SUMMARY FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 December 2016
ASX-listed smartphone payments provider and logistics software company SmartTrans Holdings Limited (ASX: SMA) provides the following update for the quarter ended 31 December 2016.
Operational
SmartTrans operates mobile and internet-based billing and e-Commerce platforms in China and mobile and internet software solutions servicing the logistics and services sectors in Australia.
In China, the company has successfully established itself in the rapidly emerging “fintech” and e- Commerce sectors, effectively distributing and collecting payment for a diverse range of products.
During the quarter SmartTrans focused on the expansion of its mobile and internet billing services into the e-Commerce sector, establishing its SmartTrans Roolife brand and platform with:
-
Alibaba stores (SmartTrans Roolife)
-
WeChat store (Roolife Lifestyle Store)
-
Dodoca Roolife platform

SmartTrans’ ability to promote and distribute products online, bill customers directly and settle payments to merchants in Australia strongly positions the company as the “Gateway to China” for businesses seeking to sell their products online in China.
The company continues to expand its operations with China-listed Dodoca, Australian-listed BPS Technologies and its China-based billing partners China Mobile, China Telecom, Alibaba and QianDaiPay Payments Company.
The company is a trusted provider to Australian businesses seeking to sell their products in China and importantly to receive payment in Australia, matching the demand from Australian businesses eager to sell into China with the growing demand from Chinese consumers seeking high quality, safe and prestigious Australian products.
During the quarter the company continued its billing activities for third-party mobile content and subscription-based billing in China, albeit at lower levels with lower marketing expenditure.
In Australia, the company continued negotiation for the expanded roll out of its products with new and existing users of its mobile and internet-based logistics software.
Financial
On 28 December 2016, the company announced that it had secured funding of $4.5 million from a new institutional investor, UK-based Lanstead Capital LP and two existing shareholders, Loyal Strategic Investment and Dymocks Securities, to fund the expansion of its e-commerce platforms and facilitate the rollout of its SmartPay payments platform into Australia.
Under the Sharing Agreement with Lanstead Capital described in the company’s announcement dated 28 December 2016:
-
The company has retained $412,5000 of the $2.75 million of the first tranche of subscription funds and invested the balance under the terms of the Sharing Agreement;
-
Subject to approval at the General Meeting to be held on 28 February 2017, the company will retain $187,500 of the $1.25 million of the second tranche of subscription funds and invest the balance under the terms of the Sharing Agreement.
The company has made changes to its product mix designed to improve the return from its business activities over the course of FY17.
Total Consolidated Revenue for the Quarter was $1.64 million.
During the quarter, the company received $3.09 million from sales of products up from $1.33 million in the previous quarter, Q1 2017.
The company’s cash holdings at 31 December 2016 increased by $411k to $1.29 million (up from $880k at end of Q1 2017).
The company also expects to receive a R&D tax return payment of approximately $300k in the coming Quarter.

Outlook
In the coming quarter, SmartTrans expects to continue to build the portfolio of products being sold and distributed in China and to continue to cultivate and benefit from its customer database.
The company plans to commence actively marketing its billing capabilities and e-Commerce platforms to merchants and brands in Australia to build the range of brands and products SmartTrans sells in China.
As the virtual “Gateway to China” SmartTrans will service the growing demand from Australian businesses seeking to enter the China market. The company expects its business model to be equally appealing to businesses anywhere in the world providing for further expansion opportunities in the future.
SmartTrans and its China-based e-Commerce partner Dodoca have set a target of marketing and selling 100 premium Australian brands on the Dodoca Roolife platform within 12 months. SmartTrans will begin sourcing and selecting appropriate brands in January 2017.
In FY17, SmartTrans and Australian-based partner, BPS Technologies, are targeting at least 20 high-quality merchants which each produce at least $1million in annual sales on the SmartTrans e-Commerce platform.
SmartTrans anticipates that it will generate a double-digit percentage fee on sales through the platform, with the magnitude of the fee linked to the level of service being provided to specific merchants. The company also anticipates receipt of fees on processing payments and cross-border settlements.
SmartTrans is also planning to expand its SmartPay platform into the Australian market to process payments made by inbound Chinese tourists wanting to use their existing payment infrastructure – WeChat, UnionPay and AliPay – to procure goods and services when travelling in Australia, consequently establishing and forging a connection between Australian businesses and Chinese consumers. Funds raised under the placements referred to above will also be used to market and provide the SmartPay infrastructure to Australia-based retailers and tourism operators in Australia.
Sales of third-party Apps and subscription-based mobile billing is expected to continue but with the growing addition of e-Commerce billing and sales.
Whilst there is no official advice regarding the re-launch of online lotteries in China the company continues a watching brief on the lotteries sector and is positioning itself to service the requirements of this sector.
