MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022

 
 
 
Chairman’s report

Statutory net profit after tax for 

the 2022 financial year was the 

second highest on record at
$32.0m

I am pleased and proud to present my first annual report 
as chairman of MyState Limited. 

Despite ongoing challenges presented by the COVID 
pandemic, our company has continued to meet, and 
in some areas exceed, key goals and objectives – 
both financially and in terms of servicing the needs of 
our growing customer base. We completed the 2022 
financial year in a strong position, with increased market 
share and sound underlying profitability.

As many shareholders will be aware, MyState has 
in recent years undergone significant change in its 
business model. From our historical roots as a solid 
and trusted regional Tasmanian credit union, we are 
now well advanced in our successful transformation 
into a modern financial services company with a strong 
home base in Tasmania, a digital online focus and an 
expanding national customer base. 

The changes have so far delivered gratifying results – 
not least making MyState among the fastest growing 
banks in Australia, as measured by home loan market 
share, during the financial year. 

A key driver of this expansion has been our building 
of partnerships with independent mortgage brokers 
– committed financial professionals who are uniquely 
placed to meet the diverse needs of borrowers in their 
local communities across Tasmania and in the mainland 
states where we have been growing our business. 

Through this approach we remain true to our company 
ethos, which prioritises customer service.

I believe the results presented in this annual report 
provide further vindication of our approach.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022

 
Operating performance

Growth strategy

Statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) for the financial year 
was the second highest on record at $32.0 million,  
but down 11.9% from the previous financial year’s record 
$36.3 million. The reduction was largely due to higher 
operating costs associated with our strategic investment 
in distribution capacity, marketing and brand building  
to support our national growth strategy.

Earnings per share decreased 22.6% to 30.3 cents.

Core earnings (operating profit before restructure costs, 
bad and doubtful debts expense and income tax) fell  
by 17.4% to $44.3 million, with total operating income  
up 1.2% and operating expenses up 12.9%, reflecting  
the upfront investment in growth.

The cost-to-income ratio (excluding restructure costs  
in FY21) rose by 710 bps to 68.4% for the full year.

The total loan book grew by 24.1% to $6.94 billion, and 
home loan book growth of 25.5% equated to 3.1x system 
growth (+8.15%). Customer deposits grew by 25.1% to 
reach $5.6 billion.

TPT Wealth’s commercial loan book was up 33.9% to 
$354 million, reflecting improved distribution capability 
in our Tasmanian home market.

Dividend and capital

In the 2022 financial year, the Board determined 
to pay a final dividend of 11.5 cents per share, fully 
franked, equivalent to a payout ratio of 79.2% of 
after-tax earnings. This decision is in line with our 
current dividend guidance range and strikes the right 
balance between pursuing our growth strategy and 
rewarding shareholders with dividends. The Board also 
elected to fully underwrite any shortfall in the Dividend 
Reinvestment Plan to help support the next phase of 
balance sheet growth.

On 23 August 2022, MyState announced it had 
successfully priced $65 million of fully paid, mandatorily 
convertible subordinated perpetual debt securities 
that are eligible to be recognised as Additional Tier 1 
regulatory capital. The funds raised from these capital 
initiatives will be used to support future balance  
sheet growth. 

Our achievement of 14.8% growth in new bank 
customers in the past financial year, including  
12,827 new customers in the three eastern seaboard 
mainland states, is testament to the success of our 
multi-pronged expansion strategy in a highly  
competitive banking landscape. 

In addition to building and nurturing a network  
of mortgage brokers in mainland states, we have 
achieved consistently fast loan approval turnaround 
times and enhanced our digital banking platforms – 
while maintaining a highly visible and accessible  
branch network across Tasmania. 

TPT Wealth is also well placed for growth, following 
completion of a major brand and strategy review  
to take the 135-year-old wealth management business 
into the future. 

Our people

Since the easing of COVID restrictions, I’ve been able 
to meet more frequently with staff in Tasmania. Our 
employees continue to deliver for our customers and for 
each other. I am particularly grateful to team members 
for their feedback on ways in which we might further 
improve customer experience.

Our customers 

Through the outstanding efforts of employees in our 
Hobart-based call centre and branch networks, and our 
friendly customer support teams, we’ve maintained a 
high level of customer advocacy, ending FY22 with an 
internally measured net promoter score of +43, among 
the highest in the sector.

We also received industry acknowledgement of our 
recent achievements in the banking market, including 
awards for our competitive range of banking products 
and for our lending teams.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022

 
From our historical roots as a solid and trusted regional 
Tasmanian credit union, we are now well advanced in our 
successful transformation into a modern financial services 
company with a strong home base in Tasmania, a digital online 
focus and an expanding national customer base.

Retirement of Chairman and 
Managing Director

I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Miles 
Hampton, who retired as Chair of MyState Limited in 
March 2022, having served on the Board with distinction  
for 13 years, including nine as Chair. 

Together with former Managing Director and CEO 
Melos Sulicich, Miles played a pivotal role in the bank’s 
successful transition to a modern digital platform – without 
compromising the high-quality customer service that has 
made MyState Limited such a trusted and successful 
brand over so many years.

Miles has left us with solid foundations to continue growing 
this great business. I thank him for his friendship and 
guidance in my new role as Chair. 

Melos retired as Managing Director and CEO in December 
2021 after seven years in the role. Having announced his 
retirement in early 2020, he agreed to a request from 
the Board to stay on and guide the business through the 
challenges of the global pandemic. I thank him for this 
commitment, and for his key role in driving the evolution of 
MyState to a digital bank with a human touch.

Our bright future under a new 
Managing Director and CEO

Our new Managing Director and CEO, Brett Morgan,  
who assumed his role in January 2022, has a distinguished 
and successful history in banking, including international 
banking and Fintech experience. I know from personal 
experience that Brett stands for what he believes in, 
challenges the status quo and puts the customer at  
the centre of his decisions.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022

We have now built the platform for an ambitious growth 
program that will ensure we can provide the services that 
customers expect, career opportunities for our people and 
acceptable shareholder returns which can be maintained 
over the longer term.

We’re investing in branches and building a concept that 
delivers on our brand promise – the human touch. We want 
banking to be more personal, and we’re looking for ways to 
evolve our traditional branches. Deposit gathering  
is a key to our strategy and our branches play a leading 
role in delivering this growth. 

MyState’s investment in brand, customers, digital 
capabilities and simple, straightforward customer-focused 
processes puts us in a solid position to increase market 
share in a competitive banking landscape.

I thank my fellow directors for their commitment, 
contribution and support as we implement our  
ambitious growth strategy.

Finally, and most importantly, I’d like to thank you,  
our shareholders, for your continued support. I believe  
we have much to look forward to together.

With the support of our shareholders through a $55.5 
million capital raise in June 2021, we have successfully 
launched MyState’s 2025 growth strategy – an 
ambitious yet financially prudent plan for sustained 
expansion of our market share in deposits, lending and 
funds under management to 2025 and beyond. 

Having completed a full year since the launch of the 
growth strategy, the FY22 results detailed in this report 
confirm that the strategy is on track. While operating 
conditions remained highly competitive, we performed 
strongly, growing our customer base and significantly 
increasing our home loan book and customer deposits.

of Tasmania.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022

Our internally measured Net Promotor Score (NPS) 
of +43 reflects our commitment to putting positive 
customer experiences at the core of everything we do, 
and proves we are delivering the best possible customer 
service.

To support the execution of our growth strategy, we 
invested in additional marketing and distribution 
capacity and capability, as well as key digital 
and operational initiatives – while preserving and 
maintaining our company culture focused on delivering 
positive and intuitive customer experiences. 

This focus, together with our recent issue of Additional 
Tier 1 capital, will enable us to continue to build on 
our current growth momentum and create value for 
shareholders. Our strategy will also build on our strong 
financial position, demonstrated execution capability 
and leading customer advocacy to access growth 
opportunities from an increasingly geographically 
diverse customer base.

 
 
 Financial overview

Our financial results for FY22 were pleasing in the context 
of the major investments undertaken in our growth 
strategy – our net profit after tax of $32 million was the 
second highest on record. 

Total operating income was up 1.2% and other banking 
and wealth management-related income up 12.6%. 

While total loan book grew to $6.94 billion, net interest 
income dipped by 1.5%. This reduction was due primarily 
to a lower net interest margin reflecting above-system 
home loan book growth and a more competitive 
landscape, particularly for fixed rate home loans. These 
factors were partly offset by lower funding costs and a 
higher average balance sheet.

The upfront investment in our growth strategy resulted 
in an increase in the cost-to-income ratio to 68.4%, and 
pre-provision operating profit was 17.4% lower than the 
prior year. As foreshadowed at the time of the capital 
raise in June 2021, this investment in growth has led to 
dilution in earnings per share and return on equity for  
the year.

Accelerating home loan and 
retail deposit growth

Despite an increasingly competitive home lending 
environment, we achieved strong lending growth 
throughout FY22, with home loan applications up 
89% and settlements up 93%. MyState has also 
continued to provide strong customer service with no 
deterioration in home loan approval times despite the 
significant increase in application volumes. 

Customer deposits grew 25.1% in the 12 months to 
June 2022, and we achieved 14.8% growth in new-
to-bank customers. Our customer funding ratio 
remained stable, decreasing slightly from 73.4% to 
73.1%. Growth in retail customer numbers will continue 
underpin the competitive positioning of the business.

MyState Bank’s reliance on securitisation reduced 
during the year as a result of the increase in customer 
deposits but will remain an important source of 
funding and additional capital flexibility.

TPT Wealth transformation  
now allows scale

TPT Wealth’s operating income was up 8.8% on 
the prior year, driven by trustee services-related 
revenue. While funds under management dipped by 
3.9% to $1.062 billion, TPT Wealth has enhanced its 
distribution capacity and seen growth of 33.9% in the 
commercial lending book, the key asset class for our 
income funds.

In FY22, TPT Wealth became a signatory to the 
United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible 
Investment, a prerequisite to growing funds under 
management in target segments of the wealth market. 

Customer experience

We remain very pleased with our customer engagement. 
In short, our customers trust us. MyState staff seek 
to deliver a positive customer experience with every 
interaction, and deliver a human way to bank, enabled 
by technology. 

Our NPS remains among the highest in the sector. It 
reflects our efforts to empower customers both through 
digital services and care with a human touch.

Culture and community

Our unique and positive culture has been a key enabler 
of our results. While we have always been very customer-
focused, our culture of continuous improvement provides 
the capacity to adapt to new challenges and meet our 
customers’ evolving needs. 

The Tasmanian community is an integral part of 
MyState’s DNA. It defines who we are, what we stand for 
and our attitude, tone and style. In another big year for 
our community programs, we continued our sponsorship 
of Football Tasmania, the MyState Bank Student Film 
Festival and the MyState Bank Arena, while also joining 
the Tasmania JackJumpers as a major partner for their 
inaugural successful season.

I am very proud of the whole MyState team and want 
to especially thank our frontline branch and Tasmanian 
contact centre teams for the way they continue to serve 
our customers so brilliantly in these challenging times.

improving customers’ digital and human experience across  
both MyState Bank and TPT Wealth and will continue to simplify

Looking ahead

While the financial services environment continues to be

does not change.

Building on our strong financial position and the trust of

Create customer ‘wow’      Chase the better      Collaborate to win

We are executing the boldest strategy in our history with 
an overarching ambition to grow our share in deposits, 
lending, and funds under management. 

Our people and values underpin 
our strategy

The strategy will see us seeking to take advantage of 
our position as a respected and established digital 
challenger brand with demonstrated capability in 
making financial things simpler for our customers.

The unique combination of services offered by MyState 
Bank and TPT Wealth means we can help people across 
all life stages. We do this through our core offerings of 
everyday banking products, home and investment loans, 
asset management and commercial lending, and our 
trustee services business.

These products and services are delivered through our 
key channels. For MyState, this encompasses digital, 
mortgage brokers, mobile lenders in Tasmania, and our 
Tasmanian branches and contact centre. For our TPT 
Wealth business, our key channels include digital and 
relationship managers.

Having the right culture and capability is fundamental 
to the success of our growth strategy. We have invested 
in working with our people to develop and embed three 
core values to position ourselves to execute the 2025 
strategy:
 › ‘Create customer wow’ where we are designing 
and delivering exceptional customer experiences 
with a human touch. We can do this because we 
think and act in the best interests of our customers, 
appreciate their perspectives and are clear and 
trustworthy. 

