CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholders

It is with a little sadness that I write my last letter to you as Chairman of Tyro. However, as I 
mentioned at our Annual General Meeting back in October last year, the time is right, after more 
than 11 years on Tyro’s Board, for me to pass the baton on. I make this decision with absolute 
confidence in Tyro’s future and knowing that we could not have a safer set of hands to take the 
baton than our Chair elect, David Thodey AO. David has been on the Board for 10 months now 
and his transition to the Chairman role will be seamless.

Welcome David and I wish you and you all at Tyro every success. I take this opportunity to thank 
my fellow Board Members, past and present, our executive and you our investors for their strong 
support over the years.

Looking ahead, I have every confidence in the calibre of the executive team Tyro has assembled 
over the years. They are a winning team with the experience, the ability and the energy to meet 
the challenges and to capitalise upon the exciting opportunities ahead, in payments and the 
broader world of banking.

THE YEAR IN A SNAPSHOT –  
ANOTHER YEAR OF OUTSTANDING GROWTH
We had a particular focus in the 2019 
financial year just passed upon delivering 
customer facing initiatives. This saw Tyro 
deliver features including:

transacted reaching  
$17.5 billion (FY18: $13.4 billion);
•  28% increase in total revenues to  

•  31% increase in the value of payments 

•  our e-commerce platform enabling us to 

provide a single payment solution to those 
of our merchants who also operate an 
online sales channel;

•  a fully integrated Alipay payments solution 
giving Tyro merchants better access to 
the significant and growing number of 
Chinese tourists visiting Australia; and

•  our market-first, cost saving, least cost 

routing solution (‘tap & save’).

These initiatives and our continuing quest 
to eliminate friction in payments saw Tyro 
become the 5th largest Australian bank 
in ‘card-present’ payments, measured by 
EFTPOS terminal numbers.

In the CEO’s Review (see page 14), you can 
see this past financial year was outstanding, 
with strong growth in our core payments 
operations and good progress in offering 
our merchants a suite of business building 
banking products that complement our 
payments offering. Financial highlights 
achieved in FY19 included:

$189.8 million (FY18: $148.2 million);
•  108% increase in loan originations  

in the year totalling  
$52.2 million (FY18: $25.2 million);

•  133% increase in deposit balances ending 

the year at  
$26.9 million (FY18: $11.6 million).

In line with our business plan, we generated 
an EBITDA1 loss of $8.6 million (FY18: loss 
$9.0 million) reflecting our continuing 
investment in developing Tyro business 
building products, our commitment to 
attracting more businesses to the Tyro 
ecosystem and our continuing investment in 
team building. Consistent with our approach 
at half-year a small component ($2.5 million) 
of our investment in technology and product 
development is capitalised in our Balance 
Sheet as an intangible asset. 

(1) EBITDA includes net interest margin generated from banking operations.

REVIEW         DIRECTORS’ REPORT         FINANCIAL REPORT         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 
AN OUTSTANDING TEAM
Financial Year 2019 was Robbie Cooke’s 
first as Chief Executive. On behalf of us all, 
I recognised his outstanding leadership, his 
energy and the passion he has brought into 
Tyro. We are extremely fortunate to have him 
and such a highly talented and dedicated 
multi-disciplinary team driving Tyro’s business. 
Our results in FY19 are only possible when 

BOARD CHANGES
Also, I acknowledge the significant 
contribution in the year of my fellow Board 
members and to record the changes to the 
Board’s composition in FY19.

Early in the year and after 13 years of service 
(including acting Managing Director until 
March last year) our talented colleague Rob 
Ferguson announced his retirement from the 
Board. I pay tribute to the crucial role Rob 
played over his long association with Tyro and 
for the load he carried in transitioning us to 
our current leadership.

Rob’s departure coincided with the 
appointment in July 2018 of David Fite 
bringing his extensive financial sector 
experience to Tyro not only from his time as a 
senior banking executive but also as an active 
fintech investor. 

In November 2018 David Thodey AO joined 
Tyro as a non-executive director, bringing with 

A POSSIBLE LISTING OF TYRO
Following an extensive five-year business 
planning process undertaken in the 
second-half of the year, with Tyro’s 
executive team, the Board decided it might 
be appropriate to investigate the possibility 
of moving from our current non-listed 
public company structure, to an ASX listing.

FY20 + BEYOND
We spent a great deal of time, particularly in 
the second-half of the year planning for the 
next five years. This included refreshing our 
purpose, our mission and our vision as well 
as setting goals and targets. In this process, 
Tyro has explored the future looking deeply 

you have passionate, energised and focused 
team members who share a common sense 
of purpose, a commitment to winning and 
with a clear vision of what success looks like. 
To Robbie and to all Tyros, I thank you for 
the outstanding effort in FY19 and for your 
individual part in driving Tyro’s success.

him a wealth of management, leadership and 
technology experience. I am delighted that at 
our Annual General Meeting in October, David 
becomes Chairman of the Board. 

