Alanco Announces Strategic Sale
of Subsidiary Excel Meridian Data, Inc.
(Scottsdale, AZ - March 22, 2010) - Alanco Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ: ALAN),
today announced further implementation of its strategic plan (November 11, 2009
News Release) to focus on the Company's wireless monitoring services business
through the sale of its data storage subsidiary, Excel Meridian Data, Inc.,
located in Carrollton, Texas. Excel Meridian was sold to a private investor
in a transaction, which closed on March 19, 2010, valued at approximately
$500,000, including cash, notes and assumed liabilities.
Robert R. Kauffman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "This Excel
Meridian transaction, although relatively small, represents an important,
initial step in implementation of our plan to focus upon accelerating growth of
our StarTrak recurring subscription revenue business model. We are also actively
engaged in continuing discussions relative to a potential near-term sale of our
major TSI PRISM RFID tracking subsidiary. Our primary StarTrak business,
meanwhile, is evidencing continued consecutive quarterly growth with this March
ending quarter's sales growth expected to again reach 20%".
Alanco Technologies, Inc. provides wireless monitoring and asset management
solutions through its StarTrak Systems subsidiary. StarTrak Systems is the
dominant provider of tracking, monitoring and control services to the
