Note A – Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

Recent Business Development

As was discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012, the sale, in May of 2011, of the Company’s last operating unit, the Wireless Asset Management segment, resulted in Alanco effectively becoming a holding company. The Company believed that status to be temporary and had stated its objective to complete an appropriate acquisition or merger and again become an operating company.

In compliance with that objective 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 of 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 (approximately $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 as discussed above. AES recorded the $100,000 payment as prepaid royalties.

TCO can also earn contingent purchase price payments based upon a percentage of the net AES 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 I – Fair Value - Contingent Payments for additional discussion of the contingent purchase price 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 AES quarterly revenues in excess of operating expenses (contingent land payment). See Note I – Fair Value - Contingent Payments for additional discussion of the contingent land payment.

Related to the treatment and disposal facilities, AES has 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 were attained in May 2012. 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 covenants not to compete.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements. Such necessary adjustments consist of normal recurring items and the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s June 30, 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period financials to the presentation in the current reporting period. The reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

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 September 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):

		Level 1:
		Quoted Prices		Level 2:
		in active		Significant		Level 3:		Total
		Markets		Other		Significant		at
		for Identical		Observable		Unobservable		September 30,
		Assets		Inputs		Inputs		2012
Marketable Securities - Restricted	$	-	$	2,591,800	$	-	$	2,591,800

Asset Retirement Obligation		-		-		410,000		410,000

Contigent Land Payment		-		-		627,300		627,300

Contingent Purchase Price		-		-		501,900		501,900

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

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 at September 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.

Fair Value of Asset Retirement Obligation – The 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.

New Accounting Policies

During the current quarter, the Company adopted the following significant accounting policies:

Revenue Recognition – The Company operates the Deer Creek water disposal facility near Grand Junction, CO and bills customers (primarily in the oil and gas industry) for produced water received. The Company recognizes revenue generally at the time the produced water is received at the Deer Creek facility and billed. Revenue is generally recognized when all the following have been met:

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

·	Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

·	The service has been performed;

·	The customer’s fee is deemed to be determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and

·	Collectability is probable.

Accounts Receivable Trade – The Company provides for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable by use of the allowance method. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based upon a review of the individual accounts outstanding, the Company’s prior history and the customer credit worthiness. There were no provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable amounts at September 30, 2012. The Company does not typically accrue interest or fees on past due amounts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted and the Company has adopted the guidance, which had no material impact on its financial position and results of operations. There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended September 30, 2012, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

Note B – Stock-Based Compensation and Warrants

The Company has stock-based compensation plans and reports stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards based on the estimated grant date fair value. The value of the compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the award (generally 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 is 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 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 future forfeitures.

The Company has several employee stock option and officer and director stock option plans that have been approved by the shareholders of the Company. The plans require that options be granted at a price not less than market on the date of grant and are more fully discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.

Note C – Marketable Securities – Restricted

At September 30, 2012, the Company had net Marketable Securities - Restricted in the amount of $2,591,800 representing the market value ($3.74 per share) of 692,996 ORBCOMM Common Shares (NASDAQ: ORBC) received as partial consideration in the May 16, 2011 sale of StarTrak, net of an estimated 83,306 shares to be returned to ORBCOMM for settlement of obligations under the escrow agreement more fully discussed in our Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The net cost basis of these shares at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 is $2.91 per share.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

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 total shares received) monthly. The Company has classified these securities as available-for-sale at September 30, 2012. The fair value measurement at September 30, 2012 is based upon quoted prices from similar assets in active markets and thus represents a Level 2 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.

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 $3.26 per share at June 30, 2012 to $3.74 per share at September 30, 2012, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on marketable securities held at September 30, 2012 (presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss)), of $332,600. The actual gain or loss of securities sold is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At September 30, 2012, the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of $575,200 was presented in the Shareholders’ Equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 write-down as an investment loss in its Statement of Operations. As of close of market on November 6, 2012, the per share value of the ORBCOMM Common Stock was $3.39, $.48 per share above the cost basis of $2.91 per share and below the September 30, 2012 valuation of $3.74 per share as presented on the attached balance sheet.

