OVERVIEW
The Company kicked the period off with an already expanded portfolio of premium Value-Added Services (VAS), Music and Gaming products and closed the year off with the addition of Sports content and an Emergency Airtime & Data lending service.
During the period, Streamplay focussed primarily on its strategic expansion across the Pacific region by concluding agreements with leading Telcos, solidifying its footprint and extending its reach to a total combined population of ~12.7m Pacific Islanders.
Streamplay continues to own and operate its online “Competitive Social Gaming Platform” technology and bespoke “Cloud Streaming” technology. This IP and related services enable cutting-edge online casual gaming tournament and competition facilitation platforms where subscribers enter tournaments, play their favourite casual games, and earn rewards and prizes, while engaging socially. Music and entertainment content streaming services continue to draw positive interest and are highly complementary to the Company’s gaming services.
Streamplay operates through B2B2C, B2C and B2B business models partnering with multinational MNOs in South Africa and the Pacific Islands with recently established strategic business development partnerships in India, the Middle East and North Africa.
Go-to-Market Strategies
Streamplay has three GTM strategies for its products and technology: -
-
B2B2C partnerships with MNOs
-
B2C business model leveraging direct selling by consumers
-
B2B distribution partnerships
Streamplay has a long established B2B2C partnership with MTN ( MTN Arena & Arena Plus ) and expanding partnerships with leading Pacific MNOs ( mGames & mJams ). During the period, the Company experienced strong growth in Arena Plus, introduced new product offerings ( SportWorldTV & AVT ) and drove MNO partnership expansion through further agreements with Bemobile Limited and Digicel Pacific.
Streamplay’s customer receipts during the Quarter were derived from user subscription revenues and token sales.
Streamplay Pacific - Operational Overview
Throughout the reporting period, Streamplay strategically expanded its operations into the Pacific region through key agreements with Bemobile Limited in Papua New Guinea (ASX:10 July 2023), a division of Telikom Limited, as well as Digicel Pacific in Vanuatu (ASX: 23 October 2023) and Samoa (ASX: 8 December 2023). These agreements, combined with existing partnerships in Fiji, American Samoa, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and Palau Telco, have solidified Streamplay's presence in the Pacific.
American Samoa emerged as a positive revenue generator with additional VAS products and SMS games, expected to expand Streamplay's user base, approved for release in 2024 by partner Bluesky.
Significant progress has been made in Papua New Guinea, improving invoice payment management and allowing the reactivation of paused marketing campaigns and subscription services. However, the Company is still working diligently towards reducing its aged-receivables. The introduction of new products, such as an SMS Quiz, aims to actively engage users and drive additional revenue. Formal agreements were also concluded to integrate Streamplay products onto handsets distributed by Telikom Limited, potentially reaching an additional ~10,000 subscribers per month through ~30 Bemobile Limited retail stores.
Tonga continued to be a consistent and significant revenue driver in the Pacific region, particularly through Streamplay's VAS and mJams products. The imminent introduction of mGames in Tonga is expected to further strengthen Streamplay's market position by seamlessly blending music and gaming, appealing to a broader audience.

==> picture [179 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
These partnerships in the Pacific region are crucial for Streamplay's expansion, offering a wide range of services tailored to the unique needs of the Pacific Islands, including Music, Gaming, and Sports content services. The strategic partnership agreements during the reporting period have expanded Streamplay's addressable audience of Pacific Islanders to approximately 12.7 million.
Before launching VAS or Premium Content subscription services in new territories, such as mJams or mGames, Streamplay is required to integrate its proprietary gBilling and Muscle platforms directly onto Telco managed infrastructure to enable direct airtime billing which comes at a high initial CAPEX cost. During the reporting period, the Company successfully brought these integrations in-house, resulting in a significant reduction in the cost of future integrations.
mJams (B2C2C) – Operational Overview
The Company’s popular music streaming service, mJams, maintained a consistent performance across the Pacific markets, with a thriving community now supporting over 2,700 signed artists who have submitted approximately 30,000 music tracks and 600+ music videos on the platform during the period.
During the period, Streamplay on-boarded approximately 100 new artists and labels from key areas such as Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji, including a significant partnership with a newly established music label from Hawaii and an agreement with New Zealand-based Precise Digital to add an extensive library of Polynesian content catering to the Tongan and American Samoan audiences. This has all resulted in the addition of a substantial volume and diverse range of new songs and videos to the mJams service.
The Company is proud to report that it has put more money into the pockets of talented artists with over $10,000 in royalties paid in the period. This not only incentivises artists to create more content on mJams, but to also market and promote mJams to a wider audience. mGames (B2B2C) – Operational Overview
The mGames branded version of Streamplay’s long-established ArcadeX white-label tournament technology service was successfully deployed in Papua New Guinea, American Samoa and Solomon Islands during the period. The soft launch of the service provided Streamplay’s product development team many insights and opportunities to further develop, iterate and deploy new content, engagement and re-engagement features to the service which not only benefits the ArcadeX technology as a whole, but all current and future partners of the service.
In a pioneering move within the Pacific gaming industry, mGames intensified its focus on organising regional gaming tournaments which are designed to stimulate competitive play and enhance community engagement within the already existing gaming ecosystem. Looking ahead the Company is implementing a dual-revenue model feature that will provide free access to limited features supported by ad-revenue. This approach will cater to a wider user base improving acquisition and still creating a pathway for free users to seamlessly transition to premium, subscription-based access to all platform features and an ad-free experience. Streamplay’s operational teams are also working closely with billing partners to offer an array of exciting and relevant prizes such as new smartphones or top-up airtime and data.
MTN Arena and Arena Plus (B2B2C) – Operational Overview
The Company demonstrated resilience amid significant economic challenges in the South African economy throughout the reporting period. Despite facing modest average monthly growth of approximately 3% on MTN Arena, Arena Plus achieved an impressive 107% growth, contributing to around 25% of the overall monthly MTN revenues by the period's end. The Company has also continued to maintain a close collaboration with MTN to enhance overall billable success.
During the period, Streamplay announced a substantial 67% price increase on MTN Arena, from R3 ($0.24) to R5 ($0.40) per day, effective mid-December 2023. This strategic move promptly yielded promising results, contributing to approximately 12% of the total monthly revenue generated in just over two weeks.