 › ‘Chase the better’ is being bold so we can 

embrace the change that is continually required to 
succeed and always drive better outcomes. We are 
simplifying and digitising to deliver things faster 
and more accurately. 

 › ‘Collaborate to win’ is about openly sharing 

information so we can collectively make informed 
decisions, while caring for each other, our 
customers and other stakeholders.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022

 
We have reduced the number of administration and 
process-oriented roles and increased staff numbers in 
customer facing, servicing, and marketing roles to cater 
for increasing customer numbers at the service levels 
they want – in order to create ‘customer wow’. 

We are undertaking several programs to train and upskill 
staff, develop team capabilities and grow a company-
wide culture of continuous improvement and innovation 
– ‘chase the better’. This will attract new talent that 
promotes our growth objectives and ensures operational 
excellence focused on the value of ‘collaborate to win’. 

In FY22, through our commitment to culture and 
capability and new core values, we have increased our 
employee engagement score from 64% to 71%.

Our strategy is also supported by a strong risk culture 
that is embedded into the values of MyState employees, 
all of whom have undertaken risk management training.

This allows us to stay true to our human approach to 
banking and wealth management, backed by a strong 
digital capability and enhanced by our customer-facing 
digital proposition. 

Executing on our growth 
strategy

We have achieved much in the first year of our growth 
strategy. We have grown our home loan book by 25.5% 
and broadly matched this with growth in customer 
deposits of 25.1% over the year. We also increased new 
to bank customers by 14.8%. 

Alongside this, and in line with our strategy to increase 
direct lending into our funds, our TPT Wealth commercial 
loan book grew by 33.9%.

Our investment in the growth strategy is delivering.  
The investment into our distribution capability and 
capacity has delivered great momentum across both  
the MyState Bank and TPT Wealth lending books.  
The investment in marketing has supported the 
acceleration in customer and customer deposit growth.

The growth in TPT Wealth lending has directly 
contributed to improved returns for TPT Wealth 
investors.

We have also won a number of awards, reflecting the 
quality of our products and services, and the value we 
deliver to our customers and partners.

Increasing investment in ESG

For MyState, sustainability across our operations is about 
how we create value for all stakeholders over the long-
term. We are making a conscious effort to integrate 
tangible changes to the way we operate our business in six 
key areas.

The most pertinent to us are governance, sustainability, 
digital enablement and data security, supporting our 
customers, helping people be their best, and community 
investment.

During FY22 we calculated our baseline scope 1, 2 and 3 
greenhouse gas emissions footprint, as well as identifying 
and prioritising MyState’s climate change risks and 
opportunities in the short, medium and long term. 

We are also committed to calculating the financed 
emissions from our loan book in future periods. Once 
we understand our combined operational and financed 
emissions impact, we will explore appropriate emissions 
reduction targets and initiatives. 

During the year TPT Wealth also become a signatory of the 
Principles for Responsible Investment – or PRI. As a new 
signatory, TPT is fully committed to adopting the Principles 
and we expect to increase transparency in our use of ESG 
data over the next few years.

Outlook

As we look to the future, we will continue to execute 
our 2025 growth strategy , centred on increasing our 
market share across deposits, lending and funds under 
management. 

We are very focused on improving our customers’ digital 
and human experience across MyState Bank and TPT 
Wealth. And we will continue to simplify our products, 
processes and systems.

Though we are in uncertain times and a highly competitive 
market environment, we believe these conditions play to 
our strengths.

We are a unique, proven business, with a strong brand and 
position in Tasmania which has consistently delivered in the 
past, and is now delivering on the early stages of our 2025 
growth strategy.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022

 
MyState Bank

Over the course of its 64-year history, MyState Bank has built an 
enviable reputation as one of Tasmania’s most trusted financial 
institutions. Our status is built not just on dependability and strong 
financial performance, but on our attention to the individual needs 
and wants of our customers.

The human way to bank

Today, as we enter the next phase of our 
transformation into a modern nationwide banking 
operation centred on a digital offering, we have not 
forgotten the fundamental ‘human’ elements of our 
traditional business model that have underpinned our 
success in Tasmania over so many decades. 

The pursuit of our 2025 growth strategy into the 
mainland is predicated on bringing our large, loyal 
local customer base with us. This includes maintaining 
and constantly improving our traditional bank branch 
network across Tasmania, as well as our Hobart 
contact centre.

Beyond Tasmania, MyState is using the strength of 
its ‘human’ approach to expand nationally, with a 
particular focus on better online and app experiences 
for new and existing customers. We have also 
created valuable relationship-based partnerships 
with mortgage brokers across the eastern seaboard, 
building on the trust in our brand, people and 
products. 

The MyState approach, succinctly conveyed in 
our campaign slogan ‘the human way to bank’, 
is producing impressive results on many levels – 
not least in the rapid expansion of our home loan 
business. We’re now one of Australia’s fastest growing 
home loan lenders, with a fast loan approvals process 
that is consistently delivering conditional approval 
turnaround times of two  
business days.

The bank ended the FY22 with close to 160,000 
customers, including 19,500 who joined us over the 
previous 12 months. Our efforts are also reflected in 

strong industry recognition and customer surveys. 
In the past year we received industry awards for our 
competitive banking products, broker relations and 
excellence in our mortgage and lending teams. 

Though we remain a challenger brand with a 
traditional ‘human’ approach, we are proudly making 
big strides in a highly competitive banking industry. 

Customer-focused innovation

Over the past five years, MyState Bank has invested 
heavily in digital banking capabilities to automate back-
end processes and accelerate applications, providing a 
more seamless customer banking experience.

We’ve introduced AI and have over 30 robotics 
processes at work in our back office. Together, these 
changes have significantly improved customer wait 
times and accuracy and provided a platform for us to 
further scale up our operations.

Our increasing visibility in alternative channels, including 
mobile app and online, allows us to fuel growth outside 
our traditional core branch network, and is yielding 
strong results. More than 74% of our customers are now 
registered to use internet and mobile banking, while 58% 
of all customers are opting to receive their statements 
electronically. 

Our technology is helping 
customers save money and time

Now in its second year, MyState Bank’s real-time 
data analytics tool, Insights, has provided 330,000 
personalised messages to customers. The messages 
predict when bills are due, tell customers whether they 
have enough funds to cover upcoming expenses,

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022

 
Beyond Tasmania, MyState is using the strength of its ‘human’ 
approach to expand nationally, with a particular focus on better 
online and app experiences for new and existing customers.  
We have also created valuable relationship-based partnerships 
with mortgage brokers across the eastern seaboard, building on 
the trust in our brand, people and products.

Home loan book growth

We have successfully deployed the majority of the 
additional capital raised in June 2021, recording home 
loan book growth of 25.5%, which is significantly 
above industry average, and settlements up 93% on 
the previous corresponding period. MyState Bank’s 
continued focus on low-risk, owner-occupied lending 
underpins our balance sheet strength. 

Customer deposits growth

Customer deposits grew 25.1% to $5.6 billion during the 
year, as our increased marketing initiatives and brand 
presence on the mainland started to take effect.

Marketing investment in 
Tasmania and the mainland

While we have strong brand presence in our home 
state of Tasmania, we have significantly expanded our 
marketing activities across Australia.

Our sponsorship of the MyState Bank Arena and 
partnership with breakthrough National Basketball 
League team the Tasmania JackJumpers ensured our 
brand reached new audiences across Australia, with an 
overriding strategy of driving new customers, deposits 
and lending opportunities.

and also provide people with the ability to automatically 
move their money between accounts when  
conditions allow.

MyState Bank’s auto-savings tool has found and 
automatically saved almost $2 million for customers in 
the past year. On average, that works out at more than 
$2,000 for each customer subscribed to the program, 
with our best performer saving almost $15,000. 

Strong customer advocacy 

A major system upgrade has allowed MyState to 
construct a leading support operation for customers 
when they phone the bank, allowing for a more efficient 
use of resources and intuitive and quicker outcomes for 
customers.

Through the great efforts of both the Hobart contact 
centre, our branch networks and friendly support teams, 
we’ve maintained our strong customer advocacy scores. 
Supported by our focus on the ‘human way to bank’, we 
ended FY22 with an internally measured net promoter 
score of +43, among the highest in the sector.

Investment in the broker 
channel

Our focus on building and nurturing our mainland 
mortgage broker network and on improving loan 
approval turnaround times (which are among the best in 
the industry) has helped us to improve market share in a 
highly competitive banking landscape. 

The geographic diversification of our home loan book 
continues to improve, with 71.5% of settlements and 
64.5% of our home loan book being from outside  
of Tasmania.

Approach to risk

Our risk management frameworks ensure risks are identified, managed 
and mitigated on a timely basis. We undertake regular reviews of the 
risk frameworks to meet our regulatory obligations and deliver the best 
outcomes for our customers and stakeholders. 

have further strengthened our risk frameworks and 
enhanced the integrity of our commitments to our 
customers.

We also continued to build a culture of risk 
accountability among our employees, facilitating 
training programs, alerting employees to indicators 
of risk, initiating timely closure of risk incidents, and 
providing recognition for employees who championed 
our risk principles. The maturity of our ‘3 lines of 
defence’ framework was also enhanced through the 
operation of Divisional Risk Committees.

Throughout the year, we also kept our Pandemic 
Response Plan active, serving our customers without 
disruption, while continuing to support employees 
during periods of absence. Vulnerable customers 
were supported via our customer contact centre and 
branches, and we remained conscious of our duty of 
care to customers who need  
additional assistance. 

The MyState loan portfolio grew strongly during the 
year within Board approved risk limits, and this has 
been a key factor in maintaining the quality of the loan 
portfolio. The Bank’s prudent lending practices helped 
us deliver arrears outcomes considerably below the 
benchmark of our regional peers and the major banks.

Management of financial and non-financial risks is a 
key focus of our business, and an integral part of the 
platform upon which we’ve built our 2025  
growth strategy. 

Throughout FY22, we continued to embed a strong 
culture of risk awareness and accountability across 
the organisation. 

The risk strategy for the past year was built on  
three pillars:
 › Promotion of risk management principles to 

support a healthy risk culture

 › A Risk Framework that is appropriate to the 

size and complexity of the business, and that is 
dynamic, iterative and responsive to change
 › Digitisation and simplification of risk management 

processes to support business growth and 
productivity

Our risk management frameworks ensure risks are 
identified, managed and mitigated on a timely basis. 
We undertake regular reviews of the risk frameworks 
to meet our regulatory obligations and deliver the 
best outcomes for our customers and stakeholders. 
We continue to enhance our risk controls to manage 
our information security, cyber and fraud risks while 
supporting and protecting our customers. 

During the past year, we implemented significant 
initiatives in response to a changing regulatory 
environment. The initiatives included new design and 
distribution principles, enhanced customer complaints 
processes, anti-hawking controls and enhanced 
breach reporting obligations. These measures

TPT Wealth

Our commercial lending business had an outstanding year, with 
the commercial loan book growing by 33.9%, following further 
investment in distribution capacity.

TPT Wealth delivered a solid performance in FY22, 
with an 8.8% increase in operating income to 
$14.8 million achieved amid the implementation of 
significant positive changes across the business. 
TPT Wealth is now well positioned for further 
growth through operational efficiencies, product 
enhancements and an expansion of business 
development resources across Tasmania and eastern 
seaboard states.

Our managed funds division was strengthened after 
investors voted in November 2021 to approve changes 
to the Select Mortgage Fund, resulting in a more 
differentiated offering of income funds to investors. 
The quality of these funds was acknowledged by the 
independent SQM Research, which gave all three of 
our income funds four-star ‘superior’ ratings  
during FY22. 

In line with the mainland digital growth strategy for 
MyState Bank, TPT Wealth continued to expand its 
presence online with growing investor appetite for 
digital interactions leading to the increasing uptake of 
the self-serve investor portal.

TPT Wealth also responded during the year to 
increasing investor demand for consideration of 
ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues 
in investment. We were pleased to formally commit 
to an ESG agenda, becoming a signatory to the 
United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible 
Investment.

Our commercial lending business had an outstanding 
year, with the commercial loan book growing by 
33.9%, following further investment in distribution 
capacity. The business was successfully relaunched 
into the Tasmanian market with a series of innovative 
new commercial lending products, and an expansion 
of our client relationship team across our Hobart, 
Launceston and Burnie offices. 

Our Trustee Services business also experienced strong 
growth, with a 40% increase in the number of  
estates managed.

2022 ESG update

Our approach

As a proud Tasmanian company, we understand 
the importance of our operations mitigating our 
environmental, social and governance impacts. 

