PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Alanco Technologies, Inc. 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. Alanco (Nasdaq: ALAN) is a provider of advanced information technology solutions with the Company’s operations for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 divided into three business segments (two of which are classified as discontinued operations) including: (i) RFID Technology – incorporating design, production, marketing and distribution of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tracking technology, (ii) Wireless Asset Management – incorporating the design, production, marketing, distribution and monitoring of wireless asset management products, primarily for the transportation industry, and (iii) Data Storage – incorporating the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of data storage products. At June 30, 2009 the Company had classified its Data Storage segment as Assets Held for Sale and during FY 2010 the Company added the RFID Technology segment. At June 30, 2010, the Wireless Asset Management segment was the only segment classified as continuing operations as the RFID Technology segment and the Data Storage segment were classified as Assets Held for Sale. Operating results for both the Data Storage and RFID Technology segments are presented as discontinued operations.
The June 30, 2006 acquisition of StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), a Delaware LLC located in Morris Plains, New Jersey, added Wireless Asset Management, a business segment described as a provider of wireless cellular and GPS tracking and monitoring services, which are offered on a monthly subscription basis to various industry segments. StarTrak’s primary focus is the refrigerated or “Reefer” segment of the transport industry, providing the dominant share of all wireless tracking, monitoring and control services to this market segment.
The Company acquired its RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tracking technology known as the TSI PRISM system in May 2002 through the acquisition of the operations of Technology Systems International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TSIN”). The Company entered the data storage market through its acquisition of Excel/Meridian Data, Inc., a manufacturer of attached storage devices and other storage related products for mid-range organizations. Excel/Meridian Data, Inc. was sold in the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
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, when the Company’s common stock began trading on a post split-adjusted basis under the interim trading symbol “ALAND” for a period of 20 days, after which the Company’s trading symbol returned to “ALAN”. (The Company again began trading under the trading symbol “ALAN” on September 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 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 of common shares outstanding were 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 loss per share for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split.
On August 18, 2010, the Company announced the divestiture of Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. (“TSI”) operations with the sale of assets and business of TSI to Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp., a private company located in Irondale, Alabama. The transaction, which closed on August 17, 2010, consisted of approximately $2 million in cash, and a potential earn-out, not valued in the transaction, that could approach five hundred thousand to one million dollars. With the previously announced (March 19, 2010) sale of the Company’s data storage operation, the transaction marks the completion of the Company’s asset divestiture program and redeployment of resources to focus upon growth of the Company’s StarTrak wireless asset management business. The divestiture program significantly improved Alanco’s financial position by reducing secured debt and eliminating the large operating losses associated with the divested businesses.
DESCRIPTION OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
WIRELESS ASSET MANAGEMENT
The Company’s Wireless Asset Management business segment was established by the acquisition, effective June 30, 2006, of StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”), a privately held Delaware LLC located in Morris Plains, New Jersey. StarTrak is a leading provider of wireless cellular, satellite and GPS tracking and monitoring services which are offered on a monthly subscription basis to various transportation industry segments. The Company’s primary focus is currently the refrigerated or “Reefer” segment of the transport industry. StarTrak provides the dominant share of all wireless tracking, monitoring and control services to this market segment.
Marketing – StarTrak markets its wireless tracking and subscription data services in the United States, both through dealers and the Company’s direct sales representatives. The primary focus of the marketing effort has been directed at the domestic refrigerated transport market and the reefer equipment providers. The Company is also expanding international sales opportunities and expects that segment to grow as well.
Raw Materials – The Wireless Asset Management segment utilizes various domestic suppliers for materials, parts and assembly used to manufacture its hardware products and a number of suppliers for its air time purchases, both cellular and satellite, required to provide its data services. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, one provider of parts and assembly accounted for 26% of total segment purchases and one vendor who provides satellite air time accounted for 30% of total purchases. During fiscal 2009, one provider of parts and assembly accounted for 21% of total purchases and one vendor who provides satellite air time accounted for 27% of total purchases.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The Company anticipates the Wireless Asset Management segment will utilize various domestic subcontractors in the future for materials and parts used to manufacture its products; however, certain vendors may represent more than 10% of total purchases. Additional suppliers are generally available at competitive pricing levels and we anticipate concentration of purchases will decrease as new products are introduced and volumes increase. The Company does not foresee any future significant shortages or substantial price increases that cannot be recovered from its customers.
Competitive Conditions - StarTrak is the dominant provider of wireless tracking and monitoring services that offers a subscription program targeted to the refrigerated or “Reefer” segment of the transport industry. There are other companies marketing tracking services to the general transport industry; however, to our knowledge, none have the capability of providing integration with the major manufacturers’ “Reefer” electronic systems that allows for the monitoring of various sensor data for control of such equipment on a real-time basis.
Employees - The Company’s Wireless Asset Management segment employed forty-three full-time and part-time employees as of June 30, 2010 and thirty-six full-time and part-time employees as of June 30, 2009.
Seasonality of Business - Location and tracking products have minimal seasonality. However, many of the products in this segment are marketed to commercial customers that are affected by annual budget schedules and economic conditions. Further, high asset utilization during the summer months can cause some seasonal effects on deployment of units.
Dependence Upon Key Customers – StarTrak has numerous end customers, many of which chose to purchase StarTrak products from two primary OEM refrigerator equipment suppliers. StarTrak is the only vendor currently providing the two OEMs with tracking and monitoring products for the refrigerated or Reefer segment of the transport industry. Additionally, the company delivered product and provided subscription services under a contract with a major customer that amounted to 26.2% and 30.0% of segment revenue for fiscal years ended 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Backlog Orders - The Company operates using order contracts that it considers to be firm. Under this method, the Company had unfulfilled contracts as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $9.0 and $8.5 million, respectively.
Research & Development - The Company estimates it incurred approximately $300,000 in research and development expenditures, recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses, in both fiscal years 2010 and 2009.
