Chief Executive Officer’s Year in Review 
Tyro Payments Limited 
ABN 49 103 575 042 

Dear Shareholders,  

In the previous financial year, Tyro raised $100m in core Tier 1 equity and was granted an unrestricted Authorised Deposit-
taking Institution (ADI) licence, setting itself up for its next phase of growth. The results of 2017 reflect this stage of growth as 
Tyro continues to build upon its in-house, cloud-based mobile core banking platform. The EFTPOS merchant base grew from 
15,565 to 18,329 over the past year, and the unsecured lending product launched during the year originating greater than $11m 
in loans. Tyro carried $4.5m in loans and $4.0m in deposits on the Balance sheet at 30 June 2017. 

During the year, Tyro obtained from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) the right to use the word “Bank” in its 
name and in describing its activities, and has been added to the list of “Australian-owned Banks” on APRA’s website.  

Delivering banking to Australia’s SMEs 

Tyro has continued to invest heavily in its banking platform, launching a fee-free and interest paying Tyro Smart Account on    
19 January 2016 and its unsecured lending product on 1 July 2016. Both of these are in a nascent stage at the date of 
reporting, however, enhanced with new features and capabilities during the year we saw a number of key milestones: 

• 
• 
• 

Tyro processed greater than $1b in payments transaction volume in any single month (December 2016) 
This was the first financial year that Tyro processed greater than $10b in payments transaction volume for the full year 
Tyro originated greater than $10m in lending within its pilot year.  

The Tyro vision is to remove the frictions in today’s banking and cash flow management, so that Australian SMEs can focus on 
growing their business. 

Deposits 

In its quest to deliver efficient EFTPOS banking to its merchants, Tyro’s Smart Account is an interest bearing and fee-free 
business account integrated with Xero cloud accounting. 

This one bank account removes the frictions from today’s term deposit management and batch bill, payroll and BPAY 
payments. The inconvenience of ABA file handling and sharing credentials of online banking are a thing of the past. Payments 
are approved in the Tyro App on the smartphone anytime. Deposits are at call, earn a daily interest with rates that increase for 
every dollar held for longer than 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, and are government guaranteed up to $250,000. 

Tyro’s Smart Account is also the first transaction account in Australia which allows payments to be made using Apple’s 
smartphone assistant, Siri. 

Lending 

The pilot for unsecured lending started on 1 July 2016. This is a cash-flow based lending solution offered to eligible Tyro 
merchants. Loan offer and acceptance is via the Tyro App on a smartphone. Tyro merchants borrow based upon their future 
EFTPOS sales and repay out of their daily settlements. No security is required, and loans come with a fixed fee locked in 
upfront, thereby leaving no surprises for the merchant. The funds are made available in the interest-bearing Tyro Smart 
Account within minutes. 

Performance highlights  

As at 30 June 2017, Tyro was serving 18,329 SMEs, with a credit, debit and charge card transaction volume growth rate of     
23 percent to $10.6 billion. Revenue in 2017 grew 26 percent to $120.6 million. Being in business for over ten years, Tyro has 
maintained a high-growth rate in revenue. Over the past five years, the Compound Annual Growth Rate has been 34 percent. 

Total operating income grew 21 percent to $56.1 million, while operating expenses grew 43 percent to $70.8 million. Significant 
drivers  for  the  cost  increase  was  an  investment  of  approximately  $16.3  million  in  2017  ($12.5  million  in  2016)  into  product 
development and delivery, primarily for the mobile core banking platform including the first deposit and lending features. The year 
finished with a loss before tax result of $15 million reflecting this significant accelerated reinvestment. Tyro has an accounting 
policy of not capitalising investments in product development.

Tyro Payments Limited

Employees 

Tyro had 371 employees as at 30 June 2017 (compared to 297 at 30 June 2016 and 221 at 30 June 2015). Among these, 228 
staff worked in end-to-end product and software development, an increase of 23 percent over the previous year.  