Our materiality assessment represents the ESG  
issues that matter most to our organisation.  
In 2021, six key materiality issues were validated  
and prioritised by MyState.

In 2022, with support from internal stakeholders, 
we have further explored these material issues to 
better understand how we are creating value for our 
stakeholders over the long-term, and to integrate 
tangible changes to the way we operate our business 
in these areas.

This has meant an increased ability to more accurately 
understand and calculate the impact our business 

How we listen and engage

operations have on the environment – the ‘E’ in ESG 
- through our inaugural Task force on climate-related 
financial disclosures (TCFD). TCFD is a globally 
recognised standard set of recommendations used 
by more than 3,000 leading organisations that either 
prepare or use financial disclosures, with the aim of 
building a more resilient financial system through 
climate-related disclosure. 

Importantly, this focus has not been at the exclusion 
of social and governance considerations– the ‘S’ and 
‘G’ –as our stakeholders also want to know what we 
are doing to address matters such as human rights, 
customer vulnerability and the communities in which 
we operate.

The quantitative measures of ESG will provide the 
foundations for us to integrate them into our  
business operations.

MyState’s stakeholder groups include customers, shareholders, investors, our people, communities, regulators, 
government and suppliers. In FY22 we continued to capture the voices of our stakeholders through formal and 
informal feedback methods.

At 30 June 2022 the MyState Bank loan book size was $6.9b and TPT Wealth had funds under management of $1.06b. 

We do not lend to coal, oil or gas projects.

This year, MyState calculated its baseline Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions associated with the activities and facilities 

that support the business’ everyday operations. 

FY21 emissions calculations were prepared in accordance with Australian government standards, namely the Climate 

Active Carbon Neutral Standard for Organisations, and reflect the consolidated group (excluding the MyState 

Foundation). This calculation does not include financed emissions. 

MyState recognises the importance of understanding the emissions associated with our lending portfolio and 

investments and will be calculating our financed emissions in future periods. Once we understand our combined 

operational and financed emissions impact, we will explore appropriate emissions reduction targets and initiatives. 

As our response to climate change evolves, we will identify metrics to track performance against climate commitments 

and most material climate risks and opportunities.

its wholly-owned subsidiaries MyState Bank Limited 
(MyState Bank) and TPT Wealth Limited (TPT Wealth).

MyState Bank delivers home lending, savings and

The Directors have declared a fully franked final dividend 
of 11.5 cents per share. The dividend will be payable on 
7 September 2022 to shareholders on the register at the 
record date of 19 August 2022, taking the dividend for

Operating and financial review 

Financial performance

The Group recorded a net profit after income tax for 
the year ended 30 June 2022 of $32.0m, a decrease of 
11.9% on the prior corresponding period (pcp) to 30 June 
2021 of $36.3m.

Earnings per share (EPS) was 30.34 cents per share 
(FY21: 39.18 cents per share) and return on equity (ROE) 
was 7.7%. In June 2021, ordinary share capital of $55.5m 
was raised to rapidly accelerate MyState’s growth 
strategy. At the time, the Board indicated that EPS 
and ROE would be diluted in FY22 as the new capital 
is deployed to support home loan book growth and 
operating expenses would increase to support customer, 
lending and deposit growth.

FY22

The total loan book (excluding capitalised acquisition 
costs) grew $1,347m or 24.1% on pcp. The home loan 
book grew $1,390m (25.5% or 3.1 times system growth) 
during the period. MyState will continue to target 
home loan portfolio growth momentum with continued 
discipline and focus on asset quality.

Pre-provision operating profit of $44.3m decreased 
17.4% on pcp, largely driven by an increase in operating 
costs of $11.0m or 12.9%. MyState’s 2025 strategy to 
accelerate growth and create scale led to increased 
investment in distribution capacity, investment in 
building the MyState brand on the mainland and 
customer acquisition-focused marketing. The strategy to 
grow market share in deposits, lending and funds under 
management (FUM) continues to gain momentum, as 
evidenced by loan book and customer deposit growth, 
and a 14.8% uplift in new customers joining MyState in 
the past 12 months. 

The Momentum Intelligence’s 2022 Third Party 
Lending annual survey of 1,050 residential mortgage 
brokers ranked MyState Bank as the strongest third-
party provider of 14 small banks, testament to the 
trusted relationship MyState has built with the broker 
community. MyState was also awarded Mozo’s 
‘Expert’s Choice Award’ in the ‘First Home Buyer Loan’ 
category and for the ‘Bonus Saver’ product, further 
acknowledging the successful execution of the strategy 
combined with a relentless focus on customers.

Despite a period of significant change and the 
challenges presented by COVID-19 over the last  
two years, MyState’s internally measured customer  
net promoter score was +43 at 30 June 2022 and 
remains strong.

MyState Bank

Exceptional lending growth and high  
credit quality maintained in FY22

MyState Bank’s loan portfolio grew 24.1% from 30 June

Housing Loans

Other Loans (personal / business / overdrafts)

Impairment recoveries were $0.2m lower than pcp,  
reflecting the reduction in the forward looking 
economic overlay at 30 June 2021, as a result of the 
improved economic outlook at that time.

MyState’s 30 and 90-day arrears remain below industry 
benchmarks at 0.41% and 0.20% respectively (30 June 
2021: 0.55% and 0.24%).

Central banks globally have a fine balancing act ahead, 
to manage inflation down without stalling economic 
activity and pushing economies into recession.

While arrears are lower than 12 months ago, the flow on 
effect of recent increases in the official cash rate, and 
expected future increases, may not become visible for 
months. Consequently, at 30 June 2022, the forward 
looking economic overlay of $0.9 million (forms part 
of the collective provision for impairment) remains 
unchanged from 31 December 2021.

The Bank remains focused on low-risk, owner- 
occupied lending with a loan to valuation ratio (LVR)  
of less than 80%.

Exposure to investor and interest-only lending remains 
relatively low compared to sector averages.

The increase in loans with an LVR greater than 90% 
since June 2020 reflects the success of the Bank’s 
participation in the Federal Government’s First 
Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS) which is all 
owner-occupied lending. The FHLDS is an Australian 
Government initiative to support eligible customers 
purchase their first home sooner with as little as  
a 5% deposit.

The National Housing Finance and Investment 
Corporation (NHFIC) provides a guarantee of up to  
a maximum amount of 15% of the value of a property  
(as assessed by MyState) purchased under the scheme.

Net interest margin (NIM) trend

Net interest income was down $1.7m or 1.5% on pcp 
with the fall in NIM reflecting competition in the market 
for new home loans, partly offset by lower funding costs 
and above-system loan book growth. Average NIM 
decreased by 29 bps to 1.67% on pcp. NIM in the month 
of June 2022 was 1.57% (30 June 2021: 1.89%), in line 
with average NIM for the second half.

1.86%

1.96%

Customer deposits increased by 25.1% in the period 
driven by growth in the award winning Bonus Saver 
Account with the majority of customers acquired via 
digital and online channels.

Importantly, the Bank’s online originated deposit 
portfolio grew an additional $92m to $901m (11.4%) 
from 30 June 2021.

MyState Bank’s reliance on securitisation funding 
reduced during the period as a result of the increase  
in customer deposits, but remains an important source 
of funding.

Non-interest income from banking activities increased 
by $2.2m or 16.6% on pcp, as a result of loan related 
transaction fees, reflecting the accelerated growth of 
the loan book.

income in line with last year and Trustee Services 
related income up 29.4%. Funds under management 
were marginally below the previous year.

The ongoing transformation of the TPT Wealth business 
is seeing distribution capacity enhanced in the home 
market of Tasmania, coupled with strategic investments 
in digital capabilities and a new cloud lending platform.

FUM decreased $43m from 30 June 2021 with the 
Income Funds declining by $34m and the Growth  
Funds by $15m, partly offset by an increase in the  
At Call Fund ($6m).

The TPT Fixed Term Fund, Select Mortgage Fund 
and Long Term Fund have been awarded a 4.0 Star 
‘superior’ rating by independent research house SQM 
Research, recognising TPT Wealth’s highly experienced 
investment team, strong credit credentials and more 
than 40-year track record of funds management.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
Capital position

The Group’s total capital ratio decreased to 12.41% at 30 June 2022 and the Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio 
decreased to 10.53%, as the $55.5 million of capital raised in June 2021 was deployed to support lending growth.

Tier 2 capital was bolstered by the issue of $25 million of 10-year subordinated notes in November 2021.

MyState expects further capital flexibility will be provided by the inaugural issue of Additional Tier 1 capital and 
further securitisation.

The Group is on track to meet the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority’s (APRA) finalised new bank capital 
framework requirements, effective from 1 January 2023 onwards. Using the 30 June 2022 capital position, on a pro-
forma basis, the Group expects a net uplift in the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 30 to 40 bps and the total capital 
ratio of 60 to 70 bps, net of the 1% increase in the counter-cyclical capital buffer.

Rounding of amounts

MyState seeks to make a genuine difference  
to customers and the communities within which  
they operate.

Since 2001, the MyState Foundation has awarded more 
than $2.5 million in grants to help more than 90 not-for-
profit organisations in Tasmania with a focus on helping 
young Tasmanians reach their full potential.

Outlook

The Board-endorsed plan to accelerate the growth in 
lending has gained early momentum. In the medium 
term, the business expects to realise the benefits from 
its investment in digital capabilities, distribution and 
marketing to grow the customer base, while maintaining 
a strong risk culture to manage the risks associated 
with an uncertain economic environment.

Lead auditor’s independence declaration 
under section 307C of the Corporations  
Act 2001

The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out 
on page 39 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for 
the year ended 30 June 2022.

In accordance with applicable financial reporting 
regulations and current industry practices, amounts 
in this report have been rounded-off to the nearest 
one thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. Any 
discrepancies between totals and sums of components 
in charts contained in this report are due to rounding.

Events subsequent to balance date

On 8 August 2022, the MyState Limited Group 
announced that it had mandated Westpac and Ord 
Minnett to engage with investors with the aim to 
investigate the prospect of issuing a capital note that 
will qualify as Additional Tier 1 regulatory capital.

In the opinion of the Directors, other than as noted 
above, there has not arisen, in the period between the 
year ended 30 June 2022 and the date of this report, 
any other material item, transactions or event that is 
likely to significantly affect the operations of the Group.

Environmental regulation

The Group is not subject to any significant 
environmental regulation. TCFD report outlining 
MyState’s baseline scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse 
gas (GHG) emissions associated with the activities 
and facilities that support the businesses’ everyday 
operations, is included as an ESG update in MyState’s 
annual report.

The Company has paid, or agreed to pay, a premium in relation to a contract insuring the Directors and Officers 
listed in this report against those liabilities for which insurance is permitted under Section 199B of the Corporations 
Act 2001.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the relevant period, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an Officer

to their statutory duties. Further details are set out in note 8.2 to the financial statements.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and, in accordance with 
written advice provided by the Group Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services 
during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements 
of the Corporations Act 2001, for the following reasons:
 › All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and 
have been reviewed by the Group Audit Committee, to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and 
objectivity of the auditor; and

 › The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence  

as they related to technical disclosure issues.

Remuneration Report  

Letter from the Chair of the Group People, Remuneration and Nominations Committee

Dear Shareholder,

The 2022 financial year (FY22) marked a significant year of change for MyState Limited, the first year of a multi-
year growth strategy. In May 2021, the company announced a substantial capital raise to accelerate its growth, 
with implications in the short, medium and longer term for the financial performance of MyState. The capital raise 
in 2021 received strong support from shareholders, with the accelerated growth strategy and its performance 
implications forming the backdrop to executive remuneration arrangements and outcomes at MyState for several 
years to come. On behalf of the Board, I present to you the Company’s Remuneration Report (Report) for FY22. 

In broad terms, the purpose of MyState’s Executive remuneration framework has always been to facilitate long-
term sustainable growth for MyState’s shareholders. This includes ensuring levels of remuneration are market-
competitive to attract, motivate and retain suitably qualified individuals focused on MyState’s strategic priorities. 
The performance conditions and measurement timeframes are consistent with the objective of long-term 
sustainable growth, and our performance targets are designed to be challenging. The payment vehicles and 
ownership requirements are designed to align executive and shareholder interests, with the deferral and vesting 
periods designed for appropriate risk management and to be consistent with the regulatory frameworks in which 
MyState conducts business. 

The Report describes the Group’s Director and Executive remuneration frameworks and how they contribute  
to the execution of our business strategy and support our values and desired culture. 

