Building a specialised banking institution (SCCI) for merchants 

Tyro  Payments  Limited  (or  “Tyro”)  is  an  Australian  banking  institution  specialised  in  facilitating  the  acceptance  of 
electronic payments on behalf of merchants and recurrent billers. 

Tyro holds an authority under the Banking Act to carry on a banking business as a Specialist Credit Card Institution 
(SCCI) and operates under the supervision of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). Tyro does not 
take  money  on  deposit.  Tyro  is  a  Principal  Member  of  Visa  and  MasterCard  and  a  Tier  One  Member  of  the 
Australian payment clearing streams BECS and CECS. 

Tyro  provides  an  in-house  developed,  end-to-end  solution,  authorising,  clearing  and  settling  electronic  payments. 
Tyro  accepts  Visa,  MasterCard,  American  Express/JCB,  Diners,  PIN  based  EFTPOS  as  well  as  Medicare 
Easyclaim,  gift  and  loyalty  card  transactions.  Under  its  banking  authority,  Tyro  is  also  able  to  provide  additional 
services of BPAY and direct debit services. The Tyro solution is IP based and all transactions are processed in real 
time. 

At  the  end  of  June  2011,  Tyro  completed  its  fourth  full  fiscal  year  trading,  since  the  commercial  launch  of  its 
EFTPOS facility on 26 April 2007. 

Our vision and guiding principles 

Tyro  Payments  provides  the  Merchant’s  EFTPOS  and  it  just  works.  Tyro  listens,  understands,  develops, 
integrates and supports flawless solutions that plug in and just work for the merchant’s business. 

Tyro  People  dare  to  challenge  the  EFTPOS  Industry  and  they  succeed.  Tyros  learn,  think,  respect,  debate, 
decide, act and grow for a new world where innovation, fairness and transparency prevail. 

Tyro shares the wealth and recognition fairly among its many stakeholders. Tyro aspires to build wealth for its 
staff and shareholders and to contribute innovation and competition to the Australian banking industry. 

Our governance 

Whilst  senior  management  has  responsibility  for  day-to-day  management,  in  line  with  prudential  and  regulatory 
requirements,  the  Board  of  Directors  (the  board)  has  ultimate  responsibility  for  Tyro’s  sound  and  prudent 
management. 

In  line  with  best  practice  and  in  particular  the  requirements  of  APRA  Prudential  Standard  510:  Governance,  the 
board  establishes  frameworks,  policy  and  direction,  supported  by  operational  management.  The  board  also 
establishes  advisory  committees  in  respect  of  key  aspects  of  the  business  which  assist  it  in  carrying  out  its 
functions,  as  well  as  providing  it  with  expert  advice  on  key  issues.  The  primary  role  of  the  board  is  to  provide 
effective governance over company affairs, including its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and 
monitoring  the  achievement  of  those  goals,  to  ensure  that  the  interests  of  stakeholders  are  protected  and  the 
confidence of the merchant acquiring market is maintained, whilst having regard for the interests of all stakeholders 
including customers, employees and suppliers. 

The board currently consists of five directors, with a majority of four directors and the Chairman meeting APRA’s 
independence  requirements.  These  requirements  are  largely  consistent  with  that  of  the  Corporations  Act.  The 
directors of the board have set standards of policy and conduct applicable at all levels of Tyro to ensure stringent 
compliance with the Tyro Code of Conduct, the Corporations Act 2001, the National Privacy Principles 2001 and the 
Banking  Act  1959  and  all  other  applicable  regulation.  In  particular,  the  board  is  cognisant  of  its  lifecycle  and 
requirements and the need to maintain access to independent expertise. Consequently it has established a policy of 
board  renewal  that  ensures  it  has  the  necessary  expertise  and  general  reinvigoration  while  also  maintaining 
ongoing understanding of Tyro’s business.

Tyro Health: Medical Practices and Pharmacies 

Since  launching,  Tyro  has  focused  on  opportunities  within  primary  care  and  related  health  markets.    Specifically 
Tyro  has  targeted  the  installed  base  of  Health  Communication  Network  (HCN).    HCN  is  the  leading  Australian 
provider of e-health and practice automation solutions and addresses both the General Practitioner and Specialist 
Practitioner market place.  

Medicare Easyclaim 

Tyro  has  deployed  Australia’s  first  integrated  Easyclaim  platform.  Easyclaim  is  a real-time Medicare claiming and 
reimbursement  service  for  patient-paid  and  bulk  bill  claims  using  an  EFTPOS  terminal  and  the  EFTPOS  network 
from the medical practice immediately after the consultation has occurred. 

HCN has integrated the Easyclaim platform into its PracSoft practice management system. The highly automated 
end-to-end solution was first launched in April 2009. 