In February 2019, Mike Cannon-Brookes, after 
a significant nine years as a Board member, 
stepped back from his role due to other 
commitments. We are pleased Mike remains 
as a significant shareholder in Tyro and on 
behalf of Tyro I thank him for his commitment 
and contribution at Tyro. 

In April 2019 Hamish Corlett a principal of TDM 
Growth Partners (also a major Tyro investor), 
joined the Board as a non-executive director. 
Hamish brings to the Board his extensive 
finance and investment experience. 

To all my colleagues who served on the Board 
with me over the years, I say thank you one 
and all, for what you have done for Tyro and 
for your influence in its ongoing success.

As a result, we have appointed advisors to 
assess the possibility of listing in the next 
18 months but not earlier than November 
2019 (subject to market conditions and other 
relevant factors). We will keep shareholders 
informed as our assessment progresses, 
noting that there is no certainty that a listing 
will necessarily occur.

at payments and more broadly at business 
banking in Australia and beyond. As a result, 
we have a clear set of business and project 
priorities to position Tyro for continued strong 
growth and success.

CEO’S OPERATIONAL + FINANCIAL REVIEW

increased by $4.1 billion (up 31%) with a record $17.5 billion in transactions processed by

increased by 25%, with close to 5,8001 additional merchants now benefiting from Tyro’s 
leading payments solution;

•  our revenue increased by $41.5 million (up 28%) to reach a record $189.8 million;
•  our loan originations in the year reached an all-time high of $52.2 million – up 108% on

the prior year;

REVIEW         DIRECTORS’ REPORT         FINANCIAL REPORT         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 
 
 
 
TYRO’S PURPOSE,  
VISION + ECOSYSTEM
As a values driven tech company providing 
payments and banking solutions to Australian 
business, Tyro is perfectly placed to offer a 
much-needed  alternative to the traditional 
incumbents. Our DNA is different to the 
rest of the pack in a number of important 
respects including:

•  we have a long and successful track-record, 
having established our operation some 16 
years ago in the payments segment and have 
developed deep payments domain knowledge 
and expertise;

• 

four years ago, we applied for and were 
granted an unrestricted Australian Banking 
Licence – the first new local entrant to the 
banking sector in a decade - well before the 
‘neo bank’ phenomenon.

•  we have always had a plan and the 

determination to establish a payments and 
banking solution purpose built for Australian 
business, particularly in the long neglected 
(by this country’s major banks) small and 
medium enterprises segment;

•  our ability to solve the friction points 

experienced by business in payments and 
banking stems from the fact that we are a 
tech driven enterprise with approximately half 
of our team being technology professionals;

•  our plan has always been to stay niche and 

nimble with a payments centricity – designing 
banking and other value adding services 
around our payments core – as represented 
by the Tyro ecosystem ‘flywheel’ below.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW
The 2019 financial year saw our business perform 
strongly both in our payments core and in our 
value adding offerings, loans and deposits. 

Our payments business processed $17.5 billion in 
transactions on behalf of our merchants, a lift of 
31% on the prior year (FY18: $13.4 billion) - with 
our growth accelerating beyond the 26% year-
on-year performance in FY18 and outpacing our 
5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 
of 27%. As mentioned earlier we added close 
to 5,800 net new merchants to our payments 
business, taking the total number of merchants 
trusting Tyro with their payments requirements to 
more than 29,000 – a 25% increase on FY18 and 
also outpacing our 5-year CAGR of 23%.

Our merchant cash advance offering continues 
to display a very promising growth profile and 
is achieving strong repeat usage. Since product 
inception (three years ago) we have originated 
more than $88.5 million in loans of which $52.2 
million were originated in FY19, a 108% lift on the 
prior year (FY18: $25.2 million). 

Similarly, strong growth (recognising the 
relatively low base) has been achieved by our 
Tyro Bank Account. This fee-free and interest 
paying business transaction deposit account 
achieved strong momentum with more than 
2,400 active accounts in existence at year’s end, 
representing an 87% increase on prior year (FY18: 
1,285 active accounts).

The strong performance of these three product 
streams in combination saw our revenue in FY19 
increase by $41.5 million (up 28%) reaching a 
record $189.8 million (FY18: $148.2 million).

