The CEO Report 

Building a specialised banking institution for merchants 

Overview 

Tyro was founded on 3 February 2003 by Peter Haig, Andrew Rothwell and Paul Wood. Two founders, Peter Haig 
and Andrew Rothwell, have maintained their active association with Tyro. In November 2004, Jost Stollmann 
became a major investor, then Director and CEO. Kerry Roxburgh joined as non-executive Director on 18 April 
2008. He was appointed Chairman of the Board on 19 February 2010. 

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.  

The Payments System Board of the Reserve Bank has decided in principle to vary the Access Regimes applying 
to the designated MasterCard and Visa systems in Australia and to seek removal of the current specialist credit 
card institution (SCCI) framework, administered by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). 

The change requires the repeal of Regulation 4 of the Banking Regulations 1966. The change is expected to 
become effective later in the year. The RBA will liaise with the Australian Payments Clearing Association (APCA) 
to seek to ensure that the removal of the SCCI framework does not have adverse consequences for participants in 
other payment systems such as the Bulk Electronic Clearing System (BECS) that Tyro uses to settle its merchants. 

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 via the EFTPOS network at the practice. 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, EFTPOS as well as Medicare Easyclaim transactions.  

The Tyro solution is internet based and all transactions are processed in real time. Tyro focusses on the small-to-
medium business community and their brick and mortar points of business. Tyro embeds its payment solutions into 
business software and markets these through the respective software partner. At the end of June 2014, Tyro 
completed its seventh full fiscal year of trading, since the commercial launch of its first EFTPOS facility on 26 April 
2007. 

Our vision and guiding principles 

To be the most efficient provider of merchant payment services in Australia that save time and work, everyday, 
everywhere. Tyro listens, understands, develops, integrates and supports flawless solutions that plug in and just 
work for merchants. 

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 payments industry. 

Corporate Governance 

This statement outlines our corporate governance framework, policies and practices. 

Framework and approach 

At all times demonstrate behaviour that is consistent with being a good corporate citizen by acting honestly, fairly, 
diligently and in accordance with the law. All directors, managers, employees and contractors are expected to act 
with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of Tyro. 
Processes are in place to promote and communicate these policies. The Board has set a requisite Code of 
Conduct at all levels. This approach includes a commitment to governance standards which Tyro sees as intrinsic 
to the success of our business and our performance.

Australia 

Tyro complies with the Corporations Act and as an ADI must comply with governance requirements prescribed by 
APRA under Prudential Standard CPS 510 Governance. The following three key principles apply to the Board and 
all employees of Tyro. Directors and employees will act with honesty and integrity;  act lawfully and within the spirit 
of the law; and  act within the spirit of justice and equity. 

Over time, Tyro will adopt and report against the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 
(ASXCGC Recommendations) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (ASXCGC). 

Board 

The primary role of the Board is to provide effective governance over company affairs whilst having regard for the 
interests of all stakeholders and best corporate governance practices. 

•  Approve the strategic direction and objectives for Tyro. 

•  Evaluate the performance of the Board and Board committees 

•  Manage the succession, remuneration and performance of Board members, the CEO and direct reports of 

the CEO. 

•  Consider and approve Tyro’s annual budget including revenue, profit, capital expenditure and cash flows, 
as proposed by management, ensuring appropriate resources are available to achieve the business 
objectives. 

•  Evaluate executive management’s performance in the implementation and achievement of business 

objectives and strategies. 

•  Review and approve capital management policies and plans having regard for the various liquidity and 

capital adequacy regulatory requirements applying to Tyro. 

•  Ensure business risks are identified and approve systems of risk management, regulatory compliance and 

control and associated group policies to manage those risks. 

•  Monitor management’s implementation of, and compliance with, these systems and controls. 

•  Determine and approve the level of authority to be granted to the CEO in respect of operating and capital 
expenditures and credit facilities and authorise the further delegation of those authorities to management 

In carrying out its responsibilities and powers as set out in this Charter, the Board will at all times recognise its 
overriding responsibility to act honestly, fairly, diligently and in accordance with the law. 

