Annual Report

Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer's letter

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of Genetic Technologies Limited (GTG or the Company), the Company is pleased to present this year’s Annual Report.

A new beginning

In September 2019, the Company saw a significant change in Board and Management which enabled GTG to refocus. The Company remains committed to its mission of being a global leader in the development and sales of a comprehensive range of genomic risk assessment tests.

To meet the Company's dual NASDAQ and ASX Listing requirements of a minimum US$2.5m shareholder equity, the Board actively participated in the first of a series of capital raises both in Australia and then supported our USA Bankers H.C. Wainwright & Co. As a result of the strong interest in the Company from local and USA institutional investors, the Company now has approximately $21.7m of funds to allow the Company to deliver on what has always been a promising technology platform.

The Company's COVID-19 risk severity test is in its final stages of development and, in combination with its existing tests and pipeline to be incorporated on the Company's online Consumer Initiated Testing (CIT) platform, will provide the opportunity to generate significant sales and associated revenues in the future.

The Company has made significant investments in new staff, branding initiatives, equipment and product development and in-licencing which provides an exciting opportunity for the future of the Company, the benefits of which will start to be seen over FY21.

Product, COVID-19 and the Company's vision from its interim CEO, Dr Muchnicki

The Company's proprietary technologies allow for better management of the most serious medical challenges that are responsible for more than 60% of mortality in Western society. However the COVID-19 pandemic has created a unique “one in a hundred” year dilemma which has changed our lives and our medical priorities.

The pandemic has had the following impact on the Company's operations:

The Company's sales team has not had direct access to doctors;
The medical system is overwhelmed with pandemic related challenges; and
The public is not focused on chronic disease management, due to the uncertainty associated with the pandemic.

Genetic Technologies has had to review its operations in light of the pandemic.

The Company has decided to take advantage of the shutdown to transform its product range, as well as the Company's approach to sales and marketing through:

Establishing consumer initiated testing platforms to target the consumer directly;
Seeking to market products to both consumers and the medical profession;
Commencing the creation of multi-test kits which will allow for risk testing five or more diseases in one kit; and
Planning for the establishment of new divisions within the Company to better manage new products.

The new divisions will include Oncology, Cardiovascular, Metabolic, Mental health and Wellness.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer's letter (continued)

The Company, importantly, has acquired new equipment which will allow for the establishment of comprehensive genetic risk tests which will combine monogenic and polygenic testing under a single banner of genetic risk stratification, covering 100% of a person’s genetic risk. This new equipment will also allow multitesting for multiple disease risks with the Company's new arrays capable of studying up to 650,000 individual SNP at any one time. The new equipment will also allow the Company to enter the medical rebate testing space with tests for monogenic mutations and cancer sequencing attracting a rebate both in the US and Australia.

With the increased interest in genetic testing, there are a large number of small companies entering the risk stratification space. The Company is committed to outcomes, rather than just products - thus the Company is now actively looking to incorporate quality market ready genetic tests developed by credentialed groups to include on its CIT platforms.

The introduction of a wellness division is an important service that increases the Company's involvement with its patients and introduces a service that will focus on day-to-day issues, rather than longevity alone, hence the Company's new position statement .........

“live longer feel better”

Yours sincerely,

Successful capital raising of US$11.24m also restores NASDAQ compliance

Despite the uncertain economic climate around COVID-19, the Company successfully raised US$11.24m before costs during the June quarter through bankers H.C. Wainwright & Co in the USA. The fund-raising allowed the Company to meet all requirements to maintain its NASDAQ listing.

Net proceeds will support the introduction and distribution of the Company’s new products in the USA, and general product research, development, and reimbursement studies for polygenic risk tests with Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in the USA. They will also fund implementation of the Company’s consumer-initiated testing platforms and preparation for the Company’s COVID-19 severity risk test.

Temporary transition to high-throughput COVID-19 testing

The Company developed a detailed implementation plan to allow a temporary transition of the Company’s genetic testing laboratory to a high-throughput COVID-19 test centre, should government agencies need it to assist with demand. The Company has begun the initial work to identify laboratory workflows, instrument modification, and laboratory compliance for biologics and contaminated materials handling. The Company has also confirmed a secure supply chain of test reagents.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

Directors’ report (continued)

Disease severity test prototype development

The Company is developing a polygenic risk score (PRS) test for COVID-19, which may enable an assessment of the risk of people developing a serious disease should they contract the virus. The test aims to predict disease severity using a combination of genetic and clinical information.

Working prototype developed based on about 1,500 patients
Options for clinical risk model currently under evaluation
Discussions continue with several international biobanks and clinical laboratories to source an independent cross-validation dataset.

The Company has built strong relationships with international biobanks and health studies, including UK Biobank. They allow the Company to secure additional, current COVID-19 patient data to continuously develop, refine, and validate the COVID-19 risk test.

Implementation

The Company has ordered its first single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array panel from US-based Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a world leader in genetic testing and the Company’s manufacturing partner for GeneType products.

The SNP array panel is a key reagent the Company needs to process the polygenic risk test portion of the COVID-19 risk test. The test aims to categorise subjects as being at high, average, or low risk of developing lifethreatening conditions due to COVID-19.

The Company has also confirmed capacity to scale up production for a global rollout of the COVID-19 risk test (reagent and SNP array panel) with major manufacturers, including Thermo Fisher Scientific. The product uses technical components that healthcare manufacturers already produce for other genetic-based tests. This will support the Company’s plans to accelerate production to meet expected global demand.

The Company’s Australian facilities can produce up to 250,000 tests a year. The scale-up of manufacturing will require global distribution partnerships if the COVID-19 risk test is widely adopted. In anticipation of high demand, the Company expects to make its data pack for the test available to global laboratories. Direct and indirect costs to date are approximately A$375,000.

Regulatory approval

Discussions have taken place with Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) for regulatory approval for the Company’s COVID-19 risk severity test in the US and Australia.