Tyro’s success reflects the strengths of its exceptional team and during the period we saw some renewal of leadership to 
continue our success over the coming years: 

• 

Jost Stollmann, who was appointed CEO on 5 April 2005, and was instrumental in obtaining the full ADI licence and 
the $100m equity-raising, stepped down and continues as a director. Gerd Schenkel joined as CEO in October 2016 
until his resignation in June 2017. Rob Ferguson, Director, has taken on the Acting CEO role.  

•  Peter Haig, Co-Founder and then Head of Product, announced his retirement effective 31 December 2016. Peter is 

the architect and innovator behind Tyro’s banking model. 

•  Andrew Rothwell, Co-Founder and then Head of Sales, resigned in May 2017 to focus more on his passion for smaller 

start-ups. 

A number of significant appointments were made over the year: 

•  Kareem Al-Bassam joined Tyro on 16 January 2017 as Director of Product. Kareem has more than 15 years of 

experience in a range of Product, Innovation and leadership roles for financial technology companies in Australia, 
America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. 

•  Natalie Dinsdale joined Tyro on 23 January 2017 as Director of Marketing. Natalie has more than 17 years of 

experience as an entrepreneur and marketer across a range of Australian and UK financial services challenger 
organisations. 

• 

Joshua Walther joined Tyro on 25 May 2017 as Director of Sales. Joshua has more than 18 years of experience in 
financial services and management consulting. 

•  Dave Coombes joined Tyro on 3 July 2017 as Director of Engineering. Dave has nearly twenty years of experience 

building and leading teams that develop and operate large-scale mission-critical systems for high profile organisations 
across a range of industries including financial services, wagering, retail and telecommunications. 

Investments for future performance 

Tyro has maintained 99.98 percent uptime of its core acquiring platform with its live-live infrastructure. Tyro will continue to 
invest significantly to expand its EFTPOS banking platform and to deliver features and functions tailored to the specific needs of 
Australia’s diverse SME community. In parallel, Tyro has been building the non-engineering capability of the business to 
support the sales and operational capability necessary to continue to scale up its product offerings. 

Delivering simplicity  

Hype around new mobile payment technologies, mainly capitalising on the propagation of smartphones, is invigorating 
innovation and investment. With NFC, Apple Pay, Android Pay, Square, PayPal and others, consumers and merchants are fed 
daily with news on new developments in mobile payments and mobile-pass technology.  

As these new innovations get adopted, SMEs will struggle to offer their consumers these payment choices while maintaining 
the required reliability, efficiency and security of their payment and reconciliation processes. Tyro will use its platform, 
partnerships and integration architecture to offer SMEs simplicity: ONE account, ONE settlement, ONE point of contact. 

Tyros and the Tyro world 

Tyro stands for challenger. Against the backdrop of all the opportunities arising from new technologies, rapid growth in itself has 
challenges, but Tyro is a very special and attractive place for people that want to challenge the status quo. 

The Tyro team, the Tyros, embrace agile and lean methods. They marry deep banking knowledge, strong risk management and 
regulatory compliance with creative and innovative solutions. Tyros live in all these different worlds and most importantly have 
an opportunity to make a major difference for the Australian SME community.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

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 23 August 2017. 

The Company is an unlisted public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The nature of the operations and principal 
activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ report. 

(a) Basis of preparation 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale 
investments, which have been measured at fair value. 

Similar categories of income and expenses have been grouped together. Prior year comparative information for these amounts, 
and where necessary, has been reclassified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current financial year amounts and other 
disclosures. 

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, under the 
option available to the Company under ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191, unless otherwise stated. 

(b) 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 and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board. 

(c) Going concern 

The Company had net current assets of $77.2m as at 30 June 2017 (2016: $107.6m). 

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) New accounting standards and interpretations 

(i) Changes in accounting policies 

The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year and corresponding interim period, apart 
from the treatment of the new Tyro Smart Account deposits and the Tyro Smart Growth Funding loans which previously did not 
exist. The treatment for these items is covered within this report. 