Board Audit Committee 

The Board Audit Committee assists the Board by providing a non-executive review of the effectiveness of Tyro’s 
accounting and financial reporting framework and regulatory compliance. 

As detailed in its charter, key responsibilities include oversight of: the integrity of the financial statements and 
financial reporting systems; reviewing the external auditor’s qualifications, performance, independence and fees; 
reviewing performance of the internal audit function and regulatory compliance. 

Board Risk Committee 

The primary objective of the Board Risk Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in the 
management of risk in Tyro. 

As set out in its charter, the Board Risk Committee provides non-executive oversight of the implementation and on-
going operation of Tyro’s risk management framework. The Board Risk Committee provides recommendations to 
the Board on risk appetite; reviews and approves the frameworks for managing risk; monitors the risk profile, 
exposures against limits and the management and control of our risks. 

Board Remuneration Committee 

The primary objective of the Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in the 
management of pay and reward policies and practices and linking these to the overall risk management practices 
and risk outcomes.

Annual Report 2014

As set out in its charter, the Board Remuneration Committee conducts regular reviews and makes 
recommendations to the Board on the remuneration of the CEO, direct reports of the CEO, and other persons 
whose activities may affect the financial soundness of Tyro and any other person specified by APRA. 

The board currently consists of six directors, with a majority of four 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 range of financial and other skills, experience and knowledge necessary for 
Tyro’s business. 

Our market position 

The main revenue source for credit and debit card payment acceptance is the $2.5 billion merchant service fee 
(MSF) charged to Australian merchants in FY1314. That reflects the MSF charged on Visa, MasterCard and eftpos 
card transactions. American Express and Diners have direct relationships with their merchants. Tyro’s MSF 
income increased during the year to $43.4 million. 

Balancing continued investment with earnings growth 

Since February 2003, Tyro has been working on developing its technology, gaining access to the banking system 
and building its merchant portfolio. Tyro launched its first EFTPOS facility in April 2007. 

In the month of December 2011 and then every month from March 2012 onwards, Tyro delivered a net profit. With 
this year’s result, Tyro has delivered its second profitable fiscal year. The results reflect the balancing of continued 
investment and earnings growth. 

Going forward Tyro will emphasise even higher investments into engineering, operations, sales and other 
professionals so as to broaden the capacity for product development and for continued growth. Towards the end of 
calendar year 2014, Tyro will move into significantly larger office premises taking three floors at 155 Clarence 
Street, Sydney CBD. One floor will be sublet. 

Historical financial year summary 

Over the financial year ended 30 June 2014, the transaction volume grew by 29 per cent for the year and the 
operating income by 36 per cent. Over the year there was further significant investment into the engineering and 
sales marketing capacity. This led to a 40 per cent more than proportional annual increase of the total expenses. 
The earnings before interest and tax increased thus less than proportional with 13 per cent.

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 and started to rollout integrated payment and Medicare Easyclaim solutions with 
further provider of practice automation solutions.  

Also, Tyro has developed a solution that provides allied health practices with a solution for integrated payment as 
well as claiming with Australia’s private health funds and Medicare Australia. The major modalities that will benefit 
from this solution in the future are dentists, optometrist and physiotherapists.   

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. 

Subsequently, the integrated Medicare Easyclaim solution was also launched with Blue Chip, HCN’s equivalent 
PMS for the specialist medical practices space. Then other practice management software providers like Abaki 
Practice 2000, Best Practice, Clinical Computers and Medilink have integrated with Tyro to market and deliver 
integrated EFTPOS and Medicare Easyclaim to their practices franchise. 

Billing and claiming with Tyro’s Integrated Easyclaim eliminates data entry errors and printing of paper vouchers. 
End of day banking is fast and accurate and immediate payments reduce the practice’s outstanding debt. 

Patients enjoy instant Medicare rebates by swiping their card and seeing their rebate in their account 11 seconds 
later. For bulk bill claims, they can assign their right to benefit to the practitioner right on the terminal. 