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 reach the sales goals anticipated from the StarTrak Systems acquisition. We acquired the operations of StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”) effective June 30, 2006. StarTrak is a leading provider of wireless tracking and subscription data services to the transportation industry, with a focus upon the refrigerated or “Reefer” segment of the transport industry. StarTrak provides wireless (including GPS, cellular and radio) tracking, monitoring and control services to this market. We are anticipating significant revenue growth from sales of StarTrak products in the transportation market. We do not have experience in the transportation market, and there is no certainty that we will be able to capture the required market share for StarTrak to achieve its anticipated financial success. The StarTrak system is currently being marketed to the transportation market as a tool to increase efficiency and reduce costs of the refrigerated supply chain by wireless monitoring and control of critical Reefer data, including GPS location, cargo temperatures and Reefer fuel levels. Although StarTrak is the dominant provider for tracking, management and control services of the refrigeration transport market and is currently the only tracking system, to the best of our knowledge, which is able to provide direct interaction with the customer allowing for remote adjustments of variables controlled by the unit, there are other tracking/monitoring systems being marketed to the refrigerated transport industry. There is no certainty that the transportation industry will adopt this technology broadly enough for us to reach our marketing projections.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The loss of key StarTrak personnel would have a negative impact on our StarTrak business and technology development. Our StarTrak technology is reliant on key personnel who developed and understand the technology. We have short-term contracts with some 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 technology 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 potential customers’ ability and willingness to purchase the products sold by our Company. StarTrak relies on a strong economy to support technology spending by our customers. Previous deterioration in general economic conditions resulted in reduced spending by our customers for our products. We have the ability to reduce overhead to assist in offsetting reduced sales volume; however, if the economic conditions were to deteriorate, we could experience a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial conditions.
Acts of domestic terrorism and war have impacted general economic conditions and may impact the industry and our ability to operate profitably. On September 11, 2001, acts of terrorism occurred in New York City and Washington, D.C. On October 7, 2001, the United States launched military actions on Afghanistan, and in 2003 launched military attacks on Iraq with ongoing operations in both areas. As a result of those terrorist acts and military actions, there has been a disruption in general economic activity. There may be other consequences resulting from those acts of terrorism, and any others which may occur in the future, including civil disturbance, war, riot, epidemics, public demonstration, explosion, freight embargoes, governmental action, governmental delay, restraint or inaction, quarantine restrictions, unavailability of capital, equipment, personnel, which we may not be able to anticipate. These terrorist acts and acts of war may continue to impact the economy, and in turn, reduce the demand for our products and services, which would harm our ability to make a profit.
The Company may not have sufficient capital to meet its liquidity needs if we are not able to carry out our fiscal year 2011 operating plan; Uncertainty of proceeds and additional financing. The Company incurred significant losses during fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2009 and has experienced significant losses in prior years. Although management cannot assure that future operations will be profitable or that additional debt and/or equity capital will be raised, we believe that, based on our fiscal 2011 operating plan, cash flow and additional funding sources will be adequate to meet our anticipated future requirements for working capital expenditures, scheduled lease payments and scheduled payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness. We will need to materially reduce expenses, or raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, or both, if the revenue and cash flow elements of our 2011 operating plan are not met. If we need to seek additional financing to meet working capital requirements, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our business, operating results, financial condition and ability to continue operations will be materially adversely affected.
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.
Our StarTrak intellectual property protection may not be sufficient to maintain the value of such property rights. Our primary business strategy is to develop StarTrak business opportunities. The long-term success of this strategy depends in part upon StarTrak’s intellectual property. Although we are not currently aware of any conflicting technology rights that we deem a material issue, third parties may hold United States or foreign patents which may be asserted in the future against StarTrak, and there is no assurance that any license that might be required under such patents could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, or otherwise. Our competitors may also independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
Our efforts to prohibit others from infringing upon StarTrak’s intellectual property may not be adequate. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights both in the United States and abroad, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so or that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate to deter infringement, misuse, misappropriation or independent third-party development of our technology or intellectual property rights or to prevent an unauthorized third party from copying or otherwise obtaining and using our products or technology. Litigation may also become necessary to defend or enforce our proprietary rights. Any of such events could have a negative impact on our competitive position in the markets we serve.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The loss of key corporate or subsidiary 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 industry specific knowledge and comprehensive operating plans for the Company. Our future success will depend on our ability to attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified technical, sales, operations and managerial personnel. At June 30, 2010, none of our executive officers are bound by an employment agreement, and none are covered by key-man insurance.
Additional competitors to StarTrak may arise that could affect the future projected StarTrak business. Although StarTrak currently is the dominant provider of tracking, management and control services of refrigeration transport Reefer units, it can be expected that if, and to the extent that, the demand for the StarTrak technology increases, the number of competitors will likely increase. Increasing competition could adversely affect the amount of new business we are able to attract, the rates we are able to charge for our services and/or products, or both.
We may not be able to maintain NASDAQ listing if we are unable to keep our stock price above the minimum $1.00 bid price per share. Our Class A Common Stock at June 30, 2010 traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “ALAN.” However, there can be no assurance that an active trading market in our Class A Common Stock will be available at any particular future time.
The Company was notified by NASDAQ on September 15, 2009 that the Company failed to comply with the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing as set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310 (c) (4) (the “Rule”). Therefore in accordance with the Rule, the Company was provided 180 calendar days or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance.
On March 19, 2010, the Company announced that it had received a Staff Determination letter from NASDAQ indicating that the Company had not complied with the minimum bid price requirements for continued listing as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 55509(a)(2) (the “Rule”), and that its securities may be subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market. Under the Rule, the Company appealed the Staff determination and requested a hearing before the NASDAQ Hearing Panel (the “Panel”). Under NASDAQ Listing Rules, a request for a hearing stays the delisting action pending the issuance of a written determination by the Panel. As a result of the appeal, the NASDAQ Hearing Panel determined the Company was in full compliance with all other NASDAQ continuing listing requirements and granted an extension until September 13, 2010 to regain the minimum NASDAQ bid price requirements of $1.00 per share.
The Company announced on August 26, 2010 that its Board of Directors had elected to effect a 1 for 8 reverse stock split that became effective on Friday, August 27, 2010, when the Company’s common stock began trading on a post split-adjusted basis under the interim trading symbol “ALAND” for a period of 20 days, after which the Company’s trading symbol returned to “ALAN”. The Company had previously received authority from its shareholders to affect a reverse split at a ratio within a specified range to maintain its NASDAQ listing.