Our operating expenses increased 19% to $103.5 
million reflecting continuing investment in our 
team and capabilities, brand, and customer 
acquisition / retention. Employee expenses 
represented the largest cost increase lifting 
$7.4 million, reflecting in part an additional 69 
personnel joining the Tyro team by year’s end. 
Our marketing spend lifted 65% to $4.8 million 
which contributed to lifting our prompted 
brand awareness to 10%. Consistent with our 
approach at half-year a component ($2.5 million) 
of our investment in technology and product 
development has been capitalised which appears 
on our balance sheet as intangible assets.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2019REVIEW         DIRECTORS’ REPORT         FINANCIAL REPORT         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 
 
 
THE YEAR IN REVIEW (cont’d)
Our business remains well positioned with total 
cash and investments of $68.8 million held 
at the end of the financial year (FY18: $85.5 
million). Our total regulatory capital balance 
also remains strong at $79.3 million (FY18: 
$96.5 million) and our capital ratio is very 
healthy at 92% (FY18: 139%). The capital ratio 
decline is partially due to the more efficient 
use of capital as we continue to see increased 
take up of our merchant cash advance by our 
core customers.

BANKING OPERATIONS
Whilst still in a ‘build-out’ phase our two 
banking products are growing strongly 
albeit from small bases. These products are 
designed to complement our payments 
offering and provide our merchants innovative 
ways to meet their transactional and 
unsecured lending needs. We have a strong 
conviction that these banking solutions 
meaningfully enhance the overall value 
proposition we offer to our merchants.

PAYMENTS 
Addressing our payments operation in a little 
more detail, as mentioned, we saw very strong 
growth in our merchant numbers increasing 
from 23,245 to 29,031 at the end of FY19.

A number of factors assisted in achieving this 
outcome, including:

•  a focus on merchant satisfaction and 

retention levels which successfully reduced 
our merchant churn from 13.0% to 11.7%;

•  an increase in our direct integration efforts 
with our Point of Sale (POS) and Practice 
Management System (PMS) partners. 
At the end of the financial year we had 
a segment leading 275 POS and PMS 
partners working with us (FY18: 257), with 
all these systems integrating seamlessly 
with our payment terminals; and

•  a continuing focus on customer 

acquisition which saw new merchant 
applications increase 27%.

As mentioned the value of transactions 
processed on our platform grew an 
impressive 31% with $17.5 billion in card 
transactions processed in the 12 months 
to 30 June 2019 (FY18: $13.4 billion). We 
achieved an all-time record in monthly 
transaction values in December 2018 with 
$1.7 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. 

These factors combined to drive a very 
strong revenue outcome from our payments 
operation of $183.7 million, up 28% (FY18: 
$143.0 million).

DEPOSITS
Our Tyro Bank Account is a fee free interest 
bearing transactional account. As at 30 June 
2019 we had 2,401 active Tyro Bank Accounts 
up from 1,285 as at 30 June 2018. We held 
$26.9 million of funds on deposit as at 30 June 
2019 compared with $11.6 million a year prior.

FUNDING
Our Tyro Business Loan is a cash-flow based 
unsecured loan, purpose-built to assist 
merchants 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 upfront 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 merchants 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, removing some of the 
stress of inflexible repayment schedules.

This innovative product was soft launched 
in early 2017 and to date it has only been 
available to around 6,000 of our 29,031 
merchants. As mentioned, the product is 
displaying a very promising growth profile 
and has achieved strong repeat usage. We 
achieved a 108% lift in loan originations in 
FY19 reaching $52.2 million (FY18: $25.2 
million) taking the total originations since 
product inception to more than $88.5 million 
in loans.

In closing, I thank our amazing team at Tyro. 
Without their passion, drive,  enthusiasm, and 
single-minded focus on wowing our customers, we 
could not have delivered the result we did. So, Tyros, 
I thank you one-and-all for making our result in the 
year possible!

Finally, I hope you are able to join us for 
our Annual General Meeting on 15 October 
2019. At the meeting we will provide further 
insights and outline a few of the new 
initiatives we have in the pipeline for FY20, 
so I do hope you can join us for this event.

