Sales revenue for the second quarter ended December 31, 2006 is expected to exceed $5.4 million, compared to $1.6 million reported for the same period of the prior year. The record sales results are primarily attributable to the Company's new Wireless Asset Management business segment, created by the acquisition of StarTrak Systems, LLC, ("StarTrak") on June 30, 2006. StarTrak is the world's leading supplier of wireless tracking and subscription asset management services to the refrigerated or "Reefer" segment of the transportation industry, including trailers, containers, and railcars. According to StarTrak President, Tim Slifkin, "We are excited about our continued, extraordinary growth and now have over 13,000 refrigerated assets under monthly subscription monitoring service, about double last year's total. With our current backlog and recent new product introductions, such as the RFID-based ReeferTrak(R) Scout and cellular-based ReeferTrak(R) Sentry, we expect continued strong sales growth through this fiscal year and beyond." Robert R. Kauffman, Alanco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "FY2007 is shaping up as a break-out year as we expect our first half sales growth to continue, resulting in significantly improved financial performance for the full fiscal year.
