Alanco Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALAN) today announced preliminary, unaudited results for its fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009. On a sales increase of 12% to $4,400,000, EBITDA loss before stock-based compensation narrowed to less than $500,000 versus $1,600,000 in the prior year fourth quarter. Improved operating results were primarily attributable to increased TSI PRISM sales and higher product gross margins at both TSI PRISM and StarTrak Systems.

Consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, are expected to total approximately $19,000,000, an increase of 42% compared to the prior year. StarTrak Systems sales increased 16% to $13,600,000. TSI PRISM sales for the fiscal year more than doubled to $5,400,000.

Robert R. Kauffman, Chairman and CEO, commented, “Although our sales increase slowed in the fourth quarter, primarily due to large project delays, we are pleased with our improved operating results during these challenging times. StarTrak Systems contributed significant operating improvements including lower cost of sales resulting from redesigned product lines, and reduced product warranty expenses, while TSI PRISM delivered a complete profitability turnaround for the fourth quarter and fiscal year. We expect continuing sales growth in the new fiscal year as the general economic environment improves and delayed major projects move forward. With a solid foundation of recent operating improvements, we look forward to further progression towards profitability in fiscal year 2010.”
