One of the purposes of the plan was to give the Company the option to issue certain officers and employees Company stock as payment for salary obligations.  The obligations were incurred during fiscal year 2011 when certain salaries were reduced to preserve cash.  The Company issued to five officers and employees, during the period May through June 2011, a total of 298,364 shares of Class A Common Shares with a value of $296,750, as payment of these salary amounts.  In addition, one director was issued 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, valued at $9,800, in payment of incentive compensation related to the sale of StarTrak.

Leases – At June 30, 2011, the Company’s corporate office was located in an approximate 2,000 square foot facility in Scottsdale, Arizona.  The space had been part of approximately 9,800 square foot facility previously leased by Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. (“TSI”) under a multiyear lease that expired on July 31, 2011.  The TSI lease had been effectively terminated by the sale of TSI assets to Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. in August 2010.  Subsequent to that sale, the landlord entered into a new lease with Black Creek and at June 30, 2011, Alanco was using approximately 2,000 square feet under a month to month lease.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s former subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC occupied approximately 14,000 square feet of an office/manufacturing facility located in Morris Plains, New Jersey.  Rent expense related to operating leases totaled approximately $264,300 and $435,700 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

    Legal Proceedings - The Company’s subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC has been made a defendant concerning certain patent infringement claims as follows:

Arrivalstar S.A., et all. v. StarTrak Systems, LLC, et al.  Case No.: 4:10-CV-0033.  This action was a patent infringement action venued in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana.  StarTrak believes that the plaintiff’s patents are invalid due to prior art, based, in part, upon the substantial commercial activity concerning the patent claims long before the patents were applied for or issued.  However, StarTrak has resolved the action by agreeing to pay $70,000 for fourteen monthly payments of $5,000 each, thus avoiding substantially greater expenses that would be incurred in defending the action.  This liability has been assumed by ORBCOMM. 

Innovative Global Systems LLC v. StarTrak Systems, LLC, et al.  Case No.: 6:10-CV-00327.  This action is another patent infringement action venued in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.  Again, StarTrak believes that the plaintiff’s patents are invalid due to prior art, based, in part, upon the substantial commercial activity concerning the patent claims long before the patents were applied for or issued. Similarly, StarTrak has resolved the action by agreeing to pay $77,500, with a like amount to be paid by ORBCOMM, thus avoiding substantially greater expenses than would be incurred in defending the action.  See Note 5 – Sale of Operating Segments for additional discussion on escrow accounts.

StarTrak has been served with a Third-Party Complaint by Great American Lines, Inc. and related parties in a lawsuit against them by certain freight shippers in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey, being Case No. 3:10-ev-02023-JAP-TJB.  The main case against Great American Lines involves allegations concerning a stolen trailer containing freight owned by the plaintiffs resulting in a cargo loss estimated by Great American Lines at $8.8 million.  Great American Lines has brought its Third-Party Complaint against StarTrak alleging that StarTrak breached its contract with Great American Lines to allow Great American Lines to track its trailer and for indemnity.  StarTrak has tendered its defense in the lawsuit to its insurance company, which has accepted defense of the action under a reservation of rights declaration. The Company’s management believes that the suit is without merit and the Company will vigorously defend itself in the matter.

The Company may also, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business.  As of June 30, 2011, there was no other such litigation pending deemed material by the Company.

A portion of the consideration received from ORBCOMM in the sale of StarTrak Systems, LLC was 500,000 shares of Alanco Series E Preferred Stock previously acquired by ORBCOMM through a private transaction with Alanco, valued at stated value of $4.50 per share or $2,250,000, 1,212,748 shares of Alanco Class A Common Stock acquired by ORBCOMM via dividend payments in Class A Common Stock received on their Series E Preferred shares and through private purchases from Alanco shareholders, valued at $1,249,100, and 183,550 new shares of ORBCOMM Series A Convertible Preferred Stock valued $10.00 per share stated value of $1,835,500.  Upon receipt of the ORBCOMM preferred stock, Alanco immediately offered the ORBCOMM Series A Preferred Shares to Alanco’s remaining Preferred shareholders on an equal stated value exchange basis.  The offer was accepted by all remaining Series D and Series E Preferred shareholders resulting in the retirement of all of Alanco’s outstanding Series D and Series E Preferred stock.  Since legal and broker costs associated with the prior period sale of Alanco preferred stock had reduced the recorded value, an adjustment of $105,700 was made to common stock to adjust the Series D and Series E Preferred Stock recorded values.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

