CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
The Company conducts business on two diverse fronts, the provision of mobile phone and transport systems and mineral exploration.
MOBILE PHONE and TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
The Company is strongly focussed on the execution of an agreement with the China Mobile Shanxi Group, the expansion of its agreement with Yamei Electronics, the roll-out of the VODOne Lottery Application and generally broadening its client base in China and Australia.
The Company increased its equity in Sm@rtTrans Limited from 95% to 100%. As a result, Sm@rtTrans Limited is now a wholly-owned subsidiary.
I was pleased to announce on 1 July 2011 that Australia's former Ambassador to China, Dr Geoff Raby agreed to join the Boards of SmartTrans Holdings Limited and Sm@rtTrans Limited in August 2011.
Dr Raby served as Australia's Ambassador to China since February 2007 and previously twice served as head of the Embassy's Economic Section in Beijing. He is expected to play a key role in SmartTrans' business relationships with important Chinese organisations, in particular China Mobile Group Shanxi, China Minmetals Group, China National Heavy Machinery Corporation (CHMC) and Yamei.
Also in July the company announced the completion of a placement which raised \$550,000 including a strategic investment of \$500,000 by Zhenya Tsvetnenko, Chief Executive Officer of the Zhenya Group of Companies. (http://about.me/zhenyatsvetnenko).
Mr Tsvetnenko, who has successfully pioneered mobile telephone technology and premium mobile messaging services across the globe, was the national winner of the prestigious Ernst and Young, Entrepreneur of the Year 2010 young category, and the Western Australian Business News 40 under 40 awards 2010. Mr Tsvetnenko pioneered advertising on the Google content network to build a campaign delivering 22 billion views of advertisements (http://au.linkedin.com/in/zhenyatsvetnenko) and continues to look for opportunities in the on-line field. The Company looks forward to further developing a successful alliance with the Zhenya Group of Companies.
MINERAL EXPLORATION
Exploration continued at the Company's lead-zinc project at Riversleigh and our joint venture partner, the China Minmetals Group (MMG) completed Stage Two of the Wangunda Joint Venture and has now progressed to Stage Three.
At our Mount Mackenzie project in Central Queensland we believe there is significant potential for significant high grade deposits. With the current high gold price such deposits may suit various mining companies and the Company is seeking a suitable joint venture partner from the ranks of Australia's current list of active gold producers and explorers.
On behalf of Directors, my thanks go to the SmartTrans team which has worked extremely hard during the year.

Changes in State of Affairs
During the financial year there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the economic entity.
Likely Developments and Results
The likely developments, future prospects and business strategies, of the economic entity for subsequent years will depend upon exploration success at all or any of its projects and the success of its EventTrack, e-Route, e-Track, e-PoD, mobile data and vehicle telemetry products the China Mobile Platform, the Yamei Systems and the VODOne Lottery Application.
In March 2011 SmartTrans Technology (Beijing) Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sm@rtTrans Limited, announced that it had entered into an agreement with VODOne's Beijing Caishijie Information Technology Company Limited (www.caishijie.com) for the distribution of its VODOne Lottery Application in China.
Under the agreement, SmartTrans has been granted the exclusive right to provide the VODOne Lottery Application to customers of the China Mobile group of companies in China and the non-exclusive right to provide that application to other subscribers in China. SmartTrans is entitled to commission on all amounts wagered by customers using the VODOne Lottery Application accessed from the SmartTrans platform.
Players will simply register and download the lottery software from SmartTrans' mobile telephone based AMP software and self-pick or quick-pick their lottery numbers, study lottery information and check their account balance through their handsets.
The VODOne Lottery Application to be distributed by SmartTrans will enable users to access and participate in lotteries run by the China Welfare Lottery Management Center (www.zhcw.com) and provide access to VODOne's portal named "Lottery Lifestyle" which broadcasts lottery related news and information exclusively supplied by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of China.
VODOne - www.vodone.com - is a company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (0082.HK). According to VODOne, it is one of the first authorised service providers of mobile lottery betting service for mobile end users in China and mobile lottery has the advantage of surpassing other traditional lottery purchasing methods because players can make their purchasing decision whenever and wherever.
VODOne also advises that, currently, the lottery betting services of VODOne Lottery View covers all nationwide welfare lotteries in China.
Xinhua, the official press agency of the government of the People's Republic of China, reports that, according to the Welfare Lottery Distribution and Management Center (WLDMC), China sold CNY96.8 billion worth of welfare lotteries in 2010 and sales of welfare lotteries posted an annual increase of 18.7 percent over the past five years, from CNY41.2 billion in 2006 to CNY96.8 billion in 2010 inclusive. (http://news.xinhuanet.com/fortune/2011-02/08/c_13722112.htm)
SmartTrans expects to grow its Australian business with identified expansion projects with existing customers expected to take the SmartTrans solution to additional locations.
The functionality of the SmartTrans system will continue to increase as enhancements developed for the EventTrack project are integrated into the full suite of logistics products

