Chairman’s Letter 

Dear Shareholders 

It has been an exciting 12 months here at Tyro, one in which many new milestones were met, considerable investment was made 
and new initiatives were put in motion. All of which positions us well for success and we are in great shape, with a team that is 
truly engaged and totally focused on the year ahead. 

On behalf of ‘Team Tyro’, I thank you all for your support throughout the 2018 financial year and for your continuing support.  

The Year in a Snapshot – One of Outstanding Growth 

In the Financial Statements and in the CEO’s Review that follow, you will see we had a successful year growing our payments 
business whilst building out Tyro’s suite of banking products. The financial highlights in FY18 included: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

23% increase in total revenues to $148.3 million (FY17: $120.6 million); 
26% increase in the value of payments transacted reaching $13.4 billion (FY17: $10.6 billion); 
127% increase in loan originations in the year reaching $25.2 million (FY17: $11.1 million); 
197% increase in deposit balances ending the year at $11.6 million (FY17: $3.9 million). 

In keeping with our approach in prior years, our investment in technology and product development in FY18 has again been fully 
expensed, so that no internal development spend is carried on the Balance Sheet. This approach, coupled with our continuing 
investment in developing our products and capabilities, saw Tyro report a net loss after tax of $16.4 million (FY17: $12.8 million). 

Operating Environment 

It is perhaps an understatement to say the financial services sector in Australia is in the press for all the wrong reasons. The 
Financial Services Royal Commission has headlined numerous examples of poor sector behaviours and bad practice. 

Tyro’s  mission  since  establishing  its  operation  some  15  years  ago  is  to  concentrate  on  providing  a  long-neglected  segment, 
‘Australia’s small and medium businesses’ with alternative banking services that put the customer first. 

Our customer centric approach continues today where the culture at Tyro is to ‘do the right thing’. This simple message, is our 
recipe for success. 

Exceptional Team 

I am pleased to say Tyro has an exceptionally talented, creative and driven team.  They have a passion for making payments 
and banking for Australia’s small and medium businesses a seamless and integrated experience. Our FY18 achievements were 
made  possible  by  ‘Team  Tyro’s’  commitment  to  service  and  innovation.  I  acknowledge  and  express  my  appreciation  of  their 
commitment to pursuing our vision and thank them one and all for their efforts over this financial year. 

Management + Board Changes 

In January this year, we announced the appointment of Robbie Cooke as our new CEO and he got his ‘feet under the desk’ on 
23  March.  Your  Board  considered  Robbie  the  ideal  person  to  lead  the  Company  through  its  next  phase  of  growth  with  his 
background  and  experience  in  Australia  customer-centric,  digitally-oriented  and  technology-driven  businesses  (as  the  former 
Managing Director / CEO of both ASX-listed Tatts Group and Wotif.com). Robbie took the reins from Rob Ferguson who, since 
June 2017, led the Tyro executive team as acting Managing Director and CEO. I am happy to report that the leadership transition 
to Robbie was trouble free. 

In July 2018 Rob Ferguson announced that he had decided after 12 years it was the right time for him to step down from his 
Board role at Tyro. Rob remains a shareholder and continues to be a passionate advocate of the Company. The entire team at 
Tyro has huge respect for Rob. On behalf of us all, I thank Rob for his significant commitment to the Company. Especially for his 
taking on the role as Acting CEO for a period of 9 months at the start of this financial year. We all owe Rob a significant debt of 
gratitude – thanks Rob!

Chairman’s Letter 
Tyro Payments Limited 
ABN 49 103 575 042 

With Rob’s departure, we welcomed David Fite to our Board. David brings a wealth of banking acumen and expertise by reason 
of his time as a senior banking executive (previously holding roles of Treasurer, Assistant CFO and a Group Executive at Westpac, 
and CFO and Senior Corporate Executive Officer at Japan’s Shinsei Bank). David is also an active investor in fintech companies 
(including Tyro since 2008). 

