Alanco Announces Strategic Initiatives Supporting Company's Refocus on Wireless Asset Management Business
Plan Includes: Reverse Stock Split; Corporate Name Change and Consolidation; Strategic Alternatives Evaluation
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- 08/23/2010 -- Alanco Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALAN), today announced strategic initiatives to support the Company's refocus on its StarTrak wireless asset management business, following its August 18, 2010 asset divestiture program completion.
Reverse Stock Split to Retain NASDAQ Listing: The Company believes that continued NASDAQ listing is crucial to maximize long-term market valuation and trading liquidity of the Company's common stock. Therefore, Alanco will implement a shareholder-approved reverse stock split to maintain compliance with the NASDAQ minimum $1.00/share bid price listing requirement. The Company expects the stock split, at a ratio still to be determined, to go into effect in late August 2010.
Corporate Name Change: The Company plans to execute a corporate name change, subject to shareholder approval, to reflect the refocused business and recognition of the StarTrak brand as the leading wireless asset management solution for the refrigeration transportation market.
Corporate Consolidation: Alanco plans to consolidate its corporate headquarters into StarTrak's existing offices in Morris Plains, New Jersey by calendar year-end, which should result in improved communications and operational support.
Evaluation of Strategic Alternatives: The Company will solicit investment banker advice to evaluate strategic alternatives available to enhance shareholder value. The Company anticipates that a range of options will be developed as a result of this process for review with its board of directors and advisors. Although the Company is committed to maximizing shareholder value, there can be no assurance of any particular outcome or course of action.
Robert R. Kauffman, Alanco Chairman and CEO, commented, "With the successful completion of our asset divestiture strategy, we can now focus on achieving the full potential of our StarTrak business, which is on pace for projected growth of 35% to over $20 million in FY2011. Also, as the Company transitions from the holding company structure, we are implementing a management succession plan to select an outstanding candidate to eventually assume my CEO responsibilities, and guide the new Company's exciting future growth plan."
Alanco Technologies, Inc. provides wireless monitoring and asset management solutions through its StarTrak Systems subsidiary. StarTrak Systems is the dominant provider of tracking, monitoring and control services to the refrigerated or "Reefer" segment of the transportation marketplace, enabling customers to increase efficiency and reduce costs of the refrigerated supply chain.

Concierge Takes on New Partners in Vehicle Accident Recording Technology
CLEVELAND, Aug. 23, 2010 -- Concierge Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:CNCG) has entered into the business of distributing leading-edge surveillance cameras to commercial and private vehicles capable of recording automobile accidents in real time. The business will be operated through Concierge's subsidiary Wireless Village. To staff the effort and secure the exclusive distribution contract for North America, Concierge will convey approximately 49% of its ownership in Wireless Village allocated to key personnel including Tibet System Co., Ltd., (manufacturer located in South Korea), Gonzalez & Kim LLC (a San Francisco based firm specializing in strategic planning, legislation and public policy), and the principals of 3rd Eye Cam (North American distributor). Wireless Village has been installing video surveillance systems in the Cleveland, OH and Southern California areas over the past year and this new mobile recording technology is expected to greatly expand their market presence. Concierge will retain majority interest in the venture.
3rd Eye Cam has already established a market for commercial fleets, primarily the taxi industry, and has delivered product to taxi operators in major U.S. Cities including San Francisco, New York and Washington D.C. Concierge will continue to reach out to other municipalities and transportation companies to adopt these mobile recording devices. Cameras are currently available online at www.3rdeyecam.com. Wireless Village will begin doing business under the name "3rd Eye Cam" within the next several weeks.
To assist with start-up capital requirements, Gonzalez & Kim are funding a convertible debenture to Concierge in the amount of $100,000. The debenture matures in 2 years and can be converted to Concierge Series B Convertible, Voting, Preferred stock at a rate of $.20 per share. Gonzalez & Kim will also be paid a loan commitment fee of 40,000 shares of Concierge Series B Convertible, Voting, Preferred stock.
Commenting on the transaction, David Neibert, CEO of Concierge, said, "This is a significant step in the development of Concierge's new business. The market for mobile recording devices to capture accidents and other incidents is growing exponentially and we believe we now have the best product in the marketplace. The industry expertise brought by Gonzalez & Kim and 3rd Eye Cam give us an advantage over our competitors. In the coming months we will be refocusing our core business to meet the demand for this technology which will be reflected by changes to our web sites, management and operating personnel. Our goal is to continue to build shareholder value through profitable operations. I believe we have made progress towards that aim with this latest transaction."
The statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties including but not limited to risks associated with the uncertainty of our future performance, acquisitions or dispositions of interests, debt obligations, additional financing requirements, the effect of economic conditions generally and in the communications and information technology markets specifically, and uncertainties detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