Australia's Ambassador to China Dr Geoff Raby joined the Boards of SmartTrans Holdings Limited and Sm@rtTrans Limited on 6 August 2011 on his retirement from Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Dr Raby served as Australia's Ambassador to China since February 2007 and twice served as head of the Embassy's Economic Section in Beijing.

Environmental Regulation
The Company is committed to environmental care and aims to carry out its activities in an environmentally-responsible and scientificallysound 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.
Non-Audit Services
The economic entity has engaged RSM Bird Cameron on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties. These assignments involved provision of professional technical advice and preparation of the Company's income tax return for which RSM Bird Cameron was paid \$2,900 and \$10,965 respectively.
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
- b) none of the services undermined the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
Insurance of Directors and Officers
During the financial year, SmartTrans Holdings Limited insured all Directors and Officers of the economic entity for all liabilities and costs relating to any claim made against them arising out of their conduct whilst acting as a Director or Officer of the economic entity, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the economic entity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SMARTTRANS HOLDINGS LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of SmartTrans Holdings Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

NOTE 1 : STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial report covers the economic entity of SmartTrans Holdings Limited and controlled entities (―Group‖). SmartTrans Holdings Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The separate financial statements of the parent entity, SmartTrans Holdings Limited have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporation Act 2001.
The financial report was authorised for issue on 30 September 2011 by the Board of Directors.
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the group in the preparation of the financial statements. The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
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.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the company and consolidated entity incurred losses of \$3,515,717 and \$3,826,327 respectively and the consolidated entity had net cash outflows from operating activities of \$1,448,311 for the year ended 30 June 2011. As at that date the company and consolidated entity had net current liabilities of \$28,945 and \$219,224 respectively.
The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the company and consolidated entity will continue as going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of the following factors:
- In July 2011, the company announced it raised \$550,000 through a placement of 29,411,765 shares including a strategic investment of \$500,000 by Zhenya Tsvetnenko, Chief Executive Officer of the Zhenya Group of Companies, which successfully pioneered mobile phone technology and premium mobile phone messaging services across the globe;
- On 19 August 2011, SmartTrans announced that it had signed a binding agreement with China Mobile's CMPay E-Commerce Center, that will allow SmartTrans to derive revenue from China Mobile's customers. SmartTrans' mobile telephone based software products and services are budgeted to launch in China this year and SmartTrans is presently negotiating a number of additional supply and service agreements, which SmartTrans expects will broaden its market reach in China and aid expansion;
- The China Mobile's CMPay arrangement gives SmartTrans billing access to China Mobile's 627 million customers and allows for China Mobile users to buy SmartTrans products including SmartTrans e-Solution logistics software and other content, on their mobile telephones and pay via their China Mobile CMPay account;
- SmartTrans expects to benefit, from its exclusive right to provide the VODOne Lottery Application to customers of the China Mobile group of companies in China and its non-exclusive right to provide that application to other subscribers in China, taking advantage of the rapid growth in welfare lottery expenditure. According to Xinhua, the official press agency of the government of the People's Republic of China, welfare lotteries posted an annual increase of 18.7 percent over the past five years to CNY96.8 billion in 2010 (http://news.xinhuanet.com/fortune/2011-02/08/c_13722112.htm);
- The Company's new website and mobile site will incorporate the VODOne Lottery Application and attract paying subscribers, advertising revenue, monthly fees from consumers and sales revenue from the sale of applications;
- The announced appointment of the former Australian Ambassador to China, Dr Geoff Raby to the Board of Directors, provides to the Company a wealth of expertise, contacts and experience in doing business in China;
For the year ended 30 June 2011
NOTE 1 : STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Basis of Preparation (cont.)
- The Company intends to raise funds through a Rights Issue and a placement to sophisticated investors during the next twelve months. These funds will provide working capital for the Company to launch its Mobile Telephone and Web-based software services in China and to launch and market the VODOne mobile phone lottery system, for which SmartTrans will receive a royalty percentage for all amounts wagered, and
- The Company has the ability to further reduce operational cost levels, to conserve cash in the event that the capital raisings are delayed or partial.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
In the current year, the economic entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in a significant or material change to the consolidated entity's accounting policies.
At the date of this financial report the following standards, which may impact the entity in the period of initial application, have been issued but are not yet effective:
| Reference | Title | Summary | Application date (financial years beginning) |
Expected Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AASB 9 | Financial Instruments | Replaces the requirements of AASB 139 for the classification and measurement of financial assets. This is the result of the first part of Phase 1 of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39. |
1 January 2013 | No expected impact on the entity |
| AASB 124 | Related Party Disclosures |
Revised standard. The definition of a related party is simplified to clarify its intended meaning and eliminate inconsistencies from the application of the definition |
1 January 2011 | Disclosure only |
The economic entity has decided against early adoption of these standards.
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 10 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.
For the year ended 30 June 2011
NOTE 1 : STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont)
(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 financial position date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the financial position 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.
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 statement of comprehensive income 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 cash 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 Sm@rtTrans Ltd cannot be assessed with certainty as it is dependent upon a continuation of the successful development and commercialisation of the on-line intelligent transport systems, software, services and other technology. Although the directors are budgeting for the business to be profitable from and including the year ending 30 June 2011, on the basis of conservatism and prudence, the directors have elected to raise provisions against the parent entity's investment in and loan to Sm@rtTrans 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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 2 to 10 years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial position 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 statement of comprehensive income.
For the year ended 30 June 2011 (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:-
- (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 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 exploration 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-to-maturity 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 statement of comprehensive income.
(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 statement of comprehensive income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