(ii) Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective 

The following 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 2017: 

•  AASB 9 Financial Instruments – simplifies the classifications of financial assets into those to be carried at amortised 

cost and those to be carried at fair value. The new standard also: 

- 
- 
- 

- 
- 

simplifies requirements for embedded derivatives.  
removes the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets. 
provides an opportunity to fair value investments in equity instruments to other comprehensive income, with 
no separate impairment test, whilst taking dividends to income. 
requires entities to reclassify their financial assets when there is a change in the entity's business model. 
simplifies hedge accounting requirements, including hedge effectiveness testing.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

For financial liabilities, where the fair value option is used, changes in fair value attributable to the issuer’s own credit 
risk are presented in other comprehensive income, removing the volatility in profit or loss. A new impairment model is 
also included which requires more timely recognition of expected credit losses from when financial instruments are first 
recognised, and recognition of full lifetime expected losses on a more timely basis. AASB 9 applies to annual reporting 
periods on or after 1 January 2018. AASB 9 is not mandatory until 1 July 2018 for the Company.  

•  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of 
financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an 
entity’s contracts with customers. The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the 
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity 
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with the 
core principles explained in a step by step approach in the standard. AASB 15 applies to annual reporting periods on 
or after 1 January 2018. AASB 15 is not mandatory until 1 July 2018 for the Company. 

•  AASB 16 Leases – introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and 

liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. For lessors, 
enhanced disclosures are required to improve information about the lessor’s risk exposure, particularly to low value 
risk. AASB 16 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. AASB 16 is not mandatory 
until 1 July 2019 for the Company. 

The potential financial impacts of the above to the Company have not yet been determined. The Company does not intend to 
early adopt AASB 9 and AASB 15, but may early adopt AASB 16 to align with the adoption of AASB 9 and AASB 15.  

Other amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective are not expected to result in significant changes to the 
Company’s accounting policies.  

(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 11. 

Classification of and valuation of investments - The Company classifies its investments in listed securities and floating rate 
notes 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. Where no active market exists for a 
particular asset, the Company uses a valuation technique to arrive at the fair value. The fair value of floating rate notes has 
been estimated using pricing data inputs provided by an independent third party pricing service which factors in recent arm’s 
length transactions into their valuation methods. This makes maximum use of observable market inputs and places minimal 
reliance on entity specific inputs.   

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 10. An 
impairment assessment is conducted and reviewed by Management at least annually as to whether indicators of impairment 
such as technical obsolescence exist. 

Long service leave - Entitlements that arise in respect of non-current long service leave 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

Taxation – Provisions for taxation require significant judgement with respect to outcomes that are uncertain. The Company has 
estimated its tax provisions based on expected outcomes. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary 
differences as Management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary 
differences. In forming their view, Management considers the probability of forecast future taxable income and performs stress 
testing on expecting budgets to assess the likelihood of deferred tax assets being utilised. Management does not recognise 
deferred tax assets where utilisation is not considered probable. An assessment of research and development (R&D) activities 
and associated expenditure that is considered claimable, is conducted and reviewed by Management at least annually as part 
of the annual R&D tax incentive application. 

Software capitalisation – The Company does not capitalise any investments on in-house product development, with such costs 
being expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income based on Management’s assessment of the recognition criteria in 
AASB 138.  

Loan impairment – Individually assessed provisions are made against loans that have been individually assessed as impaired. 
The Company raises specific provisions for impairment of these loans when there is objective evidence of impairment (i.e. when 
an event of default is triggered). The specific provision raised is based on the exposure amount at the date of default. 

Loans that do not have an individually assessed provision are assessed collectively for impairment. A collective provision is 
raised based on a risk rating system that considers the probability of default (based on an externally rated business score), loss 
given default rates (using an internally derived probability factor that takes into consideration the loans being unsecured), and 
the exposure at default. 

(f) Revenue recognition 

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

(i) Fee income  

The Company derives fee income from the following sources: 

•  Merchant service fee income is generated from merchant customers for credit, debit and charge 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 using a method that approximates the effective 
interest method. The effective interest 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) 

(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 does not retain 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 rent expense. 