NEW INITIATIVES 
Beyond the strong financial outcomes in FY19, we 
achieved a number of other significant operational 
achievements in the year, including:

•  we commenced a brand refresh project which 
has resulted in a new Tyro logo, new brand 
positioning and our customer facing assets 
(including our website) being upgraded;

•  on 31 August 2018 we entered into an agreement 
with one of the world’s largest mobile and online 
payment platforms, Alipay, to become the first 
Australian bank to offer a seamless, all-in-one 
EFTPOS solution with Alipay for Tyro’s merchants 
and to improve Australian businesses’ access 
to the Chinese visitor market. Our first Alipay 
transaction was processed on 19 October 2018 
and as at 30 June 2019 we processed in excess 
of $12.5 million in Alipay transactions. We 
currently have more than 3,750 Tyro merchants 
enabled with Alipay;

•  we were proud to have been the first bank to 
have launched ‘least cost routing’ to market 
back in March 2018. Our ‘Tap & Save’ feature is 
a cost-saving initiative for our merchants that 
directs contactless 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. Since launch over 39 million 
transactions have been routed through EFTPOS 
delivering significant savings for our merchants. 
Pleasingly around one out of every three eligible 
Tyro merchants have requested our ‘Tap & Save’ 
feature be enabled, clearly demonstrating the 
attractiveness of the feature;

•  our e-Commerce payments solution went live on 
1 April 2019 enabling Tyro merchants to accept 
online payments for their businesses. This 
solution extends our ability to solve payments 
friction for our merchants true to our purpose.

I THANK OUR AMAZING TEAM AT TYRO. WITHOUT THEIR 

PASSION, DRIVE,  ENTHUSIASM, AND SINGLE-MINDED 

FOCUS ON WOWING OUR CUSTOMERS, WE COULD NOT 

HAVE DELIVERED THE RESULT WE DID.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The Company reported the following operating results for the year and the comparative period:

Net operating income

Loss before tax expense

Loss for the year

2019

2018

$189,770

($20,211)

$148,231

$69,068

($17,521)

($18,387)

($16,370)

The Company had a net loss of $18.4 million for the year ended 30 June 2019. Tyro continued to 
scale up its investment in building its banking business and embarked on a significant growth 
program including new product design, improved operating systems and distribution.

For further information refer to the CEO’s Review on pages 14 to 17.

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE, CAPITAL AND FUNDING
Tyro 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. Tyro is fully compliant with the prudential capital requirements prescribed by APRA and 
has sufficient capital to fund on-going operations. The information required by APS 330: Public 
Disclosure is provided in the ‘Investors’ section of Tyro’s website at www.tyro.com/investors 
(under Regulatory Disclosures).

Tyro had cash and cash equivalents of $23.9 million at the end of the Reporting Period.

Total Tier 1 capital held as at 30 June 2019 was $78.3 million. Tyro 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 Tyro’s appetite for risk. The Chief Executive Officer 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.

Directors’Report (cont’d)REVIEW         DIRECTORS’ REPORT         FINANCIAL REPORT         ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONSIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR
In the opinion of the Directors, there have been no matters or circumstances which have 
arisen during the financial year that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the 
operations of the Company, the result of those operations or the state of affairs of the Company 
in subsequent financial years.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE
On 8 July 2019, Tyro announced it was investigating the potential to move from its current non-
listed public company structure to an ASX listed structure.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
Tyro’s key priorities and strategies for FY20 and beyond are discussed in the CEO’s Review on 
pages 14 to 17. In the Directors’ opinion, any further disclosure of information would be likely to 
result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
Tyro’s Constitution allows it 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 Tyro’s Constitution, Tyro paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the 
current and former Directors of the Company, the Company Secretary 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 Tyro’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). Tyro has also entered into deeds of 
indemnity, insurance and access with its Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Company Secretary 
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 Tyro’s standard engagement letter with Tyro’s auditor, Ernst & Young 
(EY), the Company has agreed to indemnify EY against any liability incurred as auditor, to the 
extent permitted by law.

The above Statement of Comprehensive Income should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

(1)  The 2019 financial year results reflect the adoption of AASB 9 Financial instruments (AASB 9) and AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers 

(AASB 15). The Company has not restated prior periods as permitted by AASB 9 and AASB 15, with applicable transition adjustments being 
recognised in opening retained earnings at 1 July 2018. Refer to Note 1 for details on the impact of initial adoption of AASB 9 and AASB 15.

(2)  Upon adoption of AASB 9, loans that were classified as loans and receivables and measured at amortised cost under AASB 139 have certain 
features that resulted in the loans not meeting AASB 9’s solely payments of principal and interest requirements. Accordingly, these loans 
have been re-classified to fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Loans measured at FVTPL are not subject to separate impairment testing 
requirements as the expected repayments are factored into the fair valuation of the portfolio.

(3)  Fair value through other comprehensive income. Refer Note 1(d)  

(4)  Represents the available-for-sale revaluation reserve for periods prior to the adoption of AASB 9 on 1 July 2018.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d)REVIEW         DIRECTORS’ REPORT         FINANCIAL REPORT         ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONTYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

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 by the Directors on 29 August 2019.