Finally, at our Annual General Meeting last October after his serving as Tyro’s CEO and a Director for 12 years, Jost Stollmann 
did not stand for re-election. For more than a decade, Jost played a pivotal role at Tyro and it’s fair to say we would not be where 
we are today without him. I take this opportunity to say Jost, thanks from us all for your outstanding leadership and service at 
Tyro.  

Towards a Successful FY19 

With a talented and committed leadership team in place, a well-defined project pipeline locked in, clear goals and targets set and 
our  passionate,  dedicated  and  innovative Tyro  team,  I  am  excited  to  say  that  we  are  heading  into FY19  in  the  best possible 
position.  I  express  my  gratitude  to  the  Tyro  team  and  to  my  fellow  Tyro  Board  Members  both  past  and  present,  for  their 
commitment to the Company and for their contributions in the financial year, just past.  

In closing, also at our Annual General Meeting last October I said that “I believe that now is the right time for another person to 
chart Tyroʼs course”. Whilst my replacement as Chair of the Board has not been announced, our search is well progressed and I 
confirm my intention to leave the Board following the appointment of my successor.  

On behalf of all your Tyro Directors, I look forward to joining you at our 2018 Annual General Meeting when we will have the 
opportunity  to  present  our  FY18  results  to  you  in  detail.  If  you  are  unable  to  attend  our  AGM  in  person  we  will  provide  an 
opportunity to ‘dial-in’ to ensure you are able to benefit from that update. 

Again, thank you for your support. 

Sincerely 

Kerry Roxburgh

Chief Executive Officer’s Operating + Financial Review 

Tyro is a truly unique business and in writing my first report to you as Tyro’s CEO I wanted to take a few moments to reflect on 
what sets Tyro apart, as we are proudly different. 

Tyro’s DNA 

Unlike most of today’s ‘fintechs’ we have a long and successful history, having established our operation some 15 years ago in 
the EFTPOS / payments space. This was at a time when the ‘glamour’ and attention many of today’s fintechs receive was virtually 
non-existent and the prospect of succeeding in what was a closed market was seen by many as remote at best. 

In a similarly contrarian way, three years ago as a fintech we applied for and were granted an unrestricted Australian Banking 
Licence – the first new local entrant to the banking sector in a decade. We took this step with a plan and determination to establish 
a banking and payments business purpose built for Australia’s small and medium enterprises – the backbone of our economy – 
who had been neglected by this country’s banks for years. 

Today we have a full, unrestricted, banking licence but unlike others we intend to stay niche, nimble and focused on designing 
products specific to our SME customers’ wants, and to deliver these services in the right way. We remain a challenger at heart 
with an absolute focus on: 

• 
• 
• 

disrupting the status quo for the benefit of our customers; 
re-engineering banking and payments to remove friction; and 
putting our customers at the centre of all that we do. 

We work with some amazing businesses and are genuinely inspired by their success. This is the essence of Tyro and what drives 
us as a team. 

The Year in Review 

The 2018 financial year proved to be a very successful year for Tyro, with our three key business streams (payments, loans and 
deposits) showing strong growth. We continued to invest in building our segment position in the year and this strategy saw us: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

continue to expand our team; 
build on our product suite and functionality; 
become more focused on customer acquisition and retention; and 
invest in our systems and transactional scalability. 

In our payments business we processed $13.4 billion in transactions on behalf of our merchants, a lift of 26% on the prior year 
(FY17: $10.6 billion) accelerating growth beyond the 23% year-on-year performance in the prior year. We added close to 5,0001 
new  merchants  to  our payments  business  taking  the  total number  of  merchants  trusting  Tyro  with  their  EFTPOS  /  payments 
requirements to more than 23,000 – a 27% increase on FY17 (and up on the 18% growth achieved in FY17). 

