OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEAR

Overview

During the 2013 financial year, Genetic Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries generated consolidated gross revenues from continuing operations and other revenues, but excluding interest received, of $8.2 million, representing a 31% increase over the corresponding figure for the 2012 financial year of $6.2 million. The increased loss for the year of $9.3 million was attributable to a one-off gain on deconsolidation of subsidiary that occurred in the 2012 financial year (but not in 2013), as well as an increased investment in the US sales and marketing of the company’s lead product, BREVAGen™.

In August 2013, the Company completed a successful private placement of 41.7 million ordinary shares to sophisticated and institutional investors at an issue price of $0.072 per share which raised a total of $3.0 million, before the payment of associated costs.

Subsequently, the Company announced a Share Purchase Plan offering eligible investors the right to take up to $7,500 worth of shares at an issue price of $0.072 per share. This offer, which is scheduled to close on Friday, 26 September 2013, has been underwritten to a level of $1.8 million, representing 60% of the total amount being sought. Further, the Company has executed a Term Sheet in relation to the issue of a convertible note to a US-based institutional investor, to raise at least US$5 million. This issue of the note is subject to shareholder approval which the Company will seek at a General Meeting.

BREVAGen™ breast cancer predictive risk test

The 2013 financial year saw the Company refine its messaging and focus the roll-out of its breast cancer predictive risk test, BREVAGen™ to key physicians and breast clinics. BREVAGen™ is the first clinically validated breast cancer predictive risk assessment tool that combines a woman’s genetic information with clinical data to assist physicians in developing personalised risk management plans. During the year, the Company continued its roll-out of BREVAGen™ to breast surgeons, obstetricians and gynaecologists in twelve territories accessing more than 60 metropolitan areas across the United States. The Company has nine physician Key Opinion leaders in its Speakers Program who assist in the education of their peers with respect to breast cancer risk assessment and the use of BREVAGen™.

During the first half of the 2013 financial year, the Company announced that it had received licensure to sell BREVAGen™ into the states of California and Florida, bringing the total number of US states in which the BREVAGen™ test can be sold in 49 of the 50 US states. During July 2013, the Company was inspected by a representative of the New York State Department of Health, Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (“CLEP”). The laboratory received an inspection result with no deficiencies reported and, accordingly, GTG expects to receive the formal certificate by the end of the September quarter. This certificate, once received, will enable BREVAGen™ to be sold into the large, highly populated state of New York and recruitment of additional representatives for this region will follow this certification.

In August 2012, the Company announced that it had received European CE Mark approval for BREVAGen™, which will allow BREVAGen™ to be sold in the EU and other countries that recognise the CE Mark.

Reimbursement

Prior to the end of 2012, insurance claims for BREVAGen™ were submitted using the so-called “code stack” of CPT methodology codes. Reimbursement under this regime was positive, with a low percentage of denials and appeals. However, effective 1 January 2013, the AMA removed the code stack claim process, requiring tests without a specific CPT code to be claimed via an “Unlisted or Miscellaneous Code”.

As a result of these changes, the Company now uses a Miscellaneous Code when submitting claims for reimbursement from insurers. As part of this transition, the list price for a BREVAGen™ test was increased to enable the Company to receive payment for aspects of the test that were not previously available under the code stack. Importantly, notwithstanding this increase, the Company has not sought to increase the maximum out-of-pocket amount that a given patient is required to pay for a BREVAGen™ test under its “Patient Protection Program”.

While not all claims have yet been fully adjudicated since the transition to a Miscellaneous Code, early signs are encouraging. The average total payment received from closed cases during the past six months, including all write-offs and denials for non-coverage, has increased by more than 46%, despite an increase in the number of denials.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEAR (cont.)

Reimbursement (cont.)

Credentialing with Preferred Provider Organisations (“PPOs”) allows for expedited claim adjudication as “in-network”. A PPO is a managed care organisation of medical doctors, hospitals and other health care providers which has covenanted with insurers or third-party administrators to provide health care, at reduced rates, to the clients of the respective insurer or administrator. Credentialing is a process whereby provider organisations such as physicians, care facilities and ancillary providers (including testing service providers such as GTG’s wholly-owned US subsidiary, Phenogen Sciences Inc. (“Phenogen”)) contract directly with the PPO. Contracts with PPOs are fundamental to having claims for the BREVAGen™ test adjudicated as “in-network”.

During the reporting period, the Company announced that, through Phenogen, it had executed agreements with four new PPOs: FedMed Inc., MultiPlan Network, Three Rivers Provider Network and InterWest. The execution of these agreements takes to eight the number of such PPO agreements that the Company has now entered into which, collectively, increases the cumulative total number of covered lives for which its BREVAGen™ risk assessment test could be adjudicated as “in-network” to more than 102 million.