==> picture [179 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Additionally, Streamplay is actively preparing for a transformative shift by introducing alternative payment methods, including card payments, to address billing challenges and unlock new avenues for user acquisition beyond MTN’s 34.5 million mobile subscribers.
The Company’s Cloud Gaming technology continues to serve as a pivotal component of Streamplay's revenue diversification strategy garnering much interest in MENA. The launch of the feature-rich version of the Company's ArcadeX technology will coincide with the implementation of alternative payment methods, ultimately replacing the current MTN Arena portal. Streamplay earns 50% of the shareable revenue derived from the MTN Arena service and 60% of the shareable revenue derived from the Arena Plus service (ASX: 10 October 2022).
New Business Development Initiatives
Leveraging the momentum of our Pacific expansion, the Company actively pursued significant opportunities in new territories as part of our core growth strategy throughout the period by establishing strategic business development partnerships in India, the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe.
During the period, Streamplay designed and deployed Jabaa Games, a branded version of the new ArcadeX portal intended to serve as a central casual tournament and esports hub for the African market. The imminent launch of Jabaa Games in Senegal, following the anticipated conclusion of the first telco billing integration, is a milestone. Streamplay will share 50% of net revenue from Jabaa Games, after deductions, with our local partner who is fully funding marketing contributions.
As part of our innovative business development strategy, Streamplay concluded an agreement with AV Technologies Limited (“ AVT ”) on 14 December 2023 to launch Emergency Airtime and Data Lending into the Pacific market, allowing users to borrow voice or data bundles on credit. AVT will oversee service deployment and funding, while Streamplay focuses on marketing. Streamplay will earn 25% of shareable revenue from the service, after deducting local taxes, bad debts, MNO share, and AVT operating costs.
Additionally, the Company achieved the integration and product readiness of the SportWorld TV platform during this period. With its diverse range of sports content and coverage of international events, the platform is set to go live in American Samoa with subsequent rollouts in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
Streamplay’s Core Technology – R&D
Streamplay continues to lead the charge in cloud gaming and casual gaming platforms, with a robust suite of core technology that encompasses gaming, competition, tournaments, social engagement, profiles, messaging, and other vital features at the heart of our intellectual property.
During the period, the Company focussed on future-proofing all technology stacks accompanied by the development and deployment of innovative features across our cloud gaming divisions such as the pairing of existing Xbox or PlayStation controllers via Bluetooth, a crucial step in our roadmap of making Cloud Gaming as accessible and enjoyable as possible.
The Company’s Game Studio, comprising Unity and Unreal Engine game developers, continues to focus on optimising and developing reusable game engines to maximise creativity and diversity within our gaming catalogue in a cost-effective manner.
Streamplay’s engineering teams have also put a strong focus on reducing overall costs this period through the optimisation of services and by bringing its gBilling and Muscle integrations in-house to reduce the cost of future Pacific telco integrations.
Miggster Sale Summary During the period, Streamplay exercised the Miggster Call Option (ASX: 6 October 2023) in accordance with the terms of the Miggster Sale Agreement (ASX: 9 Mach 2022) following the Purchaser’s failure to pay the consideration balance of $2.45m owing within the defined settlement period.