In our banking business, our merchant cash advance loan product, which has to date only been offered to circa 4,000 of our 
23,000  merchants,  is  showing  a  very  promising  growth  profile  and  strong  repeat  usage.  Since  product  inception  we  have 
originated more than $35 million in loans of which $25.2 million were originations made in FY18, a 127% lift (FY17: $11.1 million 
in originations).  

Similarly, strong growth, albeit from a low base has been achieved by our Tyro Bank Account. This fee-free and interest paying 
business transaction deposit account achieved strong momentum with 1,285 active accounts in existence at year’s end, a 262% 
increase on prior year (FY17: 355 active accounts). 

In combination the strong performance from these three product streams saw our revenue in FY18 increase by 23% reaching a 
record $148.3 million (FY17: $120.6 million).

CEO’s Operating + Financial Review 
Tyro Payments Limited 
ABN 49 103 575 042 

As we continued to invest in our technology platform; our team; and customer acquisition, our expenses (including impairment 
expenses) increased 22% to $86.6 million (FY17: $71.1 million). Consistent with prior years, we have not carried forward any 
capitalised internal IT or development spend – with all these costs being in effect expensed in the period incurred. This continuing 
investment in our business, coupled with our approach of expensing (not capitalising) all our technology development expenses 
again saw us in a loss position, with Tyro posting a net loss after tax of $16.4 million (FY17: loss of $12.8 million). 

Our business is well positioned with total cash and investments of $85.5 million held at the end of the financial year (FY17: $97.6 
million). Our total  regulatory capital  balance is  also strong at  $96.5 million (FY17:  $109.9 million) and  our capital  ratio is very 
healthy at 139% (FY17: 179%). The capital ratio decline is partially due to the more efficient use of capital as we continue building 
our lending business. 

Payments  

Touching on our payments operation in a little more detail and as mentioned we saw very strong growth in our merchant numbers 
increasing from 18,329 to 23,245 at the end of FY18. 

This 27% lift was the result of a renewed focus on customer acquisition which saw new merchant applications increase 56%. The 
increase in merchant numbers was also driven by an increase in our direct integration efforts with our Point of Sales (POS) and 
Practice Management Systems (PMS) partners. At the end of the financial year we had a segment leading 257 POS and PMS 
partners working with us (FY17: 231), with all these systems integrating seamlessly with our payment terminals. Our merchant 
satisfaction and retention levels were also a key area of attention in the year and we achieved market leading outcomes in both 
of these important areas. 

As mentioned the value of transactions processed on our platform grew an impressive 26% with $13.4 billion in credit and debit 
card transactions processed in the 12 months to 30 June 2018 (FY17: $10.6 billion). We achieved an all-time record in monthly 
transaction values in December 2017 with $1.3 billion being processed in that month alone. Pleasingly even with these volume 
increases,  our  ongoing  transaction  reliability  to  our  merchants  remained  at  a  high  of  99.99%  uptime  availability  for  our  core 
acquiring platform.  

All the above factors combined to drive a very strong revenue outcome from our payments operation of $143.0 million (FY17: 
$115.8 million). 

Banking Operations 

Our two banking products, whilst still in their infancy, are displaying positive trends. These products are focused on providing our 
customers with innovative ways to meet their transactional and unsecured lending needs. 

Deposits 

Our Tyro Bank Account is a fee free interest bearing transactional account. As at 30 June 2018 we had 1,258 active Tyro Bank 
Accounts up from 355 as at 30 June 2017. We held $11.6 million of funds on deposit as at 30 June 2018 compared with $3.9 
million a year prior. 

Loans 

Our Tyro Business Loan is a cash-flow based unsecured loan purpose-built to assist SMEs in growing their businesses. This 
product provides small unsecured loans to eligible Tyro merchants which are repaid via a pre-agreed percentage of their daily 
EFTPOS / payments settlements, offered on the basis of a fixed fee. 