Our financial performance for FY22 assessed against our key financial metrics was solid in the context of a long 
period of COVID-related uncertainty, together with investment in capacity and capability to drive our accelerated 
growth strategy. In the end result, however, the company-wide financial measures which are gateways for the 
payment of short term incentives were not met.

FY22 Executive remuneration framework 

It may be helpful to recap the design principles that 
underlie the MyState Executive remuneration framework, 
further details of which are set out in the Report: 
 › Executive remuneration arrangements should be  
fit-for-purpose for MyState, supporting MyState’s 
overall business strategy and appropriate for the size 
and complexity of the business.

 › Remuneration should be competitive in the market to 
ensure that MyState is able to attract, motivate and 
retain talented executive leaders.

 › Remuneration, particularly MyState’s incentive 

arrangements, should be aligned to the interests  
of MyState’s shareholders.

 › Executive remuneration should drive appropriate 
behaviours and support the desired culture. 
 › Remuneration should be simple and transparent.  

 › Short-term incentive: STI performance is measured 
over a single financial year. STI payments are subject 
to financial and non-financial gateways and are also 
subject to overriding Board discretion.

 › Long-term incentive: MyState has a long-term 

incentive (LTI) arrangement that has been designed 
to align executives with long-term value creation for 
shareholders. The LTI design also aims to provide 
executives with a simple, transparent and meaningful 
incentive. LTI performance is measured over three 
years with an additional holding lock of a further two 
years. 

 › Minimum shareholding requirements: consistent with 
ASX practice, MyState has minimum shareholding 
requirements for its Non-executive Directors and 
Chief Executive Officer, such that each individual 
is required to build and maintain a minimum level 
of shareholding in MyState to align their interests 
with shareholders. The minimum shareholding 
requirement is determined by reference to base fees 
or fixed reward.

We hope that you find this brief overview helpful in understanding the context in which the Report was prepared. 
We welcome your feedback. Please email any comments to secretariat@mystatelimited.com.au

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
 
Our remuneration framework

Philosophy and principles

Directors’ remuneration

MyState’s non-executive directors (NEDs) are paid 
annual fixed fees, including statutory superannuation, for 
their services. They are also entitled to reimbursement of 
reasonable expenses. Unlike executives, non-executive 
directors do not receive short-term or long-term 
incentive payments. The Board determines the level of 
fees paid to non-executive directors according to two 
main criteria:
 › The level of skill and experience required to 

conduct their roles

 › The level of fees needed to attract and retain 

talented non-executive directors.

The Board also obtains independent advice from 
remuneration consultants to guide its deliberations 
on director fees. The aggregate remuneration paid 
to all NEDs, including statutory superannuation, may 
not exceed the amount fixed by shareholders, which is 
currently $950,000 per year. This total amount has now 
remained unchanged for 10 years. 

Each NED currently receives a base fee of $110,000  
per annum, and the Chairman receives $236,500  
per annum. Chairs of Board committees (other than  
the Board Chair) receive an additional $10,000  
per annum, the Deputy Chair receives an additional 
$10,000 per annum.

MyState Limited’s remuneration policy is founded 
on a company-wide commitment to transparency, 
ethical practices and the creation of long-term value. 
The framework is designed to encourage and reward 
actions by executives that deliver positive results 
for both customers and shareholders through good 
discipline and strong financial performance, prudent risk 
management, and the maintenance and enhancement 
of our company’s earned and valued reputation for 
trustworthiness in the market for financial services. 
The remuneration policy is designed to support these 
objectives through: 
 › Appropriately structured performance-based 

pay for executives and other eligible employees, 
including short-term and long-term incentive plans

 › Recognition and reward for strong performance 
linked to both favourable customer experiences 
and positive sustainable returns to shareholders
 › A thoughtful balancing of the company’s capacity 
to pay and our need to attract and retain excellent 
staff at all levels

 › Careful structuring of remuneration for our 

risk and financial control managers, including 
performance-based payments, to preserve their 
independence in carrying out their important roles

 › Board discretion over variable remuneration 
generally, including discretion to apply malus 
(reduction or forfeiture) to executive incentives, 
when appropriate, to preserve the interests of 
shareholders and customers and avoid unexpected 
or unjust outcomes

 › Enhancement of risk management and 

governance by maintaining separate structures  
for non-executive director remuneration and 
executive remuneration.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
 Managing Director and executive remuneration

Executive remuneration mix

MyState Limited’s remuneration packages for the Managing Director and executives who report directly to the 
Managing Director are structured to support the company’s ability to attract and retain talented and experienced 
leaders, and to provide incentives and rewards for high performance and achievement of the company’s goals and 
objectives over the short, medium and long-term. Executive remuneration packages comprise three elements: total 
fixed reward (TFR), cash-based short-term incentives (STI) and equity-based long-term incentives (ELTIP). 

1. Total fixed reward TFR 

2. Cash-based short-term 
incentives STI 

3. Equity-based long-term 
incentives ELTIP 

Total fixed reward (TFR) for executives, 
including the Managing Director, 
comprises a fixed base salary, 
superannuation contributions and 
optional salary sacrifice. The level of 
payment is set with reference to:

importance of the role

 › The relative strategic value and 
 › The complexity and breadth of the 
 › Experience and skills required
 › External market considerations for 

role

comparable positions

Base salary rates are set with a view 
to attracting and retaining talented 
and culturally aligned executives, 
while delivering value to shareholders. 
Executive salaries are periodically 
reviewed to take into account external 
market conditions, the business-critical 
nature of the role, and individual 
performance.

Long-term incentive payments to 
executives, in the form of company 
shares or performance rights, under 
the Executive Long-Term Incentive 
Plan (ELTIP), exist to encourage and 
culturally embed long-term thinking and 
risk management among our company 
leaders. Long-term planning plays an 
indispensable role in preparing the 
company to meet future challenges in an 
evolving financial services marketplace, 
and to take advantage of new 
opportunities as they arise. MyState’s 
ongoing transition to a national, 
digital business model exemplifies this 
approach – one designed to meet the 
ever-changing needs of customers 
and to sustain long-term value for 
shareholders. 

Cash-based short-term incentives 
(STIs) provide appropriate rewards to 
executives for meeting or exceeding 
performance targets and achieving our 
core company goals – both financial 
and non-financial. To this end, STI 
performance measures and associated 
targets are set with reference to the 
drivers of annual company performance 
and the roles of individual executives in 
achieving positive business outcomes. 
The level of STI assigned to executives 
is calculated annually using an STI 
‘scorecard’, which comprises multiple 
performance elements. These include 
financial, growth, cultural, risk and 
compliance, reputational, customer and 
stakeholder measures. Financial and 
non-financial gateways serve to balance 
reward with MyState’s profitability 
and to avoid rewarding conduct that 
is inconsistent with our values and risk 
framework. The STI is calculated as a 
percentage of TFR for each role, and the 
maximum percentage of TFR payable as 
an STI is determined by the Board.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
Remuneration governance

Company performance

A Group People, Remuneration and Nominations 
Committee – appointed by the MyState Board and 
comprising four non-executive directors – assists the 
Board in discharging its remuneration governance 
responsibilities. Among a range of functions,  
the committee reviews and makes recommendations  
to the Board on: 
 › Remuneration arrangements for directors, the 
Managing Director and other executives

 › Executive incentives, including setting gateways, 
performance measures and targets at the 
commencement of the performance period, 
and assessing performance outcomes against 
these measures and targets at the conclusion 
of the performance period, and making 
recommendations for payment or otherwise
 › The appropriate exercise of Board discretion on 

variable remuneration matters.

The committee assists the Board to meet 
remuneration obligations required by APRA Prudential 
Standards and the Banking Executive Accountability 
Regime (BEAR). The committee also aims to eliminate 
conflicts of interest from decisions concerning 
executive remuneration. To this end, no executive is 
directly involved in deciding their own remuneration. 

MyState’s financial performance in recent years 
has helped to inform the level of incentive-based 
remuneration – both short-term and long-term – 
provided to the Managing Director and other key 
executives in the year to 30 June 2022. 

As shown below, the company has performed 
consistently across various financial indicators in the 
period from FY18 to FY22.

In May 2021, the company announced a substantial 
capital raise and announced its intention to accelerate 
growth. At the time of the capital raising the company 
explained the anticipated effects of the growth strategy 
on short, medium and longer term financial measures:

The 2021 - 2025 strategy has the following objectives:
 › Accelerated home loan and retail deposit growth 
over the medium term, while maintaining asset 
quality

 › Improved operating leverage (cost to income ratio) 

in line with business growth

 › ROE accretion as capital is deployed
 › Sustainable growth in EPS over the medium term.
In FY22, ROE and EPS are expected to be diluted as 
capital is deployed and increased operating expenses 
continue to deliver balance sheet growth.

 Short-term incentive (STI) payments

How STI payments are calculated

Each year, the Group People, Remuneration and 
Nominations Committee (the Committee) recommends 
to the Board key performance indicators (KPIs) for 
the Managing Director with reference to short-term 
incentive payments. The Managing Director, in turn, 
recommends KPIs for executives to the Committee, 
which then makes a recommendation to the Board. 
KPIs for STI payments include both financial and non-
financial metrics that are considered consistent with the 
business plans of the Group and also supportive of the 
desired culture of the Group.

At the end of each financial year, the Managing Director 
assesses the performance of the executives against their 
KPIs and makes a recommendation for each executive 
to the Committee. Simultaneously, the Committee 
assesses the performance of the Managing Director 
against the relevant KPIs. After consultation with the 
chairs of the Group Audit Committee and the Group Risk 
Committee, the Committee recommends STI payment 
amounts for approval by the Board.

The Board retains complete discretion over STI 
payments, including the right to reduce or forfeit 
payments as it sees fit. The annual STI component may 
be reduced or forfeited if the company, or an individual 
executive, does not meet the ‘gateway’ criteria approved 
by the Board at the start of the financial year.

Threshold performance levels for risk and compliance, 
executive behaviour standards and profit must be met 
or exceeded for payments to be made under the STI 
program. Executives are assessed as a group with 

The 3 Cs - MyState Values

reference to performance on net profit, and on risk 
and compliance – including corporate reputational 
matters. Individual executive behaviours are assessed 
against the MyState values, and individual executives’ 
risk and compliance accountabilities are measured via a 
scorecard comprising several indicators. The Board has 
the discretion to reduce the STI (including to zero) if any 
of these gateways are not met.

The STI scorecard includes a mix of financial and non-
financial metrics, with the relative weightings varying 
between different executive roles. In FY22, the highest 
weighting for financial metrics – 65% – has been 
applied to the Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer 
and General Manager Banking, while the lowest financial 
metrics weighting – 40% – has been applied to the 
Chief Risk Officer. The scorecard comprises a diverse 
list of both quantitative and qualitative performance 
measures (or criteria), which have been chosen with a 
view to driving positive outcomes not just for MyState 
shareholders but also for customers, employees and 
other key stakeholders of the organisation. 

Quantitative performance measures include earnings 
per share, net interest margin, funds under management, 
loan book growth, net customer growth and employee 
engagement. Executives are also individually assessed 
with reference to their performances as leaders in their 
specific roles, and to their individual contributions to the 
future development of the organisation. The Board has 
the discretion to vary STI outcomes to reflect differing 
levels of performance.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
2021-2022 ‘gateway’ criteria for short-term incentive payments

Gateway 

Assessment measures 

1. Group risk 

STI may be reduced or forfeited at the Board’s discretion if MyState Limited does not meet compliance 
and risk management obligations, if its reputation is materially damaged,  
if capital adequacy and liquidity fall below prudential requirements, or if an executive does not meet their 
personal accountability BEAR obligations.

2. Individual risk 

If an individual’s Risk Scorecard does not meet the standard required, then STI may be reduced or 
forfeited.

3. Net profit after 
tax (NPAT) 

4.  Values and 
behaviours 
(individual) 

If NPAT is below FY22 budget, STI may be reduced or forfeited. 

If an individual fails to meet or exceed expectations as assessed against the MyState values,  
the Board may exercise its discretion for STI to be reduced or forfeited.

The Board retains the residual discretion not to award or pay STIs even if the criteria have been met if, in its 
reasonable view, the needs of the Group require this.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
STI outcomes for 2021-2022 continued

The Board has determined that the gateway criteria 
for payment of the STIs for NPAT have not been met 
for FY22. Performance against three company wide 
performance measures – earnings per share, net 
interest margin and funds under management have 
also not been met. However, it was pleasing to note that 
the following key non-financial measures – employee 
experience score (which uses the results of our annual 
employee engagement survey) and net customer 
growth were both higher than the previous year.

