NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

Nature of Operations

Alanco Technologies, Inc. (Stock Symbol: ALAN) 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. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company formed Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”), for the purpose of obtaining property to establish a water disposal facility near Grand Junction, CO to receive produced water generated as a byproduct from oil and natural gas production in Western Colorado. The new facility started to receive produced water in August 2012.

Background information on the creation of Alanco Energy Services, Inc.

During fiscal 2012, Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, executed an agreement with TC Operating, LLC (“TCO”) of Grand Junction, CO to transfer a land lease for approximately 24 acres near Grand Junction, CO (“Deer Creek site”) and all related assets to AES with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, and termed “produced water”. The agreement included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to construct and operate the facilities. Subsequent to the TCO agreement, AES renegotiated an amended lease that became effective on May 1, 2012 and include a minimum monthly lease payment of $100 per acre ($2,400 per month) during the initial ten year term of the lease, plus approximately $.25 per barrel of produced water received at the site.

The design and construction of the Deer Creek water disposal facility required certain changes to the Goodwin Solid Waste facility (“Goodwin”) resulting in extra costs to the landlord, who also owned Goodwin. As incentive for the landlord to approve the facility design, AES agreed to limit landlord construction improvement costs related to the leased land to $200,000. Included in the $200,000 limited amount was $100,000 of landlord improvement costs to be paid by AES and reimbursed through a 50% credit against the $.25 per barrel royalty payments due landlord discussed above. AES recorded the $100,000 payment as prepaid royalties. The remaining prepaid balances at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 were $41,600 and $58,700, respectively.

TCO can also earn additional purchase price payments based upon a percentage of the net cumulative EBITDA (net of all related AES capital investments) over a period of approximately 10 years (contingent deferred payment), approximately the initial term of the lease. Under certain circumstances, the acreage covered by the lease may be expanded by up to 50 acres to allow for additional expansion at the site. See Note H - Contingent Payments for additional discussion of the contingent deferred payment.

During April 2012, AES also entered into a definitive agreement with Deer Creek Disposal, LLC ("DCD") whereby AES acquired a 160 acre site near Grand Junction, CO, for additional expansion to the proposed water treatment and disposal facility. As consideration for the land purchase, AES paid $500,000 at the April 13, 2012 closing and assumed a non-interest bearing, secured, $200,000 note due November 15, 2012, which was repaid upon maturity. AES has also agreed to potential additional quarterly earn-out payments to DCD up to a maximum total of $800,000, generally determined as 10% of quarterly revenues in excess of operating expenses up to $200,000 per quarter (contingent land payment). See Note H - Contingent Payments for additional discussion of the contingent land payment. The land, known as Indian Mesa, is currently undeveloped as the Company is in the permitting process.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

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

Related to the treatment and disposal facilities, in fiscal year 2012 AES entered into a management agreement with TCO to manage the project for a monthly management fee of $10,000 initially and $20,000 after final permits for the Deer Creek operation were obtained in May 2012. The management agreement expired in January 2013 and is continuing on a month to month basis. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company paid TCO $120,000 under the management agreement. TCO also earned an additional variable fee of approximately $4,000 for December 2014 revenues which was paid in January 2015.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote

disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements. Such necessary adjustments consist of normal recurring items and the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s June 30, 2014 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

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

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities – The estimated fair value for assets and liabilities are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant information. The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) prioritizes inputs used in measuring fair value into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets, Level 2 – observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of Level 1, 2 and 3 categories as of the date of the event or change in circumstances occurs. The carrying amounts of receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short-term nature or their effective interest rates, which represent Level 3 input levels.

The following are the classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

	$	-	$	-	$	1,609,100	$	1,609,100

Fair Value of Asset Retirement Obligation – The Deer Creek asset retirement obligation is the estimated cost to close the Deer Creek facility under terms of the lease, meeting environmental and State of Colorado regulatory requirements. The estimate is determined at discrete points in time based upon significant unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that is significant to the fair value of the liability, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Management’s estimate of the asset retirement obligation is based upon a cost estimate developed by a consultant knowledgeable of government closure requirements and costs incurred at similar water disposal facility operations. The process used was to identify each activity in the closure process, obtaining vendor estimated costs, in current dollars, to perform the closure activity and accumulating the various vendor estimates to determine the asset retirement obligation. A present value discount has not been taken as the estimated closure costs, excluding regulatory changes and inflation adjustments, are anticipated to remain fairly consistent over the operational life of the facility. The lack of an active market to validate the estimated asset retirement obligation results in the fair value of the asset retirement obligation to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. ASC Topic 410-20: Asset Retirement Obligations requires the Company to review the asset retirement obligation on a recurring basis and record changes in the period incurred.

