PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

Alanco Technologies, Inc. (Stock Symbol: ALAN) was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the State of Arizona.  Unless otherwise noted, the "Company" or “Alanco” refers to Alanco Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  As discussed below and in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 to this Form 10-K, at the beginning of the current fiscal year, Alanco was effectively a holding company without operating subsidiaries.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc., which was in the process of constructing a water disposal facility near Grand Junction, CO to receive produced water generated as a byproduct from oil and gas well operations.  The new facility started to receive produced water in August 2012.

In previous SEC filings, Alanco reported three business segments: Data Storage, Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology.  During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company announced plans to divest all three business segments.  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.

RECENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

Alanco Energy Services - In April 2012, Alanco Energy Services, Inc. ("AES"), a subsidiary of the Company, executed an agreement with TC Operating, LLC ("TCO") of Grand Junction, CO to transfer a land lease for 20 acres near Grand Junction, CO and all related assets to AES with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, and termed "produced water".  The agreements included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to construct the facilities. Subsequent to the TCO agreement, AES renegotiated an amended lease that became effective on May 1, 2012.  The terms of the amended lease requires minimum monthly lease payments plus additional rent based upon quantities of produced water received at the site. In addition, under the TCO agreement, TCO can earn additional payments based upon a percentage of the net cumulative EBITDA (net of all related AES capital investments) over a period of approximately 10 years (contingent purchase price obligation), the initial term of the lease. Under certain circumstances, the acreage covered by the lease may be expanded by up to 50 acres to allow for additional expansion at the site.  (See notes 5 and 11 in the notes to consolidated financial statements under Item 8 to this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the transfer of the land lease and the contingent purchase price obligation incurred.)

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
AES has also entered into a definitive agreement ("Agreement") with Deer Creek Disposal, LLC ("DCD") to acquire a 160 acre site near Grand Junction, CO, for additional expansion to the proposed water disposal facility. As consideration for the land purchase, AES paid $500,000 at the April 13, 2012 closing and assumed a non-interest bearing, secured, $200,000 note due November 15, 2012. AES has also agreed to potential additional quarterly earn-out payments to DCD up to a maximum total of $800,000, generally determined as 10% of quarterly revenues in excess of operating expenses (contingent land payment).

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

Symbius Financial, Inc. – Effective April 25, 2012, Alanco purchased 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”) issued by Symbius Financial, Inc. (“Symbius”) the developer and provider of PayEarly loan products.  PayEarly is a payroll loan product offered primarily through payroll provider partners using PayEarly’s unique software, seamlessly incorporated within the payroll provider’s payroll software platforms to process the loans directly to the employee.
 
The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares acquired were convertible into 300,000 shares of Symbius Common Stock, or an approximate 24% ownership.  Under terms of the transaction, Alanco paid $150,000 for the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares at closing and agreed to provide a secured credit line ($100,000 available at Closing) in the form of a term loan that, upon Symbius achieving certain financial objectives, could reach a maximum of $250,000.  The term loan was secured by all of the assets of Symbius, bears interest at 7 ½% and was repayable over a period of up to 17 months with payments commencing January 1, 2013.  In addition, Alanco obtained options, exercisable for 12 months from date of close, from major Symbius founders to acquire up to 250,000 Symbius common shares currently outstanding at $1.50 per share and Symbius warrants, effective for a period of 24 months from date of close, whereby Alanco can acquire up to 250,000 newly issued shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share.  Finally, the parties agreed that Alanco would have the right to acquire, from shareholders, through December 31, 2012 any remaining outstanding Symbius common shares in consideration of Alanco Common Stock at a ratio of 1.5 shares of Alanco for each share of Symbius and at a ratio of 2 shares of Alanco for each share of Symbius from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
 
As a result of a change in Symbius’s business model, effective July 30, 2012, with the approval of Alanco, Symbius repaid the $100,000 balance due under the term loan, plus interest of $2,847, and repurchased, for $250,000, the 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and all Symbius warrants held by the Company. The transaction resulted in a gain, net of related legal expense, of approximately $85,000 and terminated the Company's investment in Symbius.
 
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 would 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 have completed some asset acquisitions and investments and continue our investigation of various possible additional business combinations.  However, there is no assurance that we will be able to arrange or consummate additional successful business combinations.

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 businesses in which we invested and 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.

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 stock 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.  As a result of terrorist acts and resulting military actions, there has been a disruption in general economic activity.  There may be other consequences resulting from past acts of terrorism, and any others which may occur in the future, including civil disturbance, war, riot, epidemics, public demonstration, explosion, freight embargoes, governmental action, governmental delay, restraint or inaction, quarantine restrictions, unavailability of capital, equipment, 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.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
The Company may not have sufficient capital to meet the liquidity needs to consummate additional business combinations with acceptable candidates 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 2013 operating plan, cash flow and additional funding sources will be adequate to meet our anticipated future requirements for working capital expenditures and scheduled lease payments for the next twelve months.  We will need to materially reduce expenses, or raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, or both, if the revenue and cash flow elements of our 2012 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 substantial portion of our assets are invested in ORBCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBC) Common Stock.  Because the consideration we received from ORBCOMM for substantially all of the assets of our subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC, consists of ORBCOMM Common Stock, such stock remains one of our primary assets.  Our agreement with ORBCOMM prevents us from liquidating the ORBCOMM stock at a rate in excess of 279,600 shares per month.  Also, we anticipate selling such stock over a period of time to maximize our return.  As long as the ORBCOMM Common Stock constitutes a substantial portion of our assets, fluctuations in the market price of such stock may significantly affect our value.

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

The loss of key corporate executives 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.

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

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

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

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

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
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.  
the value of our restricted marketable securities;

5.  
changes in our financial estimates by securities analysts;

6.  
broad market fluctuations;

7.  
recovery from natural disasters; and

8.  
economic conditions in the United States or abroad.

Additional Risks if Business Combinations are 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.
 
At June 30, 2012, Alanco was in the process of constructing a water disposal facility, expected to be operational by the quarter ending September 30, 2012, for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. Certain factors relative to that operation, some of which may be beyond our control, may negatively effect the Company’s operating results.  These factors include, but are not limited to:
 
1.  
Inability to obtain final permits required to operate the water disposal facility;
 
2.  
Inability to obtain qualified personnel to operate the facility;
 
3.  
Failure to attract and retain the required level of customers;
 
4.  
Revenues and operating results failing to meet expectations of securities analysts or investors in any quarter;
 
5.  
Downward revisions in operating performance estimates or changes in general market conditions;
 
6.  
Technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies that provide for alternative treatment of produced water;
 
7.  
Changes in governmental regulations governing the operation resulting in increased cost or reduced capacity.

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 expired on July 31, 2012.  Alanco is currently operating under a month to month lease.