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 loans and financial 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 $25.6 million as at 30 June 2019 (2018: $42.6 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 except for:

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 replaced AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement from 1 July 2018 for the Company. AASB 9 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 has applied the requirements of AASB 9 in the current reporting period beginning 1 July 2018 
in respect of the classification and measurement of financial assets and impairment of financial assets. The Company currently does 
not have any hedges in place. The transition adjustments have been recognised in opening retained earnings at 1 July 2018 with no 
restatement of prior periods, as permitted by AASB 9.

The key changes in accounting policies and impacts from the transition are summarised below:

38

REVIEW         DIRECTORS’ REPORT         FINANCIAL REPORT         ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONREVIEW         DIRECTORS’ REPORT         FINANCIAL REPORT         ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONTYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 20191. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Classification and measurement:

Financial assets:

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 (SPPI). The Company applies the 
following policies for the three new AASB 9 classification and measurement categories: 

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

1.  the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash 

flows; and 

2.  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.  the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and 

selling financial assets; and 

2.   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. 

Changes in the fair value of financial assets that are classified as FVOCI are recognised in the FVOCI reserve, except for recognition of 
expected credit losses, interest revenue or dividend income which is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (SOCI). 

Interest income for the above financial assets are recognised in the SOCI under ‘Interest income on treasury investments’ using the 
effective interest rate (EIR) method (or a method that approximates the EIR method).

When financial assets at FVOCI (other than equity investments) are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised 
in the FVOCI reserve is reclassified to the SOCI. For equity investments that the Company has elected to measure at FVOCI, the 
cumulative gain or loss recognised in the FVOCI reserve is never recycled to the SOCI upon derecognition. The Company may reclass 
between equity accounts.

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

Interest income from loans at FVTPL are recognised in the SOCI under ‘Interest income on loans’.

The Company determines the business model at the level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed. In determining the 
business model, all relevant evidence that is available at the date of assessment is used including:

•  how the performance of financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the Company’s key 

management personnel; and

• 

the risks that affect the performance of the business model and the way in which those risks are managed.

Judgement is exercised to determine the appropriate level to assess the Company’s business model.

Financial liabilities:

The accounting for financial liabilities is largely unchanged.

Impairment:

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

•  Stage 1 - For financial assets where there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, a provision for 12-month ECL 

is required; 

•  Stage 2 - For financial assets where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, a provision for full lifetime ECL is required; 

•  Stage 3 - For financial assets where the asset is credit impaired, a provision for full lifetime ECL is required. 

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

Transition Impacts:

As permitted by AASB 9, the Company has not restated prior periods, with applicable transition adjustments being recognised in 
opening retained earnings at 1 July 2018. The table below shows the presentation, classification and measurement, and impairment 
changes on transition, with the key changes being:

Presentation:

Changes to the Statement of Financial Position:

1.  Addition of a new line item titled ‘Financial Investments – at FVOCI’, replacing the previously disclosed ‘Available-for-sale 

investments’. Financial assets within this classification consist of floating rate notes and equity investments. 

  On transition, the addition of a new line item titled ‘Financial Investments – at FVTPL’ was also included in the Statement of Financial 
Position. This consisted of Visa shares which were subsequently sold during the financial year. Refer below for related classification 
and measurement changes; and

2.  The ‘Available-for-sale revaluation reserve’ has been replaced with the ‘FVOCI reserve’.

Changes to the Statement of Comprehensive Income:

In order to align the presentation of items of income and expense with the categories of financial instruments presented in the 
Statement of Financial Position, the following change was made:

3.  Addition of a new line item titled ‘Fair value gain on loans’, due to the change in classification and measurement of loans to FVTPL.

Classification and measurement:

4.  Loans that were previously measured at amortised cost are now measured at FVTPL, with transition adjustments taken through 

opening retained earnings. The SPPI requirements of AASB 9 were not satisfied; and

5.  Investments in Visa shares that were previously measured at FVOCI, were measured at FVTPL as part of the transition to AASB 9. 

Impairment:

6.  An impairment assessment is no longer applicable to the Company’s loans following the reclassification of loans from amortised 

cost to FVTPL. Impairment provisions relating to previously disclosed periods were reclassed through opening retained earnings on 
transition; and

7.  No adjustments to opening retained earnings were recognised for impairment of financial assets at amortised cost or FVOCI. The 

amendments to accounting policies did not result in material changes to the amounts recognised previously at 30 June 2018, or the 
low credit risk exemption was applied.

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 adopted AASB 15 on 1 July 2018. On conclusion of the transition project it was determined that no adjustments to 
opening retained earnings were required as the amendments to the accounting policies did not result in significant changes to the 
timing, amount or presentation of revenue recognised previously at 30 June 2018.