With average loan balances of less than $40,000 and an average loan term of less than 6 months, this product is being used by 
many of our SMEs as a way of accessing cash flow earlier to accelerate their growth initiatives. The highly attractive feature of 
this  product  is  its  ease  of  management,  with  repayments  that  cycle  up  or  down  in  accordance  with  a  merchant’s  daily  card 
transaction volumes. 

This  innovative  product  was  soft  launched  in  early  2017  and  to  date  it  has  only  been  offered  to  around  4,000  of  our  23,000 
merchants. As mentioned the product is displaying a very promising growth profile and has achieved strong repeat usage. We 
achieved a 127% lift in loan originations in FY18 reaching $25.2 million (FY17: $11.1 million) taking the total originations since 
product inception to more than $35 million in loans.

New Initiatives  

We were proud to have been the first (and to date only) bank to have launched ‘least cost routing’ to market. Our ‘Tap + Save’ 
feature is a cost-saving initiative for our merchants that directs card payments through the transaction path that is the lowest cost 
for the merchant, instead of the most profitable for the bank. This initiative is a clear demonstration of our commitment to doing 
the right thing for those Australian businesses that have chosen to partner with Tyro. 

Towards the end of FY18 we launched our ‘born for business’ marketing campaign to build awareness of Tyro in the market which 
is understandably low given the absence of a sustained marketing effort in the past. A continual marketing profile will be a feature 
in FY19 and beyond. 

We  secured  exclusive  rights  with  six  of  Australia’s  leading  hospitality  Point  of  Sale  (POS)  providers  to  connect  to  our  newly 
announced Tyro Platform which is in development. This Platform aims to streamline the connectivity of third-party apps (such as 
Order Ahead and Loyalty apps) to POS systems. This initiative builds on our long history of system integration expertise and aims 
to remove the friction and complexity that multiple apps cause for merchants in their day-to-day operations. 

We announced last week that we had entered into an agreement with the world’s largest mobile and online payment platform, 
Alipay, to become the first Australian bank to offer a seamless, all-in-one EFTPOS solution with Alipay for Tyro’s merchants and 
improve Australian businesses’ access to the Chinese visitor market. We expect the first merchant integration to be operational 
this calendar year. 

Also last week, Tyro was announced as the winner of the “Best Payments Services Bank” category at the prestigious 2018 
Australian Business Banking Awards beating several of the ‘majors’ for this award. 

In closing, I thank the amazing and talented team at Tyro - it is their enthusiasm, commitment and sheer hard work that drove our 
performance in FY18 and so I thank one and all for making our results in the year possible. 

As always, our Annual General Meeting will provide an opportunity to provide you with further insights and to outline a few of the 
new initiatives we have in the pipeline for FY19, I hope you can join us for this event on 25 October 2018.

The Company holds an authority under the Banking Act 1959 (Cth) to carry on a banking business as an Authorised Deposit-
taking Institution and is subject to prudential capital requirements set by APRA. The Company is fully compliant with the 
prudential capital requirements prescribed by APRA and has sufficient capital to fund on-going operations. The information

Total Tier 1 capital held as at 30 June 2018 was $95.7 million. The Company has always held sufficient capital to meet its internal 
targets above APRA’s prudential capital requirements. 

Risk Management 

The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the risk management strategy, including determining the Company’s

operations or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent financial years.  

Likely developments and expected results

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE 

The Company’s Constitution allows the Company to pay insurance premiums for contracts insuring a Director, Secretary or 
other officer of the Company against any liability incurred in that person’s capacity as an officer of the Company, to the extent 
permitted by law. During the financial year, consistent with the Company’s Constitution, the Company paid a premium in 
respect of a contract insuring the current and former Directors of the Company, the Company Secretaries and the officers of the 
Company. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liabilities insured against and the amount of the 
premium. 