The Company will submit a complete technical package to the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for review and approval. Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) turnaround time for approval is expected in about 45 days from submission.
Submission of the technical file to include scientific literature, algorithm validation, laboratory wetwork validation, and laboratory procedural documentation.
NATA to provide an assessment after an internal review of the final independent data set for test validation.

Intended use

The test should give risk stratification information which may help personal and population management in two ways, to:

Guide quarantine measures on a personal, local, and national scale
Prioritise vaccination if and when a vaccine becomes available.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

Directors’ report (continued)

Intellectual property

The Company has filed a provisional patent application for its COVID-19 risk test with IP Australia (2020901739 - Methods of assessing risk of developing a severe response to Coronavirus infection). The provisional patent covers the specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) algorithm the Company designed to calculate a PRS and the testing model that combines PRS and the clinical risk factors that together constitute the COVID-19 risk test.

Consumer-initiated sales for existing pipeline

With COVID-19 social distancing impacting on the Company’s ability to fully engage with physicians, the Company has brought forward its plans to introduce a consumer-initiated testing (CIT) platform. This sales pipeline deviates from a traditional sales approach that targets clinicians. Instead it allows patients to request a test directly, with clinician oversight of the testing process through an independent provider network and telemedicine. The Company has started negotiations with its preferred independent provider network which will oversee patient ordering of the CIT pipeline. The Company has entered into binding agreements and will launch its CIT platforms in Q3, 2020.

Corporate update and presentation at Biotech Showcase, San Francisco

The Company presented its latest technology and world-leading tests at the 2020 JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in January. The presentation coincided with the successful launch of the Company’s new tests and the introduction of the Company’s new management to the US market.

US Patent Office grants key breast cancer risk test patent

In June, the Company received US Patent No: US 10,683,549, Methods for assessing risk of developing breast cancer. The Company is the first company in the world to successfully commercialise a polygenic risk test for breast cancer.

The granted patent covers the Company’s proprietary panels of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the combination of clinical and phenotypic risk models to create the most comprehensive risk assessment tool on the market: GeneType for Breast Cancer.

Renewal of NATA and CLIA-accredited laboratory status for Australian and USA markets

Following a successful Q3 Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) audit, the Company renewed its status as a fully NATA and CLIA-accredited laboratory. It places the Company in a unique position to service both the Australian and US markets subject to regulatory approvals. The Company has applied to Medicare to secure a rebate for tests carried out.

Launch of breast cancer and colorectal cancer polygenic test kits

The Company hired and trained new internal sales employees to educate doctors on the Company’s polygenic risk score (PRS) tests and introduce them to preventive health strategies.

The Company had a very positive response from doctors. Initial test results showed 10 per cent of subjects were high risk and 41 per cent were moderate risk. These results will help create personalised strategies specifically designed for the patient risk profile. Early indications show the tests lead to better screening compliance and to the development of personalized screening solutions. This confirms the Company’s objective of focusing on preventative health rather than ‘after the fact’ medicine.

Further generic risk assessment tests under development

At the same time, the Company continued to develop other risk assessment tests across a range of diseases, including:

Cardiovascular disease
Type 2 diabetes
Prostate cancer
Melanoma.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

Directors’ report (continued)

Collaboration agreement signed with the Phoenix, Arizona-based Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen)

Last September, the Company signed a three-year collaboration agreement with TGen. The agreement includes cooperation in the design feasibility analysis of clinical research studies. The analysis will support the clinical application of the Company’s polygenic risk tests and identification of appropriate clinical partners to participate in the studies.

TGen is a non-profit biomedical research institute dedicated to ground-breaking research with life-changing results. TGen works to unravel the genetic components of common and complex diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, infectious diseases, and rare childhood disorders. TGen is affiliated with Duarte, California-based City of Hope, a world-renowned independent research and treatment centre for cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening diseases.

The collaboration will focus on a clinical utility study as the first stage, working with TGen’s extensive network of cancer centre clinicians.

The wide-ranging collaboration will cover:

Distribution channels
Reimbursement strategy
Further research
Potential for the establishment of a new laboratory facility.

GTG and TGen will develop a commercialisation strategy and infrastructure for a suite of polygenic risk tests for the USA market, and set up the necessary fund-raising.

PRS on Type 2 diabetes test launch planned

The Company is finalising verification of the diabetes test in its Australian laboratory. The Company has completed its marketing collateral, and plan to launch once more normal conditions return post COVID-19.

Financial Snapshot

The additional capital raised during and since the end of the financial year puts the Company in its best financial position for approximately 2 years. The Company can expand and bring its comprehensive suite of risk assessment tests to market across both Australia and the US. The Company can also expand and upgrade the laboratory to incorporate next generation sequencing and high density SNP arrays. These will allow-for the first time-risk assessments for 100 per cent of a person’s genomic risk, including monogenic, polygenic, clinical risk factors, and family history.

The cash and cash equivalents balance as at June 30, 2020 was A$14.2M (2019: A$2.1M) and the Company incurred a loss of A$6.1M (2019: A$6.4M).

Significant changes in the state of affairs

Significant changes in the state of affairs of the group during the financial year were as follows.

On May 3, 2019, the Company received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC advising that the reported stockholders’ equity was less than the minimum specified amount of United States Dollars (US$) US$2,500,000 as at December 31, 2018. In 2019, the Company was subject to NASDAQ delisting proceedings as a result of the Company's failure to maintain the bid price of the American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) above the minimum US$1.00 per share requirement and because the Company's reported stockholders’ equity was less than the minimum specified amount of US$2,500,000 as of December 31, 2018. The Company regained compliance with NASDAQ’s Listing Rules with respect to its bid price as a result of the adjustment to the ratio of the American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) that took effect on August 15, 2019, and the Company regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement by raising gross proceeds of approximately US$3,043,000 in a rights offering completed on October 29, 2019. On November 6, 2019, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ to notify that the Company had regained compliance with the equity rule (the “Compliance Letter”).
On July 16, 2019, the Company issued 166,066,050 warrants at no cash consideration and exercisable at United States Dollars (US$) 0.00533 that were issued to underwriters along with the capital raised in May 2019. These warrants are subject to a cashless exercise arrangement under the terms of their issue. These warrants were issued as part of capital raising costs and were subsequently exercised in July 2020.
On October 11, 2019, at an issue price of A$0.004 (0.4 cents) per new ordinary share, the Company successfully raised A$4.5m from existing shareholders, together with participation from domestic institutional and family office investors. The funds raised allowed the Company to commence sales of its latest breast cancer and colorectal cancer risk assessment tests in both the United States and Australia. The Company’s strategy is to utilise its CLIA and NATA accredited laboratory to enable full vertical integration from development to the market.
On October 30, 2019, the Company issued 250,000,000 unlisted options with exercise price of $0.008 per option, expiring on October 29, 2022 to various underwriters. Additionally, on December 20, 2020, the Company issued 125,000,000 unlisted options to Dr Jerzy Muchnicki and Mr Peter Rubinstein respectively, with exercise price of $0.008 per option, expiring on December 20, 2022. All these options issued were part of costs of raising capital in October 2019.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