Fair Value of Contingent Payments – The contingent land payment and contingent purchase price liabilities are also determined at discrete points in time based upon unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that is significant to the fair value of the liability, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. In calculating the estimate of fair value for both of the contingent payments, management completed an estimate of the present value of each identified contingent liability based upon projected income, cash flows and capital expenditures for the Deer Creek facility developed under plans currently approved by the Company’s board of directors. Different assumptions relative to the expansion or alternative uses of the Deer Creek and Indian Mesa facilities could result in significantly different valuations. The projected payments have been discounted at a rate of 3% per annum to determine net present value. The lack of an active market to validate the estimated contingent land and purchase price liabilities results in the fair value of the contingent land and purchase price liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement requires the Company to review the contingent land and purchase price liabilities on a recurring basis and record changes in the period incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within that reporting period and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its financial position and results of operations.

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

In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding derivatives and hedging in a hybrid financial instrument. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the guidance, which had no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding business combinations and thresholds under which an acquired entity can reflect the acquirer’s accounting and reporting basis in its separate financial statements. The guidance is effective November 18, 2014 and the Company has adopted the guidance, which had no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended December 31, 2014, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

Note B – Stock-Based Compensation

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

The Company estimates fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Assumptions used to estimate compensation expense are determined as follows:

·	Expected term is determined under the simplified method using an average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award as appropriate statistical data required to properly estimate the expected term was not available;

·	Expected volatility of award grants made under the Company’s plans is estimated using the historical daily changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the award and contemplation of future activity;

·	Risk-free interest rate is the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and,

·	Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and management’s analysis of potential future forfeitures.

The Company has several employee stock option and officer and director stock option plans that have been approved by the shareholders of the Company. The plans require that options be granted at a price not less than market on the date of grant and are more fully discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity during the first six months of fiscal 2015:

Note D – Note Receivable

Note receivable of $373,000 and $409,000 at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 respectively, represents a note due from American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”), a related party. Under modifications made during October 2014, ACC and the Company amended the loan agreement to increase the loan amount to $388,000. The $373,000 balance at December 31, 2014 represents the outstanding amount drawn on the $388,000 loan amount which includes $9,000 of accounting fees for July through September 2014 and a $10,000 loan fee. In addition, the minimum monthly payments from September through December 2014 were reduced to $5,000. The minimum payment required starting in January 2015 returns to $25,000 and the entire loan balance is payable in full by the maturity date of August 31, 2015.

In January 2015, ACC and the Company again modified the loan agreement by revising the payment terms to require minimum monthly payments starting in January 2015 to the greater of $5,000 or ten percent (10%) of the gross monthly revenue for such month. Based on the history of the note modifications, the recent modification hereto, and ACC’s history of an ability to make a certain level of payments, the Company has classified $60,000 of the note as current and $313,000 of the note as long-term. ACC is currently in compliance with all terms of the January 2015 amendment.

In early September 2014, President Obama made a commitment that he would act on immigration reform via “Executive Action” after the United States mid-term elections that occurred during early November 2014. In November 2014, the President made an announcement that expanded the previously established (2012) deferred action plan. ACC’s current business plan is designed to capitalize on the significant opportunity due to the expanded deferred action plan. No provision for collectability has been recorded as of December 31, 2014 as current ACC financial projections indicate the note will be paid under the amended terms by the maturity date of August 31, 2015.

Note E – Land, Property and Equipment

Land, Property and Equipment at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 consist of the following:

Note F – Earnings Per Share

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

Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are options, warrants, convertible debt, and preferred stock that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than the prevailing market price. Dilutive securities are not included in the weighted average number of shares when inclusion would increase the earnings per share or decrease the loss per share. For the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no dilutive securities included in the loss per share calculation as the effect would be antidilutive. Considering all holders’ rights, total common stock equivalents issuable under these potentially dilutive securities are approximately 1,204,000 and 1,076,600 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note G – Equity

During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued each of the Company’s three independent members of the Board of Directors 25,000 stock grants for a total of 75,000 shares valued at $31,500. The Company recorded $16,500 of expense related to the stock grants during the current fiscal year and had accrued $15,000 at June 30, 2014. The value of stock-based compensation (stock options) recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $13,900.