As described above, the positive impact of this increased credentialing activity has been clearly demonstrated in reviewing reimbursement payments received in respect of the BREVAGen™ test since its launch. The average reimbursement received in respect of claims that were adjudicated as “in-network” was significantly higher than the amounts received in respect of claims that were adjudicated as “out of network”, with the time taken to collect the funds also being materially shorter.

Once BREVAGen™ sample volumes reach a significant level and Genetic Technologies has gathered the necessary clinical utility data, the Company will approach insurers directly to contract.

Credentialing contracts have now been executed between the Company and InterWest, FedMed Inc., MultiPlan Network, Three Rivers Provider Network, Prime Health Services, National Preferred Provider Network / PlanCare America / Ohio Preferred Provider Network LLC (NPPN / OPPN), Galaxy Health Network and Fortified Provider Network.

During the year, the number of full time Regional Business Managers employed in the Phenogen sales team was expanded to eleven, several of whom having been appointed to service the two new US states for which the Company has now received clearance to sell the BREVAGen™ test. Appointments of a Medical Director and a Marketing Director have been made during 2013 which have already proven instrumental in reaching physicians and key decision makers in clinics.

Now in its second year of launch, the total number of BREVAGen™ test samples received by the Company was 1,547, representing an increase of more than 272% over the previous year. Using a cash, rather than accruals, basis for recording the revenue from the sales of the test (as explained in Note 2(a) of the attached financial statements), the Company generated total revenues of $329,511 during the 2013 financial year, representing an increase of more than 690% over the previous year. Month-on-month test sample figures continue to trend upwards, with a record month of activity having been recorded in July 2013.

Publication of further validation study supporting BREVAGen™

On 24 June 2013, the Company noted with interest the online publication of a study entitled “Using SNP genotypes to improve the discrimination of a simple breast cancer risk prediction model” in Breast Cancer Research & Treatment (Dite GS, Mahmoodie M, Bickerstaffe A et al.; Vol. 139; June 2013).

This independent study investigated the impact of the seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) used in the Company’s BREVAGen™ test on the predictive accuracy of the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (Gail Model) (“BCRAT”). The seven SNPs had previously been studied by Mealiffe et al. (J Natl Cancer Inst 102 (21):1618-1627), in an older cohort of cases and controls from the Women’s Health Initiative clinical trial in the USA. The new Australian study supports the previous observation of Mealiffe et al. that including information on seven SNPs associated with breast cancer risk improves the discriminatory accuracy of BCRAT, and extends that observation to pre-menopausal women aged 35 to 49 years.

Genetic Technologies is now actively progressing a research program with leading international academic collaborators to confirm these observations in other ethnic populations and to incorporate the full portfolio of currently known common breast cancer susceptibility variants into the BREVAGen™ test.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEAR (cont.)

Australian heritage businesses

The 2013 financial results for the Company’s Australian genetic testing businesses exceeded budget expectations. These well-established “heritage” businesses, which comprise the provision of a wide range of medical, paternity, forensic and animal genetic tests, continued to maintain dominant positions in a number of their respective markets, despite some considerable price competition from several major competitors.

Licensing

On 26 May 2011, the Company announced that it had filed a third patent infringement law suit in the US, in the US District Court for the District of Colorado, asserting infringement of its primary non-coding patent against various parties. Since then, Settlement and License Agreements have been executed with Navigenics Inc., Hologic Inc., Eurofins STA Laboratories Inc., GeneSeek Inc. and 454 Life Sciences Corporation (and its affiliates). Settlement discussions with other parties to the suit are progressing.

During the 2013 financial year, the Company announced that it had executed agreements with the following parties:

PreventionGenetics LLC

Genetics & IVF Institute Inc.

Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (“LabCorp”)

Reproductive Genetics Institute Inc.

The execution of these four agreements demonstrates the ongoing activity of the Company’s out-licensing program and its recent successes.

During the year, the Company also filed further law suits against Natera Inc., HistoGenetics LLC, and General Genetics Corporation, and discussions with these entities are now being pursued. The Company’s US attorneys, Sheridan Ross PC, are also preparing additional suits, to be filed when appropriate.

In addition to the licenses granted as part of the Company’s formal assertion program as detailed above, aside from the US law suits, the Company itself is actively pursuing licenses in respect of its non-coding technology in the US and other jurisdictions, principally in Europe. On 24 June 2013, the Company reported that it had settled its dispute with Bioscientia Institute for Medical Diagnostics, based in Ingelheim, Germany, and accordingly, the law suit filed by GTG against Bioscientia was withdrawn. Additionally, the Company’s Dutch attorneys, AKD, based in Breda, The Netherlands, have initiated a first action under Dutch Law, a so-called “Preliminary Witness Examination”, against Hendrix Genetics BV, based in Boxmeer, The Netherlands.