Directors’ report (continued)

Significant changes in the state of affairs (continued)

On March 13, 2020, the Company received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from NASDAQ indicating that the Company did not comply with the stockholders’ equity rule. The Letter indicates that Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B) does not permit an issuer that is deficient in stockholders’ equity to present a plan of compliance to the NASDAQ Staff if such issuer has failed to comply with that provision within one year of a Hearing Panel (the “Panel”) determination of compliance. The Letter states that since the Company is out of compliance with the equity rule within one year of the Compliance Letter, the Staff cannot allow the Company to submit a plan of compliance. The Company requested an appeal hearing with the Panel to review the delisting determination. Upon NASDAQ’s receipt of the hearing request by the Company, NASDAQ stayed the suspension of the Company's securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. An oral hearing took place on April 30, 2020 and in a letter dated May 12, 2020, the Panel granted the Company the full 180 day extension until September 9, 2020, to publicly disclose full compliance with the minimum shareholder equity requirement under NASDAQ rules. As of August 25, 2020, the Company has regained compliance with the equity requirement of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), as required by the Hearings Panel decision dated May 12, 2020.
On April 2, 2020, the Company closed a registered direct offering of 1,028,574 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing six hundred (600) of the Company’s ordinary shares, at a purchase price of United States Dollars (US$) US$1.75 per ADS - or in Australian dollars $0.0048 per ordinary shares. H.C Wainwright & Co acted as the placement agent for this offering. Against the offering, the Company issued 40,114,200 warrants exercisable at US$0.00365 each, expiring in 5 years from issue date, to H.C. Wainwright & Co, which formed part of cost of raising capital.
On April 22, 2020, the Company closed a registered direct offering of 722,502 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing six hundred (600) of the Company’s ordinary shares, at a purchase price of United States Dollars (US$) US$2.00 per ADS - or in Australian dollars $0.0053 per ordinary share. H.C Wainwright & Co acted as the placement agent for this offering. Against the offering, the Company issued 28,177,578 warrants exercisable at US$0.00417 each, expiring in 5 years from issue date, to H.C. Wainwright & Co, which formed part of cost of raising capital.
On May 26, 2020, the Company completed a capital raise by offering of:
(i) 3,500,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), for a purchase price of United States Dollars (US$) US$2.00 per ADS and
(ii) 500,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase one ADS (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) for a purchase price of US$1.9999 per Pre-Funded Warrant.

H.C. Wainwright & Co acted as the placement agent for this offering each representing six hundred (600) of the Company’s ordinary shares, at a purchase price of United States Dollars (US$) US$2.00 per ADS - or in Australian dollars $0.005 per ordinary share.

Against the offering, the Company agreed to issue 156,000,000 warrants exercisable at US$0.004166 each, expiring in 5 years from issue date, to H.C. Wainwright & Co. The said warrants have not yet been issued as of the date of report as they are subject to shareholder approval.

Impact of COVID-19

On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) outbreak a public health emergency of international concern and on March 12, 2020 the WHO announced the outbreak was a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a negative impact on global markets and business activity, which has had an effect on the operations of the Company, including but not limited to, that sales of the Company's products have been impacted not only by the inability for consumers to visit their practitioners but also the difficulty the Company's sales team is having in arranging face to face meetings with practitioners. The Company's sales team has found it very difficult to reach practitioners to build on the sales momentum created prior to the pandemic, thus, sales have effectively ceased for the short term.

Additionally, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has done the following:

Moved forward with the Company's Consumer Initiated Testing platform (CIT), as previously announced on April 1, 2020, which allows for consumers to directly request any of the Company’s tests online with a practitioner involved in the process via telemedicine. Once the CIT platform goes live, which is anticipated to be within the next sixty days, the Company believe it will ensure that sales will be able to recommence in the event a lockdown is maintained and it opens up another significant sales channel.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

Directors’ report (continued)

Impact of COVID-19 (continued)

Began the process of attempting to make available the Company's existing lab facilities for the conducting of COVID-19 testing via existing Polymerase Chain Reaction (or PCR) (a method of amplifying DNA prior to analysis) equipment and personnel.

Completed the development of the Company's COVID-19 risk test and have ordered the first shipment of kits which are due for delivery in the first quarter of FY2021 and would allow the Company to optimize and validate the assay as a precursor to commercial release. The Company’s objective is to produce a test that can predict “disease severity” using either genetic information alone (PRS) or a combination of genetic and clinical information. A provisional patent has been filed covering the invention. Reagents for laboratory testing have been ordered in preparation for commercial availability. Documentation for various regulatory approvals are being prepared.

Completed the design and request for initial production of the SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) panel required to process the polygenic risk test portion of the COVID-19 Severity Risk Test from US-based Thermo Fisher Scientific;

Confirmed with major manufacturers that the COVID-19 Severity Risk Test, including a reagent and SNP panel, is capable of being rolled out on a large scale;

Held discussions with Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (“NATA”) for regulatory Approval for the COVID-19 Severity Risk Test in the United States and Australia; and

These new COVID-19 related activities may provide some revenue opportunities for the Company in the short term and will assist in the development of additional tests the company is currently working on. The Company has not made significant progress to date that would lead to orders or requests to increase capacity and there is no guarantee the Company will ever receive orders or requests.