During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a comprehensive income adjustment in the amount of ($121,200), reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

In December 2011, the Company announced that its board of directors had authorized a stock repurchase program whereby the Company could repurchase up to 2 million shares of its outstanding common stock over the next 12 months. The stock repurchase program was extended, under the same limitation, through December 31, 2013. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company had repurchases under the program for a total of 56,800 shares at a cost of approximately $26,100, or $.46 per share. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the board of directors renewed the stock repurchase program, extending it through December 31, 2014 and establishing an aggregate future amount of shares that may be purchased under the program to 2 million shares. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the board of directors again renewed the stock purchase program, extending it through December 31, 2015. For the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company had repurchases under the program for a total of 20,000 shares at a cost of approximately $8,100, or $0.41 per share.

The Company has authorized 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of which 5,000,000 shares have been allocated to Series A, 500,000 have been allocated to Series B, 400,000 have been allocated to Series C Junior Participating, 500,000 have been allocated to Series D, and 750,000 have been allocated to Series E. At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, no Preferred Stock of any series was issued or outstanding.

Note H - Contingent Payments

Contingent payments at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 relate to AES asset purchase transactions completed in conjunction with the construction of water disposal facilities for the treatment and disposal of produced water generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. Details of the contingent payments are as follows:

		December 31,		June 30,
		2014		2014
Contingent land payment	$	649,800	$	660,200
Contingent purchase price		535,600		528,100
		1,185,400		1,188,300
Less current portion		(50,000)		(50,000)
Contingent payments, long-term	$	1,135,400	$	1,138,300

Contingent land payment of $649,800 at December 31, 2014 represents the net present value of $800,000 of estimated contingent land payments due under an agreement whereby Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES”) acquired 160 acres of land known as Indian Mesa. The payment is based upon 10% of any quarterly income (defined as gross revenues less operating expenses up to a maximum of $200,000 per quarter and $800,000 annually) for activity at both the Deer Creek and the Indian Mesa locations. The payments were projected considering current operating plans as approved by the Alanco Board of Directors, with the payments discounted at a rate of 3% per annum. Accretion expense is being imputed at 3% per annum, increasing the fair value of the contingent land payment during the six months ended December 31, 2014 by $9,300. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, approximately $19,800 was earned and payable under the contingency formula.

Contingent purchase price of $535,600 at December 31, 2014 represents the net present value of projected payments to be made to TC Operating, LLC (“TCO”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement under which TC Operating transferred a land lease for approximately 24 acres of land known as Deer Creek and all related tangible and intangible assets. Per the agreement, the contingent payments are determined as 28% of the Cumulative EBITDA in excess of all of AES’s capital investment for the ten (10) year period commencing on January 1, 2014. AES’s Capital investment shall mean the aggregate amount incurred by AES in acquiring the Assets, the Indian Mesa Facility, and or improving either the Deer Creek Facility or the Indian Mesa Facility. Payments of said Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable quarterly. The projected payments consider current operating plans as approved by the Alanco Board of Directors, with payments discounted at a rate of 3% per annum to determine net present value. Accretion expense is being imputed at 3% per annum, increasing the fair value of the contingent land payment during the six months ended December 31, 2014 by $7,500.

Note I – Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company has recognized estimated asset retirement obligations (closure cost) of $423,700 to remove leasehold improvements, remediate any pollution issues and return the Deer Creek water disposal property to its natural state at the conclusion of the Company’s lease. The closure process is a requirement of both the Deer Creek lease and the State of Colorado, a permitting authority for such facilities. The closure cost estimate, in current dollars, was completed by an approved independent consultant experienced in estimating closure costs for water disposal operations and the estimated amount was approved by the State of Colorado. A present value discount has not been taken as the estimated closure costs, excluding regulatory changes and inflation adjustments, are anticipated to remain fairly consistent over the operational life of the facility.

The Company reviews the asset retirement obligation quarterly and performs a formal annual assessment of its estimates to determine if an adjustment to the value of the asset retirement obligation is required.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

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

The laws of the State of Colorado require companies to meet environmental and asset retirement obligations by selecting an approved payment method. The Company has elected to meet its obligation by making quarterly payments of approximately $4,700 into a trust that over the expected lease period will build liquid assets to meet the asset retirement obligation. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company made the required quarterly payments. The balances in the trust account for the asset retirement obligation as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 were $58,000 and $48,700, respectively.