On 15 March 2013, the Company announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) had issued an action reaffirming the validity of certain claims contained in the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 5,612,179 (the ‘179 patent) directed to non-coding deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This re-examination arose from a request for ex parte re-examination of claims 1-18 and 26-32 of the ‘179 patent based upon a submission by Merial L.L.C. of Duluth, Georgia (“Merial”). Merial is currently a defendant in an action originally brought by the Company in Colorado, USA for infringement of the ‘179 patent. That action currently is pending in Delaware Federal District Court. In its formal notification to the Company, the USPTO stated that “claims 1-18 and 26-32 of the ‘179 patent are confirmed and claims 19-25 and 33-36 are not reexamined”.

On 19 April 2013, the Company advised that the USPTO had received a further request from Merial for a second ex parte re-examination of the ‘179 patent and that the request had been granted. As was the case in all previous challenges, GTG will actively defend this matter in order to have the patent upheld.

Other assets

As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on the expansion of its cancer diagnostic franchise, work continues to out-license, co-develop or partner other technologies in which the Group has an interest.

· ImmunAid™

Following its first capital raising in April 2012, the Company’s former subsidiary ImmunAid Limited (“ImmunAid”) continues to advance collaborations for the development of its unique “on/off” technology which is based around a novel approach to cancer therapy by the timely reversal of immune system suppression. Further work is also being undertaken to expand ImmunAid’s patent portfolio. GTG retains a 45% direct equity interest in ImmunAid.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEAR (cont.)

Other assets (cont.)

· RareCellect™

Discussions with companies interested in pursuing potential commercial collaborations are continuing, with some progressing with due diligence on the RareCellect™ data and samples.

· Gtech International Resources Limited

On 29 July 2013, the Company advised that its Canadian-listed subsidiary, Gtech International Resources Limited (“Gtech”), had executed a Scheme Merger Agreement with Sydney-based company Simavita Holdings Limited (“Simavita”). Pursuant to the scheme that is covered by the Agreement (which is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both Gtech and Simavita), Gtech will convene a meeting of its shareholders to approve Gtech issuing new shares to the Simavita shareholders to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Simavita (the “Merger”). The Merger is to be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement under the Australian Corporations Act.

Genetic Technologies Limited currently holds a 75.8% direct equity interest in Gtech and further details of the proposed transaction can be found at www.gtechinternational.com

Corporate matters

On 18 October 2012, the Company released its 2012 Australian Annual Report to the Market. On the same day, it also released the Notice for its 2012 Annual General Meeting which was held at 11.00 am on Tuesday, 27 November 2012 in the “Treetops” Room at Melbourne Museum. Immediately following the AGM, former Directors, Dr. Melvyn Bridges, Mr. Greg Brown and Mr. Huw Jones left the Board. In addition, at the same time, former Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Paul MacLeman and former VP Legal and Corporate Development, Dr. David Sparling, resigned from the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2013

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The Preliminary Financial Report of Genetic Technologies Limited (the “Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2013 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors dated 30 August 2013. Genetic Technologies Limited is incorporated in Australia and is a company limited by shares. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

The Company’s ordinary shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under the symbol GTG and, via Level II American Depositary Receipts, on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker GENE.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose Preliminary Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRS

The Preliminary Financial Report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are critical to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.

Revenue from the sale of the BREVAGen™ test

During the financial year ended 30 June 2012, the Company generated the first sales of its BREVAGen™ test. Whilst not material to the overall result, in accordance with revenue recognition principles, due to the relatively limited numbers of tests sold in that first year of launch, the income generated from these sales was recorded on a cash basis. Effective 1 January 2013, significant changes in the US reimbursement system have impacted (positively) on the amounts the Company has since received for the BREVAGen™ tests it performs. However, given the relatively short period of time since this change, a reliable estimate of the amount of revenue expected to be received in respect of each BREVAGen™ test cannot yet be made in accordance with AASB 118 Revenue (IAS 18). Accordingly, the sales received during the financial year ended 30 June 2013 were also recorded on a cash basis.

Going concern

During the financial year, the Company incurred a total comprehensive loss after income tax of $9,323,063 (2012: $5,303,942) and net cash outflows from operations of $7,516,779 (2012: $7,674,714). As at 30 June 2013, the Company held cash reserves of $1,721,293.