Tyro  and  HCN  have  developed  a  seamless  process  of  electronic  payment,  claiming,  reimbursement  and 
reconciliation. The claim and Medicare card data is automatically transferred from the practice management system 
(PMS), where it resides, through the Tyro EFTPOS terminal to Medicare and from Medicare back to the PMS for 
reconciliation. 

Medicare statistics show that in June 2011 there were 8,695,968 million claims for GP Professional Attendances. 
During the same month, Tyro processed 804,514 Easyclaim transactions. Thus at this juncture Tyro is assumed to 
process in excess of 9% of GP professional attendances in Australia. By end of June 2011, 1,110 HCN practices 
used integrated Easyclaim.

Tyro Retail 

Tyro is continuing to execute its overall strategy of accessing merchants via Point of Sale (POS) vendors. The Tyro 
Terminal Adaptor (TTA) enables the POS vendors to implement the Tyro integration protocol directly; This means 
that integration with Tyro no longer requires weeks of effort but merely days and integrations are far more robust. 

As at 30 June 2011, Tyro had thirty-seven certified POS integrations. During the year Tyro completed integration 
and certification with a twelve POS vendors.  

The  Product  Management  Team  has  been  working  closely  with  POS  providers  to  deliver  integrated  reporting, 
reconciliation and settlement solutions that automate the end of day processing used by our merchants. There is a 
“headless” version of the TTA that allows the POS vendor to provide integrated EFTPOS with his own skin i.e. the 
look and feel of his own user interface. 

Tyro Hospitality 

During the 2011 financial year Tyro launched its integrated Pay at Table solution. This solution permits the payment 
terminal to communicate with a restaurants POS over a wireless network, thus permitting pay at table transactions 
to be conducted on an integrated basis.  

At this stage Tyro is not aware of any other acquirer that offers similar functionality. As at June 30th 2011 Tyro has 
signed up to 388 hospitality merchants.  

Leveraging the Internet 

Tyro  architecture  allows  larger  retail  organizations  to  cut  their  infrastructure  cost  by  reducing  communication 
expense  through  the  use  of  their  corporate  network  and/or  the  public  internet  and  by  eliminating  an  expensive 
software and hardware middleware layer used by incumbents for aggregation and integration purposes.  

Tyro is the only EFTPOS provider with the capability of secure integrated credit and debit card processing in a “thin 
client”  (web-based)  infrastructure.  Tyro  removes  constraints  and  enables  businesses,  no  longer  tied  to  legacy 
technology, to radically improve the efficiency of their processes. 

Product Expansion 

To date, the TTA only suits a generic retail environment (purchases and refunds). Tyro has recognised that if it is to 
achieve greater success with this strategy, then it needs to become closer aligned to the workflow of POS systems. 
Tyro has identified the hospitality sector as an attractive market segment. 

There are several POS vendors in the hospitality sector with whom Tyro has integrated with or recently begun an 
integration  project.  Tyro  is  working  closely  with  the  leading  players  in  this  sector  to  develop  its  differentiated 
hospitality product. Further solutions are planned to be released in stages over the next financial year.

Tyro Culture 

Environmental Sustainability 

Climate change is not simply an environmental issue. It is a key business and social issue which impacts us all. By 
the  very  nature  of  its  innovative  internet-based  technology,  Tyro  is  contributing  to  a  more  sustainable  future  with 
paperless statements, integrated receipt, online reporting and web based documentation. With the development of 
integrated receipt Tyro continues to further expand its environmental awareness beyond corporate headquarters to 
a growing proportion of its customer base. Tyro has implemented a company wide recycling program and continues 
to search for new and efficient ways to minimise its environmental footprint. 

Supporting Employees 

Tyro’s 54 employees are critical to its continued success. By utilising comprehensive recruitment and pre-screening 
practices  for  all  employees,  along  with  at  least  annual  performance  management  reviews,  Tyro  endeavours  to 
recruit,  retain  and  suitably  reward  the  best  people  in  the  industry.  All  employees  are  offered  to  participate  in  the 
Employee Share Option Plan. 

Security is top of mind in the financial industry 

EMV (chip card) for Visa and MasterCard penetration is now over 98.5% of the terminal fleet. A measure of success 
in the application is the rate of fallback transactions, where the operator has been unsuccessful in processing with 
the chip and instead falls back to using the magnetic strip. The industry average for Australia is around 3%, while 
tyro is currently well down on this at 1.4%. 

Last year Tyro reported that we were engaged in achieving a PCI compliant state. We have successfully certified 
our integration solution under PCI PA DSS. This means that merchants using our integrated solution and only using 
our terminals have no PCI issues to deal with. 

PCI DSS for our own operations continues to be an ongoing goal. Our merchant community is mostly covered by 
our  PA  DSS  certification,  although  merchants  with  Mail  Order  and  Telephone  Order  do  have  some  compliance 
assurance issues to achieve. 