Note J – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant and counterclaimant in litigation involving its subsidiary, TSI Dissolution Corp. (formerly known as Alanco/TSI Prism Inc. (“TSI”)) and the purchaser of TSI’s assets, Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. Black Creek filed a complaint in the Maricopa County Superior Court against TSI and the Company, being Civil Case NO. CV2011-014175, claiming various offsets from the purchase price, primarily concerning inventory adjustments, and TSI counterclaimed for monies due from Black Creek under the purchase agreement. Following a trial during fiscal 2014, the court awarded a net judgment in favor of Black Creek in the amount of $16,800, plus attorney’s fees and accrued interest, resulting in a total judgment in the amount of $128,300. At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an accrued liability of $128,300 for the judgment. The Company believes the net judgment amount fails to address, among other matters, inventory reserves established for the specific items of inventory which were the subject of Black Creek’s concerns, which if properly addressed would result in a net judgment in favor of the Company, with an attendant award of attorney’s fees in favor of the Company. The Company has filed its Appeal and intends to vigorously pursue the appeal of the judgment. As required under the appeal process, the Company posted a bond with the court for $128,300, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. Appeals typically take four to six months and the Company estimates a ruling will follow in another three to four months.

The Company may from time to time be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2014, there was no such litigation pending deemed material by the Company.

Note K – Related Party Transactions

At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 the Company held a note due from American Citizenship Center, LLC (“ACC”), a related party, with balances of $373,000 and $409,000, respectively. Refer to Note D – Note Receivable for further discussion. During the six months ended December 31, 2014 the Company billed ACC a total of approximately $19,400, which includes amounts for legal services related to note modifications and interest on the note. At December 31, 2014, the Company had unpaid receivables from ACC in the amount of $3,000 which represents one quarter of interest. All required payments have been subsequently paid.

In November 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change to the independent director compensation. Effective January 1, 2015, the three independent directors will be paid cash compensation of $1,000 each per month.

Note L – Subsequent Events

In January 2015, ACC and the Company modified the loan agreement by revising the payment terms to require minimum monthly payments starting in January 2015 to the greater of $5,000 or ten percent (10%) of the gross monthly revenue for such month. Based on the history of the note modifications, the recent modification hereto, and ACC’s history of an ability to make a certain level of payments, the Company has classified $60,000 of the note as current and $313,000 of the note as long-term. ACC is currently in compliance with all terms of the January 2015 amendment.

Note M - Liquidity

During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported a net loss of ($354,900) and for fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported a net loss of ($106,200). For the next year, the Company expects to meet its working capital and other cash requirements with its current operations, cash reserves and sales of marketable securities as required. However, if for any reason, the Company does require additional working capital to complete its business plan, there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts to acquire the required additional working capital will be successful. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations, identify profitable acquisition/merger candidates and/or successfully invest its capital.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company formed AES, a wholly owned subsidiary and constructed the Deer Creek water treatment and disposal facility located near Grand Junction, CO. The facility started to receive produced water in August 2012. During fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company continued the permitting process for the 160 acre site known as Indian Mesa for water treatment and disposal and a landfill/land farm operation.

Current Status of Deer Creek facility

The Deer Creek produced water disposal facility, located near Grand Junction, CO, became operational in August 2012 with estimated annual evaporative capacity of approximately 400,000 barrels, providing Piceance Basin producers with significant transportation cost savings compared to alternative water disposal sites. In November 2013, the facility received approval from the Mesa County Board of Commissioners allowing 24 hours a day, seven days per week operations for one year. The Company reapplied for a two-year extension which was unanimously approved by the Mesa County commissioners in November 2014. The facility had previously been restricted to daylight hours Monday through Saturday.