Clause 104.1 of the Company’s Constitution provides that each current and former Director, Secretary or other officer of the 
Company is indemnified, to the maximum extent permitted by law against any liability incurred by the person in their capacity as 
an officer of the Company (including legal costs incurred in defending any legal action or proceedings). The Company has also 
entered into deeds of indemnity, insurance and access with its Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Company Secretaries and 
Chief Financial Officer (and certain former officers) which will indemnify them against liability incurred as an officer of the 
Company, to the extent permitted by law. 

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s standard engagement letter with the Company’s auditor, Ernst & Young (EY), the 
Company has agreed to indemnify EY against any liability incurred as auditor, to the extent permitted by law.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

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 4 September 2018. 

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, 
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 $45.2 million as at 30 June 2018 (2017: $77.0 million). 

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 the corresponding half-year interim 
period. 

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

The following Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations which may have a material impact on the Company have 
been issued, but are not yet effective, and unless otherwise stated have not been early adopted by the Company: 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 

AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 and results in changes to accounting policies for financial assets and financial liabilities in the 
areas of Classification and Measurement, Impairment and Hedge Accounting. The Company will first apply AASB 9 in the 
financial year beginning 1 July 2018. Details of the implementation and major changes are outlined below: 

Classification and Measurement: 

AASB 9 introduces a new model that categorises financial assets based on the Company’s business model for realising 
these assets and whether the contractual cash flows of the asset represent solely payments of principal and interest. The 
Company will apply the following policies for the new AASB 9 classification and measurement categories:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

•  Amortised Cost - A financial asset will be measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:  

1. 

2. 

the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to 
collect contractual cash flows; and  
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely 
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. 

•  Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) - A financial asset will be measured at FVOCI if both of 

the following conditions are met:  

1. 

2. 

the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting 
contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and  
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely 
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. 

•  Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVPL) - All financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or FVOCI 
will be measured at FVPL. All financial assets that are equity instruments will be measured at FVPL unless the 
Company irrevocably elects to present subsequent changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income. The 
Company does not expect to make this election. The Company may also irrevocably elect to designate a financial 
asset as measured at FVPL on initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting 
mismatch. 

The accounting for financial liabilities is largely unchanged. 

The Company expects a change to the classification and measurement of its loan product which under AASB 139 is 
currently classified as Loans and Receivables and measured at amortised cost. Under AASB 9, the loan product is 
assessed to be classified and measured at FVPL. The financial impact from the change is not expected to be material.   

With the exception of the loan product, the Company expects no significant impact from the implementation of AASB 9.  

Impairment: 

AASB 9 introduces a revised impairment model which moves from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model which 
requires more timely recognition of expected credit losses as well as recognition of full lifetime expected losses. The 
standard uses a three-stage approach:  

1.  Stage 1 - For financial assets where there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination a 

provision for 12-month expected credit losses is required; 

2.  Stage 2 - For financial assets where there has been a significant increase in credit risk a provision for full lifetime 

expected losses is required. 

3.  Stage 3 – For financial assets where the asset is credit impaired a provision for full lifetime expected losses is 

required.  

The impairment model is only applicable to financial assets measured at amortised cost or FVOCI.   

For financial assets at amortised cost, these will either be subject to the simplified approach or have low credit risk, and so 
are expected to have no significant impact from the implementation of AASB 9. 

Hedge Accounting: 

AASB 9 simplifies the hedge accounting requirements, including hedge effectiveness testing to better align to the risk 
management practices of an organisation.   

The Company currently does not have any hedges in place.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers  

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 and 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.  

The Company will first apply AASB 15 in the financial year beginning 1 July 2018. Presentation changes in the Statement 
of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position are expected as a result of AASB 15 with the impacted 
revenue streams primarily related to merchant service fees and terminal rental income. The financial impact from the 
change is not expected to be material.  

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. 

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 
(including Key Management Personnel) 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 10. 

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 9. 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.

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 expected 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. An assessment of the continuity of 
ownership test (and where applicable, the same business test) is also performed to support the recognition of any carry 
forward tax losses and R&D credits.  