Tyro has continued to have negligible fraud and its chargeback ratio is low by industry standards.  

Availability 

Tyro has achieved a 100% availability with its live-live infrastructure. Even during maintenance downtime merchants 
are  able  to  continue  to  transact  as  our  terminals  will  automatically  connect  to  either  data  centre,  and  either 
application switch within each of those data centres. 

One major customer is still working to enable their POS to use either data centre. All other customers are able to 
transparently access either data centre from their POS, providing uninterrupted integrated EFTPOS services. 

During  the  year,  we  completed  development  of  improvements  in  recovery  over  transient  network  failures,  greatly 
improving  the  resiliency  of  the  merchant’s  environment.  This  next  year  will  see  enhancements  to  avoid  the 
unnecessary cancelling and restarting of a transaction during a transient network outage. 

While we have achieved high availability ourselves, our customers are still impacted by failures caused by TELCOs, 
Data Centre Infrastructure or our interconnected banks. We continue to work towards reducing the impact of these 
dependency failures for our customers.

December 2011. The impact of this agreement decreased losses for fiscal year 2009 by $0.1 million, 2010 by $0.9 
million and increased losses for fiscal year 2011 by $0.7 million. 

Investments for Future Performance 

Tyro  has  invested  significantly  in  human  resources  to  develop  its  availability  and  speed  of  the  switching  and 
payments  system  architecture.  It  has  also  invested  in  the  purchase  of  computer  servers  and  networking  and 
security monitoring equipment to ensure sufficient scalability of the production IT infrastructure to meet the expected 
demand for acquiring services. 

In parallel, the Company has been building the non-engineering capability of the business to support the sales and 
operational capability necessary as it scales up its acquiring services. 

Capital Structure 

During the period, Tyro did not issue any additional capital during the period. As at 30 June 2011 Tyro had accounts 
payable of $456,922. 

Cash from Operations 

Tyro continued to operate at a loss for the 2010/11 financial year, in line with the fact that it is still operating under 
the heightened commission agreement for the period and is still in the phase scaling up the operational business. 
Tyro had interest income of $615,194, for the period. 

Funding 

Tyro had cash  and cash equivalents of 15,800,649 at the end of the period. 

Under  its  banking  authority  as  a  Specialist  Credit  Card  Institution  (SCCI),  Tyro  is  subject  to  a  Prudential  Capital 
Ratio  (PCR)  set  by  APRA.  The  regulatory  minima  are  set  in  three  ways,  by  a  PCR,  minimum  Tier  1  Ratio  and  a 
minimum Net Tier 1 Capital requirement. The PCR is confidential and cannot be disclosed. APRA requires Tyro to 
always maintain a prudent buffer above the regulatory minima.

Net Tier 1 Capital

$5.5 million 

Total  Tier  1 capital  held  as  at  30  June  2011  was  $8.8M.  Tyro  has  always  held  sufficient  capital  to  meet  APRA’s 
prudential capital requirements. 

Risk Management 

Tyro is prudentially supervised by APRA and is required to comply with prudential standards and provide quarterly 
capital  adequacy  reporting.  Tyro  has  undertaken  improvements  to  its  risk  management  frameworks,  policies, 
procedures and systems required to ensure on-going compliance with regulatory requirements and to satisfy both 
business needs and external stakeholders of its acquiring business. 

Statement of Compliance 

This  report  is  based  on  the  guidelines  in  The  Group  of  100  Incorporated  Publication  Guide  to  the  Review  of 
Operations and Financial Condition. 

Liquidity 

Although Tyro has made operating losses in prior years, this is in line with expectations given that Tyro remains in 
the start-up and development phase of its business. Tyro has maintained its operating loss for the year ended 30 
June  2011  in  line  with  forecast  and  holds  sufficient  cash  to  pay  its  debts  as  and  when  they  become  due  and 
payable. It is also able to manage and control its expenses. 

For  these  reasons  the  directors  believe  Tyro  is  a  viable  going  concern  as  the  next  phase  of  the  business  plan 
approaches; one of a fully operational business. 

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS 

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs. 

Significant events after balance date 

There are no significant events after balance date. 

Likely developments and expected results 

The  directors  predict  that  in  the  2011/12  financial  year  Tyro  will  continue  to  grow  the  acquiring  business  and 
continue to expand the functionality of electronic transaction acquiring services.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report are set out below:

The financial report of Tyro Payments (the Company) was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 29 September 2011.

Tyro Payments Limited is an unlisted public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

(a) Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards.
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in Australian Dollars ($).

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost and except for some assets, as disclosed in this report, has been measured at fair values.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the current year and the 
comparative period, unless otherwise stated in the relevant note disclosures. Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to be consistent with current period 
disclosures.

(b) Going concern
The Company is in its fifth year of operation and has made an operating loss of $ 1,815,517. It commenced operation in April 2007 with the launch of stand-alone EFTPOS facilities to 
the general public and has been incurring losses since.