The continuing viability of the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as they fall due are dependent upon the consolidated entity being successful in one or more of the following events:

· Fundraising from the issue of further new shares in the Company and/or the sale of non-core or surplus assets;

· The possible raising of debt funds via the issue of a US$5 million convertible note (subject to shareholder approval);

· Increased sales of genetic tests, including the BREVAGenTM test in the USA and potentially Europe;

· Generation of additional funds from the granting of further “non-coding” licenses as part of the Company’s out-licensing and assertion programs, and;

· Cost containment strategies which are currently in progress.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(a) Basis of preparation (cont.)

Going concern (cont.)

As a result of these matters, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Directors believe that the Company will be successful in the above matters and also note that, subsequent to balance date, the Company raised an amount of $3,000,000 via the placement of 41,666,667 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.072 per share and that a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) had commenced that seeks to raise a further $3,000,000. This SPP has been partially underwritten to an amount of $1,800,000. Accordingly, the Director’s have prepared the preliminary financial report on a going concern basis.

(b) New accounting standards and interpretations

In respect of the year ended 30 June 2013, the Group has assessed all new accounting standards mandatory for adoption during the current year, noting no new standards which would have a material affect on the disclosure in these financial statements. There has been no effect on the profit and loss or the financial position of the Group. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2013 reporting periods.

The Group’s and the parent entity’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

· IFRS 9 / (AASB 9) Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) and AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015)

IFRS 9 / (AASB 9) Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2015 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular the Group’s accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets, since IFRS 9 / (AASB 9) only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss. There will be no impact on the Group’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss and the Group does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from IAS 39 / (AASB 139) Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The Group has not yet decided when to adopt IFRS 9 / (AASB 9).

· IFRS 10 / (AASB 10) Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 / (AASB 11) Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 / (AASB 12) Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, revised IAS 27 / (AASB) 127 Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28 / (AASB 128) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards and AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transition guidance and other Amendments (effective 1 January 2013)

In August 2011, the AASB issued a suite of five new and amended standards which address the accounting for joint arrangements, consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.

AASB 10 replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in IAS7 / AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and Interpretation 12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. The core principle that a consolidated entity presents a parent and its subsidiaries as if they are a single economic entity remains unchanged, as do the mechanics of consolidation. However, the standard introduces a single definition of control that applies to all entities. It focuses on the need to have both power and rights or exposure to variable returns before control is present. Power is the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns. Returns must vary and can be positive, negative or both. There is also new guidance on participating and protective rights and on agent/principal relationships. The Group is still evaluating the effect the new standard will have on its composition.

IFRS 12 / (AASB 12) sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under the two new standards, IFRS 10 / (AASB 10) and IFRS 11 / (AASB 11), and replaces the disclosure requirements currently found in IAS 28 / (AASB 128). Application of this standard by the Group will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the Group’s investments.

Amendments to IAS 28 / (AASB 128) provide clarification that an entity continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure its retained interest as part of ownership changes where a joint venture becomes an associate, and vice versa. The amendments also introduce a “partial disposal” concept. As the Group is not party to any joint arrangements, this standard will not have any impact on its financial statements. The Group will adopt the new standards before their operative date and would therefore be applied in the financial statements for the reporting period ending 30 June 2014.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(b) New accounting standards and interpretations (cont.)

· IFRS 13 / (AASB 13) Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13(effective 1 January 2013)

IFRS 13 / (AASB 13) was released in September 2011. It explains how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. The Group does not use fair value measurements extensively. It is therefore unlikely that the new rules will have a significant impact on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, application of the new standard will impact the type of information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Group will adopt the new standard before its operative date, which means that it would be first applied in the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2014.

· AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 July 2013)

In July 2011, the AASB decided to remove the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosure requirements from AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures, to achieve consistency with the international equivalent standard and remove a duplication of the requirements with the Corporations Act 2001. While this will reduce the disclosures that are currently required in the notes to the financial statements, it will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The amendments apply from 1 July 2013 and cannot be adopted early. The Corporations Act requirements in relation to remuneration reports will remain unchanged for now, but these requirements are currently subject to review and may also be revised in the near future.

· Improvements to IFRS (2009-2011 project cycle) / (AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 cycle) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

In June 2012, the AASB approved a number of amendments to Australian Accounting Standards as a result of the 2009-2011 annual improvements project. The Group will apply the amendments from 1 July 2013. The Group does not expect that any adjustments will be necessary as the result of applying the revised rules.

· Revised IAS 19 / (AASB 119) Employee Benefits, AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) and AASB 2011-11 Amendments to AASB 119 (September 2011) arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 January 2013)

In June 2011 (AASB: September 2011), the IAS / (AASB) released a revised standard on accounting for employee benefits. It requires the recognition of all remeasurements of defined benefit liabilities/assets immediately in other comprehensive income (removal of the so-called “corridor” method) and the calculation of a net interest expense or income by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. This replaces the expected return on plan assets that is currently included in profit or loss. The standard also introduces a number of additional disclosures for defined benefit liabilities/assets and could affect the timing of the recognition of termination benefits. The amendments will have to be implemented retrospectively. The Group is still evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements. The Group will adopt the new standard when it becomes operative, being from 1 July 2013.