It is important to note that MyState’s growth strategy 
is on track, with strong growth in customer numbers 
and significant above system growth in our home loan 
portfolio. NPAT has been impacted by a decline in 
net interest margin driven by strong competition for 
new home loans and customer preference for lower 
margin fixed rate loans in the first half of the financial 
year. In addition, the market has seen elevated levels 
of refinancing activity for most of the year leading 
to retention discounting and a range of cash back 
incentives for new lending.  

As foreshadowed at the time of the capital raise in June 
2021, as capital has been deployed both earnings per 
share and return on equity have been diluted in FY22. 
Management and the Board remain confident that 
return on equity and earnings per share will grow over 
the medium term.

If the results on which any STI reward was based are 
subsequently found by the Board to have been the 
subject of deliberate management miss-statement, 
error, misrepresentation or act or omission, which the 
Group People and Remuneration Committee or the 
Board (acting reasonably) considers would have resulted 
in the KPIs not being satisfied, or there is otherwise  
a reward decision incorrectly made, the Board may 
require repayment of the whole or part of the relevant 
STI, in addition to taking any other disciplinary actions. 

Payment offers

Details of STI payment offers for the 2021/2022 financial 
year and the 2020/2021 financial year are set out below.

Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan (ELTIP)

How the ELTIP works 

The Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan (ELTIP) was 
established by the Board to encourage and motivate 
the Managing Director and other eligible executives 
by rewarding them with company shares for helping to 
create long-term value for the company’s shareholders. 
Until 30 June 2021, participating executives were 
allocated fully paid ordinary shares in the company, 
without payment, if performance criteria specified by the 
Board were satisfied in a set period. Since 1 July 2021, 
the allocations have been in the form of ‘performance 
rights’ which, on vesting, deliver one share for each 
vested performance right. 

Each year, the Board has the discretion to offer 
executives shares/performance rights worth up to a 
specified percentage of their total fixed reward (salary). 
In FY22, the offers have been equal to 70% of total fixed 
reward for the Managing Director, and 30% of total fixed 
reward for eligible executives. The number of shares or 
performance rights allocated is based on the volume 
weighted average price (VWAP) of shares calculated 
over the 20 trading days to 30 June immediately prior to 
the commencement of the performance period for the 
relevant offer.

For the shares or performance rights to vest, certain 
performance criteria must be satisfied within the 
specified performance period.

Both the performance criteria and the performance 
period are set by the Board alone. ELTIP performance 
measures are weighted equally between relative total 
shareholder return (TSR) and return on equity (ROE). 
The relative TSR incorporates both dividends paid and 
movements in share prices, while the ROE is a measure 
of corporate profitability.

Currently, the Board has set three financial years, 
commencing with the year in which an offer is 
made, as the performance period, with relative 
TSR and post-tax underlying ROE for the 2018 and 
2019 offers. Relative TSR and statutory ROE have 
been set as the performance criteria for the 2020, 
2021 and 2022 offers. The Board may adjust the 
statutory ROE performance criteria for one-off 
items for the 2020 and subsequent offers.

The performance criteria are assessed following 
the completion of each performance period. Under 
the ELTIP rules, an assessment is made against the 
performance criteria to determine the number of 
shares or performance rights awarded to the Managing 
Director and each participating executive.

Shares or rights cannot be allocated for a further two 
years. This means a total period of five years will elapse 
from the commencement of the performance period 
to the time when shares are vested. Any ELTIP reward 
is subject to reassessment and possible reduction 
or forfeiture. This enables the Board to adjust share 
allocations (potentially to zero) to protect the financial 
soundness of the company or respond to significant 
unforeseen or unexpected consequences. In addition, 
if the Managing Director or a participating executive is 
an accountable person under the BEAR, allocating the 
shares will be subject to the Board being satisfied that 
the accountable person has met their accountability 
obligations. The number of shares allocated (and/or 
value of any associated payment) may be reduced or 
cancelled to the extent that the Board determines that 
the accountability obligations have not been met.

Allocation of shares to the Managing Director and 
eligible executives is ultimately at the complete 
discretion of the Board. The ELTIP rules provide that 
an independent trustee, acting at the direction of the 
company, may acquire and hold allocated shares on 
behalf of executives. The participating executive cannot 
transfer or dispose of shares before they have been 
allocated to them. Any shares or performance rights to 
be allocated to the Managing Director under this plan 
require shareholder approval in accordance with ASX 
listing rules. Participating executives are required to not 
hedge their economic exposure to any allocated non-
vested entitlement.

Failure to comply with this directive will constitute  
breach of duty and may result in forfeiture of the offer 
and/or dismissal.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
Commencement of employment during  
a financial year

Subject to Board approval, a pro-rata ELTIP offer can 
be made to an executive who commences employment 
during the financial year, but before 1 April. The terms 
of the offer must be consistent with all other offers 
for that year, irrespective of the date of employment 
commencement. 

Cessation of employment

Executives who cease employment with the company 
will be eligible to receive shares only if the cessation is 
due to a Qualifying Reason, as defined by the ELTIP 
Plan Rules. Qualifying reasons include death, total and 
permanent disability, retirement at normal retirement 
age, redundancy or other such reason as the Board 
may determine. Where an ELTIP participant ceases 

employment, their ELTIP offer will be assessed by the 
Board at the end of the performance period along with 
all other participants, subject to meeting the 12-month 
employment hurdle that applies to any ELTIP offer. If the 
separated employee is an accountable person under 
BEAR, any awarded shares will not be allocated until all 
BEAR requirements are satisfied, including the variable 
remuneration deferral period.

Entitlement to dividend income

When shares allocated to an executive are held by a 
trustee, the executive is entitled to receive dividend 
payments on the allocated shares and to have the 
trustee exercise the voting rights on those shares in 
accordance with the executive’s instructions. However, 
executives have no entitlements to dividends or voting 
rights for shares or performance rights during the 
deferral period.

 The fair value of offers that are assessed and awarded on market-based conditions is determined on the grant date in accordance with AASB 
2. The fair value is used to recognise an expense over the performance period for the TSR component of offers. The fair value attached to 
Managing Director will be subject to valuation review upon shareholder approval of “2021” Offer at FY22 Annual General Meeting, but deemed 
to be materially correct as at reporting date.

 The value of the offer is the maximum value calculated as at the date of offer at that time. As such, it may include the value of offers made to 
individuals who are no longer executives of the company.

 Pro-rata offer made in respect of the “2019” Offer to Gary Dickson on 16 March 2020. Pro-rata offer made in respect of the “2021” Offer to Alan 
Logan and Brett Morgan on 23 September 2021 and 17 January 2022. Noting that the “2021” Offer to Brett Morgan is subject to shareholder 
approval at the 2022 AGM.

approval/acceptances are received.

Review of executive remuneration 

During FY21, the Committee commissioned independent advice in respect of the structure and performance criteria 
for executive variable remuneration. With the benefit of that advice, the Board decided to make a number of changes 
that take effect from 1 July 2021. These changes have been implemented and include moving the Executive Long-
Term Incentive Program to a Performance Rights scheme, and reviewing the targets for threshold performance. 
The details of the Executive Long-Term Incentive Program are provided in section 5. Our Executive remuneration 
framework will be subject to further review following the introduction of the Financial Accountability Regime (FAR) and 
the APRA prudential standard for Remuneration.

1)     The cash bonus shown in “2021” represents the actual amount awarded in respect to STI offers. The cash bonus shown in “2022” represents the 

gratuity amount award in respect to performance for select KMP. 

2)     Non-monetary benefits consist of car parking expense, travel & accommodation and entertainment. 

3)      Share-based payment amounts have been calculated in accordance with the relevant accounting policy and Accounting Standard. The fair 
value of the share grant is calculated at the date of grant and is allocated to each reporting period evenly over the period from grant date to 
vesting date. This fair value will generally be different to the value of shares at the time they vest. The value disclosed is the portion of the fair 
value of the share grant allocated to this reporting period. These amounts represent share grants which will only vest to the KMP when certain 
performance and service criteria are met. In some circumstances all, or a portion, of the shares may never vest to the KMP. As these figures 
are based on accrual accounting and not a reflection of actual cash paid or shares vested, negative figures can result in the event of accrual 
reversals being recorded. Amounts stated are in respect of the period that the individual held a role of a KMP.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2022

1.1 Reporting entity

MyState Limited (the Company) is incorporated 
and domiciled in Australia and is a company limited 
by shares that are publicly traded on the Australian 
Securities Exchange. The address of its registered 
office and principal place of business is 137 Harrington 
Street, Hobart Tasmania 7000. The consolidated 
financial statements of MyState Limited and its 
subsidiaries (the Group) were authorised for issue by 
the Directors on 15 August 2022.   

1.2 Basis of accounting

These consolidated financial statements are general 
purpose financial statements which have been 
prepared in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations, and other requirements of the law. The 
financial report complies with Australian equivalents to 
International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”).  

The financial statements comprise the consolidated 
financial statements of the Group. For the purpose of 
preparing the consolidated financial statements, the 
Company is a for-profit entity.

Where necessary, comparative figures have been 
re-classified and re-positioned for consistency with 
current period disclosures.

The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for 
certain properties and financial instruments that are 
measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the 
end of each reporting period, as explained in the 
accounting policies.

Rounding of amounts

The Company is a company of the kind referred to 
in Australian Securities and Investments Commission 
(ASIC) Class Order 2016/191, and, in accordance with 
that Class Order, amounts in the financial report are 
rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless 
otherwise indicated. All amounts are presented in 
Australian dollars.

1.3 Use of estimates and 
judgements

The preparation of the financial report in conformity 
with Australian Accounting Standards requires the 
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also 
requires management to exercise judgment in the 
process of applying the accounting policies. The notes 
to the financial statements set out areas involving  
a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas 
where assumptions are significant to the financial 
report such as:
 › Loan origination cost amortisation, refer note 2.1;
 › Impairment losses on loans and advances, refer note 

4.3;   

 › Fair value of financial instruments, refer note 4.7;
 › Impairment assessment of intangibles and goodwill, 

refer note 5.3; 

 › Recoverability of deferred tax assets, refer note 6.1; and
 › Assessment of right-of-use assets and lease 

liabilities, refer notes 4.6 and 5.1.

Non-current assets held for sale

At 31 December 2021, a property was reclassified from 
Investment property to Held for sale and disclosed 
separately in the Consolidated Statement of Financial 
Position, in line with AASB 5 Non-Current assets held 
for Sale. Prior to reclassification, the property was 
revalued and a gain on revaluation of $530,000 was 
recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement 
in line with the requirements of AASB 140 Investment 
Property. The property was subsequently sold and 
a gain of $324,000 on disposal has been disclosed 
separately in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Software as a Service arrangement

Capitalised costs of configuring or customising a 
supplier’s application software in a software as a 
service arrangement have been derecognised in 
the financials in line with the IFRS Interpretation 
Committee’s (IFRIC) agenda decision in April 2021. 
The impact has been recognised in the Group’s 
retained earnings.

1.4 Provisions (other than for impairment of financial assets)

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal, equitable or constructive obligation to make a future 
sacrifice of economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events and it is 
probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the 
amount of the obligation.

Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the 
income can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before income is 
recognised.

Interest

Interest income is accrued using the effective interest rate method, which is the rate that exactly discounts 
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument. Loan origination fees are 
recognised as components of the calculation of the effective interest rate method in relation to originated loans, 
and therefore effect the interest recognised in relation to this portfolio of loans. The average life of loans in the 
relevant loan portfolios is reviewed annually to ensure the amortisation methodology for loan origination fees is 
appropriate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Interest expense is calculated on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method.  The effective 
interest rate method is the rate that exactly discounts future payments through the expected life of the financial 
instrument.          

Non-interest income from banking activities

Refer to the “income accounting policy” in note 2.2.

TPT Wealth Limited, a controlled entity of the Group, acts as Responsible Entity, Trustee and Funds Manager 
for eight managed investment schemes. The investment schemes place monies with external wholesale fund 
managers, direct mortgages and mortgaged backed securities, term deposits and other investments. The clients 
include individuals, superannuation funds and corporate investors.

The assets and liabilities of these funds are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Income 
earned by the Group in respect of these activities is included in the Consolidated Income Statement of the Group 
as “Funds management income”. 