Medicare statistics show that in June 2014 there were 9,016,986 claims for GP Professional Attendances. During 
the same month, Tyro processed 1,014,891 Easyclaim transactions. Thus at this juncture, Tyro is assumed to 
process in excess of 11.6% of GP professional attendances in Australia.  

Tyro Payments Limited ABN 49 103 575 042 
Annual Report 2014

By end of June 2014, 3,087 General and Specialist practices had signed up to use Tyro’s Integrated Easyclaim 
solution. 

Tyro Retail 

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

As at 30 June 2014, Tyro has 114 certified POS and PMS solutions, 13 POS solutions in certification and 46 at 
some stage of development.  

The Product Management Team has been working closely with POS and PMS 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 EFTPOS terminals process card payment transactions with an average of three seconds with most POS 
software and without performance degradation though busy peak trading times like Christmas. 

Reconciliation has become easy, since the cash register and EFTPOS reports always match. There are no more 
time-consuming manual adjustments and printouts each evening. 

With a Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) feature, customers can pay in more than 135 different currencies 
eliminating surprises when they get back home. For the merchant, DCC provides extra revenue from the 
generated foreign exchange margins. 

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  restaurant’s  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. 

On 1 August 2014, the phase-out of the cardholder’s signature as acceptable authentication method for face-to-
face payment card transactions has commenced. Going foward, the consumer will be required to enter their four-
digit PIN. That impacts particularly the hospitality space, where table service restaurants have to arrange now for 
the terminal to be brought to the table to enable the payment process and the PIN entry. 

Tyro Payments Limited ABN 49 103 575 042 
Annual Report 2014

With Tyro the patron will not be forced to leave their seat and pay at the cashier using the four digit PIN code, or 
the restaurateur will not be forced back into an unintegrated, error prone and inefficient table payment process. 
Tyro provides an integrated PIN ready solution. 

Tyro’s Pay@Table makes payments easy. Customers can use their PIN to securely pay, split and tip without 
leaving the table. Even better, their POS won’t be locked down while bills are being settled, so restaurant operators 
can process payments quickly, turn tables faster, and still provide a great payment service.  

With Tyro’s BarTab function, customers pre-authorise their bar tab limit and hold onto their card. The bar operator 
can finalise the tab without seeing the card again and their customers are only charged for what they use.  

With the automated reconciliation, the cash register and EFTPOS reports always match eliminating time-
consuming manual adjustments or tip entries. Restaurateurs can choose from manual or automatic settlement up 
to 5am. 

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. 

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 a company-wide recycling program and continues to search for new and efficient ways to minimise its 
environmental footprint. 

Employees 

Tyro employed 127 employees as at 30 June 2014 (compared to 93 employees at 30 June 2013). Our people are 
critical to our 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. 

Investments for Future Performance 

Tyro has invested significantly in human capital to bed down the availability and speed of the switching and 
payments system architecture and to increase the capacity to deliver features and functions tailored to specific 
industries’ needs. It has also invested in the purchase of servers and networking to ensure sufficient scalability of 
the production IT infrastructure to meet the continued growth of our acquiring services. 

In parallel, the Company has been building the non-engineering capability of the business to support the sales and 
operational capability necessary to continue to scale up its acquiring services. Tyro is active in the market to hire 
software engineers to increase the development capacity further.

Performance Indicators 

Reviewing and approving all Tyro business strategies and significant policies, the board ensures that all aspects of 
management  and  operations  conform  to  its  strategy,  direction  and  policies.  Additionally,  the  board  monitors 
management  practice  and  ensures  that  senior  management  adhere  to  set  KPI’s  in  all  areas  of  the  business.  It 
practices a rigorous program of  board meetings,  board committee meetings and a  stringent review of a range of 
regular  management  reports  encompassing  all  aspects  of the  business,  including  finance,  operations,  sales  and 
strategy.  