· AASB 2012-3 Amendments to AASB 136 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (effective 1 January 2014)

The AASB has made small changes to some of the disclosures that are required under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. These may result in additional disclosures if the Group recognises an impairment loss or the reversal of an impairment loss during the period. They will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The Group intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2014.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

(c) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Genetic Technologies Limited (the “Company” or “Parent Entity”) as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Genetic Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this Financial Report as the “Group” or the “Consolidated Entity”.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(c) Principles of consolidation (cont.)

Subsidiaries (cont.)

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains / losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the Group’s policies. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of changes in equity, respectively.

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at fair market value. The Group’s investment in associates is detailed in Note 34.

The Group’s share of its associate’s post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Changes in ownership interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Genetic Technologies Limited.

When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

(d) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

(e) Foreign currency translation

The functional and presentation currency of Genetic Technologies Limited and its Australian subsidiaries is the Australian dollar (AUD). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the statement of comprehensive income.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(e) Foreign currency translation (cont.)

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate ruling at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates ruling at the date when the fair value was determined. The functional currencies of the Company’s five overseas subsidiaries are as follows:

Gtech International Resources Limited — Canadian dollars (CAD)

Genetic Technologies (Beijing) Limited — Chinese yuan (CNY)

GeneType AG — Swiss francs (CHF)

GeneType Corporation — United States dollars (USD)

Phenogen Sciences Inc. — United States dollars (USD)

As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Genetic Technologies Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the statement of comprehensive income is translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. The exchange differences arising on the retranslation are taken directly to a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(f) Earnings per share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted EPS adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic EPS to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(g) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Genetic Technologies Limited, as disclosed in Note 35, has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except that investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Genetic Technologies Limited. Loans to subsidiaries are written down to their recoverable value as at balance date.

(h) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenues can be reliably measured. Revenues are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of the amounts of Goods and Services Tax. The following recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Revenue from the sale of the BREVAGen™ test

Refer Note 2(a) for details of the policy being adopted by the Group in relation to the recognition of revenue from the sale of the Company’s BREVAGen™ test.

Rendering of services

Revenues from the rendering of services are recognised when the services are provided and the fee for the services provided is recoverable. Service arrangements are of short duration (in most cases less than three months).

License fees received

The Company licenses the use of its patented genetic technologies. License fee income is recorded on the execution of a binding agreement where the Group has no future obligations, it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The Group does not grant refunds to its customers. Refer also to Note 2(x).

Royalties and annuities received

Royalties and annuities arising from the above licenses are recognised when earned in accordance with the substance of the agreement, in cases where no future performance is required by the Company and collection is reasonably assured.

Interest received

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method. Interest charged on loans to related parties is charged on commercial and arm’s-length terms and conditions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(i) Share-based payment transactions

The Group provides benefits to Group employees in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services and receive rights over shares (“equity-settled transactions”). There is currently an Employee Option Plan in place to provide these benefits to executives and employees and the cost of these transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date they are granted.

The fair value of options granted is determined by Cape Leveque Securities Pty. Ltd., an independent valuer, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Cape Leveque Securities Pty. Ltd. has consented to having its name included in this Report. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any non-market performance conditions. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the relevant vesting conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date the relevant employees become entitled to the award (“vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best information available at balance date.

The Group uses non-market vesting conditions for its share-based payment transactions and no cumulative expense is recognised for any awards that do not ultimately vest. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as at the date of modification. Where appropriate, the dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company’s policy is to treat the options of terminated employees as forfeitures.

(j) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Tax consolidation legislation

Genetic Technologies Limited (“GTG”) and its wholly-owned Australian-resident subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, GTG, and the subsidiaries in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, GTG also recognises the current tax assets / liabilities and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits assumed from subsidiaries in the tax consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Details about the tax funding agreement are disclosed in Note 10. Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreements are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax subsidiaries.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(k) Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) except where the GST incurred on a 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 receivables and 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 receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from / payable to the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

(l) Withholding tax

The Group generates revenues from the granting of licenses to parties resident in overseas countries. Such revenues may, in certain circumstances, be subject to the deduction of local withholding tax. In such cases, revenues are recorded net of any withholding tax deducted.

(m) Finance costs

Finance costs are recognised using the effective interest rate method.

(n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of six months or less. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term deposits are made for varying periods, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.

