CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
EXPLORATION PROJECTS
South Connors Arch Project (109,000 hectares)
This project covers thirteen tenements in the South Connors Arch Province which is prospective for porphyrystyle copper gold deposits and epithermal gold deposits. The Company holds 60% equity in eight tenements in the "Connors Arch Joint Venture" and 29% equity in five other tenements in the "Waitara Joint Venture".
SmartTrans conducted a ground magnetics survey and a drilling program of widely spaced deep holes at the "Instinct" Prospect near Mount Mackenzie. Gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc mineralisation was intersected in highly altered breccias and intrusive rocks. This is interpreted to be in the periphery of a large porphyry system situated below a thick mantle of younger nonmineralised volcanic rocks. In other locations, these systems are known to yield world-class deposits of copper and gold. Further work, including additional geophysical surveys and deep drilling, is planned for this project.
At Waitara, Midas Resources completed a review of all prospects and identified two important targets. One is a strong copper-molybdenum anomaly covering an area of eight to ten square kilometres and the second is an epithermal gold prospect with similarities to the Vera-Nancy deposit in North Queensland. Midas intends to carry out further evaluation of these prospects. Midas withdrew from the joint venture in respect of EPMs 10131, 10133 and 12355. Equity in these tenements has reverted to SmartTrans (60%) and AOM (40%).
Riversleigh Base Metals Project (78,000 hectares)
This project covers the "Grevillea" prospect and various other zinc-lead-silver prospects in the Carpentaria Zinc Province in Northern Queensland. These prospects have the potential to host a significant zinc-lead-silver deposit and the Company's consultant, Flagstaff Geoconsultants, advised that there is an interesting similarity in size and mineralogy between the Grevillea West deep conductor and the mineralised Macarthur River sub-basin.
SmartTrans has accepted an offer from Zinifex Limited to form a joint venture covering all of the Company's tenements at Riversleigh.
Under the terms of the proposed agreement, Zinifex Limited can earn 70% equity in the tenements by expenditure of at least \$10 million over 7.5 years to the completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study.
Zinifex and SmartTrans are currently in the process of finalising the formal Joint Venture Agreement and neither party is bound until that agreement is signed.
CONSIGNMENT, ROUTE AND DELIVERY OPTIMISATION, PROOF OF DELIVERY AND MOBILE DATA SUBSIDIARY (95% equity)
SmartTrans Limited marginally increased its revenue over the previous year and, whilst it incurred a significant loss, the business continues to expand.
Three major clients, Sigma Pharmaceuticals, ISS Cleaning, and John Fairfax Holdings, signed contracts with SmartTrans during the year and several current clients have indicated their intention to expand their existing installations to cover other sites and additional SmartTrans products and services.
The Company has integrated its consignment, route and delivery optimisation, proof-of-delivery and mobile data products into a new additional single product, "SmartTrans $\sim$ Solution $\sim$ This provides an attractive opportunity for customers to improve their profitability and enhance customer benefits.
Details of these systems and the benefits they provide to our customers can be seen on the Company's website www.smarttrans.com.au.
On behalf of Directors, my thanks go to our team of staff who have worked extremely hard during the year.

Significant Events after the Balance Date
There has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of the financial year that has or may significantly affect the operations, results or state of affairs of the economic entity in future financial years.
Environmental Regulation
The Company is committed to environmental care and aims to carry out its activities in an environmentally-responsible and scientifically-sound way. In performing exploration activities, some disturbance of the land in the creation of tracks, drill rig pads, sumps and the clearing of vegetation occurs. These activities have been managed in a way that reduces environmental impact to a practical minimum. Rehabilitation of any land disturbance commences as soon as practicable after exploration activity in an area has been completed.
The Company has, as far as the directors are aware, complied with all statutory requirements relating to its exploration activities.

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
- a) all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Board of Directors to ensure they do not impact on the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
- none of the services undermines the general principles b). relating to auditor independence as set out in Professional Statement F1.
Directors' and Executives' Emoluments
Directors' and Executives' emoluments are disclosed in Note 15.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
SMARTTRANS HOLDINGS LIMITED
Scope
The financial report, remuneration disclosures and directors' responsibility
The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, accompanying notes to the financial statements and the directors' declaration for both SmartTrans Holdings Limited (the company) and SmartTrans Holdings Limited and its controlled entities (the consolidated entity), for the year ended 30 June 2006. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during that year.
