NOTE 22. EMPLOYEE EQUITY PARTICIPATION
Share-based payments
The Group provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share-based payments,
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity settled transactions).
The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, together with
a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting
period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). At each
subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the Statement of Comprehensive Income is in accordance
with the vesting conditions.
Equity settled awards granted by the company to employees of subsidiaries are recognised in the subsidiaries’ separate financial
statements as an expense with a corresponding credit to equity. As a result, the expense recognised by the Group is the total
expense associated with such awards. Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if
more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated.
(a) OzForex Group Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Group has a Long-Term Incentive Plan for employees (including Executives) identified by the Board. The plan is based on the
grant of performance rights that vest into shares on a one-to-one basis at no cost to the employee. Settlement of the performance
rights is made in ordinary shares.
If the employee leaves during or before the performance period due to illness, redundancy or death, any granted rights which the
Board has the discretion to allow them to vest, otherwise will lapse. If the employee leaves due to other reasons, the granted rights
may be forfeited at the Board’s discretion.
There were no cancellations or modifications to the plan during 2015.

NOTE 24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk Management
Risk is an integral part of the Group’s businesses. The main risks faced by the Group are market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk,
operational risk and legal compliance risk. Responsibility for management of these risks lies with the individual businesses
giving rise to them. It is the responsibility of the Executive Team and the Risk Committee to ensure appropriate assessment
and management of these risks.
The risks which the Group is exposed to are managed on a globally consolidated basis for OzForex Group Limited as a whole,
including all subsidiaries, in all locations. The Group’s approach to risk ensures that risks in subsidiaries are subject to the
same rigour and risk acceptance decisions at the parent entity level (i.e. not differentiating where the risk is taken within
the OzForexGroup).

Note 24.1 Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, favourable derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and
financialinstitutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and
committedtransactions.
Credit risk within the Group is managed on a group basis by the Executive Team. At an entity level the Group actively
monitors theforward positions of its counterparties to ensure adequate collateral is held against a client position.
The balances disclosed in the credit risk tables below exclude financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit
risk, suchasequity investments or bank notes and coin.
Maximum exposure to credit risk
The table below details the concentration of credit exposure of the Group’s assets to significant geographical locations and
counterparty types. The amounts shown represent the maximum credit risk of the Group’s assets. In all cases this is equal to
the carrying value of the assets with the exception of derivatives which are recorded at the maximum credit exposure.

Note 24.2 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of an entity encountering difficulty in meeting obligations with financial liabilities when they are due.
Liquidity risk within the Group is managed on a group basis by Group Treasury.
If counterparty banks do not provide the volume of counterparty hedging required by the OzForex Group, the Group would be
exposed to movements in exchange rates and interest rates. The Group manages this liquidity risk by ensuring that at any point
intime a minimum of two counterparty banks facilitate counterparty hedging.
Contractual undiscounted cash flows
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as at 31 March 2015 based on contractual
undiscounted repayment obligations. Repayments which are subject to notice are treated as if notice were given immediately.
However, the Group expects that many customers will not request repayment on the earliest date the Group could be required
to pay and the table does not reflect the expected cash flows indicated by the Group’s deposit retention history.
Derivatives and trading portfolio liabilities are included in the less than 3 months column at their fair value. Liquidity risk on these
items is not managed on the basis of contractual maturity, since they are not held for settlement according to such maturity and
will frequently be settled in the short-term at fair value. Derivatives designated in a hedging relationship are included according
to their contractual maturity.

Note 24.3 Market risk
Market risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the value of Group’s trading portfolios as a result of changes in market prices
orvolatility. The Group is exposed to the following risks in each of the major markets in which it trades:
•interest rates: changes in the level, shape and volatility of yield curves, the basis between different interest rate securities
and derivatives and credit margins;
•foreign exchange: changes in spot and forward exchange rates and the volatility of exchange rates.
•market risk of the Group is managed on aglobally consolidated basis for the Groupas a whole, including all subsidiaries, in
all locations. The Group’s internal approach to risk ensures that risks in subsidiaries are subject to the same rigour and risk
acceptance decisions at the parent entity level.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group has exposure tonon-traded interest rate riskgenerated by cash and cash equivalents. The Group also offers forward contracts
to its clients that enable clients to lock in exchange rates up to 12 months in advance. In addition to movements in foreign exchange rates
(which are managed in the manner described under foreign currency risk further in this Note), these forward contract transactions are
exposed to changes in interest rates. To manage this risk, the Group runs interest scenario testing across the aggregated transactions
and may enter into swap contracts with counterparty banks to reduce their aggregate exposure when applicable.
The table below indicates the Group’s sensitivity to movements in interest rates as at 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2014.

