The CEO Report 

Building a specialised banking institution (SCCI) for merchants 

Tyro Payments Limited (or “Tyro”) is an Australian banking institution accepting electronic payments on behalf of 
merchants. Tyro does not take money on deposit. 

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 is a 
Principal Member of Visa and MasterCard and a Tier 1 Member of the payment clearing streams BECS and 
CECS.  

Tyro is an accredited provider for Medicare Australia Easyclaim. Patients can use the Tyro Medicare Easyclaim 
solution to claim their Medicare rebate once they have paid their account—the rebate is then paid into their bank 
account almost immediately.  

Tyro provides an in-house developed, end-to-end solution, authorising, clearing and settling electronic card 
payments. Tyro accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express/JCB, Diners, PIN based EFTPOS as well as 
Medicare Easyclaim, gift and loyalty card transactions.  

The Tyro solution is IP based and all transactions are processed in real time. 

At the end of June 2012, Tyro completed its fifth 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 CPS510: 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 three directors including the Chairman meeting 
APRA’s independence requirements.  

The directors of the board have set standards applicable at all levels of Tyro to ensure 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. The board 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.

The year’s highlight for Tyro was passing the break-even point 

In the month of December 2011 and then every month from March 2012 onwards, Tyro delivered a net profit.  

Since February 2003, Tyro has been working on developing its technology, gaining access to the banking system 
and building its merchant portfolio. After nine years, Tyro has now crossed the monthly break-even point.

Historical financial year summary 

Tyro launched its first EFTPOS facility in April 2007. In the following five fiscal years the transaction volume grew 
by 125 per cent year on year and the operating income by 92 per cent. The operations, support services and sales 
marketing capacity was successively put into place. This led to a 16 per cent annual increase of the total 
expenses.

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. 

During the year, Tyro has certified further Point of Sale (POS) software vendors that target specifically the 
pharmacy space. We expect to build our presence in that segment further. 

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 (PMS). The seamless 
electronic payment, claiming, reimbursement and reconciliation solution was launched in April 2009. The claim and 
Medicare card data is automatically transferred from the PMS, where it resides, through the Tyro EFTPOS terminal 
to Medicare and from Medicare back to the PMS for reconciliation.

Annual Report 2012

During the year the integrated Medicare Easyclaim solution was also launched with Blue Chip, HCN’s equivalent 
PMS for the specialist medical practices space. Since report date, Tyro has launched Easyclaim with a second 
PMS provider Medilink. 

Medicare statistics show that in June 2012 there were 8,685,740 million claims for GP Professional Attendances. 
During the same month, Tyro processed 881,496 Easyclaim transactions. Thus at this juncture, Tyro is assumed to 
process in excess of 10.15% of GP professional attendances in Australia. By end of June 2012, a total of 1,327 
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 EFTPOS integration protocol directly with 
Tyro. This means that integration with Tyro TTA no longer requires weeks of effort but merely days and 
integrations are far more robust. 

As at 30 June 2011, Tyro had 37 certified POS integrations. During the year, Tyro completed integration and 
certification with a 12 further POS vendors. Currently, Tyro has 69 certified POS and PMS solutions, 8 POS 
solutions in certification and 26 at some stage of development.  

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.  There  is  now  a  comprehensive  suite  of  features  including 
tipping at table, tip completion at the POS, splitting amounts and opening bar tabs.  
At this stage, Tyro is not aware of any other acquirer that offers similar functionality. As at June 30th 2012 Tyro has 
signed up to 664 hospitality merchants.

Leveraging the Internet 

The Tyro architecture has brought EFTPOS into the internet age. Tyro removes constraints and enables 
businesses, no longer tied to legacy technology, to radically improve the efficiency of their processes. 

Merchants can increase transaction speed and lower communication expense by using the public internet or for 
larger retail organisations their corporate network.   

Software vendors can integrate directly with Tyro eliminating an expensive software and hardware middleware 
layer and thus point of failure used by incumbents for aggregation and integration purposes.  

Tyro provides the capability of secure integrated credit and debit card processing in a “thin client” (web-based) 
infrastructure. At this stage, Tyro is not aware of any other acquirer that offers similar functionality.  

Availability 

Tyro has maintained 100% uptime with its live-live infrastructure. Even during maintenance downtime merchants 
are able to continue to transact as our terminals will automatically connect to any available application switch 
within either of our two data centres. When integrated the merchant’s POS also uses either data centre. 