The Company has a history of raising sufficient capital to meet the Company's expenditure and prudential capital needs. Tyro Payments Limited is able to control its expenses. Should 
current cash levels not be sufficient to meet the Company's prudential capital requirements, the Company may seek to raise additional funding internally from existing shareholders 
and/or externally from additional strategic investors or implement cost reduction measures. Liabilities recognised relate to trade payables from the course of ordinary operations and a 
loan and related interest from shareholders. No other lending has been sought from financial or other entities.

It is for the above reasons that the directors consider the company is able to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and therefore the entity is able to continue as a going concern.

(c) Statement of compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and complies with International Financial Reporting Standards 
issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Board.

(d) Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not effective
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, which have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the company for the annual 
reporting period ending 30 June 2011, as outlined in the table below:

These new standards, when applied in future periods, are not expected to have a material impact on the statement of financial position and statement of  comprehensive income of the

Related Party 
Disclosures 
(December 
2009)

The revised Standard introduces a number of changes to 
the accounting for financial assets, the most significant of 
which includes:

►    two categories for financial assets being amortised 
cost or fair value

►    strict requirements to determine which financial 
assets can be classified as amortised cost or fair value, 
Financial assets can only be classified as amortised cost 
if (a) the contractual cash flows from the instrument 
represent principal and interest
►    an option for investments in equity instruments which 
are not held for trading to recognise fair value changes 
through other comprehensive income with no impairment 
testing and no recycling through profit or loss on 
derecognition
►    reclassifications between amortised cost and fair 
value no longer permitted unless the entity’s business 
model for holding the asset changes
►    changes to the accounting and additional disclosures 
for equity instruments classified as fair value through 
other comprehensive income
The revised AASB 124 simplifies the definition of a related 
party, clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating 
inconsistencies from the definition, including:

(a)           the definition now identifies a subsidiary and an 
associate with the same investor as related parties of 
each other;
(b)          entities significantly influenced by one person 
and entities significantly influenced by a close member of 
the family of that person are no longer related parties of 
each other; and
(c)          the definition now identifies that, whenever a 
person or entity has both joint control over a second entity 
person or entity has both joint control over a second entity 
and joint control or significant influence over a third party, 
the second and third entities are related to each other.

A partial exemption is also provided from the disclosure 
requirements for government-related entities.  Entities that 
are related by virtue of being controlled by the same 
government can provide reduced related party 
disclosures.

(e) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In applying the Company's accounting policies management continually evaluates judgements, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including 
expectations of future events that may have an impact on the Company. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set 
of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from judgements, estimates and assumptions. Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by 
management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined as follows:

Share-based payments transactions - The Company recognises the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date 
on which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, with the assumptions detailed in Note 9.

Classification of and valuation of investments - The Company classifies its investments in listed securities as 'available -for-sale' investments and movements in fair values are 
recognised directly in equity. The fair value of listed shares has been determined by reference to published price quotations in an active market.

Estimation of useful lives of assets - The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience.  In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least 
once per year and considered against their remaining useful lives. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary. Depreciation charges are included in Note 8.
once per year and considered against their remaining useful lives. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary. Depreciation charges are included in Note 8.

(f) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition 
criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.

(i) Fees income 

The Company derives fees income from the following sources:
- Merchant service fee income is generated from merchant customers for credit and debit card acquiring services. Fees are charged to merchants depending on the type of transaction 
being performed based on a percentage of transaction value or on a fixed amount per transaction.  Fees related to the payment transactions are recognised at the time transactions are 
processed. Interchange fee is recognised as an expense instead of netting-off against merchant service fee income in the income statement.

- Revenue from gift-card transaction fees generated from merchants is based on a fixed fee per transaction and is recognised when transactions are processed.

- Revenue from processing Medicare Easyclaim generated from merchants is based on a fixed fee per transaction and is recognised when transactions are processed.

(ii) Interest income

- Interest income is recognised in the income statement on an accruals basis, using the effective Interest method. This method measures the amortised cost of a financial asset and 
allocates the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the 
financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

(iii) Government/Medicare grant
- Government and government body grant income (such as Medicare) is recognised on a systematic basis over the term of the grant in the income statement. Amounts not yet taken to 
the income statement are held as "unearned income" in trade payables and other liabilities at the present value of future income to be recognised.

(g) Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the 
arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Leases in which the Company retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating 
an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease rental income. Operating lease 
payments are recognised as an income or expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Deferred Income is recognised as a liability on the balance sheet on inception of the lease. The deferred lease incentive is then recognised in the income statement on a straight line 
basis over the term of the lease, through lease expense.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and the Exchange Settlement Account balance (held with the RBA).
For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents are reported net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(i) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an 
allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised 
when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the debt.

