Alanco Behavioral Health, Inc. – In August 2016, the Company announced that it is launching a behavioral health subsidiary and has named David C.

We may not be able to finalize our business plans. The Company has implemented a plan to divest its 160 acre owned and undeveloped land and associated permits located in Whitewater, Colorado and known as Indian Mesa. As a result, the cost of the land and associated permits has been reclassified as Assets Held for Sale at June 30, 2016.

We may not be able to implement our business plans in the behavioral health market. The Company announced on August 22, 2016 that it is launching Alanco Behavioral Health, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. The business plan includes the acquisition of behavioral health businesses which requires capital that the Company may not be able to raise or may not be able to raise at terms acceptable to us.

There is no assurance that we will close on the sale of Indian Mesa. The Company has implemented a plan to divest of the Indian Mesa land but there is no assurance that the sale will close or alternatively, that we will have the capital to fund the development of the Indian Mesa land.

The loss of key personnel would have a negative impact on our business and future development objectives. Our strategy and performance is reliant on key personnel who understand the business in which we are invested and the market which the Company is expanding into. We have certain incentives to retain key personnel, but have no assurance that such personnel will remain with the Company on a long-term basis. The loss of the services of those key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial condition of our company. Irrespective of any business operations, our future success will depend on our ability to attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified technical, sales, operations and managerial personnel.

Worsening general economic conditions may negatively affect our ability to execute business plans. Previous deterioration in general economic conditions resulted in a challenging lending environment which may affect the Company's ability to sell its AES Indian Mesa site and to fund its acquisition plans in the behavioral health market.

Acts of domestic terrorism and war impacted general economic conditions and our ability to operate profitably. As a result of past terrorist acts and resulting military actions, there has been a disruption in general economic activity. There may be other consequences resulting from past acts of terrorism, and any others which may occur in the future, including civil disturbance, war, riot, epidemics, public demonstration, explosion, freight embargoes, governmental action, governmental delay, restraint or inaction, quarantine restrictions, unavailability of capital, equipment, and personnel, which we may not be able to anticipate. These terrorist acts and acts of war may continue to impact the economy, and in turn, may reduce the demand for the Company's products and services, which would harm the Company's ability to make a profit.

The Company may not have sufficient capital to meet the liquidity needs to develop assets or otherwise pursue its business plan; and there is no assurance that additional capital can be obtained through the sale of stock or additional financing. The Company incurred significant losses during fiscal year 2016 and has experienced significant losses in prior years. Management cannot assure that future operations will be profitable or that additional debt and/or equity capital will be raised. The fiscal 2017 operating plan contemplates the sale of the AES Indian Mesa site and the expansion of the Company into the behavioral health market. In order to execute acquisition plans, the Company will need additional financing which may be in the form of public or private debt or equity financing, or both. If we need to seek additional financing to meet working capital requirements, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our business, operating results, financial condition and ability to continue operations may be materially adversely affected.

The note receivable from American Citizenship Center, LLC may not be collectible. The Company has a note receivable from American Citizenship Center, LLC ("ACC"). ACC, a related party, is a company that provides self-help immigration services for undocumented youth under policies developed by the Department of Homeland Security. ACC's business plan had anticipated immigration reform would be enacted, which has not occurred. President Obama issued an "Executive Action" in November 2014; however, several states have filed a lawsuit to stop the new program. The U.S. Government appealed the lawsuit to the Supreme Court, who was not able to reach a decision. The case has been remanded back to the District Court. There is no assurance that there will be a positive outcome which could negatively impact the Company's ability to collect on the note, which has been fully reserved as of June 30, 2016.