The Company sold a total of 402,888 shares of ORBCOMM, Inc. Common Stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 for total proceeds of $1,453,200, and an average selling price of approximately $3.61 per share, resulting in a net gain of $280,800. The remaining net shares at September 30, 2012 of 692,996 includes approximately 83,300 shares that are still held in escrow.

Note D – Notes Receivable

Notes receivable at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 consist of the following:

Note receivable – American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”) represents a note due from American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”), a related party. The ACC note was executed in a January 6, 2012 transaction, whereby 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 both September 30, 2012 and 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 membership unit sales. At both June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012, Mr. Robert Kauffman, CEO of Alanco, was a personal investor in the membership units and owned approximately 10% of ACC.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, 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 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. At September 30, 2012, ACC had a note balance of $350,000 under the $400,000 Alanco commitment.

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.

The Symbius note relates to a transaction effective April 25, 2012, whereby Alanco purchased 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”) issued by 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.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

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 $86,800 and terminated the Company's investment in Symbius.

Note F – Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share of common stock was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are options, warrants, convertible debt, and preferred stock that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than the prevailing market price. Dilutive securities are not included in the weighted average number of shares when inclusion would increase the earnings per share or decrease the loss per share. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no dilutive securities included in the loss per share calculation as the effect would be antidilutive. Considering all holders’ rights, total common stock equivalents issuable under these potentially dilutive securities are approximately 830,500 and 709,400 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note G – Equity

The Company did not issue any Class A Common Stock during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Stock-based compensation recognized during the period was valued at $34,200.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized a comprehensive unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the amount of $191,600, reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, to reflect the increase in value of Marketable Securities – Restricted held at September 30, 2012. See Note A – Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Policies and Pronouncements for additional discussion of fair value of financial instruments and marketable securities.

In December 2011, the Company announced that its board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program whereby the Company could repurchase up to 2 million shares of its outstanding common stock through December of 2012. As of September 30, 2012 the Company had repurchases under the program totaling 44,200 shares at a cost of approximately $30,300, or $.69 per share, all of which were purchased prior to July 1, 2012.

The Company has authorized 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of which 5,000,000 shares were allocated to a class known as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; 500,000 shares were allocated to Series B Preferred Stock; 500,000 shares were allocated to Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and 750,000 were allocated to Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

Note H – Notes Payable

Notes payable of $228,000 at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 consists of a $28,000 convertible note, bearing interest at 8% and convertible into Class A Common Stock at $2.24 per share, issued to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for additional working capital (see Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 for additional discussion of the outstanding note payable) and a $200,000 note assumed in the April 2012 purchase of a 160 acre parcel of Colorado land referred to as Indian Mesa. The note, due to Indian Mesa, Inc., a previous owner of the land, is secured by the land, is non-interest bearing, and is due on November 15, 2012. Due to the short term nature of the note, no interest rate was imputed. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 the Company accrued approximately $600 in interest expense related to the $28,000 note. See Note L – Related Party Transactions for additional discussion of the note payable.

Note I - Fair Value - Contingent Payments

Fair value – contingent payments at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 relate to AES asset purchase transactions completed in conjunction with the construction of water disposal facilities for the treatment and disposal of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Fair value – contingent land payment of $627,300 at September 30, 2012 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. Interest is being imputed at 3% per annum, increasing the fair value of the contingent land payment during the three months ended September 30, 2012 by $2,300.

Fair value – contingent purchase price of $501,900 at September 30, 2012 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. Interest is being imputed at 3% per annum, increasing the fair value of the contingent land payment during the three months ended September 30, 2012 by $1,900.

Note J – Fair Value - Asset Retirement Obligation

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 approved by the State of Colorado during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. 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.

