Sales revenue for the first nine months of fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 is expected to be approximately $15 million, an increase in excess of $11 million compared to $3.8 million in comparable revenue for the prior year nine months. 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. Robert R. Kauffman, Alanco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While our record third quarter StarTrak-generated sales result was gratifying, we also experienced a high level of new business development activity in both of our wireless tracking businesses which we expect to result in continued sales growth for our fourth quarter and beyond." "StarTrak is actively engaged in pilot evaluations and field trials with approximately 25 new prospects for ReeferTrak(R) applications in refrigerated containers, intermodal trailers, and truck/trailer fleets totaling about 45,000 units, representing hardware sales of approximately $27,000,000 and additional monthly subscription data service revenues in the range of $800,000 to $900,000. StarTrak's current deployed subscriber service base totals in excess of 20,000 units." "Our TSI PRISM RFID tracking business has also experienced a high level of customer activity, including major new RFID inmate tracking Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitations from Kansas, Minnesota, and Florida, totaling approximately $15,000,000 in potential contract awards, which, if we are successful bidders, would dramatically impact near-term sales results."