In April 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc. ("AES"), a new wholly owned subsidiary, and through AES executed an agreement with TC Operating, LLC ("TCO") of Grand Junction, CO to transfer a land lease for 20 acres near Grand Junction, CO (known as the Deer Creek site) with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, and termed "produced water".  The agreement included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to construct the facilities.

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

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

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings - The Company’s subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC was made a defendant concerning certain patent infringement claims.  Innovative Global Systems LLC v. StarTrak Systems, LLC, et al.  Case No.: 6:10-CV-00327, is a patent infringement action venued in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.  During the negotiation process to resolve the claims, the StarTrak operations were sold to ORBCOMM, Inc. (“ORBCOMM”) in a transaction structured as an asset purchase and documented in an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) whereby ORBCOMM acquired substantially all of StarTrak’s assets and liabilities.   StarTrak and ORBCOMM have resolved the action by StarTrak agreeing to pay approximately $100,000, with a like amount to be paid by ORBCOMM, thus avoiding substantially greater expenses than would likely be incurred in defending the action.  Payment of StarTrak’s portion of the costs to resolve the claims has been allowed for in the Patent Litigation Escrow established at the time of the ORBCOMM transaction.

StarTrak was 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 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 tendered its defense in the lawsuit to its insurance company, and the action was dismissed against StarTrak.

The Company may also, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business.  As of June 30, 2012, there was no other such litigation pending deemed material by the Company.

The Company issued a total of 180,400 shares of its Class A Common Stock during fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.   Of those shares, 100,800 shares were issued in connection with the exercise of employee stock options, 39,600 were issued for services and 40,000 were issued in the acquisition of assets related to the Company’s water disposal facility.

Alanco has paid no Common Stock cash dividends and has no current plans to do so.  Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock received “paid in kind” dividends during fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 of 3,100 shares valued at $30,500.   During the current fiscal year the Company also repurchased 44,200 common shares for $30,300, or an average of $.69 per share.  The repurchased shares were retired prior to year end.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable.

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 in the Company’s fiscal year 2011 Form 10-K, 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.  At June 30, 2012 the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc., which had begun to execute a new business development plan to acquire the assets necessary to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado.

In previous SEC filings, Alanco reported three business segments: Data Storage, Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology.  During the 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 into 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, the RFID Technology segment was sold in August 2010, and the Wireless Asset Management segment was sold in May 2011.  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.

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 notes receivable and the recorded values of accruals and contingencies including the estimated fair values of the Company’s asset retirement obligation and the contingent land and purchase price liabilities.  We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  The result of these estimates and judgments form the basis for making conclusions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

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 classification and valuation of marketable securities, realization of notes receivable, stock-based compensation, the recorded values of accruals and fair values of assets and liabilities including the Company’s contingent liabilities.

Results of Operations

Net Sales
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, 2012 and 2011 because, as of June 30, 2011 all business segments had been sold.  At June 30, 2012, the new water treatment facility was under construction and not generating revenues, however, it became operational in August 2012.  Consistent with prior year reporting, fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 operating results for the sold business segments are reported as Discontinued Operations.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2012, consisting of corporate expenses, amortization of stock-based compensation and depreciation expense, were $1,048,800, a $332,100, or 24%, decrease when compared to the $1,380,900 reported for the comparable period of the prior year.  Corporate expenses reported for the year ended June 30, 2012 of $1,021,200 represents a decrease of $158,600, or 13.4%, when compared to corporate expenses of $1,179,800 reported for the year ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease is primarily due to reduction of costs for business insurance, audit fees, consulting and investor relations.  Amortization of stock-based compensation for the year ended June 30, 2012 was $24,900, a decrease of $175,200 or 87.6% when compared to $200,100 in the comparable twelve month period of the prior year.  The decrease was primarily due to a $187,000 expense in the prior period resulting from the Company’s election to re-price certain employee stock options during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and to expense the entire increase in Black Scholes value of the re-priced options in that period.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended June 30, 2012 was $2,700 compared to $1,000 reported in the comparable period of the prior year.

Operating Loss
Since no revenue was reported for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the operating losses equal the operating expenses discussed above.

Other Income and Expense
Net interest income for the year ended June 30, 2012 was $14,200, an improvement of $464,300 when compared to net interest expense of $450,100 for the year ended June 30, 2011.  The improvement resulted from the May 2011 sale of the Wireless Asset Management segment that allowed the Company to repay debt and terminate its credit agreements.  During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a net gain on sale of marketable securities of $386,700, resulting from the sale of approximately 993,661 shares of its ORBCOMM Common Stock at an average selling price of $3.30 per share.  The Company did not sell any marketable securities during the previous fiscal year.  Finally, the Company had $12,700 of other income during the year ended June 30, 2012 as compared to other expense of $8,500 reported in the comparable period of the prior year.  Other expense for the prior year was the result of a write down in the value of an investment; there was no such write down in the current period.  Other income was primarily the result of the distribution of marketable securities from escrow.

Loss from Continuing Operations
Loss from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2012 was ($635,200), an improvement of $1,204,300, or 65.5%, when compared to the loss from continuing operations of ($1,839,500) for the previous year ended June 30, 2011.  The improvement was primarily due to the current year gain on the sale of marketable securities of $386,700, a decrease in operating expense of $332,100 and a decrease of net interest expense of $464,300.

Discontinued Operations
The Company reported no activity from discontinued operations for the current year ended June 30, 2012.  Total Consolidated Income from Discontinued Operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,781,700 resulting from a gain on sale of assets held for sale of $1,294,000 and income recognition of $1,372,800 on the dissolution of a subsidiary, offset by a loss from discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2011 of ($885,100).

Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2012 was ($635,200), an increase of ($577,400) compared to the net loss reported for the year ended June 30, 2011 of ($57,800).  The increase in net loss reflects the results reported for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 which include a onetime gain on sale of assets held for sale of $1,294,000 and income recognized on dissolution of subsidiary of $1,372,800, offset by a higher loss from continuing operations of ($1,204,300) and a loss from discontinued operations of ($885,100).