Foreign Currency Risk
When a foreign exchange transaction is booked, the exchange rate (and therefore the amount of foreign currency which the OzForex
Group will be required to deliver to the client’s beneficiary) is agreed. Typically funding from the client for the international payment
is not received by the Group for another 12 to 24 hours and in that time the available exchange rate (which the Group could use to
acquire the required currency) is likely to have moved. The OzForex Group manages this risk at the time the transaction is agreed
byregular hedging of its net foreign currency exposures with one of its counterparty banks.
To manage the movement in foreign exchange rates, the Group’s technology platform aggregates transactions across its entire
client base and nets out buy transactions against sell transactions. The OzForex Group staff clear exposures by entering into
hedging contracts with counterparty banks pursuant to internal guidelines which provide for hedging to occur once exposure
to a single currency reaches or exceeds a defined threshold. The Group’s financial risk on these exposures is limited to potential
loss or gain from currency movements which may occur between when the transaction with the client is booked and when
hedging occurs.
The table below indicates the Group’s sensitivity to movements in foreign currency exchange rates as at 31 March 2015 and

NOTE 25. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value reflects the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a
liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Quoted prices or rates are used to determine
fair value where an active market exists. If the market for a financial instrument is not active, fair values are estimated using present
value or other valuation techniques, using inputs based on market conditions prevailing on the measurement date.
The values derived from applying these techniques are affected by the choice of valuation model used and the underlying assumptions
made regarding inputs such as timing and amounts of future cash flows, discount rates, credit risk, volatility and correlation.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are categorised in their entirety, in accordance with the levels of the fair value hierarchy
prescribed under the accounting standards as outlined below:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) are determined using
valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The appropriate level for an instrument is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
The following methods and significant assumptions have been applied in determining the fair values of financial instruments:
Liabilities, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, derivative financial instruments and other transactions
undertaken for trading purposes are measured at fair value by reference to quoted market prices when available (e.g. listed
securities). If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated on the basis of pricing models or other
recognised valuation techniques.
The following methods and significant assumptions have been applied in determining the fair values of financial instruments which
are carried at amortised cost:
•The fair values of liquid assets and other instruments maturing within 3 months approximate their carrying amounts. This
assumption is applied to liquid assets and the short-term elements of all other financial assets and financial liabilities.
•The fair value of demand deposits with no fixed maturity is approximately their carrying amount as they are short-term in nature
or are payable on demand.
•The fair values of balances due from/to related entities are approximated by their carrying amount as the balances are generally
receivable/payable on demand.

NOTE 22. EMPLOYEE EQUITY PARTICIPATION
Share-based payments
The Group provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share-based payments,
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity settled transactions).
The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, together with
a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting
period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). At each
subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the Statement of Comprehensive Income is in accordance
with the vesting conditions.
Equity settled awards granted by the company to employees of subsidiaries are recognised in the subsidiaries’ separate financial
statements as an expense with a corresponding credit to equity. As a result, the expense recognised by the Group is the total
expense associated with such awards. Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if
more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated.
(a) OzForex Group Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Group has a Long-Term Incentive Plan for employees (including Executives) identified by the Board. The plan is based on the
grant of performance rights that vest into shares on a one-to-one basis at no cost to the employee. Settlement of the performance
rights is made in ordinary shares.
If the employee leaves during or before the performance period due to illness, redundancy or death, any granted rights which the
Board has the discretion to allow them to vest, otherwise will lapse. If the employee leaves due to other reasons, the granted rights
may be forfeited at the Board’s discretion.
There were no cancellations or modifications to the plan during 2015.

NOTE 23. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ASSETS
The Group has no contingent assets or liabilities.
NOTE 24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk Management
Risk is an integral part of the Group’s businesses. The main risks faced by the Group are market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk,
operational risk and legal compliance risk. Responsibility for management of these risks lies with the individual businesses
giving rise to them. It is the responsibility of the Executive Team and the Risk Committee to ensure appropriate assessment
and management of these risks.
The risks which the Group is exposed to are managed on a globally consolidated basis for OzForex Group Limited as a whole,
including all subsidiaries, in all locations. The Group’s approach to risk ensures that risks in subsidiaries are subject to the
same rigour and risk acceptance decisions at the parent entity level (i.e. not differentiating where the risk is taken within
the OzForex Group).
62 / OZFOREX GROUP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2015
NOTE 24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Note 24.1 Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, favourable derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and
financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and
committed transactions.
Credit risk within the Group is managed on a group basis by the Executive Team. At an entity level the Group actively
monitors the forward positions of its counterparties to ensure adequate collateral is held against a client position.
The balances disclosed in the credit risk tables below exclude financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit
risk, such as equity investments or bank notes and coin.
Maximum exposure to credit risk
The table below details the concentration of credit exposure of the Group’s assets to significant geographical locations and
counterparty types. The amounts shown represent the maximum credit risk of the Group’s assets. In all cases this is equal to
the carrying value of the assets with the exception of derivatives which are recorded at the maximum credit exposure.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2015
Note 24.2 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of an entity encountering difficulty in meeting obligations with financial liabilities when they are due.
Liquidity risk within the Group is managed on a group basis by Group Treasury.
If counterparty banks do not provide the volume of counterparty hedging required by the OzForex Group, the Group would be
exposed to movements in exchange rates and interest rates. The Group manages this liquidity risk by ensuring that at any point
in time a minimum of two counterparty banks facilitate counterparty hedging.
Contractual undiscounted cash flows
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as at 31 March 2015 based on contractual
undiscounted repayment obligations. Repayments which are subject to notice are treated as if notice were given immediately.
However, the Group expects that many customers will not request repayment on the earliest date the Group could be required
to pay and the table does not reflect the expected cash flows indicated by the Group’s deposit retention history.
Derivatives and trading portfolio liabilities are included in the less than 3 months column at their fair value. Liquidity risk on these
items is not managed on the basis of contractual maturity, since they are not held for settlement according to such maturity and
will frequently be settled in the short-term at fair value. Derivatives designated in a hedging relationship are included according
to their contractual maturity.