Note K – Commitments and Contingencies

Sale of StarTrak Systems, LLC

In May of 2011, the Company sold the operations of StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), a subsidiary comprising the Company’s Wireless Asset Management segment, to ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM”). (See Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 for a complete discussion on the sale.) The following discusses the remaining unresolved contingency items related to the sale as of September 30, 2012:

Working Capital Adjustment – The Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) 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. If the defined working capital decreased during the period, Alanco will return that amount from ORBCOMM Common Stock, valued at $3.001 per share.

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 September 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-Q, the parties were reviewing the working capital calculations and no resolution had been reached.

Product Warranty Escrow - The APA required a Product Warranty Escrow account in the amount of 166,611 shares of ORBCOMM common stock be established to provide 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 September 30, 2012 and 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 September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012. 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.

Legal Proceedings

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

Note L – Related Party Transactions

Notes payable at September 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 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 for additional discussion of the related party note. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 the Company accrued approximately $600 in interest expense related to the note and at September 30, 2012 had a total of $4,600 of accrued but unpaid interest expense.

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 had agreed to defer certain compensation to future years. At September 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. Copies of the agreements were attached as exhibits to the Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

The Company agreed to amend the ACC loan agreement on August 14, 2012 increasing the maximum amount available under the loan from $300,000 to $400,000. ACC had drawn an additional $50,000 of the available line as of September 30, 2012 at which point the note balance outstanding under the agreement was $350,000. The additional availability was granted under similar terms and conditions to the original loan and was to be used to open an office in Los Angeles, CA. Alanco also received an additional warrant to acquire 60,000 units of ACC at $1.25 per unit. See Note 9 – Investments in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 for additional discussion of the ACC investment. In addition to interest, the Company bills ACC for accounting services provided. At September 30, 2012, other receivables included approximately $6,100 of interest receivable and $9,000 of billings related to the performance of accounting services.

Note M – Subsequent Events

Subsequent to September 30, 2012 and through the date of this report, the Company sold 200,027 shares of ORBCOMM, Inc. (presented at September 30, 2012 as marketable securities) for approximately $792,300, or an average of $3.96 per share. See Note C - Marketable Securities – Restricted for additional discussion on the ORBCOMM stock held.

Note N - Liquidity

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported net income of $95,900 and for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of ($635,200). During fiscal 2013, the Company expects to meet its working capital and other cash requirements with its current cash reserves and sales of marketable securities as required. However, if for any reason, the Company does require additional working capital to complete its business plan, there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts to acquire the required additional working capital will be successful. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations, identify profitable acquisition/merger candidates and/or successfully invest its capital.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, estimates are revalued, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These areas include allowances for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, income taxes, ongoing litigation, commitments and contingencies, and marketable securities. Our estimates are based upon historical experience, observance of trends in particular areas, information and/or valuations available from outside sources and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions and 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 accounts receivable trade, realization of notes receivable, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, the recorded values of accruals and fair values of assets and liabilities including the Company’s contingent liabilities.

Results of Operations

Presented below is management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated:

(A)	Three months ended September 30, 2012 versus three months ended September 30, 2011

Net Revenues

As previously discussed in this Form 10-Q, the Company’s operating entity, Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”) initiated, during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the operations of the Deer Creek water disposal facility near Grand Junction, CO and reported initial quarter net revenues of $101,200. No revenues were reported for the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year as the Company had no operating units and was effectively a holding company.