During the year, Tyro regularly tested recovery of our infrastructure components and transient network failures. 

Security  

Since April 2012, all EFTPOS terminals in Australia must support EMV acceptance (Chip cards). 100% of Tyro's 
active terminal fleet are accepting chip cards. 

While competitors claim exemption from PCI PA DSS, Tyro has retained its accreditation for this certification. 
Because of the architecture it uses, Tyro has remained without any merchant or terminal compromises. Its 
competitors have not fared so well with their exempted solutions, with a number of reports in the press around card 
data compromises. 

Tyro did have some minor incidences during the year which it quickly got on top of, upgrading the software to 
better protect its merchants. In addition to get on the front foot, Tyro has tightened security in the terminal 
application to prevent unreported stolen terminals from being used to commit fraud. This upgrade is being rolled 
out now.  

Tyro continues to look for ways to enhance the security of its applications. Tyro has commenced implementing 
additional fraud controls around refunds, which will be rolled out during the next 6 months. 

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. 

Employees 

Tyro employed 68 employees as at 30 June 2012 (compared to 54 employees at 30 June 2011). They 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.

The highlights in the industry 

Hype around new mobile payment technologies mainly capitalising on the propagation of smartphones is 
invigorating innovation and investment into front-end payment solutions. With NFC, iPhone 5, Apple Passbook, 
Google Wallet, Square, PayPal and others, consumers and merchants are daily overwhelmed with news on new 
developments in mobile payments and mobile-pass technology.  

As these new solutions get adopted, this will result in dramatically increased transaction volumes putting further 
stress on the failing back-end legacy core payment systems. Tyro has been very vocal and critical in that regard.  

Regulatory environment 

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has concluded its Strategic Review of Innovation in the payment space with 
increased engagement and oversight. There are significant efforts under way to reinforce the governance 
framework, so as to drive the overdue investments into an open, real-time retail payment infrastructure addressing:  

real-time interbank settlement and account posting 

• 
•  network choice in contactless environments 
• 
•  access to the payment system infrastructure 

retail payment system reliability 

Tyro continues to suffer from constraints due to the challenging eftpos access regime and expansion barriers and 
imbalanced and discriminatory structures and behaviours in the payment space. The score card for the industry’s 
ability of allowing a new entrant to compete within fair rules and on a level playing field continues to fall short.  

If that remains the case, parallel payment worlds will develop without regulatory oversight and thus with all the 
risks and failures that this engenders for the community. It is in the public interest to have an open but regulated 
payment system where innovation can happen inside the system with trust and security maintained.  

The RBA is currently reviewing the domestic debit card system. It has decided to maintain the designation 
although narrowing the definition to debit card transactions under the eftpos Payment Australia Limited scheme. 
Currently the RBA is reviewing the eftpos access regime and the eftpos interchange fee. The outcome of this 
review may have a significant impact on Tyro and the sole acquirer business model in general. 

Positioning in the new world 

The new world of mobile internet connected POS and EFTPOS devices and of cloud based applications should 
play well to Tyro’s strengths of an end-to-end internet acquiring platform and its secure internet integration 
architecture. Tyro owning its technology should be able to compete well with bringing innovative solutions fast to 
market and with custom tailored features and functions to the requirement of specific vertical market segments.  

Currently, Tyro is extending its software partnerships to those vendors that provide selling and payment solutions 
in this new cloud world. Tyro proposes the easiest, safest and most reliable direct integration model for new POS 
software entrants or incumbents extending their offerings to the new platforms.    

Tyro is launching its new desktop colour contactless terminal in October followed by a mobile version mid next 
year. While there is a lot of enthusiasm, Tyro has to be recognisant that the real ubiquitous infrastructure for 
smartphones and tablets to be capable of handling payments, passes and membership cards is possibly a decade 
away. And even then, merchants will have to accept all the older payment instruments, be it cash, check, magnetic 
and EMV card, mobile wallet, coupons… 

Tyro sees itself as the trusted partner of the software industry and the merchant community navigating through the 
proliferation of payment instruments and offering seamless and efficiently integrated solutions.  

Strategic choice – further investment 

Against the background of all the opportunities arising from new technologies, Tyro intends to invest significantly 
into the further build-up of its engineering team. Tyro is currently in the market seeking top notch Java Developers. 
This is challenging, since Tyro needs only top talent to work on its mission critical payment and banking 
applications. On the other hand Tyro is very unique and attractive marrying agile development methods, with deep 
banking knowledge and an opportunity to make a major difference for the Australian community.