(h) Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and term deposits with an original maturity of three months or 
less from the date of acquisition.  

(i) Due from other financial institutions 

Includes term deposits with maturities greater than three months from the date of acquisition, and term deposits pledged to 
counterparties as collateral. These are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using a 
method that approximates the effective interest method. 

(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.  

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) 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.  

(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.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

Net realisable value is an estimate, based on the most reliable evidence at the time, of the amount the inventories are expected 
to realise. 

(m) Loans 

(i) Recognition and measurement 

Loans to merchants are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are measured at 
amortised cost, less any provisions for impairments. As the merchant receives daily settlements, a percentage is taken towards 
loan repayments. The loan repayment includes a portion which recycles the upfront unearned fee charged to the merchant into 
the Statement of Comprehensive Income as interest income. This method of recognition approximates the effective interest 
method. 

(ii) Provisions for loan impairments 

Individually assessed provisions are made against loans that have been individually assessed as impaired. The Company 
raises specific provisions for impairment of these loans when there is objective evidence of impairment (i.e. when an event of 
default is triggered). The specific provision raised is based on the exposure amount at the date of default. 

Loans that do not have an individually assessed provision are assessed collectively for impairment. A collective provision is 
raised based on a risk rating system that considers the probability of default (based on an externally rated business score), loss 
given default rates (using an internally derived probability factor that takes into consideration the loans being unsecured), and 
the exposure at default. 

When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related provision for impairment. Such loans are written off after all the 
necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. Subsequent recoveries of 
amounts previously written off go to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

(n) 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. 

(o) 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. 

(p) 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). 

(q) 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. 

(r) Acquisition of non-financial 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. 

(s) 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. 

(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: 

2017 

2016 

Plant and equipment: 

EFTPOS terminals 

Furniture and office equipment 

Computer equipment 

Leasehold improvements 

3 years 

5 years 

4 years 

3 years 

5 years 

4 years 

Remaining term 
of lease 

Remaining term 
of lease 

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 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 its 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.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

(t) Deposits from customers 

Deposits from customers are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at 
amortised cost. Interest expense on deposits is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using a method that 
approximates the effective interest method. 

(u) Trade and other payables 

Merchant payables arise when the Company has received monies from the relevant schemes and financial institutions that 
have not yet been settled with the 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 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. 

(v) Interest-bearing loans 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.  

(w) 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 may 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.  

(x) General reserve for credit losses 

The Company provides for estimated future credit losses primarily from chargebacks, with a general reserve for credit losses. 
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

The Company also provides for estimated future credit losses from loans to ensure the Company has sufficient capital to cover 
credit losses estimated to arise over the full life of the loans as required by APRA Prudential Standard APS 220. 

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

(y) 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 leave and other employee benefits that are expected to be settled 
within one year have been measured at their nominal amounts. Employees are entitled to 20 days annual leave each year. The 
company classes as a current liability the portion that is expected will be taken by the employees in the next 12 months.  

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. 

(z) 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 11. 

(aa) 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. 

(ab) 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

3. INCOME TAX (cont’d) 

1. The Company had $6.0m of benefits relating to tax losses in the year ending 30 June 2017. $4.6m of these tax losses ($1.4m 

DTA) was not recognised resulting in a net DTA of $10.3m.   

2. During the prior year ended 30 June 2016, the Company submitted requests for amended assessments to the Commissioner 
of Taxation in respect to the 30 June 2013 and 2014 income years. The effect of these amendments was to deduct prior year 
carried forward tax losses, and to carry forward Research and Development tax credits. There was no net change to the tax 
payable of the Company as a consequence of these amendments.

In July 2016, the Company launched in pilot the Smart Growth Funding product, which was offered to existing Tyro EFTPOS 
merchants. The loans are unsecured, with an upfront (“unearned”) fee charged to the merchant. As the merchant receives daily 
settlements, a percentage is taken towards loan repayments. The loan repayment includes a portion which recycles the 
unearned fee into the Statement of Comprehensive Income as interest income. This method of recognition approximates the 
effective interest method. 