(o) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which are non-interest bearing and generally have terms of between 30 to 90 days, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that a receivable is impaired. Such evidence includes an assessment of the debtor’s ability and willingness to pay the amount due. The amount of the allowance/impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables and the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the relevant debtors. Details regarding interest rate and credit risk of current receivables are disclosed in Note 36.

(p) Inventories

Inventories principally comprise laboratory and other supplies and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventory costs are recognised as the purchase price of items from suppliers plus freight inwards and any applicable landing charges. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average cost.

(q) Performance bonds and deposits

Performance bonds and deposits include cash deposits held as security for the performance of certain contractual obligations.

(r) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on either a straight-line or diminishing value basis over the estimated useful life of the respective asset as follows:

Laboratory equipment — 3 to 5 years

Computer equipment — 2 to 5 years

Office equipment — 2 to 5 years

Equipment under hire purchase — 3 years

Leasehold improvements — lease term, being between 1 and 5 years

Costs relating to day-to-day servicing of any item of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The cost of replacing larger parts of some items of property, plant and equipment are capitalised when incurred and depreciated over the period until their next scheduled replacement, with the replacement parts being subsequently written off.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(s) Intangible assets

Patents

Patents held by the Group are used in the licensing, testing and research areas and are carried at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, being from 5 to 10 years. External costs incurred in filing and protecting patent applications, for which no future benefit is reasonably assured, are expensed as incurred.

Research and development costs

Costs relating to research and development activities are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate 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 future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. To date, all development costs have been expensed as incurred as their recoverability cannot be regarded as assured.

(t) Goodwill

Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following its initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than an operating segment in accordance with IFRS 8 (AASB 8) Operating Segments.

(u) Impairment of assets (other than goodwill)

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value-in-use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases, the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If so, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless it reverses a decrement previously charged to equity, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(v) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade payables and other payables generally have terms of between 30 and 60 days.

(w) Leases and hire purchase agreements

Finance leases and hire purchase agreements, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the financed item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Lease and hire purchase payments are apportioned between finance charges and a reduction of the associated liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as an expense in profit or loss. Capitalised leased assets and assets under hire purchase are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the agreement. Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(x) Deferred revenue

License revenues and annuities

License revenues received in respect of future accounting periods are deferred until the Company has fulfilled its obligations under the terms of the agreement. Where deferred revenue relates to a license agreement with a specific term but the Company has no future performance obligations, the revenue is recognised on a straight-line accruals basis over the term in accordance with the substance of the agreements. Where revenue has been deferred because the Company has future performance obligations, revenue is recognised as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied.

Where a license agreement provides for the payment of regular annuities to the Company and the licensee has the right to terminate the agreement prior to the payment of those annuities with no penalty, the Company does not recognise revenue until such time as the associated cash payments are received, as it is not considered probable that the benefits of the transaction will flow to the Company until the cash collection is made. Where such annuities are paid in advance, the revenue is allocated on a pro-rata basis with the balance being reflected in the balance sheet as a deferred revenue liability.

Genetic testing revenues

The Company operates facilities which provide genetic testing services. The Company recognises revenue from the provision of these services when the services have been completed. Fees received in advance of the testing process are deferred until such time as the Company completes its performance obligations.

Grant revenues

Grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the statement of comprehensive income over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.

(y) Employee benefits

Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave. Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken during the year and are measured at rates paid or payable.

In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the market yield as at the reporting date on national government bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability, are used. Employee benefits expenses and revenues arising in respect of wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave and other leave benefits and other types of employee benefits are recognised against profits on a net basis in their respective categories.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(z) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, 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.

(aa) Contributed equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a deduction, net of tax, of the proceeds received. The Company has a share-based payment option plan under which options to subscribe for the Company’s shares have been granted to certain executives and other employees (refer Note 29).

(ab) Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. All costs relating to acquisitions are expensed as incurred.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are set out below.

Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill

The Group determines whether intangible assets, including goodwill, are impaired on at least a bi-annual basis, in accordance with the accounting policies stated in Notes 2(s) and 2(t). This process requires an estimation to be made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the respective assets are allocated.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (cont.)

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (cont.)

Carrying value of investment in ImmunAid Limited

As at 30 June 2013, the Company’s investment in its associate ImmunAid Limited (“ImmunAid”) had a carrying value in its balance sheet of $3,932,384. This investment is carried at the lower of its carrying amount and its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. As at 30 June 2013, the Company considered the net trading loss of the investment to be indicative of an impairment trigger and has tested its carrying value for impairment.