(j) Prepayments
Prepayments are recognised for amounts paid whereby goods have not transferred ownership to the company or where services have not yet been provided. Upon receipt of good or 
the service the corresponding asset is recognised in the balance sheet or the expense is recognised in the income statement.

(k) Available-for-sale Investments
Available-for-sale investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment. After initial recognition these 
investments are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold, collected or 
otherwise disposed of or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is transferred to the income statement.

The Company currently does not have any investments categorised as held-for-trading.

Purchases and sale of investments are recognised on settlement date - the date on which the Company receives or delivers the asset.

(l) Inventories
The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the entity from the taxing authorities), 
and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in 
and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in 
determining the costs of purchase. Inventories are subsequently held at the lower of cost and their recoverable amounts. Impairment is assessed on an annual basis (refer to Note 1(p)). 
Inventories are derecognised upon transfer to property, plant and equipment when leased out to merchants or rights to benefits are transferred to a third party.

(m) Income Taxes
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authority. The tax rates and tax laws 
used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial 
statements.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and 
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary 
differences to recognise the deferred tax asset or liability. An exemption is made for temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax 
asset or liability is recognised in relation to temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either 
accounting profit or loss or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets relating to tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences are not carried forward as an asset unless it is probable that the future taxable 
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences, losses and tax credits.

(n) Other Taxes
Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of GST except for the following:

- when the GST incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of 
the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
- trade receivables and trade payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority is included as part of other receivables or other payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows used in or from operating activities are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing 
activities, which is recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority are classified as part of the Company's operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

(o) Acquisition of assets

All assets acquired including property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided 
plus any incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

Expenditure is only recognised as an asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.

(p) Recoverable amount of inventory and property, plant and equipment
The carrying amounts of inventory and property, plant and equipment valued on the cost basis are reviewed to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amounts at 
balance date. If the carrying amount of such an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. 

The write-down is expensed in the reporting period in which it occurs.

Recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair-value-less-costs-to-sell and its value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their 
present values using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Where a group of assets working together supports the generation of cash inflows, their recoverable amounts are determined as part of the cash-generating unit to which the group of 
asset belongs, unless the value-in-use of this group of assets can be estimated to be close to its fair value.

(q) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Cost and Valuation

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value (Note 1 (o)). The Company recognises in the carrying amount of an 
item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing parts when the cost is incurred and the recognition criteria are met. When each major inspection is performed, its cost is 
recognised in the carrying amount of the item of property, plant or equipment, as a replacement, provided that the recognition criteria are satisfied.

(ii) Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each specific item of property, plant and equipment.

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Plant and equipment:

   - EFTPOS terminals

   - Furniture and office equipment

   - Computer equipment

The assets' residual values, remaining useful lives and depreciation methods are reassessed and adjusted, if appropriate at each balance sheet date.

(iii) Impairment

The impairment testing for property, plant and equipment is conducted in accordance with the Accounting Policy in Note 1(o).

(iv) Derecognition and disposal

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from continued use of the asset. Gains and losses on 
disposals are calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the asset's carrying amount and are included in the income statement in the year the asset is 
derecognised.

Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised over the period of expected benefit from the related project.

(r) Trade and other payables
Merchant Payables are amounts owing to merchants for transactions done in which Tyro has received the monies from the relevant schemes and financial institutions.

Merchant Payables to merchants are only recognised to the extent that a liability arises. This liability arises when the proceeds have been paid by the schemes and financial institutions. 

Liabilities for trade and other payables are carried at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the 
Company.

(s) Interest-bearing loan and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans 
and liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that are yield related are included as part 
of the cost of the loans and liabilities. The fair value of the options attached to the loan are also included in the cost of the loan. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the 
Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for 12 months after the reporting date. 

Borrowing costs consists or interest and other costs incurred in the borrowing of funds. Tyro Payments does not currently hold qualifying assets but, if it did, the borrowing costs directly 
associated with this asset would be capitalised (including any other associated costs directly attributable to the borrowing and temporary investment income earned on the borrowing ).

(t)  Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying 
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the impact of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.  Where discounting is used, the 
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the balance sheet, but are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a 
liability or represent an existing liability in respect of which settlement is not probable or the amount cannot be reliably measured. Only when settlement becomes probable will a liability 
be recognised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

(t)  Provisions and contingencies (cont'd)

The Company is contingently liable for processed credit card sales transactions in the event of a dispute between the cardholder and a merchant. If a dispute is resolved in the 
cardholder’s favour, the Company will credit or refund the amount to the cardholder and charge back the transaction to the merchant. If the Company is unable to collect the amount 
from the merchant, the Company will bear the loss for the amount credited or refunded to the cardholder. 