Cost of Goods sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $64,500 consist of direct labor costs, equipment costs (including depreciation), land lease costs and other operating costs. The gross margin for the quarter was approximately 36%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 (consisting of corporate expenses, AES selling, general and administrative expense, amortization of stock-based compensation and depreciation expense) was $314,800, an increase of $9,300, or 3.0%, compared to $305,500 reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Corporate expenses for the current quarter was $195,400 and represented a decrease of $101,600, or 34.2%, compared to corporate expenses of $297,000 reported for the comparable quarter ended September 30, 2011. The decrease resulted from reduced corporate operating expense and increased allocation of corporate service cost to AES and billings for services provided to ACC. AES operating expense of $84,500 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 relates to the new Deer Creek Water Disposal facility that initiated operation during the current quarter and represented general overhead associated with the operation. Amortization of stock-based compensation increased to $34,200 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, from $7,800 for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The increase relates to options vesting in the current quarter that were granted in fiscal year 2012.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Operating Loss

Operating Loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was ($278,100), a decrease of $27,400, or 9.0%, compared to an Operating Loss of ($305,500) reported for the same quarter of the prior year. The decreased operating loss results from an increase in revenues and gross profit.

Other Income and Expense

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $6,200, an improvement of $6,300 when compared to interest expense of ($100) for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The increase in interest income related to the ACC notes outstanding and the Symbius investment.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded net gains on the sale of its Symbius investment of $86,800, and on sale of marketable securities of $280,800, resulting from the sale of approximately 402,888 shares of its ORBCOMM Common Stock at an average selling price of $3.61 per share. The Company did not sell marketable securities during the comparable quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Dividends

The Company had no dividend expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $30,500 in preferred stock dividends recorded in the comparable quarter ended September 30, 2011. The dividend expense in fiscal year 2011 related to Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that was redeemed by the Company in December 2011.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders

Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $95,900, or $.02 per share, a $432,000 improvement when compared to a loss of ($336,100), or ($.07) per share, in the comparable quarter of the prior year for reasons discussed above.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income for the current quarter represents the unrealized change in market value of the Company’s Marketable Securities held at September 30, 2012 compared to prior periods and for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 consisted of the net value of three items: 1) an Unrealized Gain on Marketable Securities, net of tax, of $332,600 resulting from an increase in the market value of the shares held at the end of the year compared to the cost basis of $2.91 per share, determined as market value on the May 16, 2011 acquisition date; 2) the quarter ending market value reclassification adjustment for gain included in Net Income of $280,800; 3) the net unrealized gain on marketable securities sold during the period of $139,800. At September 30, 2012 the Company valued 692,996 shares (net of escrow shares) of ORBCOMM, Inc. Common Stock at $3.74 per share for a total value of $2,591,800.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s current assets at September 30, 2012 exceeded current liabilities by $3,016,200, resulting in a current ratio of 5.25 to 1. At June 30, 2012, current assets exceeded current liabilities by $3,473,900 reflecting a current ratio of 4.8 to 1. The reduction in net current assets at September 30, 2012 versus June 30, 2012 was due primarily to the sale of marketable securities to fund purchases in Land, Property and Equipment of ($824,000), offset by net income of $95,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and by an unrealized gain on marketable securities of $191,600, net of tax, reported separately in the equity section of the balance sheet due to market value increases of Marketable Securities – Restricted held at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Accounts receivable of $56,100 represents the outstanding billings at September 30, 2012 of the AES water disposal operation that initiated operations during the current quarter. Other receivables represents $50,000 of construction costs reimbursable by the Deer Creek landlord and $30,200 of accrued interest on investment notes receivable and billings for accounting services to ACC, a related party.

Cash used in operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was ($541,100), an increase of ($218,100), or 68% compared to the ($323,000) reported for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net cash used in operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was due primarily to increases in receivables, and decreases in accounts payable and accruals.

Cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $928,100 and was due to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and the Symbius investment of approximately $1.8 million, offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $824,000 and issuance of an additional $50,000 note to ACC. There were no investing activities reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

There were no financing activities reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The $147,200 net cash provided by financing activities reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 related primarily to proceeds for exercise of stock options.

During fiscal 2013, the Company expects to meet its working capital and other cash requirements with its current cash reserves and sales of marketable securities as required. However, the Company may require additional working capital for future operations. While the Company believes that it will succeed in attracting additional required capital and will generate capital from future operations, there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will be successful. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations, identify profitable acquisition/merger candidates and/or successfully invest its capital.