NOTE 24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Note 24.3 Market risk
Market risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the value of Group’s trading portfolios as a result of changes in market prices
or volatility. The Group is exposed to the following risks in each of the major markets in which it trades:
•• interest rates: changes in the level, shape and volatility of yield curves, the basis between different interest rate securities
and derivatives and credit margins;
•• foreign exchange: changes in spot and forward exchange rates and the volatility of exchange rates.
•• market risk of the Group is managed on a globally consolidated basis for the Group as a whole, including all subsidiaries, in
all locations. The Group’s internal approach to risk ensures that risks in subsidiaries are subject to the same rigour and risk
acceptance decisions at the parent entity level.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group has exposure to non-traded interest rate risk generated by cash and cash equivalents. The Group also offers forward contracts
to its clients that enable clients to lock in exchange rates up to 12 months in advance. In addition to movements in foreign exchange rates
(which are managed in the manner described under foreign currency risk further in this Note), these forward contract transactions are
exposed to changes in interest rates. To manage this risk, the Group runs interest scenario testing across the aggregated transactions
and may enter into swap contracts with counterparty banks to reduce their aggregate exposure when applicable.
The table below indicates the Group’s sensitivity to movements in interest rates as at 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2014.

Foreign Currency Risk
When a foreign exchange transaction is booked, the exchange rate (and therefore the amount of foreign currency which the OzForex
Group will be required to deliver to the client’s beneficiary) is agreed. Typically funding from the client for the international payment
is not received by the Group for another 12 to 24 hours and in that time the available exchange rate (which the Group could use to
acquire the required currency) is likely to have moved. The OzForex Group manages this risk at the time the transaction is agreed
by regular hedging of its net foreign currency exposures with one of its counterparty banks.
To manage the movement in foreign exchange rates, the Group’s technology platform aggregates transactions across its entire
client base and nets out buy transactions against sell transactions. The OzForex Group staff clear exposures by entering into
hedging contracts with counterparty banks pursuant to internal guidelines which provide for hedging to occur once exposure
to a single currency reaches or exceeds a defined threshold. The Group’s financial risk on these exposures is limited to potential
loss or gain from currency movements which may occur between when the transaction with the client is booked and when
hedging occurs.
The table below indicates the Group’s sensitivity to movements in foreign currency exchange rates as at 31 March 2015 and
31 March 2014.

NOTE 25. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value reflects the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a
liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Quoted prices or rates are used to determine
fair value where an active market exists. If the market for a financial instrument is not active, fair values are estimated using present
value or other valuation techniques, using inputs based on market conditions prevailing on the measurement date.
The values derived from applying these techniques are affected by the choice of valuation model used and the underlying assumptions
made regarding inputs such as timing and amounts of future cash flows, discount rates, credit risk, volatility and correlation.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are categorised in their entirety, in accordance with the levels of the fair value hierarchy
prescribed under the accounting standards as outlined below:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) are determined using
valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The appropriate level for an instrument is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
The following methods and significant assumptions have been applied in determining the fair values of financial instruments:
Liabilities, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, derivative financial instruments and other transactions
undertaken for trading purposes are measured at fair value by reference to quoted market prices when available (e.g. listed
securities). If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated on the basis of pricing models or other
recognised valuation techniques.
The following methods and significant assumptions have been applied in determining the fair values of financial instruments which
are carried at amortised cost:
•• The fair values of liquid assets and other instruments maturing within 3 months approximate their carrying amounts. This
assumption is applied to liquid assets and the short-term elements of all other financial assets and financial liabilities.
•• The fair value of demand deposits with no fixed maturity is approximately their carrying amount as they are short-term in nature
or are payable on demand.
•• The fair values of balances due from/to related entities are approximated by their carrying amount as the balances are generally
receivable/payable on demand.
The table below summarises the carrying value and fair value of all financial instruments of the Group at 31 March.