During the year, six loans were assessed as impaired due to reasonable doubt over collectability, out of which two loans were 
written off.

11. 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 (ESOP) 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 ESOP 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 that 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.

11. 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 under the ESOP 

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 2017:  

Dividend yield (%) 

Expected volatility (%) 

Risk-free interest rate (%)

$1.08 

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 
options 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 37,612,657 options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2017 (2016: 3,840,607). 

The weighted average remaining contractual life for share options outstanding as at 30 June 2017 was 4 years (2016: 3 years).

16. CONTRIBUTED EQUITY AND RESERVES (cont’d) 

The general reserve for credit losses has been created to satisfy APRA’s prudential standards for ADIs as described in Note 
1(x). The Company applies an internal methodology to estimate the credit risk of its merchant customers and the maximum 
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 2017 

17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCESSES 

The Company's principal financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, deposits due from other financial institutions, 
trade and other receivables, loans, available-for-sale investments, deposits and trade and other payables. 

(i) Risk management  

The Board is responsible for approving and reviewing the risk management strategy, including determining the Company’s 
appetite for risk. The CEO and Management team are responsible for implementing the risk management strategy and 
framework, and for developing policies, controls, processes and procedures for identifying and managing risk.  

Various Management committees, including the Management Risk Committee (MRC) and the Asset and Liability Management 
Committee (ALCO), ensure appropriate execution of the risk management strategy and framework is applied in the day-to-day 
operations and regularly report to the Board Risk Committee. 

(ii) Risk controls 

Risks are controlled through a system that identifies key risks, establishes controls to manage those risks (with an emphasis on 
preventative control), and maintains a regular review process to monitor the effectiveness of controls. Business risks are 
controlled within tolerance levels approved by the MRC, ALCO and the Board. 

(iii) Internal Audit 

The Company 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.  

(iv) Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading 
to a financial loss. The Company 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 available-for-sale 
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. 

Credit losses from chargebacks 

In addition, the Company is subject to the risk of credit card losses via 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 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 estimated future credit losses as described in Note 1(x). 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.

17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCESSES (cont’d) 

Credit losses from loans 

The Company is also subject to the risk of credit losses from its unsecured loan product which commenced on 1 July 2016. The 
Company manages this risk in accordance with the Board approved Lending Credit Risk policy. Responsibility for monitoring 
and management of this risk is delegated to the CRO. The CRO is also responsible for ensuring the Lending Credit Risk policy 
is reviewed regularly and submitted to the Board Risk Committee for approval.  

To manage the risk of credit losses, various underwriting criteria is in place before a loan can be offered, which includes 
assessment of credit bureau scores, age of credit files and no adverse records, time in business, and an internal credit risk 
grading. A merchant must also have an acquiring transaction history to be eligible for a loan offer. A personal guarantee is 
required.  

The Company provides for credit losses from these loans to ensure the Company has sufficient provisions and capital to cover 
credit losses estimated to arise over the full life of the loans as described in Note 1(x).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCESSES (cont’d) 

(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, foreign currency risk, commodity price risk and other price 
risk, such as equity 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: 

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 primarily on its variable interest-bearing cash and cash 
equivalent balances, floating rate notes, term deposits and variable Smart Account deposits. 

Interest rate sensitivity analysis 

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

An increase of 50 basis points for 12 months in the general cash rate (assuming other factors remain constant) will increase the 
Company's profit after tax and increase equity by $486,949 (2016: $549,796). A decrease of 50 basis points in the general cash 
rate will have an equal and opposite effect.

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. 

The Company 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 at the transaction date. At reporting date 
the Company has some US Dollar and Euro exposure.

17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCESSES (cont’d) 

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis 

The following demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the US dollar and Euro exchange rates, with all 
other variables held constant. 