Dividends and Redemption
Preferred stock dividend expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 was $30,500, a decrease of $238,200, or 88.6%, compared to the $268,700 in preferred stock dividend expense recorded in the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease resulted from the retirement of all Series D and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock in June 2011 and the repurchase of all Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in December 2011.  See Note 16 – Shareholders’ Equity in the attached consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 for additional discussions relative to the retirement of the Series D and E Convertible Preferred Stock.  The gain on redemption of Series B Preferred Stock of $443,200 was recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 when the company repurchased all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock for an $800,000 non-interest bearing note payable in monthly payments of $200,000 commencing February 1, 2012 and continuing March 1, 2012, April 1, 2012 and May 1, 2012.  The difference between the $800,000 note amount and the $1,243,800 Series B Preferred Stock recorded amount, net of related legal expense of $600, was recorded directly to equity as a gain on redemption of Series B Preferred Stock.  Since the Preferred Stock was repurchased prior to the quarterly dividend declaration date, the dividends-in-kind for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were not accrued.  At June 30, 2012 there were no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to ($222,500), or ($.04) per share, an improvement of $104,000 when compared to a loss of ($326,500), or ($.06) per share, reported in the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.  The improvement is reflective of the reduction in operating costs for current year compared to the same period of the prior year.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive Income (Loss) represents the unrealized change in market value of the Company’s Marketable Securities held at June 30, 2012 compared to the cost basis.  During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported an Unrealized Gain on Marketable Securities, net of tax, of $142,500 resulting from a 12% increase in the market value of the shares held at the end of the year comparing the cost basis of $2.91 per share, determined as market value on the May 16, 2011 acquisition date, and the market value at June 30, 2012.  At June 30, 2012 the Company valued 1,095,884 shares (net of escrow shares) of ORBCOMM, Inc. Common Stock at $3.26 per share for a total value of $3,572,600.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $3,473,900 at June 30, 2012, representing a current ratio of 4.8 to 1.  At June 30, 2011 the Company's current assets exceeded current liabilities by $7,028,400 and reflected a current ratio of 14.2 to 1.  The reduction in current ratio at June 30, 2012 versus June 30, 2011 resulted primarily from the sale of marketable securities, proceeds of which were invested in Land, Property and Equipment, and used for the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was ($774,300) compared with net cash used in operating activities for the prior fiscal year of ($1,386,500).  The decrease of $612,200 resulted primarily from a reduction in loss from continuing operations, excluding gain on sale of marketable securities in fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, of approximately $386,700.

Consolidated receivables at June 30, 2012 were $16,800 compared to receivables at June 30, 2011 of $101,900.  The receivables at June 30, 2011 relate primarily to the sale of the Company’s wireless Asset Management business segment in May 2011.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the current year was $959,100, a decrease of $2,067,500 compared to net cash provided by investing activities in the prior year of $3,026,600.   The decrease was due primarily to an increase of approximately $1.75 million in the purchase of land, property and equipment.  The current fiscal year also included approximately $3.3 million in proceeds from sale of marketable securities compared to approximately $4 million in cash generated in fiscal year 2011 by the sale of the Company’s Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology segments.

Net cash used in financing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 amounted to ($683,700), a decrease of $573,700 compared to net cash used in financing activities of ($1,257,400) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in net repayment of borrowings, net of additional borrowing, of approximately $1.6 million, offset by a decrease during the year ended June 30, 2012 compared to 2011 of approximately $1.1 million in cash generated from the sale of common stock and the exercise of warrants and stock options.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
At June 30, 2012, the Company reported Marketable Securities – Restricted that consisted of 1,095,884 shares of ORBCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBC) Common Stock, valued at approximately $3.6 million.  The shares were received as part of the Company’s sale of its StarTrak Systems, LLC subsidiary in May 2011.  Our agreement with ORBCOMM prevents us from liquidating the ORBCOMM stock at a rate in excess of 279,600 shares per month.  Also, we anticipate selling such stock over a period of time to maximize our return.  As long as the ORBCOMM Common Stock constitutes a substantial portion of our assets, fluctuations in the market price of such stock may significantly affect our value.  See Note 4 – Marketable Securities – Restricted to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on the ORBCOMM investment.

The Company has made a significant investment through June 30, 2012 in Alanco Energy Services, Inc. investing approximately $1.4 million in land and $2.1 million (classified as construction in progress) in evaporation ponds and equipment for the Deer Creek water disposal site.  We anticipate investing an additional $900,000 in fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, with the majority committed for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  The Company plans on continuing its sale of ORBCOMM stock discussed above to fund the additional investments.

Although management cannot assure that any future acquisitions will be completed, or that it will achieve projections, or that additional debt and/or equity will not be required, we believe our cash balances at year end, 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 2013 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, 2012 and 2011, 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, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.         NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Alanco Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) sold substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of its operations (Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. and StarTrak Systems, LLC) during fiscal year 2011 and at fiscal year end June 30, 2011 the Company was 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 began an operational restructuring in April 2012 with the formation of a new subsidiary, Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”), for the purpose of obtaining property to establish a facility for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by the oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado.   See Note 5 - Alanco Energy Services for discussion of AES transactions.

Principles of Consolidation – These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  The consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 include, where appropriate, the accounts of Alanco Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alanco Energy Services, Inc., 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 fiscal year 2011 are presented as discontinued operations.  All subsidiaries are Arizona corporations, except for Alanco Energy Services, Inc., which is a Colorado corporation; 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 prior year 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.

Other Receivables – At June 30, 2012, the other receivables balance of $16,800 consists of $7,800 of accrued interest related to notes receivable and $9,000 of miscellaneous billings for accounting services performed for a related party, American Citizenship Center, LLC.  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, 2012 and 2011, the other receivables balance had been reviewed and no receivable reserves were deemed necessary.

Notes Receivable – At June 30, 2012, the notes receivable balance of $400,000 ($250,000 current and $150,000 long-term) consisted of a $300,000 note from American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”) and a $100,000 note from Symbius Financial, Inc. (“Symbius”).  The Company historically provided for potentially uncollectible notes receivable by use of the allowance method.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based upon a review of the individual notes outstanding and the Company’s prior history of uncollectible accounts.  Interest income from notes receivable is recognized when earned.  At June 30, 2012, the notes receivable balance has been reviewed and no notes receivable reserves were deemed necessary.
 
