SMARTTRANS HOLDINGS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

The Company conducts business on two diverse fronts, the provision of internet and mobile software systems, transport optimisation systems and mineral exploration.

INTERNET AND MOBILE SOFTWARE SYSTEMS and TRANSPORT OPTIMISATION SYSTEMS

After an extended gestation, the Company has now laid the foundations for its operations in China and is in the early stage of generating revenue from its lottery and MyLife365 website, sports wagering, apps and content sales and billing facilities projects.

A recently-conducted six day marketing campaign to test its China Mobile affiliated MyLife365 website returned encouraging results. In the trial, China Mobile customers were able to purchase from SmartTrans a monthly subscription to MyLife and charge it directly to their mobile phone accounts to access a range of content from the SmartTrans www.mylife365.cn web site.

The uptake and growth profile achieved during the test relative to the costs incurred were very encouraging and the company will now focus on refining the content and employing customer inquiry staff to support ongoing operational marketing campaigns. It will then run multiple campaigns in parallel which will target different user demographic profiles.

SmartTrans also established a project with Double Eagle China under which SmartTrans proposes to supply its on-line and mobile billing systems and its mobile and internet software platform to Double Eagle for its e- shopping payment card and loyalty system to be provided in association with China Merchants Bank

During the year, SmartTrans also worked towards providing its EventTrack solution for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and has appointed a local distributor for its products in Brazil. A proposal for SmartTrans EventTrack system, which is part of SmartTrans’ portfolio of mobile applications, was provided to the Ministry of Sport in Brazil.

MINERAL EXPLORATION

Exploration continued at the Company’s lead-zinc project at Riversleigh in the Wangunda Joint Venture. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement signed in 2006, MMG Australia Limited, formerly OZ Minerals Australia 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. MMG has spent $4 million thereby completing Stage Two of the agreement and has now progressed into its $6 million commitment to Stage Three which is due for completion by 6 June 2014.

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 and the VODOne Lottery Application.

After an extended gestation, the Company has now laid the foundations for its operations in China and is in the early stage of generating revenue from its lottery and MyLife365 website, sports wagering, apps and content sales and billing facilities projects.

SmartTrans has proposed its EventTrack major events and mobile telephone software application to the Brazilian Ministry of Sport for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 2014 and is expecting to shortly receive an update on the status of this proposal from the Ministry of Sport. In preparation, SmartTrans has appointed a local partner to assist with customization and distribution of its products in Brazil.

SmartTrans has secured valuable agreements allowing it to provide lottery and sports wagering facilities directly from any of its Internet web sites, including www.mycaipiao.cn, and to also provide these facilities to users on their mobile telephone.

This allows SmartTrans to sell lottery tickets and provide sports wagering facilities on events such as English Premier League Football and Basketball for example. Users will be able to set up an account on SmartTrans’ www.mycaipiao.cn web site or download the SmartTrans MyCaipiao VODOne mobile application and select their lottery numbers or wager on the outcome of a sporting event.

SmartTrans provides a front-end to China’s Welfare Lottery and Sports Lottery which is operated by the Chinese government and is the only form of legal gambling in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). (Source http://www.sport.gov.cn/n16/n33193/n33223/n35724/n2348514/1114421.html)

SmartTrans will receive a significant royalty on all amounts wagered and, with the strong global growth in online gaming both on mobile devices and Internet web sites, is looking for growth in line with that reported by other online gaming providers operating elsewhere in the world such as Ladbrokes, William Hill, Paddy Power and Jumbo Interactive.

A new version of the SmartTrans MyCaipiao mobile lottery application was released on 8th June 2012 to align with the start of the threeweek European Cup (www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/index.html).

The version included improved functionality focused on sports wagering and allowed users to wager on the European Cup soccer games. During the sporting event, SmartTrans ran a range of marketing campaigns focused on the European Cup.

During the same period, the MyCaipiao VODOne lottery and sports wagering application was installed on over 25,000 phones at a rate of approximately 1,000 phones per day.