The Company has not recognised any impairment in the investment based of its assessment that, as at 30 June 2013, its fair value less costs to sell exceeds its carrying value. In April 2012, ImmunAid issued shares to new investors at a price in excess of the current per share carrying value of the investment. In addition, the Company noted that ImmunAid was recently allowed an exclusive US patent, which was positively received by the Market. Taking these events in aggregate, the Company has concluded that there is no impairment in the investment for the year ended 30 June 2013.

Income and withholding taxes

The Group is subject to income and withholding taxes in both Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current, deferred and withholding tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made (refer Notes 2(j), 2(k) and 2(l)). In addition, the Group has considered the recognition of deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority and the same subsidiary against which the unused tax losses can be utilised. However, utilisation of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped (refer Note 10).

Share-based payments transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an independent valuer using a Black-Scholes options pricing model.

Useful lives of assets

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as lease terms (for leased equipment) and patent terms (for patents). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least annually and considered against the remaining useful life and adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.

(b) Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

Research and development costs

An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate 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 future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

To date, all development costs have been expensed as incurred as their recoverability cannot be regarded as assured. In addition to the costs incurred by the Company’s research and development group, costs of clinical and other trials are also included. The costs of research and development are expensed in full in the period in which they are incurred. The Group will only capitalise its development expenses when specific milestones are met and when the Group is able to demonstrate that future economic benefits are probable.

Note: During the year ended 30 June 2012, the Group deconsolidated its former subsidiary, ImmunAid Limited (refer Note 27). As a result, the net assets and non-controlling interest of the formerly-consolidated subsidiary were derecognised from the Group at the carrying amounts on the date that control was lost. The retained equity interest has been recorded as an investment in associate in accordance with Note 2(c) at its fair value, as described in Note 3(a).

(a) The Group companies derive future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be realised;

(b) The Group companies continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and

10. INCOME TAX (cont.)

Tax consolidation legislation

Genetic Technologies Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries implemented the tax consolidation legislation as from 1 July 2003. The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in Note 2(k).

The entities in the tax consolidated group have entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the joint and several liabilities of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Genetic Technologies Limited.

The entities have also entered into a Tax Funding Agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Genetic Technologies Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Genetic Technologies Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Genetic Technologies Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the respective subsidiaries’ financial statements.

The amounts receivable or payable under the Tax Funding Agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year.

As at 30 June 2013, there are no unrecognised temporary differences associated with the Group’s investments in subsidiaries, as the Group has no liability for additional taxation should unremitted earnings be remitted (2012: $nil).

28. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified three reportable segments based on the similarity of the products produced and sold and/or the services provided, as these represent the sources of the Group’s major risks and have the greatest effect on the rates of return. The separate groups of products and services are then divided into operating businesses, the performances of which are reported to the Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Leadership Team and the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. The segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Group also separately reports the corporate headquarter function to clearly identify costs associated with that function. The corporate function is not considered to be an operating or reportable segment.

The Group’s three operating segments can be described as follows:

Operations — involves the provision of a range of genetic testing services.

Licensing — involves the out-licensing of the Group’s “non-coding” technology.

Research — involves the undertaking of a range of research and development projects in the field of genetics and related areas.

The Corporate disclosures below include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities associated with the headquarter function.

Financial risk management

In assessing the recoverability of intercompany receivables, Genetic Technologies Limited, the parent entity, raises a provision for diminution to ensure that the carrying amount of these receivables does not exceed the net tangible assets of the subsidiaries.

Contingent liabilities and commitments of the parent entity

As at the date of this Report, the parent entity had no contingent liabilities or other commitments.

36. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as credit risk, market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure the different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of foreign exchange, interest rate and aging analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is managed by the Group’s Risk Management Committee under guidance provided by the Board of Directors. The Committee identifies and evaluates financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s operating units. The Board, via its Audit Committee, provides guidance for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as credit risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents. The Group also has other financial assets and liabilities, such as trade receivables and payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The Group does not typically enter into derivative transactions, such as interest rate swaps or forward currency contracts. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk exposures, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The policies for managing each of these risks are summarised below.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2.

36. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)

Credit risk

The Group’s credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. If there is no independent rating, the Group assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings. The compliance with credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by Management. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, thereby mitigating credit risk. The maximum exposures to credit risk as at 30 June 2013 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, as indicated in the balance sheet.

Financial assets included on the balance sheet that potentially subject the Group to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. In accordance with the guidelines of the Group’s Short Term Investment Policy, the Group minimises this concentration of risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that maintain superior credit ratings in order to limit the degree of credit exposure. For banks and financial institutions, only independently-rated parties with a minimum rating of “A-1” are accepted. The Group has also established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that seek to maintain safety and liquidity. The Group does not require collateral to provide credit to its customers, however, the majority of the Group’s customers to whom credit is provided are large, reputable organisations and, as such, the risk of credit exposure is limited. The Group has not entered into any transactions that qualify as a financial derivative instrument.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. As at 30 June 2013, the balance of the Group’s provision for doubtful debts was $214,285 (2012: $88,783), out of a total net receivables balance as at that date of $328,642 (2012: $495,975) (refer Note 12). For some trade receivables, the Group may also obtain security in the form of guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letters of credit which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement.