In particular, the board ensures that an effective system of risk management and internal control is established and 
maintained,  and  that  senior  management  proactively  monitors  the  effectiveness  of  the  risk  management 
framework. 

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. 

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 has launched a generation of 
new desktop colour, contactless and 3G enabled EFTPOS terminals. 

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, cheque, 
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 growth 

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

investments, which have been measured at fair value. 

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollars unless otherwise stated. 

Management has reviewed the method of presentation of operating expenses and has determined that classifying items by 
nature, rather than function is appropriate. As a result, prior year comparative information for these amounts, and as necessary, 
has been reclassified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current financial year amounts and other disclosures. 

(b) Compliance with IFRS 

The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board. 

(c) Going concern 

The Company is in its seventh year of operation and has made an operating profit of $3,851,678 (2013: profit $3,292,714. 

 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. 

(d) 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. 

(e) New Accounting standards and interpretations 

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 2014, 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. 

(i) Changes in accounting policies 

The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year and corresponding interim period. 

The Company has adopted the following new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 
Interpretations

Summary 

AASB 2012-3 adds application guidance 
to AASB 132 Financial Instruments: 
Presentation to address inconsistencies 
identified in applying some of the offsetting 
criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying 
the meaning of "currently has a legally 
enforceable right of set-off" and that some 
gross settlement systems may be 
considered equivalent to net settlement. 
This Interpretation confirms that a liability 
to pay a levy is only recognised when the 
activity that triggers the payment occurs.  
Applying the going concern assumption 
does not create a constructive obligation. 

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.

Summary 

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. 
The AASB issued a revised version of 
AASB 9 (AASB 2013-9) during December 
2013.  The revised standard incorporates 
three primary changes: 
1. New hedge accounting requirements 
including changes to hedge effectiveness 
testing, treatment of hedging costs, risk 
components that can be hedged and 
disclosures 
2. Entities may elect to apply only the 
accounting for gains and losses from own 
credit risk without applying the other 
requirements of AASB 9 at the same time  
3. In February 2014, the IASB tentatively 
decided that the mandatory effective date 
for AASB 9 will be 1 January 2018

The revised AASB 1031 is an interim 
standard that cross-references to other 
Standards and the Framework (issued 
December 2013) that contain guidance on 
materiality.  
AASB 1031 will be withdrawn when

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(f) 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. 

Long Service Leave - 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. Long service leave is 
calculated based on assumptions and estimates of when employees will take leave and the prevailing wage rates at the time 
the leave will be taken. Long service leave liability also requires a prediction of the number of employees that will achieve 
entitlement to long service leave. 

(g) 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) 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. Related interchange fee, which is collected from merchants and paid to credit institutions 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 Debit Card Interchange generated from banks 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 Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) transactions generated from merchants is calculated based on the 

individual value of the transactions and is recognised once the transaction has been 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.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(h) 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. 

(i) 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. 

(j) 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. 

(k) 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. 

(l) 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. 

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

(m) Inventories 

(i) Cost and Valuation 

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 net realisable value. 
Impairment is assessed on an annual basis. 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.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(m) Inventories (cont’d) 

(ii) Impairment 

Management make assessments of the net realisable value of Inventory on an annual basis. The cost of inventory may not be 
recoverable where the inventory is damaged, wholly or partially obsolete, or if selling prices have declined. In accordance with 
AASB 102, where the cost of inventory exceeds the net realisable value, Inventory is written down to their net realisable value. 
Net realisable value is an estimate, based on the most reliable evidence at the time, of the amount the Inventories are expected 
to realise. 

(n) 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. 

(o) Deferred tax asset 

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and 
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date (Note 3). 

(p) 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. 

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

(q) 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 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. 

(r) Property, plant and equipment 

(i) Cost and Valuation 

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. 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.

(4) Property, plant and equipment (cont’d) 

(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:

- Furniture and office equipment 

- Computer equipment

5 years 

4 years 

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 

Management has identified cash generating units and applicable impairment indicators in accordance with AASB 136 
Impairment of Assets. The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in 
circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values 
exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of 
plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and it's value in use. 