The company has disclosed information about the remuneration of key management personnel (remuneration disclosures) as required by Accounting Standards AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (AASB 124), under the heading "remuneration report" on page 3 of the directors' report, as permitted by the Corporations Regulations 2001.
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report. The directors are also responsible for the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors' report.
Audit approach
We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement and the remuneration disclosures comply with AASB 124 and the Corporations Regulations 2001. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.
We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's and the consolidated entity's financial position and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations, changes in equity and cash flows. We also performed procedures to assess whether the remuneration disclosures comply with AASB 124 and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:
- examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report and remuneration disclosures; and
- assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.
While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements cover 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 statements of Smarttrans Holdings Limited and controlled entities, and SmartTrans Holdings Limited as an individual parent entity comply with all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) in their entirety.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of Preparation
First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards
SmartTrans Holdings Limited and controlled entities, and SmartTrans Holdings Limited as an individual parent entity have prepared financial statements in accordance with the Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) from 1 July 2005. Except for the reclassification of the route optimisation and mobile data systems technology, amounting to \$372,180 as at 30 June 2005, from the property, plant and equipment to intangibles, the adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards has no material impact on the Income Statements of the Company and controlled entities.
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs except for financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity SmartTrans Holdings Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 8 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year end.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
Minority equity 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 charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
For the year ended 30 June 2006 (Cont)
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
(c) Recoverable amount of non-current assets
The carrying values of non current assets are recorded at their recoverable amounts, which are determined by reference to the present value of future net eash flows expected to be generated by those assets.
The present value of future net cash flows expected to be generated by the parent entity's investment in SmartTrans Ltd cannot be assessed with certainty as it is dependent upon a continuation of the successful development and commercialisation of the route optimisation and mobile data systems technology. Although the directors are budgeting for the business to be profitable from and including the year ending 30 June 2007, on the basis of conservatism and prudence, the directors have elected to raise provisions against the parent entity's investment in and loan to SmartTrans Ltd until the budgeted profit has been achieved.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Property
Freehold land and buildings are carried at cost and the property was sold during the year.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The useful lives for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of Fixed Asset | Useful lives |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 40 years |
| Plant and equipment | $3$ to $5$ years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement.
For the year ended 30 June 2006 (Cont)
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:-
- it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through successful development and exploitation of the area of $(i)$ interest, or alternatively by its sale, or
- exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable $(ii)$ 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 expenditure in relation to an area of interest.
Site restoration is completed after the end of each exploration phase and the restoration costs are included as part of the explorations costs.
(f) Financial instruments
Recognition
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.
Held- to- maturity investments
The investments have fixed maturities, and it is the group's intention to hold these investments to maturity. Any held-tomaturity investments held by the group are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
(g) Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the eash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
For the year ended 30 June 2006 (Cont)
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
(h) Interests in joint ventures
The economic entity's share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture operations are included in the appropriate items of the consolidated income statements and balance sheets. Details of the economic entity's interests are shown in Note 22.
(i) Intangibles
Goodwill
Goodwill on consolidation is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on consolidation was written off to income statements in previous years.
Research and development
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Products and software development costs, including the consolidated entity's route optimisation and mobile data systems technology, are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.
Products and software development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis over the useful live of the project which is estimated to be 4 to 5 years.
(j) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance sheet date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from wages and salaries and annual leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
(k) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating loss after income tax attributable to members of SmartTrans Holdings Limited by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the operating loss after income tax attributable to members of SmartTrans Holdings Limited by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(l) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and less bank overdrafts if any.
(m) Comparative figures
Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(n) Revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
For the year ended 30 June 2006 (Cont)
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
(o) Goods and services tax (GST)
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 balance sheets are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(p) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

NOTE 15: REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVES (Cont)
(e) Remuneration Practices
The Company's policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of directors and key management personnel of the Company is as follows:
The remuneration structure for the executive director and key management personnel is based on a number of factors including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the Company. Employment between the Company and the executive director and key management personnel is on a continuing basis, not formalized by service agreements, the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future. Upon retirement the executive director and key management personnel are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to date of retirement. The executive director and key management personnel are paid a percentage of their salary (determined by the Board at the time) in the event of redundancy. Additionally, remuneration and other terms of employment for the executive director are formalised in a letter of appointment that also contains comprehensive provisions in relation to termination, confidentiality and suspension.