Credit risk further arises in relation to financial guarantees given by the Group to certain parties in respect of obligations of its subsidiaries. Such guarantees are only provided in exceptional circumstances.

An analysis of the aging of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables is provided below:

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, primarily with respect to the US dollar and Canadian dollar, through financial assets and liabilities. It is the Group’s policy not to hedge these transactions as the exposure is considered to be minimal from a consolidated operations perspective. Further, as the Group incurs expenses which are payable in US dollars, the financial assets that are held in US dollars provide a natural hedge for the Group.

Foreign exchange risk arises from planned future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

The Group has a Foreign Exchange Management Policy which was developed to establish a formal framework and procedures for the efficient management of the financial risks that impact on Genetic Technologies Limited through its activities outside of Australia, predominantly in the United States. The policy governs the way in which the financial assets and liabilities of the Group that are denominated in foreign currencies are managed and any risks associated with that management are identified and addressed. Under the policy, which is updated on a regular basis as circumstances dictate, the Group generally retains in foreign currency only sufficient funds to meet the expected expenditures in that currency. Surplus funds, if any, are converted into Australian dollars as soon as practicable after receipt.

As at 30 June 2013, the Group held the following financial assets and liabilities that were denominated in foreign currencies:

Consolidated	Year	USD	CAD	EUR	CNY	NZD	CHF	JPY
Financial assets
Cash at bank / on hand	2013	326,255	210,432	71,631	—	86	6,718	87,046

During the year ended 30 June 2013, the Australian dollar / US dollar exchange rate fell by 10.0%, from 1.0161 at the beginning of the year to 0.9146 at the end of the year. During the same period, Australian dollar / Canadian dollar exchange rate fell by 7.6%, from 1.0416 at the beginning of the year to 0.9627 at the end of the year.

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2013, had the Australian dollar weakened / strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group’s loss for the year would have been $45,000 lower / $37,000 higher (2012: loss $50,000 lower / loss $41,000 higher), mainly as a result of changes in the values of cash and cash equivalents which are denominated in US dollars, as detailed in the above tables.

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2013, had the Australian dollar weakened / strengthened by 10% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group’s loss for the year would have been $24,000 lower / $20,000 higher (2012: loss $28,000 lower / loss $23,000 higher), due to changes in the values of cash and cash equivalents which are denominated in Canadian dollars, as detailed in the above tables.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises in relation to its short-term deposits with various financial institutions. If rates were to decrease, the Group may generate less interest revenue from such deposits. However, given the relatively short duration of such deposits, the associate risk is relatively minimal. The Group also has various hire purchase liabilities with fixed interest rates. While these rates do not vary once the contract has been executed, the Group may be subject to interest rate movements if it were to acquire additional assets via similar contracts in the future.

The Group has a Short Term Investment Policy which was developed to manage the Group’s surplus cash and cash equivalents. In this context, the Group adopts a prudent approach that is tailored to cash forecasts rather than seeking high returns that may compromise access to funds as and when they are required. Under the policy, the Group deposits its surplus cash in a range of deposits / securities over different time frames and with different institutions in order to diversify its portfolio and minimise risk.

On a monthly basis, Management provides the Board with a detailed list of all cash and cash equivalents, showing the periods over which the cash has been deposited, the name and credit rating of the institution holding the deposit and the interest rate at which the funds have been deposited. A comparison of interest rate movements from month to month and a variance to an 11am deposit rate is also provided.

At 30 June 2013, if interest rates had changed by +/- 50 basis points from the year-end rates, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s loss for the year would have been $6,000 lower / higher (2012: loss $42,000 lower / higher), as a result of higher / lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents. Consolidated equity for the Group would have been $6,000 higher / lower (2012: $42,000 higher / lower) mainly as a result of an increase / decrease in the fair value of cash and cash equivalents.

The exposure to interest rate risks and the effective interest rates of financial assets and liabilities, both recognised and unrealised, for the Group is as follows:

				Carrying	Weighted ave.		Ave. maturity period
Consolidated	Year	Floating rate	Fixed rate	amount	effective rate		days

Notes: All periods in respect of financial assets are for less than one year.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities, such as its hire purchase and credit card facilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and, wherever possible, matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Management aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. Surplus funds are generally only invested in instruments that are tradeable in highly liquid markets.