On September 15, 2010, the Company announced that it had received notification from NASDAQ that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing, and further, that the Company complies with all other applicable standards for continuing listing of its securities on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
There can be no assurance that the Company’s stock will continue to trade above the minimum NASDAQ $1.00 per share bid requirement, or that the Company will be able to maintain listing requirements in the future, resulting in additional notifications that delisting may occur.
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 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.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Certain provisions in our Alanco shareholder rights plan may discourage a takeover attempt. We have implemented a shareholder rights plan which could make an unsolicited takeover of our company more difficult. As a result, shareholders holding a controlling block of shares may be deprived of the opportunity to sell their shares to potential acquirers at a premium over prevailing market prices. This potential inability to obtain a premium could reduce the market price of our common stock.
The market price of Alanco Class A Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
·
|
progress of our products through development and marketing;
|
·
|
announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
|
·
|
government regulatory action affecting our products or competitors' products in both the United States and foreign countries;
|
·
|
developments or disputes concerning patent or proprietary rights;
|
·
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
|
·
|
loss of a major lender;
|
·
|
the loss of key management or technical personnel;
|
·
|
the loss of major customers or suppliers;
|
·
|
the outcome of any future litigation;
|
·
|
changes in our financial estimates by securities analysts;
|
·
|
general market conditions for emerging growth and technology companies;
|
·
|
broad market fluctuations;
|
·
|
recovery from natural disasters; and
|
·
|
economic conditions in the United States or abroad.
|
Future sales of Alanco Class A Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect our stock price and our ability to raise funds in new equity offerings. We cannot predict the effect, if any, those future sales of shares of our common stock or the availability for future sale of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. For example, the availability of the shares covered by S-3 registration statements for sale, or of common stock by our existing stockholders under Rule 144, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock and could materially impair our future ability to raise capital through an offering of equity securities.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
At June 30, 2010, the Company’s corporate office and the ATSI operation were located in an approximate 9,300 square foot leased facility in Scottsdale, Arizona. On May 25, 2010, Alanco/TSI executed an extension of the current lease through July 31, 2011. The extension allowed TSI to defer a portion of the rent and CAM charges currently due and to reduce the square footage by 3,428 square feet to 5,864 effective August 1, 2010. As a result, the monthly base rent, CAM and taxes were reduced effective August 1, 2010 from $14,924 per month to $5,755 per month, excluding any deferred amounts. In addition, TSI shall have the right to terminate the lease after July 31, 2010 in the event that TSI is sold or the technology is licensed to a non-related third party, provided that TSI gives the landlord written notice of its intent to terminate the lease no less than three (3) months prior to the optional termination date.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Startrak Systems, LLC, is currently occupying approximately 14,000 square feet of an office/manufacturing facility located in Morris Plains, New Jersey. StarTrak signed the new lease in February 2008 and moved into the new facility in November 2008. The lease will expire on October 31, 2018.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Legal Proceedings - The Company’s subsidiary, StarTrak Systems, has recently been made a defendant concerning certain patent infringement claims as follows:
Arrivalstar S.A, et all. v. StarTrak Systems, LLC, et al. Case No.: 4:10-CV-0033. This action is a patent infringement action venued in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. StarTrak believes that the plaintiff’s patents are invalid due to prior art, based, in part, upon the substantial commercial activity concerning the patent claims long before the patents were applied for or issued. StarTrak is represented in this matter by the firm Holland & Knight, 131 South Dearborn Street, 30th Floor, Chicago, IL 60603.
Innovative Global Systems LLC v. StarTrak Systems, LLC, et al. Case No.: 6:10-CV-00327. This action is another patent infringement action venued in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Again, StarTrak believes that the plaintiff’s patents are invalid due to prior art, based, in part, upon the substantial commercial activity concerning the patent claims long before the patents were applied for or issued. StarTrak is represented in this matter by the firm Novak Druce & Quigg, LLP, 1000 Louisiana Street, Fifty Third Floor, Houston, Texas 77002.
Both of these lawsuits are quite early in the discovery stage and StarTrak’s counsel have not had the opportunity to form an opinion concerning the likely outcome. However, the Company’s management believes that the suits are without merit and the Company will vigorously defend itself in the matters.
The Company may also, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2010 there was no such litigation pending deemed material by the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Shareholders during the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF 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 judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation allowances for inventory and receivables, estimated fair value of stock based compensation, warranty reserves, percentage of completion method of accounting, income and expense recognition, realization of deferred tax assets and investments, and impairment of long-lived and intangible assets. 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 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 presented below 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, revenue recognition, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, estimates related to the valuation of inventory and receivables and the ultimate resolution of the current StarTrak litigation that is more fully discussed in Item 3, Legal Proceedings.

Sales
Reported net sales from continuing operations for fiscal year 2010 were $14,632,400, a 7.3% increase when compared to $13,633,600 reported for fiscal year 2009. The sales increase for the year resulted primarily from increased product demand in the refrigerated truck/trailer market and increases in the data services revenue as more units are monitored under monitoring contracts.
Sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 amounted to $4,202,500, a 32.4% increase when compared to $3,173,300 reported for the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year. Although revenues on a quarter to quarter comparison may fluctuate, management believes that increases in hardware sales and monitoring revenues will continue to increase in fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 through new product introductions and increased market penetration.
If the RFID Technology and Data Storage segments had been included in the consolidated operating results, consolidated sales for the year ended June 30, 2010 would have been $16,435,900 compared to $21,259,100 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $4,823,200, or 22.7%.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Gross Profit
The Company reported gross profit for fiscal year 2010 of $5,968,000 (40.8% of sales), an increase of $2,020,500 or 51.2%, when compared to $3,947,500 (29.0% of sales) for the prior year. The improvement in gross margin resulted from improved margins in sales for both hardware products and monitoring services. The increase in both gross profit and gross margin was due primarily to reduced warranty costs related to an early version of ReeferTrak product shipments that negatively affected margins, and the completion of low margin hardware sales in the prior year required to convert several major customers from analog to digital products. Gross margin can be impacted by economic conditions and specific market pressures. As a result, the change in gross margin reported for the current period is not considered to be a trend. Management does expect fiscal year gross margins will continue to improve compared to the same periods in the prior year, although the gross margin improvement may not be as significant as was reported for the year ended June 30, 2010.