The following table shows the balance of the unconsolidated funds under management and funds under advice 
that gives rise to funds management and other fees and commissions income respectively:

TPT Wealth Limited provides private client tax accounting services and acts as trustee and executor of estates. 
“Other fees and commissions income” is the income earned from these activities.

Income accounting policy

The Group earns three main types of fees and commissions under contracts with customers. The first income type is 
single performance obligation contracts, such as transaction services, where the performance obligation is performed 
and consideration received in quick succession. Income from these contracts is recorded as the performance 
obligations are satisfied. The second income type is where contracts with the customer are for the performance of 
multiple obligations over time and the customer only benefits from delivery of all those obligations together over time, 
for example the provision of trustee services and services to funds under management. For these contracts, income is 
recognised over the service period. The third type of income is insurance intermediary income where the performance 
obligations are satisfied substantially at the time of referring the customer and economic benefits flow to the Group 
over time. The Group has estimated that nil income will be brought forward as a contract asset under these contracts 
due to the insufficient probability of the timing and amount of future income that will flow from these contracts. This 
income is therefore recorded when received.

Expense accounting policy

Depreciation and amortisation expense

The Group adopts the straight line method of depreciating property, plant and equipment and amortising 
intangible assets over the estimated useful lives, commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.  
Leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired 
expected term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.  Estimated useful lives are:

Buildings

Office furniture, fittings & equipment

Building fit-out

Computer hardware

Software

Right-of-use assets

 40 years

 4-7 years

 4-15 years

 3 years

 3-10 years

 2-15 years

Each year the useful life of assets are evaluated. The remaining useful life of select core banking systems has 
been revised and extended in the current year as the Group has implemented significant increased functionality 
and, in turn, longevity of these sytems over their initial capacity. The revised remaining useful life is within the 
above stated parameters however the total life since original core system implementation is in excess of the 
above stated lives in some instances.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Group’s profit attributable to ordinary equity holders by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.  Diluted earnings per share is 
calculated by dividing the Group’s profit attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares that would be issued on the exchange of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary 
shares.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
3.1 Capital management strategy

The Group’s capital management strategy is to adhere to regulatory requirements and maximise shareholder 
value through optimising the level and use of capital resources, whilst also providing the flexibility to take 
advantage of opportunities as they may arise. 

activities;

The Group’s capital management objectives are to:
 › Comply with internal and regulatory capital requirements;
 › Ensure sufficient capital resource is available to support the Group’s business, operational and investment 
 › Maintain balance sheet resilience to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern; and
 › Support MyState Limited’s and MyState Bank Limited’s credit rating.      
The Group’s capital management policy considers each of internal, regulatory and rating agency capital 
requirements. Under APS 110 Capital Adequacy, the ultimate responsibility for the prudent management of 
capital resides with the Board of Directors. The Board must ensure that an appropriate level and quality of 
capital is maintained, commensurate with the type, amount and concentration of risk exposures. 

The Group’s regulatory capital requirements are measured on a Level 1 and Level 2 basis.

Level 1 is comprised of MyState Bank Limited (the ADI) and ConQuest 2010-1R.

Level 2  is comprised of the wider MyState Limited prudential group. This group includes  MyState Limited (the 
non-operating holding company), MyState Bank Limited, Connect Asset Management Limited (the Securitisation 
programme Manager) and ConQuest 2010-1R.

All entities that are consolidated for accounting purposes are included within the Level 2 regulatory capital 

calculation except for TPT Wealth Limited and securitisation special purposes vehicles (Conquest 2014-2 Trust, 

Conquest 2016-1 Trust,  Conquest 2016-2 Trust, Conquest 2017-1 Trust, Conquest 2018-1 Trust, Conquest 2019-1 PP 

Trust, and Conquest 2019-2 Trust).

The Group has developed a detailed Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Plan (ICAAP).  This plan covers the 

capital requirements of the Group on a Level 1 and Level 2 basis (as previously described) as well as TPT Wealth 

Limited. The Group’s capital position is monitored on a frequent basis and is reported to the Board monthly. The 

ICAAP also includes a three year forecast of capital adequacy which is prepared and submitted to the Board at 

least annually.

The ICAAP aims to ensure that adequate planning activities take place so that the Group is effectively capitalised. 

The ICAAP encompasses known financial events, dividend policy, capital raisings, securitisation and stress testing.

(i) On 24 June 2021, the Group raised $24.2 million (5,628,573 shares at $4.30 each) under a retail entitlement offer. This followed 
an institutional entitlement offer and fully underwritten institutional placement (Placement) which raised $11.3 million and $20 million 
respectively (7,274,502 ordinary shares at $4.30 each) from existing and new institutional investors, on 2 June 2021. 

(ii) On 10 July 2020, the Group issued $25 million of floating rate subordinated notes (“notes”). The issuer was MyState Limited. The 
notes have a term of 10 years, maturing 10 July 2030, and pay interest quarterly at a floating rate equal to the three-month BBSW plus a 
margin of 4.35% per annum.  The issuer has the option to redeem these notes on 10 July 2025 and each quarterly interest payment date 
thereafter, and for certain regulatory events (in each case subject to APRA’s prior written approval). On the same date, and with the same 
terms, MyState Bank Limited issued $25 million of floating rate subordinated notes to MyState Limited with terms identical to those issued 
by MyState Limited.

On 3 November 2021, the Group issued $25 million of floating rate subordinated notes (“notes”). The issuer was MyState Limited. The 
notes have a term of 10 years, maturing 3 November 2031, and pay interest quarterly at a floating rate equal to the three-month BBSW 
plus a margin of 2.75% per annum.  The issuer has the option to redeem these notes on 3 November 2026 and each quarterly interest 
payment date thereafter, and for certain regulatory events (in each case subject to APRA’s prior written approval). On the same date, and 
with the same terms, MyState Bank Limited issued $25 million of floating rate subordinated notes to MyState Limited with terms identical 
to those issued by MyState Limited.

If APRA notifies the issuer that a non-viability trigger event has occurred, the notes will be converted into ordinary shares of MyState 
Limited, or written-off. For the notes issued on 3 November 2021, the amount included in the Group’s Level 2 Tier 2 regulatory capital is 
a percentage equal to that of the external interest in the Group’s regulatory capital. The amount included in the Group’s Level 1 Tier 2 
regulatory capital is 100%. For the notes issued on 10 July 2020, the amount included in the Group’s Level 1 and Level 2 Tier 2 regulatory 
capital is 100%.  

(iii) At 30 June 2022, the Group’s total capital ratio of 12.41% was marginally below the Board’s risk appetite limit (12.50%) with Additional 
Tier 1 capital issuance and planned securitisation to remediate this position.

3.2 Financial risk management

Risk management is an integral part of the Group’s business processes.  The Board sets policy to mitigate risks 
and ensure the risk management framework is appropriate, to direct the way in which the Group conducts 
business.  Promulgated Board approved policies ensure compliance throughout the business, which are 
monitored by way of a dedicated compliance system.  Risk management plans exist for all documented risks 
within the Group and these plans are reviewed regularly by the Executive Management Team, the Group Risk 
Committee and the Board.  Business units are accountable for risks in their area and are responsible for ensuring 
the appropriate assessment and management of these risks.

Risk exposure profile

The Group actively monitors a range of risks, which are not limited to, but include the following:
 › Credit risk, 
 › Market risk; and
 › Liquidity risk.

3.2.1 Credit risk

Approach to credit risk management

Credit risk arises within the Group’s lending and treasury investment activities and is the risk that a counterparty 
may fail to complete its contractual obligations when they fall due.

The Group’s approach to managing this risk is to separate prudential control from operational management by 
assigning responsibility for approval of credit exposures to specific individuals and management committees. 
The Group Risk Committee has oversight of credit risk exposures and the Enterprise Risk Committee monitors 
credit related activities through regular reporting processes, including monitoring large exposure to single groups 
and counterparties.  The roles of funding and oversight of credit are separate.

Board approved lending policies guide the processes for all loan approvals by subsidiary operations.  All loans 
over a designated amount, whether within delegated limits or not, are reported to the Group Risk Committee on a 
regular basis. Any loan outside of delegated limits must be approved by the Board prior to funding.  

Maximum exposure to credit risk

The amounts disclosed in the following table are the maximum exposure to credit risk, before taking account of 
any collateral held or other credit enhancements. For financial assets recognised in the Statement of Financial 
Position, the exposure to credit risk equals their carrying amount. For customer commitments, the maximum 
exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facility as at the reporting date.

To mitigate credit risk, MyState Bank (ADI) holds collateral against select loans and advances in the form of 
a mortgage charge over property. The bank can take possession of the security held against the loans and 
advances as a result of customer default. The collateral shown above is an estimate of the value of collateral 
held, it is not practicable to determine the fair value.

Credit quality is impacted by concentration risk created by the ensuing vulnerability of assets to similar 
conditions such as economic or political factors. The Group monitors the geographical diversification of its loans 
and advances. An analysis of this concentration of credit risk at the reporting date is shown in the following table:

3.2.2 Market risk

Managing market risk

Market risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the value of the Group’s portfolio as a result of changes in 
market prices or volatility.  The Group is exposed primarily to interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk exposure

The operations of MyState Bank are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations as a result of mismatches in 
the timing of the repricing of interest rates on its assets and liabilities. 

The figures in the table below indicates the earnings at risk for an ensuing 12 month period of a 1% parallel shock 
increase to the yield curve. A 1% decrease has the equal opposite result.

Value at Risk (VaR)

The following table indicates the VaR based on historical data. The Group estimates VaR as the potential loss 
in earnings from adverse market movements over a 20 day holding period to a 99% confidence level. VaR takes 
account of all material market variables that may cause a change in the value of the loan portfolio. Although an 
important tool for the measurement of market risk, the assumptions underlying the model are limited to reliance 
on historical data.

The Group is exposed to changes in interest rates. The only derivative instruments currently entered into by 
the Group are interest rate swaps. The Group protects its portfolio of fixed rate loans, corporate and retail 
term deposits, NCDs and exposure to variable rate debt obligations, by paying fixed or variable rates to swap 
providers and receiving fixed or variable rates in return, dependent on the hedged item. The hedge instruments 
are benchmarked to either BBSW (Bank Bill Swap rate) or AONIA (RBA Interbank Overnight Cash Rate). 
The hedging strategy is to mitigate earnings volatility for the Group by managing interest rate margins in an 
increasing rate environment.

Derivatives accounting policy

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently 
remeasured to their fair value.  Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets.  
Movements in the carrying amounts of derivatives are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, unless 
the derivative meets the requirements for hedge accounting.

The Group documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items at inception of the 
transaction, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.  
The Group also documents its assessment of whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions have been or 
will continue to be, highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of hedged items.   
This assessment is carried out both at inception and on a monthly basis.

Cash flow hedges

The Group has cash flow hedges that are used to hedge the variability of interest rates in relation to certain 
assets and liabilities. These derivative instruments are established with terms that exactly match the terms of the 
asset or liability designated as the hedged item and therefore form highly effective relationships. The portion 
of the asset or liability designated in the hedging relationship is determined by reference to specific fixed rate 
assets or liabilities within the deposit or loan portfolio. The Group conducts tests for ineffectiveness and sources

of ineffectiveness are limited to credit risk of parties to the relationship. The variability in fair values attributable 
to an item designated as a cash flow hedge is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income to the extent of 
the hedge’s effectiveness.  Any ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative is recognised 
immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting

If a derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, 
or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued and the amount recognised in Other 
Comprehensive Income remains in Other Comprehensive Income until the forecast transaction affects the 
Consolidated Income Statement.  If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, it is reclassified to 
the Consolidated Income Statement as a reclassification adjustment.

When a derivative is not designated in a qualifying relationship, all changes in its fair value are recognised 
immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement, as a component of net income from other financial 
instruments carried at fair value. 

The following table indicates the Group’s hedge exposures at 30 June 2022.

3.2.3 Liquidity risk

Managing liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its financial and statutory obligations as they fall due, 
which could arise due to mismatches in cash flows.  

The Group maintains a portfolio of highly marketable assets that can be liquidated in the event of an unforeseen 
interruption of cash flows. The Group also has committed lines of credit that it can access to meet its liquidity 
needs. Liquidity scenarios are calculated under stressed and normal operating conditions, to assist in 
anticipating cash requirements providing adequate reserves.  