Management evaluates the risk of such transactions and estimates its potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and other relevant factors. If there is 
objective evidence that a loss on merchant accounts has been incurred, a provision is maintained for merchant losses necessary to absorb chargebacks and other losses for merchant 
transactions that have been previously processed and on which revenues have been recorded. 

(u) General reserve for charge backs

The Company provisions against credit risk by a general reserve for charge backs. The Company estimates the reserve by using a multiple of historical losses over a rolling 120 day 
period of transaction values. The general reserve for charge backs is then allocated as a separate reserve within equity.

The methodology and assumptions used for estimating chargeback provisions are reviewed regularly to reduce any possibilities that uncollectible chargebacks may not have been 
specifically identified. 

(v) Employee benefits
Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and 
long service leave.

Entitlements arising in respect of salaries and wages, annual leaves and other employee benefits that are expected be settled within one year have been measured at their nominal 
amounts.

Entitlements that arise in respect of long service leave which are expected to be settled more than 12 months after the reporting date have been measured at their present values of 
expected future payments.

No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave to be taken in the future by all employees at reporting date is estimated to be less 
than the annual entitlement for sick leaves.

Employee benefit expenses arising in respect of the following categories:

-   wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave and other leave benefits; and

-   other types or employee benefits

are recognised in the income statement on a net basis in their respective categories.

(w) Share-based payment transactions
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees (including Key Management Personnel) via the Employee Share Option Plan, whereby employees render services in 
exchange for rights over the Company's shares.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.  The fair value is 
determined internally using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with any corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the employees become fully entitled to the award (the 
vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the number of 
awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is based on the best available information at the reporting date. No adjustment is made for 
the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest. There were no modifications to the terms of the outstanding options during the financial year. Details of the types of 
share-based payments and their respective terms and vesting conditions are disclosed in Note 9.

(x) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are accounted in contributed equity as a deduction, net of tax, from 
the proceeds of issue.

(y) Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the spot rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at their historic rates of exchange at their respective transaction dates.

(z) Derecognition of assets and liabilities
Assets and liabilities are derecognised from the balance sheet upon sale, maturity or settlement. Gains and losses arising from derecognition of these assets and liabilities are 
accounted in the income statement.

* The company has not recognised any deferred tax on the basis that it does not meet the requirements under AASB 112 "Income Taxes"

The new Australian legislation for financial arrangements, TOFA, aims to align the tax and accounting recognition and measurement of financial arrangements and their related flows.

The Company does not meet the threshold requirement for an automatic application of the TOFA regime for the 30 June 2011 income year, nor has made any election in relation to the 
election methodologies under the TOFA provisions.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

9.SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The Company will provide benefits to employees and directors from time to time including share-based payments as remuneration for service.

(a) Employee Share Option Plan

The Employee Share Option Plan was established to grant options over ordinary shares in the Company to employees or directors of the company or to external consultants who 
provide services to the Company. 

Options granted pursuant to the Employee Share Option Plan may be exercised, in whole or part, subject to vesting terms and conditions as indicated below:

Type of Option
Linear vesting schedule

Service vesting schedule

Vesting Terms and Conditions
Options granted will vest in proportion to the time that passes linearly during the vesting schedule, subject to maintaining continuous 
status as an employee or consultant with the Company during the vesting schedule.

The options vest according to a period of service may be exercised as to a set number of shares per agreed day of service, as defined 
in the specific option grant.

Fully vested at time of grant

Options may be exercised as to all shares from the vesting commencement date.

Other relevant terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Employee Share Option Plan include:

 - the term of each option grant shall be 7 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as provided in the Employee Share Option Plan agreement. 
 - Each option entitles the holder to one ordinary share.
 - All awards granted under the Employee Share Option Plan are equity-settled. 

(b) Fair value of options

The weighted average fair value of the share options granted during the financial year is 2 cents (2010: 2 cents).

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model. The following table lists the assumptions used in determining 
the fair value of the options granted in the years ended 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010:

Dividend yield (%)

Expected volatility (%)

Risk-free interest rate (%)

Share price ($)

2011

74%

4.70% - 5.28%

$0.04

2010
0%

5.79%

A zero dividend policy assumption is used for valuing all option grants. This is in line with the Company's capital management policy and growth strategy.
A zero dividend policy assumption is used for valuing all option grants. This is in line with the Company's capital management policy and growth strategy.

Expected volatility used is the historical volatility of the peer group. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may not 
necessarily be the actual outcome.

The average expected life for 7 year options is assumed to be 5 - 6 years from the grant date. The expected life for 10 year option is assumed to be 5 - 8 years. For all other options with 
a contractual life of 1 - 5 years or less, the expected life is assumed to be the total contractual life (years) from grant date to expiry date. 

There were no options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2011 (2010: 103,261).
The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as at 30 June 2011 was 5.65 years (2010: 5.27 years).