If the RFID Technology and Data Storage segments had been included in consolidated operating results, consolidated gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2010 would have increased to $6,362,100 (38.7% of sales), a decrease of $99,100, or 1.5%, compared to $6,461,200 that would have been reported for the same period of the prior year.
Selling, General & Administrative Expense
Fiscal year 2010 total Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense, including stock based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization decreased to $7,661,000, a decrease of $339,300, or 4.2%, when compared to $8,000,300 reported for fiscal year 2009. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in reported stock based compensation from $1,412,400 in fiscal year 2009 to $400,300 in the current fiscal year due to the FYE 2009 election to change certain amortization assumptions ($135,000), change stock option vesting for Company directors and officers ($700,000) and to reprice certain employee stock options ($166,900) for a total cost of approximately $1 million.
SG&A expense, excluding corporate expense, stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization actually increased by $607,800, or 11.8%, to $5,779,500 from $5,171,700 reported for fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 due to increases in sales and marketing, engineering and administrative expenses. Corporate expenses increased to $946,300, an increase of $30,500, or 3.3%, compared to $915,800 reported for fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Stock based compensation for the year ended June 30, 2010 decreased significantly to $400,300, a decrease of $1,012,100, or 71.7% from $1,412,400 for the year ended June 30, 2009 as discussed above, and depreciation and amortization increased slightly to $534,900, a 6.9% increase from the $500,400 reported in the previous year.
If the discontinued operations had been included in consolidated operating results, total SG&A expenses for the year ended June 30, 2010 would have been $14,623,700, an increase of $3,957,600, or 37.1% when compared to $10,666,100 that would have been reported in fiscal year 2009. The increase resulted from $4,873,700 in impairment charges recorded during the current fiscal year to reduce the value of Assets Held for Sale. Excluding the impairment charges, total SG&A expense for the current fiscal year would have decreased $916,100 from $10,666,100 reported in fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 to $9,750,000 reported in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
Operating Loss
The operating loss for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was ($1,693,000), a $2,359,800, or 58%, improvement when compared to the operating loss for the prior fiscal year of ($4,052,800). The significant improvement in operating loss was due primarily to improved gross profit margins on both hardware product sales and monitoring services revenue. If the discontinued operations had been included in the consolidated operating results, consolidated operating loss for the year ended June 30, 2010 would have been ($8,261,600), an increase of ($4,056,700), a 96% increase when compared to the operating loss (including discontinued operations) of ($4,204,900), primarily due to the previously discussed impairment charges of $4,873,700 recorded in fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Loss From Continuing Operations
The loss from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was ($2,558,800), a $2,737,600 improvement when compared to the loss from continuing operations of ($5,296,400) reported for fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in loss from continuing operations resulted from the improvement in reported operating loss for the current fiscal year discussed above, a decrease in interest expense from $900,700 in fiscal year 2009 to $862,300 in the current fiscal year due to a fiscal year 2009 interest charge of $216,000 related to a prepayment on the ComVest term loan, and the reduction of other expense of $339,400, from ($342,900) in fiscal year 2009 to ($3,500) in the current fiscal year, due to a $345,100 charge recorded during fiscal year 2009 to reduce the estimated value of the Company’s investment in TSIN.
The operations of TSI were acquired in May of 2002 by the issuance of 2.4 million (post October 16, 2006 reverse split) shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and the assumptions of certain specific liabilities. In anticipation of the transaction, the Company had acquired approximately 8.9% of the then outstanding shares of TSIN. TSIN had stated it was its intent to liquidate enough shares of the Alanco stock to pay off all TSIN liabilities and to distribute the remaining Alanco shares to the TSIN stockholders. To reflect the 8.9% investment in TSIN subsequent to the acquisition, the Company estimated that approximately 2.25 million shares would be remaining after payment of all TSIN liabilities and that an 8.9% ownership would receive approximately 200,000 shares upon distribution. Therefore, the Company recorded 200,000 treasury shares valued at market price on the transaction date.
On January 30, 2003, a shareholder of TSIN filed suit naming as defendants the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, ATSI. The complaint set forth various allegations and sought damages arising out of the Company's acquisition of substantially all of the assets of TSIN. Eventually, the lawsuit was transferred to TSIN who became the plaintiff and continued the legal process until September 2007 when the parties to the lawsuit entered into a Settlement Agreement. From 2003 through September 2007, TSIN incurred significant legal expenses associated with the lawsuit, forcing TSIN to sell a significant portion of the Alanco shares held, thereby reducing the number of Alanco shares available to TSIN shareholders upon distribution. To reflect that reduction in investment value of the Company’s 8.9% ownership in TSIN, the Company, during fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, reduced the estimated number of treasury shares to be acquired upon distribution from 200,000 shares to 16,000 shares and recorded a charge to other expenses of $345,100.
Loss From Discontinued Operations
The loss from discontinued operations represents the operating results for the Data Storage and RFID Technology segments which have been classified as Assets Held for Sale. The Data Storage operations were sold in the third quarter ended March 31, 2010 and the RFID Technology segment was sold subsequent to June 30, 2010 in the first quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 the loss from discontinued operations was ($6,568,600) or ($1.53) per share compared to a loss from discontinued operations of ($152,100), or ($.04) per share. $4,873,700, or ($1.13) per share of the increased loss from discontinued operations related to impairment charges recorded in fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
EBITDAS
The Company believes that (loss) earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation (EBITDAS), is an important measure used by management to measure performance. EBITDAS may also be used by certain investors to compare and analyze our operating results between accounting periods. However, EBITDAS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows or other financial statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of our performance or liquidity. EBITDAS for Alanco’s fiscal year 2010 represents a loss of ($761,300) compared to a loss of ($2,482,800) for the same period of the prior year. EBITDA before stock-based compensation decreased to ($1,161,600) compared to ($3,895,300) reported in the prior period an improvement of $2,733,700 or 70%. Reconciliation between EBITDAS and Loss From Continuing Operations is presented below:

Dividends
Preferred Stock dividends expensed during fiscal year 2010 amounted to $385,300, including preferred stock dividends of $200,000 paid in-kind, $81,000 paid in Class A Common Stock, $17,200 paid by note payable, $30,700 paid in cash and $56,400 accrued but unpaid at June 30, 2010. The $385,300 in preferred dividend expense was a significant decrease compared to Preferred Stock dividends of $478,200 paid in the prior year. The decrease is due to the conversion of approximately $1.7 million of Series D into Notes Payable in November 2009 and therefore the elimination of associated dividends. See Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity for additional discussion of Preferred Stock transactions.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
Consolidated net loss attributable to Common stockholders for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was ($9,512,700), or ($2.22) per share, an increase of 60.5% when compared to a net loss attributable to Common stockholders of ($5,926,700), or ($1.49) per share, for the prior year.