The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers is primarily in the nature of fees and commission income as presented in the 
Statement of Other Comprehensive Income.  

Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019, but do not have an impact on the financial statements of 
the Company. The Company has not early adopted any standards, interpretations, or amendments that have been issued but are not 
yet effective.

(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 16 Leases 

AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 with the primary change applying to the lessee’s accounting for leases. Under AASB 16 the lessee is 
required to recognise a lease on the balance sheet which involves recognising a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a related lease liability, 
being the present value of future lease payments. This does not apply where the underlying asset is of low value or the lease has a 
term of 12 months or less as permitted by the practical expedients in AASB 16. The lessor accounting remains relatively unchanged 
from AASB 117.

AASB 16 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and is mandatory from 1 July 2019 for the Company. 
Apart from the increase in recognised assets and liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position, the financial impact from the 
changes on transition are not expected to be material.

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

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(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 11. The options are expensed using a 
linear probability of vesting approach.

Classification of and valuation of investments - The Company classifies its investments in equity securities and floating rate notes as 
Financial Investments – at FVOCI, with movements in fair value 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.  

Valuation of loans - The Company classifies and measures its loans at fair value, with movements in fair value recognised directly in the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. The fair value of loans has been estimated using a valuation technique that converts forecasted 
cash flows to a present value amount (discounted cash flow method). The forecasted cash flows are actuarially determined using 
predictive models based partly on evidenced historical performance and expected repayment profiles. Further information on the inputs 
into the valuation model to derive the fair value of loans are detailed in Note 17.

Capitalisation of internally generated software - An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is 
recognised by the Company only when the following can be demonstrated: 

• 

• 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; 

its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset; 

•  how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits; 

•  availability of resources to complete the development; and 

• 

the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 

The Company commences amortising internally generated software projects from the point the asset is ready for use.

Estimation of useful lives of assets - The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been primarily 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 for property, plant and equipment are included in Note 9 and 
Note 10 for amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives. In assessing whether the useful life of an intangible asset is finite or 
indefinite, Management use judgement in determining the period over which expected future benefits will be generated, also factoring 
in the market that the Company operates in and the longer term strategy for the Company. 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.

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.

(F) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised in accordance with AASB 15 which introduced a single, principle-based five step 
recognition and measurement model. The five steps are:

1.  Identify the contract with a customer;

2.  Identify separate performance obligations in the contract;

3.  Determine the transaction price;

4.  Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligations identified in Step 2; and

5.  Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. 

The Company’s fee income from contracts with customers is derived primarily 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 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.

Terminal rental income generated from operating leases with merchants is recognised progressively based on a fixed monthly rental on 
terminal. There is no minimum rental period for merchants. 

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in accordance with AASB 9 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.

(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 expected credit losses (ECL). Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on 
an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. 

AASB 9 impairment requirements are based on the ECL model. This replaces the “incurred loss” approach under AASB 139. The Company 
has applied the simplified approach to calculate ECL for trade receivables where a loss allowance is based on lifetime ECL at each 
reporting date. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. 
The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e. by customer 
type). The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information 
that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic condition.

(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 when the 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 Inventories, 
where the cost of inventory exceeds the net realisable value, inventory is written down to their net realisable value. 

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

(M) LOANS

(i) Recognition and measurement

Loans to merchants are classified and measured at fair value with changes in the fair value being recognised in the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income. 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 and is disclosed together with the fair value movement on loans.  

When the loan is uncollectible, it is written-off. Such write-offs of loans occur after all the necessary assessment for write-off 
procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. Loan write-offs are disclosed as lending losses in 
the SOCI. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off go to the SOCI.

(N) FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS

Financial 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 through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Gains 
or losses on financial investments are recognised in a separate reserve component of equity until the investment is sold, collected 
or otherwise disposed of or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously 
reported in equity is transferred to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The recycling to the Statement of Comprehensive Income 
upon derecognition does not apply to equity investments that the Company has irrevocably elected to measure at FVOCI. For these 
investments the cumulative gain or loss remains in equity, though the Company may reclass between equity accounts.

Purchase and sale of investments are recognised on trade date - the date on which the Company becomes party to the contractual 
provisions of the investment.

(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:

Plant and equipment:

EFTPOS terminals

Furniture and office equipment

Computer equipment

Leasehold improvements

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.

(S) INTANGIBLE ASSETS

AASB 138 Intangible Assets

The Company continues to make significant investments in various projects to develop new products and enhance existing products’ 
capabilities. For certain projects, it is more probable that future economic benefits from the assets arising from the projects will flow 
to the entity and their expenditure can be measured reliably with enhancements in the Company’s data governance, system and 
reporting. Therefore, software development costs for those projects are recognised as intangible assets in the Statement of Financial 
Position in accordance with AASB 138.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated 
amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Each development project will then be reviewed annually for any indicator of 
impairments in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.