Marketable Securities - Restricted – The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable equity securities at the time of acquisition and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. Marketable securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold securities to maturity. Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. Marketable securities not classified as held to maturity or as trading, are classified as available for sale, and are carried at fair value, with the unrecognized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income (loss) and reported in shareholders’ equity. The Company measures and discloses its investments in marketable securities, which are classified as available for sale, at fair value on a recurring basis, in accordance with the ASC. The cost of the securities sold is based on specific identification of the security.

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

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

The following are the classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2012, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Fair Value of Marketable Securities - Restricted – The estimated fair values of Marketable Securities - Restricted are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information.  The Marketable Securities – Restricted is comprised entirely of ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM”) common shares (NASDAQ: ORBC) registered under a currently effective ORBCOMM Form S-3 registration statement.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is limited to selling up to 279,600 shares (12 ½% of the total shares) per month.  The sale restriction above is why the fair value measurement of June 30, 2012 of ORBCOMM’s Stock is based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets that are directly observable and thus represent a Level 2 fair value measurement.  However, management does not believe the restriction will interfere with any plans to market their stock holdings.  As such, the trading price is used as fair value with no further adjustment.  The remaining shares will be revalued at the end of each reporting period with per share market value fluctuations reported as Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Fair Value of Asset Retirement ObligationThe Deer Creek asset retirement obligation is the estimated cost to close the Deer Creek facility under terms of the lease, meeting environmental and State of Colorado regulatory requirements.  The estimate is determined at discrete points in time based upon significant unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that is significant to the fair value of the liability, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.  Management’s estimate of the asset retirement obligation is based upon a cost estimate developed by a consultant knowledgeable of government closure requirements and costs incurred at similar water disposal facility operations.  The process used was to identify each activity in the closure process, obtaining vendor estimated costs, in current dollars, to perform the closure activity and accumulating the various vendor estimates to determine the asset retirement obligation.  Although the water disposal facility is anticipated to remain operational for a period of up to 30 years, a present value discount has not been taken as the estimated closure costs, excluding regulatory changes and inflation adjustments, are anticipated to remain fairly consistent over the operational life of the facility.  The lack of an active market to validate the estimated asset retirement obligation results in the fair value of asset retirement obligation to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.  ASC Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement requires the Company to review the asset retirement obligation on a recurring basis and record changes in the period incurred.

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

Land, Property and Equipment – Land, Property and Equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, of $3,524,600 and $6,700 at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method, generally over a 3 to 20-year period.  Currently all furniture and office equipment are being depreciated over 3 years; production equipment over 7-10 years; evaporation pond liners over 15 years and pond construction over 20 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, 2012 and 2011, was $2,700 and $1,000, 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 than likely than not that a future tax asset 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 notes receivable and the recorded values of accruals and contingencies including the estimated fair values of the Company’s asset retirement obligation and the contingent land and purchase price liabilities.  Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process and the significance of these items, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates in connection with these items could be further materially revised within the next year.

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

Impairment of Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets - The Company’s policy is to perform an assessment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable.  If the net carrying value of the asset exceeds estimated future net cash flows, then impairment is recognized to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value.  No impairment charge was recorded in fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 or 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 2012 and 2011, 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 674,100 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding at June 30, 2012 with exercise prices ranging between $.75 and $2.00. The weighted average exercise price for all outstanding options was $0.80.  Stock warrants representing 150,400 Class A Common Shares were outstanding at June 30, 2012 with exercise prices ranging between $2.64 and $14.00.  The weighted average exercise price was $6.24.  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 representing 661,800 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.  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 Stock.  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 the 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 the 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 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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, 2012 and 2011, deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits amounted to Nil and $153,100, respectively.  The Company currently has a substantial amount of its assets invested in ORBCOMM Common Stock, received as partial consideration in the sale of the Wireless Asset Management segment.  Although the Company performed due diligence during the negotiations with ORBCOMM and believes that ORBCOMM Common Stock is a good investment, no assurance can be made that the stock will maintain its value.  See Note 4 - Marketable Securities - Restricted for additional discussion of the investment.  At June 30, 2012, the notes receivable balance of $400,000 consisted of a $300,000 note from American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”) and a $100,000 note from Symbius Financial, Inc.  Both notes are secured, however there is no assurance the amounts will be repaid when due or if ever.  The Symbius note for $100,000 was repaid, including accrued interest, subsequent to June 30, 2012.  See Note 3 – Notes Receivable and Note 9 – Investments for additional discussions of the notes receivable at June 30, 2012.

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 6 – 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, 2012, 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 beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  The Company has adopted the guidance, which had no material impact 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.  The Company has adopted the guidance, which had no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued revised guidance on the reporting of comprehensive income.  The Company previously adopted earlier guidance on the reporting of comprehensive income for which early adoption was permitted; therefore, the revised guidance had no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Note receivable – Symbius represents an amount due from Symbius Financial, Inc. (“Symbius”) under an agreement whereby the Company agreed to provide a secured line of credit up to $250,000, secured by all Symbius assets and accruing interest at 7.5%.  The agreement required monthly payments starting in January 2013 of approximately $15,000 with the final payment for any unpaid amount due July 1, 2014.  Subsequent to June 30, 2012, Symbius repaid the outstanding balance under the line of credit agreement.  See Note 9 – Investments for additional discussion on the Company’s investment in Symbius.

4.      MARKETABLE SECURITIES – RESTRICTED

At June 30, 2012, the Company had Marketable Securities - Restricted in the amount of $3,572,600 representing the June 30, 2012 market value ($3.26 per share) of 1,095,884 ORBCOMM Common Shares (NASDAQ: ORBC) received as partial consideration in the May 2011 sale of StarTrak, net of an estimated 83,306 shares to be returned to ORBCOMM for settlement of obligations under the escrow agreements more fully discussed in Note 7 – Sale of Operating Segments.  The net cost basis of the estimated 83,306 shares at June 30, 2012 and 2011 is $2.91 per share or $242,400.