Current Status of Indian Mesa facility

The permitting process for the Indian Mesa facility, located approximately 4 miles North West of the Deer Creek site, has been in process for a number of years with an initial County Use Permit issued in 2010 covering, among other things, evaporation ponds and land farming. In December 2013, in response to an AES request to amend its County User Permit (“CUP”), the Mesa County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a new CUP for AES to construct and operate on its 160 acre Indian Mesa site evaporation ponds and/or landfill for disposal of solid oil and gas (O&G) waste, such as drill cuttings, tank bottoms, sock filters, etc. The approval also allows for solid and produced water disposal of Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) and Technically Enhanced Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials (TENORM). In June 2014 AES received final construction approval from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for twelve produced water disposal ponds, which if developed as planned, would be located on the north 80 acres of the Indian Mesa site.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

The capacity of Indian Mesa is dependent on its type of development, which the Company is still planning. If 80 acres is developed as 12 ponds as discussed above, the annual capacity at Indian Mesa for produced water, not considering enhanced evaporation, would be approximately 1 million barrels. If the remaining 80 acres were developed into landfills, the capacity would be approximately 3 million cubic yards. If the entire 160 acres were developed into landfill, the solid waste capacity would increase to approximately 8 million cubic yards. Complete build-out of its Indian Mesa facility, including both landfill and evaporative ponds, would result in a unique Western Colorado “one stop shop” for all O&G waste products, including NORM and TENORM contaminated waste streams.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of 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 assumptions concerning classification and valuation of investments, the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation, realization of deferred tax assets, collectability of accounts and note receivables, estimated useful lives and carrying value of fixed assets, the recorded values of accruals and contingencies including the estimated fair values of the Company’s asset retirement obligation and the contingent land and purchase price liabilities, and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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 materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The SEC suggests that all registrants discuss their most “critical accounting policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis. A critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has identified the critical accounting policies as those accounting policies that affect its more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s Audit Committee has reviewed and approved the critical accounting policies identified. These policies include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, realization of note receivable, stock-based compensation, the recorded values of accruals and fair values of assets and liabilities including the Company’s contingent liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company uses four factors to determine the appropriate timing of revenue recognition. Three of these factors are generally factual considerations that are not subject to material estimates (evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been performed and the fee is determinable). The fourth factor includes judgment regarding the collectability of the sales price. The Company’s written arrangement with customers establishes payment terms and the Company only enters into arrangements when it has reasonable assurance that it will receive payment from the customer. The assessment of a customer’s credit-worthiness is reliant on management’s judgment on factors such as credit references and market reputation. If any sales are made that become uncollectible, the Company establishes a reserve for the uncollectible amount.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Realization of Note Receivable

The Company has reviewed ACC’s projected revenues, related assumptions and cash flows when evaluating the collectability of the note receivable and determining the need for any reserve. These assumptions are further influenced by current political activities.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has stock-based compensation plans and the associated compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following inputs: the plain-vanilla method for expected term based on the contractual term and vesting period of the award, the expected volatility of daily changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock, the assumed risk-free interest rate and an assumption of future forfeitures based on historical cancellations and management’s analysis of potential forfeitures.

Recorded Values of Accruals

The Company makes accruals for contingent liabilities based on reasonable estimates for known or anticipated obligations. Estimates may be based on known inputs, experience with similar situations, or anticipated outcomes. Estimates for the Company’s asset retirement obligation and contingent payments are determined at discrete points in time based upon unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that is significant to the fair value of the liability, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Estimates for the asset retirement obligation were developed by a consultant knowledgeable about the State of Colorado regulatory requirements and use vendor estimates for the various activities required for the closure of the Deer Creek facility. Estimates for the contingent payments were calculated based on projected income, cash flows and capital expenditures for the Deer Creek and Indian Mesa facilities under current plans.

Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

The Company estimates fair values for assets and liabilities at certain points in time based on information known at that time using the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and recognizes transfers as they occur. The ASC uses a three level hierarchy: Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets, Level 2 – observable inputs, other than quoted prices included with Level 1, and Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that are significant to the fair value. The asset retirement obligation and contingent payments discussed above use Level 3 inputs.