Software capitalisation –The Company has not capitalised any investments on in-house product development. All such 
costs have been expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

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 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 which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to 
ownership of an asset are classified as a finance lease. All other leases are operating leases.  

For operating leases entered into by the Company as lessee, operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Deferred lease incentives are recognised as 
a liability on the Statement of Financial Position on inception of the lease and subsequently reduced on a straight line basis 
over the lease term by recognising the incentive through rent expense.  

For purchased assets where the Company is the lessor under an operating lease, these are carried at cost and depreciated 
over their useful lives. Property, plant and equipment includes assets leased out under operating leases. Operating lease 
income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more appropriate. 

The Company does not have any finance leases in place. 

(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 reporting date. 

Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the statement of 
comprehensive income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which 
applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. 

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

(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. 

(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: 

2018 

2017 

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

(s) 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. 

(t) 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. 

(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 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 from chargebacks 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.  

(v) 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. 

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.  

(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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

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.  

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. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with 
terms to maturity and currencies that match as closely as possible to the estimated future cash outflows. 

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 the 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 10. 

The Company also has share-based compensation benefits in the form of share performance rights which are tied to a 
performance condition. The policy treatment is consistent with that for share options via the Employee Share Option Plan.   

(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. The 
Company de-recognises scheme receivables against associated merchant payables as the risks and rewards are passed 
through in line with contractual obligations.

In July 2016, the Company launched the Smart Growth Funding product in pilot, which was offered to existing Tyro EFTPOS 
merchants. In January 2017, the product exited pilot into wider availability. 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 reduces the loan principal and 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. In the Statement of Financial Position, any outstanding unearned fees are netting off against the loan balance.

10. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS 

The Company will provide benefits to employees (including Key Management Personnel (KMP)) 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 KMP 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.

10. 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 6 to 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 2018:

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 6 and 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 14,090,505 options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: 37,612,657). 

The weighted average remaining contractual life for share options outstanding as at 30 June 2018 was 4 years (2017: 4 years).

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 
lending and investing 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 the 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(v). 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 the reporting date.

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(v).

16. 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 $403,019 (2017: $486,949). A decrease of 50 basis points in the general cash 
rate will have an equal and opposite effect. 

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

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 the reporting 
date the Company has some US Dollar and Euro exposure.

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 $381,991 (2017: $396,464). 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 $282,341 
(2017: $293,038). 

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 2018 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 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 the 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.

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

Transfer between categories 

In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Company further invested in floating rate notes which have a short-term repricing profile 
and are of high credit quality. The fair value of these floating rate notes is obtained from an independent third party pricing 
service that uses tradable prices and quotes from active markets. In order to align with this quoted price methodology, during 
the year there were transfers of floating rate notes out of Level 2 into the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. $37.9 million of floating 
rate notes are reported in Level 1 as at 30 June 2018 and $20.3 million were restated in the comparative period into Level 1. 

17. 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: 

Contingent liabilities – secured 

(I) Irrevocable standby letters of credit in favour of: 

MasterCard International 
Visa International 
UnionPay International

The Company has provided an irrevocable standby letter of credit of $3.3 million (in 2017: $3.2 million) 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 up to 9 month’s rent and includes all annual increases of 4% since 2016 until lease maturity and is 
refundable on expiry of the lease agreement, subject to satisfactory vacation of the leased premises.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

18. 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.  

Type of Terminals

The operating lease commitments relate to the lease of the Company's registered office located at 155 Clarence Street, Sydney 
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%. 

19. 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. Therefore, no 
segment reporting attributed to other products has been presented in the current year.

20. AUDITOR'S REMUNERATION 

Amounts paid or payable to the auditor, Ernst & Young (EY), for audit and 
non-audit services performed during the year are set out as follows:

Other services in relation to the Company

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 20 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 2018, 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 2018 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.
