CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
EXPLORATION PROJECTS
Marlborough Project
The Company and its joint venture partner, Marlborough Resources NL, has two third party joint ventures in the Marlborough Project. At Waitara, Midas Resources Ltd (Midas) is earning 51% in five tenements and at Mount Mackenzie Jeteld Pty Ltd (Jeteld) is earning 47% in two tenements.
Under the management of SmartTrans, Jeteld commenced exploration at Mount Mackenzie in September 2002 with a deep Induced Polarization (IP) survey over the western flank of Mount Mackenzie. This survey indicated the presence of a large body of sulphide-rich material (in excess of one kilometre in diameter) below the barren cover rocks with zones of high IP response and coincident low Resitivity values. These anomalies are typically good indicators of the presence of sulphides and possibly gold mineralisation.
Drilling of these anomalies only encountered low gold grades (maximum value 0.3 g/t) however several important pointers to economic mineralisation have now been identified and these have strengthened the interpretation of the presence of a very large high sulphidation system of mineralisation on the western flank of Mount Mackenzie.
This change in focus from a small epithermal gold target to a larger high-sulphidation porphyry-related target has been an important development and further drilling is planned.
Jeteld spent \$392,000 during the year and is expected to complete the first phase of the joint venture by increasing this expenditure to $$500,000$ in the $2003 - 2004$ year.
At Waitara, at the northern end of the Connors Arch, Midas has completed Stage Two of the exploration program commenced in June 2003. This program involved the completion of a 1.5km x 2km pole-dipole IP survey over the prospect that is part of the Hamilton Park porphyry system. Data was acquired on lines spaced 200m apart and this detailed "state of the art" survey will allow three-dimensional modelling of any resulting IP anomaly. Preliminary results have indicated the presence of two IP anomalies that warrant RC drilling follow-up. One of the anomalies is coincident with the southern portion of the "Twin Peaks" prospect magnetic anomaly. The second anomaly is located 1.5km west of the "Twin Peaks" prospect and is coincident with a remanently magnetised anomaly.
In addition to this survey, exploration included soil and rock chip sampling combined with detailed geological mapping at the "Vein 366", "Waitara Epithermal" and "Six Mile Creek" prospects.
Stage Three of the exploration program is scheduled to commence in early August with costeaning and approximately 1000m of RC drilling to follow up the two targets located during the ground IP survey and to test the "Six Mile Creek" prospect at depth. Costeaning is planned for the "Vein 366" and the "Waitara East" prospects.
Riversleigh Base Metals Project
Three regional geophysical targets and a galena outcrop near the "Grevillea" prospect were tested by Reverse Circulation drilling. No economic-grade lead and zinc mineralisation was found at these targets.
BHP Billiton indicated its preference to pursue other targets and withdrew from the joint venture in April 2003.
SmartTrans believes that the "Grevillea" and "Grevillea West" prospects have the potential to host a significant zinc-lead-silver deposit and is seeking a new like-minded Joint Venture partner to participate in further exploration of "Grevillea West" and the various other base metal prospects on its extensive tenement holdings in the Lawn Hill region.
VEHICLE ROUTE OPTIMISATION AND TRACKING SUBSIDIARY
Despite significant losses, the Company believes it is finally beginning to see the benefits which will flow from its investment and is developing a more comprehensive range of products for its customers.
A number of significant new customers were signed up early in the 2003 - 2004 financial year and recurring revenue is starting to build up. The Company has decided to invest in a product development program which will improve both the products available to customers and the efficiency at which they operate.
Several features, including real-time route tracking, a vehicle location and messaging system and voice and data messaging services, have already been added to the existing routeoptimisation system.
My thanks go to our team of dedicated and loyal staff who have worked extremely hard during the year.