Results of Operations

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

(A)	Three months ended December 31, 2014 versus three months ended December 31, 2013

Net Revenues

Net revenues reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 were $211,100 versus $69,600 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $141,500. Revenues are comprised of produced water delivery fees and sales of reclaimed oil. The significant improvement for the comparative three month period is reflective of the Company’s development of customer relationships in the region. Water deliveries are impacted by the prices of oil and gas which drives drilling activities in the region, the restriction on drilling during winter months which negatively impact water deliveries, and alternative uses of produced water, such as for fracking fluid that some current and potential customers are utilizing. As additional customers are expected to recognize the savings of using a local water disposal company and the Company expands its customer base, we expect revenues to continue to improve.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $185,100 and $86,700, respectively, an increase of $98,400. Cost of revenues consists of direct labor costs, equipment costs (including depreciation), land lease costs and other operating costs. The increase is primarily due to higher variable costs as a result of increased revenues and includes labor costs, fees tied to water volumes, fuel costs, and pond maintenance costs. Fixed costs such as depreciation, amortization, accretion and lease costs represent approximately 32% and 60% of the cost of revenues for three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were 12.3% and (24.5%), respectively. While the cost of revenues significantly increased in the current quarter, there was a corresponding increase in revenue resulting in gross profit in the current quarter versus a gross loss in the same quarter of the prior year as the Company had not reached the break-even point.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 (consisting of corporate expenses, AES selling, general and administrative expense, amortization of stock-based compensation and impairment charge) was $270,800, an increase of $6,700, or 2.5%, compared to $264,100 reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Corporate expenses for the current quarter was $30,800 and represented a decrease of $47,500, or 60.7%, compared to corporate expenses of $78,300 reported for the comparable quarter ended December 31, 2013. The decrease resulted primarily from reduced payroll and associated employee benefits costs, offset by the decrease in allocation of corporate service cost to AES from $118,750 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 to $112,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. AES expense of $194,600 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to $185,800 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $8,800, or 4.7%, which includes an increase in management fees paid to TCO due to the incentive component under the management agreement offset by decreased corporate allocations. The AES operating expenses relate to the Deer Creek Water Disposal facility that initiated operation during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and represented general overhead associated with the operation. Amortization of stock-based compensation was $45,400 and zero for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The amount for the current quarter reflects the expense for stock options and stock grants issued during the current quarter to the Company’s officers and directors.

Operating Loss

Operating Loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was ($244,800), a decrease of $36,400, or 12.9%, compared to an Operating Loss of ($281,200) reported for the same quarter of the prior year. The decreased operating loss resulted from a decrease to gross profit (loss) offset by a small increase to selling, general and administrative expenses during the current quarter as compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

Other Income

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $11,600, an improvement of $3,300, or 39.8%, when compared to interest income of $8,300 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The increase in interest income related primarily to an increase in the average outstanding balance of the ACC note receivable and the increased interest rate.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded net gains on the sale of marketable securities of $56,400, resulting from the sale of approximately 40,000 shares of its ORBCOMM Common Stock at an average selling price of $6.58 per share, compared to net gains on sale of marketable securities in the comparable quarter of the prior year of $403,900, resulting from the sale of 140,713 shares of ORBCOMM Common Stock at an average selling price of $5.78.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 amounted to ($176,800), or ($.04) per share, compared to net income of $132,100, or $.03 per share, in the comparable quarter of the prior year for reasons previously discussed.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive Loss for the current quarter of ($200,300) represents the unrealized change in market value of the Company’s Marketable Securities held at December 31, 2014 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Comprehensive income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 consisted of the net value of two items: 1) the quarter ending market value reclassification adjustment for gain included in Net Income (Loss) of $56,400 and 2) the net unrealized gain on marketable securities sold during the period of $32,900. At December 31, 2014 the Company had sold all shares of ORBCOMM, Inc. Common Stock.