The timing and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated recovery process is unknown. The Company continues to monitor the situation and an accurate estimate of its financial effect on the Company cannot be made at this stage.

Events since the end of the financial year

On July 20, 2020, 166,066,050 warrants issued during the capital raise in May 2019 exercisable at United States Dollars (US$) US$0.00533, each expiring May 23, 2024 were exercised and converted to 114,447,000 Ordinary Shares. These warrants have no cash consideration upon conversion and is consistent with the cashless exercise arrangement under the terms of their issue.

Furthermore, 18,500,000 options issued to an underwriter exercisable at $0.008, each expiring October 29, 2022 were exercised and converted to 18,500,000 Ordinary Shares. These options were issued for a cash consideration of $148,000.

On July 21, 2020, the Company closed a registered direct offering of 1,025,000 American Depository Shares (ADS's), each representing six hundred (600) of the Company's ordinary shares, at a purchase price of United States Dollars (US$) US$5.00 per ADS - or in Australian dollars $0.012 per ordinary share. The gross proceeds for this offering was approximately US$5.1 million. Against the offering, the Company agreed to issue 39,975,000 warrants exercisable at US$0.0104 each, expiring in 5 years from issue date, to H.C. Wainwright & Co which would form part of cost of raising capital. The said warrants have not been issued as of the date of report as they are subject to shareholder approval.

As of August 25, 2020, the Company has regained compliance with the equity requirement of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), as required by the Hearings Panel decision dated May 12, 2020.

Performance hurdles

The Class A Performance Rights vest and are exercisable upon the Share price reaching $0.02 or greater for more than 10 day consecutive ASX trading days.

The Directors, being the recipients of the Performance Rights, must remained engaged by the Company at the time of satisfaction of the performance hurdle in order for the relevant Performance Right to vest.

Assessing performance

The remuneration and nomination committee is responsible for assessing performance against KPIs and determining the STI and LTI to be paid. To assist in this assessment, the committee receives data from independently run surveys.

Performance is monitored on an informal basis throughout the year and a formal evaluation is performed annually.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

(c) Elements of remuneration

(i) Fixed annual remuneration (FR)

Objective

The Remuneration Committee oversees the setting of fixed remuneration on an annual basis. The process consists of a review of Company, divisional and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The members of the Committee have access to external advice independent of Management.

Structure

Fixed remuneration consists of some or all of the following components:

base salary;
non-monetary benefits which can include a motor vehicle allowance, health insurance etc.; and
superannuation benefits, which includes employer contributions,

With the exception of the employer contributions to superannuation, Executives are given some flexibility to decide the composition of their total fixed remuneration and the allocation between cash and other benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating any additional cost for the Group.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually with reference to individual performance, market benchmarks for individual roles and the overall financial performance of the Group. Any changes to the fixed remuneration of Executives are first approved by the Remuneration Committee.

All employee remuneration is evaluated on a regular basis using a set of variables and taking into account the addition of the statutory superannuation contribution. An assessment of existing base salaries is made annually using comparisons against independent market data which provides information on salaries and other benefits paid for comparable roles within the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, using third party salary survey data. Annual performance reviews with each employee are based on a rating system which is used to assess his or her eligibility for salary increases. Other qualitative factors, including the specialised knowledge and experience of the individual and the difficulty of replacing that person, are also taken into account when considering salary adjustments.

Remuneration Committee membership

As at the date of this Report, the composition of the committee is as follows:

Dr Lindsay Wakefield - Chairman of the Committee
Mr Nicholas Burrows (Member)
Mr Peter Rubinstein (Member)
(ii) Short-term incentives

Short Term Incentive (STI) is an annual plan that applies to Executives and other senior employees that is based on the performance of both the Company and the individual during a given financial year. STI ranges vary depending on the role, responsibilities and deliverables achieved by each individual. Actual STI payments granted to the relevant employee will depend on the extent to which the pre-agreed specific targets are met within a financial year. Specific targets are quantifiable with the agreed method of measurement defined at the beginning of the financial year. The ongoing performance of the Executive or senior employee is evaluated regularly during the performance cycle.

Group objectives, and their relative weighting, vary depending on the position and responsibility of the respective individual, but in respect of the year ended June 30, 2020 include, amongst other things, the achievement of:

achieving targets for cost reduction or efficiency gains;
contributing to business growth and expansion; and
performance or the delivery of results which exceed agreed targets.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

These measures are chosen as they represent the key drivers for the short term success of the business and provide a framework for delivering long term value. Personal and operating objectives vary according to the role and responsibility of the Executive and include objectives such as service delivery to customers, project delivery, compliance outcomes, intellectual property management and various staff management and leadership objectives.

Achievement of an individual’s targets or objectives is documented and assessed by both the individual and his or her direct manager. The individual will participate in an annual performance review and must provide evidence of the objectives that he or she has delivered during the period under review. Each objective is then rated on an achievement scale. Depending on the aggregate of the ratings, the individual may be eligible to receive an STI payment.

STI payments, if any, are generally paid in August or September of each year subject to the completion of the performance review process and the receipt of a satisfactory rating. The Board conducts this process in the case of the CEO. During the financial year ended June 30, 2020, no Short Term Incentive payments were made to either Executives or other senior employees.

(iii) Long-term incentives

The objective of the Group’s LTI arrangements is to reward Executives and senior employees in a manner that aligns their remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such, significant LTI grants are generally only made to Executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and have an impact on the Group’s long term profitability. There are no specific performance hurdles, apart from certain vesting provisions, in respect of the LTI grants made to Executives. Options with a vesting period also serve as a retention tool and may reduce the likelihood of high performing Executives and senior employees being targeted by other companies.