(iv) De-recognition 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. 

(s) Trade and other payables 

Merchant payables arise when the Company has received monies from the relevant schemes and financial institutions. 

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 the Company. 

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. 

(t) 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(u) 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 credit losses based primarily on 
historical experience and other relevant factors. A provision is recognised 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.  

From the current financial year a specific provision for credit losses is maintained when there is objective evidence that the 
company will not be able to collect the debts. 

(v) General reserve for credit losses 

The Company provides for estimated future credit losses with 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 credit 
losses is then allocated as a separate reserve within equity. 

The methodology and assumptions used for estimating general reserve for credit losses required are reviewed regularly.  

(w) 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. Long service leave is calculated based on 
assumptions and estimates of when employees will take leave and the prevailing wage rates at the time the leave will be taken. 
Long service leave liability also requires a prediction of the number of employees that will achieve entitlement to long service 
leave. 

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.

(x) 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. 

(y) 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. 

(z) 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. 

(aa) De-recognition 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 de-recognition 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. 

All option grants must be held for a minimum period commencing on the date on which the options are granted and continuing 
until the earlier of: 

- 
- 

the date which is 3 years after the date on which options are granted; or 
the date on which the Participant ceases employment with the Company.

9. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (cont'd) 

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 value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model. The table below 
lists the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the options granted during the year ended 30 June 2014:  

Dividend yield (%) 

Expected volatility (%) 

Risk-free interest rate (%) 

Share price ($) 

2014 

0% 

74% 

3.39% 

$0.25 

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 10,194,219 options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2014 (2013: 130,707). 

The weighted average remaining contractual life for share options outstanding as at 30 June 2014 was 4 years (2013: 5 years). 

The following table summarises further details of the share options outstanding at 30 June 2014:

13. CONTRIBUTED EQUITY AND RESERVES (cont’d) 

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.

In 2012 consideration of $313,600 was received by the Company to extend the life of some options. In 2011, the option 
premium reserve revaluation corresponds to the fair value of the equity instruments issued in consideration for the $2.5 million 
loan taken out by Tyro. The fair value of these options has been determined using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model.

14. 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 risk framework and all risk 
management policies. The Board has installed a Board Risk Committee to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in the 
management of risk. The Board Risk Management Committee provides non-executive oversight of the implementation and on-
going operation of Tyro’s risk management framework. The Board Risk Committee provides recommendations to the Board on 
risk appetite; reviews and approves the frameworks for managing risk; monitors the risk profile, exposures against limits and the 
management and control of our risks.  

(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 Board Risk Committee and Board.

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

(iii) Internal audit 

Tyro has an independent and adequately resourced internal audit function. The internal audit function 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. 

The internal auditor has unfettered access to Tyro’s business lines and support functions. 

(iv) Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading 
to a financial loss. Tyro is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing 
activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and held to maturity 
investments. 

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amounts of the financial assets at reporting date. Tyro'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 Tyro to identify changes in credit quality at client and portfolio levels and to take corrective actions in a timely 
manner. 

In addition, Tyro is subject to the risk of credit card chargebacks (credit losses). The maximum period Tyro is potentially liable 
for such chargebacks is 120 days after the date of the transaction. Tyro 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 Tyro'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 expected future credit losses as described in Note 1(v). 
Tyro does not hold any credit derivatives or collateral to offset its credit exposure. Tyro 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 Tyro's exposure to bad debts is not significant at reporting date.

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

(v) Operational risk 

Operational risk is the risk that arises from inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, human error or misconduct, or 
from external events. It also includes, among other things, technology risk, model risk and outsourcing risk. 

The Board Risk Committee is responsible for monitoring the operational risk profile, the performance of operational risk 
management and controls, and the development and ongoing review of operational risk policies. 