An appreciation of 15% of the US Dollar and Euro compared to the Australian Dollar (assuming other factors remain constant), 
will increase the Company's profit after tax and increase equity by $396,464 (2016: $362,192). A depreciation of 15% of the US 
Dollar and Euro compared to the Australian Dollar will reduce the Company's profit after tax and reduce equity by $293,038 
(2016: $267,707). 

The following table shows the financial assets and liabilities on which the foreign currency sensitivity analysis has been 
performed.

The Company's investment in available-for-sale financial investments (Visa shares) is valued by way of reference to an 
underlying listed equity on the New York Stock Exchange and as such its fair value will fluctuate in direct proportion with the 
quoted market price indicated.  

(vii) Capital Management 

The Company’s 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 the Company to continue as a going concern; and 

•  Ensure that capital management is closely aligned with the Company’s business and strategic objectives. 

The Company 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 ADIs. Accordingly, the Company 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 the Company’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 the Company’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). The Company operates under the specific 
capital requirements set by APRA. The Company has satisfied its minimum capital requirements throughout the 2017 financial 
year in the form of Tier 1 capital which is the highest quality components of capital.

1. Standardised approach (to a maximum of 1.25% of total credit risk weighted assets) 

(viii) Liquidity risk 

The Company’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.  

The Company manages this risk by the ALCO approved liquidity framework. Responsibility for liquidity management is 
delegated to the CFO and CEO. The CFO manages liquidity on a daily basis and submits weekly reports to the Management 
team, and bi-monthly reports to ALCO. The CFO 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 reporting 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. 

The table below shows the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value. Management has assessed that for 
other financial assets and liabilities not disclosed in the table below, that due to their short term maturity profile, the carrying 
amount is an approximation of fair value.

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

In the year ended 30 June 2017, the Company invested in floating rate notes which have a short-term repricing profile and are 
of high credit quality. The fair value of floating rate notes has been estimated using pricing data inputs provided by an 
independent third party pricing service, which factors in recent arm’s length transactions into their valuation methods. 

Transfer between categories 

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the current year.  

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Commitments relating to BECS  

The Company 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.   

Contingent liabilities arising from commitments are secured by way of standby letters of credit or bank guarantees as follows:

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (cont’d) 

The Company has provided an irrevocable standby letter of credit of $3.2m (in 2016: $3.3m) secured through fixed charges 
over term deposits with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac Banking Corporation, to MasterCard International, 
Visa International and Union Pay International. These are one-year arrangements that are subject to automatic renewal on an 
annual 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, includes all annual increases of 4% until lease maturity and is refundable on expiry of 
the lease agreement, subject to satisfactory vacation of the leased premises. 

19. LEASES 

(a) Operating lease commitments - Company as lessor 

Prior to April 2010, the Company 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, the Company carried 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. 

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 the Company. There is no minimum rental 
period for merchants and they are able to terminate with the Company at any time with no penalty or buy out fees.

NSW. It is a non-cancellable lease with a term of up to 7 years ending 22 January 2022. The lease agreement provides the 
Company with the option to extend the lease for another 3 years. Lease payments are subject to annual increases of 4%. 

20. SEGMENT REPORTING 

The Company operates in one geographical segment being Australia. Currently the acquiring business segment which provides 
EFTPOS solutions to merchants (transaction processing, clearing and settlement activities within the Australian Payments 
System) comprises the only material contributor to the Company’s Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm 
on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 
2001. 

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 21 do not compromise the external auditor’s 
independence for the following reasons: 

-  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the 

auditor, and 

-  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 

110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, 
including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the 
Company, acting as advocate for the Company jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

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

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Tyro Payments Limited (the Company), which comprises the 
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the statement of comprehensive income, 
statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the 
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ 
declaration. 
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, including: 

a) 

giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b) 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the 
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also 
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s 
report thereon. The other information comprises the Chief Executive Officer’s Year in Review and 
Directors’ Report accompanying the financial report. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors 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 control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to 
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_files/ar3.pdf. 
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