Long Term Incentive (LTI) grants to Executives and senior employees are delivered in the form of options over unissued ordinary shares in the Company which are granted under the terms and conditions of the Company’s Employee Option Plan. Selected Executives who contribute significantly to the long term profitability of the Company are invited to participate in the Employee Option Plan. The remuneration value of these grants varies and is determined with reference to the nature of the individual’s role, as well as his or her individual potential and specific performance.

During the year ended June 30, 2020, a net share-based payments expense of $14,442 (2019: $335,102) was incurred by the Company in respect of all options and Performance Rights which had previously been granted to Executives and other senior employees.

In cases where an Executive ceases employment prior to the vesting of his or her options, the options are forfeited after a prescribed period if they have not been exercised. The prescribed period ranges from two to six months, depending on the circumstances under which they left the Company, e.g. resignation, retirement, termination or death. In the event of a change of control of the Company, the performance period end date will be brought forward to the date of the change of control and awards will vest over this shortened period.

(d) Link between remuneration and performance Statutory performance indicators

The Company aims to align executive remuneration to the Company's strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder wealth. The table below shows measures of the group's financial performance over the last five years as required by the Corporations Act 2001. However, these are not necessarily consistent with the measures used in determining the variable amounts of remuneration to be awarded to KMPs. As a consequence, there may not always be a direct correlation between the statutory key performance measures and the variable remuneration awarded.

	2020	2019	2018	2017	2016
Loss for the year

Share price at year end ($)	0.005	0.006	0.010	0.007	0.019

The Company's earnings have remained negative since inception due to the nature of the business. Shareholder wealth reflects this speculative and volatile market sector. No dividends have ever been declared by the Company. The Company continues to focus on the research and development of its intellectual property portfolio with the objective of achieving key development and commercial milestones in order to add further shareholder value.

Mr Phillip Hains was appointed on July 15, 2019 as the group's Chief Financial Officer. During the year ended June 30, 2020, he does not earn any remuneration apart from the provision of advice on the capacity as the CFO, accounting and other finance related activities through his firm, The CFO Solution. During the reporting period, the total service fees of $527,724 (2019: $45,459) were paid.

During the financial year ended June 30, 2020, the board approved to obtain consulting services in relation to capital raises, compliance, NASDAQ hearings and investor relations from its Non-executive director and current Chairman, Mr Peter Rubinstein. The services procured were through Mr Peter Rubinstein's associate entity, ValueAdmin.com Pty Ltd, and amounted to $35,000 which remains payable and is included as part of the cash salary and fees above as at June 30, 2020.

During the financial year ended June 30, 2020, the board members sacrificed 20% of their fees for a certain period in order to support the staff costs during the COVID-19 cutback on working hours. Due to this there is a variance between the above disclosed and the contractual arrangement disclosures.

Annual Report

Valuation of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights are not currently quoted on the ASX and as such have no ready market value. The Performance Rights each grant the holder a right of grant of one ordinary Share in the Company upon vesting of the Performance Rights for nil consideration. Accordingly, the Performance Rights may have a present value at the date of their grant. Various factors impact upon the value of Performance Rights including:

the period outstanding before the expiry date of the Performance Rights;
the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted;
the proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares (i.e. whether or not the shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the options represent a controlling or other significant interest); and
the value of the shares into which the Performance Rights may be converted.

There are various formulae which can be applied to determining the theoretical value of options (including the formula known as the Black-Scholes Model valuation formula and the Monte Carlo simulation).

The Company has commissioned an independent valuation of the Performance Rights. The independent valuer has applied the Monte Carlo simulation in providing the valuation of the Performance Rights.

Inherent in the application of the Monte Carlo simulation are a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed. The data relied upon in applying the Monte Carlo simulation was:

a) exercise price being 0.0 cents per Performance Right for all classes;
b) VWAP hurdle (10 days consecutive share price hurdle) equaling $0.02 for Class A and Class B and 3.3 cents for Class C Performance Rights;
c) the continuously compounded risk free rate being 2.02% for all classes of Performance Rights (calculated with reference to the RBA quoted Commonwealth Government bonds as at October 8, 2018 of similar duration to that of the expected life of each class of Performance Rights);
d) the expected option life of 2.8 years for all classes of Performance Rights; and
e) a volatility measure of 80%.

Based on the independent valuation of the Performance Rights, the Company agrees that the total value of the Performance Rights to be issued to each director (excluding those that have been forfeited) is as follows:

Valuation of Class A Performance Rights:

	Number of Performance	Valuation per	Total fair value of Class
	Rights issued	Class A (cents)	A Performance Rights
Dr Lindsay Wakefield	3,750,000	0.77	$28,875
Dr George Muchnicki	6,250,000	0.77	$48,125
Mr Peter Rubinstein	5,000,000	0.77	$38,500

Annual Report

1 Going Concern

For the year ending June 30, 2020, the Group incurred a total comprehensive loss of $6,132,105 (2019: $6,401,936) and net cash outflow from operations of $5,712,098 (2019: $6,073,182). As at June 30, 2020 the Group held total cash and cash equivalents of $14,214,160 and total net current assets of $13,795,177.

The Company expects to continue to incur losses and cash outflows for the foreseeable future as it continues to invest resources in expanding the research and development activities in support of the distribution of existing and new products. Following successful capital raises in the last three months of the financial year, the Company has $14.2 million cash and cash equivalents as at June 30, 2020. In the Director’s opinion this, together with a further gross proceeds of US$5.1 million before transaction costs raised in July 2020, will underpin the Company’s funding requirements for approximately two years. As a result the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

(i) Fair value of R&D tax incentive

The group's research and development activities are eligible under an Australian government tax incentive for eligible expenditure. Management has assessed these activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. Amounts are recognised when it has been established that the conditions of the tax incentive have been met and that the expected amount can be reliably measured. For the year ended June 30, 2020, the group has included an item in other income of $750,000 (2019: $856,707) to recognise income over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

On December 5, 2019, the Treasury Laws Amendment (R&D Tax Incentive Bill 2019) was introduced into Parliament. The draft bill contains proposed amendments to the R&D tax incentive regulations. Under the proposed amendments, the refundable tax offset rate for companies with an aggregated turnover of less than $20 million would become 41%. As at June 30, 2020, the bill remains under review by the Senate Committee.