Any new FASB Accounting Standards Codification updates affecting the Company are disclosed in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included under Item 8 to this Form 10-K.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,388,900 at June 30, 2010, representing a current ratio of .67 to 1. At June 30, 2009 the Company's current assets exceeded current liabilities by $5,209,500 and reflected a current ratio of 1.74 to 1. The deterioration in current ratio at June 30, 2010 versus June 30, 2009 resulted from Operating Losses during the twelve-month period, including $4,873,700 in impairment charges, and the recording of all notes payable at June 30, 2010 as current due to the January 1, 2011 maturity date of the line of credit agreement with a balance at June 30, 2010 of $5.7 million with the Anderson Trust. The Company is committed to either retire the balance or extend the due date of the loan.
Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was ($3,686,700) compared with net cash used in operating activities for the prior fiscal year of ($1,476,500). The increase of ($2,210,200) resulted primarily from an increase in accounts receivable of $190,900 during the current fiscal year (compared to a accounts receivable decrease of $487,600 in the prior period), an increase of $304,400 in inventories in fiscal year 2010 compared to a $1.9 million increase in the prior year and an approximate $1.5 million reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities compared to an increase in the prior year of $117,800. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for management's discussion of major items affecting the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 of $2,493,900, fifty-five days’ sales in receivables, reflects an increase of $190,900, or 8.3%, compared to the $2,303,000, forty days’ sales in receivables, reported at the end of fiscal year 2009. The increase in days’ sales was reported in all segments.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The Wireless Asset Management segment reported an Accounts Receivable balance at June 30, 2010 of $2,289,000, or 91.8% of the current fiscal year end consolidated balance, compared to 64.5% of the consolidated balance at the prior fiscal year end. The $2,289,000 June 30, 2010 balance for the Wireless Asset Management segment represented fifty-seven days’ sales compared to an accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2009 of $1,484,600, representing forty days’ sales. The increase in days’ sales resulted from an increase in Accounts Receivable resulting from a 32.4% increase in the fourth quarter sales as compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.
Receivables for the Data Storage segment decreased by $11,500, or 14.1%, and RFID Technology segment decreased by $601,900, or 81.7%. The Data Storage segment accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2010 of $70,000 represented twenty-six days’ sales in receivables compared to $81,500 or fourteen days, at fiscal year end 2009. The increase in days’ sales in receivables for the Data Storage segment is due to the balance due by the purchaser of the Data Storage segment. Days’ sales for the RFID Technology segment, fifty-nine days at June 30, 2010 is higher than the forty-nine days at June 30, 2009 and is primarily due to contract holdback which was received subsequent to year end.
Consolidated inventories at June 30, 2010, excluding inventory presented as “Assets Held for Sale,” amounted to $1,222,500, an increase of $132,200, or 9.8%, when compared to $1,354,700 at June 30, 2009. The Wireless Asset Management segment inventory of $1,222,500 at June 30, 2010 represents an inventory turnover of 7.1 as compared to 7.0 for the prior fiscal year end. If the RFID Technology and Data Storage segments were included in consolidated inventories, the inventory at June 30, 2010 would amount to $2,133,400, a decrease of $728,600, or 25.5% as compared to $2,862,000 as of June 30, 2009. The RFID Technology segment inventory decreased to $860,900 at June 30, 2010, a decrease of $119,100, or 12.2% when compared to $980,000 in the prior year. The decrease reflects shipments on contracts in progress during the fiscal year. The Data Storage inventory at June 30, 2010 amounted to $50,000, a decrease of $477,200, or 90.5% when compared to inventory at June 30, 2009 of $527,200. The decrease is reflective of the sale of Data Storage segment assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Net cash provided from investing activities during the current year was $24,300 compared to net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2009 of ($325,700), a decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $350,000. The current year decrease was due primarily to leasehold improvements, equipment and furniture and fixtures purchased for the new StarTrak office/production facilities in Morris Plains, NJ during the fiscal year 2009.
Net cash provided by financing activities during fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $3,649,400, an increase of $2,160,800 compared to $1,488,600 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. During fiscal year 2010, the Company raised over $3.1 million through the sale of preferred stock, an increase of $1,346,900 compared to approximate $1.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of preferred stock during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. In addition, during fiscal 2010 the Company increased its borrowings, net of repayments, by $264,400 compared to 2009 when the Company’s repayments, net of borrowing, amounted to $377,700, resulting in a total change in Net cash provided by financing activities of $642,100.