The ORBCOMM common shares are registered under a currently effective ORBCOMM Form S-3 registration statement, however under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is limited to selling up to 279,600 shares (12 ½% of the shares received) monthly.  The Company has classified these securities as available-for-sale at June 30, 2012 and 2011. The fair value measurement at June 30, 2012 and 2011 is based upon quoted prices from similar assets in active markets and thus represents a Level 2 fair value measurement.  The restriction discussed above is why ORBCOMM’s Common Stock trading price is deemed a Level 2 input.  However, management does not believe the restriction will interfere with any plans to market their stock holdings.  As such, the trading price is used as fair value with no further adjustment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The shares held are revalued at the end of each reporting period with per share market value fluctuations reported as Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the period.  Based upon the change in market value of $3.13 per share at June 30, 2011 to $3.26 per share at June 30, 2012, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on marketable securities held at June 30, 2012 (presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss)), of $142,500, offset by an adjustment for unrealized gains previously recorded related to securities sold during the period.  The actual gain or loss of securities sold is reported in the Statement of Operations.  At June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Accumulated Unrealized Gain on Marketable Securities, net of tax, of $383,600 and $466,500 respectively, was presented in the Shareholders’ Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s Marketable Securities at both June 30, 2012 and 2011 consist of investments in common stock of ORBCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ: “ORBC”) acquired in May 2011 as partial consideration in the sale of the Company’s Wireless Asset Management business segment.  The Company reviews its marketable equity holdings in ORBCOMM on a regular basis to determine if its investment has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value.  The Company considers ORBCOMM’s cash position, earnings and revenue outlook, stock price performance, liquidity and management ownership, among other factors, in its review.  If it is determined that an other-than- temporary decline exists, the Company writes down the investment to its market value and records the related impairment as an investment loss in its Statement of Operations.  As of close of market on September 24, 2012, the per share value of the ORBCOMM Common Stock was $3.74, $.83 per share above the cost basis of $2.91 per share and above the June 30, 2012 valuation of $3.26 per share as presented on the attached balance sheet.  No impairment related to an other-than-temporary decline was recorded during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold a total of 993,661 shares of ORBCOMM, Inc. Common Stock for total proceeds of $3,278,000, and an average selling price of approximately $3.30 per share, resulting in gains of $394,700 offset by losses of ($8,000) for a net gain of $386,700.  In addition, the Company transferred 34,270 shares, valued at $100,000, or the Company’s cost basis of $2.91 per share, in payment of obligations related to the sale to past employees and officers of StarTrak Systems, LLC.  Finally, 29,990 shares were distributed to ORBCOMM from the litigation escrow account with the balance distributed to the Company resulting in miscellaneous income of $9,700 (3,332 shares).  Considering shares transferred and sold during the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company disposed of 1,057,921 shares.

The following table summarizes the activities related to investment in Marketable Securities for the year ended June 30, 2012.

5.     ALANCO ENERGY SERVICES

In compliance with a new business development plan, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”), a wholly owned subsidiary, and in April 2012 executed an agreement with TC Operating, LLC ("TCO") of Grand Junction, CO transferring a land lease for 20 acres near Grand Junction, CO and all related assets to AES with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, and termed "produced water".  The agreement included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to construct the facilities.  The lease terms payable to the landlord include a minimum monthly lease payment of $100 per acre ($2,000 per month) during the initial ten year term of the lease, plus $.25 per barrel of produced water received at the site.  The design and construction of the Deer Creek water disposal facility required certain changes to the Goodwin Solid Waste facility (“Goodwin”) resulting in extra costs to the landlord, who also owned Goodwin.  As incentive for the landlord to approve the facility design, AES agreed to limit landlord construction improvement costs related to the leased land to $200,000.  Included in the $200,000 limited amount was $100,000 of  landlord improvement costs to be paid by AES and reimbursed through a 50% credit against the $.25 per barrel royalty payments due landlord discussed above.  AES recorded the $100,000 payment as prepaid royalties.

TCO can also earn deferred purchase price payments based upon a percentage of the net cumulative EBITDA (net of all related AES capital investments) over a period of approximately 10 years (contingent deferred payment), approximately the initial term of the lease. Under certain circumstances, the acreage covered by the lease may be expanded by up to 50 acres to allow for additional expansion at the site.  See Note 11 - Fair Value - Contingent Payments for additional discussion of the contingent deferred payment.

AES has also entered into a definitive agreement ("Agreement") with Deer Creek Disposal, LLC ("DCD") whereby AES acquired a 160 acre site near Grand Junction, CO, for additional expansion to the proposed water disposal facility. As consideration for the land purchase, AES paid $500,000 at the April 13, 2012 closing and assumed a non-interest bearing, secured, $200,000 note due November 15, 2012. AES has also agreed to potential additional quarterly earn-out payments to DCD up to a maximum total of $800,000, generally determined as 10% of quarterly revenues in excess of operating expenses (contingent land payment).  See Note 11 – Fair Value - Contingent Payments for additional discussion of the contingent land payment.

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

6.        DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In previous SEC filings, Alanco reported three business segments: Data Storage, Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology.  During the 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 segments’ operating results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were reported as Discontinued Operations.

The following table is a summary of the results of discontinued operations for fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and other financial information by major segment:

7.        SALE OF OPERATING SEGMENTS

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

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

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

1.  
Cash consideration in an amount equal to two million dollars ($2,000,000) less any amount due under the secured loan referred to in 3 below;
2.  
ORBCOMM’s acquisition and discharge of the Anderson Trust secured debt in the principal amount of $3,900,000;
3.  
Cancellation  and termination of all outstanding obligations of Alanco and StarTrak to ORBCOMM under the Secured Promissory Note, 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, the shares returned to ORBCOMM in payment of the litigation costs, would be valued at $3.001 per share.  Final negotiation of the litigation escrow shares was completed in May 2012 and the agreement resulted in 29,990 of the escrow shares being distributed to ORBCOMM with the 219,927 balance distributed to Alanco.

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

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, 2012 the potential return of ORBCOMM shares under this agreement, Alanco has reduced the balance of the Marketable Securities – Restricted by the value of 83,306 shares.  The 83,306 shares reduction is based on management’s best estimate of the warranty costs at June 30, 2012 and 2011.  The ultimate number of shares of ORBCOMM Common Stock to be returned to ORBCOMM in the final settlement is currently undeterminable and may be in excess of the 83,306 shares currently estimated by the Company.  Resolution of the final distribution under this escrow agreement has been delayed and is now expected to be completed by November 30, 2012, after measurement period warranty costs have been analyzed and the actual obligations under escrow agreement determined.