In accordance with AASB 120, government grants, including non-monetary grants at fair value, should not be recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Management does not consider the rate reduction to be substantially enacted as at June 30, 2020 due to the continued legislative debate in Parliament. The Group has therefore calculated the R&D tax incentive by applying the currently legislated R&D rate to eligible expenditure.

(i) Classification as trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(ii) Other receivables

These amounts primarily comprise amounts receivable from the Australian Taxation Office in relation to the R&D tax incentive.

(iii) Fair value of trade and other receivables

Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

Trade payables are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

The carrying amounts of trade and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

Accruals include R&D incentive claim costs, review of internal financial control costs and income tax return costs.

Other financial liabilities relates to warrants issued and to be issued to H.C. Wainwright & Co during capital raises in April and May 2020. The US warrants represent a written option to exchange a fixed number of the Group's own equity instruments for a fixed amount of cash that is denominated in a foreign currency (US dollars) and is classified as a derivative financial liability in accordance with AASB 9. The initial recognition of the warrants amounted to $1,173,082. As of June 30, 2020, the warrants have been revalued to $977,237, and resulted in $195,845 recognised in profit and loss. Since the Company is expected to be in a loss making position, the expectation of the Company is that the warrants are unlikely to be exercised in the next 12 months and hence have been classified under non-current liabilities.

All US warrants represent a written option to exchange a fixed number of the Group's own equity instruments for a fixed amount of cash that is denominated in a foreign currency (US dollars) and is classified as a derivative financial liability in accordance with AASB 9. The US warrants liability is initially recorded at fair value at issue date and subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting date. The warrants granted are not traded in an active market and fall under the level 2 hierarchy of the requirements for disclosure of the fair value measurements. The fair value has thus been estimated by using the Binomial pricing model based on the following assumptions based on observable market conditions that existed at the issue date and at June 30, 2020.

(f) Recognised fair value measurements

(i) Fair value hierarchy

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company has written off its fully depreciated assets in plant and equipment of $1,596,487; furniture, fittings and equipment of $139,768; and leasehold improvements of $464,956, from their respective costs and accumulated depreciation. The Company has received proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment amounted to $37,000 in current year.

7 Non-financial assets and liabilities (continued)

(a) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

(i) Depreciation methods and useful lives

Property, plant and equipment is recognised at historical cost less depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows:

Plant and equipment 3 - 5 years
Furniture, fittings and equipment 3 - 5 years
Leasehold improvements 1 - 3 years (lease term)

	432,933 1,927 434,860 487,682 809 488,491

(ii) Leave obligations

The leave obligations cover the group’s liabilities for long service leave and annual leave which are classified as either other long-term benefits or short-term benefits, as explained in note 23(p).

The current portion of this liability includes all of the accrued annual leave, the unconditional entitlements to long service leave where employees have completed the required period of service and also for those employees that are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount of the provision of $432,933 (2019: $487,682) is presented as current, since the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

During the financial year ended June 30, 2020, the total cash outflow was $221,282.

(c) The group's leasing activities and how these leases are accounted for

The group has adopted AASB 16 Leases during the year ended June 30, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The modified approach does not require restatement of comparative periods. Instead the cumulative impact of applying AASB 16 is accounted for as an adjustment to equity at the start of the current accounting period in which it is first applied, known as the 'date of initial application'. Refer to Note 23(a) for the impact on adoption.

For any new contracts entered into on or after July 1, 2019, the group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ‘a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration’. To apply this definition the group assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:

the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Company,
the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract,
the Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company assess whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable,
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees,
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the group’s incremental borrowing rate.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received,
any initial direct costs, and
restoration costs.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

8 Leased Liabilities (continued)

(d) COVID-19 Impact on Leases

On June 25, 2020, the Company obtained a rent concession for its leased premises. The terms of the concession are as follows:

15% waiver for the period April 1 through to September 30, 2020.
15% deferral for the period April 1 through to September 30, 2020.
70% due and payable on the first of each month in line with the lease.
No interest on deferred payment.
No increase of rent during the period April 1 through to September 30, 2020.
The lease has been extended by 6 months from September 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022.

The above were treated as lease modification and adjustments were made to the right-of-use assets and corresponding current and non-current liabilities for the year ended 30 June 2020 in accordance with the AASB 16 accounting framework. The net impact of the variation resulted in an increase on the Right -of-use assets balance amounted to $88,103 and Non-current Liabilities increased by 94,626.

11 Critical estimates, judgements and errors

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.

Share-based payments transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and service providers by reference to the value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. Management has determined the fair value by engaging an independent valuer for more complex equity instruments, such as warrants and Performance Rights, by using Black-Scholes, Monte-Carlo Simulation and Binomial model, and utilised internal resources to perform fair value by straight forward equity instruments by using Black-Scholes model.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

12 Financial risk management

This note explains the group's exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect the group’s future financial performance.

The group’s risk management is predominantly controlled by the board. The board monitors the group's financial risk management policies and exposures and approves substantial financial transactions. It also reviews the effectiveness of internal controls relating to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign exchange rate risk arises from financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the group's functional currency. Exposure to foreign currency risk may result in the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to the movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the group holds financial instruments which are other than the Australian dollar (AUD) functional currency of the group. This risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. The cost of hedging at this time outweighs any benefits that may be obtained.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollar ($), which is Genetic Technologies Limited's functional and presentational currency.

Exposure

The group's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollar, was as follows:

Cash at Bank / on hand Trade and other payables	June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 USD EUR USD EUR $ $ $ $
	2,512,767 38,020 201,737 27,052
	99,637 - 117,992 1,900

Sensitivity

As shown in the table above, the group is primarily exposed to changes in USD/AUD exchange rates. The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from USD denominated financial instruments.