The Group’s objective is to manage its funds in a way that will facilitate growth in core business under a wide 
range of market conditions.   The Group maintains, and adheres to, a Liquidity Risk Management framework 
(LRMF). This process  includes acknowledgement of liquidity risks within the Group and justification of the 
amount of liquidity that is being held based on the liquidity risk profile of the organisation.

Group Treasury is responsible for implementing liquidity risk management strategies in accordance with the 
LRMF. The Group’s Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) assists the Board with oversight of asset and liability 
management including liquidity risk management.  The Group’s liquidity policies are approved by the Board after 
endorsement by the Group Risk Committee and the Banking Group’s ALCO.

On 19 March 2020 the RBA established a Term Funding Facility (TFF) that offered ADI’s three-year funding at a 
rate of 0.25% per annum to support the Australian economy through COVID-19. MyState Bank, the Group’s ADI, 
was granted an allowance of $109.0m which was fully drawn ahead of the 30 September 2020 deadline.

t
r
o
p
e
r

l

On 1 September 2020, the RBA announced changes to the TFF, including a Supplementary Allowance that 
provided ADI’s additional three year funding at a rate of 0.10%. MyState Bank was granted an allowance of 
$75.7m which was fully drawn ahead of the 30 June 2021 deadline.

The combined drawn amount as at the reporting date of $184.7m is reported within “term deposits”. Funding 
obtained under the TFF has been secured by $219.4m of eligible asset backed self-securitisation. The funding 
was drawn down progressively and will therefore be able to be repaid progressively at the end of each respective 
three year term, commencing in May 2023 and ending in June 2024.

Financial instruments accounting policies

Financial instruments at amortised cost

Financial instruments at amortised cost are those non-derivative financial assets that the Group has acquired 
with the objective of holding in order to collect contractual cash flows. The contractual terms of the financial 
asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal 
amount outstanding.

Financial instruments at fair value

Financial instruments other than those carried at amortised cost, are carried at their fair value at the reporting 
date.  Note 4.7 contains information on how the Group determines fair values. Fair value gains and losses are 
recognised in comprehensive income until the derecognition date, at which point the net gains and losses are 
transferred to profit or loss for that instrument.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets have 
expired, or where the Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial assets 
and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are 
extinguished,  i.e. when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired.

Loans and advances at amortised cost accounting policy

Loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market 
are classified as “loans and advances”. Loans and advances are recognised on trade date and are measured 
at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised 
by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is 
immaterial.

The Group has undertaken a review of the expected credit loss (ECL) of its lending portfolios against relevant 
specific economic conditions under varying scenarios.  The review considered the macroeconomic outlook, 
customer credit quality, the quality of collateral held and exposure at default as at the reporting date. These 
model inputs including forward-looking information have been revised in recognition that rising cash rates is a 
key driver of the estimates therein. The modelled ECL is sensitive to the speed and resilience of post-COVID-19 
economic normalisation, and the longevity of any monetary and fiscal intervention, as these influence both the 
probability of default, and the value of collateral that may be utilised. Whilst the inputs have been revised,  
the underlying methodology for calculating the ECL is consistently applied in the current and comparative period 
as described in the Impairment of financial assets accounting policy’ presented below.

At 30 June 2022, this review includes forward looking economic assumptions using a scenario weighting of 
60% base case, 30% moderate recession and 10% strong recovery. The key assumptions used to determine the 
forward looking economic overlay were revised to incorporate the latest observed economic data, including a 
higher Official Cash Rate (OCR), stronger levels of employment and lower near term house price growth, with 
price falls under the moderate recession scenario of -20% across FY23 and FY24.

Given the ever-changing COVID-19 environment in Australia and geopolitical uncertainties affecting the world, 
future economic conditions that result in outcomes that differ from the current estimate are possible and will be 
accounted for in future periods.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
Impairment of financial assets accounting policy

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets 
are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that 
occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment 
have been affected. The primary source of credit risk for the Group arises on its loan portfolio. In relation to this 
portfolio, the Group maintains a specific provision and a collective provision.

Specific provisions for impairment are made against individual risk rated credit facilities where a loss is expected. 
The provisions are measured as the difference between a financial asset’s carrying amount and the expected 
future cash flows.  

All other loans and advances that do not have an individually assessed provision are assessed collectively 
for impairment. The collective provisions are calculated using an Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model.  This 
model is forward looking and does not require evidence of an actual loss event for impairment provisions to be 
recognised. 

The Group applies a three-stage approach to measuring the ECL based on credit risk since origination. The 
Group estimates ECL through modelling the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default, as 
follows:

Stage 1 - Performing - This category includes financial assets that have not experienced a significant increase 
in credit risk since their origination. For these financial assets an allowance equivalent to 12 month’s ECL is 
recognised, which represents the credit losses expected to arise from defaults occurring over the next 12 months.  

Stage 2 - Under-performing - This category includes financial assets that have experienced a significant 
increase in credit risk since their origination and are not credit impaired. For these financial assets an allowance 
equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised. Lifetime ECL is the credit losses expected to arise from defaults 
occurring over the remaining life of the financial assets. 

Stage 3 - Non-performing (impaired) - This category includes financial assets that are credit impaired. The 
provision is also equivalent to the lifetime ECL. The difference to the provision calculated on stage 2 loans is 
that the stage 3 loan calculation is not discounted over a future period, but rather the provision is calculated at 
nominal value. 

Financial assets in stage 1 and stage 2 are assessed for impairment collectively, whilst those assets in stage 3 are 
subject to either collective  or  specific impairment assessment. 

Significant changes in credit risk  

Significant increases in credit risk for financial assets are assessed by comparing the risk of a default occurring 
over the expected life of a financial asset at the reporting date compared to the corresponding risk of default at 
origination. In determining what constitutes a significant increase in credit risk, the Group considers qualitative and 
quantitative information. The judgement to determine this is primarily based on changes in internal customer risk 
grades since origination of the facility. For all of the Group’s loan portfolios, in addition to the primary indicator, a 
mathematical model has been developed to identify where a facility’s recent behaviour has deteriorated significantly 
from its original behaviour.  

Key judgements and estimates made by the Group include the following: 

Forward looking information

The measurement of expected credit losses needs to reflect an unbiased probability-weighted range of possible 
future outcomes. AASB 9 provides limited guidance on how to meet this requirement and consequently, the 
Group has developed an approach considered appropriate for its credit portfolio, informed by emerging market 
practices. 

In applying forward looking information in its AASB 9 credit models, the Group considered three alternate 
economic scenarios (base case, strong recovery and moderate recession), to ensure a sufficient unbiased 
representative sample is included in estimating ECL. At 30 June 2022, the forward looking component of the 
collective provision for doubtful debts is $0.9m (2021: $1.5m). The balance of the overlay at 30 June 2021 
reflected the level of uncertainty of the potential ongoing impact of COVID-19 at that time. At 30 June 2022, 
while there are no customers on COVID related assistance, the overlay now primarily reflects the uncertainty 
surrounding the impact of inflation and higher interest rates on the economic recovery.

4.4 Transfer of financial assets (securitisation program)

Some loans and advances to customers are sold by the Group to securitisation vehicles.  The transfer takes the 
form of the Group assuming an obligation to pass cash flows from the underlying assets to investors in the notes.  
The Group utilises its securitisation program to provide regulatory capital relief and funding diversification.

The following table sets out the carrying values at the transaction date of financial assets transferred during the 
financial year in this manner to vehicles that provide regulatory capital relief and the value of the associated 
liabilities issued from the vehicles. This table does not include transfer of assets to the securitisation vehicle in 
which the Group is the bond holder.

Once assets are transferred to a securitisation vehicle, the Group does not have the ability to use the transferred 
assets during the term of the arrangement.  The Group does not have any loans transferred to unconsolidated 
securitisation vehicles. 

The consolidated securitisation vehicles generally transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets to the 
investors in the notes. However, derecognition of the transferred assets from the Group is prohibited because the cash 
flows that the securitisation vehicles collect from the  transferred assets on behalf of the investors are not passed to 
them without material delay. In these cases, the consideration received from the investors in the notes in the form of 
cash is recognised as a financial asset and a corresponding financial liability is recognised. The investors in the notes 
have recourse only to the cash flows from the transferred financial assets.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments at the commencement 
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease (or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s 
incremental borrowing rate).

Lease payments are allocated between principal and interest expense. Interest expense is recognised as a 
financing cost within interest expense (refer note 2.1) in the income statement over the lease period. Any variable 
lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability are also recognised in the income statement 
in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. Lease liabilities are remeasured 
when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in lease term, an assessment of an option 
to purchase the underlying asset, an index or rate, or a change in the estimated amount payable under a residual 
value guarantee. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying value of 
the Right-of-use (ROU) asset, or, in the income statement, where the carrying value of the ROU asset has been fully 
written down. The ROU asset is recorded in property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets (refer to note 5.1).

4.7 Fair value of financial instruments

Classification of financial instruments

Cash and liquid assets and amounts due from financial institutions are carried at cost. As these assets are short

Level 1  - inputs that are prices quoted for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 - inputs based on observable market data other than those in level 1; and

Level 3 - inputs for which there is no observable market data.

Where the expected maturity is in excess of 12 months, the fair value is discounted to its present value. During the

Leasehold improvements

Following initial recognition at cost, leasehold improvements are carried at a revalued amount, being their fair 
value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation on leasehold improvements. 
Fair value, is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the assets could 
be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and seller in an arm’s length transaction as at valuation 
date. 

Any revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in the equity section of the 
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, unless it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset 
previously recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.  Any revaluation deficit is recognised in the 
Consolidated Income Statement unless it directly offsets a previous surplus of the same asset in the asset 
revaluation reserve. 

A property previously classified as land and buildings was reclassified as Investment property in the prior 
comparative period and held for sale and subsequently disposed of during the financial year. 

Plant and equipment and right-of-use (ROU) assets

Plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any 
impairment in value.  The cost of ROU assets correspond to the amount recognised for the lease liability on initial 
recognition together with any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, net of any lease 
incentives received and initial direct costs.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment when 
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.  For an asset that does 
not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit 
to which the asset belongs.

Derecognition of property, plant and equipment and right of use assets

An item of property, plant and equipment or right-of-use asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no 
future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.  Any gain or loss arising on 
derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying 
amount of the item) is included in the Consolidated Income Statement in the year the item is derecognised.

Following initial recognition at cost, land and buildings are carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value 
at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation on buildings and accumulated 
impairment losses. Independent valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount 
does not differ materially from the asset’s fair value at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date.   
Fair value, is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the assets could 
be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and seller in an arm’s length transaction as at valuation 
date.

Any revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in the equity section of the 
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, unless it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset 
previously recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.  Any revaluation deficit is recognised in the 
Consolidated Income Statement unless it directly offsets a previous surplus of the same asset in the asset 
revaluation reserve. 

At 31 December 2021, the investment property was reclassified from Investment property to Held for sale in line 
with AASB 5 Non-Current assets held for Sale. Prior to reclassification, the property was revalued and a gain 
on revaluation of $530k was recognised in line with the requirements of AASB 140 Investment Property. The 
property has subsequently been sold and settled on 16 May 2022. A gain on disposal of $324k has been recorded 
separately in the  Consolidated Income Statement. (Refer note 1.3)

Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost and from a business combination are capitalised 
at fair value as at the date of acquisition.  Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of 
intangible assets.  The useful lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or infinite.  Where 
amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this expense is taken to the Consolidated Income Statement. 
Certain costs directly incurred in acquiring and developing software are capitalised and amortised over the 
estimated useful life. 

Software as a Service arrangement

Any capitalised costs of configuring or customising a supplier’s application software in a software as a service 
arrangement have been derecognised in the financials in line with the IFRS Interpretation Committee’s (IFRIC) agenda 
decision in April 2021. The impact has been recognised in the Group’s retained earnings. (Refer to note 1.3)

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists and, in the case of indefinite 
life intangibles (limited to Goodwill), annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.  Useful lives 
are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.

Goodwill is treated as an indefinite life intangible, software and other intangibles are finite life intangibles. Refer 
to note 2.4 Expenses for the useful life of tangible and intangible assets.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
Impairment testing of Goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill has been allocated to the Group’s two cash-generating units 
(CGU’s) the Banking Business and the Wealth Management Business. These CGU’s represent the lowest level 
within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.  The aggregate carrying 
amounts of goodwill allocated to each CGU for the purpose of impairment testing is as follows:

Banking Business

Wealth Management Business

Total goodwill

$’000

 40,189 

 24,963 

 65,152 

 40,189 

 24,963 

 65,152 

The Group’s assessment of goodwill value-in-use exceeds the carrying value allocated to the CGUs and 
included in the financial statements. 