At June 30, 2010, the Company had a $5.7 million line of credit balance under a $5.7 million line of credit agreement with a private trust controlled by Mr. Donald Anderson, owner of approximately 8.6% of the Company's Class A Common Stock and a member of the Company's Board of Directors, that was last amended in November 2009. Under the amended agreement, which matures on January 1, 2011, the Company must maintain a minimum outstanding balance under the line of $2.5 million and pay interest at prime plus 3% (6.25% at June 30, 2010) on the outstanding balance up to $2 million and 12% on any balance in excess of $2 million. Under the Agreement, the lender has the unilateral right to reduce the line of credit to any amounts equal to or in excess of $1,500,000 upon ninety (90) days written notice to the Company. The credit limit under the Agreement shall be reduced to $4.7 million upon the sale by the Company of any material portion of its assets. In addition, $1,000,000 of the outstanding balance is convertible into Class A Common Stock of the Company at a price of $10.00 per share. Interest payments made under the Agreement amount to $439,200 and $220,800 in fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Anderson Trust was also paid $18,700 in interest under a separate $500,000 note payable that was transferred to the line of credit agreement during the year. The Company is committed to either retire the balance or extend the due date of the loan. See Note 7 - Line of Credit and Notes Payable to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on the line of credit agreement.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Although management cannot assure that future operations 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 that we plan on raising during the year, may provide adequate capital resources to maintain operations for the next year. If additional working capital is required during fiscal 2011 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. As a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 discussing the substantial doubt of the Company's ability 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, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, 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, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations, 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.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, anticipates additional losses in the next year, and has insufficient working capital as of June 30, 2010 to fund the anticipated losses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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”) business operations primary focus is providing 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 refrigerated or “Reefer” segment of the transportation marketplace, enabling customers to increase efficiency and reduce costs of the refrigerated supply chain.
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 include the accounts of Alanco Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. (“ATSI”), Excel/Meridian Data, Inc. (“Excel”), Fry Guy Inc. (”Fry Guy”) and StarTrak Systems, LLC (“StarTrak”) (collectively, the “Company”). The operating results for ATSI and Excel for both fiscal years 2010 and 2009 are presented as discontinued operations. All subsidiaries are Arizona corporations, except Fry Guy Inc., which is a Nevada corporation and StarTrak Systems, LLC, which is a Delaware LLC. StarTrak operations are reported as the only continuing operation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications – Certain balances have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 and the Company's prior history of uncollectible accounts. Provision for uncollectible accounts receivable amounted to approximately $40,000 and $56,000 at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company does not typically accrue interest or fees on past due amounts and the accounts receivable are unsecured.
Inventories - Inventories consist of materials and parts and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is calculated using the average-cost method for the Data Storage and Wireless Asset Management segments and first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) for the RFID Technology segment.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method, generally over a 3 to 10-year period. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Betterments are capitalized as incurred. 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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value given their short-term nature or with regards to long-term notes payable based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets – The Accounting Standards Codification requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations. It also provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of intangible assets. The ASC requires that goodwill and identifiable acquired intangible assets with indefinite useful lives shall no longer be amortized, but tested for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. The ASC also requires the amortization of identifiable assets with finite useful lives. Identifiable acquired intangible assets, which are subject to amortization, are to be tested for impairment in accordance with the ASC.
During fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company completed goodwill evaluations of Excel/Meridian Data, Inc. (an operation classified as Assets Held for Sale and sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2010), Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. (an operation classified as Assets Held for Sale during fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and sold subsequent to year end), and StarTrak Systems, LLC, the Company’s primary subsidiary and only continuing operation. The annual goodwill impairment assessment involves estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing it with the carrying amount. The Company determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to the reporting units. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, additional steps are followed to recognize a potential impairment loss. Calculating the fair value of the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumptions by management. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units based on third party independent appraisals or sales of the reporting units' assets. The Company completed its impairment tests and recorded a $4,873,700 impairment adjustment to the carrying amount of its goodwill during fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. $4.5 million was recorded against the carrying value of Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc. with the balance recorded against the carrying value of Excel/Meridian Data, Inc.
Intangible assets consist of goodwill, the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiary, and other intangible assets, including cost of licenses, patents, developed software, etc. See Impairment of Intangibles and Other Long-lived assets below for additional discussion of valuation for Intangible Assets.

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.
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.
Research & Development - The Company estimates it incurred approximately $300,000 in research and development expenditures, recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses, in both fiscal years 2010 and 2009.
The Company makes significant assumptions concerning the estimated fair value of stock based compensation, the realizability of its goodwill and other intangible assets, warranty reserves, percentage of completion method of accounting, income and expense recognition, allowances for inventory and receivables, realization of deferred tax assets and investments and the ultimate resolution of the current StarTrak litigation. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process and the significance of these items, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates in connection with these items could be further materially revised within the next year.
Impairment of Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets - The Company performs an assessment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable or for goodwill, at least on an annual basis. If the net carrying value of the asset exceeds estimated future net cash flows, then impairment is recognized to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. Impairment charges recorded during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 were $4,873,700. No impairment charge was recorded in fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

Revenue Recognition - The Company’s continuing operation sells various products and services including monitoring/data transmission products and data services focused at the refrigerated or “Reefer” segment of the transport industry. In addition, the Company provides extended warranty/maintenance contracts. The Company sells products and services through its direct sales force as well as resellers.
The Company recognizes revenue, net of anticipated returns, generally at the time products are shipped to customers, or at the time service is provided. Deferred revenue relates primarily to extended warranty/maintenance contracts and is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance or data services contract period. Revenues for products and services are generally recognized when all of the following have been met:
· Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
· Delivery, which is typically FOB shipping point or when the service has been performed;
· The customer’s fee is deemed to be fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and
· Collectability is probable.
Data services and maintenance agreements are typically stated separately in an agreement. We have classified the value of revenues pertaining to the contractual maintenance obligations that exist for the 12-month period subsequent to the balance sheet date as a current liability, and the contractual obligations with a term beyond 12 months as a non-current liability.
Our arrangements with customers and resellers do not include any rights of return or price protection nor do arrangements with resellers include any acceptance provisions. The Company provides customers with a standard one year warranty included in the price of the product. Payment terms are typically due within 30 days of invoice date for product or service.
Revenues from material long-term contracts that extend over a reporting period are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method for individual contracts, commencing when significant costs are incurred and adequate estimates are verified for substantial portions of the contract to where experience is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable accuracy. Revenues are recognized by applying the ratio of costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs. Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements would result in revisions to costs and income, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontracts, labor costs and those direct and indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is accrued.