(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) 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 in the general reserve for credit losses 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.

(W) GENERAL RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company appropriates for estimated future credit losses 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 appropriates 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. 

(X) 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. 

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.

(Y) 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 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. Details of the types of share-based payments and their respective 
terms and vesting conditions are disclosed in Note 11.

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

(Z) 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.

(AA) 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.

(AB) 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.

Loans recognised on the Statement of Financial Position 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.

On transition to AASB 9 on 1 July 2018, loans that were previously measured at amortised cost, are now measured at FVTPL. The loan 
balance at 30 June 2019 includes a fair value gain, compared to prior disclosing periods which are reported at amortised cost under 
AASB 139. Refer to the transition disclosure in Note 1(d) for further detail.

VISA shares were acquired following the demutualisation of VISA International, as a result of which listed VISA shares were issued to 
members of the VISA network. On transition to AASB 9 on 1 July 2018, Visa shares that were previously classified as available-for-sale 
with changes in the fair value taken to the available-for-sale revaluation reserve, were reclassed to FVTPL. The transition adjustments 
were recognised in opening retained earnings. During the financial year the Company sold all of its remaining VISA shares. 

During the financial year, the Company received equity instruments as part of a sublease arrangement of Level 5 of the Company’s 
registered office. The sublease term is aligned to the remaining head lease term ending 21 January 2022 and will continue to be used 
as a coworking space. For these reasons, the Company elected to measure these investments at FVOCI, resulting in no recycling of fair 
value changes to the Statement of Comprehensive Income upon a derecognition event.

10. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (cont’d)

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research costs on an individual project are expensed as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and 
testing of identifiable and unique software product controlled by the Company are recognised as an intangible asset when the following 
criteria can be demonstrated:

• 

• 

• 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; 

its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; 

the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; 

•  how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; 

• 

the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible 
asset; and 

• 

its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Capitalised project development costs primarily consist of personnel costs of employees, contractors and consultants directly involved 
in the project. They are amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use over the period of expected future benefit and 
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation 
and accumulated impairment losses. 

KEY ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The following method is used in the calculation of amortisation:

INTANGIBLE ASSET

Internally generated software

AMORTISATION METHOD

Straight line

USEFUL LIFE

Finite (3 - 5 years)

The useful life of finite intangible assets is judgmental and reviewed annually by management with adjustments made where deemed 
necessary.

11. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The Company provides 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

Monthly linear vesting schedule

Annual linear vesting schedule

Performance annual linear vesting schedule

Service 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. The options generally vest in equal 
amounts each month over the vesting term.

Options vest similarly to the monthly linear vesting schedule, except they vest in equal 
amounts annually over the vesting term.

Options vest in equal amounts annually over the vesting term, and are also subject to 
performance criteria. 

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 from the date of grant.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (cont’d)
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.

Other relevant terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the ESOP include:

•  The term of each option grant ranges primarily between 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 ESOP are equity-settled. 

•  A 2 year holding lock applies to those options with annual linear or performance annual linear vesting schedules. For annual linear 

options, the lock period applies following the relevant vesting date, and for performance annual linear options the lock period applies 
from exercise date. During this period the shares issued cannot be transferred, sold, encumbered or otherwise dealt with. 

(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 2019: 

Dividend yield (%)

Expected volatility (%)

Risk-free interest rate (%)

Share price ($)

DEC 2018

APR 2018

$1.05

0%

40%

1.46%

$1.10

0%

40%

1.70%

$1.10

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 1,939,496 options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2019 (2018: 14,090,505).

The weighted average remaining contractual life for share options outstanding as at 30 June 2019 was 4 years (2018: 4 years).

The general reserve for credit losses has been created to satisfy APRA’s prudential standards for ADIs as described in Note 1(w). 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.

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, financial investments, deposits and trade and other payables.

(i) Risk management 

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

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

(ii) Risk controls

Risks are controlled through a process that identifies key risks, establishes controls to manage those risks, and maintains a regular review 
process to monitor the effectiveness of controls. Business risks are controlled within tolerance levels approved by 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 financial investments in 
floating rate notes.

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 framework outlines the core values which govern its credit risk taking activities and reflect the 
priorities established by the Board. 

The framework is used to develop 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 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, past behaviour and an overview of trading history. 