The general reserve for credit losses has been created to satisfy Australian Prudential and Regulation Authority (APRA) prudential standards for Authorised Deposit-Taking Institutions 
(ADI) to maintain a general reserve for credit losses. The Company applies an internal methodology to estimate the credit risk of its merchant customers and the maximum expected 
losses based upon a number of assumptions concerning the performance of merchants in relation to the Company's credit risk grading system and actual experience.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCESSES

The Company's principal financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets and trade 
and other payables.

(i) Risk management 
The Board is responsible for approving and reviewing the risk management strategy and framework and all risk management policies. The Board also ensures senior management has 
identified all risks and that those risks are managed and controlled appropriately. Senior management is responsible for implementing the Board's approved risk management strategy 
and for developing policies, controls, processes and procedures to identify and manage risks in all of the Company’s activities. The Board has installed a Board Risk Committee to assist 
the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in the management of risk. The Risk Committee overseas matters relating to credit, capital, liquidity, operational and other aspects of risk 
management. 

(ii) Risk controls
Risks are controlled through a system that identifies key risks, establishes controls to manage those risks (with an emphasis on preventive control), and maintains a regular review 
process to monitor the effectiveness of controls.  Business risks are controlled within tolerance levels set by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Board. A set of control and 
compliance principles provide prudent standards for risk management.

(iii) Internal audit
The Company has an internal audit function program which provides independent assurance to the Board to the adequacy and effectiveness of the control environment and risk 
framework. Internal Audit also reviews the controls implemented by management to ensure compliance with APRA's prudential requirements. This program of internal control and audit 
is reviewed and approved on a regular basis by the Audit Committee.

(iv) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. Credit risk arises from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent balances, exposures to merchants 
and held to maturity investments. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amounts of the financial assets at reporting date. The Company's credit risk 
management principles define the framework and core values which govern its credit risk taking activities and reflect the priorities established by the Board. 

From these principles flow the development of the target market strategies, underwriting standards and credit procedures which define the operating processes. The operation of a credit 
risk grading system coupled with ongoing monitoring, reporting and review controls allows the Company to identify changes in the credit quality at client and portfolio levels, and take 
necessary corrective actions in a timely manner.

In addition, the Company is subject to the risk of credit card chargebacks in the event of a merchant failure. The maximum period of credit risk the Company is potentially liable for such 
chargebacks 120 days after the date of the transaction. The Company prudently manages the credit risk associated with its merchant portfolio both at an individual and a portfolio level, 
by monitoring the concentration of risk by industry and type of counterparty.

It is the Company's policy that all merchants are subject to credit verification procedures including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience 
and industry reputation. The Company has an existing portfolio of low-risk merchant categories and therefore minimal exposure to credit risk in terms of liabilities. 

As part of equity, a general provision reserve for credit losses is raised to cover losses due to uncollectible chargebacks that have not been specifically identified. The reserve is 
As part of equity, a general provision reserve for credit losses is raised to cover losses due to uncollectible chargebacks that have not been specifically identified. The reserve is 
calculated based on estimation of potential credit risk in the merchant portfolio based on a multiple of historical loss experience. 'The Company does not hold any credit derivatives of 
collaterals to offset its credit exposure. The Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties and as such no collaterals are requested nor is it the Company's policy to 
securities any of its financial assets. Credit exposures are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company's exposure to bad debts is not significant at reporting date.

(v) Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk that arises from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events. The definition is aligned to the regulatory (Basel II) 
definition, including legal and regulatory risk but excluding strategic and reputation risk.

(vi) Market risk
Market risk is the risk the fair value or future cashflows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices or conditions, and comprises interest rate risk, foreign 
currency risk and other price risk. The Company does not engage in financial market trading activities nor assume any foreign exchange, interest rate or other derivative positions and 
does not have a trading book. The Company does not undertake any hedging around the values of its financial instruments as any risk of loss is considered insignificant to the 
operations of the Company.

Any government securities, bank bills or other marketable instruments that the Company holds are for investment or liquidity purposes and held in the normal course of business in line 
with investment and liquidity guidelines. Each component of market risk is detailed below as follows:

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (cont'd)

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED
ABN 49 103 575 042

(a) Interest rate risk
The Company's financial assets and liabilities are subject to interest rate risk as their fair values will fluctuate in accordance with movements in the market interest rates. The Company 
has exposure to interest rate risk on its variable interest-bearing cash and cash equivalent balances.  Held-to-maturity investments in treasury bonds are at fixed interest rate rates and 
as such are not exposed to any interest rate risk fluctuations.  All other financial assets and financial liabilities at reporting date are non-interest bearing.

The following net exposure to interest rate risk is to be reported at balance sheet date:

Cash and cash equivalents

Sensitivity analysis:

2011

2010

15,799,885

12,035,007

An increase of 100 basis points in the general cash rate (assuming every other factors being constant) will reduce the Company's loss after tax and increase equity by $157,998 
(2010:$120,350). A decrease of 100 basis points in the general cash rate will have an equal and opposite effect.