Loss Per Share - The loss per share (“EPS”) is presented in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (“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 2010 and 2009, 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 955,800 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding at year-end with exercise prices ranging between $2.80 and $30.00. The weighted average exercise price for all outstanding options was $6.27. Stock warrants representing 409,000 Class A Common Shares were outstanding at year-end with exercise prices ranging between $1.92 and $24.00. The weighted average exercise price was $11.47. In addition, $1 million of the outstanding balance under the line of credit agreement is convertible into Class A Common Shares of the Company at a price of $10.00 per share, the $500,000 ComVest note is convertible, at June 30, 2010, at $1.92 per share and $28,000 of a note due officer is convertible at $2.24 per share. See Note 16 – Subsequent Events for discussion of payments on the ComVest note subsequent to June 30, 2010 related to the sale of TSI.
At June 30, 2010, Preferred Stock outstanding included 111,200 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 134,200 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and 735,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series B Convertible Preferred shares are convertible into Class A Common shares at a ratio of .65 shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred. The Series D Convertible Preferred shares are each convertible into 2.5 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Series E Convertible Preferred shares are each convertible into 1.5 shares of Class A Common shares. If the Series B, Series D, and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into common shares at June 30, 2010 there would have been an additional 1,510,300 Class A Common shares outstanding.

Stock Options Plans - The Company has stock-based compensation plans and effective July 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC, using the modified prospective transition method and therefore have not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 include compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted during the year, or granted prior to, but not fully vested as of July 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with 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 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;
|
·
|
Risk-free interest rate is to approximate the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and,
|
·
|
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and management’s analysis of potential forfeitures.
|
Concentrations of Credit Risks and Significant Vendors and Customers - The Company sells products and extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.
The Company utilizes various domestic suppliers for purchases of materials and parts used to manufacture its products. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, due to the advantage of volume manufacturing, two domestic suppliers accounted for approximately 30% and 26% of those purchases, while the same suppliers accounted for 27% and 21% of total purchases in the prior fiscal year. Balances owed to each vendor were approximately $211,400 and $175,300 and $753,400 and $29,500 at fiscal years ended June 30,2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company anticipates that due to the advantages of volume manufacturing, a concentration of vendor purchases may occur; however, additional suppliers are readily available at competitive pricing levels.
StarTrak has numerous end customers, many of which chose to purchase StarTrak products from two primary OEM refrigerator equipment suppliers. StarTrak is the only vendor currently providing the two OEMs with tracking and monitoring products for the refrigerated or Reefer segment of the transport industry. Additionally, the company delivered product and provided subscription services under a contract with a major customer that amounted to 26.2% and 30.0% of revenue for fiscal years ended 2010 and 2009, respectively. The customer owed StarTrak approximately $101,800 and $141,500 at fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company invests its excess cash in short term bank investments that in some cases exceeds the maximum FDIC insurance amount. At June 30, 2010, deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits amounted to $18,200.
Segment Information – 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. The Company has presented Wireless Asset Management as the only continuing operating segments of the Company for fiscal years 2010 and 2009. See Note 14 for further information related to the Company’s operating segments.

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, when the Company’s common stock began trading on a post split-adjusted basis under the interim trading symbol “ALAND” for a period of 20 days, after which the Company’s trading symbol returned to “ALAN”. (The Company again began trading under the trading symbol “ALAN” on September 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 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 of common shares outstanding were 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 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, 2010, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.
In October 2008, the EITF issued guidance which addresses the accounting when entities enter into revenue arrangements with multiple payment streams for a single deliverable or a single unit of accounting. The EITF could not reach agreement on the transition of this guidance. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on certain revenue arrangements that include software elements which changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance on improving disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for distributions to shareholders with components of stock and cash. The guidance is effective for the Company and believes the guidance will not have a material impact on its financial positiion and results of operations.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has several employee stock option and officer and director stock option plans that have been approved by the shareholders of the Company. The plans require that options be granted at a price not less than market on date of grant.

3. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The Company incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations during fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and in prior fiscal years, and anticipates additional losses and negative cash flows in early fiscal year 2011. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces regarding its ability to secure significant contracts for StarTrak products, creates an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to finance its operations and remain a going concern. Although management cannot assure that future operations will be profitable or that additional debt and/or equity capital will be raised, management believes cash balances at June 30, 2010 of approximately $400,000, additional working capital anticipated to be generated through the sale of equity and working capital generated from the Company’s operations, will provide adequate capital resources to maintain the Company’s net cash requirements for the next year. However, if additional working capital is required and not obtained through 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. The Company requires and continues to pursue additional capital for growth and strategic plan implementation. 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.
4. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
|
During fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company implemented a plan to divest the operations of its Data Storage segment and reinvest the proceeds into the Company’s Wireless Asset Management and RFID Technology segments. The Company expanded its divestiture plan during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 to include the divestiture of the RFID Technology segment. The Company entered into agreements with investment bankers to represent the Company in the sale of those assets and liabilities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company executed an agreement to sell substantially all the assets and liabilities of its Data Storage segment. In August 2010, subsequent to year end, the company executed an agreement to sell substantially all the assets of it RFID Technology segment. (See below for a discussion on the sale of the RFID Technology segment.) Accordingly, the “Assets Held for Sale” and “Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale” presented in the attached balance sheets as of June 30, 2010 consist primarily of the RFID Technology segment and as of June 30, 2009 consist of both the Data Storage and the RFID Technology segment assets and liabilities. The reclassification of those segment assets and liabilities to “Assets Held for Sale” and “Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale” does not affect the reported net loss for the periods presented.
|
The Company recorded impairment charges during FY 2010 of $4,873,700 to reflect the Company’s assessment of realizable value for both the Data Storage and RFID Technology segment’s recorded assets. $4.5 million was recorded in the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2010 to reduce the RFID Technology segment values and $373,700 was recorded in prior quarters of the FY 2010 to reduce the value of the Data Storage segment assets valued. The impairment charge increased the Loss from Discontinued Operations for the year ended June 30, 2010.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Effective February 28, 2010, the Company sold its Data Storage operation to an entity controlled by an investment banking group located in Los Angeles, California. The net book value of assets sold, net of liabilities assumed by buyer, amounted to $110,200. The Company retained the accounts receivable at February 28, 2010 and the agreement requires the buyer to collect accounts receivable balances and transmit proceeds collected to the Company in a timely manner.