One of Tyro’s business partners agreed with Tyro to forego commission payments for the period extending from 
the 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2010 in return for a heightened commission payment for the period from the 1 July 
2010 to 31 December 2011.  

The impact of this agreement decreased losses for FY 0809 by $0.1 million and FY 0910 by $0.9 million. Losses 
increased by $0.7 million for FY 1011 and by $0.4 million for FY 1112. 

Investments for Future Performance 

Tyro has invested significantly in human resources to develop testing of our availability and speed of the switching 
and payments system architecture. It has also invested in the purchase of computer servers and networking 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. 

Currently, Tyro is in the market to hire Java Developers to increase the engineering capacity further. 

Capital Structure 

During the period, Tyro issued 54,618,733 ordinary shares on 12 December 2011 raising $2,730,936.65 of 
additional capital. The capital was raised to ensure Tyro is fully compliant with prudential capital requirements 
imposed by APRA and to fund on-going operations.  

A further 1,036,232 ordinary shares were issued upon exercise of options on 25 June 2012 raising $65,507.26.  

As at 30 June 2012 Tyro had accounts payable of $393,799. 

Cash from Operations 

Tyro continued to operate at a loss for the 2011/12 financial year, in line with the fact that it still operated under the 
heightened commission agreement for the first half of the period, accrued officer bonuses for the prior year, 
migrated Officer bonuses and Director compensation from share based payments to cash. Also, Tyro is still in the 
phase scaling up the operational business. Tyro had interest income of $794,152, for the period.

Funding 

Tyro had cash and cash equivalents of $18,183,122 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.  

Internal limits are always above the capital minima and these internal limits currently are: 

Level 1 

PCR 

22% 

Tier 1 Ratio 

Net Tier 1 Capital 

22% 

$5.5 million 

Total Tier 1 capital held as at 30 June 2012 was $11.5M. 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. 

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 development and scaling up phase of its business. Tyro has maintained its operating loss for the fiscal year 
ended 30 June 2012 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

continue to expand the functionality of electronic transaction acquiring services.

Unissued shares 

As at the date of this report, there were 77,384,544 un-issued ordinary shares under options under the Employee

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

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 Limited (the Company) was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the 
directors on 20 September 2012. 

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 
2001and 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, with the exception of available for sale financial 
instrucments which have been measured at fair value. 

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 sixth year of operation and has made an operating loss of $528,234 (2011: $1,815,517) . It commenced 
operations 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. 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 Company 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 ended 30 June 2012, 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 Company.

Summary 

AASB 9 

Financial 
Instruments 

AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and 
measurement of financial assets.  It was further amended 
by AASB 2010-7 to reflect amendments to the accounting 
for financial liabilities. 

These requirements improve and simplify the approach for 
classification and measurement of financial assets 
compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main 
changes are described below.  

(a) Financial assets that are debt instruments will be 
classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business 
model for managing the financial assets; (2) the 
characteristics of the contractual cash flows.  

(b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to 
present gains and losses on investments in equity 
instruments that are not held for trading in other 
comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these 
investments that are a return on investment can be 
recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or 
recycling on disposal of the instrument.  

(c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at 
fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing 
so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or 
recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring 
assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on 
them, on different bases. 

(d) Where the fair value option is used for financial 
liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for 
as follows: 

► The change attributable to changes in credit risk are 
presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) 

► The remaining change is presented in profit or loss 

If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting 
mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in 
credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. 

Consequential amendments were also made to other 
standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 
2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10.

Summary 

AASB 13 

Fair Value 
Measurement 

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for 
determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 
does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, 
but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value 
when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this 
definition may result in different fair values being determined 
for the relevant assets.

AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all 
assets or liabilities carried at fair value.  This includes 
information about the assumptions made and the qualitative 
impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. 

Consequential amendments were also made to other 
standards via AASB 2011-8. 

AASB 1053  Application of 

Tiers of 
Australian 
Accounting 
Standards  

This Standard establishes a differential financial reporting 
framework consisting of two Tiers of reporting requirements 
for preparing general purpose financial statements: 

1-Jul-13 

1-Jul-13 

(a) Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and 

(b) Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced 
Disclosure Requirements. 

Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and 
presentation requirements of Tier 1 and substantially reduced 
disclosures corresponding to those requirements. 