The Company's directors are responsible for the financial report. We have conducted an independent audit of this financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the Company.
Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report, and the evaluation of accounting policies and significant accounting estimates. These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion as to whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with Accounting Standards, other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia and statutory requirements so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company's and the consolidated entity's financial position and performance as represented by the results of their operations and their cash flows.
The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.
Qualification

For the year ended 30 June 2003
NOTE 1 : STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report covers the economic entity of SmartTrans Holdings Limited and controlled entities and SmartTrans Holdings Limited as an individual parent entity. SmartTrans Holdings Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of noncurrent assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated
(a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial report incorporates the assets and Itabilities of all entities controlled by SmartTrans Holdings Ltd as at 30 June 2003 and the results of its controlled entities for the year then ended. Control exists where SmartTrans Holdings Ltd has the capacity to dominate the decision making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with SmartTrans Holdings Ltd to achieve the objectives of SmartTrans Holdings Ltd.
SmartTrans Holdings Ltd and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the economic entity. The effects of all inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity including any unrealised profits or losses have been eliminated in full.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. Outside interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.
(b) Income tax
The Company adopts the liability method of tax effect accounting, whereby the income tax expense shown in Statement of Financial Performance is based on the operating profit before tax adjusted for any permanent differences.
Timing differences which arise due to the different accounting periods in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of accounting profit and taxable income are brought to account as either a provision for deferred income tax or as a future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable.
Future income tax benefits relating to tax losses is not carried forward unless the benefit is virtually certain of realisation. Income tax on cumulative timing differences are set aside to the deferred income tax or the future income tax accounts at the rates which are expected to apply when those timing differences reverse.
(c) Recoverable amount of non-current assets
The recoverable amount of an asset is the net amount expected to be recovered through the cash inflows and outflows arising from its continued use or subsequent disposal.
Non-current assets are not revalued to an amount above their recoverable amount and where carrying values exceed this reasonable amount, assets are written down to their recoverable amount. In determining recoverable amount, the expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present value.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared taking into account the Directors' current assessment of the prospects for successful development and commercialisation of the economic entity's route optimisation system. Recoverability of the economic entity's recorded amounts for non-current assets depends on future events which involve risks and uncertainties.
These events include consumer acceptance of the route optimisation system and achievement of the economic entity's business forecasts. The Directors have carefully considered the above factors. At this time the Directors are of the view that the outlook for continued successful development and commercialisation of the economic entity's technologies is positive and that the recorded amounts of the economic entity's non-current assets are not stated in excess of their recoverable The Directors will continue to regularly monitor amounts. progress against plans and, where necessary, any required writedowns in the carrying value of these assets will be made.
The expected net cash flows included in determining recoverable amounts of non-current assets are discounted to their present values using a market-determined, risk-adjusted discount rate.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment and each class thereof, are measured on the cost basis.
Depreciable non-current assets, other than freehold land, are depreciated over their expected useful lives to the economic entity, using the straight line method. Estimates of remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets, with annual reassessments for major items.
The expected useful lives are as follows: Buildings: 40 years Plant and equipment : 5 to 15 years

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
(e) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. The expenditure relating to an area of interest is carried forward provided the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current, and provided further that either:-
(i) it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively by its sale, or
(ii) exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation, to the area are continuing.
Accumulated expenditure in relation to an abandoned area is written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward expendíture in relation to an area of interest.
(f) Joint ventures
The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of joint venture operation have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings.
(g) Intangibles
Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for a ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Both purchase goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are amortised on a straight line basis over the period of 20 years. The balances are reviewed annually and any balance representing future benefits for which the realisation is considered to be no longer probable are written off.
(h) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee entitlements payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those entitlements.
Contributions are made by the economic entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
(i) Earnings per share
Basic carnings per share is determined by dividing the operating loss after income tax attributable to members of SmartTrans Holdings Ltd by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic carnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares.
(j) Web site costs
Costs in relation to web sites controlled by a controlled entity are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred unless they relate to the acquisition of an asset, in which case they are capitalised and amortised over their period of expected benefit. Generally, costs in relation to feasibility studies during the planning phase of a web site, and ongoing cost of maintenance duting the operating phase are considered to be expenses. Costs incurred in building or enhancing a web site, to the extent that they represent probable future economic benefits controlled by the controlled entity that can be reliably measured, are capitalised as an asset and amortised over the period of the expected benefits which vary from 2 to 5 years.
(k) Cash
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash includes deposits at call with banks or financial institutions which are readily convertible to cash on band and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(l) Comparative figures
Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(m) Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Dividends received from associate and joint venture entities are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(n) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