A patent infringement claim was entered into by Crossroads Systems, Inc. vs. 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. However, pursuant to our discussions with legal counsel it does not appear that Crossroads Systems, Inc. has any recourse to pierce the corporate veil of Excel/Meridian. Excel/Meridian has no assets to satisfy the obligation and given these facts and circumstances Alanco believes that it has no exposure to the judgment. As such, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements in regards to this judgment outstanding at June 30, 2010.

At June 30, 2010, the Company has a $5.7 million outstanding balance, presented as Notes payable – current, under a $5.7 million Line of Credit Agreement (“Agreement”), presented in the table above as “Notes Payable – Trust”. The Agreement is with a private trust controlled by Mr. Donald Anderson, owner of approximately 8.6% of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and was entered into in June 2002, for an initial credit line of $1.3 million secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company was notified by Mr. Donald Anderson that the Anderson Trust had purchased a StarTrak issued note payable in the amount of $500,000 (presented at June 30, 2009 as Notes payable – Vendor) from TransCore Link Logistics Corp., a vendor of StarTrak who had received the note earlier in the quarter. The note accrues interest at 15% per annum and interest is paid quarterly. The note matures on December 31, 2011 and can be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The Agreement has been amended various times since June 2002 with the last modification during the quarter ended December 30, 2009 when the credit line was increased from $3.25 million to $5.7 million. The Agreement amendment converted $1,691,100 of Series D Preferred Stock held by the Lender or related entities, $96,200 of accrued interest and fees due the trust, and a separate $500,000 term loan discussed above (issued by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, StarTrak Systems LLC to a vender and now held by the trust) into the line of credit balance. Under the amended Agreement, the Company must maintain a minimum balance due of at least $2.5 million through the January 1, 2011 maturity date. Interest is accrued at the prime rate plus 3% (6.25%) for any balance up to $2 million and 12% on balances in excess of $2 million.
Under the Agreement, the lender has the unilateral right to reduce the line of credit under Agreement to any amount equal to or in excess of $1,500,000 upon ninety (90) days written notice to ATI. The credit limit under the Agreement shall be reduced to $4.7 million upon the sale by the Company of any material portion of its assets. In addition, the lender had the right to convert up to $1 million of the outstanding balance into Class A Common Stock of the Company at a price of $10.00 per share. Interest payments made under the Agreement amount to $439,200 and $220,800 in fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively. The Anderson Trust was also paid $18,700 in fiscal year 2010 and $56,300 in fiscal year 2009 in interest under a separate $500,000 note payable that was transferred to the line of credit agreement during the year.
Notes payable – Tenix represents an unsecured note assumed in the acquisition of StarTrak acquisition. The note was amended on September 16, 2009 and Tenix converted the remaining $360,000 principal balance plus all accrued interest for 125,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company with a value of $410,000. The agreement further provided for the possible issuance of additional shares (not to exceed 18,750) in the event the weighted average closing price for the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for the period from October 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009 (“Measuring Period”) was less than $3.60 per share. The weighted average closing price for the period October 1, 2009 to November 30, 2009 was in excess of the $3.60 per share and therefore, no additional shares were issued under the amended agreement.
ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Notes payable – ComVest Capital represents balance due under a term loan agreement with ComVest Capital LLC. The Company had amended its term loan agreement with ComVest Capital LLC in September 2009, reducing the principal payments required under the loan agreement for the months of September and October 2009 from $100,000 to $25,000 per month and for the months of November 2009 to January 2010 from $100,000 to $50,000. Under the amended agreement, ComVest has the right to convert any outstanding principal amount and /or accrued interest thereon into Class A Common stock at a price of $5.20 per share. In addition, ComVest had an option to (i) convert up to $100,000 of principal and interest due into Class A Common Stock at a conversion rate of $2.78 per share any time through October 31, 2009, (ii) convert an additional $100,000 of principal and interest due into Class A Common Stock at a conversion price equal to ninety (90%) of the weighted average closing price for the Common Stock on the NASDAQ capital market for the five trading days immediately before January 1, 2010, anytime between January 1, 2010 and February 28, 2010. The amendment provided for the note to bear interest at the rate of ten and one-half (10.5%) percent per annum, however, that during the continuance of any Event of Default, the interest rate hereunder shall increase to fifteen and one-half (15.5%) percent per annum.
On December 30, 2009, the Company again amended its term loan agreement with ComVest Capital LLC, modifying the principal payments required. Payments were restructured by eliminating a $50,000 payment due in January 2010 and stipulating the repayment of the remaining balance at $100,000 per month for the months February through May 2010, with the final installment due June 1, 2010. The amendment reduced the conversion price of up to $100,000 of principal and interest balance convertible anytime between January 1, 2010 and February 28, 2010 from ninety (90%) percent to eighty (80%) of the weighted average closing price for the Common Stock on the NASDAQ capital market for the five (5) trading days immediately before January 1, 2010.
The latest amendment to the ComVest term loan agreement occurred on June 1, 2010 when the principal balance of the Note was $500,000. The interest rate was increased to 12% per annum with an additional 3% penalty during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. The outstanding principal balance of the note, and/or any accrued interest thereon is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $1.92 per share. The amendment requires that the note shall be payable in (i) four (4) equal monthly installments of $100,000 each due and payable on the first day of each calendar month commencing August 1, 2010 through and including November 1, 2010, and (ii) a final installment due and payable on December 1, 2010 in an amount equal to the entire remaining Principal balance of this Note.
Notes payable – Other represents unsecured notes issued to two officers of the Company. The first note, in the amount of $100,000 and bearing interest at 12% per annum, is a 30 day demand note issued to the Chief Executive Officer for additional working capital. The second note is a 10 day convertible demand note in the amount of $28,000 issued to the Company’s CFO for additional working capital that bears interest at 8% per annum. The $28,000 note is convertible into Class A Common Stock at $2.24 per share.
In November of 2009, the Company issued a $200,000 note payable to a private investor for additional working capital. The note was unsecured, incurred interest at a rate of 10% per annum and was paid in April 2010.

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, 2010, the Company had net operating loss and capital loss carry-forwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $49,000,000. The loss carry-forwards, unless utilized, will expire from 2011 through 2030.
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 occured but the Company has not fully analyzed at this time as the deferred tax asset is fully reserved.
