ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD APRIL 28, 2014

GENERAL INFORMATION

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of Alanco Technologies, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the "Company"), for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 7950 E. Acoma Drive, Suite 111, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260, on the 28th day of April 2014, at 10:00 a.m., Mountain Standard Time, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

In accordance with rules approved by the SEC, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to shareholders. Consequently, most shareholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these shareholders a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials with instructions for accessing the proxy materials, including our proxy statement and annual report, and voting via the Internet. The Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials also provides information on how shareholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. We believe this procedure makes the proxy distribution process more efficient and helps in conserving natural resources. Our proxy statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 28, 2014, other proxy material and our annual report to shareholders for fiscal year 2013 is available at https://www.iproxydirect.com/ALAN.

The expense of soliciting proxies, including the cost of preparing, assembling, mailing and Internet procedures mentioned above to distribute this proxy material to shareholders, will be borne by the Company. It is anticipated that solicitations of proxies for the Meeting will be made only by use of mail; however, the Company may use the services of its Directors, Officers and employees to solicit proxies personally or by telephone without additional salary or compensation to them. Brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward the proxy soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of the Company's shares held of record by such persons, and the Company will reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in that connection.

Shares not voting as a result of a proxy not marked or marked to abstain will be counted as part of total shares voting in order to determine whether or not a quorum has been achieved at the Meeting. Shares registered in the name of a broker-dealer or similar institution for beneficial owners to whom the broker-dealer distributed notice of the Annual Meeting and proxy information and which such beneficial owners have not returned proxies or otherwise instructed the broker-dealer as to voting of their shares, will be counted as part of the total shares voting in order to determine whether or not a quorum has been achieved at the Meeting.

All shares represented by valid proxies will be voted in accordance therewith at the Meeting unless such proxies have previously been revoked. Proxies may be revoked at any time prior to the time they are voted by: (a) delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written instrument of revocation bearing a date later than the date of the proxy; or (b) duly executing and delivering to the Secretary a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares; or (c) attending the meeting and voting your proxy in person (although attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy).

The Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, is available to shareholders via the Internet or through request for a printed copy. The Form 10-K constitutes part of this proxy.

PROPOSALS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Proposal No. 1		ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;

Proposal No. 2		RATIFICATION OF RE-APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM;

SHARES OUTSTANDING AND VOTING RIGHTS

Voting rights are vested in the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 27, 2014, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. As of February 27, 2014, the Company had 4,932,500 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of any Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. Each Class A Common share is entitled to one vote. No fractional shares are outstanding. A majority of the Company's outstanding voting stock represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, providing a quorum is present, is necessary to approve each proposal.

Each shareholder present, either in person or by proxy, will have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of Directors. Under cumulative voting, each shareholder is entitled to as many votes as is equal to the number of voting rights of the Company held by the shareholder on the Record Date multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and such votes may be cast for any single nominee or divided among two or more nominees. The five nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to the Board of Directors. There is no conditions precedent to the exercise of cumulative voting rights. Unless otherwise instructed in any proxy, the persons named in the form of proxy which accompanies this Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Holders") will vote the proxies received by them for the Company’s five nominees set forth in "Election of Directors" below. If additional persons are nominated for election as directors, the Proxy Holders intend, unless otherwise instructed in any proxy, to vote all proxies received by them in such manner in accordance with cumulative voting as will assure the election of as many of the Company's nominees as possible, and, in such event, the specific nominees for whom votes will be cast will be determined by the Proxy Holders. If authority to vote for any nominee of the Company is withheld in any proxy, the Proxy Holders intend, unless otherwise instructed in such proxy, to vote the shares represented by such proxy, in their discretion, cumulatively for one or more of the other nominees of the Company.

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

(4)	The percentages for Class A Common Stock shown are calculated based upon 4,932,500 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on February 27, 2014. The percentages for Total Voting Rights Percent of Class are calculated based upon 4,932,500 voting rights as of February 27, 2014.

(5)	Represents unexercised stock options issued to named executive officers and directors. All options listed that were issued to the executive officers and directors were exercisable at February 27, 2014 or within 60 days.

(6)

The number and percentages shown include the voting rights shares actually owned as of February 27, 2014 and the shares of common stock that the identified person or group had a right to acquire within 60 days after February 27, 2014. The percentages shown are calculated based upon 4,932,500 voting rights as of February 27, 2014. In calculating the percentage of ownership, option shares are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of shares owned by such person, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of shares owned by any other stockholders.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has a Compensation/Administration Committee, formed in 1995, and comprised of Messrs. Harold S. Carpenter and James T. Hecker, who are independent directors of the Company. The Compensation/Administration Committee recommends to the Board the compensation of executive officers and serves as the Administrative Committee for the Company's Stock Option Plans.