SmartTrans also saw a substantial increase in visits to its dedicated soccer wagering sites (including www.mycaipiao.cn/soccer) hitting a daily high of 30,000 visitors during the European Cup.

Customer registrations grew by 800% between May and June 2012 and wagering increased by 330%.

These are important elements as SmartTrans receives a life-time royalty on all amounts wagered by customers who download the MyCaipiao VODOne mobile lottery application from SmartTrans’ platform and use it for wagering or purchasing lottery tickets.

The new version of the application also provides the facility for customers to view sports and lottery events and to interact with other registered users to discuss lotteries and sports wagering.

The SmartTrans MyCaipiao VODOne lottery application is also available for download from China Mobile’s Mobile Market.

SmartTrans provides an extended range of products and services on its dedicated China Mobile billing site – www.mylife365.cn and continues to work with China Mobile in exploring new market opportunities, not only in China but also in other geographic regions.

SmartTrans www.mylifeonline site, which is available to customers of all telecommunications providers, allows for customers to make purchases using a range of billing options including China UnionPay and AliPay.

In May 2012, SmartTrans was granted the right to bill its China Mobile customers directly through their phone bills enabling immediate and easy transactions with customers. This places SmartTrans in an enviable position in China allowing it to bill its products directly to the people’s phone bills in China where credit card ownership is very low.

SMARTTRANS HOLDINGS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont)

An increasing number of SmartTrans products were distributed via China Mobile and billed through China Mobile’s billing platforms.

Mobile telephone users in China can now choose to purchase and pay for SmartTrans’ products using a range of payment methods for which SmartTrans has settled agreements with China Mobile CMPay. China UnionPay, AliPay and China Mobile’s Mobile Market.

In April 2012 SmartTrans signed an agreement with Beijing Digitone Telecom Co. Ltd, “D.Phone” (www.dixintong.com), for it to install SmartTrans MyLife and the MyCaipiao VODOne mobile lottery software on mobile phones it sells with an initial target of 1,000,000 units. D.Phone distributes from approximately 2,000 stores and is China's largest mobile phone retailer and value-added service provider. It is the country’s largest mobile communications and digital products retail chain. (Source:http://www.dixintong.com/index/gong_si_dong_tai_news_9.html)

The MyLife software portal to be installed on the phones will allow users access to a suite of software to purchase and receive lottery tickets using the mobile telephone lottery application as well as purchase games, applications, mobile phone themes and ringtones using an integrated online payment system built by SmartTrans. The SmartTrans billing platform allows telephone users to buy products and services on their mobile telephones and over the Internet. In addition, SmartTrans software will be distributed on software CDs in D.Phone’s stores.

SmartTrans is working closely with partner, Zhenya Tsvetnenko, to provide its billing services to third parties from overseas seeking to sell their products in China.

Due to the challenges in establishing a business in China and then being able to collect payments, SmartTrans offers a service to Chinese software and services vendors which it believes to be unique.

Each SmartTrans web site is supported by a mobile telephone application allowing users to transact directly from their mobile telephone to purchase lottery tickets, games, applications and ringtones.

The China Mobile direct-to-phone payment platform was fully implemented in the MyLife system in June 2012 using a direct connection to the billing platform managed by China Mobile’s UMPay (www.umpay.com). China Mobile’s UMPay has a customer base of more than 500 million mobile phone users. (source: www.umpay.com/englishumpay/overview/introduction.html)

Direct-to-phone billing requires no customer pre-registration and no new mobile software in order to make a purchase. This makes it the easiest way for mobile phone users to make transactions.

This was a significant breakthrough for SmartTrans as customers can now make purchases with a few clicks on their phone without using credit/debit cards or registering at online payment portal websites.

SmartTrans is able to bill its monthly CNY30 (A$5) subscription service and its other products direct to customers’ mobile phone accounts nationally with payments appearing on customers’ phone bills.

