                       Alanco Receives NASDAQ Notification
                      Relative to Series D Preferred Stock

(Scottsdale, AZ - August 4, 2008) - Alanco Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALAN),
said today that it received a letter from NASDAQ on July 29, 2008, indicating
that the Company was out of compliance with Marketplace Rule 4351 and IM-4351
(the "Rules") concerning the issuance of 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred
Stock. The terms of the Series D Preferred Stock included a provision entitling
the investors to notification of any stockholders' meeting and the right to vote
with holders of its Class A Common Stock on any matters before them. The Series
D Preferred Stock allowed the investors to vote "the number of votes equal to
$10.00 divided by the NASDAQ closing market price for the Company's Class A
Common Stock on the record date for the stockholders meeting." Since the number
of votes was not limited, NASDAQ staff believed the Series D could be considered
a "super voting" security and therefore resulted in a violation of the Rules.

The Company has amended the designation of the Series D Preferred Stock stating
that its holders have seven votes per share. Accordingly, NASDAQ staff has
determined that the Company has regained compliance with the Rules and, subject
to the disclosure requirements, the matter is now closed.