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

ORBCOMM delivered to Alanco on August 12, 2011, a written statement of the Current Assets, Current Liabilities and Net Working Capital Amount pursuant to the terms of the Agreement reflecting a working capital adjustment in favor of ORBCOMM of approximately $700,000.  Under terms of the Agreement, Alanco submitted a “Notice of Disagreement” of the Net Working Capital Amount submitted by ORBCOMM.  The Agreement stipulates third party arbitration to resolve disagreements over the working capital adjustment.  In an attempt to avoid the expense of submitting the disagreement to arbitration prematurely, and in consideration of mutual desires to resolve the issue, the parties agreed to extend the resolution period to November 30, 2012 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, 2012.  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 16 – 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 above is why the fair value measurement at June 30, 2011 of ORBCOMM’s Stock is based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets that are directly 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 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.  StarTrak revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 were less than the $20 million minimum and no payment was earned.

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 on 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.

9.        INVESTMENTS
 
    American Citizenship Center, LLC

On January 6, 2012, the Company agreed to provide a $300,000 working capital loan to American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”), a private company that provides 1) proprietary, automated on-line assistance for eligible immigrants to prepare for and obtain US citizenship; and 2) assistance in preparing and filing for Deferred Action for Undocumented Youth under a new policy developed by the Department of Homeland Security designed to allow certain people who did not intentionally violate immigration law to continue to live and work in the United States.  The Company received a $300,000 Note and a two year warrant to purchase 240,000 membership units (currently would equate to approximately 20% ownership) of ACC at an exercise price of $1.25 per unit.  The Note accrues interest at 7.5% (paid quarterly) on the outstanding balance, is payable in monthly installments of $75,000 commencing on March 31, 2013 and continuing until paid in full, provides for Alanco to have board of director representation and is secured by all assets and properties of ACC.  At June 30, 2012 the Company considered the value of the ACC warrants to be immaterial due to the startup nature of ACC, the limited time until the warrants expire and the significant premium (39%) of the exercise price compared to the most recent stock sales.  At June 30, 2012 Mr. Robert Kauffman, CEO of Alanco, had also made a personal investment in the membership units of ACC.

Subsequent to year end, Alanco agreed to amend the loan agreement increasing the maximum amount available under the loan to $400,000.  The additional availability was granted under similar terms and conditions to the original agreement and was to be used to open an office in Los Angeles, CA.  In addition to interest, Alanco received an additional warrant to acquire 60,000 units of ACC at $1.25 per unit.

          Symbius Financial, Inc.

Effective April 25, 2012, Alanco purchased 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”) issued by Symbius Financial, Inc. (“Symbius”) the developer and provider of PayEarly loan products.  PayEarly is a payroll loan product offered primarily through payroll provider partners using PayEarly’s unique software, seamlessly incorporated within the payroll provider’s payroll software platforms to process the loans directly to the employee.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 
The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares acquired are carried at cost at June 30, 2012 and were convertible into 300,000 shares of Symbius Common Stock, or an approximate 24% ownership.  Under terms of the transaction, Alanco paid $150,000 for the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares at closing and agreed to provide a secured credit line ($100,000 available at Closing) in the form of a term loan that, upon Symbius achieving certain financial objectives, could reach a maximum of $250,000.  The term loan was secured by all assets of Symbius, bears interest at 7 ½% and was repayable over a period of up to 17 months with payments commencing January 1, 2013.  In addition, Alanco obtained options, exercisable for 12 months from date of close, from major Symbius founders to acquire up to 250,000 Symbius common shares currently outstanding at $1.50 per share and Symbius warrants, effective for a period of 24 months from date of close, whereby Alanco can acquire up to 250,000 newly issued shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share.  Finally, the parties agreed that Alanco would have the right to acquire, from shareholders, through December 31, 2012 any remaining outstanding Symbius common shares in consideration of Alanco Common Stock at a ratio of 1.5 shares of Alanco for each share of Symbius and at a ratio of 2 shares of Alanco for each share of Symbius from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
 
As a result of a change in Symbius’s business model, effective July 30, 2012, with the approval of Alanco, Symbius repaid the $100,000 balance due under the term loan, plus interest of $2,847, and repurchased, for $250,000, the 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and all Symbius warrants and options held by the Company. The transaction resulted in a gain, net of related legal expense, of approximately $85,000 and terminated the Company's investment in Symbius.

Notes payable – Other, related party, at June 30, 2012, represents an unsecured convertible note due to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.  The note is a 10 day demand note in the amount of $28,000, bearing interest at 8% per annum, issued for additional working capital.  The $28,000 note is convertible into Class A Common Stock at $2.24 per share.  Related interest expense for fiscal 2012 and 2011 was $1,700 and $2,800, respectively, with total interest payable at June 30, 2012 of approximately $4,000.  See Note 14 – Related Party Transactions for additional information.

11.      FAIR VALUE - CONTINGENT PAYMENTS

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

Fair value – contingent purchase price of $500,000 represents the net present value of projected payments to be made to TC Operating, LLC (“TCO”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement under which TC Operating transferred a land lease for approximately 20 acres of land known as Deer Creek and all related tangible and intangible assets.  Per the agreement, the contingent payments are determined as 28% of the Cumulative EBITDA in excess of all of AES’s capital investment for the ten (10) year period commencing on the earlier of (i) the recovery of AES’s capital investment, or (ii) January 1, 2014.  AES’s Capital investment shall mean the aggregate amount incurred by AES in acquiring the Assets, the Indian Mesa Facility, and or improving either the Deer Creek Facility or the Indian Mesa Facility.   Payments of said Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable quarterly.  The projected payments consider current operating plans as approved by the Alanco Board of Directors, with payments discounted at a rate of 3% per annum to determine net present value.  See Note 5 – Alanco Energy Services for additional discussion on AES operations.
 
12.       FAIR VALUE - ASSET RETIRMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
The Company has recognized estimated asset retirement obligations (closure cost) of $410,000 to remove leasehold improvements, remediate any pollution issues and return the Deer Creek water disposal property to its natural state at the conclusion of the Company’s lease.  The closure process is a requirement of both the Deer Creek lease and the State of Colorado, a permitting authority for such facilities.  The closure cost estimate, in current dollars, was completed by an approved independent consultant experienced in estimating closure costs for water disposal operations and the estimated amount was, subsequent to June 30, 2012, approved by the State of Colorado.  Although the Deer Creek water disposal facility is anticipated to remain operational for a period of up to 30 years, a present value discount has not been taken as the estimated closure costs, excluding regulatory changes and inflation adjustments, are anticipated to remain fairly consistent over the operational life of the facility.