(b) Foreign Currency risk
Tyro is not exposed to foreign currency risk in the settlement of merchant transactions as all moneys received and paid are in Australian Dollars. 

The Company's settlement of fees with card schemes and the purchases of inventory from foreign suppliers are transacted in foreign currencies and any balances at reporting date are 
translated at the exchange rate prevailing the balance sheet date. At reporting date the Company has some US Dollar and Euro exposure. 

The following USD and EUR net exposure is to be reported at balance sheet date:

An appreciation of 15% of the US Dollar and EUR compared to the Australian Dollar (assuming every other factors being constant) will reduce the Company's loss after tax and increase 
equity by $177,879 (2010: $248,752). A depreciation of 15% of the US Dollar and EUR compared to the Australian Dollar will increase the company's loss after tax and reduce equity by 
$309,354 (2010:$432,612).

(c ) Other Price Risk
The Company's investment in available-for-sale financial assets is valued by way of reference to an underlying listed equity on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and as such its 
fair value will fluctuate in direct proportion with the quoted market price indicated. However, this investment is not linked to any NYSE Market Index and any form of Price risk as a result 
of movements caused by any specific index is considered minimal. No sensitivity analysis has been performed.

(vii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will have insufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due. This risk is managed by liquidity forecasting , maintaining adequate cash 
resources for future expenditure and other financial commitments. The Company's liquidity risk management policy aims to ensure that enough high quality liquid assets are always 
available for the Company's cash flow and liquidity requirements.
The company forecasts cashflow and liquidity needs on a monthly basis with detailed period analysis for critical funding periods such as Christmas. The company also has a capital plan 
in place which outlines triggers for required funding should liquidity be required.

At balance sheet date, the board of directors determined that there was a sufficient cash resources available to meet its anticipated expenditure and other financial liabilities.

(viii) Fair values

The Company uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:
Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived 
from prices).
Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of the financial instruments as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised in the table below.

Quoted market price represents the fair value determined based on quoted prices on active markets as at the reporting date without any deduction for transaction costs.

For financial instruments not quoted in active markets, the Company uses valuation techniques such as present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market 
observable prices exist and other relevant models used by market participants. These valuation techniques use both observable and unobservable market inputs.

Transfer between categories
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year.

(ix) Capital Management
The Company maintains an actively managed capital base to cover risks inherent in the business. The adequacy of the Company's capital is monitored using, among other measures, 
the rules and ratios established by APRA. The Company has aligned its objectives and processes in respect of risk management around the prudential standards.

The Company has an internal policy target ratio above the prudential limit requirement and includes elements for risk exposures such as market, operations and credit risk.

During the past year, the Company complied in full with APRA's capital minima. In all planning, the Company maintains a buffer above regulatory capital adequacy requirements to 
ensure that the level of capital held is appropriate for the level and type of risks associated with the acquiring business.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments relating to BECS 

Tyro pays merchants through the BECS system (Bulk Electronic Clearing System). Tyro commits the amount to be paid to merchants with the BECS file sent. The amount committed 
must be available on the RBA Exchange Settlement Account (ESA), a day before the actual payment. At balance date, the amount committed was $7,158,179.  This commitment was 
settled the following day. 

On each settlement day, Tyro would have  received a portion of the funds committed, thus the actual contingent asset and corresponding liability would be less than the total amount 
committed.  

Contingent liabilities -secured

The Company has provided an irrevocable standby letter of credit of $2,750,541, secure through fixed charges over term deposits with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and 
Westpac Banking Corporation, to MasterCard International and Visa International. These are one-year arrangements that are subject to automatic renewal on a yearly basis. 
MasterCard International and Visa International, at their discretion, may increase the required amounts of the standby letters of credit upon written request to the Company. The required 
amounts of the standby letters of credit are dependent on MasterCard International's and Visa International's view of their risk exposure to the Company. 

A bank guarantee is held with the Westpac Banking Corporation in relation to the lease arrangement for the office premises. The amount represents 9 months rent and is refundable on 
expiry of the lease agreement, subject to satisfactory vacation of the leased premises.

17. LEASES

(a) Operating lease commitments - Company as lessor
Prior to April 2010, Tyro operated a "rent to own" model whereby ownership of the terminal would transfer to the merchant once they had made 36 consecutive rental payments. 
However Tyro bears the risk of repairing or replacing the terminal over the 3 year period. The merchant would then continue to pay a service and maintenance fee after this period. 
There is no minimum rental period for merchants and they are able to terminate with Tyro at any time with no penalty or buy out fees.     

From April 2010, the company has moved to a perpetual rental model whereby there will be no transfer of ownership of the asset and the merchant will pay rental for the duration that 
they are with Tyro.