(B)	Six months ended December 31, 2014 versus six months ended December 31, 2013

Net Revenues

Net revenues reported for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $443,500 compared to $84,400 for December 31, 2013, an increase of $359,100. Revenues are comprised of produced water delivery fees and sales of reclaimed oil. The significant improvement for the comparative six month period is reflective of the Company’s development of customer relationships in the region. Water deliveries are impacted by the prices of oil and gas which drives drilling activities in the region, the restriction on drilling during winter months which negatively impacts water deliveries, and alternative uses of produced water, such as for fracking fluid that some current and potential customers are utilizing. As additional customers are expected to recognize the savings of using a local water disposal company and the Company expands its customer base, we expect revenues to continue to improve.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $378,500 as compared to $155,500 for the same six month period of the prior year, an increase of $223,000, or 143.4% when comparing the two periods. Cost of revenues consists of direct labor costs, equipment costs (including depreciation), land lease costs and other operating costs. The increase is primarily due to higher variable costs as a result of increased revenues and includes labor costs, fees tied to water volumes, fuel costs, and pond maintenance costs. Fixed costs such as depreciation, amortization, accretion and lease costs represent approximately 31% and 66% of the cost of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The gross margin for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were 14.7% and (84.3%), respectively. The improvement in gross margin when comparing the periods is primarily due to the increased revenues in the current six month period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2014 (consisting of corporate expenses, AES selling, general and administrative expense, amortization of stock-based compensation and impairment charge) was $546,400, a decrease of $27,800, or 4.9%, compared to $574,200 reported for the six months ended December 31, 2013. Corporate expenses for the six month period was $106,900 and represented a decrease of $48,600, or 31.3%, compared to corporate expenses of $155,500 reported for the comparable six months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease resulted primarily from reduced payroll and associated employee benefits costs, decreased allocation of corporate service cost to AES from $268,750 for the six months ended December 31, 2013 to $225,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. AES operating expense was $394,100 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $418,700 for the same six month period of the prior year, a decrease of $24,600, or 5.9%. The primary reason for the decrease is the decreased allocation of corporate service cost to AES as described above. Amortization of stock-based compensation was $45,400 and zero for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The amount for the current period reflects the expense for stock options and stock grants issued during the current quarter to the Company’s officers and directors.

Operating Loss

Operating Loss for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was ($481,400), a decrease of $163,900, or 25.4%, compared to an Operating Loss of ($645,300) reported for the same period of the prior year.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Other Income and Expense

Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $23,100, an improvement of $7,000, or 43.5%, when compared to interest income of $16,100 for the same period ended December 31, 2013. The increase in interest income related primarily to an increase in the average outstanding balance of the ACC note receivable.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive loss for the six month period ended December 31, 2014 of $476,100 represents the unrealized change in market value of the Company’s Marketable Securities held compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Comprehensive income for the six months ended December 31, 2014 consisted of the net value of two items: 1) the six months ending market value reclassification adjustment for gain included in Net Income (Loss) of $103,200 and 2) the net unrealized loss on marketable securities sold during the period of $18,000. At December 31, 2014 the Company had sold all shares of ORBCOMM, Inc. Common Stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2014, current assets exceeded current liabilities by $2,066,400 reflecting a current ratio of 7.3 to 1. The reduction in net current assets at December 31, 2014 versus June 30, 2014 was due primarily to the sale of Marketable Securities the Company held in ORBCOMM, Inc.

Accounts receivable of $92,400 represents the outstanding billings at December 31, 2014 of the AES water disposal operation that initiated operations during August 2012. Other receivables totaling $3,000 represents billings to ACC for interest of $3,000.

Cash provided by investing activities for the six month period ended December 31, 2014 was $415,800, a decrease of $816,200, or 66.3% compared to the $1,232,000 provided for the same period of the prior year.

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

During fiscal 2015, the Company expects to meet its working capital and other cash requirements with its current operations, cash reserves and sales of marketable securities as required. However, the Company may require additional working capital for future operations. While the Company believes that it will succeed in attracting additional required capital and will generate capital from future operations, there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will be successful. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations, identify profitable acquisition/merger candidates and/or successfully invest its capital.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings - The Company is a defendant and counterclaimant in litigation involving its subsidiary, TSI Dissolution Corp. (formerly known as Alanco/TSI Prism Inc. (“TSI”)) and the purchaser of TSI’s assets, Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. Black Creek filed a complaint in the Maricopa County Superior Court against TSI and the Company, being Civil Case NO. CV2011-014175, claiming various offsets from the purchase price, primarily concerning inventory adjustments, and TSI counterclaimed for monies due from Black Creek under the purchase agreement. Following a trial during fiscal 2014, the court awarded a net judgment in favor of Black Creek in the amount of $16,800, plus attorney’s fees and accrued interest, resulting in a total judgment in the amount of $128,300. At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an accrued liability of $128,300 for the judgment. The Company believes the net judgment amount fails to address, among other matters, inventory reserves established for the specific items of inventory which were the subject of Black Creek’s concerns, which if properly addressed would result in a net judgment in favor of the Company, with an attendant award of attorney’s fees in favor of the Company. The Company has filed its Appeal and intends to vigorously pursue the appeal of the judgment. As required under the appeal process, the Company posted a bond with the court for $128,300, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. Appeals typically take four to six months and the Company estimates a ruling will follow in another three to four months.

The Company may from time to time be involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2014, there was no such litigation pending deemed material by the Company.