Non executive directors are renumerated on the basis disclosed in the Directors' Report.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company is committed to implementing the highest practical standards of corporate governance. The Company is pleased to advise that its practices are largely consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations.
Where the Company's corporate governance practices differ from the practices recommended by the Council, the Company will explain its position bearing in mind that not all the practices are appropriate due to the size of the Company.
$\mathbf{1}$ . Board of Directors
$1.1$ Role of the Board
The Board's role is to govern the Company rather than to manage it. In governing the Company, the directors must act in the best interests of the Company as a whole. It is the role of senior management to manage the Company in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board.
$1.2$ Composition of the Board
The Board does not comply with practices recommended as it does not have any independent directors. Directors are appointed based on the specific skills required by the Company and on the independence of their decision-making and judgment.
The current Board, comprising two non executive directors and one executive director, is appropriate for the size of the Company.
This issue will be kept under review and one or more independent directors will be appointed if and when it is appropriate to do so.
$1.3$ Responsibilities of the Board
Without intending to limit the role of the Board, the principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include the following.
- Leadership of the Organisation: $1.3.1$ overseeing the Company and establishing codes that reflect the values of the Company and guide the conduct of the Board, management and employees.
- $1.3.2$ Strategy Formulation: working with senior management to set and review the overall strategy and goals for the Company and ensuring that there are policies in place to govern the operation of the Company.
- $1.3.3$ Shareholder Liaison: effective ensuring communications with shareholders through an appropriate communications policy and promoting participation at general meetings of the Company.
- $1.3.4$ Company Finances: approving and monitoring acquisitions, divestitures and financial and other reporting.
- Delegation of Authority: delegating appropriate powers $1.3.5$ to senior management to ensure the effective day-to-day management of the Company.
$1.4$ Board Policies
$1.4.1$ Conflicts of Interest
Directors must disclose to the Board actual or potential conflicts of interest that may or might reasonably be thought to exist between the interests of the director and the interests of any other parties in carrying out the activities of the Company;
$1.4.2$ Related Party Transactions
Related party transactions include any financial transaction between a director and the Company and, if any, will be reported in writing to each Board meeting.
1.4.3 Trading in Company Shares
The Company has a Share Trading Policy under which directors and certain employees and their associates are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities during the 4 weeks preceding:
- the release by the Company of its half-yearly results to the ASX: and
- the release by the Company of its annual results to the ASX.
In addition, consistent with the law, designated officers are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities while in the possession of unpublished price sensitive information concerning the Company.
$\overline{2}$ . Board Committees
$2.1$ Audit Committee
As the whole Board only consists of only three members, and due to the size of the Company, it does not have a separate audit committee.
$2.2$ Remuneration Committee
As the whole Board only consists of only three members, and due to the size of the Company, it does not have a separate remuneration committee.
Non-executive director Remuneration Policy $2.2.1$
Non-executive directors are paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount (currently \$80,000) approved by shareholders for the remuneration of nonexecutive directors. Non-executive directors do not receive performance based bonuses and do not participate in equity schemes of the Company other than rights issues of securities and underwriting of the issue of securities.
The remuneration payable to the non-executive directors has remained constant since 2nd November 1990.
$2.3$ Nomination Committee
As the whole Board only consists of only three members, and due to the size of the Company, it does not have a separate nomination committee.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont.)
$\ddot{\mathbf{3}}$ . Company Code Of Conduct
As part of its commitment to recognising the legitimate interests of stakeholders, the Company has established a Code of Conduct to guide compliance with legal and other obligations to legitimate stakeholders. These stakeholders include employees, clients, customers, government authorities, creditors and the community as whole. This Code includes:
Responsibilities to Shareholders and the Financial Community Generally
The Company has processes in place designed to ensure the truthful and factual presentation of the Company's financial position.
Responsibilities to Clients, Customers and Consumers
Each employee has an obligation to use their best efforts to deal in a fair and responsible manner with each of the Company's clients, customers and consumers.
Employment Practices
The Company endeavours to provide a safe workplace in which there is equal opportunity for all employees at all levels of the Company. The Company does not tolerate the offering or acceptance of bribes or the misuse of Company assets or resources.
Obligations Relative to Fair Trading and Dealing
The Company aims to conduct its business fairly and to compete ethically and in accordance with relevant competition laws.
Conflicts of Interest
Employees and directors must avoid conflicts as well as the appearance of conflicts between personal interests and the interests of the Company.