The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing 
general purpose financial statements: 

(a)  for-profit entities in the private sector that have public 
accountability (as defined in this Standard); and 
(b)  the Australian Government and State, Territory and 

Local Government.

(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. 

(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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

1.  STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(i) Fee income  

The Company derives fee 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 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

 - Revenue from terminal rental income generated from merchants is based on a fixed rental from terminals. 

- Revenue from DC Interchange generated from banks is based on a fixed fee per transaction and is recognised when 
transactions are processed. 

- 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. 

-Revenue from DCC transactions 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income 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. 

(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 Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over 
the lease term. 

Deferred income is recognised as a liability on the Statement of Financial Position on inception of the lease. The deferred 
lease incentive is then recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the term of the 
lease, through lease expense. 

(h) Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the 
purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are reported net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

1.  STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(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. Term Deposits are 
included in Trade and other receivable. 

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 goods or the service the corresponding asset is recognised in the 
Statement of Financial Position or the expense is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

(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 Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

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

Purchase 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 Company 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 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 by the reporting date. 

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

1.  STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(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 Statement of Financial Position. 

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. 

(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 Statement of Financial Position. 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. 

The 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.

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 (l)). 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 

2012 

3 years 

5 years 

4 years 

2011 

3 years 

5 years 

4 years 

The assets' residual values, remaining useful lives and depreciation methods are reassessed and adjusted, if appropriate at each 
reporting 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year the asset is 
derecognised. 

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

1.  STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(r) Trade and other payables 

Merchant payables arise when the Company has received 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 and received by Tyro. 

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 is 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 of interest and other costs incurred in the borrowing of funds.  

(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 Statement of Financial Position, 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. 

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. 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 chargebacks 

The Company provisions against credit risk by a general reserve for chargebacks. 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 chargebacks 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.

1.  STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(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 to 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 leave. 

(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 reporting 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 Statement of Financial Position upon sale, maturity or settlement. Gains and 
losses arising from derecognition of these assets and liabilities are accounted in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

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 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 

Vesting Terms and Conditions 

Linear vesting schedule 

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. 

Service 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 fair vaue of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model. No options 
were issued for the year ended 30 June 2012. The table below lists the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the 
options granted during the year ended 30 June 2011:  

Dividend yield (%) 

Expected volatility (%) 

Risk-free interest rate (%) 

Share price ($) 

2011 

0% 

74% 

4.70% - 5.28% 

$0.04 

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 5 year or less, the expected life is assumed 
to be the total contractual life from the date of grant to the expiry date. 
There were 1,036,232 options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: 0). 

The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as at 30 June 2012 was 4.65 years (2011: 
5.65 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 2012 

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 approved by the Risk Committee and Board. 

(iii) Internal audit 
The Company has an internal audit function which provides independent assurance to the Board on 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 fail 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 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 allows the Company to identify changes in credit quality at client and portfolio levels and to take corrective actions in a 
timely manner. 

In addition, the Company is subject to the risk of credit card chargebacks. The maximum period the Company is potentially 
liable for such chargebacks is 120 days after the date of the transaction. The Company prudently manages 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.  

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. The Company does not hold any credit derivatives or collateral to offset its credit exposure. The Company trades 
only with recognised, creditworthy third parties and as such no collaterals are requested. 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.

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 cash flows 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:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 

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

(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 reporting date: 

Cash and cash equivalents 

18,183,122  

14,298,801  

Sensitivity analysis: 

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 $181,831 (2011:$142,988). A decrease of 100 basis points in the general cash rate will have an 
equal and opposite effect. 

2012 

2011 

(b) Foreign Currency risk 

Tyro is not exposed to foreign currency risk in the settlement of merchant transactions as all monies 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 reporting 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 $212,961.45 (2011: $177,879). 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 $370,367.73 
(2011:$309,354). 

(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.

(c ) Other Price Risk 

(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 cash flow 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 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 transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the current year. But no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 
during the previous year.

(ix) Capital Management 

'The Capital Plan is reviewed within the strategic process and is included within the strategic plan and 3 year business plan 
(financials) including key performance targets and contingency plans if key performance measures are not met. The Company 
maintains capital to cover risks inherent in the business and as aligns its objectives and processes in respect of risk 
management around the prudential standards. The adequacy of the Company's capital is regularly monitored and measured 
consistent with the rules and requirements of APRA. 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.

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 terminal rental for the duration that they are with Tyro.