The recoverable amounts for each CGU’s value-in-use was determined using cash flow projections from Board 
approved financial budgets for the year ending 30 June 2023.  Growth rates have been applied from year two 
through to year ten.  Cash flows are projected by undertaking detailed calculations for each income and expense 
category over a three year period and are then extrapolated off the 3rd year, which is the lowest point of growth. 
An exit value is calculated at the end of 10 years, based on an implied terminal value earnings multiple of 8.5 
and 9.2 for the Banking Business and the Wealth Management Business respectively, and a long-term growth 
rate not exceeding industry. A post-tax discount rate of 11.7% (16.7% pre-tax) and 11.1% (15.9% pre tax) was used 
for the Banking Business and the Wealth Management Business respectively. Certain income categories are 
modelled by projecting growth in relevant portfolio balances and the resulting income derived there-from. Other 
non-portfolio related income streams and expense categories are modelled by projecting real rates of growth 
(above inflation) for each category.  Terminal value is determined at year ten using the assumption that the CGU 
achieves no real growth above inflation into perpetuity.  The growth rates applied do not exceed the long-term 
average growth rate for the business which the CGU operates.  The discount rate used of 11.7% reflects the 
Group’s post-tax nominal weighted average cost of capital, which has been reviewed by externally engaged 
advisers and approved by the Board.  Average inflation is projected to be 5.1%.  The method for determining 
value-in-use is consistent with that adopted in the comparative period.

The key assumptions adopted in assessing Banking’s value-in-use are the rate of growth in the balance of the 
housing loan portfolio and the outlook for net interest margin (NIM).  Taking into account management’s past 
experiences and external evidence, the assumptions that have been adopted for both of these components are 
considered to be reasonable. Management expects that any reasonably possible change to assumptions used in 
Management’s assessment will not result in impairment.

The key assumption adopted in assessing Wealth Management’s value-in-use is the rate of growth in income 
derived from management fee (MF) income.  MF income is derived from its activities as the responsible entity for 
various Managed Investment Schemes (MIS).  MF income derived is directly related to the portfolio balances of 
the MIS.   Other sources of income for the Wealth Management Business are its Trustee Services divisions. Taking 
into account Management’s past experiences and external evidence, the assumptions adopted are considered 
reasonable. Management’s assessment of Wealth Management’s value-in-use exceeds its carrying value.  Any 
reasonably possible change to assumptions used in Management’s assessment will not result in impairment.

MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 
Goodwill accounting policy

Goodwill on the acquisition of businesses is carried at cost as established at the date of the acquisition of the 
business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units (or 
groups of CGU’s) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there 
is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying 
amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the 
CGU and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. 
Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for 
goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.  On disposal of the relevant CGU, the attributable amount  
of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Impairment of subsidiaries accounting policy

Investments in subsidiaries are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognised for the 
amount by which the investment’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (which is the higher of fair 
value less costs to sell and value in use).  At each balance sheet date, the investments in subsidiaries that have 
been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment.

Liabilities for salaries, wages and annual leave are recognised  in respect of employees’ service up to the 
reporting date.  Where settlement is expected to occur within twelve months of the reporting date, the liabilities 
are measured at their nominal amounts based on the remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when  
the liability is settled.  Where settlement is expected to occur later than twelve months from reporting date,  
the liabilities are measured at the present value of payments which are expected to be paid when the liability  
is settled.

A liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of expected future payments 
to be made in respect of services provided up to the reporting date.  Consideration is given to expected future 
wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses  
when incurred.

Taxation accounting policy

Income tax expense is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates 
to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised in the Consolidated 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. Income tax expense on the profit or loss of the period comprises current 
tax and deferred tax.

Current tax payable

Current tax payable is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year using tax rates that 
have been enacted, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at reporting date. Temporary differences are 
calculated at each reporting date as the difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for 
financial reporting purposes and their tax base.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
 › Where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability 
in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the 
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

 › When the taxable temporary differences associated with the investments in subsidiaries and the timing of the 
reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will 
not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax 
assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which 
the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be 
utilised except:
 › When the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial 
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the 
transaction, affect neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit and loss; and

 › When the deductible temporary differences are associated with investments in subsidiaries, in which case 
a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will 
reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences 
can be utilised.  

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current 
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable 
entity and the same taxable authority.

The Group undertakes transactions in the ordinary course of business where the income tax treatment requires 
the exercise of judgement. The Group estimates its tax liability based on its understanding of the tax law.

Tax consolidation

The Group has elected to be taxed as a single entity under the tax consolidation regime.  The head company 
is MyState Limited.  The members of the Group have entered into a tax sharing agreement that provides for 
the allocation of income tax liabilities among the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment 
obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement on the 
basis that the possibility of default is remote.

The Company and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own 
current and deferred tax amounts. The Company has applied the separate tax payer within group approach 
in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax 
consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities 
(or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from 
controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. 

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding 
agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

Basis of consolidation accounting policy

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities 
(including structured entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the 
Company:
 › Has power over the investee;
 › Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
 › Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are 
changes to one or more of these three elements of control.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee 
when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee 
unilaterally.  The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the 
Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
 › The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other 

vote holders;

 › Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; 
 › Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
 › Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current 

ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at 
previous shareholders’ meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the 
Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed 
of during the year are included in the Consolidated Income Statement  and Other Comprehensive Income from 
the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of Other Comprehensive Income are attributed to the owners of the Company 
and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the 
Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit 
balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting 
policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between 
members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

7.3 Related party disclosures

The ultimate parent entity and controlling entity is MyState Limited. Balances and transactions between the

this company has incurred liabilities for which it has a right of indemnity out of the assets of those trusts and 
estates.  Accordingly, these liabilities are not reflected in the financial statements. 

Other contracted commitments for expenditure on plant and equipment as at the reporting date are for only 
minimal amounts.

8.3 Events subsequent to balance date

On 8 August 2022, the MyState Limited Group announced that it had mandated Westpac and Ord Minnett 
to engage with investors with the aim to investigate the prospect of issuing a capital note that will qualify as 
Additional Tier 1 regulatory capital.

There were no other matters or circumstances, other than as noted above, that have arisen since the end of the 
year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those 
operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods. 

8.4 Other significant accounting policies, new accounting standards 
and disclosures

The principal accounting policies, which are consistent with those applied in the comparative period unless 
otherwise stated, that have been adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out in this section and 
the preceding sections.

(i) Other assets

Other assets comprise accounts receivable, accrued income and prepayments.  Accounts receivable are initially 
recorded at the fair value of the amounts to be received and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest rate method, less any provision for impairment loss. 

(ii) Other liabilities

Other liabilities comprise accounts payable and accrued expenses and represent liabilities for goods and 
services received by the Group that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised 
as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of the recognition of the liability.

(iii) New and revised accounting standards

The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards:
 › AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other 

Amendments.

 › AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or 

Non-current – Deferral of Effective Date.

The following accounting standards will become effective in future financial years:
 › AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or 

Non-current

 › AASB 2021-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and 

Definition of Accounting Estimates.

 › AASB 2021-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and 

Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction.

Adoption of these amendments is not expected to result in any significant changes to how the Group applies 
accounting standards in future financial years.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section 
of  our  report.    We  are  independent  of  the  Group  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 (the Code) that are 
relevant  to  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  in  Australia;  and  we  have  fulfilled  our  other  ethical

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our opinion.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of the financial report and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on 
these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided 
in that context. 

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial

11..  OOppeerraattiioonn  ooff  IITT  SSyysstteemmss  aanndd  CCoonnttrroollss  

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the matter 

We focus our audit on those IT systems and controls 
that  are  significant  to  the  Group’s 
financial 
reporting process. 

We assessed and tested the design and operating 
effectiveness  of  the  Group’s  IT  controls,  including 
those over user access and change management as 
well as data reliability and integrity. 

This involved assessing: 

•  Technology  control  environment  and 

governance; 

•  Change  management  processes 

for 

software applications; 

•  Access  controls  designed 

to  enforce 

segregation of duties; 
•  System  development, 

the 
appropriateness  of  management’s  testing 
and implementation controls;  

reviewing 

•  We carried out direct tests of the operation 
of key programs to establish the accuracy of 
calculations,  the  correct  generation  of 
reports, and to assess the correct operation 
of  automated  controls  and  technology-
dependent manual controls; and 

•  Third  party  reports  on  IT  systems  and 

controls. 

For  outsourced  providers,  we  obtain  assurance 
from  third  party  auditors  on  the  design  and 
operating effectiveness of controls. 

This is a key audit matter because a significant part 
of the Group’s financial reporting process is heavily 
reliant on IT systems with automated processes and 
controls  for  the  capture,  processing,  storage,  and 
extraction of information. 

There has been continued change to the Group’s IT 
landscape in the 2022 financial year and it has been 
essential  to  ensure  appropriate  user  access  and 
change management protocols exist and are being 
observed.  These  protocols  are  important  because 
they ensure that access and changes to IT systems 
and  related  data  are  made  and  authorised  in  an 
appropriate manner. 

These key controls mitigate potential fraud or error 
because of change to an application or underlying 
data. 

MyState has outsourced arrangements in place for 
a number of key IT processes.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the matter 

The  recognition  and  measurement  of  software 
assets is a key audit matter because of the Group’s 
ongoing  investment  in  new  systems  and  the 
judgement required to: 

To address the risk of material misstatement and 
obtain sufficient audit evidence, we performed the 
following  procedures  over  software  assets  and 
goodwill: 

•  Recognise  when  costs  incurred  transition 

from research to development; and 

•  Assess the useful life of IT assets. 

•  We  evaluated  and  tested  the  Group’s 
policies  and  processes  for  recognising 
software assets; 

The Group continues to enhance its IT systems and 
online servicing capability.  

There is also a high level of judgement required in 
the  Group’s  annual  testing  of  impairment  of 
goodwill  with 
forward-looking 
significant 
assumptions used in the valuation models. 

•  We  reviewed  amounts  capitalised 
projects 

for 
significant

completed by the group.  This included a 
retrospective  assessment  of  amounts 
capitalised  in  early  stages  of  significant 
projects; 

currently 

•  We  reviewed  the  Group’s  processes  for 
considering the completion of projects and 
commencement of amortisation;  

•  We  ensured 

software  assets  made 
redundant  through  new  projects  were 
written off; 

•  We reviewed the useful lives applied to IT 
systems to ensure they are reasonable; and 
•  We reviewed the goodwill valuation model 
and  forward-looking  assumptions  applied 
to each CGU of the Group.

Refer to Note 4.3 ‘Loans and advances’ 

Key audit matters 

How our audit addressed the matter 

The  provision  for  impairment  on  loans  and 
advances  is  a  key  audit  matter  because  of  the 
Group’s significant balance of loans and advances, 
the significant growth in loan balances during the 
2022 financial year, and the significant judgement 
inherent

provisioning  model  is  determined  in  accordance

To address the risk of material misstatement and 
obtain sufficient audit evidence, we performed the 
following  procedures  over  the  provisions  for 
impairment on loans and advances: 

•  Assessed the governance oversight; 
•  Reviewed and tested the calculation of the 
expected  credit  loss  model,  including  the

model used; 

•  The selection of assumptions adopted such 
as  the  probability  of  default,  loss  given 
default,  exposure  at  default  and  forward-

Standard APS 220 Credit Risk Management. 

We  considered  the  impact  of  the  growth  in  loan

control environment that supports lending. 

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information

Our  opinion  on  the  financial  report  does  not  cover  the  other  information  and  accordingly  we  do  not

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, 
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report, or 
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If, based on the 
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we 
are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes 
our  opinion.  Reasonable  assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance  but  is  not  a  guarantee  that  an  audit 
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in 
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of this financial report. 

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Auditing  Standards,  we  exercise  professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 
•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we 
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report 
to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our 
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going 
concern. 

•  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure,  and  content  of  the  financial  report,  including  the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation. 

•  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the  entities  or 
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible 
for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for 
our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the 
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify 
during our audit. 

We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other  matters  that  may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From  the  matters  communicated  with  the  Directors,  we  determine  those  matters  that  were  of  most

We  describe  these  matters  in  our  auditor’s  report  unless  law  or  regulation  precludes  public  disclosure 
about  the  matter  or  when,  in  extremely  rare  circumstances,  we  determine  that  a  matter  should  not  be