On October 13, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the re-pricing of certain warrants, held by non-officers and directors, to purchase 256,200 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.  The warrants, with exercise prices ranging from $4.00 to $14.40 per share, were re-priced to $1.19 per share, reflecting an approximate 15% discount from the current market, and required the warrants to be exercised through October 21, 2010.  If the warrants were not exercised by the October 21, 2010 date, the exercise price reverted back to the pre-adjusted price.  The warrant re-pricing discount represented the Company’s estimate of market value, net of costs, of a private placement of an equal amount and was completed to raise required working capital for the Company.

Stock Options - As of June 30, 2011, the Company had a total of 638,400 stock options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $1.62.  Of these options, 634,800 are exercisable at 2011 fiscal year end.  The tables below, as well as the narrative following, provide further information regarding the Company’s stock options.

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 the incentive stock options issued currently 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.  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 2011 and 2010.

All remaining business segment operations had been sold during fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and accordingly, the segments' operating results for the current fiscal year were reported as Discontinued Operations.  Prior period activity has been reclassified to report operating segments as discontinued operations and certain balances have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year's presentation.
 
Quarterly earnings per share may not total to the fiscal year earnings per share due to the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the end of each period reported.  The Company sold the remaining operations during fiscal 2011 and therefore all revenues were reported as discontinued operations.

Alanco announced on June 29, 2011 that it executed a definitive agreement to merge with YuuZoo Corporation (www.yuuzoo.com), a global provider of mobile targeted social networks, targeted advertising and mobile payment systems.  The agreement was terminated on September 20, 2011 due to market conditions and our inability to complete due diligence.

The Company announced on May 20, 2011 that it has received notice from the Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “Staff”) that following Alanco’s May 16, 2011 sale of its subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), to ORBCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBC), the Staff has concluded that the Company is no longer eligible for continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market.  The Company requested a hearing that was scheduled by Nasdaq for June 30, 2011, before the Panel.  In accordance with Nasdaq rules, Alanco’s common stock remained listed on NASDAQ pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel following the hearing.  On July 25, 2011, the Company announced that it has received a ruling from The NASDAQ Stock Market that the Company’s appeal to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) had been denied and that trading in the Company’s stock would be suspended on The NASDAQ Stock Market at the open of business on Tuesday, July 26, 2011.  The Company’s common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB), and on the OTCQB™ Market, with quotes available on www.OTCBB.com and www.OTCMarkets.com, respectively.

Subsequent to June 30, 2011, stock options for a total of approximately 100,800 shares were exercised, all at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, for $151,200.  None of the stock options exercised were held by officers or directors of the Company.

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, 2011, 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) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 
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, 2011, 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, 2011 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
 
Due to the fiscal year 2011 sale of the Company’s remaining business segments, the only operating activity at June 30, 2011 was at the corporate offices in Scottsdale, AZ.  Previous issues with internal controls weaknesses arose from these operating divisions, the disposal of which eliminated those weaknesses.

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 auditor 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 auditors 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 three 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.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and generally indicates voting or investment power with respect to securities.  In accordance with SEC rules, shares that may be acquired upon conversion or exercise of stock options, warrants or convertible securities which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days are deemed beneficially owned.  Except as indicated by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, the persons or entities named in the table above have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned.

(4)
The percentages for Class A Common Stock shown are calculated based upon 4,974,860 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on October 4, 2011.  The percentages for Total Voting Rights Percent of Class are calculated based upon 5,054,572 voting rights as of October 4, 2011.

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, 2011 and 2010 were approximately $98,900 and $153,700, 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, 2011 and 2010, were approximately $21,100 and $15,500, respectively.
 
All Other Fees
 
Other than the services described above under “Audit Fees”, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP provided services related to filing prospectus supplements to a Form S-3, the filing of a Form S-8 and related amendments and the filing of a Schedule 14A and related amendments with the Securities and Exchange Commission and billed related fees of approximately $22,400.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP also provided services related to filing a Form S-3 and related amendments with the Securities and Exchange Commission and billed related fees of approximately $1,600.
 
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The 2011 and 2010 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 accountants 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.