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 statement of comprehensive incomes and financial positions. Details of the economic entity's interests are shown in Note 23.
(i) Intangibles
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 economic 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. Products and software development costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment loss.
(j) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to financial position 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.
The Group operates an employee share ownership plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(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. A government grant is recognised on the receipt of the grant.
For the year ended 30 June 2011 (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 statement of financial positions are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the Statement of cash flows 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.
(q) Leases
Lease payments under operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
(r) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors.
(s) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation currency, are translated as follows:
- assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
- income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
- retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.

NOTE 2 : FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (mainly interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The group's overall risk management program focuses on liquidity and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group. The group uses different methods to measure different types of risks to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate risks and ageing analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior management in consultation with the Board of Directors. The group's overall risk management program focuses on managing the risk identified below:
Credit Risk
The group trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. The group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the group's exposure to debt is minimal. There are a number of individually significant debtors. At 30 June 2011, the four largest debtors comprised approximately 55% of the total debtors. One debtor comprised approximately 18% of total debtors. The debt has been paid by the date of this financial report. Generally customers do not have external credit ratings. Management believes the credit quality of the Consolidated Group's customers is high based on the very low bad debt write-offs experienced historically.
Liquidity Risk
The group has appropriate procedures in place to manage cash flows including continuous monitoring of forecast and actual cash flows to ensure funds are available to meet commitments. The group's equity management is determined by funds required to undertake software development and marketing, and exploration activities and meet its corporate and other costs. Where joint venture partners participate in particular projects the partners contribute cash calls in proportion to their respective interest or as agreed under any buy-in agreements.
Foreign exchange risk
The group's exposure to Foreign exchange risk for changes in currency rates relates primarily to the US dollar and Chinese Renminbi. The group has very low exposure to foreign exchange variation at this time.
Interest rate risk
The group's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to interest on deposits with banking institutions. The group has no borrowings or finance leases. See Note 24 (b).
NOTE 3 : CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions.
The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Recoverability of exploration expenditure
The group tests annually whether the exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred in identifiable areas of interest is expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves and further work is expected to be performed. All expenditure that does not meet these criteria is expensed in accordance with Note 1(e).

NOTE 27 : SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
- (i) On 14 July 2010, 6,000,000 share options were granted to eligible staff and essential independent contractors under the SmartTrans Holdings Limited Employee Share Option Plan to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of \$0.005 each. The options are exercisable on or before 14 July 2011. The options had no voting or dividend rights and are not transferable.
- (ii) There were no options granted to key management personnel or directors.
- (iii) The company established the SmartTrans Holdings Limited Employee Share Option Scheme on 14 July 2010 as a reward for past services and as an incentive to staff and essential independent contractors during the forthcoming year.
- (iv) Options are forfeited once the holder ceases to be employed by the Group, unless the Board determines otherwise (this is usually only in the case of retirement, redundancy, death or disablement).
- (v) A summary of company options issued is as follows:
| Number | Weighted Average Exercise Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Granted | 6,000,000 | \$0.005 |
| Options outstanding as at 30 June 2011 | 6,000,000 | \$0.005 |
| Options exercisable as at 30 June 2011 | 6,000,000 | - |
The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at year-end was 43 days. The exercise price of outstanding shares at the end of the reporting period was \$0.005.
The fair value of the options granted to employees is deemed to represent the value of the employee services received over the vesting period.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was \$0.015. These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model applying the following inputs:
| Weighted average exercise price: | \$0.005 |
|---|---|
| Weighted average life of the option: | 1 year |
| Expected share price volatility: | 104% |
| Risk-free interest rate: | 4.52% |
Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of future movements.
The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.