Asset retirement obligations are recorded in the period in which they are incurred and reasonably estimable.  Retirement of assets may involve efforts such as removal of leasehold improvements, contractually required demolition, and other related activities, depending on the nature and location of the assets.  In identifying asset retirement obligations, the Company considers identification of legally enforceable obligations, changes in existing law, estimate of potential settlement dates, and the calculation of an appropriate discount rate to be used in calculating the fair value of the obligation.   The Company performs an annual review and reassesses its estimates to determine if an adjustment to the value of the asset retirement obligation is required.

The laws of the State of Colorado require companies to meet environmental and asset retirement obligations by selecting an approved payment method.  The Company has elected to meet its obligation by making quarterly payments of approximately $3,500 into a trust that over the expected lease period will build liquid assets to meet the asset retirement obligation.

A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.  A valuation allowance is used to offset the related income tax assets due to uncertainties of realizing the benefits of certain net operating loss and tax credits.  The valuation allowance reflects a 100% reserve for all years reported above.  At June 30, 2012, the Company had net operating loss and capital loss carry-forwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $26,000,000.  The loss carry-forwards, unless utilized, will expire from 2013 through 2032.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.

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

14.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Alanco 2011 Stock Incentive Plan 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

On October 10, 2011, the Company entered into employment agreements with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  The agreements have severance provisions and are effective through December 31, 2014.  In addition, the Company and the parties have agreed to defer certain compensation due in calendar 2011 to calendar 2012.  At June 30, 2012 all deferred amounts had been paid.  Prior to December 31, 2011, the Company also agreed to defer the January 1, 2012 salary reductions discussed in the agreements due to anticipated increased business activity.  The effective date of the salary reduction is currently on hold and will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.
 
On April 10, 2012, the Company granted five year stock options to directors, officers and employees to acquire 635,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share.  The stock options vest over a 15 month period.  Simultaneously with the grants, the Company cancelled outstanding stock options to the same directors, officers and employee to purchase a total of 398,800 shares at a price of $1.50 per share, with expiration dates ranging from May 16, 2012 to November 16, 2015. 
 
On January 6, 2012, the Company agreed to provide a $300,000 working capital loan to American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”), a private company that provides 1) proprietary, automated on-line assistance for eligible immigrants to prepare for and obtain US citizenship; and 2) assistance in preparing and filing for Deferred Action for Undocumented Youth under a new policy developed by the Department of Homeland Security designed to allow certain people who did not intentionally violate immigration law to continue to live and work in the United States.  The Company received a $300,000 Note and a two year warrant to purchase 240,000 membership units (currently would equate to approximately 20% ownership) of ACC at an exercise price of $1.25 per unit.  The Note accrues interest at 7.5% (paid quarterly) on the outstanding balance, is payable in monthly installments of $75,000 commencing on March 31, 2013 and continuing until paid in full, provides for Alanco to have board of director representation and is secured by all assets and properties of ACC.  During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized interest income in the amount of $10,900 and at June 30, 2012 the Company recorded interest receivable in the amount of $5,600.  In addition, at June 30, 2012 the Company recorded other receivables from ACC in the amount of $9,000 representing fees for accounting services provided by the Company.  Mr. Robert Kauffman, CEO of Alanco, has also made a personal investment in the membership units of ACC and currently has an approximate 10% ownership in ACC.

Notes payable at June 30, 2012 included a $28,000 unsecured convertible note, bearing interest at 8% issued           to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for additional working capital.   See Note 10 – Notes Payable for additional discussion of the related party note.  During the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 the Company accrued approximately $1,700 and $2,800, respectively, in interest expense related to the note and at June 30, 2012 had a total of $4,000 of accrued but unpaid interest expense.

15.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases – At June 30, 2012, the Company’s corporate office was located at 7950 E. Acoma Drive, Suite 111, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260, in an approximately 1,500 square foot facility.  The facility was leased under a thirteen month agreement requiring payment of $1,471 per month (including rental tax).  The lease expired on July 31, 2012 and Alanco is currently operating under a month to month agreement.  Alanco also leases office equipment with a monthly payment of approximately $200 under a lease that expires in July 2013.

In April 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc. ("AES"), a new wholly owned subsidiary, and through AES executed an agreement with TC Operating, LLC ("TCO") of Grand Junction, CO to transfer a land lease for 20 acres near Grand Junction, CO (known as the Deer Creek site) with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, and termed "produced water".  The agreement included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to construct the facilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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

In conjunction with acquiring the land lease, AES entered into a management services agreement, dated February 1, 2012, with TCO to assist in renegotiating terms of the land lease, assist in the design and construction of the Deer Creek water disposal facility and, when the construction is completed, provide general management services for the water disposal operations.  Compensation for the services provided was $10,000 per month until the actual start of permitted construction and $20,000 per month thereafter.  Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the management services agreement was amended; increasing the monthly payment to $23,000 to compensate TCO for providing increased administrative duties on behalf of AES.  The initial term of the agreement is through January 31, 2013, however the agreement may be terminated by either party upon 15 days prior written notice.  If the agreement is terminated by AES, TCO will receive severance equal to two months of the management fee.

Future minimum non-contingent payments as of June 30, 2012 are as follows:

Legal Proceedings - The Company’s subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, LLC was made a defendant concerning certain patent infringement claims.  Innovative Global Systems LLC v. StarTrak Systems, LLC, et al.  Case No.: 6:10-CV-00327, is a patent infringement action venued in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.  During the negotiation process to resolve the claims, the StarTrak operations were sold to ORBCOMM, Inc. (“ORBCOMM”) in a transaction structured as an asset purchase and documented in an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) whereby ORBCOMM acquired substantially all of StarTrak’s assets and liabilities.   StarTrak and ORBCOMM have resolved the action by StarTrak agreeing to pay $100,000, with a like amount to be paid by ORBCOMM, thus avoiding substantially greater expenses than would likely be incurred in defending the action.  Payment of StarTrak’s portion of the costs to resolve the claims has been allowed for in the Patent Litigation Escrow established at the time of the ORBCOMM transaction.

StarTrak was 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 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 tendered its defense in the lawsuit to its insurance company, and  the action was dismissed against StarTrak.
 
The Company may also, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2012, there was no other such litigation pending deemed material by the Company.

16.      SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Shares – In fiscal 2003, the Company allocated 5,000,000 of the 25,000,000 authorized shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock to be known as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A”).  All Series A Preferred Stock outstanding were converted to Class A Common Stock during FYE 2008 and no shares have been issued since, therefore, there were no Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at June 30, 2012 or 2011.