The group has conducted a sensitivity analysis of its exposure to foreign currency risk. Based on the financial instruments held as at June 30, 2020, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 6.03% (2019: 5.13%) against the USD with all other variables held constant, the Group's post-tax loss for the year would have been $145,520 lower/higher (2019: $6,466 lower/higher).

• USD: 6.03% (2019: 5.13%)

The group is more sensitive to movements in the AUD/USD exchange rates in 2020 than 2019 because of the increased amount of USD denominated cash and cash equivalents. The US warrants financial liability will be equity-based settled upon exercise of the US warrants. However, as the exercise will be done with an exercise price in US dollars, there is a foreign exchange risk due to the subsequent translation to Australian dollars. The group's exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

12 Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the group.

(i) Risk management

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such as the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Credit terms are normally 30 days from the invoice date.

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating.

(ii) Security

For some trade receivables the group may 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.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The group has one type of financial asset subject to the expected credit loss model:

trade receivables for sales of inventory

While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

Trade receivables

The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

preparing forward looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;
obtaining funding from a variety of sources;
maintaining a reputable credit profile;
managing credit risk related to financial assets;
investing cash and cash equivalents and deposits at call with major financial institutions; and
comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

(a) Employee Option Plan

The fair value of options granted under an Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the vesting period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. The fair value at grant date is determined by management with the assistance of an independent valuer, using a BlackScholes option pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation analysis. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted;

including any market performance conditions (e.g. the entities share price)
excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g. remaining an employee over a specified time period)

The cumulative employee benefits expense recognised 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.

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.

On November 30, 2001, the Directors of the Company established a Staff Share Plan. On November 19, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved the introduction of a new Employee Option Plan. Under the terms of the respective Plans, the Directors may, at their discretion, grant options over the ordinary shares in the Genetic Technologies Limited to executives, consultants, employees, and former Non-Executive Directors, of the Company. The options, which are granted at nil cost, are not transferable and are not quoted on the ASX. As at June 30, 2020, there was 1 executive and 12 employees who held options that had been granted under the Plans. Options granted under the Plans carry no rights to dividends and no voting rights.

(b) Performance Rights Issuance (continued)

Valuation of Performance Rights

the period outstanding before the expiry date of the Performance Rights;
the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted;
the proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares (i.e. whether or not the shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the options represent a controlling or other significant interest); and
the value of the shares into which the Performance Rights may be converted.

The Company has commissioned an independent valuation of the Performance Rights. The independent valuer has applied the Monte Carlo simulation in providing the valuation of the Performance Rights.

Inherent in the application of the Monte Carlo simulation are a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed. The data relied upon in applying the Monte Carlo simulation was:

a) exercise price being 0.0 cents per Performance Right for all classes;
b) VWAP hurdle (10 days consecutive share price hurdle) equaling $0.02 for Class A and Class B and 3.3 cents for Class C Performance Rights;
c) the continuously compounded risk free rate being 2.02% for all classes of Performance Rights (calculated with reference to the RBA quoted Commonwealth Government bonds as at October 8, 2018 of similar duration to that of the expected life of each class of Performance Right);
d) the expected option life of 2.8 years for all classes of Performance Rights; and
e) a volatility measure of 80%.

Performance hurdles

The Class A Performance Rights vest and are exercisable upon the Share price reaching $0.02 or greater for more than 10 day consecutive ASX trading days.

Based on the independent valuation of the Performance Rights, the company agrees that the total value of the Performance Rights to be issued to each director (depending on the share price at issue) is as follows:

Annual Report

23 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(a) Basis of preparation (continued)

(iv) New and amended standards adopted by the group

The group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing July 1, 2019:

AASB 16 Leases.

The impact of the adoption of this standard and the new accounting policy is disclosed below.

AASB 16 will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.

On adoption of AASB 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of July 1, 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on July 1, 2019 was 5.37%.

The associated right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet as at July 1, 2019. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-ofuse assets at the date of initial application.

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
the accounting for operating leases with a lease term of less than 12 months as short-term leases.

The group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made applying AASB 117 and interpretation 4 determining whether an arrangement contains a Lease.

	$
Operating lease commitments disclosed as at June 30, 2019	487,837
Discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate of at the date	461,358
of initial application
Lease liability recognised as at July 1, 2019	461,358
Of which are:
Current lease liabilities	209,887
Non-current lease liabilities	251,471
Right of use of assets increased by	446,645
Lease liabilities increased by	461,358
The net impact on retained earnings on July 1, 2019 was a decrease of	14,712

(v) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

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

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

23 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Principles of consolidation and equity accounting

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

(c) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

(d) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollar ($), which is Genetic Technologies Limited's functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses).

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

assets and liabilities for each consolidated balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that consolidated balance sheet
income and expenses for each consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Annual Report

23 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Revenue recognition

Under AASB 15, revenue is recognised based on contract with customers when performance obligations were satisfied.The following recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Genetic testing revenues

The Company operates facilities which provide genetic testing services. Revenue from the provision molecular risk testing for cancer (BREVAGenplus) is recognised at a point time when the group has provided the customer with their test results, the single performance obligation.

(ii) Interest income

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method.

(iii) Government Grants

The Australian government replaced the research and development tax concession with research and development (R&D) tax incentive from July 1, 2011. The R&D tax incentive applies to expenditure incurred and the use of depreciating assets in an income year commencing on or after July 1, 2011. A refundable tax offset is available to eligible companies with an annual aggregate turnover of less than $20 million. Management has assessed the Group’s activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. The Group accounts for the R&D tax incentive as a government grant. The grant is recognised as other income over the period in which the R&D expense is recognised.

(f) Government grants

Revenue from government grants is recognised in the consolidated income statement on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expense the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate in accordance with IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.

The receivable for reimbursable amounts that have not been collected is reflected in trade and other receivables on our consolidated balance sheets.

Note 4 provides further information on how the group accounts for government grant.

(g) Income tax

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

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

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, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also 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 end of the reporting period 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 only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

(h) Leases

Annual Report

23 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) Impairment of assets

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 of disposal or 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 cashgenerating 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 pretax 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.