(vi) Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market 
prices. Market prices comprise four types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, commodity price risk and other price risk, such 
as equity price risk. Tyro 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: 

1) Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in 
market interest rates. The Company has exposure to interest rate risk on its variable interest-bearing cash and cash equivalent 
balances. Other interest bearing assets are held to maturity and carried at amortised cost. 

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest. With all other variables held 
constant, Tyro’s profit before tax is affected as follows:

An increase of 100 basis points in the general cash rate (assuming every other factors being constant) will increase the 
Company's profit after tax and increase equity by $90,106 (2013:$229,450). A decrease of 100 basis points in the general cash 
rate will have an equal and opposite effect. 

2) Foreign Currency risk 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of 
changes in foreign exchange rates. 

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 at the exchange rate prevailing the balance sheet date. At reporting date the Company has 
some US Dollar and Euro exposure.

(vi) Market risk (cont’d) 

FX Sensitivity analysis: 

An appreciation of 15% of the US Dollar and EUR compared to the Australian Dollar (assuming every other factors being 
constant) will increase the Company's profit after tax and increase equity by $186,134 (2013: $240,256). A depreciation of 15% 
of the US Dollar and EUR compared to the Australian Dollar will reduce the company's profit after tax and reduce equity by 
$137,578 (2013:$177,581).

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.  

(vii) Capital Management 

Tyro Payments Limited capital management objectives are to: 

-  Maintain a sufficient level of capital above the regulatory minimum to provide a buffer against loss arising from 

unanticipated events, and allow Tyro to continue as a going concern; and 
Ensure that capital management is closely aligned with Tyro’s business and strategic objectives. 

- 

Tyro manages capital adequacy according to the framework set out by APRA Prudential Standards. 

APRA determines minimum prudential capital ratios (eligible capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets) that must be 
held by all authorised deposit-taking institutions. Accordingly, Tyro is required to maintain a minimum prudential capital ratio 
(eligible capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets) on a Level 1 basis as determined by APRA. 

The board considers Tyro’s strategy, financial performance objectives, and other factors relating to the efficient management of 
capital in setting target ratios of capital above the regulatory required levels. These processes are formalised within Tyro’s 
internal capital adequacy assessment process (or ICAAP). 

Tyro operates under the specific capital requirements set by APRA. Tyro has satisfied its minimum capital requirements 
throughout the 2013/14 financial year in the form of Tier 1 capital which is the highest quality components of capital.

Tyro's liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will have insufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due. This could 
potentially arise as a result of mismatched cash flows.  

Tyro manages this risk by the Board Risk Committee approved liquidity framework. Responsibility for liquidity management is 
delegated to the Financial Controller and CEO. The Financial Controller manages liquidity on a daily basis and submits monthly 
reports to the CEO and to CRO, and bi-monthly reports to the Board Risk Committee. The Financial Controller is also 
responsible for monitoring and managing capital planning. The capital plan outlines triggers for additional funding should 
liquidity be required. 

Liquidity risk management framework models the ability to fund under both normal conditions and periods of stress. The capital 
plan and liquidity management is reviewed at least annually.  

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

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.

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

(ix) Fair values (cont’d) 

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 current year.  

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Commitments relating to BECS  

Tyro pays merchants through the BECS system (Bulk Electronic Clearing System).  As a result of BECS Intra-day settlements 
which went live in November 2013 all merchant settlements committed are processed on the same 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 
(I) Irrecoverable standby letters of credit in favour of: 
 - MasterCard International 
 - Visa International 
 (ii) Bank Guarantee in favour of: 
 - Dukeville Pty Ltd, the lessor of 125 York Street, Sydney

The Company has provided an irrevocable standby letter of credit of $2,920,042 (in 2013: 2,941,617) 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 month’s rent and is refundable on expiry of the lease agreement, subject to satisfactory vacation of 
the leased premises.

16. 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Tyro Payments
Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Tyro Payments Limited, which comprises the
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the statement of comprehensive income,
statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes
comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the
directors' declaration.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act
2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the
preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101
Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply
with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant
to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made
by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001.  We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence
Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.