==> picture [179 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
As a result, Streamplay exercised its right to purchase the Miggster Business (which comprises the source code, intellectual property, customer database and various moveable assets valued at approximately $118k) for the nominal fee of $1, whilst retaining the $2.55m in proceeds that had already been paid with no further obligations to the Purchaser.
The Company fully provisioned for non-payment of the consideration balance in its Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2023. Whilst Streamplay has incurred legal fees during the period to undertake the exercise and facilitate the return of the Miggster Business, it remains positive it will conclude the matter early in 2024.
Revenue
The increase in overall revenue from ordinary activities of 43% to $1,064,811 versus the prior period (2022: $609,631) is mainly the result of increased take up and collections from MTN Arena (+$586k) and the acquisition of the VAS business (+$479K).
Expenses and results
Overall operating expenses were lower but broadly consistent with the prior period $1.27M (2022: $1.48M). The Company incurred increased R&D expenses of $553k (2022: $432k) and lower consulting expenses of $227k (2022: $275k). The Company took on new employees from the Mobimedia acquisition ($114k 2022: nil) and provided for one-off unrecovered receivables ($313k).
The Company posted a loss of $1.62M after tax (2022: $576K loss) including a write off of goodwill of $800k on the Mobimedia acquisition. The 2023 result was also impacted by long lead times in terms of agreements with MNO partners and subsequent acceptance processes before the launch of new products into new territories. The Company has done significant once-off foundational work in this regard with greater revenues expected to flow in the next half year.
Outlook
The Company will continue to pursue its growth strategy of MNO expansion throughout the Pacific, Indian and MENA regions, however its primary focus in 2024 is to now capitalize on the key investments already made into Pacific MNO integrations throughout the period.
The Company remains committed to its partnership with MTN and aims to capitalise on the growing success of its bespoke Cloud Gaming and established ArcadeX services whilst pursuing additional revenue streams for the products.

DIRECTORS
The names of the Company’s Directors who held office during or since the end of the half-year: Mr Bert Mondello (Non-executive Chairman) Mr Philip Re (Non-executive Director) Mr Firdhose Coovadia (Non-executive Director)
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The consolidated operating loss after tax for the half-year was $1,615,995 (2022: $576,025).
During the period, the Company used its Streamplay Pacific business unit to foster strong relationships with leading Telcos across the Pacific region including: Telstra-owned Digicel Pacific (ASX: 18 May 2023), Telikom Limited (Papua New Guinea), Bluesky Communications (American Samoa), Tonga Communications (Tonga), Our Telekom (Solomon Islands) (ASX: 12 December 2022) and PNCC (Palau) (ASX: 22 May 2023).
Focussed on expansion in the Pacific, Streamplay has concluded further Digicel Pacific partnership agreements in Vanuatu (ASX: 23 October 2023) and Samoa (ASX: 8 December 2023). Significant time and effort was expended by the Company in introducing new products to market through onboarding processes with MNO partners. With the bulk of this work completed, the Company anticipates that new products will be launched into the relevant territories capitalising on the foundational work in the current half year.
The MNO partnerships in the Pacific region remain critical to Streamplay’s expansion and the delivery of a wide range of services tailored to the unique needs of the Pacific Islands, including Music, Gaming, and Sports content services. The diligent work over the last 6-9 months to conclude these strategic partnership agreements has grown Streamplay’s addressable audience of Pacific Islanders to approximately 12 million.
Streamplay continues to operative the Arena and Arena Plus products with MTN in South Africa. Streamplay is poised for a step change in the business with the pending introduction of alternative payment methods, including card payments, in the next half, thereby addressing historic and current billing challenges and unlocking new avenues for user acquisition.
Streamplay is a Company that owns and operates technology for online competitive social gaming platforms and cloud streaming. The Company offers a range of bespoke services that facilitate casual gaming tournaments and competitions, allowing subscribers to play their favourite games and earn rewards and prizes. Following the acquisition of the Mobimedia VAS business, Streamplay has added music and entertainment content streaming services to its offering. From its operations, the Company was able to report $1.06M in half year revenue.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
This half-year consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The half-year financial report does not include all of the notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2023 and any public announcements made by Streamplay Studio Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001. For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The half-year report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer and the cost incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the group identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability.
Rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date.

Revenue Recognition (continued)
Interest
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Sponsorship, marketing and advertising services revenue
Sponsorship, marketing and advertising services revenue is recognised at a point in time which the services have been provided and where the amount can be reliably estimated and is considered recoverable.
Contract Assets
Contract assets are recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred goods or services to the customer but where the consolidated entity is yet to establish an unconditional right to consideration. Contract assets are treated as financial assets for impairment purposes. The Company recognises the direct costs related to the generation of subscriptions (e.g. commissions) in line with the service period.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities represent the consolidated entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the consolidated entity recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the consolidated entity has transferred the goods or services to the customer. Contract liabilities relate to advance consideration received from subscription packages. The Company offers monthly, bi-annual and annual subscription packages to customers. As the subscription is used up on a monthly basis, the Company adjusted the yet to be earned revenue to contract liabilities until the performance obligation is satisfied.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
New Standards and Interpretations
In the half-year ended 31 December 2023, management has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2023. It has been determined that, there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised standards and interpretations on its business and therefore no change is necessary to accounting policies. Management has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2023. It has been determined that, there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
Comparatives
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Earnings per share comparatives have been adjusted to reflect the consolidation completed during the half year.

2 OPERATING SEGMENT
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors. During the half year the Company only operated in one segment and that was the development of online gaming platform.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF STREAMPLAY STUDIO LIMITED
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Streamplay Studio Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Streamplay Studio Limited and Controlled Entities does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the Streamplay Studio Limited financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of Streamplay Studio Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

==> picture [595 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