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

(k) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. See note 6(b) for further information about the group’s accounting for trade receivables and note 12(b) for a description of the group's impairment policies.

(l) Inventories

(i) Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods

Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG)

Annual Report

23 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(m) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

The depreciation methods and periods used by the group are disclosed in note 7(a).

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 23(i)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

(n) 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.

(o) Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

23 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(p) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

In some countries, the group also has liabilities for long service leave and annual leave that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. These obligations are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(q) 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.

(r) Loss per share

(i) Basic loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing:

the loss 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, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.

(ii) Diluted loss per share

Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic loss per share 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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Annual Report

23 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(s) Goods and services tax (GST)

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:

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(t) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Genetic Technologies Limited, disclosed in note 22 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except that 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.

24 Impact of COVID-19

Continuing concerns over economic and business prospects in the United States and other countries have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the global economy. These factors, coupled with the prospect of decreased business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment resulting from the recent COVID-19 outbreak, may precipitate an economic slowdown and recession. If the economic climate deteriorates, the Company's business, including its access to patient samples and the addressable market for diagnostic tests that it may successfully develop, as well as the financial condition of its suppliers and its

third-party payors, could be adversely affected, resulting in a negative impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On a micro level, the COVID-19 pandemic is having a negative impact on global markets and business activity, which has had an effect on the operations of the Company, including but not limited to that sales of the Company's products have been impacted not only by the inability for consumers to visit their practitioners but also the difficulty its sales team is having in arranging face to face meetings with practitioners. The Company's sales team has found it very difficult to reach practitioners to build on the sales momentum created prior to the pandemic, with the launch into the Australian market being halted after less than 60 days of operations thus, sales have effectively ceased for the short term.

During the period of the pandemic commencing March 2020, the Company undertook a number of capital raises both public and private placements managed by H.C. Wainwright & Co. in the United States of America.

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of Genetic Technologies Limited

Report on the audit of the financial report

Our opinion

In our opinion:

The accompanying financial report of Genetic Technologies Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (together the Group) is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year then ended
(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

What we have audited

The Group financial report comprises:

the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020
the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year then ended
the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies
the directors’ declaration.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report.

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

Independence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Our audit approach

An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates.

==> picture [210 x 117] intentionally omitted <==

Materiality

For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group materiality of $304,000, which represents approximately 5% of the Group’s loss from operations before income tax expense.
We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report as a whole.
We chose Group loss from operations before income tax expense, which is a commonly accepted benchmark.
We utilised a 5% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly acceptable thresholds.

Audit Scope

Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events.
The accounting processes are structured around a Group-wide finance function at the head office in Melbourne.
Our approach had regard for the quality of the control environment and deficiencies identified, which include lack of segregation of duties.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit and Risk Committee.

Key audit matter

Transactions with Related Parties

(Refer to note 18)

Historically the Group has entered into a number of transactions with related parties which have resulted in the issue of performance rights to Directors and milestone shares to Director related entities on the achievement of certain performance conditions which relate to the current financial year.

In October 2019, the Company announced a nonrenounceable pro rata entitlement offer to the market. The offer was underwritten by Lodge Corporate Pty Ltd with two of the Company’s directors agreeing to sub-underwrite the offer. Each director was subsequently issued a total of 125,000,000 unlisted options as consideration of the subunderwriting. Further detail regarding the share options is included in Note 9 “Equity”.

The Group’s accounting policy for these share based issuances is disclosed under Note 19 “Share-based payments”. The Group has recognised $1,056,054 as part of Director transaction costs of the rights issues within equity in the year ended 30 June 2020; whilst $32,498 was recognised in relation to the Share Based Payments.

This is a key audit matter due to:

the nature of related party transactions and the requirement for their disclosure within the financial statements; and

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our audit procedures over transactions between the Group and related parties included, amongst others:

evaluating the completeness of Group’s assessment of its related parties and associated transactions
evaluating the Group’s valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of options issued
obtaining an understanding of the formal agreement between the Directors and the Group and related performance conditions associated with the performance rights
reading minutes of meetings held amongst the board of directors where such matters were discussed and holding discussions with management to understand the status of any performance conditions
assessing the Group’s accounting of share option issuances and performance rights compared to the relevant accounting policy
assessing the associated disclosures made in the financial report for compliance with AASB 124, Related Party Disclosures.
complexity in valuing performance rights and options.

Valuation of the R&D tax incentive receivable (Refer to note 4)

The Group assessed R&D activities and related expenditure for the year to determine eligibility for a refundable tax offset under an Australian Government tax incentive scheme. The R&D tax incentive receivable recognised was $750,000 as at 30 June 2020 and the income recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income was $750,000 for the year then ended.

The Group makes several judgements in determining the eligibility of claimable expenses, including the eligibility of employee costs. The Group was assisted by an expert with the review of the eligibility of expenses underlying the Group’s claim and with the lodgement of the R&D tax incentive claim.

Our audit procedures to assess the Group’s estimate of the R&D tax incentive receivable as at 30 June 2020 and income for the year then ended included, among others:

assessing the nature of the expenses and the Group’s assumptions of the eligibility of employee costs against the eligibility criteria of the R&D tax incentive scheme program;
comparing the prior year receivable recorded in the financial statements as at 30 June 2019 to the amount of cash received from the Australian Tax Office after lodgement of the 2019 R&D tax

==> picture [78 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

This is a key audit matter due to:

the financial significance the R&D tax incentive receivable as at 30 June 2020 and the amount recognised as income for the year then ended; and
the degree of judgement and interpretation of the R&D tax legislation required by the Group to assess the eligibility of the incurred R&D expenditures under the scheme.
incentive claim to assess the historical accuracy of the Group’s estimate;
testing on a sample basis eligible expenditure in the Group’s calculation of the R&D tax incentive receivable to the general ledger or other accounting records;
obtaining correspondence between the Group and their expert and agreeing the advice to the R&D tax incentive calculation; and
assessing the classification of the R&D tax incentive in the financial statements in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report4

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

==> picture [78 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf . This description forms part of our auditor's report.