SmartTrans submitted a proposal for its EventTrack system to the Brazilian Ministry of Sport for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2014. If successful, development of the mobile telephone application is scheduled to commence in late 2012.

SmartTrans continued to support China National Heavy Machinery Corporation (CHMC) progressing arrangements for it to enter the Australian market and assisted with project identification and assessment.

CHMC reports that it has successfully contracted over 800 large complete plant projects in China and approximately twenty other countries in the industries of metallurgy, mining, port terminals, building material, forging and press, urban water supply, environment protection, power generating, bridge construction, grain stores, airport construction, urban construction, chemical industry, water conservancy, and nuclear power. (www.chmc2003.com:8640/gsjj.htm).

In Australia, SmartTrans continues to roll out and expand the user base of its innovative mobile software solutions.

Significant Events after the Reporting Date

Since 30 June 2012, the Company has raised a total of $880,000 through a Share Purchase Plan and two placements including a further strategic investment of $200,000 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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont)

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 $16,475 and $11,600 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.

Meetings of Directors

The following table sets out the number of formal meetings of the Company’s directors during the year ended 30 June 2012 and the number of meetings attended by each director:

Corporate Governance

In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the directors of SmartTrans Holdings Limited support and have adhered to the principles of corporate governance. The Company’s statement of corporate governance practice is included in this Annual Report.

Proceedings on Behalf of Company

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings.

The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

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.

SMARTTRANS HOLDINGS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2012

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 28 September 2012 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.

The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

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.

Except for cash flow information, 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 $1,980,208 and $2,527,630 respectively and the consolidated entity had net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,265,345 for the year ended 30 June 2012. As at that date the company and consolidated entity had net current liabilities of $136,521 and $299,601 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:

  • As disclosed in Note 25, since 30 June 2012, the Company has raised a total of $880,000 through a Share Purchase Plan and two placements, including a further strategic investment of $200,000 by Zhenya Tsvetnenko, Chief Executive Officer of the Zhenya Group of Companies, who has successfully pioneered mobile telephone technology and premium mobile messaging services across the globe and the two companies have established a jointly-owned company in Hong Kong, to provide Internet and Mobile Telephone software services to consumers in the People’s Republic of China (PRC);

  • The Company intends to raise funds through its ability to make further share placements prior to the 2012 Annual General Meeting, whereat it will refresh its share placement ability. The company also intends to conduct a Rights Issue and a placement to sophisticated investors during the next twelve months, from the date of this financial report, to raise sufficient working capital for the Company, to enable it to expand its Mobile Telephone and Web-based software services in the PRC and to boost its marketing of the VODOne mobile phone lottery system, from which IT will receive a royalty percentage for all amounts wagered;

  • As announced to the ASX, SmartTrans has secured agreements in the PRC, allowing it to derive royalty income from the provision of lottery and sports wagering facilities, directly from any of its Internet web sites, including www.mycaipiao.cn, and to also provide these facilities to users, by applications on their mobile telephones. Users are billed for usage of SmartTrans’ applications direct to their mobile phone accounts thereby making the billing process simpler for customers and minimising credit risk in respect of revenue which has commenced and has grown significantly since May 2012. Details of these business activities were described in more detail in the company’s December 2011 Half-Yearly Report and the June 2012 quarterly Report;

  • As discussed in Note 21, whilst the Company has expenditure commitments in respect of its mining tenements it has, in previous years, substantially reduced those commitments by seeking exemptions and believes that it will be able to do so in the succeeding year. Furthermore, the company is actively seeking a joint venture partner for its Mount Mackenzie project and, if it is successful, the Company’s expenditure commitments would be met by the joint venture partner; and

  • The Company has the ability to reduce operational cost levels, to conserve cash in the event that new revenue streams from the PRC discussed above, are delayed or reduced from amounts budgeted or the capital raisings are similarly delayed or reduced.

The consolidated entity has decided against early adoption of these standards and interpretations. Furthermore, these changes in standards and interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

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.