As part of equity, a General Reserve for Credit Losses is maintained 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(w). The Company does 
not hold any credit derivatives or collateral to offset its credit exposure. The Company’s exposure to bad debts from chargebacks 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. 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 Chief 
Risk Officer (CRO). The CRO is also responsible for ensuring the Lending Credit Risk Policy is reviewed regularly and submitted to the 
BRC for endorsement and approval by the Board. 

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 assessment. A merchant 
must also have a minimum acquiring transaction history to be eligible for a loan offer, as well as providing a personal guarantee.

The Company maintains a General Reserve for Credit Losses to also cover credit losses estimated but not certain to arise over the full 
life of the loans as described in Note 1(w).

(v) Operational risk

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

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

(vi) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. 
Market prices comprise four types of risk: interest rate risk, 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 at this stage.

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, term deposits, floating rate notes, loans and variable deposits (bank account for businesses).

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 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 and increase equity by $284,669 (2018: $403,019). 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.

2) Foreign currency risk

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

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 terminals 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 and increase equity by $183,055 (2018: $381,991). A depreciation of 15% of the US dollar and Euro 
compared to the Australian dollar will reduce the Company’s profit and reduce equity by $135,302 (2018: $282,341).

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

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market 
conditions (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), for example from changes in equity prices. The Company 
historically had price risk from its investment in Visa shares which were valued by way of reference to an underlying listed equity on the 
New York Stock Exchange and as such its fair value fluctuated in direct proportion with the quoted market price indicated. The Company 
sold all of its Visa shares during the financial year. 

(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 2019 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 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 Board approved liquidity framework. Responsibility for liquidity management is delegated to the 
CFO and CEO. The CFO manages liquidity on a daily basis and submits monthly reports to ALCO, and to the BRC at the seating of the 
BRC. 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 financial liabilities and 
anticipated expenditure.

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.

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. 

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. Refer to Note 1(d) for further detail on the change in measurement of loans to FVTPL on transition to AASB 9.

FLOATING RATE NOTES

The floating rate notes invested in by the Company 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. 

LOANS

Loans are included in Level 3 due to one or more of the significant inputs used in determining the fair value being based on 
unobservable inputs. To determine the fair value, an income valuation approach is used. This technique converts forecasted cash 
flows to a present value amount (also known as a discounted cash flow method). Forecast cash flows are actuarially determined using 
predictive models based partly on evidenced historical performance and expected repayment profiles. 

This model was developed due to the change in accounting policy for AASB 9 which resulted in loans being measured at fair value 
(previously at amortised cost). The fair value model will be periodically reviewed, tested and refined as needed.

The fair value of loans requires estimation of:

•  The expected future cash flows;

•  The expected timing of receipt of those cash flows; and

•  Discount rates derived from similar observed rates for comparable assets that are traded in the market. 

The main inputs used in measuring the fair value of loans are as follows:

•  Loan balance - accepted principal and fee, outstanding principal and fee, and date of acceptance;

•  Annual settlement amount - forecasted total annual settlements for loan customers;

•  Current repayment percentage - percentage of daily settlements through the loan customers’ terminals that go towards loan 

repayments;

•  Historical default and recovery information; and 

•  Discount rates - market benchmarked discount rate and allows for a market level of default risk. 

The unobservable pricing inputs which determine fair value are based on:

•  Tyro pricing of loans;

•  Historical data with respect to behavioural repayment patterns – generally ranging between 3 to 6 months; and

•  Default experience.

These inputs directly affect the fair value and there are no reasonable alternative inputs which warrant disclosure. 

Refer to Note 2 for the components making up the fair value gain in the period. 

EQUITY INVESTMENTS 

As at the reporting date, the only remaining investments in equity were those equity instruments received as part of the sublease 
arrangement of Level 5 of the Company’s registered office to a third party, which previously operated as the Tyro Fintech Hub.    

These investments are also included in Level 3 due to one or more of the significant inputs used in determining the fair value being 
based on unobservable inputs. To determine the fair value, a revenue multiples approach was used using comparative industry multiples 
of the third party to arrive at an enterprise value, and then deriving the investment value of the Company’s share in that enterprise. 

The unobservable pricing inputs which determine fair value are based on:

• 

Industry multiples; and

•  Historical data with respect to revenue of the third party. 

TRANSFER BETWEEN CATEGORIES

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

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

The Company has provided an irrevocable standby letter of credit of $3.4 million (in 2018: $3.3 million) secured through fixed charges 
over term deposits with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac Banking Corporation, to Mastercard International, Visa 
International and UnionPay 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 has been issued by 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.

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, provided the terminal is 
returned to the Company.

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.

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

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 or 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 2019, 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 2019 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 Chairman’s Letter, Chief Executive Officer’s
Operational and Financial 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.