The Board of Directors also has an Audit/Corporate Governance Committee. The Audit Committee was originally formed in 1995. In September 2004, the Board of Directors approved a name change for the committee to Audit/Corporate Governance Committee to more accurately reflect the additional duties and responsibilities of the committee as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee, comprised of Messrs. Harold S. Carpenter, James T. Hecker, and Thomas C. LaVoy, all of whom are independent directors of the Company who have significant business experience and are deemed to be financially knowledgeable, serves as a liaison between the Board and the Company's independent auditor. The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee provides general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting and disclosure practices, system of internal control, and the Company’s processes for monitoring compliance with Company policies. The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee reviews with the Company’s independent auditors the scope of the audit for the year, the results of the audit when completed, and the independent auditor’s fee for services performed. The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee also recommends independent auditors to the Board of Directors and reviews with management various matters related to its system of internal control. The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of independent members as defined under the National Association of Securities Dealers listing standards. In addition to conference calls with audit committee members and the Company’s independent auditors, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

The final Board committee is the Nominating/Independent Directors Committee, which is comprised of Messrs. Harold S. Carpenter, James T. Hecker and Thomas C. LaVoy, all members of the Company’s Board of Directors who have been determined by the Board to meet the qualification as “independent” directors as set forth in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Per Board resolution, the Nominating/Independent Directors Committee approves all nominations for membership to the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, the Nominating/Independent Directors Committee meets in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only the independent directors are present.

All meetings held by the Board of Directors’ committees were attended by each of the directors serving on such committees.

The Company's Board of Directors held three meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, at which time all Directors were present either in person or telephonically. All current members of the Board of Directors’ committees are expected to be nominated for re-election at a meeting of the Board of Directors following the annual meeting.

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 this filing, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, Directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were satisfied.

Transactions with Management

See Note 13 in our Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, for related party transactions and discussion.

AUDIT/CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE REPORT (1)

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

The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company. The independent 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 on concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

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

The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee provides general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting and disclosure practices, system of internal control, 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 accountants the scope of the audit for the year, the results of the audit when completed, and the registered independent public accountant’s fee for services performed. The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee also recommends independent registered public accountants to the Board of Directors and reviews with management various matters related to its system of internal control. 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 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. Members of the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee's oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of the Company's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), that the financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is in fact "independent."

Review of Audited Financial Statements

In this context, the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements with management and with the Company’s independent auditors. Management represented to the Audit/Corporate Governance Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Discussions about the Company’s audited financial statements included the auditor’s judgments about the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in its financial statements. The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee also discussed with the auditors the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards, (“SAS”) No. 61 “Communication with Audit Committees,” as amended and as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.

The Company’s auditors provided to the Committee written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 “Independence Discussion with Audit Committee.” The Audit/Corporate Governance Committee discussed with the independent auditors their independence from the Company, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditor’s independence.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The fiscal year 2013 and 2012 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 auditors 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.

Recommendation

Proposal No. 2

RATIFICATION OF RE-APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has re-appointed the firm of Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, and has directed that such re-appointment be submitted to our shareholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Our organizational documents do not require that our shareholders ratify the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm. If our shareholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP, but still may retain it nonetheless. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests.

Representatives of Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. They also will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

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, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $82,000 and $99,300, 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, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $12,600 and $16,500 respectively.

All Other Fees

Other than the services described above under “Audit Fees”, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP did not provide other services.

As part of its responsibility for oversight of the independent registered public accountants, the Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy for engaging audit and permitted non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accountants. In accordance with this policy, each type of audit, audit-related, tax and other permitted service to be provided by the independent auditors is specifically described and each such service, together with a fee level or budgeted amount for such service, is pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated authority to its Chairman to pre-approve additional non-audit services (provided such services are not prohibited by applicable law) up to a pre-established aggregate dollar limit. All services pre-approved by the Chairman of the Audit Committee must be presented at the next Audit Committee meeting for review and ratification. All of the services provided by Semple, Marchal & Cooper LLP described above were approved by our Audit Committee.

The Company's principal accountant, Semple, Marchal & Cooper LLP, did not engage any other persons or firms other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees. Semple, Marchal & Cooper LLP, Phoenix, Arizona, was appointed as the Company's Independent Auditor for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" Proposal 2 to ratify the re-appointment of Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company.