  • (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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2012 (cont)

NOTE 1 : STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont)

  • (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 2013, 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.

(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.

  • (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.

(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;

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2012 (Cont)

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 no individually significant debtors, all of which are less than $5,000. 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).

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the number of shares held. At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

Ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

Options

  • i. For information relating to the SmartTrans Holdings Limited employee option plan, including details of options issued, exercised and lapsed during the financial year and the options outstanding at year-end, refer to Note 27: Share-based Payments.

  • ii. For information relating to share options issued to key management personnel during the financial year, refer to Note 27.

Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital, and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the group’s capital by assessing the group’s financial risks on a monthly basis and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the group since the prior year. The group’s gearing ratio is kept at a minimum. There is no intention to incur debt funding on behalf of the group. Ongoing operations will be funded via equity or joint ventures with other companies.

Management only places funds on short term deposit with reputable banks and optimises interest rates by negotiation.

The following table summarises the sensitivity of the group’s financial assets to movements in interest rates of 100 percentage basis points.

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 were all exercised.

  • (ii) On 7 September 2011, 20,000,000 share options were granted to Dr Geoff Raby, a director of the Company. The options were issued under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan. The options will vest and become exercisable in three separate tranches on three different dates as set out below, on the condition that, at the time of any exercise of the options, Dr Raby must be a director of the Company.

  • (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 during the year is as follows:

Grant Date Date of Expiry Exercise Price Number under Option
7/9/2011 7/10/2012 $0.0186 6,666,666
7/9/2011 7/10/2013 $0.0186 6,666,667
7/9/2011 7/10/2014 $0.0186 6,666,667

The fair value of the options granted to a director is deemed to represent the value of the director services received over the vesting period.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was $0.025. These values were calculated using the BlackScholes option pricing model applying the following inputs:

Weighted average exercise price: $0.0186 Weighted average life of the option: 2.13 years Expected share price volatility: 159% Risk-free interest rate: 4.98%

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.

SMARTTRANS HOLDINGS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 2012 ANNUAL 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 (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.

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.

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.

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

balanced and understandable information about the Company and corporate proposals.

selection and appointment of the external auditor as required (in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act) and will conduct an examination of any potential auditor's experience, skills and independence in order to make such an appointment.

Remuneration Committee

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. The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct, details of which are summarised below, which sets out the way the Company conducts business and guides the behaviour of employees and directors of the Company, clearly stating the Company's firm commitment to behaving honestly and fairly.

As the Board consists of only three members, and due to the Company's size and current activities, the Company does not have a separate remuneration committee as recommended by Recommendation 8.1 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles.

The Board as a whole is responsible for setting and reviewing the remuneration of directors, senior executives and employees of the Company, however, no person is to be directly involved in determining their own remuneration. The Board will, where appropriate, seek external advice and guidance.

Non-executive director Remuneration Policy

Non-executive directors are paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount (currently $80,000) approved by shareholders for the remuneration of non-executive 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, underwriting of the issue of securities and the Companys Employee Share Option Plan.

Executive Remuneration Policy

Executive directors and senior executives are paid a base salary and superannuation which is calculated by the Board, and where necessary with guidance from external consultants, based on the role and responsibilities of the executive, the results of any performance review conducted and the levels of remuneration of executives in comparable Australian companies.

Remuneration Review

The Board reviewed and increased the remuneration of the executive director during 2008-2009. The remuneration of the executive director and non executive members of the Board during 2009-2010 remained unchanged.

Board Committees

Nomination Committee

The Board has adequate technical expertise, including directors who are financially literate and have an understanding of the industries in which the Company operates. In accordance with the Board Charter, the Board reviews and considers the financial statements, and is generally responsible for ensuring the integrity of the Company's financial reporting. The Board also seeks external advice and guidance, where appropriate,.

RSM Bird Cameron Partners remained as the Company's external auditor during 2009/2010.
