clarification to an Alanco press release issued July 17, 2008.
Greg M. Oester, President of Alanco/TSI PRISM, Inc., stated, “Our
current contractual relationship with the Weil Group requires Alanco/TSI
PRISM to provide an RF design and firm pricing commitment for
installing a TSI PRISM RFID system at the Bayamon 501 prison
facility operated by the Puerto Rico Department of Corrections (DOC) in
exchange for a design fee. The RF design and pricing commitment is
required by the Puerto Rico DOC as part of its process to determine if
it will move forward with the project. The DOC has not issued a contract

We regret any confusion our previous release may have caused.”