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 (Second Edition) (ASX Corporate Governance Principles).
Where the Company's corporate governance practices differ from the practices recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Principles, the Company will explain its position bearing in mind that not all the practices are appropriate having regard to the size and current activities of the Company.
Board of Directors
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.
In September 2008 the Board adopted a Board Charter to clarify the role, powers and responsibilities of the Board, a copy of which is available on the Company's website.
Composition of the Board
Membership
The Board's size and composition is designed to effectively discharge its responsibilities, duties and encourage enhanced performance of the Company. The Board is comprised of carefully selected individuals whose experience and skill base is commensurate with the requirements and profile of the Company.
Details regarding the skills, experience and expertise of the current members of the Board are included in Directors' Report.
Independence
The Board does not fully comply with the practices recommended in Recommendation 2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles as it does not have any independent directors (including the Chairman of the Board). Directors are appointed based on the specific skills required by the Company and on the independence of their decision-making and judgment. The Board has determined that the current structure of the Board, comprising two non executive directors and one executive director, is appropriate for the size and current development of the Company.
Each director is aware of the importance of bringing an independent judgment to bear on board decisions and, to facilitate this, there is a procedure agreed by the Board to have access in appropriate circumstances to independent professional advice at the Company's expense.
The role of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are not exercised by the same individual and the Board Charter outlines a clear division of power between the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer.
The issue of the appointment of independent directors will be kept under review and one or more independent directors will be appointed if and when it is appropriate to do so.
Responsibilities of the Board
The division of responsibility between the Board and management is outlined in the Board Charter. In summary, and without intending to limit the role of the Board, the principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include the following.
Leadership of the Organisation: overseeing the Company and establishing codes that reflect the values of the Company and guide the conduct of the Board, management and employees.
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.
Risk Management: identifying the principal risks of the Company's business, examining the Company's risk profile and overseeing the Company' systems of internal risk compliance and control.
Shareholder Liaison: ensuring effective communications with shareholders through an appropriate communications policy, ensuring the full and timely disclosure of all material information and promoting participation at general meetings of the Company.
Management: appointing and removing the Chief Executive Officer, Company Secretary and senior executives and ensuring remuneration and conditions of service are adequate.
Performance and Remuneration: reviewing the performance and remuneration of the senior executives and undertaking performance evaluations of the Board and reviewing Board succession plans.
Company Finances: approving and monitoring acquisitions, divestitures and financial and other reporting and reviewing financial statements and other financial information distributed externally.
Audit Function: liaising with the external auditor and ensuring that the annual audits and half year audit reviews are conducted in an effective manner.
Delegation of Authority: delegating appropriate powers to senior management to ensure the effective day-to-day management of the Company.
Corporate Governance Policies
In addition to the Board Charter, in September 2008 the Board revised and introduced the following written policies and conducts annual reviews of compliance with the policies to assess compliance and effectiveness.
Copies of the Company's policies are publically available on the Company's website.
Continuous Disclosure and Shareholder Communication Policy
The Board recognises that all investors should have equal and timely access to material information concerning the Company and that shareholders are provided with an opportunity to participate at general meetings.
The Company has adopted a Continuous Disclosure and Shareholder Communications Policy, to be administered and implemented by the Board, to ensure that Company announcements are made in a timely manner, are factual and do not omit material information and are expressed in a clear and objective manner and that shareholders have ready access to
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont)
balanced and understandable information about the Company and corporate proposals.
Risk Management Policy
The Company has adopted a Risk Management Policy for the oversight and management of material business risks. The Board is of the opinion that the Company has a sound system of risk management and internal control in place and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks
Due to the Company's size and current activities, the Company has determined that it is not appropriate to establish a separate risk management committee and instead the whole Board acts to ensure that the risk management policies reflect the Company's risk profile and to conduct an annual review of the policy and the Company's compliance. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is responsible for ensuring the policy is implemented and must report any breaches of the Policy to the Board.
The Board receives assurance from the Chief Executive Officer that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.
Code of Conduct
All stakeholders are entitled to expect the highest professional standard from employees and directors of the Company.
