MOBILE PHONE and TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
Lottery and Sports Wagering
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 lotteries 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.
During the last three months SmartTrans saw revenue grow by over 800%.
A new version of the SmartTrans MyCaipiao mobile lottery application was released on 8th June 2012 to align with the start of the three-week 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 on 16th June 2012.
SmartTrans Holdings Ltd - Quarterly Report
June 2012
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.
Apps Sales
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.
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 including:
-
China Mobile CMPay;
-
China UnionPay;
-
AliPay; and
-
China Mobile’s Mobile Market.
SmartTrans Holdings Ltd - Quarterly Report
June 2012
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 valueadded 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.
Billing Facilities
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 Holdings Ltd - Quarterly Report
June 2012
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.
Other Developments
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.

MINERAL EXPLORATION PROJECTS
Wangunda Joint Venture – China Minmetals Group (“MMG”) earning 70% equity (SmartTrans currently 100% equity, 28,160 hectares)
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 the $6 million Stage Three due for completion by 6 June 2014.
There was no exploration field work reported by MMG during the quarter.
SmartTrans Holdings Ltd - Quarterly Report
June 2012
Connors Arch Joint Venture
This group, in which SmartTrans is in joint venture with Australia Oriental Minerals NL, covers three tenements in the South Connors Arch Province which is prospective for porphyry-style copper-gold deposits and epithermal gold deposits.
Mount Mackenzie Prospect (60% equity, 15,680 hectares )
Located at Coppermine Creek in Central Queensland, Mount Mackenzie is an advanced exploration project. Diamond drilling by SmartTrans, together with the development of a comprehensive geological and geophysical model, has demonstrated that Mt Mackenzie is one of the largest hydrothermal (high-sulphidation) systems in eastern Australia.
Drilling encountered significant gold and copper values in lead-zinc-silver mineralized breccias and extensive, intensely sulphidic, alteration under cover rocks at the “Instinct” Prospect located 500m to 1000m west of Mt Mackenzie.
Mineralisation is evident in:
-
sulphide matrix polymict breccias of hydrothermal and probable intrusive origin;
-
well developed multidirectional quartz- sulphide stockworks;
-
vughy silica alteration, and;
-
haematized and probable supergene zones related to palaeo weathering, immediately below the unconformity with the cover sequence.
The potential for extensions to this system lies under the volcanic cover outside the limits of all previous drilling.
SmartTrans believes there is also significant potential for high grade deposits at Mount Mackenzie.
SmartTrans is seeking a suitable joint venture partner for this project.