During fiscal 2002, the Company allocated an additional 500,000 shares of the authorized shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock to be known as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”), and in a transaction with an accredited investor, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Series B at $10.00 per share for a value received of $500,000 ($487,300 net of related expenses).  The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has priority ranking superior to the Common Stock of the Company and all other series of preferred stock with respect to payment of dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation and winding-up of the Company.   The preferred shares are each convertible into .65 shares of Common Stock and each Series B Preferred Share has voting rights equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B is convertible.    The Company may redeem the Series B shares, and the holder may demand redemption, at a redemption price equal to $10.00 per share, plus accrued unpaid dividends, if any, provided that the notice of redemption is sent by the Company or by the holder at least thirty days prior to the date of redemption specified.  The Company has the option of paying the aggregate redemption price in cash or Common Stock of the Company.  Holders of shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds and assets of the Company legally available therefore, an annual dividend of 10% per annum based upon a per share value of $10 for purposes of such dividend payment.  Dividends shall accrue, be cumulative from the date of issue and may be paid "in kind."  Dividends on Series B Preferred Shares paid "in-kind" during fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 amounted to 3,100 and 11,400 Series B Preferred Shares with values of approximately $30,500 and $114,800, respectively.

On December 30, 2011, the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock was repurchased by the Company in its entirety in exchange for an $800,000 non-interest bearing note payable in monthly payments of $200,000 commencing February 1, 2012 and continuing March 1, 2012, April 1, 2012 and May 1, 2012.  The difference between the $800,000 note amount and the $1,243,800 Series B Preferred Stock recorded amount, net of $600 of related legal expense, was recorded directly to equity as a gain on redemption of Series B Preferred Stock of $443,200.   Since the Preferred Stock was repurchased prior to the quarterly dividend declaration date, the dividends-in-kind for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were not accrued.  At June 30, 2012 and 2011, there were zero and 122,600 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, respectively

The Company allocated an additional 500,000 of authorized preferred shares to be known as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D”) in fiscal 2008.  The Series D Preferred Stock has a priority ranking superior to the Common Stock of the Company and all other series of preferred stock, except the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which has a ranking superior to the Series D Preferred Stock, with respect to payment of dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation and winding-up of the Company.  Initially, holders of Series D were entitled to receive, when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds and assets of the Company legally available therefore, an annual cash dividend of 15% per annum, paid quarterly, based upon a per share value of $10.00 for purposes of such dividend payment.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company completed an agreement with the Series D Preferred Stock shareholders to amend the Powers, Preferences, Rights, and Limitations reducing dividends from 15% per annum to 5% and to provide a conversion feature into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at the rate of $4.00 per share or 2.5 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series D Preferred Stock.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, holders of the Series D, under Series D conversion terms, converted 51,900 shares, valued at $518,900, into 129,700 Class A Common Stock of the Company.  In addition, the Company retired the remaining Series D shares through an offer to Series D holders to exchange their Series D for an equal stated value of ORBCOMM Series A Convertible Preferred Stock received by the Company in the sale of StarTrak operations to ORBCOMM.  The Company also issued 32,600 shares, valued at $47,700, of Class A Common Stock during fiscal year 2011 for current and accrued Series D dividends.  See dividend table below for additional information on dividends expense for fiscal 2012 and 2011.  At June 30, 2012 and 2011, there was no Series D Preferred Stock outstanding.

Effective July 30, 2012, with the approval of Alanco, Symbius repaid the $100,000 balance due under the term loan, plus interest of $2,847, and repurchased, for $250,000, the 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and all Symbius warrants and options held by the Company. The transaction resulted in a gain, net of related legal expense, of approximately $85,000 and terminated the Company's investment in Symbius.  See Note 9 – Investments for additional discussion of the Symbius investment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As more fully discussed in Note 7 - Sale of Operating Segments, the Company and ORBCOMM are attempting to resolve certain disagreements relative to a “Working Capital Adjustment” calculation as required pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) wherein ORBCOMM purchased substantially all the assets of StarTrak Systems, LLC from the Company.  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, subsequent to June 30, 2012 the parties agreed to extend the resolution period to November 30, 2012 to resolve the issue.  As of the filing of this Form 10-K, the parties were reviewing the working capital calculations and fuel sensor escrow claims but no resolution had been reached.

Subsequent to June 30, 2012 and through the date of this report, the Company sold 402,888 shares of ORBCOMM, Inc. (presented at June 30, 2012 as Marketable Securities - Restricted) for approximately $1,453,200, or an average of $3.61 per share.  See Note 4 - Marketable Securities – Restricted for additional discussion on the ORBCOMM stock held.

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, 2012, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  Management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods and dates presented.
 
(b)  MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 
With the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012, 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, 2012 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, 2012 was at the corporate offices in Scottsdale, AZ.  Previous issues with internal control weaknesses arose from these operating segments, the disposal of which eliminated those weaknesses.  At June 30, 2012 the Company was in the process of establishing internal controls for its new operating subsidiary, Alanco Energy Services, Inc.

Non-Director Significant Employees

Generally, the Company reports officers of its operating subsidiaries.  However, the Company did not have any operating subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012 and therefore there are no associated officers to report.

Audit/Corporate Governance Committee

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

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

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

The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee provides general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting and disclosure practices, system of internal controls, and the Company’s processes for monitoring compliance by the Company with Company policies.  The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee reviews with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the scope of the audit for the year, the results of the audit when completed, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s fee for services performed.  The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee also recommends the independent registered public accounting firm to the Board of Directors and reviews with management various matters related to its internal accounting controls.  During the last fiscal year, there were 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.
 
Compliance with Section 16(a) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s Officers and Directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Officers, Directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  Based solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Form 5’s were required, the Company believes that as of the date of filing of this Form 10-K, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, Directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were satisfied.

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, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $99,300 and $98,900, 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, 2012 and 2011, were approximately $16,500 and $21,100, respectively.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The 2012 and 2011 audit services provided by Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP were approved by our Audit/Corporate Governance Committee.  The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee implemented pre-approval policies and procedures related to the provision of audit and non-audit services.  Under these procedures, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee pre-approves both the type of services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm and the estimated fees related to these services.  During the approval process, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee considers the impact of the types of services and related fees on the independence of the auditor.  These services and fees must be deemed compatible with the maintenance of the auditor’s independence, in compliance with the SEC rules and regulations.  Throughout the year, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee and, if necessary, the Board of Directors, reviews revisions to the estimates of audit and non-audit fees initially approved.
